Chapter 1310 Martial Arts Grandmaster (First Update!)

Chapter 1317 Martial Arts Master

"After they have another day off, they will go to Japan with the production team and then start promotion one after another."

Standing in front of Yin Jun's desk, Wen Jun briefly explained yesterday's situation, and then reported the next step of Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan's itinerary.

Seeing Yin Jun nod, Wen Jun added, "The apartment here in Xiangjiang is also ready, and they can move in when they come back. The rent is really cheap now, a big house of 800 square feet, and it is well-decorated. Everything is configured, and it only costs 700 yuan a month. It’s half cheaper than this time last year!”

Smiling, Yin Jun said: "The remaining drivers and agents must be smarter. It's up to you."

"Yes, I know." Wen Jun hesitated, "Master Jun, how should we decide Ajie's contract? A 15-year contract, or a one-year contract?"

"Let's make a contract with him!" Yin Jun thought for a while and said, "Give him a contract with 20 movies in 20 years. The conditions can be improved a little, so don't worry."

"OK."

Wen Jun was secretly shocked.

The stars of Qilin Culture have never been able to make appointments for 40 movies in 20 years.

The most are Schwarzenegger and Stallone’s 10 film contracts in 20 years.

As a result, the number doubled when it came to Jet Li. It can be seen that in Jun Shao's heart, Jet Li's status is higher than that of Schwarzenegger and Stallone.

Who are Schwarzenegger and Stallone?

People in Hong Kong may not know it well before, but after the movie "Terminator", who doesn't know Schwarzenegger?

After "First Blood", who doesn't know Stallone?

The two of them are already world-class superstars.

Even these two people are not as good as Li Lianjie in Jun Shao's heart. Although there may be compatriots and cultural differences here, it is impossible that Jun Shao does not have great expectations for Li Lianjie's future achievements.

I'm afraid Li Lianjie can be compared with Zhou Runfa in Jun Shao's heart!

"Ajie just came from the mainland, and what he cares about most is money. As long as we give him enough money, he will be happy." Wen Jun said thoughtfully, "As for money, since you said so, Then let’s add in the box office share! This way we won’t treat him badly.”

Yin Jun nodded slightly.

It can be seen that Wen Jun still knows Li Lianjie very well.

In this era, don't talk about ideals and aspirations with young people in the mainland. They just want to make money, and make a lot of money, so that they can improve their lives.

Jet Li is such a typical example. After he saw the gap between himself and the actors in Hong Kong, he became even more obsessed with money.

If you ignore this point, Li Lianjie will not say anything in the short term, but in the long run, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

What Yin Jun hopes is that when everyone cooperates, they cooperate well and don't make too much trouble, otherwise what's the point?

Especially for a superstar like Jet Li, who, like Cheng Long, carries the heavy responsibility of promoting Chinese culture like Yin Jun, not giving him enough motivation will definitely be detrimental to his performance.

Seeing that Yin Jun was silent, Wen Jun asked again, "Master Jun, when Ajie comes back, I plan to arrange for him to play the leading role in one or two TV series, or to go to the crew of a few movies to exercise first, just like on It’s the same as "October Siege", what do you think?"

"Need not."

Yin Jun raised his hand and refused directly, "Some people are born to be the protagonist. I have my own arrangements for this matter. You first take him to familiarize himself with the environment and the production process of Xiangjiang movies. After the Spring Festival, I will give him Arrange a movie...well, then you will be the producer."

"good!"

Wen Jun readily agreed.

He was now more confident in his judgment.

The only people who played the leading roles from the beginning were probably Zhou Runfa and Cheng Long.

Even Tony Leung Chiu-wai, an actor loved by everyone in Hong Kong, is still a friend of Mr. Jun. Mr. Jun asked him to train on the TV station for two more years.

The attention Li Lianjie receives is really extraordinary!

…

Wen Jun walked out, and Yin Jun thought for a while, and took out a folder that was delivered just a few days ago from the filing cabinet next to him.

The word "Xuke" is written on the front page of the folder.

Yes.

The information here is the information about Xu Ke that has been collected recently.

This Xu Ke is, of course, one of the Seven Monsters of New Art City. He is also a martial arts master who will later be known as "Old Monster Xu" and "Master Xu" in the world.

On the basis that history has changed, Xu Ke still filmed the movie "Gui Ma Zhi Duo Xing" that made him famous two years ago, and the box office was more than the more than 7 million in his previous life, reaching more than 12 million. It can be considered a complete turnaround.

Xinyi City is not as lucky in this life as it was in the previous life.

In the previous life, New Art City started with Xu Ke's movie, and quickly established a firm foothold, beating Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest all the way, and became the veritable number one film company in Hong Kong.

Then they started to swell.

Everyone fights for power and profit, all for their own interests, followed by forming cliques and suppressing dissidents.

In the end, a big mess was created, and they let it go and allowed Xinyi City to fall.

So in just a short period of ten years, New Art City grew from scratch, went from being the number one in Hong Kong to closing down, and staged an extremely wonderful human drama.

After Xinyi City developed and expanded, when everyone began to fight for power and profit, Xu Ke left Xinyi City and went on his own.

Going with him was his future wife Shi Lansheng.

The other two people who left one after another were Zeng Zhiwei and Teddy Robin.

So the Seven Monsters of New Art City eventually became the Big Three, and that’s how they came about.

It's different now. Qilin Film Company is aloof and suppresses all film companies.

Even New Art City's trump card, the "Best Partner" series, was written by Yin Jun.

The Seven Monsters of Xinyi City are all arrogant people, how could they be willing to be suppressed by Yin Jun?

Therefore, in the past two years, they have worked hard to prepare scripts and create good movies, just to compete with Qilin Movies.

Under this kind of pressure and hard work, the quality of New Art City's movies in the past two years is generally good.

Xu Ke himself made another martial arts film called "Hero Boy" in addition to "Gui Ma Zhi Duo Xing", which was very clean and neat, and the box office exceeded 10 million, which was very profitable.

In the entire year of 1982, New Arts City produced a total of 35 movies, an average of three movies a month. 27 of them had a box office of more than 10 million, and 5 movies had a box office of more than 20 million.

It's a pity that none of them belong to Xu Ke, so he feels a little embarrassed, and his status in Xinyi City is not obvious.

So, now Yin Jun digs him to make a movie and let him cooperate with Jet Li, is it okay?

Yin Jun thought for a long time and finally closed the folder.

He stood up instead and picked up another folder.

Written above is Hu Jinquan's name.

Director Hu Jinquan is really a master of martial arts movies.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in the wrong era and his ideas couldn't keep up with the times, Xu Ke would be completely behind him.

Xu Ke's martial arts movies are usually fierce and cruel, with a sense of division.

Hu Jinquan's martial arts movies are different, elegance and the feelings of children in the world are particularly important.

Why is the word "new" added to "New Dragon Gate Inn", one of the pinnacles of Xu Ke's martial arts?

Just because the movie "Dragon Inn" was written and directed by Hu Jinquan.

Xu Ke learned many of his styles from Hu Jinquan, and he has always respected Hu Jinquan, otherwise he would not have hired Hu Jinquan to direct "The Swordsman" in 1988.

It is a pity that during this and only cooperation, the two had a fierce conflict. After Hu Jinquan took most of the scenes, he left directly.

Later, Xu Ke had to go on his own and changed a good film "The Swordsman" into a bit of a mess, which was also a pity.

Of course, in the second episode of "The Swordsman", that is, "The Invincible of the East", Xu Ke went even further and cast the Invincible of the East as Sister Qingxia, but unexpectedly created an unprecedented classic.

This can be regarded as an accident.

Xu Ke certainly did not expect that such a change would bring him countless fans and directly bring him the title of "Martial Arts Grandmaster".

Mr. Jin Yong had been scolding Xu Ke in the newspaper for several days, but when he saw that everyone liked it so much, he could only take it back angrily.

Leave these things aside.

Now in 1982, Xu Ke is far from as mature as he will be in the future, so it is definitely not good enough for him to praise Jet Li.

If it were Hu Jinquan, it would be much better.

Hu Jinquan, who is 52 years old this year, is at the peak of his creativity and energy. He will definitely be able to shoot "The Swordsman" well.

However, one of the shortcomings of directors of Hu Jinquan's generation is that the plot is not compact enough, and the audience will not be used to it, which means it will not be enough to watch.

Yin Jun can only avoid this shortcoming by writing the script in more detail and asking him to shoot strictly according to the script.

This was the reason why he sent Wen Jun to be the producer.

Wen Jun's character is not as strong as Xu Ke's, so we discussed how to polish Hu Jinquan, so that Hu Jinquan would not be so stubborn and able to have his own way.

As long as Hu Jinquan's thinking is not out of control, then "The Swordsman" will have a bottom line.

In the previous version of "The Swordsman", one of Yin Jun's biggest complaints was that the leading actor found Xu Guanjie, who was completely unsuitable for costume dramas.

If it were Li Lianjie, the chic and smart atmosphere would definitely change to a different level immediately.

Well now, there happens to be such an opportunity. Li Lianjie will play the role of Linghu Chong in his debut. In a few years, Yin Jun will invite Sister Dongfang back, and that classic that has been handed down from generation to generation will no longer have to run away!

Thinking about Sister Dongfang's unparalleled elegance, Yin Jun couldn't help but feel excited.

When the time comes to shoot, I have to be there myself. It is best to direct it myself, so that the decades of expectation and longing are not wasted!
