Chapter 1311 Cooperation partners (Thanks to Brother Rotsen for the double alliance reward!)

Hu Jinquan is easy to talk about.

He just finished filming "The Best in the World" recently, and it was released to good effect.

Before the release of "The Best in the World", Hu Jinquan had already begun to contact American companies to prepare for the filming of "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers".

This movie almost ran through Hu Jinquan's life for the next 15 years. Although it was ready in the end, even the leading actor was found - the famous Zhou Runfa was cast as the lead. Zhou Runfa saw the script and found it very challenging, so he considered it. Ichiban took the initiative to lower his salary and decided to participate in the film.

Big stars, whether they are from the East or the West, as long as they see a good literary film script, especially a script with humanistic feelings, many of them will take the initiative to lower their status to star in it.

Big stars worth tens of millions of dollars only pay 1 million or even 500,000 to star in literary films. In 2020, Hollywood still has many.

It is definitely great news that a star with acting skills and charisma like Zhou Runfa has decided to participate in the show.

But before the filming started, in order to have the energy to shoot the movie better, Hu Jinquan had an operation. In the end, the operation failed and he sadly passed away. Movies like "The Blood and Tears of the Chinese Workers" have profound national sentiments and also condense the history of the fate of the Chinese in the United States over a hundred years.

Such a blockbuster must be the film that a great director like Hu Jinquan, who has won all kinds of honors, is most willing to challenge.

Unfortunately, obstacles such as script, money, actors, etc. made him delay for 15 years without success.

During this period, in order to make money, he also went to film "Swordsman" directed by Xu Ke, and then "New Dragon Inn" was actually a film he participated in, but in the end due to health reasons, he withdrew before filming started.

As long as Yin Jun is willing to agree and provide funds to help Hu Jinquan film "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers", then Hu Jinquan will definitely be willing to help Yin Jun film "The Swordsman".

It is true that if Hu Jinquan takes over the filming of "The Swordsman", the director's salary will be about 5 million at best.

And if Yin Jun wanted to make "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" for him, he would have to invest at least tens of millions of dollars, which is almost 70 million Hong Kong dollars.

"The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" is basically impossible to repay, so the money is basically wasted.

In terms of economic benefits, even if the box office of "The Swordsman" reaches 200 million, Yin Jun is not making money and can only work in vain.

However, that’s not how the accounts were calculated.

In addition to making money, a film company, or a person, also needs to have some sense of social responsibility.

For a meaningful movie like "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers", even if Yin Jun does not need Hu Jinquan's help in making the movie, as long as Hu Jinquan comes to the door, Yin Jun will definitely provide money.

Even the Kirin Cinemas in Xiangjiang and the Kirin Cinemas in the United States will actively support the release of this movie.

You have to do it even if you lose money.

This is the same reason why Yin Jun made so much money in the mainland, but foolishly agreed to Mr. Xiao not to transfer a penny out within 10 years.

As for Hu Jinquan, Yin Jun is planning to let him film "Swordsman", but it will only be this one.

Yin Jun was not prepared to let him film the subsequent "Invincible East" and "New Dragon Gate Inn".

It still has to be directed by Xu Kelai to have that flavor.

Although Xu Ke is called an "old weirdo", his grasp of the audience's taste is definitely one of the best among Xiangjiang directors.

Even after 2012, when Xiangjiang directors were almost wiped out in the mainland, Xu Ke's films could still make a lot of money and have a good reputation.

But now, Xu Ke's style has not yet been formed.

He still has to go through several years of experience.

Otherwise, the failed "Swordsman" is the best example.

Yin Jun thought for a moment and then made a call.

…

At noon, Yin Jun met Xu Ke and Shi Lansheng in Fulinmen's box.

This was the first time they had a meal alone since they said goodbye to Jiashi.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries and sat down. After the dishes were all served, Shi Lansheng remembered the past and felt emotional.

"Master Jun, I thought you were definitely not a creature of the pond, but I didn't expect you to soar to the sky so quickly." Shi Lansheng said, "Who else in the entire Xiangjiang can be more dazzling than you now? In ten years, you will soar to the sky." Who in the whole world can shine brighter than you?"

"That's ridiculous, Sister Lan." Yin Jun quickly waved his hand, "I just happened to rise by chance. There are countless capable people and geniuses in the world, but I dare not say that I have defeated all the heroes in the world."

"I think what she said is right." Xu Ke, who spoke so dryly, nodded at this time, "Because this is the truth. Everyone is looking forward to watching you go further, Mr. Jun!"

"Come to think of it, I still have a lot of expectations." Yin Jun smiled, "I can't do it if I don't work hard."

"Working hard is a given. I'm just curious, Mr. Jun, when will you reach the top of the world." Shi Lansheng pursed his lips and smiled, "When the time comes, don't forget our former friends."

"How could you forget your roots?" Yin Jun also smiled, "Come on, let's eat first... I'll toast you both."

"You're too kind!"

The two of them were startled, and quickly held the cups with both hands, clinked it with Yin Jun's drink cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

They knew that Yin Jun didn't drink, but for someone with such a high status to take the initiative to toast him, it was an honor and they couldn't help but give him face.

Fulinmen's dishes are very finely prepared.

What's more, every time Yin Jun comes over, Brother De cooks it himself, so the taste and intention are naturally extraordinary.

Oh, by the way, Brother De has now been promoted to one of the three great chefs in Fulinmen, specializing in cooking for dignitaries. And he is only in his twenties this year. It can be seen that there are geniuses in every industry.

After eating and drinking for a while, Shi Lansheng's words became less restrained after a few glasses of wine. "Master Jun, are you coming to us today just for a meal? We are all acquaintances. Do you have anything?" Are you looking after us with good things?"

Shi Lansheng is a woman and an old friend of Yin Jun's, so it doesn't matter even if her words are vulgar and straightforward.

She knew this well, and knew that Yin Jun had a gentle personality and wouldn't care about it, so she dared to ask like this.

"have."

Yin Jun put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Ke and Shi Lansheng, "Old Xu, Sister Lan, are you interested in breaking out of the framework of New Art City and making your own movies?"

"Do it yourself?" Xu Ke asked in surprise.

"Yes." Yin Jun said, "Just like McDonald's, you set up your own movie studio and make the movies you like."

Shi Lansheng's eyes moved, but he said calmly, "Old Xu is very valued in New Art City. There are two or three movies to be made every year, and he can earn more than three million a year. There is no pressure. If he comes out, he will be able to do everything. You can imagine how stressful it is to be responsible for yourself! Young Master Jun, not everyone is a genius like you!"

"As a director, it doesn't matter how many movies you make in a year." Yin Jun smiled, "The key is whether you can make the movies you want to make, and whether you can make movies that will amaze people. That's what matters. A very meaningful thing in life, right, Lao Xu?"

"right!"

Xu Ke ignored Shi Lansheng's look and answered naturally.

He is a person who always goes his own way, and Yin Jun just said what he was thinking, so he agrees with it.

"The first movie of McDonald's Studio, "A Better Tomorrow," was the script given by Mr. Jun, and then he opened up the situation." Shi Lansheng smiled, "I heard that he can also ask for help from Mr. Jun. Three scripts for when he’s not going his way, right?”

"This is not that exaggerated, but I promised Brother Xiong to help him when he is in trouble." Yin Jun said, "But Lao Xu is different. I have six scripts for him."

"Six!?"

For such a weird person as Xu Ke, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"Yes, six." Yin Jun laughed, "Xu needs to finish filming these six scripts for me before he can truly set up his own studio."

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea, right?" Shi Lansheng immediately retorted, "If that's the case, it's equivalent to Young Master Jun bringing Lao Xu over to work for you for five or six years, and then when you're done with it, you drive him away and let him fend for himself. Destroy yourself..."

Yin Jun laughed dumbly, "With the achievements made by these six notebooks, is Lao Xu still afraid that he will not be able to find good notebooks in the future? Also, with the experience of these six notebooks, with Lao Xu's ability, he will definitely become How can a generation of directors not be able to make good movies in the future?"

"If you insist on talking about cooperation, this will definitely not work." Shi Lansheng was very determined, "Unless Xu opens his own film studio as soon as he comes out. Then he can help you make movies. But these six film studios must If we want to become a shareholder, it will be regarded as a work jointly produced by both of us, so that we can have some courage to work alone in the future."

"I didn't give the work to anyone else, and then the copyright becomes someone else's habit." Yin Jun shook his head.

"Okay, the copyright is still yours, but can we have the right to share in the six movies that Lao Xu shot and share dividends?" Shi Lansheng took a step back.

"Of course." Yin Jun laughed.

Shi Lansheng smiled with satisfaction. She looked at Xu Ke, who was also a little excited, and then said: "In that case, let's go back to discuss it and get back to you, Mr. Jun, as soon as possible."

"OK."

Yin Jun nodded harmoniously, "However, before that, I have a small condition."

"Master Jun, tell me." Shi Lansheng said generously.

With the strength of the script given by Yin Jun, as long as it is filmed, it will definitely make money.

The difference is just whether you are making tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

Even the one that made the least, after six movies, it would have been at least 20 to 30 million in profit dividends.

In the past few years, the total box office of six movies could not be 20 to 30 million, but now the distribution channels of the Kirin Group are so large, it is not a problem to have a box office of over 100 million!

With 20 to 30 million yuan, plus the reputation gained from these six movies, how can Xu Ke's studio be any worse?

Yin Jun said it right, working for others is never as good as doing it yourself.

There was no chance before, but now Yin Jun is here. I believe in Lao Xu's strength, so why should I hesitate?

"That's right." Yin Jun said, "I have a movie in hand right now to be shot, and the scheduled director is Mr. Hu Jinquan. I would like to ask Lao Xu to be his assistant. Is there any problem?"

"Director Hu Jinquan?" Xu Ke was surprised.

He admired Hu Jinquan very much in his heart, which not many people knew, not even Shi Lansheng.

Suddenly Yin Jun mentioned this great director, and Xu Ke was excited but also curious.

"It's a martial arts film." Yin Jun said, "It's just directed by Hu Jinquan. Can you work together?"

"OK!"

Xu Ke agreed immediately.

It is definitely an honor to be able to collaborate with your idol.
