Chapter 1398: Strike While the Iron Is Hot

Because the box office of "Raid" was so good, Hong Jinbao took the opportunity to take the three protagonists of Yuan Biao, Fu Sheng and Zhou Bili to Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island, Thailand and other places after the first weekend to do some publicity.

The main creative team went to the box office city to do publicity, and Yin Jun was the first to take it out.

Now everyone has learned it, and the results are very good.

Under normal circumstances, the promotion of the box office is still relatively obvious, and it is also a publicity method to increase the popularity of stars.

Especially in several important box offices, their fans are used to seeing Xiangjiang stars often.

By the time I got back from these places, the box office data for the second week had already been released.

With the support of strong word-of-mouth, the box office of "Raid" not only did not fall in the second week, but also continued to increase overseas, reaching a crazy figure of 180 million Hong Kong dollars in one go!

Rao is Yin Jun knew that this fighting classic, which was pushed out thirty years in advance, would definitely cause a sensation, but he didn't expect that its box office would exceed 300 million in two weeks!

According to this, the box office of "Raid" in Asia may exceed 500 million!

Seeing such strong data, coupled with the fact that the style of "Raid" is very global, Lianyi Film has urgently come to negotiate with Golden Harvest and Kirin Films to discuss the purchase of European and American distribution rights.

Yes.

Although Lianyi Film Company also belongs to the Kirin Group, their operations are separated.

Unless Yin Jun arranges that it must be released globally, Lianyi Films only cares about their own performance.

As for the Kirin Movie, if you can cooperate, you can cooperate, and the conditions that should be discussed must also be clearly discussed.

This time, it is obvious that "The Raid" is a movie that will make a lot of money if it is done well, so United Arts Films does not accept a box office share, they are only willing to buy it out, and then run it themselves to release it.

In the face of this, not to mention the Kirin Film Company, it is Kirin, Golden Harvest and New Art City, all the Xiangjiang Film Companies together, there is no way to bargain with Lianyi Films.

People have decades of strong distribution network capabilities, and they are so strong.

Fortunately, because Lianyi Film Company is a subsidiary of the Kirin Group, it is not as harsh as before when facing the film company in Xiangjiang, and it does not take the price of cabbage to buy the film copyright.

Relatively speaking, the price given by United Arts Films is the highest among Hollywood companies.

If you sell the copyright to them, you will receive dollars, which is also a lot of profit.

For example, this time for "The Raid", the initial price of United Arts Film Company was $12 million, showing that they have excellent box office expectations.

Golden Harvest also has a lot of experience in cooperating with Hollywood, especially after the box office results came out in the second week, they are more confident, and the offer is $30 million.

The two sides are now engaged in intense negotiations, and it is estimated that a compromise of one figure will be a satisfactory outcome for all.

Thinking that the profit could increase by more than 100 million, Hong Jinbao couldn't help but smile so much that the folds on his face rose when he was interviewed.

Of course, he has not forgotten who is the biggest hero.

After arranging the company's affairs, he took Yuan Biao with him and set up a table at Fulinmen and invited Yin Jun to dinner to express his gratitude.

Yin Jun doesn't like to socialize, but Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao are actors he admires more, so he came over with a lot of face.

After meeting, Hong Jinbao held Yin Jun's hand and shook it for a while.

He didn't dare to give Yin Jun a warm hug now, after all, the difference in status was too great, although Yin Jun had never put his value on it, but people are valuable in knowing how to be interesting, and he has to know how to measure himself, right?

Yuan Biao also expressed his gratitude.

As soon as Yin Juncai sat down, Yuan Biao stood up, picked up a glass of two taels of liquor, and drank it directly.

"Jun Shao, thank you for cultivating me, I will work harder in the future, look at my performance!" Yuan Biao said with gratitude on his face when he lit the bottom of the wine glass.

He really deserves to be so grateful to Yin Jun.

Not everyone has the opportunity to appear in Yin Jun's movies repeatedly.

In the first "Loser", Yin Jun made Yuan Biao popular.

But Yuan Biao did not seize the opportunity, but was repeatedly surpassed by others.

Now Yin Jun has specially tailored a "Raid" for him, which can be said to have given him a second acting life.

It's tailor-made, and that's not bad at all.

"Raid" can not only highlight the characteristics of Yuan Biao's kung fu that is small, fast and smart, but also full of fights, no complex psychological activities, no complex emotional entanglements, which is just an opportunity for Yuan Biao to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Yuan Biao likes such a movie the most.

Therefore, even in the process of filming, Yuan Biao was injured many times, he was also interested in filming.

"Brother Biao, you're polite!" Yin Jun motioned for him to sit down, "You also have to have that talent in order to give full play to the best function of the movie." In the future, act and maintain a good state, so that you can have greater achievements. ”

"I understand. ”

Yuan Biao said solemnly.

In terms of character, Yuan Biao is much simpler than Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, there is nothing wrong with women at all, and he is a pretty good actor.

If he can take care of his body and not suffer so many injuries, Yin Jun's plan to build a superstar will be successful.

After the greetings, it was natural that after three rounds of drinking, and halfway through eating, Hong Jinbao saw that the atmosphere was harmonious enough, so he coughed lightly, "Jun Shao, you see that the current situation of "Raid" is so good, will we continue to shoot its sequel, or do you mention before, shoot another movie for Ah Biao?"

"Let's make a sequel!"

Yin Jun has already had a plan, "Shoot this year and release it next year." Then it's time to move on to the next movie. ”

The sequel production of movies in the 80s did not have such a long interval, unlike future movies, and sequels are usually considered normal every two or three years.

Because in the 80s, everyone had very little entertainment, and even if a sequel was made every year, people would not get bored.

After 2000, with the increasing development of the Internet and the diversification of various entertainments, people are very tired of repeating things.

Therefore, after a movie is popular, a second episode will be released after a little rest for two or three years, which will regain fans' enthusiasm for watching the movie and stimulate the potential of the box office.

Whether it is a Marvel hero movie, or a DC hero movie, or "Jurassic Park" or "Avatar", etc., these are all following the law of two or three years, and they have also achieved great success.

However, nowadays, even the number of movies produced by film companies is less than one-third of what it will be in the future, so the overall box office volume can naturally accommodate more movies, and it is reasonable that a large number of sequels will be filmed intensively.

Isn't Xiangjiang's "Gu X Zai" filmed 4 films in a year, and all 3 were released within a year?

Now Yin Jun is ready to let Yuan Biao make three movies in two years, which is not an exaggeration at all.

It was the first time Yuan Biao had heard it, and Yin Jun actually prepared other movies for him.

In his excitement, he almost asked directly what kind of new script it was.

But when the words came to his lips, Yuan Biao still stopped.

He wasn't a teenage hairy boy, so of course he couldn't have asked so rudely.

And the senior brother is still here, he asked so impatiently, what will the senior brother think?

Over the years, my brother has been very good to himself, and he can't forget himself.

Several of the scripts that he became famous for were all begged from Jun Shao with the help of his senior brother.

Thinking of these, Yuan Biao didn't hear it, and continued to eat vegetables, listening to the two of them by the way.

The second script of "Raid", Yin Jun has already given it to Hong Jinbao.

Compared with the smoothness of the first part, the second part of the original version is actually a bit chaotic in Yin Jun's opinion.

For example, the smart and cunning brother in the first part was actually restrained and buried alive as soon as he came up, and his personality became weak, and it was easy to admit it, which was very abrupt.

The group fight scene where the protagonist enters the prison is a bit confusing in terms of plot, although it looks exciting.

All in all, it doesn't look very good, and it's far less exciting and hearty than the first part.

So Yin Jun made a lot of changes, and by the way, he saved his brother and let them continue to fight side by side.

The storyline is arranged three years later, the elder brother who has changed his ways, does not touch those things, but he is targeted everywhere, and his subordinates have betrayed or been killed, and finally escaped in a hurry after being seriously injured.

The younger brother, who is a special police officer, immediately ran to save his brother after receiving the news.

Waiting for his brother to heal from his injuries, the two of them killed the lone owl's lair together, and the killing was full of blood and hearty.

In this way, although the plot still follows the path of a grudge drama, there are many places where it can be played in the fight.

Originally, the selling point of "Raid" was the fierce fights, and Yin Jun designed the plot this way to highlight the characteristics.

The success of "Raid" lies in the fighting, and since it has been successful, the characteristics of the second part can continue like this.

As long as the plot can be said above and not too inexplicable, then the audience will naturally be attracted by the wonderful fights inside, and the box office will still be very high.

The most important thing in Hong Kong is excellent martial arts instructors.

Even in 2020, there are many Xiangjiang people in Hollywood's martial arts instructors about action movies.

Not to mention that in the 80s and 90s, it was simply the pinnacle of Xiangjiang martial arts and kung fu films, and their magic weapon to compete with Hollywood, except for comedy films, is kung fu films.

Movies like "The Raid", that is, the brains of Xiangjiang filmmakers have not turned to this aspect.

Once given the opportunity, they can design action fights to be spectacular.

For example, the first part of "Raid", which is now being released, fully proves this.

With the experience of the first part, everyone worked together to make some breakthroughs, which is not a problem at all!
