Chapter 1203 Contract Termination Incident

In June, it is summer in countries with high latitudes.

Foreigners in Europe and the United States especially like summer because they like to bask in the sun. On beaches one after another, countless men and women, young and old, do not put on sunscreen. They just lie in the sun and let the sun turn their skin red. Gotta be hot.

Of course, the scenery in such a place is usually very beautiful.

In his previous life, Yin Jun's colleague traveled too much in his free time. After he came back, he showed Yin Jun some secretly filmed videos. Wow, the beach was almost full of foreigners, and the women just sat there naked. Standing and walking, the scene was simply too hot.

In addition to sunbathing, there are also a lot of people who like to swim in the sea, and there are countless surfers who follow the waves.

With such a cultural atmosphere, "Baywatch" launched by Disney TV Channel naturally received extremely high ratings.

The first episode had 32 million viewers, and the second episode reached 37 million viewers. There was no pressure to break 4,000.

Producers in the television industry are exclaiming that Disney is about to launch another phenomenal TV series.

The most amazing TV series was launched at the most appropriate time. The highest viewership of "Baywatch" will definitely not be less than 50 million.

I dare not say that it will be comparable to "Happy Hotel" in the future, but within this year, it is definitely ranked in the top ten.

And looking at the writing style and type of "Baywatch", if it is done well, there will be a season like this every year, and it will be a summer season alone, which will be enough.

Robert Iger is very satisfied with the release of such a TV series that is most suitable for summer.

"The Boys" is mainly in the spring schedule, "Baywatch" is mainly in the summer schedule, and there is also "Happy Hotel" as the New Year's Eve finale. There is no need to worry about TV series on the Disney TV Channel for a year or two.

Not to mention that the big boss has now sent the director and producer of "Saw" to work together to create a TV series with mysterious horror science fiction elements - "The X-Files". Robert Egger watched it and found it very interesting. If it is suitable If so, maybe it would be an important supplement if it was broadcast after Larry King's talk show.

do not doubt.

In the United States, many excellent TV series are broadcast late at night, and their ratings are quite high.

"The X-Files" first became famous in the late-night time slot, and finally it was slowly moved to the prime time slot.

Moreover, the somber, solemn, and dark style of "The X-Files" is also suitable for watching in the dead of night.

Robert Iger didn't see the huge potential of "The X-Files", which is normal. With many TV shows, you don't know whether they are good or not until they are aired.

Even many excellent TV series did not perform very well at the beginning. It is only later that they become more interesting and more popular among the audience.

For example, "Prison Break" from 2000 was such a slow-burning TV series.

Yin Jun read his work report and didn't say anything more. For such a powerful person, it's just troublesome for you to interfere in his decision. As long as other people become enlightened, they can do better than you!

So Yin Jun doesn't have to worry about the United States.

His current focus is on "Juno," which he wants to film.

The plot of "Juno" is not complicated, the structure is also very simple, and it does not require any special effects, but it is this kind of film that most tests the director's skills.

This is the same as "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption". It expresses the artistic conception of the entire movie through the story itself and the performances of the actors, and is full of emotions.

Any movie that can leave a name in film history has various advantages, and the ultimate goal of a feature film is actually to impress the audience.

No matter from which aspect, you must make the audience touch, feel something, and get involved, only then can you achieve your goal.

"Juno" does not have so many profound truths, but if you taste it carefully, it also represents the youth of many people and the stage of a young man's growth from youth to maturity. However, the growth of Juno, a girl, The price was too high.

That's okay.

Without fierce conflict, where would there be a shocking effect?

The pregnancy of 16-year-old Juno was the biggest attraction, and it also subverted everyone's imagination - in the previous life, countless people walked into the cinema looking at the little girl with a big belly on the promotional poster.

Yin Jun did a better job than the previous production company. The actress who starred in Juno in the previous life was actually 20 years old at that time, but Yin Jun found Sophie Marceau, who was only 16 years old, which happened to be the same as the one in the script. Same.

In a sense, she is a real minor!

Not to mention that Sophie Marceau's previous roles have already positioned her as a national girl. To suddenly play a pregnant middle school student is a huge subversion.

It is conceivable how the French agency, which has always been conservative, will view this film, and how it will prevent Sophie Marceau from taking over the filming of "Juno", so as not to ruin the image and destroy their cash cow.

But Yin Jun did this on purpose. He even sent the script and invitation to Sophie Marceau's agency after consulting her.

Yin Jun could guess the ending of this script and invitation.

At that time, they prevented Sophie Marceau from starring in Zulawski's "Wild Love". Sophie Marceau was so angry that she terminated the contract with them at her own expense. In the end, she successfully starred in this movie, and then also jumped into the movie. Into Zulawski's trap.

Isn't it the same now?

Sophie Marceau likes the script "Juno" so much and feels that with the help of Yin Jun, a talented director, she can challenge a new role and get rid of her shackles of being a jade girl. How do you make her give up?

pressure?

Sophie Marceau is basically a girl who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She just looks innocent on the outside, but don't mistake her for a real soft girl.

The more pressure you put on her and the more you force her to do something, Sophie Marceau will not let you get what you want.

To put it bluntly, now she has entered the rebellious stage. What she wants to do is blocked by others, that is, going against her, being a bad guy, so she must resist.

The original script states that Juno became pregnant when she was 16, which happened to be the time period chosen to give Juno the spirit to resist tradition.

Whether she insisted on giving birth to the child or gave him to others to raise after giving birth, it showed her strength and stubbornness.

Sophie Marceau is actually another Juno.

Then, while she was filming, she was visited by two agents and a deputy general manager, who ordered her to reject the movie "Juno" and let Yin Jun go to hell.

Sophie Marceau was dissatisfied upon hearing this and asked why.

Then these people treat her as the little girl she was two years ago and directly say that you are still young and many bad people will seduce you to do bad things. Making such a movie is purely to harm you...

In fact, from their point of view, in terms of the character they set for Sophie Marceau, there is nothing wrong with this statement. This is how they think about Yin Jun.

But Sophie Marceau is different. She doesn't like this increasingly heavy "female" persona. She doesn't like having to look at other people's faces to act, and she doesn't like pretending to be innocent and pure at all times. , and I don’t like being managed so strictly.

Besides, she admires Yin Jun very much.

Whether it is Yin Jun's novels or Yin Jun's movies, they all fascinate her.

Especially the recent "Shawshank Redemption", she was admired beyond compare and felt that this was a genius.

Sophie Marceau is actually very honored to be able to cooperate with Yin Jun and to work with such an excellent script written by Yin Jun.

But now they told Sophie Marceau that Yin Jun had ulterior motives and wanted to harm her... Do you think Sophie Marceau would believe it?

Of course not!

She felt that these people were very ridiculous and did not understand the world of art masters at all.

So she refused their persuasion without a second thought and insisted on starring in Yin Jun's movie.

If at this time, the agency chooses to slowly polish Sophie Marceau and rely on emotion to impress her, maybe it will have some effect.

But the agency that Sophie Marceau signed with was one of the largest in France and very powerful. When she saw that the girl she had trained was disobedient, of course, like a parent, she chose tough measures.

They directly told Sophie Marceau that the agency controlled her contract and had the right to reject inappropriate contracts. Therefore, she could not film "Juno" even if she wanted to, otherwise it would be a breach of contract and the company would pursue her. responsibility.

Sophie Marceau was stunned after hearing this.

She was just losing her temper at first, and felt that everyone would have to negotiate a solution in the end. The most she could do was give in on the share of the situation and compensate the agency more. Anyway, Yin Jun had plenty of money, so he would definitely get a lot of remuneration.

However, what she was waiting for was such a tough and ruthless official reply, and Sophie Marceau immediately felt heartbroken.

After all, they had been cooperating for so long, and they had been very good to her before. Sophie Marceau did not choose to quarrel immediately, but lowered her attitude and asked them to give her such a chance to pat her on the back.

After several days of discussions and negotiations, those over there thought that Sophie Marceau's low profile was because she was afraid and did not dare to make a fuss. Instead, she became more and more tough.

In this case, Sophie Marceau had seen through them. She was so sad that she simply called Yin Jun directly in the hotel.

"You lend me 1 million francs. If the salary is not enough, I will give you two more movies." The French beauty said firmly.

"good!"

Yin Jun's answer was just one word.
