In Hollywood, there have always been some more conventional rules.

For example, one of them is the "three-part law" that we are all familiar with.

It means that a successful person in Hollywood has the right to fail three films.

If all three movies fail in a row, then it means that he or she is no longer suitable for Hollywood, and he or she is already an eliminated person, so people don't have to care about him or her anymore.

The three-part rule can be applied to actors, directors, and producers.

Many people's understanding of Hollywood is actually a little confused with the understanding of Xiangjiang movies.

In the film circle of Xiangjiang, under normal circumstances, in a movie, the director is the supreme authority, and the so-called producer is generally named by the boss of the company, and the real power is still in the hands of the director.

Although there are also strong producers like Xu Ke, who can completely override the director, just make the director like an executor, but this is a minority of the few after all, and it cannot become the rule.

But it's different in Hollywood.

Hollywood has always been a "producer responsibility system".

The producer is not the executive producer of TVB, they are just somewhat the same, and in fact, the producer has more power.

The producer is the general person in charge of a crew, and all the directors, screenwriters, cameramen, and actors are in their charge.

In the major film companies, there are such a group of producers, who are responsible for finding various project scripts by themselves, and then after finding them, they apply for project approval with the company, pull funds, find directors and actors, and start filming and production.

In Hollywood, producers who don't belong to major companies also germinate an idea first, and then he will find a few screenwriters and write his idea into a script.

Or the producer directly buys some famous adaptation rights, so that the screenwriter can adapt the script later.

When the script is polished, the producer will take the script and go to major film companies to sell it and seek cooperation.

Weaker producers will let the film company take the lead, and they are only responsible for planning the crew and shooting and other details.

Stronger producers, they will not only dominate the whole movie, but also participate in the investment themselves, and there is also great convenience in profit sharing.

For example, the future Bruckheimer is such a strong gold producer.

There are also Aziva Gosman, who produced blockbusters such as "Superman for All", "I Am Legend", "The Da Vinci Code", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and David Heyman, who produced the "Harry Potter" seven-part series and "Gravity", are all such gold medal producers.

Although they only have a small production company, they are all comparable to second-rate film companies in terms of power and profits, which is very powerful.

Of course, nothing in the world can be static.

If you're James Cameron, if you're Spielberg, if you're Michael Bay, if you're Christopher Nolan, if you're Tim Burton...... Such a super-class director, then the producer or something, that is, the big steward of the crew who serves you, once there is any dispute, the film company will definitely listen to you, and you can change the producer at any time.

So this also illustrates a truth that has been passed on since time immemorial.

Iron also needs to be hard.

You don't have the strength to be strong, and you can't talk that much wherever you go!

Once you are a strong player in the industry, whether you are a peer or a boss, you have to follow your words and do things.

It's a pity that there are only a handful of people in every industry who are like such top figures.

But many people think that they are such a character, so they can't recognize themselves clearly, and finally end up with a pitiful and ridiculous end, which makes people sigh.

Bruckheimer is certainly not a small person, and he is not the kind of person who does not have eyesight.

In the entire Hollywood system, except for the era of comic book hero movies, Bruckheimer's achievements are actually the highest among all gold medal producers.

He almost dominated the entire 80-10s, even if his thinking and ideas were a little outdated because of his age, he still had a lot of super big IPs in his hands, which was enough for him to retire - "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of them!!

For such a person, Yin Jun has never underestimated him, even if he is now unknown.

Therefore, Yin Jun gave Bruckheimer the most favorable conditions, only signing a five-year contract and producing six films.

The rest is gone.

Similarly, Bruckheimer thought Yin Jun was very harsh at first, but when he saw the contracts of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Tom Hanks, and Eddie Murphy, he immediately felt that Yin Jun was not bad to him.

But at the same time, Bruckheimer was also a little puzzled, could it be that Yin Jun was not very optimistic about his future, so he only signed a contract with himself for so long?

With this in mind, the future gold medal producer came to Yin Jun's office at Lianyi Film Company.

"Sit!"

Yin Jun was in front of the table and put down his pen, "Jerry, I came to you today for the new movie." …… Before that, let me ask, are you prepared yourself?"

It's so convenient to talk to Americans, and it's so simple and clear to get straight to the point.

Bruckheimer was not uncomfortable, nodded and said: "I have been reading the script of "Beverly Hills Police Detective 2" for a month, and I already have a plan in my heart for what to do. In addition, the production team is all the original team, and we will finish filming in three months at most, plus post-production and publicity, there is no problem in catching up with this year's Christmas schedule. ”

"Beverly Hills Detective" grossed $320 million worldwide, reaching the top five of last year's total movie list and the third-highest-grossing work in North America, compared to the lose-lose "Life and Death" and "Superman 2".

With such a successful premise, Bruckheimer can confidently say that he can compete for a good place in the Christmas schedule.

"Then you start planning, Eddie Murphy will come to the United States this month to cooperate with the shooting," Yin Jun said.

"Boss ......"

Bruckheimer hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you see if you can let Eddie Murphy stay in the United States in the future?" After all, the United States is his base camp, and he is needed not only for filming, but also for publicity. Then he also needs to be on some variety shows and so on to consolidate his popularity. Making a movie another year is too wasteful for him. We should let him make at least two films a year so that he can increase his standing in the hearts of the audience. ”

"Well, if he stays in the United States, you can ask him about it yourself. Yin Jun nodded approvingly, but then said: "I don't think it's appropriate to let him fix two movies a year." The more you want him to become famous and let him make money from the movies he makes, the more you should cherish his identity and don't let him be equated with bad movies.

My opinion is that if you have a suitable movie, let him play it. If it's not suitable, let him go to the crew of some literary films and let him practice his acting skills. Anyway, he is still very young, so there is no need to be afraid of delaying time, and there is no need to be afraid of not making money now. I'm afraid that the heritage and talent he has are not enough to support his development in the next twenty or thirty years. ”

Eddie Murphy is a typical example of her own good conditions, but not enough in terms of background and continuous efforts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone up and down.

And he has a very fatal flaw, that is, he can only adapt to comedies, if he goes to make feature films in addition to comedies, he is very uncomfortable, and the audience is also not adaptable.

This is a little embarrassing, so Eddie Murphy finally fell behind and gradually withdrew from the stage of history when there was a lack of good themes and the film market was not so huge.

Morgan Freeman, the big brother of the black man, is different, he can not only act in serious movies, but when he needs to wave, he can wave up, and his temperament is both good and evil, so that people can't ignore his performance in every movie.

And Daniel Washington is about the same, so he can become the most box office guarantee and strength representative of blacks.

At this point, Will Smith is also worse, but the times encountered by people are good, when the movies are blooming, when Hollywood movies completely conquer the global movie audience, the role he played is well-known by many people, so that there are huge fans overseas, which makes Will Smith have the capital to continue to obtain first-class resources and star in A-level productions.

The first actor Yin Jun trained in Hollywood in his life was Eddie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy knows how to be proportionate, grateful and doesn't ask for much, and he will do whatever he is told.

If such a lineage is not cultivated, it is simply a huge waste.

At the same time, setting up Eddie Murphy as a model has many benefits for Yin Jun himself and the image of the Kirin Group.

No matter how you say that Hollywood is a ruthless vanity fair, but people are also very eager to get a trace of warmth, if there is such a relatively good boss, then those directors, producers, and stars, under the same conditions, will choose who to work with, it is obvious.

Even if Eddie Murphy doesn't have any good works behind him, Yin Jun casually gives him a series of movies, such as "Halloween of the Black Crazy Woman", and let him learn from Teddy Perry, making one every two or three years, which is enough for him to eat for more than ten years and earn enough pension money.

Moreover, the teenager also believes that Eddie Murphy, the most famous black comedy star in the 80s, must have a lot of potential to tap.

After 2010, which of those so-called rookie big stars has acting skills?

It's all movies made by special effects, and there is actually no big difference between which star appears, and people don't watch any stars, but special effects and gorgeous fight scenes.

The ones who are really supporting the field are still the middle-aged stars in the 90s and 00s.

Eddie Murphy's acting skills are better than those young stars, so I don't know how much better.

Listening to Yin Jun's words, Bruckheimer was a little envious of Eddie Murphy.

It's really a blessing for this kid to have such a boss who values him and wants to see him good, rather than just using him to make money!

Thoughts drifted away, and Bruckheimer nodded, "I see, I'll give him a try." ”

By proving himself with "Beverly Hills Detective", Bruckheimer has become a cutting-edge producer, and it cannot be said that there are many people who please him, but his network of contacts can be expanded is much larger, and for the sake of the face of the Kirin Group, he can also call on a lot of resources.

This is the reason why you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.

It is not difficult to use these relationships to cultivate Eddie Murphy.

It's really not good, Disney and United Arts Films, there are also such opportunities!
