Luo Wei dragged Jackie Chan, who had just become famous, into the water again with a bad movie "The Ghost Horse and the Heavenly Master Recruits Ghosts".

The box office of that movie was really terrible. The production cost was 650,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the box office was less than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. Such poor results directly caused Luo Wei to lose his money.

His financial situation was not good to begin with, and now that the house was leaking and it rained all night, he was even more stretched. So when Xiang Nan asked to borrow Jackie Chan again, he did not refuse and directly agreed.

Jackie Chan burst into tears with gratitude to Xiang Nan. The box office performance of "The Ghost Horse Master Recruiting Ghosts" was so bad that it made him lose his popularity as soon as he became popular, which made him very depressed.

In fact, when he was filming this movie, he already felt that the movie was bad.

Because this movie is similar to the Hollywood hit movie "The Exorcist", but Lowe was reluctant to spend a lot of money on special effects, and he didn't pay much attention to creating a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere. Instead, he added a lot of vulgar and funny scenes. Not only It's not funny, it's annoying.

Jackie Chan put forward suggestions because of this, hoping that Luo Wei could make changes, but he always insisted on going his own way and insisted on himself. As a result, the film was neither good nor foreign, neither scary nor funny, nor exciting nor good-looking.

After it was released, it received a lot of bad reviews. Not only did it fail to get a high box office, it also dragged Jackie Chan into trouble, making him naturally extremely depressed.

It can be said that if the next movie fails to improve again, the label of "box office poison" will be worn on him again. Jackie Chan is naturally very worried.

And now Xiang Nan invites him to film, which undoubtedly rescues him from the sea of ​​fire.

"Mr. Ning, thank you so much." He said sincerely.

"Don't say that, I will use you only if you are good enough." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Work hard and don't betray my trust."

"Definitely." Jackie Chan nodded.

…

The production of "The Tiger Who Swallowed His Teeth" was then about to start, and Xiang Nan also asked Jackie Chan to serve as director and director, giving him as much room as possible to express his talents.

In fact, Jackie Chan is a very talented person. Although he did not go to school very much and was sent to drama school before finishing elementary school. But he is very smart and good at thinking. Many action shooting skills were developed by him. I figured it out. This is introduced in detail in the documentary "Jackie Chan's Stunts".

Moreover, he has written, directed and acted in many of his movies, such as "The Strange Move of Laughing Fist", "Junior Brother's Attack", "Plan A", "Police Story", "Who Am I", and "Eagle Plan" Wait, he even took over the martial arts direction of all movies.

Therefore, unlike Jet Li, Yan Zidan, Michelle Yeoh and other pure action actors, Jackie Chan is actually a versatile and comprehensive film talent. The more room he is given to perform, the more surprises he can bring.

Jackie Chan was also very touched when he saw Xiang Nan handing over all the power to him and trusting him so much.

When he was filming at Luo Wei Pictures, Luo Wei didn't respect his opinions, was stubborn, and acted on his own terms, which made him feel constrained and uncomfortable.

But at Zhen Kung Fu Pictures, he could use all his talents and shoot whatever he wanted. It was really enjoyable. This also solidified his idea of ​​leaving Luo Wei Pictures.

…

At the same time, after He Guanchang returned to Jiahe, he also told Zou Wenhuai what Xiang Nan meant.

"If we can't show enough sincerity, I think Ning Wei will definitely leave." He said worriedly.

"Can he leave? Can we file a lawsuit with him?" Cai Yongchang frowned.

"There is no problem for him to leave. He is also the major shareholder of Real Kung Fu Pictures and enjoys the same rights as us." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said, "I think he should have been prepared before, so he deliberately did not sign a contract with us.

"

Xiang Nan only signed a contract with Zhen Kung Fu Pictures, and he himself is also the major shareholder of Zhen Kung Fu, holding 50% of the shares, and has a high degree of autonomy. Jiahe cannot prevent him from cooperating with other companies.

"He is determined to leave, who can stop him? Don't forget, he is so skilled. If you really push him, he will jump over the wall." He Guanchang also reminded.

Zou Wenhuai had suffered a lot. If Xiang Nan had given him a knife instead of a slap that night, Zou Wenhuai's death would have been in vain, and the police would not be able to find out the murderer.

"Since being tough is not enough, then we will be soft." Cai Yongchang pondered, "What other benefits can we provide him? Higher remuneration, higher box office share, or more autonomy?"

"These are not enough. Whatever we can give, Lei Juekun can also give." Zou Wenhuai waved his hands and said, "Now that he plans to enter the film industry, he will definitely give up his wealth."

Lei Juekun is the top rich man in Hong Kong. He owns Kowloon Bus, Kowloon Real Estate, and the Golden Princess Cinema Line. His strength is only stronger than Jiahe.

Therefore, Lei Juekun can also meet the three conditions set by Jiahe, and can even set higher conditions.

After all, burning money to grab the market is what every new company will do. Golden Harvest was able to hire Wang Jie, Bruce Lee, and Xu Guanwen back then because it was more willing to spend money than Shaw Brothers.

"Then what advantage do we have?" Cai Yongchang said depressedly, "We can give to others too. Besides, we have had conflicts with Ning Wei, and our relationship is not as close as others, so even if we try to play the favor card, it won't work."

"We have one more thing that Lei Juekun can't give us." He Guanchang suddenly said.

"What?!" Cai Yongchang and Zou Wenhuai looked at him together.

…

Peninsula Hotel.

Xiang Nan was discussing the lawsuit on the phone with a lawyer in the United States.

He wants to sue Warner Pictures for infringement of his script copyright and demand compensation for damages.

"I'm not considering out-of-court settlement or selling the script, so just file a lawsuit with me. I can afford it," Xiang Nan told the lawyer.

Warner used to be indifferent to him, but now he makes Warner unable to reach his height.

Therefore, according to the lawyer's letter he sent, the "Long Wei Boy" project is now in chaos.

Because there is no copyright to the script, the project has now stalled. If we continue to shoot, it will no longer be possible to make it. Once it is made, it will not be released, which is a waste of money.

But it’s not a problem to stop there. After all, the director, actors, and staff are all in place, and you will lose money if you don’t start work. If it were in the Hong Kong film industry and this movie couldn’t be made, it could be made with the original crew.

Another one.

But this is not the case in Hollywood. If the contract is for this movie, then this is the movie that will be made, and it is not allowed to be changed at will.

If Warner unilaterally breaches the contract, the liquidated damages alone will be a large sum of money. Therefore, Warner would like to settle the matter through out-of-court settlement or directly buy Xiang Nan's script.

However, Xiang Nan did not lack tens of thousands of dollars from selling the script, nor did he lack hundreds of thousands of dollars from out-of-court settlements. He never agreed and always asked the lawyer to fight to the end.

"Who told you to despise me in the first place?" Xiang Nan snorted coldly. He is such a character who is determined to retaliate.

"Okay." The lawyer nodded.

He works for a fee, and since Xiang Nan wants him to fight to the end, he will fight to the end.
