Chapter 1090 Are Your Expectations Too High for It?

During the meal, Wen Bixia remembered to tell Yin Jun something else.

"Brother Jun, I watched the movie "Shaolin Temple" that we invested in and sponsored! The day before I came back, it was released in the mainland... It was so lively! All the movie theaters in Huajing were packed with people! If not Without a midnight show, the midnight show would definitely be packed!”

Yin Jun smiled and raised his head, "How was the shooting?"

"this!"

Wen Bixia raised her free hand and gestured a thumbs up, "Although the plot is a bit ordinary, the filming was so cool! Jet Li really fought beautifully! Our Xiangjiang Kung Fu movie actors, including Cheng Long , Hong Jinbao, Di Long, Jiang Dawei... they are no match for Jet Li!"

There is no doubt that such words as "extremely beautiful" transcend the times were learned by Ayu when she lived in a rented house with Yin Jun a few years ago.

Shaking his head, Yin Jun said: "Li Lianjie's kung fu is indeed good, but it is not as good as Li Xiaolong's. Moreover, good-looking fighting and effective fighting are not the same. We cannot say who is better, Cheng Long. No worse than Jet Li."

In his previous life, Jet Li was known as the "Kung Fu Emperor", mostly because the gorgeous and dazzling kung fu occupies the most prominent position in his movies.

But you can't say that Jet Li is better than Cheng Long, especially in terms of box office performance.

Cheng Long has starred in several movies on his own, all of which were very successful in Hollywood. However, Jet Li's several movies in Hollywood are a bit miserable, which means they are better than Chow Yun-fat.

Cheng Long's success is worldwide, because his kung fu combines a series of modern factors such as comedy, fighting, comedy, etc., which is most suitable for the aesthetics of European and American people.

So in the end he is the one who represents Chinese Kung Fu. Before him was Li Xiaolong, and after him, I don’t know if there will be another one.

Wu Jing is an exception. Before a strong brand effect has been formed for decades, he is not as good as Cheng Long.

Li Lianjie's previous life in Hong Kong was actually not that successful.

His highest box office in Hong Kong was only about 30 million, which were "Fang Shiyu" in 1993 and "Once Upon a Time in the West" in 1997. Among them, he was the most prosperous in 1993, and he alone occupied the top ten box office movies. Three movies have been produced - "Once Upon a Time in the Lion King", "Fang Shiyu" and "Fang Shiyu Sequel"

But that's about it.

Up top, he did not break through the 50 million limit of "God of Gamblers 2", "Red Zone", and "Police Story 4". On the down side, he did not break the glory of 1992 when the top five box office movies were all Zhou Xingchi's movies.

But why is Li Lianjie a superstar? Why is he the only superstar who can compare with Double Monday?

The reason is that although his films are not top-notch in Hong Kong, they are far superior to others in Asia. They are super hits!

Among them are the solid foundation laid by the "Shaolin Temple" trilogy, and the reason why Jet Li's kung fu movies are in line with the aesthetics formed by Asian people over thousands of years and the standard of "chivalry" they pursue.

Li Lianjie's films, regardless of whether they are the "Once Upon a Time" series or the "Fang Shiyu" series, etc., the box office in other places basically ranks first with Cheng Long, and sometimes even surpasses Cheng Long.

Even around the world, there are many foreign movie fans who like this, so Jet Li's movies are very widely spread.

In "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", why was Jet Li able to get a salary of 100 million yuan in one go?

Of course, it is because of Li Lianjie's hard work over the years that he has many fans abroad. "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has sold 50 million US dollars at the foreign box office alone, and it has already begun to make a profit even before it is released in China. .

With the support of such a strong box office appeal in other places, Jet Li will certainly be able to become a super star.

Now speaking, Jet Li has just started, and "Shaolin Temple" is just the first step to his glorious beginning. Yin Jun is not very excited at all.

In this life, Yin Jun also has a bigger plan to create a Kung Fu Emperor. Although the purpose is to make Chinese Kung Fu movies popular all over the world, it is certain that Jet Li will benefit from it.

Wen Bixia was very convinced of Yin Jun, but it was strange to see that Yin Jun had greater expectations for Cheng Long, "Brother Jun, Cheng Long is not one of us, and as for Li Lianjie, I heard Uncle Wei say that we We are trying our best to win him, and he is very close to signing a contract with our Qilin Films. Why are you still so nice to Cheng Long? For a movie like "Red Zone", even if you don't give it to Jet Li, how good can you give it to Fa Ge?"

"If Chinese-language films want to develop, how can it be possible with my own strength?" Yin Jun scratched her nose, "Jiahe is very good. They are willing to make movies seriously, so of course I will support them. Cheng Long is even better, he is serious and dedicated, and is willing to work hard. If you don’t help someone like this, then who will you help?"

"Haha, Brother Jun, you are so selfless. People say you are greedy for their sky-high script fees. I really spit on them." Wen Bixia said, "We make more money by making these movies ourselves! These idiot reporters , just know how to sow discord and stir up trouble!"

"It doesn't matter what others say, what matters is what we do ourselves." Yin Jun remembered a later sentence and said smoothly: "When you walk by the roadside, a dog barks at you; but when you walk past, The dog can only look at your back and bark."

"Hehe~~"

Wen Bixia laughed and the food in her mouth spurted out.

Aunt Zhang, who was watching the two of them eating, patted her daughter on the back and said, "Be careful, for such a big person, it would be embarrassing to choke on her food!"

"Mom, I'm fine, you eat too, eat more!" Wen Bixia hugged Aunt Zhang's arm, "My mother's cooking is the most delicious! I love your cooking the most!"

I have to say that Wen Bixia's flattery worked very well. After Aunt Zhang pinched her cheek, she couldn't help but laugh happily.

In recent years, not only Wen Bixia has changed a lot, but so has Aunt Zhang. Especially after her alcoholic husband was sentenced, she lost her worries and gained more than ten pounds.

In addition, Wen Bixia earns a lot of money and gives it to her mother. She can also subsidize her other children and raise them who are still studying.

When you live a prosperous life, you will naturally feel happy again.

The house she lives in now is an apartment at the foot of Tiu Keng Ling. Wen Bixia's salary was used to buy it. Xiao Nizi also found connections. It is more than 800 square feet. She only bought it for more than 600,000 more than a year ago. It is definitely a bargain.

The third sister and others who are not married and still in school all live with Aunt Zhang. It's just that Wen Bixia has to film a movie and the company has prepared a small apartment nearby for her, so there are fewer visits when she comes back.

When Wen Bixia went to Huajing this time, she took Aunt Zhang with her. While she was in class, Aunt Zhang went around with her relatives from the Wei family.

But no matter how good Huajing is, it is not her own home. Aunt Zhang still has so many children at home, so she came back early by herself in November.

"Ajun, you should eat more, you are a young man, don't just grow taller." Aunt Zhang was also greeting Yin Jun.

"Okay, I know." Yin Jun and Aunt Zhang were not so polite and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Oddly enough, the food cooked by Aunt Zhang was mediocre at best, but maybe it was because everything tasted delicious when they were crowded into the shared house, but now Yin Jun tastes everything he eats.

After eating, Yin Jun chatted with the two mothers and daughters for a while. When he saw the third sister and the others going home one after another, he said goodbye and left.

He didn't go home directly, but went to the headquarters of Qilin Film Company.

The headquarters of Kirin Film Company is now in Kirin Industrial Park. Although it is not next to the factories, Yu Zheng has told Yin Jun many times that the film company needs a separate area so that it can have a good appearance.

Otherwise, others will see that you are working together with the factory, which will really damage the reputation of Qilin Films.

Yin Jun thinks Yu Zheng is right.

But Qilin Film Company will cover many aspects in the future, so it won't work if the site is small. If the site is too big, it will be difficult given the current real estate market in Hong Kong.

So he could only let Yu Zheng suffer for a year or two first, and then talk about it later.

Although it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, Yu Zheng did not go home as usual, but stayed in the office to work.

The boss likes such subordinates the most.

How can a subordinate who voluntarily work overtime and take care of things in an orderly manner not take a higher position?

She was not surprised to see Yin Jun coming over, so she chatted with Yin Jun about "Shaolin Temple" which was released in the mainland yesterday.

"According to the data we have, "Shaolin Temple" has very high attendance rates in several major cities. Especially in eastern Guangdong Province, which is adjacent to us, and in cities such as Guangdong, Faoshan, and Zhuhai, people queue up to buy tickets. People lined up from early morning to late at night." Yu Zheng said, "Based on the previous momentum of mainland movies, I'm afraid this movie can have a box office of tens of millions of yuan. That is, the ticket price of mainland movies ranges from 5 cents to 1 cent. If it becomes Hong Kong dollars, it will cost several billion!"

Not only that!

"Shaolin Temple" has a box office of more than 160 million in the mainland. If it is converted into Hong Kong dollars, how much does it cost? Tens of billions! !

"The box office in the Mainland has nothing to do with us. What we care about is the box office in Asia." After thinking about it, Yin Jun said, "Have all the arrangements for the joint screening been made?"

"Well, generally there is no problem, except that there is no way to enter the treasure island. In addition, the mainland has sent the copy the day before yesterday, and I have urgently got it to Japan to make the copy." Yu Zheng asked Yin Jundao curiously : "You are really so optimistic about "Shaolin Temple", so it is worth investing 50 million Hong Kong dollars in promotional expenses? Do you think 3,000 copies can be digested?"

"Advertising fees are nothing, and 3,000 copies are only for Asia." Yin Jun said with a smile, "When word-of-mouth and popularity pick up, we will distribute it to Europe and the United States in the second half of the year. I believe there will be good gains."

Yu Zheng shrugged and didn't ask any more questions.

Yin Jun has already shown everyone how good his vision is, not to mention the news that Yu Zheng has received in the mainland. "Shaolin Temple" is indeed extremely popular, and it is not a bad idea to give it a try across Asia.

It's just that Qilin Movies put a little more thought into it.

Anyway, theater chains all over Asia now have cooperative relationships with Kirin Films, so it is not difficult to sign a share-sharing contract.

What is slightly more difficult is that Yin Jun requires all of Asia to start painting at the same time, so 3,000 copies are prepared.

Only "Speed ​​of Life and Death" had enjoyed this treatment before.

Could it be that in Yin Jun's mind, "Shaolin Temple" can be compared with "Speed"?

Thinking of this, Yu Zheng shook his head and smiled, how is this possible?

How can an ancient martial arts film be compared with such a cool "Speed"?

It’s just that the boss is from the Mainland and has great affection for the Mainland, so he made such an irrational decision!
