Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 569 Chaos is imminent (4.5k)

"For [-] million, our New Line Films has won all the North American distribution copyrights of the second and third parts. Mr. He, this is our most sincere offer.

You won't find anything higher than this price in all of America. "

More than half an hour of negotiation did not allow the two parties to reach a satisfactory cooperation intention.

Annie has been stuck at the price of [-] million to win the second and third parts.

And He Jin kept asking for [-] million.

Jerry Sdin, who was sitting by the side, finally couldn't help but open his mouth, and quoted the highest price he had applied for from the senior management.

He Jin thought for a while after listening to Jerry Sdin's quotation.

Feeling that this might be the bottom line of the new line, he finally nodded.

"OK, happy cooperation!"

He Jin's words of happy cooperation made both Jerry Ding and Annie smile with satisfaction.

"Mr. He, you are too difficult to deal with. You are the most difficult negotiating opponent I have ever seen."

The cooperation intention has been reached, and Jerry Ding complimented with a smile.

"Mr. Jerry Steen is also the toughest negotiator I have ever met!"

Now that the cooperation has been reached, He Jin will naturally not be stingy with words of praise.

A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost, is a perfect match for people like them.

The two sides have reached a cooperation intention, so the next thing naturally doesn't need to be done by the boss, He Jin.

The company's lawyers will draft a professional contract to sign with New Line.

Although Jerry Ding and Annie are not the bosses, they are in charge, so naturally they don't have to worry about these trivial matters.

Therefore, after discussing the cooperation, several people made an appointment to go out together.

That night, He Jin took two foreigners to have a good time in several entertainment venues in Xiangjiang, which was also fulfilling what he said earlier, "I will pay for today's consumption".

The next day, He Jin and Jerry Ding officially signed the contract at Huaren Film and Television.

After Jerry Steen prepaid the first payment of [-] million stipulated in the contract, he flew back to the United States with the master tape of "Fast and Furious II".

In the next period of time, New Line Pictures will invest resources as soon as possible to complete the dubbing of "Fast and Furious II".

At the same time, they will choose a suitable date and try to make "Fast and Furious [-]" released in the United States within this year.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with He Jin.

According to the contract, He Jin will not be responsible for participating in the subsequent North American promotion of "Fast and Furious II".

If New Line wanted to invite him to participate, it would have to pay extra.

The copyright has already been sold, and He Jin has nothing to do with the loss or loss of this film in North America.

Oh, there is a little relationship.

If the box office of the next two films continues to sell well, it will definitely improve He Jin's reputation in the United States.

Overall, Fast and Furious's U.S. release can only do him good.

On May [-]th, Anita Mui finally finished her concert in Guangdong and rushed back to Xiangjiang.

After she came back, she only rested for one night. On the second day, she came to He Jin's Huaxing Records and participated in the recording of "Mythical Love Words" and "It's Difficult to Love".

The cooperation of "Mythical Love Talk" was discussed before, and "It's Difficult to Love" was invited by He Jin again after the song arrangement was completed.

The original singers of "Love is Difficult" are Anita Mui and Jacky Cheung, her voice is very suitable for this song.

So after He Jin thought about it, he continued to invite her to sing this song.

In a real sense, this collaboration should be regarded as the first collaboration between He Jin and Anita Mui.

Since their debut in Xiangjiang in 1991, although He Jin and Anita Mui have often met in various events.

In 1991, He Jin was also invited to participate in the filming of "The Night Banquet".

But for various reasons, and when filming "The Banquet of a Rich Family", He Jin's role was almost just a secondary role.

So in a real sense, this should be the first collaboration between the two of them.

One of the two is an actress in charge, a well-deserved big sister in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

One is currently the most popular Uranus King. The news of the two's cooperation immediately caused a sensation within a certain range after being known to the outside world.

"The Strongest Heavenly King and Xiangjiang's Daughter's First Collaboration"

"Located on June [-]th, He Jin and Anita Mui's first passionate duet"

"Anita Mui expressed that she wanted to cooperate with He Jin for a long time, and now she finally has the opportunity to cooperate, she cherishes it very much"

"He Jin admires Anita Mui so much"

……

All kinds of news began to fly all over the sky, making the entire Chinese music scene tremble.

On June [-]th, He Jin is going to release an album, and this time He Jin will collaborate on two songs with the queen Anita Mui.

As soon as this news came out, many singers who were planning to release their album in June immediately scolded He Jin secretly, and then silently postponed the planned release of the album in June.

Polygram.

Jacky Cheung, who was recording a new album, was called out of the recording studio by the staff, and it was his manager Chen Shufen who called him.

Yes, it's Chen Shufen again.

You can't imagine how awesome she was in this period.

Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Jacky Cheung, Grasshopper and a bunch of important singers in the Hong Kong music scene have all signed under her banner.

"Sister Shufen, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xueyou took the phone out of the recording studio, sat down in the lounge next to him, and then asked.

"Hua Xing released the news that He Jin's new album will be released on June [-]th. I discussed with Huang Tao and plan to push back the release date of your album from the original [-]th to the [-]th. No."

On the phone, Chen Shufen said.

Hearing this, Jacky Cheung couldn't help frowning, and said with suppressed anger, "Why delay? I'm afraid of him?"

Zhang Xueyou's words made Chen Shufen on the phone pause.

Can become a king, Jacky Cheung, Liming and even Aaron Kwok, none of them are arrogant.

But compared to Jacky Cheung's self-confidence, Chen Shufen is a very realistic person.

In the past two years, He Jin has become very popular. As a manager, she evaluates various sales data and reports every day. She knows He Jin's difficulty better than the singer.

"We are not afraid, but to avoid losing both sides. Your album colliding with him will not do you or him any good.

This is what I discussed with Huaxing Records. "

Chen Shufen tried her best not to sound really afraid of He Jin.

"Since we discussed it, why didn't he let me?

His new album was produced sooner than mine. He knew that I was going to release a new album in June, but he bumped into it. He thinks I'm a bully because of my lack of popularity! "

The king of heaven is also divided.

The outside world will rank the five heavenly kings every year.

Since the establishment of the Five Heavenly Kings, except for Aaron Kwok who has never been ranked first, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Liming and He Jin have all been ranked first.

Among them, He Jin was ranked first by the media the most times, followed by Andy Lau.

Jacky Cheung has been very stable in the past few years. In 1993, he was even considered the most powerful person among the five heavenly kings with "Kiss Goodbye".

However, as the sales of He Jin's follow-up album "Friendship" surpassed Jacky Cheung, his popularity dropped rapidly last year, and he has dropped to the middle of the top five.

"He is in a hurry this year, you don't have to be serious.

We are not really afraid of him, just try to avoid collisions. "

Chen Shufen could feel the anger in Jacky Cheung's tone, and then said.

"Don't push it back, tune it forward, tune it to number ten, so what if you touch it? Will I be afraid of him?"

Jacky Cheung said in a deep voice, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

After that, he immediately called Huang Tao, the president of the company, and asked to push the release date of his album forward.

Jacky Cheung has always been the son of Polygram.

Even Liming can't compare with it, which is well known to the outside world.

For a long time, when the singers of PolyGram chose songs, Jacky Cheung was given priority, and Li Ming had to give in.

Therefore, when Jacky Cheung strongly demanded to push forward the album and planned to meet He Jin, Huang Tao, the president of PolyGram Xiangjiang who had just taken office for more than a year, was worried that Jacky Cheung would be dismissed by He Jin, but he still agreed. Jacky Cheung's proposal pushed the release date of Jacky Cheung's album to the twelfth.

Yes, number twelve.

Huang Tao was still a little worried that Jacky Cheung's album would be affected to a certain extent, so he didn't really change the time to the [-]th that Jacky Cheung requested, but transferred it to the [-]th.

On the other side, Chen Shufen, who was attending a live event with Leslie Cheung, immediately bid farewell to Leslie Cheung after Jacky Cheung hung up the phone, and rushed to Polygram in a hurry.

She was not going to persuade Jacky Cheung, but to ease the relationship.

Managers and singers have always been one.

If there is a gap between the two parties, it almost means that the cooperation will not last long.

Chen Shufen naturally didn't want the relationship with Jacky Cheung to be stiff.

Warner.

Aaron Kwok and Xiaomei are sitting in the office, they are currently holding a newspaper, the content of the newspaper is the release date of He Jin's new album and the news of the collaboration with Anita Mui.

"What should I do? Should the album date be pushed back?"

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Aaron Kwok asked.

It's not that Aaron Kwok has no temper, it's because this year's album is too important to him.

In 94, he published frequently, and released a full seven albums.

However, except for the seven albums "Wild City" that made his career rise a lot, the evaluation of the other albums is very low.

In the 1994 major awards held in February, he won even fewer awards than in previous years.

The release date of "Wild City" is January 1994, and the 93 award was issued in February 94, so this album is actually counted in 93.

After "Wild City", he obviously felt that his popularity had returned to the first half of 93, almost falling into a trough again.

Therefore, under the strong suggestion of him and his agent Xiaomei, Warner pushed all resources to create the current album "Legend of Innocence" for him.

Aaron Kwok and all the city fans felt aggrieved by the loss at the award ceremony in 94.Because that year, Aaron Kwok not only successfully held his own large-scale concert in Hong Kong, but also released a very high density of films.

But at the year-end awards ceremony, he failed miserably. Aaron Kwok said at the awards: I hope to meet a good song in the coming year.

The creative staff of "Innocent Legend" is simply super, all the best musicians in Hong Kong are here, Lui Songde, Tan Guozheng, Huang Shangwei, Xiaomei, Lin Xi, Pan Yuanliang!

Among them, Aaron Kwok himself wrote a song.

Aaron Kwok, Xiaomei and Warner almost all bet on this album.

With such a lineup and expectations, Aaron Kwok would not want it to suffer from a collision with He Jin's album.

So he directly offered to push back the album release date.

"It can't be withdrawn, Warner has invested all its resources, and the major media will start to promote it the day after tomorrow.

If it is withdrawn, the album will lose several million Hong Kong dollars in announcement fees before it is released. "

Xiaomei shook her head.

"What should I do?"

Guo Fucheng frowned.

He really didn't want to collide with He Jin.

He and He Jin met once last year, and that time he and Jacky Cheung had never fucked him.

"Actually, we may not necessarily be affected.

Your album is the successor to "Wild City", and the music style is mainly based on passion.

And He Jinsulai likes to use love songs as the main theme of the album.

Your styles are different, even if there is an impact, it will not be too big. "Xiaomei said.

"Why did he suddenly release an album? Didn't the company expect him to release a new album in July or August?"

Aaron Kwok looked at Xiaomei.

"It is said that his plans were interrupted by the North American promotion of "Fast and Furious".

He was almost delayed in North America for more than a month, which made his schedule too crowded and had to be rushed. "

Xiaomei told the news she had heard.

"He made me miserable. If I'm not careful, my career may suffer from Waterloo." Aaron Kwok couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Speaking of hating, he really couldn't hate it.

At the beginning, in order to compete with Taiwanese singers, the major companies in Hong Kong, although they had agreed with each other, the five heavenly kings tried not to pick the release date of the album together, but to be consistent with the outside world.

But as Wang Jie almost went into seclusion and Zhou Huajian couldn't support himself alone, this agreement gradually became empty words.

The five heavenly kings gradually began to fight for status and reputation, and it is a common occurrence for albums to collide with each other.

You snipe me, I snipe you, this is already the norm.

Last year, he completely broke the rules, releasing seven albums in a row.

No one else said anything about it.

Now that he met He Jin, how could he hate others?

"Since the date cannot be changed, let's increase the publicity! Our release date is June [-], and we still have an advantage."

Aaron Kwok stood up, no longer thinking about what would happen if he collided with He Jin's album.

What he can do now is to increase the promotional efforts, and then try his best to improve the quality of the album.

"I will discuss with Warner and try to increase the publicity!" Xiaomei nodded.

Regarding the collision of the album with Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung, Ho Jin actually didn't know.

He knew that this matter was brought up by Anita Mui three days later when she and Anita Mui finished recording "Love Is Difficult" and went out for dinner.

Chen Shufen approached Anita Mui and wanted He Jin to change the release date of the album.

Chen Shufen didn't want to create a estrangement with Jacky Cheung, so naturally she didn't persuade Jacky Cheung anymore.

But she didn't want Jacky Cheung's album to collide with He Jin, so she could only hope that He Jin could change the time.

So she found Anita Mui and wanted to ask He Jin to change the date with the help of Anita Mui.

"Sister Mei, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. My release date has already been announced, and all promotional resources have been invested.

If the date is changed now, the company will lose money. "

After hearing what Anita Mui said, He Jin smiled wryly.

"It's possible to push the album forward for a day or two, but when Dawn [-] releases the EP, pushing it forward for a day or two is almost completely face to face with him. I'm afraid he will hate me to death."

Among the five heavenly kings, He Jin and Andy Lau had the best relationship, they almost wore a pair of pants.

Then, the one who has a good relationship with He Jin is Liming.

The two have also held concerts together.

For a long period of time in 93, You He Wo Ming dominated entertainment headlines almost every day.

This You He Wo Ming Shuo group is talking about He Jin and Li Ming. During that time, the two held more than a dozen You He Wo Ming concerts in order to raise money for charity.

It is also because of the cooperation during that time that the relationship between the two has always been good.

When He Jin was filming "Fast and Furious", Liming also helped himself out and played a role in it.

Therefore, if He Jin really collides with his EP face to face, he will probably be scolded to death by him.

"Forget it, I'll just say it, if you can't change it, forget it!"

Anita Mui was not angry about this.

For her, agreeing to help Chen Shufen is just a matter of convenience, even if He Jin refuses to agree, it will not affect her in the slightest.

Anyway, it wasn't her album that collided with He Jin.

"By the way, how about what I told you before? Attend my concert the day after tomorrow?"

Anita Mui did not bring up that topic, but asked with a smile.

"Yes! It's a great honor to attend your concert, Sister Mei."

"Haha! Then it's settled, I'll send a car to pick you up the night after tomorrow!"

……

4500 words, there are still 4000 tonight, ask for a monthly pass.
