Chapter 1318: Partners (Brother Rotsen's Double Alliance Reward!)
Hu Jinquan said well.
Recently, he just finished filming "No. 1 in the World", and the release effect was good.
Before the release of "No. 1 in the World", Hu Jinquan had already begun to contact American companies and prepare to shoot "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers".
This movie, which almost ran through Hu Jinquan's life for 15 years, although it was finally ready, even the actor was found - the famous Zhou Runfa came to star, Zhou Runfa saw the script, felt it was very challenging, thought about it, took the initiative to reduce his salary, and decided to participate.
Big stars, whether they are Eastern or Western, as long as they see a good literary film script, especially the kind of script with humanistic feelings, many people will take the initiative to reduce their value to star.
Big stars worth tens of millions of dollars, as long as 1 million or even 500,000 to star in literary films, Hollywood will still have a lot in 2020.
The decision of a star like Zhou Yunfa with acting skills and appeal to participate in the show is definitely a huge piece of good news.
But before the start of filming, in order to have the energy to shoot a better movie, Hu Jinquan went for surgery, but in the end, the operation failed and he passed away. Movies like "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" have profound national feelings, and they also condense the history of the fate of Chinese people in the United States in the past century.
Such a blockbuster must be the film that a great director like Hu Jinquan, who has all the honors, is most willing to challenge.
It's a pity that the script, money, actors, and other obstacles made him drag on for 15 years without success.
During this period, in order to make money, he also went to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu" led by Xu Ke, and then "New Dragon Gate Inn" actually participated in him, but in the end, due to physical reasons, he quit before filming started.
As long as Yin Jun is willing to agree and take out funds to help Hu Jinquan get "The History of Chinese Workers' Blood and Tears", then Hu Jinquan will definitely be willing to help Yin Jun shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
It is true that if Hu Jinquan takes over the filming of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", at best, it will be a director's salary of about 5 million.
And if Yin Jun wants to film "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" for him, he will have to invest at least tens of millions of US dollars, that is, almost 70 million Hong Kong dollars.
"The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" is basically impossible to return to its original capital, so the money is basically wasted.
In terms of economic benefits, even if the box office of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" reaches 200 million, Yin Jun is not considered to be profitable, and he can only work in vain.
However, this is not how the accounts are calculated.
A film company, or rather a person, needs to have some sense of social responsibility in addition to making money.
For a meaningful movie like "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers", even if Yin Jun doesn't need Hu Jinquan's help to make a movie, as long as Hu Jinquan comes to the door, Yin Jun will definitely pay for it.
Even the Kirin Cinema Line in Xiangjiang and the Kirin Cinema Line in the United States will actively support the release of this movie.
Losing money has to be done too.
This is the same as the reason why Yin Jun made so much money in the mainland, but he stupidly promised Xiao Lao not to transfer a penny within 10 years.
Hu Jinquan's side, Yin Jun was ready to let him shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but this was the only one.
In the later "Undefeated in the East", as well as "New Dragon Gate Inn", Yin Jun was not ready to let him shoot.
still has to be directed by Xu Kelai to have that taste.
Xu Ke, don't be called an "old monster", but his grasp of the audience's taste is definitely one of the best among Xiangjiang directors.
Even after 2012, when the director of Xiangjiang was almost wiped out in the mainland, Xu Ke's films could make a lot of money, and the reputation was not bad.
But now, Xu Ke's style has not yet been formed.
He still has to go through a few years of experience.
Otherwise, the failed "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is the best example.
Yin Jun pondered for a moment, and then broadcast a phone call.
……
At noon, in the box of Fulinmen, Yin Jun saw Xu Ke and Shi Lansheng.
This is the first time they have eaten alone since Jiashi's farewell.
The three of them sat down after a few greetings, and when the dishes were ready, Shi Lansheng remembered the previous ones, and he didn't feel emotional.
"Jun Shao, I thought you were definitely not in the pool, but I didn't expect you to soar into the sky so quickly. Shi Lansheng said, "In the entire Xiangjiang, who else can be more dazzling than you now? In another ten years, who in the world will be more brilliant than you?"
"Praise it, Sister Lan. Yin Jun hurriedly shook his hand, "It's just a coincidence, riding the wind." There are countless talented people and geniuses in the world, and I dare not say that I have defeated all the heroes in the world. ”
"I think she's right. Xu Ke, who spoke so dryly, also nodded at this time, "Because this is a fact, everyone is looking forward to watching Jun Shao go further!"
"Speaking of which, I have a lot of expectations. Yin Jun smiled, "I can't do it if I don't work hard." ”
"Work hard that's for sure, I'm just curious, Jun Shao, when will you reach the top of the world. Shi Lansheng pursed his lips and smiled, "When the time comes, don't forget our former friends." ”
"How can you forget your roots?" Yin Jun also smiled, "Come, let's eat first...... I'll give you a glass. ”
"You're so kind!"
The two were startled, and hurriedly held the cup in both hands, touched it with Yin Jun's drink cup, and drank it all.
They know that Yin Jun doesn't drink, but with such a high status, he can still take the initiative to toast, which is a kind of honor, and he can't help but give face.
The dishes of FLM are very finely cooked.
What's more, every time Yin Jun comes over, Brother De is in charge of the cooking, and the taste and mind are naturally not ordinary.
Oh, by the way, Brother De has now been promoted to one of the three chefs of FLM, specializing in cooking for dignitaries, and he is only in his twenties this year, which shows that there are geniuses in every industry.
After eating and drinking for a while, a few glasses of wine, Shi Lansheng's speech was not so restrained, "Jun Shao, did you come to us today just for a meal?"
Shi Lan was born as a woman, and she was an old man whom Yin Jun knew, so it didn't matter if she spoke vulgarly and straightforwardly.
She knew this, and she knew that Yin Jun's gentle personality would not care about this, so she dared to ask like this.
"Yes. ”
Yin Jun put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Ke and Shi Lansheng, "Old Xu, Sister Lan, are you interested in jumping out of the framework of New Art City and making movies by yourself?"
"Do it yourself?" Xu Ke said in surprise.
"Yes. Yin Jun said, "It's like a Madam Bear, setting up your own film studio and making your favorite movies." ”
Shi Lansheng's eyes moved, but he said very calmly, "Lao Xu is very valued in Xinyi City, there are two or three movies to be made every year, and he can earn more than three million a year, and there is no pressure." If he comes out, he will be responsible for everything, and the pressure is huge, you can imagine it! Jun Shao, not everyone is a genius like you!"
"As a director, it doesn't matter how many films you make a year. Yin Jun smiled, "The key is whether you can make the movie you want to make, and whether you can make a movie that can make people amazing." This is a very meaningful thing in life, right, Lao Xu?"
"Yes!"
Xu Ke ignored Shi Lansheng's eyes and replied naturally.
He was originally a person who did his own thing, and Yin Jun just said what he thought in his heart, so he agreed very much.
"The first film of McDonald Bear Studio, "The True Color of Heroes", this is the script that Jun Shao gave him, and then he opened the situation. Shi Lansheng smiled, "I heard that he can still ask Jun Shao for three scripts to use when he doesn't go well, right?"
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I promised Brother Xiong to help him when he was in trouble. Yin Jun said, "But Lao Xu is different, I have six scripts in my hand for him." ”
"Six!?"
Xu Ke, such an eccentric person, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Yes, six. Yin Jun laughed, "Lao Xu needs to finish filming these six scripts for me before he can really set up his own studio." ”
"I'm afraid this is not big, right?" Shi Lansheng immediately retorted, "If this is the case, it is equivalent to Jun Shao, you bring Lao Xu over to work for you for five or six years, and then when you run out, you will drive him away and let him fend for himself......"
Yin Jun smiled dumbly, "With the achievements made by these six books, is Lao Xu still afraid that he won't be able to find a good book in the future?" Also, with the experience of these six books, with Lao Xu's ability, he will definitely become a generation of directors, how can he not make movies well in the future?"
"If you have to say collaboration, it's definitely not going to work. Shi Lansheng behaved resolutely, "Unless Lao Xu opens his own film studio as soon as he comes out." Then it's okay to help you make a movie. But these six film studios must be invested in and counted as joint productions of both of us, so as to give us a little courage to work alone in the future. ”
"I didn't give my work to others, and then copyright was someone else's habit. Yin Jun shook his head.
"Okay, the copyright is still yours, but for the six movies shot by Lao Xu, we can have the right to invest in dividends, right?" Shi Lansheng took a step back.
"Absolutely. Yin Jun laughed.
Shi Lansheng smiled with satisfaction, she looked at Xu Ke, who was also a little excited, and then said, "In that case, let's go back and discuss it and reply to you as soon as possible." ”
"Okay. ”
Yin Jun nodded in a harmonious voice, "However, before that, I have a small condition. ”
"Jun Shao, you say. Shi Lansheng said very generously.
With the strength of the script given by Yin Jun, as long as it is filmed, it will definitely make money.
The difference is just that you are making tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Even if it earns the least, after six movies, it will be at least twenty or thirty million profit dividends.
In the past few years, the total box office of the six movies could not be two or three hundred million, but now the distribution channels of the Kirin Group are so big, it is not a problem for the box office to exceed 100 million!
With twenty or thirty million, plus the fame of these six movies, how bad can Xu Ke's studio be?
Yin Jun is right, working for others is always not as good as doing it yourself.
There was no chance before, but now Yin Jun has come to the door, I believe in Lao Xu's strength, so what is there to hesitate about?
"That's right. Yin Jun said, "I have a movie ready to shoot now, and the scheduled director is Mr. Hu Jinquan." I want to ask Lao Xu to be his assistant, is there a problem?"
"Director Hu Jinquan?" Xu Ke was surprised.
He admired Hu Jinquan very much in his heart, but few people knew this, not even Shi Lansheng.
Suddenly, Yin Jun mentioned the great director, and Xu Ke was excited and curious.
"A martial arts film. Yin Jun said, "It's just that Director Hu Jinquan is the main director, you can work together, okay?"
"Okay!"
Xu Ke immediately agreed.
It's definitely an honor to work with my idol.
