The movie "Rain Man" is actually a bit similar to "Forrest Gump".

It's all about the disadvantaged groups.

One is autism and the other is born with an intellectual disability.

Originally, Warner Bros. had the opportunity to produce and distribute "Forrest Gump", but they just thought that the two movies were too similar and felt that they could

But there's a lot of difference.

"Rain Man" is about family affection, while "Forrest Gump" tells the subject of more noble, and to a certain extent, it represents the American outlook on life.

For Americans, family is very important, but this kind of outlook on life is even more important.

Therefore, even if "Rain Man" won the Oscar not long after, "Forrest Gump" came out, and it couldn't stop "Forrest Gump" from winning the grand slam, and even killed the almost super classic "The Shawshank Redemption".

Yin Jun wanted to win the award before, but he didn't have a pipe dream.

"Rain Man" appeared before "Forrest Gump", which is a plus.

If the two movies were reversed, then "Rain Man" might not be so good.

The significance of the appearance of "Forrest Gump" is that all subsequent films of this type are catching up with it and have never surpassed it.

Yin Jun doesn't believe that there will be any excellent films next year that can suppress his second year.

Even if it's really because of prejudice and qualifications, then in the third year, when "Forrest Gump" comes out, it should blossom and bear fruit.

The only thing that makes Yin Jun feel unstable now is that Tom Hanks starred in "Rain Man" and "Forrest Gump" so many years in advance, can he find the taste of their two movies?

There is a big difference between actors in their twenties and actors in their thirties in terms of acting skills.

Tom Hanks, who is in his thirties, is definitely an invincible actor in Hollywood, and no actor in the same period dares to say that he can be better than Tom Hanks.

But Yin Jun really can't find another more suitable actor, and he won't allow another person to play Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump can only be played by Tom Hanks, otherwise it will be a huge pity.

Therefore, "Rain Man" is Yin Jun's touchstone for Tom Hanks.

If Tom Hanks can play "Rain Man" well, then "Forrest Gump" can be filmed on time next year.

If not, Yin Jun would rather wait another two years until Tom Hanks has honed well enough to handle the role of Forrest Gump before letting him play.

Compared with two such literary films, in terms of the operation of commercial films, Yin Jun seems to be much more comfortable.

At noon the next day, Yin Jun asked another person to have lunch, and they talked about commercial production.

He is the most famous producer in the last two years, Bruckheimer.

Bruckheimer is certainly not much of a gold medal producer right now.

The success of one or two years, the success of three or five films, such an achievement, has not gone through too many tests.

The so-called gold medal producer should be qualified to be called a gold medal after at least ten films and more than five years of success.

Bruckheimer doesn't count now, but he's clearly on his way.

He made two films by himself last year, both of which made money, on the one hand, it reflects his vision, selecting good scripts, production staff and actors, and on the other hand, it also reflects his overall control ability, which is very outstanding.

If it is so successful for a few more years, it is inevitable that Bruckheimer will leave the Kirin Group and set up his own business.

Yin Jun didn't care about this.

There are more talents in the world, and you can't ask everyone to be your subordinate, right?

When a company has really laid the foundation and become a behemoth, a gold medal producer like Bruckheimer will naturally rush over to cooperate with the Kirin Group.

Isn't this how the later "Pirates of the Caribbean" came about?

In Hollywood, and indeed in all entertainment industries, it's more of a partnership.

It's just that the cooperation time is long and short.

For example, celebrities or something, you can still use a contract to bind it, but the producer can't do it.

Because the producer is so important to the film, they must put their heart and soul into it in order to be successful.

If it is a reluctant cooperation, if the producer deliberately makes a mistake, the cost of tens of millions of dollars will be wasted, which is something that no one wants to see.

Bruckheimer's contract with Kirin Culture is "6 plays in 5 years", and now in less than two years, he has already produced 2 "Beverly Hills Detectives", which is similar to the pace of his subsequent films.

can make movies to make money, and the time is fast, there are not many people in Hollywood, and Bruckheimer is definitely a very top one.

Yin Jun is even optimistic that he will be able to achieve better achievements in the future than in his previous life.

On the other hand, on Bruckheimer's side, he couldn't have admired Yin Jun's perception.

Before meeting Yin Jun, he was just a new producer.

Speaking of being a producer, in fact, it has not reached the point of making a movie on his own.

But Yin Jun trusted him very much, and the first movie given to him was "Beverly Hills Detective".

Bruckheimer knew that "Beverly Hills Detective" was good, but he never expected that the film would do so well, and suddenly made him a cutting-edge producer in Hollywood.

But Bruckheimer was not proud, but rejected all other temptations and polished himself seriously.

Including "Beverly Hills Detective 2", as well as the two movies he went to find and make, they are all like this.

Because he knows that a person's success is definitely accumulated over time, not a single success, which can be eaten for a lifetime.

didn't lay a good foundation at the beginning, didn't make good movies for a few years seriously and steadfastly at the beginning, where will I have connections and foundation to make more movies in the future?

So he had planned for a long time, and in the past five years, he would not go anywhere, but just polish his various abilities in the Kirin Group.

But it's definitely not just about making only 6 movies, he also has to do an extra $10 million to 30 million dollars in medium production, and to make these movies profitable, that's the ability.

If you don't believe it, the two movies produced last year both earned more than 10 million at the box office, and the company's evaluation of Bruckheimer's "only relying on the boss's script" has suddenly decreased a lot, and many company executives have seen him with more sincere smiles on their faces.

As a result, Bruckheimer's mind became more determined and he worked harder.

Of course, this is not to say that Bruckheimer doesn't want Yin Jun's script.

For the script given by Yin Jun, Bruckheimer has the greatest expectations, hoping to learn more from it and lay a solid foundation for his future creation and selection of scripts.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Yin Jun can have 30% of the ability to write scripts, Bruckheimer is thankfully happy.

Today, in addition to eating, Yin Jun also gave Bruckheimer a new script.

A script that is not among the six scripts of the two major companies this year.

It's called

Top Gun.

Bruckheimer was a workaholic, and after a few quick bites, he put his mind on the script he had gotten.

The script given by Yin Jun is not so detailed.

Usually, it's just a story, and the illustrations and storyboards of some important shots in it won't exceed 50 pages overall.

And then the producers and directors have to expand the story of the script based on these to make what a movie needs.

However, Yin Jun's script story is still very detailed, and it can be read as one.

That's the story Bruckheimer reads.

Yin Jun didn't urge him, and ate slowly and waited for him to finish reading.

"Top Gun" was a masterpiece in the previous life.

Not only did Tom push Tom to the altar of superstardom, but also the recruitment of sluggish US naval pilots increased several times at once, and countless young people came to apply for the naval pilot examination, which greatly boosted morale.

Its overall story is actually the experience of a young man from arrogance to confusion, from failure to success.

It's just that, with the help of so many naval aircraft and warships, the picture effect is very good.

In addition, the young Tom is invincible, so the box office and word-of-mouth have been bumper, and it has become a classic in American movies.

After roughly reading the story, Bruckheimer closed his eyes, savored the contents of it, and frowned slightly.

"Boss, if this movie is to be made, it will definitely not work without the cooperation of the military, right?" Bruckheimer asked first.

"What are you going to do?" Yin Jun didn't answer, but asked him.

"Once I got the script budget out, I went to them. Bruckheimer said, "Since Vietnam, the U.S. military recruitment has been weak, and the Navy is even more so. So having such a movie with positive publicity, and it's also from the boss's big production, will definitely make them help. ”

Yin Jun smiled, "You emphasize that this is my work, emphasizing the big production, is it a big idea?"

"If you want to make high-quality products, our Kirin Group needs to have a large number of excellent works, so that other companies are out of reach. Bruckheimer impassionedly said, "Only then will they fear us and our position in Hollywood will be secure." ”

"I have to say, your idea is very much in line with what I meant. Yin Jun laughed, "Okay, you can make the specific budget, and then ask President Liang to approve it for you." ”

"Thank you boss!"

Bruckheimer breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he had the support of the big boss, he would be more motivated to do this play.

He didn't know that Yin Jun was not worried about him and "Top Gun" at all, because this was originally Bruckheimer's own work.

Although the time is three years ahead of schedule, Bruckheimer is not a little more mature than him in his previous life!
