Movie tycoon

Chapter 664 Madman (Part [-])
As the saying goes, there are four joys in life: when there is nectar after a long drought, when you meet an old friend in a foreign land;

In fact, one more item should be added, when sharing money for cooperation!
Now Chen Xiaotang feels refreshed, like him there are Fatty Wang Jing, director Cheng Xiaodong, Afro Jim, and Paramount President Nick who was full of anger.

It is not easy to earn money, this is the lament of many people.

But now Chen Xiaotang and his group are sighing, this money is so fucking easy to earn!
On their desks, there is the movie box office report they just received.

The content of the report is as follows: "Assassin's Creed" Asian region, including Hong Kong, Taiwan~Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places, has a total box office revenue of 8000 million US dollars!
"Assassin's Creed" European region, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany and other places, has a total box office revenue of 5000 million US dollars!

"Assassin's Creed" North American box office revenue as high as [-] million US dollars!

In total, the box office of this film made by the Chinese surpassed all Hollywood blockbusters of the same period, with a box office revenue of 3000 million!If we add in the 2000 million earned by Chen Xiaotang from selling albums and publications, that is to say, Chen Xiaotang made a total of 5000 million US dollars in a trip to the United States!Equivalent to HK$36 billion! !
36 billion!

Dafa! ! !
This is everyone's exclamation.

In just over a month, such an achievement is enough to make everyone feel like a dream.

Chen Xiaotang is a very generous person, so he distributed the 5000 million US dollars according to the previous contract, and finally received more than 2 million US dollars in his hands.

Two hundred million US dollars is not a lot. Chen Xiaotang is contented and happy, Fatty Wang Jing and director Cheng Xiaodong are even more cheering. After accepting Chen Xiaotang's "teaching", Paramount's Nick, in order to get closer to his dear Chen, shouted Roaring to celebrate.

Chen Xiaotang didn't want to refute their interest, so he booked a luxury party at the top nightclub in Hollywood.

During the party, it is inevitable to drink and drink, and the big guys are familiar with each other, talking about the next cooperation.

Chen Xiaotang said bluntly that he was going to make persistent efforts to make a movie about assassins.The name has already been thought of, it is called "League of Assassins"!
""Assassin's Creed"? It's a good name!" Paramount boss Nick bit his cigar and nodded his head. "It feels like the sequel to "Assassin's Creed". I believe it will be a hit!"

For some reason, Nick now has high confidence in Chen Xiaotang's play. As soon as Chen Xiaotang said a name, he applauded him, which is completely different from his previous virtues.

Chen Xiaotang laughed, and said: "This "Assassin's League" has nothing to do with "Assassin's Creed", it's purely a new story. I can tell you the content first."

Next, Chen Xiaotang told the plot of the drama "League of Assassins" in his previous life.

This play tells that Wesley, who had a peaceful life, has just entered the golden age of 25 years old. However, for a person who is born to like to escape from reality, his life has reached the final stage of eating and dying. For a long time, the meaning of life was to pass the time and wait for death--until he met a woman named Fox and everything changed.

Wesley always thought that his biological father had died when he was born, but the situation was not as simple as he thought, Fox brought him the truth: his father was killed yesterday Murder, and she was ordered to take Wesley back to finish his father's unfinished business...

The fatal attraction emanating from Fox made Wesley follow her without hesitation to join the "Brotherhood", a secret society organization that has existed for 1000 years, where he was trained to release hidden energy , to avenge his father's death—it turned out that the killing instinct had already been so deeply ingrained in his blood.

When Fox taught Wesley how to develop lightning-fast reflexes and fruitful agility, he also discovered that this organization has always adhered to an ancient and unbreakable belief: to implement the death order given by fate, Kill one person, save a thousand people.

Under the guidance of a group of highly skilled and talented mentors, Wesley began to be deeply fascinated by the powerful potential he had developed, but gradually, he also realized that behind these dangerous "companions" were hidden secrets invisible to the naked eye. to the secret...

It has to be said that Chen Xiaotang was born with a talent for storytelling, with cadenced language, colorful expressions, and the charm of the story itself, which left Nick and others stunned.

After Chen Xiaotang finished telling the story, Paramonik, who was "taught" and tended to be a little white rabbit, applauded first, and said, "Oh God, you still said that this is not a sister chapter of "Assassin's Creed", there are similarities in the same way but the same effect. Well!"

"Yeah, Rafi, I also think this will be a modern version of "Assassin's Creed." Afro Jim said.

Fatty Wang Jing and director Cheng Xiaodong also nodded in unison.

Chen Xiaotang was surprised. Could it be that these two plays are really close?

As the saying goes: the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.

Because of Chen Xiaotang's preconceived ideas, he didn't consider the similarities between the two plays, but Nick and the others were sharp-eyed. After hearing Chen Xiaotang's story, they immediately realized that this is not the modern version of "Assassin's Creed". !

The murder creed in "Assassin's Creed" is: eliminate violence and make good.

The murder creed of "League of Assassins" is: kill one, save a thousand.

In addition, the two dramas basically have super exciting action scenes, and it is another opportunity for Chinese Kungfu to show its prowess...

After listening to Nick and others' explanation, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help touching his nose, and said with a smile: "After hearing what you said, these two dramas are really... born twin brothers!" It was a tacit agreement to this ingenious similarity.

In fact, the reason why Chen Xiaotang proposed to shoot this movie stems from his liking for this movie.I especially like the unique visual effects in this movie: the collision of bullets in the air, the trajectory of the ball turning in the air, the slow motion of the sports car flipping in the air and the killer shooting in the gap.It can be said that the director of this play interpreted a new type of violent aesthetics with amazing imagination.

Now that Moying Entertainment has invested in Industrial Light & Magic, it happened to take advantage of the opportunity of filming this movie to test the special effects capabilities of Industrial Light & Magic.In addition, Chen Xiaotang also intends to make his title of "Kung Fu King" brighter, and this must require him to continue to show his talents in action movies.

"Don't say anything, Chen, we decided to continue to support you in this drama. If you have money, everyone can earn it together, right?" Nick laughed, fearing that Chen Xiaotang would reject his "investment".After all, he is famous now, so he can kill the donkey and stop treating him as a dish.Nick believed that as long as Chen Xiaotang beckoned, other film companies would come to him like a whore.

However, Nick obviously underestimated Chen Xiaotang's "Character Charm", and it would not reach the lower limit of killing a donkey.

Therefore, Chen Xiaotang comforted him and said: "Don't worry, old friend, we Chinese are the most affectionate, a couple who can be married for one night will be rewarded for a hundred days, not to mention we have fought side by side for so long!"

"Hehe, just to say, I am Lafite, you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness!" Nick laughed happily.

"However, it's a ratio..." Chen Xiaotang hesitated to speak.

"This can be renegotiated, dear Chen! I'm not the kind of unreasonable person. With your current worth, of course you have to be flexible!"

Yes, this Nick is very good.

As if to express his super "sincere" friendship, Nick continued to break the news: "Don't tell me you don't know, Chen, there is actually some good news, I think you can try it..."

"Oh what's the matter?" Chen Xiaotang laughed.

Nick became sneaky, "This is inside information in our Hollywood circle, most people don't even know..."

Chen Xiaotang laughed at his mysterious appearance, "Tell me quickly, dear Nick, what is the news?"

"Fox is about to close down!" Nick said solemnly.

Fox out of business? !
This seems to be "unlucky" news, how could it be good news?

Just when Chen Xiaotang was surprised, Nick continued: "It is said that the world's media tycoon Merck wants to buy Fox these days. Chen, you can participate in the competition under the guise, and help Fox raise the price by the way, and you can also get some kickbacks." Isn't it?"

Chen Xiaotang was stunned, asking for kickbacks? !Let me pick, who said that this is an exclusive invention of the Chinese? !
"Such a good thing, why don't you do it yourself?" Chen Xiaotang asked with a smile while drinking.

"You don't understand." Nick took a grape with a fork and quickly threw it into his mouth. "We have a lot of damn laws in the United States that prohibit this very immoral speculation!"

"Hehe, since it's immoral, you still let me do it?"

"What's the difference? You're not an American, and you're no better than being bound by our American laws... You're free, buddy, and that's your advantage!" Nick said earnestly.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "It looks like this is really a good opportunity..."

"Of course it's not bad, you can get money if you just use your mouth, God, I'm so envious of you!" Nick clicked his tongue.

Chen Xiaotang: "However, I never thought it would be as simple as talking..."

"Why, do you still want to move your fist?" Nick joked.

The corner of Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled up, "No, I just want to buy Fox!"

"Huh?!" Nick's mouth grew too big.

Plop!The watermelon that the fat man had just stuffed into his mouth fell out.

Cheng Xiaodong choked on the wine with a "Hang Chi".

Afro Jim drew a cross on his chest, "Oh God, Chen, you must be joking!"

Chen Xiaotang was as calm as water, with a slow tone, "No, I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth!"

In an instant, the atmosphere became very strange.
