Chen Kexin： It’s worthwhile to invite Jet Li for 100 million yuan. This is still the friendship price he gave.

　　　　The film warlords will be released in the mainland on December 13th. In an interview recently, director Chen Kexin shouted out the "300 million" box office expectation. "Without Jet Li, we dare not spend $40 million to shoot a Chinese film. He is the guarantee of global box office!" Chen Kexin said that Jet Li’s pay for taking the "warlords" was as high as RMB 100 million. "This is still the friendship price he gave."

　　　　According to reports, nearly half of the investment in "warlords" is spent on the actor’s pay. As can be seen from the actor’s pay list provided by the film, the pay of Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Xu Jinglei is not very high, which is 16 million yuan, 12 million yuan and 2 million yuan respectively. What really consumes most of the investment in warlords is Jet Li’s salary-as high as 100 million yuan, accounting for about one-third of the total investment. In this regard, director Chen Kexin said in an interview: "I think it is worth it. Besides, this is the friendship price given by Jet Li. His current salary in Hollywood is $15 million, equivalent to nearly 120 million yuan. It was Jet Li who took the initiative to remove the fraction of 20 million yuan. "

　　　　Chen Kexin told the Morning Post that Jet Li is currently the most expensive Asian actor in Hollywood. When filming Zhang Yimou’s Hero, Jet Li was paid 70 million yuan. "But Jet Li’s films are sold in North America! When I arrived at Huo Yuanjia, Jet Li was one of the investors. He didn’t get paid, but he got $30 million in global box office dividends. " Chen Kexin calculated an account for the Morning Post reporter, "Jet Li’s" Huo Yuanjia "earned 120 million yuan at the mainland box office, and then we also have Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Xu Jinglei in this film. The House of Flying Daggers starring Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro earned 180 million yuan at the box office. In this way, the warlords should have a box office of 300 million in the mainland! " According to Chen Kexin, the release time of "Warlords" in North America has been confirmed in March next year.
