Chapter 1012 Two Brothers Who Want to Make Movies (Part 2)
"Haha, Master Jun, you can say that, but you have no intention of doing so, right?" Xiang Huabin, however, is much more sophisticated and asked directly, "Besides, I have also heard that Master Jun, you are the most particular about benevolence and righteousness. You didn’t do this before the situation opened up, let alone now that it’s rampant in Europe and the United States.”
Yin Jun ate a piece of mutton chop and said with his head: "I want to express something to Mr. Xiao Xiang. For me, it doesn't matter whether I control the film industry in Xiangjiang. What I said, in fact, Uncle Liu, Mr. Zou and Lao Lei all understand it, so they never block my movies. My own hope is actually that Xiangjiang Films will prosper as much as possible. If there is only Qilin Films, wouldn't it be too lonely to make a difference?"
"right!"
Xiang Huabin echoed, "One good man needs three gangs! No, the youngest of our family, he begged me to invite you, Mr. Jun, to come to dinner this time. In fact, he just wanted to see if he would be in the movie. Opportunities to circle..."
Yin Jun looked at Xiang Huasheng in surprise, "Mr. Xiao Xiang also wants to enter this circle of fame and fortune?"
"yes."
Now that the topic has been brought up, Xiang Huasheng doesn't hide it, "Brother Eleven and I are very interested in movies. Now that the movie market in Hong Kong is so good, we are thinking about whether we can start a movie company together, like Shaw Brothers, like Jiahe and Xinyi City.”
Xiang Huasheng didn't say it was the same as Qilin's movie. This was because he was self-aware.
Unless you are a genius like Yin Jun, you will never be able to keep up with the pace of Qilin movies in your life.
You just don't believe it when you watch Hollywood, but you are slapped one after another by Yin Jun's movies, which almost makes them doubt their life.
Xiang Huasheng wants to make movies, not someone who overestimates his capabilities.
Yin Jun looked at Xiang Huaqiang. Xiang Huaqiang, who had always been serious, nodded seriously: "Yes, we want to be a film company. I hope Mr. Jun can give us some advice."
The young man noticed that Xiang Huaqiang was called "Young Master Jun" from the beginning.
The future leader of Yongan, although his face looks stiff, he actually has a very good way of dealing with people, and he is a person who is square on the outside and round on the inside.
In comparison, his younger brother was a bit aloof and aloof.
Of course, as a scholar who has returned from studying abroad, he naturally feels that he is a little out of place with the bunch of rubes in Xiangjiang.
If you watch the movies he made after that, you will know that they are really different from other Hong Kong movies.
Many times, when Yin Jun watches movies of that era, his sense of anticipation when the words "Yongsheng" comes out in the title title is exactly the same as the sense of anticipation when "Jiahe" comes out.
If the general environment in Xiangjiang had not collapsed, and if Xiang Huasheng had not fallen ill at that time, Yongsheng was controlled by Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, especially Mrs. Cheng. By 2000, Yongsheng would still have become the number one film company in Xiangjiang.
Pity.
Yin Jun looked at the brothers who were now very close.
When men don't have women, they can help their brothers, but once they get married and have children, their ideas will change too much.
Perhaps Xiang Huaqiang had no intention of seizing his younger brother's family business in the future, but for various reasons, they finally completely eliminated Xiang Huasheng's influence, and even scrapped the golden signboard "Yongsheng".
In fact, there is a very obvious sign of Yongsheng's decline that everyone can understand.
That's Zhang Yan's ups and downs.
Zhang Yan was very popular during the eight years from 1987 to 1995.
In 8 years, Zhang Yan has made dozens of movies in total, averaging more than 8 movies a year.
But after 1995, Zhang Yan suddenly had no works. She went from a popular super actress to a passerby actress that no one cares about, which is really puzzling.
There was no connection with Yin Jun in his previous life at the beginning. Why did such a super popular star suddenly become silent?
Then after he learned more about Xiangjiang's entertainment history and learned more about the Xiang brothers, he finally figured it out.
Zhang Yan is Xiang Huasheng's girlfriend. This is an ironclad fact.
Every female star in Xiangjiang, even sister Yazhi, has had scandals. But no matter how popular Zhang Yan is, no newspaper or media has ever written about her scandals. This is the reason.
Who dares to spread rumors to the Thirteenth Young Master’s girlfriend?
But Zhang Yan's good days ended when Xiang Huasheng became seriously ill.
Xiang Huasheng can be regarded as a kind and righteous person. He thought he was going to die at the time and didn't want Zhang Yan to end up miserable, so he broke up with her and gave her a large sum of money to let her leave.
This time point happened to be around 1995.
And just after Xiang Huasheng put down the affairs of the film company and left all the affairs of Yongsheng to the eleventh brother Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, Yongsheng declined rapidly with an unstoppable trend of decline.
In just a few years, the film empire that Xiang Huasheng spent 10 years building collapsed like this, which is really disappointing.
In his thoughts, Yin Jun said: "As for the film company in Xiangjiang, you can know from what I just said that I hope that the film industry in Xiangjiang can be colorful. If Mr. Xiang and Mr. Xiaoxiang can join in, , I am too late to welcome you if you are serious about making movies."
"That's good." Xiang Huasheng put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked at Yin Jun and said: "Young Master Jun, you also know that there must be a good sign for the opening of a film company. We have almost found it now. The manpower and preparations are already in place, the only thing missing is a good book that can win the house..."
At this point, the main purpose of inviting Yin Jun to come was revealed.
"If I give you the script, how are you going to make a movie?" Yin Jun asked noncommittally.
Xiang Huasheng said, "I am in charge of the overall situation and responsible for fund raising and planning. Brother Eleven is specifically responsible for the shooting and editing of the movie. At the beginning, these most professional and specific matters were naturally handed over to the most professional people. I did some research , if it is to be a groundbreaking masterpiece, it should be a comedy. It is not that difficult to produce, and it is in line with the movie-watching preferences of all ages, and it is easy to achieve both box office and word-of-mouth success."
"Of course, it also depends on the book in your hand, Mr. Jun." Xiang Huaqiang said from the side: "If you give us a martial arts film, I would like to find two directors, Chuck Ce or Chu Yuan, to make it. If If it’s a kung fu comedy, then it’s Hung Kam-bao or Mr. Yuen Lao. If it’s a pure comedy, we plan to ask a newcomer like Wang Jing to direct it. If it’s a literary film, I think director Yan Hao is a suitable choice.”
Yan Hao?
When Yin Jun heard the name, he couldn't help but give his thumbs up, "Mr. Xiang is indeed someone who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. He even knows Yan Hao, the director of literary films. He is really amazing!"
Xiang Huaqiang felt happy when he heard Yin Jun's praise.
In the Hong Kong film industry, Yin Jun is not the one who has made the greatest achievements. Mr. Shao is. After decades of hard work, Yin Jun cannot be surpassed by just a few films. But Yin Jun is now a unique big man in the Hong Kong film industry. Dude, whether it is Qilin Movies or himself, they are a peak that others cannot reach.
Not only because Yin Jun's "Speed" is a global hit, but also because Yin Jun owns two major Hollywood companies, Disney and United Artists, making him a well-deserved film industry boss in the world! !
Of course Xiang Huaqiang, who already loves movies, would be happy if Yin Jun could say that he knew a lot about the film industry.
He most wants people to praise him for his film achievements, rather than to fear him because he is Yong'an's Eleventh Young Master.
In the future, if he hadn't been extremely eager to surpass Yao Di's achievements, he wouldn't have shamelessly taken over the entire Yongsheng Film Company. Without his approval and help, how much more courage would you give Mrs. Cheng? See if she dares to eat up Xiang Huasheng's shares?
This Yan Hao may be unknown in the future, but in fact he is one of the most important directors of the New Wave.
Xu Anhua, Xu Ke, Yu Yunchang and other new wave film directors could not help but praise and admire the director's skills when they mentioned Yan Hao in the future.
He can always inspire the charm of the movie story itself in the ordinary.
It doesn't require any stars or big productions, Yan Hao's movies just make you sit there and watch them seriously.
In this regard, he is somewhat similar to his father.
His father Yan Qingshu, also known as the famous Mr. Tang Dynasty, wrote "Jinling Spring Dream", which is really hard to put down.
Originally, Yin Jun had not thought about what movie to give to the Xiang brothers, but now he has an idea.
"Since Mr. Xiang has brought you two here, I still have to give you this face." Yin Jun said after pondering.
But when the two people's faces showed joy, Yin Jun raised his hand and said: "But I have a few things that I want to talk about first."
"Please tell me!" Xiang Huasheng said excitedly.
"First, I don't care how big and powerful Yong'an is, but when they enter the film industry, I hope that Mr. Xiang and Mr. Xiao Xiang can follow normal rules... just like Mr. Xiang has behaved himself for so many years. When I make a movie, I never have to recruit others to win a role for myself, or bully anyone."
Yin Jun said this to give Xiang Hua some face.
Although he really doesn't bully others and doesn't put on airs, he did take advantage of his family background to win several roles for himself, but in the end he still didn't become popular.
Seeing Yin Jun sending him to the good people, it was impossible for Xiang Huaqiang to say that he was also taking advantage of his identity. After hearing this, he nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Jun, I know the rules here. As long as I am in the company, Then it is formal. If any actor or director says that we bully others, you can directly teach me a lesson!"
Xiang Huabin also answered: "I can also guarantee that although our Xiang family is doing some side work, not everyone is in this business. If the two of them want to do business properly, they will definitely not turn the world around. Bring the last set over."
"Mr. Xiang, I can still trust your family's credit." The young man smiled, "Then secondly, if you two become a film company, I hope that we can sit together and jointly maintain the prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry. Don't Let those crudely made-up movies become popular."
"good!"
Xiang Huasheng nodded readily and agreed.
He originally wanted to do a big career, and he didn't have any good impressions of these sneaky filmmakers.
Yin Jun laughed and raised the cup filled with water: "In this case, I would like to wish both Mr. Xiang a bright future and great success!"
"Thank you, Mr. Jun!"
The three Xiang brothers all smiled, and their hearts became cheerful.
With Yin Jun's help, this matter is half done! !
