Chapter 1351 - Hollywood Raiders for the New Year
Yin Jun's thoughts flickered.
Tang Shuxuan had already started to get down to business, "Ah Jun, the people in the company have been a little impatient recently, and they can even be said to be a little worried. They think you're treating James Cameron too well, and the script is given one after the other. The executives of both companies hope that you can continue to write good scripts for the company, so that they can actively develop and make good movies. ”
This passage is also the main reason why Tang Shuxuan specially invited Yin Jun over today.
Unknowingly, Yin Jun has been acquiring United Arts Films and Disney for two years.
There must be a reason why the senior management of the two companies has changed from despair and loss at the beginning to full of enthusiasm now, hoping to develop the company better.
The reason for this is Yin Jun.
At first, everyone didn't believe that if Yin Jun could play in Asia, he could play in the United States.
But the facts let them know that a genius is a genius, and it will not become bad because of the difference in the place.
Whether it is "American Idol", "Happy Hotel", "Beach Rescue", "X-Files" and other TV entertainment programs, or "Beverly Hills Detective", "Terminator", "First Blood", "Chainsaw", "The Lion King", "The Shawshank Redemption" and other classic movies on the movie, it has been confirmed to people that as long as Yin Jun is there, it is definitely only a matter of time before Kirin Group becomes the first in Hollywood.
Now that they don't have Yin Jun's script, they are a little unsure.
So they pestered Tang Shuxuan many times in a row, and then they said that they would move the president and go to the big boss to ask for a few notebooks for the next few years.
As long as they have Yin Jun's script in their hands, their hearts will be completely settled and they will honestly develop the company.
"Needless to say, I'll give the script too. ”
Yin Jun didn't shirk when he heard this, this is his own company, and the employees below are motivated, which is a good thing.
He said to Tang Shuxuan, "What's more, we have just launched a few superstars, producers and directors now, and it is time for them to make efforts, so we can't let them be lazy." ”
Tang Shuxuan smiled clearly.
Superstars, of course, refer to Schwarzenegger and Stallone.
Through "The Terminator" and "First Blood", these two have been hailed as two of Hollywood's super-tough superstars for the next two decades.
Now I don't know how many film companies invite the two to join, of course they are also very excited, make money, who doesn't want to?
But because they have signed a contract with Kirin Culture for 20 years and ten films, and this is a priority contract, so at the beginning of this new year, they are waiting for the reply from the Kirin Group.
If there are no plans this year, Schwarzenegger and Stallone will go to pick up films from other studios.
With their current status, at least the salary of a movie starts at $5 million.
But the two apparently prefer to shoot Yin Jun's script.
Because they feel that they still have more room for growth, instead of coveting a high salary now, it is better to experience a few more years, rely on Yin Jun's script, and make money after building themselves into a unique superstar, but it is not 5 million that can be sent, at least 10 million or even 20 million US dollars!
If you are famous, you will be beneficial.
Two superstars with little culture, but they also understand this.
Otherwise, it's almost March now, what are they still waiting for Yin Jun to do with the script?
changed to someone else who had no pursuit, and he had already started to desperately take on movies.
Make a movie in two or three months, at least three a year, plus other advertising endorsements and other income, at least an annual income of about 20 million, what a considerable amount of money!
As for the producers, it's Bruckheimer.
Bruckheimer produced the first and second parts of "Beverly Hills" in a row, which was deeply acclaimed.
He himself has also produced two movies in the past year, although the box office performance is not as good as "Beverly Hills Detective", but each of them can earn more than 10 million dollars in net profits for the company, which is obviously rare.
Of course, these two films are not in the contract of "6 films in 5 years" that are being signed, but Bruckheimer likes the atmosphere of the Kirin Group very much, so after the company applied for funding, he went all out to produce, and then the production and distribution were handed over to Lianyi Films, and the cooperative relationship was very close.
United Arts Film Company also knows that Yin Jun has cultivated Bruckheimer as a future gold medal producer, so it also attaches great importance to him, especially when he makes money in every film.
With such an excellent producer, if you don't give him a big production with challenging difficulty, it will be a waste of his talent.
As for the director, naturally he also refers to James Cameron.
Although many people think that James Cameron is not so good, Tang Shuxuan is definitely not included among these people.
Because Tang Shuxuan believes in Yin Jun.
As long as it is the person Yin Jun likes, there is nothing bad.
What's more, Yin Jun personally told Tang Shuxuan that James Cameron in the future will become a super director, comparable to Spielberg.
Tang Shuxuan was shocked when he heard it.
What is the concept of Spielberg?
Definitely one of the top five film directors in the world!
Which of these great directors is not regarded as a treasure?
If it is firmly bound to the Kirin Group, how much reputation and glory will this bring to the Kirin Group?
It is precisely because of this that when James Cameron asked to make his own experimental film, even if the production cost was increased from 10 million to 15 million US dollars, Tang Shuxuan did not hesitate to approve it.
Then the box office is not good now, and Cameron is still a little embarrassed, but Tang Shuxuan went to tell him to keep filming, as long as you want to do it.
For the sake of a new Spielberg, it doesn't matter how much it loses!
Tang Shuxuan's attitude was indeed grateful to Cameron, so he started filming again in such a hurry, just to let the company make money and wash away his failure and humiliation.
Tang Shuxuan understood the above people very thoroughly.
However, she ignored Tom Hanks, whom Yin Jun paid more attention to.
For Tom Hanks, Yin Jun just said that he is an excellent actor seedling, and did not say that he will be one of the greatest movie stars in the history of Hollywood acting.
After the curtain call of a group of golden generation superstars such as Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Dasto Hoffman, this one is the one who can best support the banner of Mesozoic actors.
Like other acting superstars, Tom Hanks is not only talented, but also very good at learning and figuring out, and is definitely experiential.
Let's just say that in order to play the role of Forrest Gump well, he went to the mentally handicapped group to eat and live together for half a year, so that he could play vividly.
And Tom Hanks is very tolerant of loneliness.
After Yin Jun signed him, more than a year has passed, and Lianyi Film Company has let him star in 5 movies, all of which are small roles, when he didn't complain at all, but played every role seriously.
In the last two movies, the director was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to add scenes to him to praise his seriousness and hard work.
The teenager will definitely not let Tom Hanks go from a supporting role to a leading role all at once, especially a protagonist like Forrest Gump, who pins his hopes on Yin Jun's Oscar for Best Director.
Therefore, Yin Jun specially prepared a classic for Tom Hanks in 1983.
A super classic that can be arguably ranked in the top 10 in Hollywood history.
Not only Tom Hanks, but the teenager also found him the most suitable partner, which can be regarded as introducing another superstar for the Kirin Group.
A superstar with a wicked and glamorous charm.
The superstar, who was still in his youth, has now come to Hollywood, and it is just the time for Yin Jun to recruit him.
Come back to the present.
While speaking, Yin Jun took out a thick stack of scripts from his briefcase and handed it to Tang Shuxuan.
Tang Shuxuan took the script with a smile on his face, "I finally understand how it felt like Liang Shuyi, Qiu Degen, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun to get your script." This is called being steady!"
After weighing the script, Tang Shuxuan was a little surprised, "It looks a bit much! How many scripts are you doing here?"
"Six, three for one company. Yin Jun said, "In addition to these, there is also Spielberg's "Back to the Future" for Disney. And then I'm going to direct a film myself this year, even if it's at United Arts Films. Counting it in this way, plus the sequel series of those movies from the previous two years, their basic pattern should be there. ”
"Not bad, not bad. ”
Tang Shuxuan smiled dumbly, "Ah Jun, tell me honestly, do you feel a little unhappy that you can't win the Oscar for Best Director, so you're going to make another classic to shock them?"
"Are classics so easy to get? If I could produce a classic, I would have smashed it out a long time ago, and asked those old men to give me the award at once. Yin Jun shrugged and said, before the movie comes out, the necessary humility still needs to be there.
"It's hard for me to say about others, but if you shoot it, it will definitely be a classic. Tang Shuxuan said, "As long as you want to, then you can shoot classics." ”
When he said this, Tang Shuxuan's face was full of piety.
As long as you are a person in this industry, you have never doubted Yin Jun's screenwriting ability.
The closer you get to Yin Jun, the more you will worship Yin Jun's genius ability, and there is nothing more exciting than watching Yin Jun create miracles in front of you.
Tang Shuxuan is one of them.
If you want to say that Yin Jun's script that is in line with the concept of Asian movie-watching is very successful, then that's it.
But Yin Jun came to the United States and wrote books and scripts, all of which can meet the preferences of European and American people, which is absolutely something that only a genius can do.
"Thank you for your good words. Yin Jun could only smile modestly, "I can guarantee that this story is good, but it is not so boring." ”
"Speaking of which, you have made three movies now, except for the first "Speed of Life and Death", the other two are literary films. Tang Shuxuan asked, "Look at your appearance, the fourth movie is still a literary film, right? Aren't you ready to make efforts in business? You are the boss of the company, you need to make money, right?"
Yin Jun smiled, "Who said that literary films can't make money? I make money, right? Those who have to say that art can't make money are just stupid, they don't know what real art is...... Didn't our ancestors say it a long time ago? Appreciating both elegance and vulgarity is the highest realm! Only art that can be understood by the common people is true art. ”
"Yes!"
Tang Shuxuan couldn't help but clapped his hands, "Ah Jun, I completely agree with your concept! No wonder you can succeed, just with this idea, you should be a film master, a real film master!!"
