Chapter 1344 Hollywood Strategy for the New Year

Yin Jun's thoughts flashed by.

Tang Shuxuan has already started to talk about the business, "Ajun, people in the company have been a little impatient recently, you can even say a little worried. They think you treat James Cameron too well, and the scripts are given one after another. The two companies The senior management hopes that you can continue to write good scripts for the company, so that they can actively develop and produce good movies."

This passage is also the main reason why Tang Shuxuan specially invited Yin Jun to come here today.

Unknowingly, Yin Jun has acquired United Artists Films and Disney for two years.

There must be a reason why the top executives of the two companies have gone from being desperate and letting things go, to now being full of motivation and hoping to develop the company even better.

The reason lies with Yin Jun.

At first, no one believed that Yin Jun could play well in Asia and then in the United States.

But the facts let them know that a genius is a genius, and he will not become incompetent just because he is in a different place.

Whether it is TV entertainment programs such as "American Idol", "Happy Hotel", "Baywatch" and "The X-Files", or movies such as "Beverly Hills Cop", "Terminator", The emergence of classic movies such as "First Blood", "Saw", "The Lion King", "Shawshank Redemption", etc. have all confirmed to people that as long as Yin Jun is around, Qilin Group will definitely become the number one in Hollywood. Just a matter of time.

Now it's gotten to the point where they don't have Yin Jun's script, so they feel a little uneasy.

So they pestered Tang Shuxuan many times in a row, and then they persuaded the president to go to the big boss and ask for a few more notebooks for use in the next few years.

As long as they have Yin Jun's script in their hands, their hearts will be completely settled and they can develop the company honestly.

"They don't need to tell me, I will also give them the script."

Yin Jun didn't refuse when he heard it. This is his own company, and it's a good thing that the employees below are motivated.

He said to Tang Shuxuan, "What's more, we have just launched several superstars, producers and directors. It is time for them to exert their efforts. We cannot let them be lazy."

Tang Shuxuan smiled clearly.

Superstars, of course, refer to Schwarzenegger and Stallone.

Through "The Terminator" and "First Blood," the two have been hailed as Hollywood's two tough-guy superstars for the next two decades.

Now I don’t know how many film companies have invited the two to join them. Of course they are also very excited. It makes money, who wouldn’t?

But because they all signed a 20-year ten-film contract with Kirin Culture, and this is a contract that has priority, at the beginning of this new year, they are all waiting for the answer from Kirin Group.

If there were no plans for this year, Schwarzenegger and Stallone would have taken over movies from other studios.

With their current status, the salary for a movie is at least US$5 million.

But the two obviously wanted to film Yin Jun's script.

Because they feel that they still have more room for growth. Instead of coveting high salaries now, it is better to practice for a few more years and rely on Yin Jun's scripts to build themselves into unique superstars before making money. But it’s not just 5 million that can be spent, it should be at least 10 million or even 20 million US dollars!

Being famous is beneficial.

Two superstars with little culture understand this.

Otherwise, it’s almost March now, why are they still eagerly waiting for Yin Jun to give them the script?

If it were someone else who had no pursuit, they would have already started desperately accepting movies.

If you make a movie every two to three months, you can make at least three movies a year. Plus other income from advertising and endorsements, you can earn at least 20 million per year. What a considerable amount of money!

As for the producer, I’m talking specifically about Bruckheimer.

Bruckheimer produced the first and second installments of "Beverly Hills Cop" back-to-back, which received deep critical acclaim.

He himself has also produced two movies in the past year. Although the box office results are not as impressive as "Beverly Hills Cop", each one can earn the company more than 10 million US dollars in net profit. This is obviously very rare.

Of course, these two movies are not part of the "5-year, 6-movie" contract that is being signed, but Bruckheimer likes the current atmosphere of the Kirin Group very much, so after the company applied for funds, he went all out to produce, and then Production and distribution are all handed over to United Artists Films, and the cooperative relationship is very close.

United Artists Film Company also knows that Yin Jun has trained Bruckheimer as a future gold medal producer, so it also attaches great importance to him, especially when every one of his films makes money.

For such an excellent producer, if you don't give him a big and challenging production, it would be a waste of his talent.

As for the director, of course he also refers to James Cameron.

Although many people think that James Cameron is not that outstanding, Tang Shuxuan is definitely not included among these people.

Because Tang Shuxuan believed in Yin Jun.

As long as it's someone Yin Jun likes, there's nothing wrong with it.

What's more, Yin Jun personally told Tang Shuxuan that James Cameron will become a super director in the future, comparable to Spielberg.

Tang Shuxuan was shocked when he heard this.

What is the concept of being comparable to Spielberg?

Absolutely one of the top five film directors in the world!

Which of these great directors would not treat them like a treasure?

If it is firmly bound to the Kirin Group, how much reputation and glory will this bring to the Kirin Group?

It is precisely because of this that when James Cameron asked to make his own experimental film, even if the production cost was increased from 10 million to 15 million US dollars, Tang Shuxuan did not hesitate to approve it.

Then the current box office is not good, and Cameron is still a little embarrassed, but Tang Shuxuan told him to keep filming, as long as you want to do it, just do it.

For a new Spielberg, it doesn't matter no matter how much you lose!

Tang Shuxuan's attitude was indeed appreciated by Cameron, so he hurriedly started filming again just to make the company make money and wash away the humiliation of his failure.

Tang Shuxuan understands all of the above people very well.

But she ignored Tom Hanks, whom Yin Jun paid more attention to.

Regarding Tom Hanks, Yin Jun only said that he is an excellent actor, but did not say that he will be one of the greatest movie stars in the history of Hollywood acting.

After a group of golden generation superstars such as Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Das Dinh Hoffman have bowed out, this one is the one who can best hold up the banner of Mesozoic actors.

Like other acting superstars, Tom Hanks is not only extremely talented, but also very good at learning and figuring out, and is an absolute experiential person.

Let's just say that in order to play the role of Forrest Gump well, he spent half a year living and eating with a mentally retarded group, so that he could play the role perfectly.

And Tom Hanks is very capable of being lonely.

More than a year has passed since Yin Jun signed him. United Artists Film Company has already let him star in 5 movies, all of which were small roles. He didn't complain at all, but took it seriously. Played every role well.

In the two recent movies, the director was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to add scenes to him to praise his seriousness and hard work.

Juvenile will definitely not let Tom Hanks go from a supporting role to a protagonist all at once, especially a protagonist like Forrest Gump who pins Yin Jun's Oscar for Best Director hopes.

Therefore, Yin Jun specially prepared a classic for Tom Hanks in 1983.

A super classic that can be said to be in the top ten in Hollywood history.

Not only Tom Hanks, the boy also found him the most suitable partner, which can be regarded as introducing another superstar to the Kirin Group.

A superstar with an enchanting charm.

This superstar, who was still in his teenage years, has now arrived in Hollywood, which is when Yin Jun recruited him.

Come back to the present.

While talking, Yin Jun took out a thick stack of scripts from his briefcase and handed it to Tang Shuxuan.

Tang Shuxuan took the script with both hands with a smile on her face, "I finally understand how people like Liang Shuyi, Qiu Degen, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun felt when they got your script. This is called peace of mind!"

After weighing the script, Tang Shuxuan was a little surprised, "It seems like a lot! How many scripts do you have in total?"

"Six, three per company." Yin Jun said, "In addition to these, there is also "Back to the Future" produced by Spielberg, which is for Disney. And I will also direct a movie this year, even if it is in the United Let’s go to Art Movies. Calculating it this way, plus the sequel series of those movies in the previous two years, their basic structure should be in place.”

"Not bad."

Tang Shuxuan burst into laughter, "Ajun, tell me honestly, do you feel a little unhappy that you won't win the Oscar for Best Director, so you plan to make another classic to shock them?"

"Are classics so easy to get? If a classic could be produced casually, I would definitely have produced it long ago and asked those old men to award me the award immediately." Yin Jun shrugged, showing the necessary humility before the movie came out. Still have to have it.

"I can't say for others, but if you shoot it, it must be a classic." Tang Shuxuan said, "As long as you want to, you can shoot a classic."

When he said this, Tang Shuxuan's face was full of piety.

Anyone in this industry has never doubted Yin Jun's screenwriting ability.

The closer you are to Yin Jun, the more you will admire Yin Jun's genius. There is nothing more exciting than watching Yin Jun create miracles right before your eyes.

Tang Shuxuan is one of them.

If you want to say that Yin Jun is very successful in writing scripts that are in line with Asian movie viewing concepts, then that's fine.

But when Yin Jun came to the United States, the books and scripts he wrote were all in line with the preferences of European and American people. This is something that only a genius can do.

"Thank you for your kind words." Yin Jun could only smile modestly, "I can guarantee that this story is very interesting, but not so boring."

"Speaking of which, you have made three movies now. Except for the first one, "Speed ​​of Life and Death," the other two are both literary and artistic films." Tang Shuxuan asked, "Looking at you, the fourth movie is still a literary and artistic film. , right? Aren’t you ready to focus on business? You are the boss of the company and you need to make money, right? "

Yin Jun smiled brightly, "Who said artistic films can't make money? I've made money from all the films I've made, right? Those who insist on saying that art can't make money are just idiots. They don't understand what real art is... ours Didn’t our ancestors say it a long time ago? Appreciation by both refined and popular people is the highest realm! Only art that can be understood by ordinary people is the real art."

"right!"

Tang Shuxuan couldn't help but clapped her hands, "Ajun, I completely agree with your concept! No wonder you succeeded. Based on this idea, you should be a film master, a real film master! !”
