Chapter 1057 The Actor Joins!
Yin Jun and Hiroshi Yamauchi have reached an agreement, but it does not mean that Kirin Game Company and Nintendo Co., Ltd. have reached an agreement.
Although there is nothing wrong with the general framework, every specific cooperation item cannot be careless.
Both parties must strive for the greatest interests and the best protection of their rights and interests, so the subsequent team negotiations will also be very intense and arduous.
What's a little funny is that both parties to the negotiation are Japanese.
On Yin Jun's side, Nakata Tomohiro is fully represented, and on Nintendo's side, Yokoi Gunpei, who is inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people, is represented.
To be honest, when Tomohiro Nakata faced his idol, Gunpei Yokoi, a leading figure in the Japanese video game industry, even his legs and feet were a little weak.
A year ago, Nakata Tomogo was not even qualified to greet Yokoi Junpei face to face, but now he has to negotiate directly with Yokoi Junpei. The pressure can be imagined.
But many Japanese people have a stubborn spirit that is close to self-mutilation.
Although Nakata Tomoka felt guilty when facing Gunpei Yokoi, facing the great trust given to him by Yin Jun, Nakata Tomoka felt that if he messed up, even committing suicide and apologizing could not make up for the loss of his boss, so even if he tried his best, he would Make the best of things.
Therefore, on the first day of negotiations, Nakata Tomogo's excessive force led to a deadlock. After several consecutive negotiations, the situation slowly became normal.
Gunpei Yokoi is not so panicked. Even though "Super Mario Bros." will be launched in Hong Kong in a while, Yin Jun has already agreed to Hiroshi Yamauchi. In addition to Hong Kong, Otai, and Taiwan, the remaining markets They all belong to Nintendo, and the installment price of US$500 million has been negotiated, so what else can change?
The most important thing is the cross key he designed and the subsequent adaptation details.
Hiroshi Yamauchi did not say it clearly, but Gunpei Yokoi felt that simply relying on "fair competition" could not guarantee Nintendo's rights and interests, so he decided to add some priority clauses.
Or maybe it’s best to get your hands on Resident Evil first.
Even if the agreement requires the consent of Kirin Game Company, it is still possible to develop the game after the development conditions are met.
After all, Nintendo is not powerless to fight back. The more patents Kirin Games wants, the greater the bargaining power here will be.
After Yamauchi Hiroshi explained the requirements for negotiation, he took Shigeru Miyamoto back to Japan the next day.
In order to welcome the upcoming "Super Mario Bros.", they still need to make a lot of preparations. Even if the negotiations are fast, there is no possibility of launching it on the market before January next year.
As the company grows, there are many things that need to be done and considered. It is not always easy to start up huge machines.
Yin Jun did not care about Nakata Zhigang's negotiation process. Anyway, if he was not satisfied with the negotiation, he could just go back and start over.
He didn't want to delay, and neither did Nintendo.
Especially if the long-term negotiation fails, is Nintendo really not afraid that after "Super Mario Bros." becomes popular, Sega and others will use lightning speed to steal this game at a high price?
After putting aside negotiations with Nintendo and staying in Hong Kong for a full week, Tom Hanks finally made a decision.
"I am willing to sign a 20-year, 10-movie contract with you," Tom Hanks said, "but I hope to have certain options for these 10 movies."
"No problem." Yin Jun nodded, "Your request is very reasonable. Stallone and Schwarzenegger also said so... 10 movies require your consent before they can be shot, but they must be completed within the contract period. 10 no agreement, do you have any objection to this?"
"I'm fine with that," Tom Hanks replied.
Hearing that a big star like Stallone had signed such a contract, Tom Hanks suddenly felt much more comfortable.
At this time, Tom Hanks is not the superstar who won the Oscar for two consecutive years 15 years later. He is just a young man in his twenties.
So he had some doubts in his heart and couldn't hold it back: "Mr. Schwarzenegger is a bodybuilding champion. I know he is very good in this area. But he seems to have never had any achievements in movies. Such an actor is worthy of Mr. Yin." Do you take it seriously?"
Yin Jun smiled and said: "Tom, do you want us to make a bet? If Schwarzenegger's achievements are greater than yours in the future, how about you help me make 5 more movies?"
Tom Hanks looked wary, "What are my achievements? Why don't you compare Schwarzenegger and Stallone?"
"I won't sign many stars in this way in Hollywood. Maybe there won't be any in the future." Yin Jun said leisurely: "The three of you will be world-famous super stars, but among the three, Stallone will be the best star in the future." Achievement is the lowest, you are second, and the one at the top is Schwarzenegger."
Tom Hanks simply doesn’t believe it.
He neither believed that he was more powerful than Stallone, nor that Schwarzenegger was more powerful than both of them.
But the person in front of him is a unique super genius in the world. Tom Hanks wanted to refute, but found that he did not have so much confidence.
Seeing Tom Hanks wanting to say it but not daring to say it, Yin Jun smiled brightly.
The weakest among the three is of course Stallone, and there is naturally no doubt or controversy about this.
But when it comes to who is better, Tom Hanks or Schwarzenegger, the controversy is huge.
In terms of acting skills and personality, Tom Hanks has surpassed Schwarzenegger by eight ways. Even Schwarzenegger's fans and fans cannot refute this.
But when it comes to the influence of the movie and its popularity among ordinary people, Schwarzenegger must have surpassed Tom Hanks, especially among movie fans around the world.
You can't get everyone to appreciate Tom Hanks' acting without screaming at Schwarzenegger's fiery action scenes.
But if you compare them all together, it is a meaningless comparison that really embarrasses many people.
The reason why Yin Jun said that Schwarzenegger is better than Tom Hanks is actually about "achievement".
Apart from commercial films, what other achievements does Schwarzenegger have?
Of course it is the much-anticipated position of Governor of California!
California will be known as the sixth largest economy in the world in the future. To become the governor of California, Schwarzenegger is definitely an awesome person, second only to President Reagan.
With the blessing of being the governor of California, Yin Juncai said that Schwarzenegger is stronger than Tom Hanks. There is nothing wrong with this.
In addition, there is another point. What Yin Jun said about signing only three of them is actually not an exaggeration.
There are only a few superstars in Hollywood's 20 million club who come and go.
The wave of superstars from the 1990s to the 2000s, in addition to Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Tom Hanks, also included Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, and Mel Gibson. That’s all.
After 2010, people like Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Depp, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and Matt Damon can also enter the 20 million club, and because of rising prices and Hollywood The reason why movies are so popular all over the world is that basically the total revenue of a movie can exceed 50 million US dollars.
As for female actors, basically the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts in the 1990s is one, and then there is Sandra Bullock after 2010 - the heroine of "Speed". They are the only two who can have a continuous relationship. Several movies have entered the 20 million club.
Then there are the very popular Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and others. In fact, they were only around the peak of one film at most. After that, their salary was cut in half, and they fell into a situation of a vase.
The era of special effects blockbusters has arrived, and acting skills and qualifications are no longer important, and the role of female stars has become even less important.
The blond little wild cat, the widow, actually got 10 million in "Captain America 2", but in "Avengers 2", she only got 1 million because of contract issues, which also shows that, Many female stars no longer have the strong ability to dominate the box office alone like Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock.
Yin Jun has no shortage of good actors, at least he thinks so.
In many Hollywood blockbusters, he can replace them with actors from Hong Kong or the Mainland.
Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Jiang Wen, Chen Daomin, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Fei Xiang... any one of them has been tested by their acting skills and box office market.
Even if it is because they have Asian faces, European and American people will feel a little uncomfortable, and the box office will not meet expectations, but I have so many classic movies that I can afford to waste them, so why do I care about so many of yours?
Wouldn't it be enough to show more classic movies starring them back and forth?
Exporting Chinese culture, values and Chinese stars is one of Yin Jun's most important purposes, and it is more important than making money.
With this kind of thinking in mind, it is enough to include Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Tom Hanks, and there is no need to select more superstars to enrich one's own camp.
There is really no way to use Chinese actors, or it must be a movie that balances the environment of Disney and United Artists in the United States. Action movies include Stallone and Schwarzenegger, and literary movies include Tom Hanks. Si, with some capable, cheap and easy-to-use male protagonists in the middle, it is very easy to deal with.
For example, future big stars like Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise have bad tempers and have sky-high demands. Yin Jun is not willing to cause such trouble for Qilin Culture.
As for actresses, except for those movies with special social circumstances, Yin Jun also doesn't like to use European and American female stars.
If some of the habits of male celebrities are considered normal, Yin Juncai doesn't want to serve the bad tempers and unbelievable habits and requirements of female celebrities.
She's just a star, but do she really think of herself as a queen?
