Chapter 1096: You Expect Too Much from It, Don't You?
During the meal, Wen Bixia remembered to tell Yin Jun another thing.
"Brother Jun, I watched the "Shaolin Temple" that we invested and sponsored! The day before I came back, it was released in the mainland...... That's a lively scene! The movie theaters in Huajing are full of people! If there were no midnight shows, the midnight shows would have been crowded!"
Yin Jun smiled and bowed his head, "How was the shooting?"
"This!"
Wen Bixia raised her free hand and gave a thumbs up, "Although the plot is a bit ordinary, it's so handsome! Li Lianjie is really good-looking! The Xiangjiang kung fu movie actors on our side, including Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Di Long, and Jiang Dawei...... None of them are Li Lianjie's opponents at all!"
There is no doubt that "good-looking" is such a word that transcends the times, and this is what Ayu learned when he lived in a rental house with Yin Jun a few years ago.
Shaking his head, Yin Jun said: "Li Lianjie's kung fu is indeed good, but it is not as good as Li Xiaolong's." And playing well and playing effectively, the two are not the same, and it can't be said who is better, Cheng Long is no worse than Li Lianjie. ”
In his previous life, Li Lianjie was known as the "Emperor of Kung Fu", and most of the reason is that in his movies, gorgeous and dazzling kung fu occupies the most conspicuous position.
But you can't say that Li Lianjie is better than Cheng Long, especially in box office performance.
Cheng Long has starred in several movies alone, all of which have been successful in Hollywood, while Li Lianjie's several movies in Hollywood are a bit miserable, that is, they are better than Zhou Yanfa.
Cheng Long's success is all over the world, because his kung fu is a fusion of a series of modern factors such as funny, fighting, and funny, which is the most suitable for the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans.
So in the end, he is the one who represents Huaguo Kung Fu, before him is Li Xiaolong, and after him, I don't know if there will be another one.
Wu Jing is an exception, before he has formed a strong brand effect that has been the same for decades, he is not as good as Cheng Long.
Li Lianjie was in Xiangjiang in his previous life, but he was not so successful.
His highest box office in Xiangjiang is only about 30 million, which are "Fang Shiyu" in 93 and "Huang Feihong: The Lion of the Western Regions" in 97, of which he was the most beautiful in 93, and he alone occupied three of the top ten movies at the box office - "Huang Feihong: The Lion King", "Fang Shiyu" and "Fang Shiyu Sequel"
But that's about it.
On the top, he did not break through the limit of 50 million in "God of Gamblers 2", "Red Fan District", and "Police Investigation Story 4", and downward, he did not break the top five box office in 1992 were all the glory of Zhou Xingchi's movies.
But why is Li Lianjie a superstar? Why is he the only superstar who can be compared to Double Monday?
The reason is that his films, although they are not top-notch in Xiangjiang, are far superior to others in the whole of Asia, and they belong to the kind of super hits!
Among them, there are reasons for the solid foundation laid down by the "Shaolin Temple" trilogy, and there are also reasons why Li Lianjie's kung fu movies are in line with the aesthetics formed by Asian people for thousands of years and the standards of "chivalry" they pursue.
Li Lianjie's films, regardless of whether they are the "Huang Feihong" series, or the "Fang Shiyu" series, etc., are basically ranked first with Cheng Long at the box office in other cities, and sometimes surpass Cheng Long.
Even around the world, there are many foreign fans who like this mouthful, so Li Lianjie's films have spread very widely.
On "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", why can Li Lianjie get a salary of 100 million yuan in one go?
Of course, it is because of Li Lianjie's painstaking management over the years, he has a lot of fans abroad, and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has sold 50 million US dollars at the box office in foreign cities alone, and it has not been released in China, which has begun to make a profit.
With the support of such a strong box office appeal in other cities, Li Lianjie can certainly leap to become a superstar.
Now, Li Lianjie has just started, "Shaolin Temple" is just the first step of his glorious starting point, and Yin Jun is not very excited at all.
In this life, Yin Jun still has a bigger plan to build a kung fu emperor, although the purpose is to make Chinese kung fu movies popular all over the world, but Li Lianjie will benefit from it.
Wen Bixia was very convinced of Yin Jun, but seeing that Yin Jun had greater expectations for Cheng Long, it was very strange, "Brother Jun, Cheng Long is not our person, and Li Lianjie's side, I heard Uncle Wei say that we are trying our best to fight for him, and he is already very close to signing our Kirin Movie." Why are you still so good to Cheng Long? A movie like "Red Fan Zone", even if you don't give it to Li Lianjie, how good are you to Brother Fa?"
"If Chinese films want to develop, how can I rely on my strength alone?" Yin Jun scratched her little Qiong's nose, "Golden Harvest is very good, they are willing to make movies seriously, so I naturally want to support them." Cheng Long is even better, he is serious and dedicated, and he is willing to work hard, such people don't help him, so who will he help?"
"Hehe, Brother Jun, you are really selfless, everyone outside says that you covet their sky-high script fees, and I really salivate on their faces. Wen Bixia said, "We make these movies ourselves, and we make more money! These idiot reporters know how to sow discord and fan the flames!"
"It doesn't matter what others say, it's what we do. Yin Jun remembered a later sentence and said in passing: "When you walk by the side of the road, a dog barks at you, and when you walk past, the dog can only look at your back and bark." ”
"Hee-hee~~"
Wen Bixia smiled, and the food in her mouth squirted out.
Aunt Zhang, who was watching the two of them eating, patted her daughter's jade back when she saw this, "You be careful for me, such a big person, it's embarrassing to choke on eating!"
"Mom, I'm fine, you can eat too, eat more!" Wen Bixia hugged Aunt Zhang's arm, "It's still my mother's best cooking!
I have to say that Wen Bixia's fart is very effective, and after Aunt Zhang pinched her face, she couldn't help laughing happily.
In recent years, not only Wen Bixia has changed a lot, but so has Aunt Zhang, especially after her alcoholic husband was sentenced, she has no worries, and she has gained more than a dozen pounds.
In addition, Wen Bixia earns a lot of money, which is given to her mother, and she can also subsidize other children and raise children who are still studying.
When you have a rich life, you will naturally feel happy again.
Now the house she lives in is an apartment under Tiu Keng Ling, Wen Bixia's salary came to buy it, and Xiao Nizi also found a relationship, more than 800 square feet, and only bought more than 600,000 yuan more than a year ago, which is definitely worth it.
The third sister and others who are not married and are still in school all live with Aunt Zhang, but Wen Bixia has prepared a small apartment for her nearby because she is going to film, and the company has prepared a small apartment for her nearby, so she will come back less.
When Wen Bixia went to Huajing this time, she took Aunt Zhang with her, and when she was in class, Aunt Zhang was led by relatives of the Wei family to take a look around.
But no matter how good Huajing is, it is not her own home, and Aunt Zhang still has so many children at home, so she came back early in November.
"Ah Jun, you also eat more, you are a young man, don't just grow tall. Aunt Zhang was also greeting Yin Jun.
"Okay, I know. Yin Jun and Aunt Zhang were not so polite, and ate them in large gulps.
It's also strange to say, the food cooked by Aunt Zhang is average at best, but I don't know if it's because when she was squeezing into the share house, she felt fragrant about everything she ate, but Yin Jun felt very delicious when she ate it now.
After eating, Yin Jun chatted with the two mothers and daughters for a while, and saw that the third sister and they were all going home one after another, so he said goodbye and left.
He didn't go home directly, but went to the headquarters of Kirin Films.
The headquarters of the Kirin Film Company is now in the Kirin Industrial Park, although it is not next to the factories, but Yu Zheng has told Yin Jun many times that the film company needs a separate area so that it can have a good façade.
Otherwise, when others come to see that you are actually working with the factory, it will really damage the prestige of the Kirin movie.
Yin Jun felt that Yu Zheng was right.
But Kirin Film Company will include many aspects in the future, so it is not good if the site is small, and if the site is too large, it is still a little difficult to use the current real estate market in Xiangjiang.
So he can only let Yu Zheng be wronged for a year or two first, and then talk about it later.
Although it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, Yu Zheng did not go home as usual, but stayed in the office to work.
The boss likes such subordinates the most.
How can subordinates who volunteer to work overtime and take care of things in an orderly manner not sit in a higher position?
When she saw Yin Jun coming, she was not surprised, so she chatted with Yin Jun about "Shaolin Temple" released in the mainland yesterday.
"According to the data we have, the attendance of Shaolin Temple is very high in several major cities. Especially in our neighboring eastern Guangdong Province, Yuezhou, Tuoshan, Zhuhai and other cities, people queuing up to buy tickets are lined up from morning to night. Yu Zheng said, "Referring to the momentum of previous mainland films, I am afraid that this movie can have a box office of tens of millions of yuan." That is to say, the ticket price of a mainland movie is 5 cents and 1 cent, and if it is exchanged for Hong Kong dollars, it will have to be billions!"
More than that!
"Shaolin Temple" has a box office of more than 160 million yuan in the mainland, and when converted into Hong Kong dollars, how much does it cost? tens of billions!!
"The box office in the mainland has nothing to do with us, what we care about is the box office in Asia. Thinking about it, Yin Jun said, "Have you arranged the joint release?"
"Well, it's generally fine, except that there's no way to get in to the treasure island. In addition, the copy was sent over the day before yesterday, and I have already urgently obtained the copy to make it. Yu Zheng asked Yin Jun curiously: "You are really so optimistic about "Shaolin Temple", so it is worth investing 50 million Hong Kong dollars in publicity?
"Advertising is nothing, and 3,000 copies are just Asia. Yin Jun said with a smile, "When the reputation and trend rise, we will release it to Europe and the United States in the second half of the year, and I believe there will be good harvests." ”
Yu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask again.
Yin Jun has already shown everyone how good his vision is, not to mention the news that Yu Zheng got in the mainland, "Shaolin Temple" is indeed very popular, and it is not impossible to try it in all of Asia.
It's just that the Kirin movie takes a little more thought.
Anyway, theaters all over Asia now have cooperative relations with Kirin Films, and it is not difficult to sign a sharing contract.
What was slightly more difficult was that Yin Jun asked all of Asia to start painting at the same time, so he prepared 3,000 copies.
The only one who enjoyed this treatment before was "Speed of Life and Death".
Could it be that in Yin Jun's heart, "Shaolin Temple" can be compared with "Speed of Life and Death"?
Thinking of this, Yu Zheng shook his head and smiled again, how is this possible?
How can an ancient martial arts film be compared to such a cool "Speed of Life and Death"?
It's just that the boss is from the mainland and has a lot of feelings for the mainland, so he made this irrational decision!
