Chapter 353 French City Hunter?
Rigged City Christmas Premiere,
The box office is 75 million!

For Ding Cheng, it is quite satisfactory. After CJ's indiscriminate bombardment, the box office of 700 million is basically no problem.

900 million is a threshold, if you exceed it, you will be ranked in the top three of the year, and if you meet someone who is particularly capable of playing, it will be at least the top five.

I worked with Lee Jae Hyun in three films, the first two of which made a lot of money. This is not counting the box office in China, which is worthy of his media investment.

Back in the capital, spend more than a month celebrating the New Year, spending time with my parents, and waiting for the spring to bloom the rest of the script.

In summary, last year's success was quite great. It continued to expand its influence in South Korea. Regardless of box office and awards, its reputation was getting better and better.

Then I cooperated with Uncle Mi, although it was only a short period of two months to test the water, but it can be regarded as an in-depth understanding of the Bollywood industrial operation system, and the information compiled has somewhat contributed.

Of course, I have also received invitations from many domestic directors, but I have not accepted them. If the script is not against the sky, I will not consider it in the future.

Back home during the Spring Festival, the whole family is busy celebrating the New Year. My parents are very satisfied with the current work rhythm. They have at least two or three months of rest every year. The money is already enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Health is the most important thing.

After returning from Koh Samui, at the end of February, I was refreshed and ready to start work. Suddenly I received a script, which was actually an invitation from a French director?
A remake of City Hunter?

After reading the script, I went directly to the movie to meet with the director. It was so interesting!

Seeing Philip Prashaw, a little-known little director, he was very excited to see Ding Cheng and said, "I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect to see you?"

Ding Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said in fluent French: "Everything is an arrangement of fate, isn't it?"

Philip was surprised. He didn't expect Ding Cheng to speak French?
Signaling the other party to sit down, Ding Cheng took out the script and asked, "Is there any problem with the copyright?"

"Of course!" Philip said to himself: "The animated version of City Hunter was broadcast in the 90s, and I'm one of the crazy fans!"

"It took five years to sort it out and send the story outline, plan, and handwritten letter to Hojo Tsukasa's office. He was very interested in adapting the script and directly gave me the authorization to film it."

Ding Cheng nodded secretly, so he felt confident. The adaptation of the original work was afraid of being wild and unrestrained. After completely letting himself go, fans would definitely criticize him.

I also grew up watching City Hunter, and Cheng Long's film adaptation was the most impressive, and it was also popular in Southeast Asia at that time, creating a myth at the box office.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee absolute loyalty to the original style!"

Philip explained: "On top of this, we combine the movie worldview with the humor of our country, use action comedy and implement it, and even refer to "Kingsman" and other more modern action comedies."

"Because you are the most popular film star in China, this comic has a high popularity foundation in Southeast Asia. In order to win more box office, I hope to invite you to play the leading role."

"And..." Philip suddenly hesitated and said, "The investment is very tight, can your salary be enough?"

Ding Cheng waved his hand, already knowing that the cost was small, he said directly: "You can become a shareholder with remuneration!"

"That's great!" Philip didn't expect the cooperation to be so smooth, and excitedly said, "We can discuss the details, and everything is ready. When will we start shooting?"

Are you just waiting for me?

Ding Cheng smiled helplessly, and met in France a week later, sent Philip away, and told Su Yao: "Try to fight for shares and overseas shares, at worst, let's bring capital into the team!"

Su Yao was taken aback. It was rare for an old cadre to value a small cost so much. She asked curiously, "Are you so confident?"

"The fact that the script is approved by Hojo is worth the investment." Ding Cheng analyzed: "In so many years, there has only been one overseas adaptation, Cheng Long's version. As one of the indispensable memories of my childhood in [-]s and [-]s, its popularity definitely has great potential."

"What's more, the director is a Frenchman!"

"As long as Hojo is not an old fool and dares to play with his golden name so much, the script will definitely be outstanding."

Su Yao nodded. It turns out that the veteran cadres have always had a vicious vision. They have never lost investment. Now they have money in their hands, and they can eat as much as they have shares!
Seeing Yaozai leave, Ding Cheng picked up the script again. The reason why he chose it was to invest and make money for a small purpose.

It was my first time to work with a French director, and I finally had the opportunity to understand the European film industry process. After all, the cultural aesthetics of the two countries are very different. If I didn't choose the right entry point...

The director is not stupid. Since he dared to gamble all his wealth, it shows that City Hunter is very popular in France. As a veteran fan, the script can be recognized by the original author who is critical, which has already explained many problems.

This work has a solid mass base in China, Japan, and South Korea. The success of Cheng Long's version fully proved this point. Needless to say, China and South Korea, as long as they acted by themselves, Fatty Yu and Lee Jae-hyun were too happy.

On the contrary, it is an island country. I am worried that I have no chance to test the water. If I feel sleepy, someone will give me a pillow?
Cooperate with French directors to test the aesthetics of island movie audiences,
A good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

After studying the script carefully, there are many surprising adaptations, such as the dirty jokes that are faithful to Hojo's original work...the fusion of action scenes and comedy elements is very measured...the laughs are dense enough...

I have to say that the director definitely has a talent for funny!
The more I watch, the more I look forward to it. In all these years since my debut, I have never acted in a comedy before!

There are not only the stalks of "City Hunter", but also the Easter eggs of other comic works, such as "Ranma 1/2", "Saint Seiya", "Fist of the North Dipper", "Captain Tsubasa"...

That's as much as I can see.

The news Su Yao brought back was even more surprising. She only got [-]% of the shares as a salary?

"The investment in this film is actually 2000 million euros!"

Su Yao said with a gloomy face: "the French are very shrewd, and they will not give in to life or death. If we can't handle domestic and Korean overseas issuance, we won't be able to hold this share!"

Ding Cheng is also drunk, 2000 million euros, converted into RMB at least [-] million investment...

You call this a small cost?

Are all the rich in France now?

Forget it, the large investment shows that the director has confidence, money is secondary, the main thing is to find an entry point, to see what kind of virtue the French audience is?
Flying to Paris, the director couldn't bear the force of the prehistoric, and started filming the next day without saying a word.

It was the first time I met other actors. As a director, I saw that Ding Cheng quickly won the favor of everyone with his fluent French.

Started to set makeup, no matter hair style or clothes, 100% faithful to the original book, playing the role of a private detective named Nicky Larson, a little famous but bohemian, especially seeing beauties, simply...

The heroine Laura is her agent, and her brother was once her partner in life and death, and the two depended on each other after death.

She looks like a tomboy on the surface, but she has a crush on herself for a long time, but she dare not express it.

The plot begins with the mysterious client finding himself in order to prevent the love perfume invented by the dead father from falling into the hands of terrorists, and asking to get rid of all those who came to snatch the perfume.

Because it is not an ordinary perfume, anyone who has smelled it will fall in love with the perfumer.

I must have questioned the power of the perfume as a fool, but the entrusted person sprayed the perfume on his hand and put it close to his nose...

The most unlucky thing is that the perfume and antidote were snatched by another mercenary mammoth. How to get back the perfume and antidote within 48 hours in order not to let himself be broken?

The crazy and funny journey begins!
