Chapter 1364: Collecting Big Stars
After negotiating the investment, Bruckheimer didn't end there.
Although he is a person who has gradually shown his desire to control the crew, in front of Yin Jun, he does not dare to hold it up at all.
Not to mention that Yin Jun is his boss, a Hollywood giant, and the world's number one screenwriter, just say that Yin Jun himself is a director and producer, and the movies he produces are better than him.
Looking at "Life and Death" now, Bruckheimer is fascinated by the sharp and concise style in it, and feels that it is much better than "Beverly Hills Detective".
The reason why it is not popular, first of all, the first is that the story takes place in Xiangjiang, and the production team is not a star team, and the second is that it is tough and tough with "Superman 2", so that neither film did well, and the box office was not satisfactory.
As for the other "The Shawshank Redemption", Bruckheimer also understands very well that if this film is replaced by a Hollywood director with a bit of seniority, most of the Oscars for Best Director will be in hand.
Although Bruckheimer aspires to be a commercial film director, this does not prevent him from respecting excellent directors.
Yin Jun is such a person in terms of directing ability.
If Bruckheimer and Yin Jun cooperate, then in the shooting of the movie, although the producer is higher than the director, he will definitely not interfere with Yin Jun's direction, at most in the final edit, do more according to his own heart.
After all, to Yin Jun's level of directing ability, Bruckheimer is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.
Bruckheimer also admires the actor in "The Speed of Life and Death".
Fei Xiang is tall and handsome, which is very suitable for the setting of action movies.
This time in "Top Gun", Bruckheimer fell in love with Fei Xiang and wanted him to play the leading role.
Christian Phillips?
When he said this, Yin Jun was stunned.
It took a moment to react, this is Fei Xiang's English name.
"How did you think of him, wouldn't he be too tall?" Yin Jun asked.
As we all know, although the pilots are all tall and big, the higher the better, especially the combat planes of the 80s and 90s, which are too tall to be piloted at all, and the movements are not very flexible.
So, typically, pilots around 170-190 cm,
Fei Xiang is already 190 cm tall, and he can play basketball, and he is definitely very top-notch among pilots.
If you go a little more, you won't be able to be selected as a pilot.
When Tom starred in "Top Gun", the crew basically used not tall actors, so as to maintain an average height, so as not to be compared to Tom very short.
"Tall is handsome!" said Bruckheimer, "at most we will try to choose taller actors when the time comes, so that it will look average." ”
Yin Jun smiled unconsciously, okay, there is a high-end version in this life.
"Okay!"
The boy nodded in agreement.
Fei Xiang has been on Broadway for more than half a year, and he has starred in several stage plays, so he should have had enough.
During the Spring Festival, when he called Yin Jun, he said that he would go back to Xiangjiang to make movies in the new year.
After all, Yin Jun was very good to him, and when he was so popular, he could still promise him to let him star in a stage play and fulfill his wishes.
Originally, the teenager prepared an adventure movie for him in Xiangjiang, but Bruckheimer mentioned it like this, "Top Gun" is obviously a little more popular, so let Fei Xiang come to the crew.
……
A film company must have its own basic disk.
What is Fundamentals?
It is to have a strong production team and movie stars who are willing to work with them.
For example, Paramount is bound to Tom Cruise.
Needless to say, Spielberg is their treasure.
20th Century Fox has always been a strong supporter of Cameron.
Usually if the films of these companies are not doing well, then they will work with these teams to launch new films, so that the momentum will be loud and they can regain attention.
Yin Jun is in Hollywood, and he must also consider his own basic plate.
Cameron definitely counts as one.
Bruckheimer is one.
Pierce Brosnan, who is now starring in The X-Files, is one.
Fei Xiang and Eddie Murphy are definitely two.
The bigger names of Tom Hanks, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Johnny Depp are definitely counted.
But Yin Jun didn't think that that was enough.
Think about Disney in the future, with Marvel Studios' live-action movies, how many big names will it gather?
That's the pinnacle of a company.
Yin Jun has such good resources and such a good opportunity, and it is really a waste to not have a group of big stars on the Internet, and it is really a waste to pocket them before they become famous.
For example, 18-year-old Robert Downey Jr. can debut from a youth idol with Johnny Depp and become an important star of the Kirin Group in the next two or three decades.
It's easy to find Robert Downey Jr., his father, Robert Downey, is already a good director, and Robert Downey Jr. has been acting in movies since he was a child, and he is quite famous in the United States.
It's just that Yin Jun didn't need so many American stars before, and Robert Downey Jr. has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, when he is young and vigorous, he can't control himself.
Don't look at Johnny Depp's usual madness, his literary style is very heavy, but he doesn't know how to take drugs, while Robert Downey Jr. is an expert, and he was locked up and quit before coming out.
The reason why Yin Jun found Johnny Depp to play the role of his younger brother in "Rain Man", instead of finding Robert Downey Jr., who was close at hand, was because of this.
Although in the United States, work and personal life are separated, it is impossible to take advantage of the situation to plant a blame for the Kirin Group just because Robert Downey Jr. is a contracted actor of Kirin Culture, there is no reason at all.
Anyway, Kirin Group is not a listed company, so it will not affect anything at all.
The key is that Yin Jun is unwilling to bear this reputation.
In his opinion, it would be great that all the actors were as self-disciplined and excellent as Tom Hanks, and they didn't have to worry about it at all.
But after thinking about it, Robert Downey Jr. seems to be about 2000 years before he will be arrested for drug abuse, and there are still more than ten years before now, is he going to give up eating because of choking?
You know, Robert Downey Jr. was already nominated for an Oscar in 93, when he was only 28 years old!
Such an excellent actor, if you don't use him, it seems to be too wasteful.
So if he thinks about it this way, Yin Jun is relieved, this time he came to the United States, and he has ordered the people in the agent department to contact Robert Downey Jr., and he is also ready to give him a contract for 20 movies in 30 years.
In addition to Robert Downey Jr., Yin Jun is also ready to sign the genuine "Life and Death" actor Keanu Reeves.
Now Keanu Reeves is acting in a stage play on Broadway, and his reputation is not bad, at least better than Fei Xiang, who is a halfway monk.
Keanu Reeves has a much more distinct personality than Robert Downey Jr., and is very personalized.
For example, after he starred in "Speed of Life and Death" and became popular, he no longer starred in commercial blockbusters, but chose several literary films, and all of them hit the street.
If it weren't for "The Matrix" that made him popular again, maybe he would have faded out of the entertainment industry a long time ago.
Even so, after "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves was also an old man, and he went to pick up a lot of his favorite movies with depth, from a superstar to a second-rate star again.
Then, just when everyone thought that Keanu Reeves would no longer be seen in commercial production, suddenly he used two "Fast Pursuit" to kill him and returned to the ranks of action first-line stars.
Such a person, what can you say except to admire his character and his life?
Therefore, Yin Jun also gave him a contract for 20 movies in 30 years, and it was only fitting for him to act according to the contract.
As long as you finish my movie, you can toss the rest, and you can also have Kirin Group's commercial blockbusters to guarantee you, which can prevent you from going up and down like in your previous life, how good!
And the professionalism of Hollywood actors, under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry, as long as they sign a contract, then it will definitely be completed, unless they directly don't want to mix in Hollywood.
No company would be willing to cooperate with such a star who treats contracts indiscriminately and doesn't count.
At this point, even the hostile Hollywood giants have a very deep tacit understanding.
In fact, this kind of contract of Kirin culture has been criticized by Hollywood recently, especially those brokerage companies, they are very disgusted.
The reason is that in this way, the actors are bound to the company, and the space for them to move is greatly reduced.
However, such a contract does not violate the law.
Because this is a kind of contract with the number of films, that is, a contract based on the number of films, it does not involve a specific length of time, and there is no even binding.
Fortunately, only Kirin Culture has done this, and other film companies are unwilling to carry out such a bundle.
is bundled, not only to enjoy the rights, but also to pay for these actors.
No matter what the movie they starred in, the minimum cost is a must, so a contract like this is at least a budget of two or three hundred million dollars.
If you sign three or five of these new stars, it means that you have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on them.
And that's not even the scariest of all.
What's even more terrifying is how much resources and how much money do you have to spend in order to win them? That's a lot more than the burden of salary!
It's better to directly use the money to invite those big stars to make movies, which is more secure.
In fact, both the agency and the film company are preparing to see the jokes of the Kirin Group.
Of course, Schwarzenegger at the beginning directly gave them a slap in the face, this stupid big man who originally seemed to have only one muscle, actually became a hot action movie star through "Terminator", which is something that almost everyone could not imagine.
Before that, Schwarzenegger had been in Hollywood for many years, but not once.
Seeing Schwarzenegger's success, everyone is willing to believe that this is the credit of Yin Jun's script.
But no matter how strong Yin Jun is, can he still come up with dozens, hundreds of scripts like "The Terminator"?
No kidding!
In that case, Yin Jun is not a genius, he is a god!
Therefore, as long as Yin Jun fails a few times, he will be knocked off the altar, and his model of subordinate covenant is doomed to failure.
Let's take a look at it when the time comes, how much money can Yin Jun have to support so many celebrities.
Yin Jun actually knows these views.
But he didn't bother to explain it to them.
Who is more famous, who can be famous, is there anything better than him?
It's like an eagle looking down on the cries of this group of ignorant and weak chickens in the sky, of course, they don't bother to respond!
