Chapter 1343 Looking Forward to Becoming a God

The next day, Yin Jun introduced Cheng Long and Jiaban to James Cameron who couldn't wait.

Cheng Long is very smart and very dedicated.

He knew that the sooner he could get in touch with James Cameron and understand the director's intention, the sooner he could think about the movie and perform it well.

Although Yin Jun was there, Cheng Long never relaxed. He still seized every opportunity and never wasted it.

He never wanted to experience the unbearable memories of filming "The Killer's Trench" again in his life.

Cheng Long also once vowed that he would carve out his own world in Hollywood.

And now working with a talented director like James Cameron is also a great opportunity for Cheng Long!

James Cameron was a little uncomfortable with having a Chinese star in "Die Hard."

The final result of Cameron's experimental film was naturally a failure.

The company invested 15 million U.S. dollars, but in the end it only recovered less than 8 million U.S. dollars at the box office, and there was no hope for peripherals. It was considered a loss of about 12 million U.S. dollars.

In this day and age, a movie losing tens of millions of dollars is considered a huge loss.

For this reason, many Hollywood companies are secretly glad that they did not spend a lot of money to recruit this truck driver.

With the sharp contrast between the box office and reputation of the two films before and after, they all felt that the reason why Cameron performed so well in "Terminator" was entirely due to Yin Jun's script ability, and Cameron was just the executor. It’s not that surprising, it could have been done by another director.

James Cameron naturally heard these remarks. He said nothing on the surface, but he was still holding a breath in his heart. He still hoped that "Die Hard" would explode in box office and word-of-mouth, proving that his success was definitely not an accident.

Now that Yin Jun has assigned him a Chinese protagonist, he feels that the success of "Die Hard" may be even more difficult.

But he is not a stuck god twenty years later, but a new and outstanding new director. It was Yin Jun's script and funds that made him famous, so he didn't say much.

Naturally, the young man didn't say much.

Whether Cheng Long can do it or not, Yin Jun can't say, it will only be known after the two of them cooperate.

Let the two of them communicate by themselves, Yin Jun turned around and walked into Tang Shuxuan's office.

Tang Shuxuan has been waiting for Yin Jun for a long time.

Although it was not nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, Tang Shuxuan's "Mother and Daughter" was well received by the industry.

Everyone, including Hollywood film critics, believes that she captured the delicate atmosphere of family and responsibility in a vivid and sophisticated film, and is fully worthy of being nominated for an Oscar for Best Director.

However, this time Tang Shuxuan was unlucky.

She met Yin Jun and "The Shawshank Redemption".

"Mother and Daughter" is very good, there is no doubt about it.

But the problem is that "The Shawshank Redemption" is even better, and it is simply worshiped by countless movie fans and even film critics.

So Yin Jun is more qualified to be nominated than her.

In addition, Yin Jun is also Tang Shuxuan's boss, so when the Kirin Group was doing public relations, all the main firepower for the best director was focused on Yin Jun.

Therefore, in the end Tang Shuxuan's "Mother and Daughter Love" was not selected.

The same was true at the Golden Globe Awards. Tang Shuxuan accepted the "Best Director Award" for Yin Jun who was not present.

But Tang Shuxuan herself didn't care much.

What she likes is to make beautiful and meaningful films.

These are not commercial movies that make a lot of money.

The current box office of "Mother and Daughter" is not very high. If it were not for the low remuneration of Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia, I am afraid that the box office alone will not be able to make back the money, and it will have to rely on future video tapes.

In terms of word-of-mouth, "Mother and Daughter" has received unanimous praise from Hollywood, so she has succeeded.

Besides, when Yin Jun asked her to take over as the president of the North American branch of Kirin Group, he didn't just promise her a movie.

With two or three more films, and with enough qualifications and momentum, it wouldn't be impossible to get nominated or even win an award.

In such a happy mood, Tang Shuxuan hugged the young man hard and expressed her gratitude after meeting Yin Jun.

Being hugged like this suddenly made the young man blush. However, Tang Shuxuan was already in her forties and a mother of two children. Of course, this kind of affectionate hug had no other meaning. Both of them knew this.

"Thank you for giving me such a book, Ajun!" After sitting down, Tang Shuxuan couldn't help but praise: "It's so enjoyable to shoot a movie like this."

Yin Jun smiled and said nothing.

Female directors generally like to make such delicate films. It is still rare to see a strong female director like Kashen’s Ex-Wife.

"Sister Xuan, how are Oscar's preparations going?" Yin Jun took a sip of water and asked.

Tang Shuxuan laughed, "I thought you didn't care about this? Why, you still want the best director?"

"If you say you don't care at all, it's definitely a lie." Yin Jun said, "But the Oscars probably won't give me the best director this time, so I didn't think too much about it. Let's think about it more realistically. Awards."

What Yin Jun said to Deng Lijun last night was obviously different from what he said to Tang Shuxuan now.

This is because in front of his wife, Yin Jun must not let her worry, and what he told Tang Shuxuan is what Yin Jun really thinks.

As a filmmaker, winning all the awards is naturally his highest achievement.

Yin Jun is also a director in this life.

Of course he hopes to win awards from the three major European film festivals, and he hopes to win the Oscar Grand Slam, just like a card god, leaving his name in film history.

With "The Shawshank Redemption", Yin Jun has conquered the Cannes Film Festival. Now it's Hollywood's turn. Why doesn't he expect to win a Grand Slam?

Unfortunately, seniority issues, integration issues, public relations issues, etc. all combined together, which destined Yin Jun to be unable to win a Grand Slam.

It has a huge inherent disadvantage. No matter how much public relations expenses are spent, it will be in vain in the end.

Yin Jun is not afraid of spending money, but spending unnecessary money is a waste.

"Well, it's good that you have such an idea." Tang Shuxuan said, "Don't worry, you are only 20 years old. If you don't get an Oscar before you are 30, my sister will help you drag out the old men from the film academy and parade them through the streets. !”

According to Tang Shuxuan's thinking, Yin Jun has so many genius ideas in his mind. Even if he shoots an excellent movie like "The Shawshank Redemption" every two years, by the time he is 30, he will have 5 movies.

If five excellent movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" fail to win Yin Jun the Oscar for Best Director, it will definitely cause public outrage, and the old diehards at the Film Academy will not be able to bear it.

Yin Jun heard it funny.

How many movies in the entire history of movies can be compared to "The Shawshank Redemption"?

Just say that "Titanic" almost won a grand slam, but only because it was so shocking, not how good its story really was.

Of course, "Forrest Gump" must be considered one.

This movie beat "The Shawshank Redemption" head-on. I dare not say it is much better than "The Shawshank Redemption", but it is definitely a little bit better.

Yin Jun's hope for the Best Director Oscar is still placed on "Forrest Gump".

On the one hand, his directing ability is constantly improving, and on the other hand, with the foreshadowing of the previous films, Oscar can no longer ignore himself, right?

And the most important point is that the novel "Forrest Gump" has been published for more than two years, and its influence in the United States is growing day by day. Countless readers have written to Henry Publishing House and Qilin Group. The North American branch wrote a letter, hoping to put "Forrest Gump" on the big screen as soon as possible.

And with the display of Yin Jun's directorial ability, especially after the release of "The Shawshank Redemption" last year, more book fans and movie fans have strongly requested Yin Jun to direct it himself.

Just thinking about how the spirit of the movie will be reflected if the author of the book directs it is enough to excite countless book fans and movie fans.

Not only "Forrest Gump", but also "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" published last year was also inspired and encouraged by "Forrest Gump". There are at least tens of thousands of female readers and fans who are strongly interested in it in various fields. The occasion calls for "Bridge of Lost Dreams" to also enjoy such treatment and to be directed by Yin Junlai himself.

Many young and middle-aged female celebrities immediately responded positively in newspapers and news, claiming that if Yin Jun asked them to play the heroine, they would perform at a very favorable price, and they would not even need to be paid. There are female stars.

There are no fools in this world, especially in Hollywood.

Whether they are actors or actresses, directors, or producers, all of them are like monkey spirits after losing their hair. There is no way they can be stupid.

It's absolutely impossible for a stupid person to get ahead in Hollywood.

Those female stars who lowered their pay or even waived their pay obviously saw the huge social effect of "The Bridge of Lost Dreams".

There is another more critical factor.

The director is Yin Jun, the boss of United Artists Film Company and Disney Company, a private owner.

If such a Hollywood super giant can join his line, will he not be able to gain both fame and fortune in the future?

If you do your job well, you might even be able to capture Yin Jun, the super diamond king!

Even if you can't, just being able to sleep with the greatest genius boy in the world is something to be proud of!

All right.

Yin Jun didn't know their thoughts, and he wouldn't care or be tempted if he knew.

I didn't even touch Sophie Marceau, who was so delicate that she was dripping with water. How could I have anything to do with those women who didn't know how to behave?

If it was purely for lust, all the current female celebrities in Xiangjiang should have been slept with by Yin Jun, right?

He will definitely shoot "Forrest Gump", but the time for "Bridge of Lost Dreams" to be filmed is not very recent. It will take a few years until its effect is completely fermented.

It's a pity that the story of "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" is not suitable to take place in Asia. Otherwise, when Yin Jun published it, he would have changed the location and characters to his own people, so that the filming would be smoother.

But that doesn't matter. There are still many outstanding middle-aged actors and actresses in Europe and the United States, and good candidates will naturally be found when the time comes.

If Tom Hanks is a good choice for the leading actor, if he wants to be a little older, Eastwood from the original film is also very suitable.

As for the heroine, Elizabeth Taylor is also okay.

Even though she is 51 years old this year, she is well-maintained and looks about the same age as she is in her forties, which is most in line with the age and experience of the heroine of "The Bridge of Lost Dreams".
