Chapter 1724 - The Best Campus Film Director

Two days after arriving in the United States, Carlson, who was in charge of the preliminary preparations, called Yin Jun.

The layout of the town in Prague, Czech Republic, was almost the same by this time.

The street that needs to be built, because there is enough money to be given, and the quality is not too particular, the most important thing is the appearance, and one or two buildings can shoot exterior scenes, so the construction is faster, and it can be used in July at the latest.

Of course, this is certainly not a good thing, there are also footings and support columns, but since most of them are two- or three-story buildings, they are very easy to build.

Not only the buildings, but also the actors, have already been selected.

As soon as they heard that Yin Jun was coming to make the movie in person, the actors from the Czech Republic and neighboring countries were very excited, and even first-class actors came to audition for roles.

By the way, the current Czech Republic, still called Czechoslovakia, has not yet been divided into two countries.

But as Big Brother has become weaker and weaker in recent years, his influence has gradually weakened, and some ideas that lean towards the West, as well as economic behavior, have appeared in these countries.

For example, in the case of movies, they have a lot of autonomy.

Although Yin Jun is from the East of China, he is the No. 1 tycoon in Hollywood and a first-class director, and there are many people who want to show their faces in Yin Jun's movies.

What if he seized this opportunity, was favored by Yin Jun, and took himself to Hollywood for development?

Even if you don't like it, then with the qualifications of starring in Yin Jun's movies, you will have a great advantage in making movies and developing in the future!

Not only did Carlsen go to the Czech Republic first, but even Tom Hanks had already gone to Poland as early as April to experience life there.

He even went to the home of Schippermann, the original author of The Pianist, and asked him to teach him how to play the piano.

This point, even Yin Jun admires him very much.

You must know that everyone's habits are different, and just because Americans play the piano like this does not mean that the British are the same, let alone Poles.

The Pianist was originally the autobiography of the author, Schipperman, and the piano playing and techniques he talked about in it were written according to his own habits.

If it is an actor to act, there must be no big problems, but some small details must be a little different.

Tom Hanks is in order to be the same as the author in details, so as to better express the mood in the book, so as to play a living young Schipperman.

How else to say that Tom Hanks is the king of Hollywood acting after the 80s?

Based on this alone, do you say that people should not succeed?

The soul of "The Pianist" is only Tom Hanks, and the other German officer, Yin Jun specially asked Carlsen to find a local German actor, also to make the actor closer to reality.

The rest is Yin Jun and the production team.

Now that the preparations are complete, they will fly to the Czech Republic in the next two days.

It's just that before leaving, Yin Jun still has someone to meet.

This man's name is John Hughes, and he is a screenwriter owned by Disney.

Last year, Yin Jun saw a movie script for "Happy Holiday", which was written by this John Hughes.

Because Yin Jun is a screenwriter, two Hollywood companies, Disney and United Arts Films, will pick and show Yin Jun a good script after receiving it, so as not to miss a good script.

This "Happy Holiday" appeared in front of Yin Jun's eyes under this circumstance.

Just seeing John Hughes's name, Yin Jun felt familiar, and then looked at his photo, Yin Jun recognized this big man.

This is the original screenwriter of "Home Alone"!

is not only "Home Alone", but also "Skipping Class Weather" produced the year before last, that is, "Spring is Not a Reading Day", which is also the screenwriter and director of John Hughes.

Among them, the sentence "The world is very big, I'll go see it first", decades later, it was regarded as a golden sentence by literary and artistic young people!

Yin Jun liked John Hughes's works very much in his previous life.

As some have said about him, John Hughes is a rare man of pure heart.

This is reflected in all his works.

His screenwriting and directing works are full of childlike innocence and fun, without any violence and extremes, and the discussions are all about topics related to passionate youth, as if he were a high school student.

With such a mentality, he is the best person to direct comedies.

A lot of times, comedy is just about being as pure as possible.

Compared with "American, National Pie", which is loved by countless young people in North America, it is reasonable that "Home Alone" can get the world's No. 1 box office.

For such a director, Yin Jun naturally couldn't ask for Disney.

Although John Hughes is not a director of "Happy Holiday", Yin Jun arranged a position for him as an assistant director and asked him to observe how others make movies.

Then Yin Jun also arranged several movies for him with different styles, and also asked him to be an assistant director to familiarize himself with various aspects of shooting.

John Hughes likes to write and shoot youth subjects the most, but that doesn't mean that he can't be familiar with other subjects, and he can't intercept the strengths in them and add them to his own field.

For more than a year, John Hughes has had a lot of experience.

So he wrote his second screenplay, "Sixteen Candles," and handed it over to Disney's script review department.

The box office of "Happy Holiday" is about 30 million, and the follow-up income will be about 10 million, and its cost is only more than 5 million US dollars, which is a small-budget production.

That's a lot of money.

So John Hughes was more confident and continued to come up with his second work.

It happened that Yin Jun was in the United States recently, and after seeing this script, he called John Hughes to his office.

John Hughes, 34 years old this year, is not as obese as after middle age, he wears glasses, he looks gentle and handsome, but unassuming.

This is also in line with his character.

"Boss!" John Hughes greeted Yin Jun with a bit of restraint.

As a screenwriter, of course he knows how good Yin Jun is.

Countless screenwriters in the world are working hard, not to catch up with or even surpass Yin Jun, but to catch up with the distance with Yin Jun, and that is enough.

John Hughes thinks he has good screenwriting skills, but when compared to a screenwriter like Yin Jun, who has amazing talent in many fields and categories, it is a world of difference.

He really couldn't imagine that an author who could write "Forrest Gump" and "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" could still write stories like "Jurassic Park" and "A Song of Ice and Fire".

That's it.

The key is that Yin Jun is still the author of "Chainsaw", such a story full of horror and thriller is completely different from the previous category!

But "Saw Horror" was a great success and was called the best horror film in the past decade, which has to make people admire Yin Jun's talent, he is really born talented!

"Sit down!"

Yin Jun smiled and waved his hand, "John, I read your new script, it's very good!"

John Hughes felt a blush, "No, no, I'm still writing very young, and it needs to be improved." ”

"What I said is true. Yin Jun smiled dumbly, "Not every script writer can have a youthful sensitivity like you." For the thoughts of young boys and women, as well as their habitual actions, your "Sixteen Candles" is vividly expressed. Looking at this story, it's like I'm back in high school, back to those sunny days. ”

John Hughes was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, boss, you don't seem to have gone to high school, right?

According to the information you have learned, most of your knowledge, boss, comes from those mysterious old grandfathers and grandmothers in orphanage homes!

But he didn't think much about it, thinking that this was an analogy for Yin Jun.

It's just a metaphor.

But Yin Jun is actually talking about his past life.

The boy really remembered his youth, those youthful plays, first love, and troubles...... Wait, it's a rare memory in life!

Awakening from the memories, Yin Jun smiled faintly: "I like this script very much." You go back and prepare, apply for all the preparations, and do your job!"

"Huh!?"

John Hughes thought he had misheard, "What did you say, boss?

The overall work should be done by the director, but he is just the assistant director!

Is it because "Sixteen Candles" is my own work, so it will be more effective to prepare for it with half the effort?

"Yes. Yin Jun said, "Why, can't you accept yourself as a director?"

Director!!

John Hughes's breathing tightened all of a sudden.

It's actually the director!

I actually have to direct the movie alone, or my own work!!

This, what a joy that fell from the sky!!

If he follows the normal procedure, it should be at least two or three years before he can get a chance, and it is definitely not so fast.

"I ...... I'm worried about myself...... I can't shoot ......"

After the excitement, John Hughes was a little trembling and seemed very unconfident.

Although he has worked with five or six crews in the past year or so, and has learned a lot of relevant knowledge, he still doesn't have much confidence in directing a movie by himself.

"It's okay, for your first film, just get an experienced assistant director to help, that's what I did back then. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "Do it bravely! I believe that only you can best express the meaning of the script you wrote!And making such an interesting movie happens to be what I want to see, and this kind of movie is meaningful!!"

"I ......"

John Hughes opened his mouth, his face swollen and red.

The next moment, he nodded heavily, "Boss, please watch my performance, I will definitely work hard!!"
