Chapter 1721: Preparation
Yin Jun is actually a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person.
Although he didn't go to meet these book lovers, he quietly asked Kant Henry to bring 100 copies, and after he signed it, he asked Henry to take a detour and arrive at the door of the community from the street outside.
"Mr. Jun doesn't live here, but he's heard about everyone's enthusiasm, and he'll take your opinions into account. …… As a token of his appreciation, he asked me to bring 100 autographed books, including Game of Thrones, Jurassic Park, and Covered Bridge Dreams...... We will draw a lottery for everyone, please line up and ......"
All right.
Americans are very simple.
As soon as they heard that Yin Jun cared about their thoughts and was going to give them books, they immediately became happy, and the way they applauded really made people think that their protest was successful.
After distributing the book, Kant Henry made a detour back to Deng Lijun's estate.
After five years of cooperation with Yin Jun, Henry Publishing has become the largest publishing house on the West Coast, second only to the two century-old stores on the East Coast.
It's not just Yin Jun's publication in Henry Press, because of his great fame, many authors now regard Henry Publishing as the first choice for submission, plus Kant-Henry's eyesight is really good, so in addition to some bestsellers over the years.
But then again, if it weren't for Yin Jun's best-selling masterpieces, Henry Publishing would certainly not have the scenery it has today, and it would not have attracted authors to contribute.
Kant Henry is of course a smart person, so in recent years, he has not only given the most preferential publishing conditions to Yin Jun, but also used personal friendship to get along with Yin Jun, and never forced him to live in seclusion.
will definitely not force Yin Jun to do anything, because not long after the two cooperated, Yin Jun bought United Arts Pictures and Disney, became a Hollywood tycoon, and continued to win all the way, and now he is the richest man in the world!
Kant Henry knew that in fact, in this world, many secret families still had more wealth than Yin Jun.
But most of those are family wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, and do not belong to one person.
Even the oil tycoons in the Middle East – the common property of the royal family.
And Yin Jun's wealth is only his own, and it was created within 7 years, which is really a great achievement.
Kant-Henry felt that within 5 years, through unremitting efforts, he had a fortune of 500 million US dollars, which was already a successful legend, but compared to Yin Jun, he really couldn't even see Yin Jun's shadow.
So in the past two years, he has become more and more respectful to Yin Jun, and he doesn't even dare to urge the draft.
Not to mention that Yin Jun is publishing every year, even if Yin Jun publishes one book in three or five years, it is still the top one among American writers, and there is no one.
Even Stephen King, the original author of "The Shawshank Redemption", has to admit that Yin Jun has surpassed him a lot, and it is not a level at all.
Moreover, every year, Yin Jun's previous publications are constantly being reprinted.
Jurassic Park has been reprinted 33 times, and recently another 1 million copies have to be printed to meet market demand.
Kant Henry also knew that if the movie "Jurassic Park" came out, at least 10 million copies would have to be printed, which might not be enough.
Books are adapted into movies, and a lot of people mess up.
But Kant Henry believes that Yin Jun is definitely not one of them.
Not only because Yin Jun has been nominated for the Oscar twice and is an out-and-out director, but also because Kant Henry feels that there is nothing that Yin Jun can't do well in this world.
Today, Yin Jun asked him to come over, and it just so happened that he also had something to discuss.
"Jun Shao. Shouting this Chinese title he learned from Liang Fengyi, Kant Henry said, "Are you going to shoot "The Pianist" recently?"
"yes, what's wrong?" Yin Jun asked casually.
The book "The Pianist" was introduced by Yin Jun to Kant-Henry, who personally went to Poland for this purpose, negotiated cooperation as quickly as possible, and then published the book.
Because the front page of "The Pianist" has the words "Mr. Jun's grand recommendation", it has been a very popular seller from the beginning, ranking in the top 30 in the first week, and finally reaching the top 5 in the end.
And the news that Oscar-level director Yin Jun is about to shoot "The Pianist" spread out, and the book "The Pianist" once again ushered in a best-seller, and also squeezed Yin Jun's "Dream of the Covered Bridge" for two weeks, ranking third.
The more books you sell, the more you can naturally make a lot of profit.
In just a few months, "The Pianist" brought the original author a royalty share that he could not enjoy for a lifetime.
This is also the reason why he will happily agree to Yin Jun's adaptation of "The Pianist" and make it into a movie.
"The Pianist is someone else's book, why haven't you thought of making your own book?" said Kant Henry, "We have so many loyal book lovers, and with them alone, our film adaptation can have a box office of two or three hundred million!"
"Book lovers don't necessarily convert into movie fans, and they don't necessarily contribute movie tickets. Yin Jun said suddenly, "And didn't I say it? The time for "Jurassic Park" has not yet come. ”
Kant Henry shook his hand again and again, "No, I'm not talking about "Jurassic Park", but "The Dream of the Covered Bridge". ”
Yin Jun was slightly stunned, ""The Dream of the Covered Bridge"?"
"yes!"
Kant Henry said, "Many people have told me about this, and many of them are still the wives of big people. I really don't know why they are so expectant and positive. ”
Yin Jun smiled, "Then shouldn't I be happy, and the book I wrote can make people like it so much?"
"You should be proud!" said Kant Henry, in a serious manner.
It only took Yin Jun less than a month to write "The Dream of the Covered Bridge", which was passed on by Kant Henry.
So this became a proof that Yin Jun was a genius, and Kant Henry knew that this was a true thing, and it was definitely not a kind of flattery, so he admired Yin Jun so much.
Yes.
Adore!
It is not uncommon for a person in the publishing industry to meet a genius writer, but a genius like Yin Jun will definitely come out in a hundred years.
Anyone who engages in this profession does not worship Yin Jun.
"Dream of the Covered Bridge!"
Yin Jun began to groan.
The "Dream of the Covered Bridge" in the previous life was Clint?? Eastwood and Meryl?? Starring Streep.
Among them, the old cowboy Eastwood is also the director.
It stands to reason that these two are both super-famous actors, and "Dream of the Covered Bridge" is indeed a work that has touched many Americans, so it should be able to win the Oscars.
But the strange thing is that such an excellent film adaptation that caused a sensation ended up with nothing.
Not only the Oscars, but also the Golden Globe Awards and other awards, they didn't win any of them.
One of the biggest achievements is that Aunt Mei was nominated for the Oscar again, but she was just a companion.
So in Yin Jun's subconscious, he ignored "The Dream of the Covered Bridge".
Of course, filming a movie must be filmed, but Yin Jun will definitely not come by himself, he thinks the original team is good.
Eastwood, whether it is directing or acting, is first-class outstanding, and Yin Jun is quite relieved to hand over the crew to him.
But now that Kant Henry said it, Yin Jun was a little hesitant.
Anyway, "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" is also Yin Jun's work, if you can shoot it yourself, why don't you give it a try?
But after thinking about it, Yin Jun still decided not to rush for the time being.
If Yin Jun's expectations are good, this year's Oscars, those old men can be considered enough, as long as "The Pianist" is above the level, and with strong public relations and publicity, the chance of winning the Oscar for Best Director is very big.
won the Oscar, and at most made "Forrest Gump", making Tom Hanks an unprecedented actor three times in a row, Yin Jun will turn to the production of commercial films.
A good director can't step into the mainstream without a deep commercial film as a foundation.
For example, a weird genius like Tim Burton has to rely on commercial movies such as "Alice in Wonderland" to pull a lot of budget for himself!
The negative example is the Coen brothers, who have a unique style of their own, even if they are admired, they have not been able to accept the majority of fans because they do not have enough weight commercial films.
"Let them wait!"
After groaning, Yin Jun said to Kant Henry, "I'm not ready now, and I'm trying to start filming within 5 years." ”
"Five years?" Kant-Henry smiled bitterly, but did not persuade again.
After all, for a director like Yin Jun, people have their own plans, how can they change their minds because of the strong demands of a group of people?
Otherwise, the fan base of "A Song of Ice and Fire" or "Jurassic Park" is even larger, and Yin Jun should give priority to these books if he is asked to shoot.
"By the way, Kant, you have to do me a favor in the past six months. Yin Jun turned to say again.
"Say it!" said Kant Henry, without hesitation.
"You pushed the topic of 'The Pianist' again as much as you could. Whether it's asking book critics to comment, or asking people to discuss, or inviting the author to the United States to communicate with you, you can do it. Yin Jun said, "I want to let "The Pianist" enter the eyes of more people in the next six months." ”
"Good!"
Kant Henry nodded in agreement.
He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Yin Jun is building momentum for the movie "The Pianist".
To be precise, it is to let more people understand the history represented by "The Pianist", so that the group of old antiques in the film school can recall the past again, so that they will have a good impression of "The Pianist" psychologically.
In order to win the award, Jun Shao is really hard enough!
