Chapter 1725: The Streets of Prague
Yin Jun chose to train John Hughes not only because of his current talent.
is also because Yin Jun has a movie in his hand and wants John Hughes to direct it.
It's Twilight.
This magic movie is not so much magical, but rather a love movie in a magical robe, and it is a youth movie.
"Twilight" tells the story of feelings are very pure, although there are also elements such as conspiracy and killing, but the most important thing is the youthful love.
Most of its box office is contributed by young people around the age of 18-30, and many people have gone to see it two or three times.
That's where John Hughes excelled.
It's like "Titanic", it is said to be a disaster movie and a special effects blockbuster, but if it weren't for the sincere love between Jack and Ruth, this film would be a movie above the standard at best, and it wouldn't become a unique classic.
The "Twilight" movie in the previous life, in terms of dealing with feelings, was obviously a little restrained, and did not express the delicate feelings in the book well at all.
This is also what has been criticized by many fans.
Yin Jun also felt that this was not very good.
So after discovering John Hughes last year, he decided to let the director direct "Twilight".
Although it will take a year or two before Twilight will be published, and there will be at least seven or eight years before the fermentation of books and the preparation of movies, sharpening the knife and cutting wood, sharpening John Hughes first, is definitely of great benefit to the filming of "Twilight".
Chris Columbus is also a director who specializes in youth comedy themes, but he is not as pure as John Hughes.
"Twilight" is such a pure love movie, and John Hughes can definitely play better than him.
However, if it is a movie like "Harry Potter", which is still childlike and reveals a strong dark atmosphere, John Hughes is not as good as Chris Columbus.
So it's called a short inch and a long ruler.
A good boss must follow the characteristics of its directors and let them play to their heart's content, so that they can make good movies.
If they are forced to make movies that don't fit their style, it can only be a lose-lose.
Not only did the movie fail at the box office, but also lost word of mouth!
Yin Jun would not do such a stupid thing.
After explaining John Hughes, and accompanying Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun for two more days, he took a well-prepared crew and a series of equipment, chartered a plane, and flew to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Such a flight made Yin Jun feel that he could buy one or two planes for the company's employee team in addition to private jets.
But on second thought, the teenager also gave up on the idea.
Maintaining an airplane is not an easy task.
In addition to the expensive aircraft maintenance costs, there are also crew costs, as well as flight fuel, route costs, airport take-off and landing costs, and so on.
And which branch should be used by the people, is it the United States, Hong Kong, or Australia?
It's so far away, and it's hard to coordinate it alone.
If you want absolute fairness, then a branch needs one.
In that case, it's a bit too much.
And the plane is not necessary to use all day and night, so it is better to rent one if it is useful, as it is now, and it can be changed at any time according to the size of the need, how convenient is it?
The Czech Republic, which flies from California to Europe, does not cross the Asian route between China and the Middle East, but flies to the Atlantic Ocean in reverse, and after crossing Britain, it can reach the European continent.
At that time, if it were not for the United States on the other side of the Atlantic, the sea traffic was extremely smooth, so that the United States continued to send all kinds of resources to Britain, and Britain did not know how many times it was destroyed by the head of state.
This is not the first time Yin Jun has come to Europe in this life, he was there the last time he went to the European Physics Center in Belgium to find Tim Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web.
Speaking of which, he and Sophie Marceau met here.
The Czech Republic, an Eastern European country, Yin Jun naturally has never been here, but thanks to the blessing of the developed network in later generations, Yin Jun has seen a lot of photos and videos of the Czech Republic and knows that this is a beautiful and picturesque country.
Legend has it that during the war, the Führer also ordered that tanks should not be allowed to enter Prague, in order to preserve the cultural monuments here.
I don't know if this legend is true or not, but the boy, accompanied by Carlsen, took a walk around Prague and really thought that this place was really picturesque.
Removed from the squalor and unbearable of ancient Europe, but if those buildings are left, the strong Eastern European style is really intoxicating.
Especially sitting on the street, ordering a cup of coffee or champagne, looking at all kinds of things that have been precipitated for hundreds of years, thinking about who sat in his place hundreds of years ago, and what was this person thinking at that time...... I think about it, and I have a lot of feelings.
Of course, there are many beautiful women in Prague, and even the xx culture is very deep.
Later, Daniel, the actor of "Harry Potter", came here to shoot the location of "Harry Potter", and his parents came to accompany him, for fear that the little guy would not know the proportions and become addicted to it too early.
The Czech Republic still has a conservative atmosphere and is far from being as open as it was later, but those beautiful women in bright and beautiful costumes still hang out in the streets and alleys from time to time.
Yin Jun has no interest in this kind of pleasure, although they are young and beautiful, but Yin Jun will not like anyone because of their beauty.
If Sophie Mar hadn't retained her innocence until middle age, the teenager wouldn't have made up his mind to eat her.
Although it is located in Europe, Czechoslovakia today is not much better than China.
The small size of the country and the lack of economic development make their country's GDP not high, and even the living standards of the people are not high.
The biggest dream of most Czechoslovakians is to go to Germany in the west to work, earn a lot of money and come back to build a house, marry a wife and have children, and live a comfortable life.
The old neighborhood where Yin Jun is located is a few hundred years old, and mottled traces can be seen everywhere, some landmark buildings, and even a bit of a dilapidated house, which is different from what Yin Jun saw in videos and photos in his previous life.
It must be that after they got rich, in order to create a tourist atmosphere, they renovated it to be so beautiful.
Or French cattle.
The old district of Paris is notoriously dirty and unrepaired, but people from all over the world want to come here like this, and it is very crowded all day long, and the security is not very good.
The same is true for the future of China, the more old the place, the more interested foreigners will be.
On the contrary, it is the Taikoo Li, CBD, commercial plaza and other places that Chinese people themselves are willing to go to, and foreigners do not like it very much.
Locals rarely visit the old neighborhoods, and they also like the more prosperous new districts.
The people who come here, in addition to the residents of the neighborhood, are usually tourists.
As a country in the big brother camp, Czechoslovakia is not too big, and the control is insufficient, plus the big brother has not been able to live well these years, and his life is almost unbearable, and of course his influence is getting weaker and weaker.
Therefore, for the sake of its own interests, the Czech Republic has issued tourist visas, and Prague has welcomed more and more foreign tourists.
However, European and American tourists in this era still have some scruples about these places and are worried about safety, so most of the people who come here are people from neighboring countries.
The Czech Republic is surrounded by Germany to the west, Poland to the top, and Austria to the bottom, and the geographical location is still quite good, so the tourism industry cannot be said to be thriving, at least now it is better than other countries in the big brother camp.
Yin Jun's group of people looked different from other tourists.
First of all, most of these people are Orientals, and only a few people look like Europe and America.
There are very few Orientals living in Czechoslovakia, and Japanese and Korean tourists only like Western Europe and the United States, and have little interest in this area.
The sudden appearance of so many Orientals naturally attracted the attention of too many people.
Then, most of the Orientals are in straight suits, and all of them are black suits and white shirts, and fools can tell that they are bodyguards.
And it is obvious that the people at the middle table are surrounded, and there is only an Oriental teenager and a middle-aged man from Europe and the United States sitting on the table, so their identities are the most important.
If people stand not far away and look at it, they will find that the middle-aged man is full of stammering and respectful to the Dongfang boy, so it is obvious that the Dongfang boy is the leader of this line.
For Western Europeans or Americans to be respectful to Orientals, they must have a prominent enough status.
So some people are speculating whether this Oriental boy is a nobleman from an ancient Eastern country - no way, they don't know that there is no longer the word aristocracy in the Oriental society.
In many cases, breaking the impasse requires some clever elements.
If it is specific to the negotiation table, maybe it is a small joke that can shorten the distance between each other.
At the dinner table, a beautiful woman kills a bottle of beer without saying a word, which can naturally make the atmosphere lively.
And on this occasion, many people are eager to get in touch with this young man from the East to see if there are any opportunities and get some benefits.
can see so many bodyguards and other people sitting next to him, and that café is very backgrounded, so everyone naturally dare not move.
In this case, there are still people who attack.
Yin Jun was chatting with Carlsen and listening to him talk about the customs of the Czech Republic.
Because Poland is a neighboring country, everyone is of the same ethnic group, so many things in the Czech Republic are similar to Poland.
The most important thing is that it did not go through the baptism of the two world wars, and the overall culture has been maintained very well, which has always been appreciated by many literati.
This is also the reason why the author Schippelmann feels that the suburbs of the Czech capital are still more suitable for filming than the places in his own country.
