Chapter 1017 Attention

In the past few days, Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan were in Xiangjiang and Omen, eating, staying, drinking, and playing.

Except that Wen Jun didn't give him any money, so he couldn't buy so many dazzling things, his trip to Xiangjiang was considered a very luxurious vacation.

But he is only 19 years old, and Huang Qiuyan is only 21 years old. It is impossible for both of them to start enjoying it just like that.

Young people at this age are eager to achieve something, not just live a stable life.

Even if you wait 20 years later and think about these childish dreams, you will laugh at yourself for being too naive, but at least now they are still full of sunshine and yearning for beauty.

Therefore, Yin Jun came at the right time.

As Yin Jun took the two of them to his office, except for Wen Jun who stayed alone, the other martial arts masters from Kylin TV naturally did not follow.

"When will the production of "Shaolin Temple" be completed?" Yin Jun asked Wen Junxian.

Wen Jun is only the producer of "Shaolin Temple", and the most important task given to him by Yin Jun is to win over Jet Li, which Wen Jun has already exceeded.

As for director Zhang Xingyan, Wen Jun, apart from providing all kinds of support, never bothered him during filming.

In fact, Wenjun doesn't have much interest in filming. He now prefers to do difficult things.

"Editing and post-shooting started one after another in October. Now Ajie and the others have almost completed their scenes. At the latest, the production should be completed by the end of December." Wen Jun said, "They don't have too much. The special effects shots are all fights with real swords and guns, which are very novel, not as bloody as director Chuck Cannon's, but still full of aura."

Yin Jun smiled and nodded.

Everyone in the 1980s knows how great "Shaolin Temple" is. Even Yin Jun saw it 30 years later and found it extremely exciting, let alone people today.

And in this life, with the help of Qilin Films, which has given great support in Wi-Fi, action design, and logistical support, "Shaolin Temple" will definitely be more exciting than the original version.

"In addition to Anle and other theaters, please contact other theaters." Yin Jun said thoughtfully: "I want "Shaolin Temple" to be released in 40 theaters in Hong Kong at the same time."

"So many!?" Wen Jun couldn't help being surprised.

Xiangjiang Film has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the number of cinemas has also increased a lot. If you include those in the countryside, there are at least more than 200.

But generally speaking, only cinemas with more than 500 seats will be regarded as normal cinemas and may be approached by film distribution companies for cooperation.

As for those small cinemas, they usually wholesale movies that have already been released from film companies, as well as old movies. They pay according to how much a copy is, and take them to the countryside to show them on a loop - this is very similar to the Huaguo Street in the 1990s. Video parlors are very popular in alleys.

Xiangjiang is full of budgets, that is, there are about 100 movie theaters, and there are no more than 40 of them with 1,000 seats.

The 40 cinemas Yin Jun mentioned must be found among these 100 cinemas, which is basically 40% of the screening scale.

I think back in 1978, when Yin Jun first came to Hong Kong, it was a very good treatment to have more than 10 theaters showing the film together. If it met 15-20 theaters, it would be an incredible masterpiece.

However, with the gradual development of Yin Jun's movie scripts and the establishment of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, Xiangjiang's theater chain has three pillars, which has also led Xiangjiang's cinemas to enter a new era.

In this case, more than 20 movie theaters usually show movies together, and there are also many movies shown in 30 or 40 movie theaters.

Previously, Yin Jun's "Speed" broke through the 50 theaters and reached a jaw-dropping 52 theaters to be screened at the same time. That directly made history!

But no one thinks it shouldn't be.

People in the industry and ordinary movie fans take it for granted.

because……

That’s Yin Jun’s movie!

Yin Jun wrote and directed it himself, and invested HK$120 million in the movie!

The most famous genius in the history of Hong Kong, the first film directed by himself, no amount of treatment is too high.

Facts have proved that "Speed" made the audience addicted to watch, and it took in 45.2 million box office in one breath, breaking the 43.5 million box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" two years ago, becoming the box office record holder in Hong Kong.

However, there is only one Yin Jun in Xiangjiang.

Just because his movie can be screened in 52 theaters doesn't mean that other movies can too.

For example, "Shaolin Temple" that Yin Jun is talking about now.

Even though it was funded by Qilin Films and Wen Jun himself liked it, it was filmed in mainland China and Xiang Jiang was unfamiliar with all the actors in it. Is it too risky to open it in 40 cinemas at the same time?

If it is not accepted by the audience, then Qilin Film Company will be in great embarrassment! !

Wen Jun's shock was also expected by Yin Jun.

He didn't know how good "Shaolin Temple" was, but Yin Jun knew it.

In the previous life, "Shaolin Temple" still suffered a bit. It was only broadcast by a few small theaters such as Anle Cinemas, and there were less than 10 theaters in total.

But even so, "Shaolin Temple" still made 16 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking fourth that year.

If it hadn't been for the shamelessness of "Brothers in Need", which was ranked third, and was actually released for 112 days, surpassing it by 600,000 Hong Kong dollars in box office, "Shaolin Temple" would have been among the top three.

"Shaolin Temple" will still be released normally next year, with 40 cinemas showing it. I can't say that it will become the box office champion in 1982, but with its strong strength, it is definitely a strong contender for the top three.

This is not because Yin Jun has the confidence to be fascinated, but because of the reputation and excitement created by "Shaolin Temple" in his previous life, which took the entire Chinese-speaking world by storm, Yin Jun has such great expectations for it.

Therefore, in the face of Wen Jun's doubts, Yin Jun did not explain much: "Just deal with it, and prepare for overseas distribution. It will be a movie that brings us huge surprises!"

"Oh well."

The boss has said so. For a smart person like Wen Xiaopang, of course he won't ask any more questions.

Anyway, historical facts have proven that Yin Jun's decisions are correct, and other people's doubts and questions are just more jokes.

Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan didn't know what they were talking about, or they didn't know much about the concept of a movie being screened in 40 cinemas in Hong Kong.

After all, if a movie is shown in mainland China, it will basically be shown in most cinemas across the country, at least in counties and above.

In that case, the number would not be dozens or hundreds, but thousands.

However, seeing Wen Jun's surprised look, they also knew that Yin Jun had given "Shaolin Temple" good conditions for release.

Before Li Lianjie could say a few polite words of gratitude, Yin Jun turned to look at them, "Ajie, Qiu Yan, are you interested in coming to Xiangjiang for development?"

"Well……"

Li Lianjie had thought about whether Yin Jun wanted to invite him to come to Hong Kong to make a movie, but he didn't expect Yin Jun to poach him so cleanly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Huang Qiuyan responded faster, "Master Jun, our relationship is all with the Huajing City Martial Arts Team. If the unit doesn't release him, we won't be able to leave."

Today's mainlanders, no matter whether you are in a wealthy employer or a poor employer, the idea of ​​"my employer is my roots" is deeply ingrained.

Not to mention that Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan have been in the martial arts team since they were young. They are used to the martial arts team helping to make decisions and solve any problems.

"I will take care of the work unit aspect." Yin Jun raised his hand and said, "As long as you are willing, you can come to Xiangjiang to develop and become a movie star."

Movie star!

The figures of Liu Xiaoqing, Tang Guoqiang, and Chi Ziqiang immediately appeared in the minds of Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan.

Compared with these celebrities who are famous all over the country, martial arts stars are simply far behind.

Not to mention coming to a prosperous place like Xiangjiang to be a movie star!

Wen Jun told them that the big stars in Xiangjiang earn millions a year, drive luxury cars, live in villas, wear famous brands, eat well...the paradise-like life they lived a few days ago, everyone Celebrities are too tired of it!

Xiangjiang is really good!

Compared to Huajing, it’s ten times better!

And it is definitely no worse than the European and American countries that Jet Li and Huang Qiuyan have been to!

If they can become big stars here, it will definitely be the best arrangement for their work!

Li Lianjie was short of breath, "Can I be a big star?"

"I think you have the potential to be a big star." Yin Jun said, "But no one can succeed for no reason. If you want to become a master, you must bear pressure and difficulties that ordinary people cannot bear. Ah Jie, if you want to be a big star, you have to go through a lot of filming and training!"

Huang Qiuyan nodded slightly unconsciously.

Yin Jun said that being a star is so cautious and difficult, which proves that he is not deceiving himself and the two of them with bright prospects.

Think about it, he is now a super rich man, he owns a film company and a TV station, and tens of thousands of people depend on him for a living, so why do he still need to lie to the two of him? What are you picturing?

"I'm not afraid of hard work, but I'm afraid that I won't see a future after hard work!" Li Lianjie was also young, so he said these words.

Isn't this obviously a complaint about their martial arts team?

Huang Qiuyan should be more cautious. She tugged on her junior brother's clothes, and then said to Yin Jun: "Master Jun, we are very grateful for your care of us. But if we want to get out of the martial arts team and come to Xiangjiang to make movies, we don't have anything yet." Experience needs to be carefully considered.”

Of course, Yin Jun didn't expect the two of them to bow down to him. In fact, even if Jet Li wanted to come to Hong Kong to film, he would have to finish filming the remaining two parts of the Shaolin Temple trilogy before Yin Jun would let him come to Hong Kong.

Only when Jet Li realizes the huge gap between mainland movies and Hong Kong movies will such talent hunting become more logical, and will he be convinced to come to Hong Kong to film.

"Okay, after you go back this time, think more about it." Yin Jun said, "But according to what Wen Jun told me, after you film "Shaolin Temple", Ajie, you will probably become a big star in the mainland. You’re a star! You can also feel in advance what it’s like to be a star.”

"Haha, thank you Mr. Jun, I hope I can lend you some good words!" Li Lianjie said happily.

He didn't think "Shaolin Temple" would be so popular, but a genius like Yin Jun valued "Shaolin Temple" so much, maybe it could really make him famous overnight!

When that day comes, your life will definitely be much better than now, right?

If Yin Jun heard his voice, he would definitely say to him at this time, young man, you really think too much!

From now on, you'll be stuck in a cycle of ups and downs.

It will not be until 10 years later that you will fully shine as the King of Kung Fu under the guidance of Old Monster Xu!
