Chapter 1380: Coffee Position and Pay

In fact, not only Chow Yun-fat, but also most of the Hong Kong movie stars have starred in so many bad movies in the past few decades. Most of them can't blame others. They can only blame themselves for treating money above everything else.

It's also because they have too much uneasiness in their hearts. They want to make money when they can, and they dare to do it in any crazy way.

For example, Andy Lau was filming 9 movies at the same time, and Zheng Yuling also filmed 11 movies at once, known as the eleventh sister.

These days, who hasn’t gone blind or made a few bad movies?

Among all the movie stars who have received bad movies, Louis Koo is the one who has been criticized the least.

Because most of his salary was used for charity to build primary schools and dormitories.

In this way, it is not easy for others to scold him, because Goo Jai does not take a small amount of his salary to do charity, but at least 70% of it goes out. This is a very awesome thing, and it completely occupies the moral high ground.

Compared with acting in bad movies and such charity, it is not on the same level at all.

"So after Fa Ge went bankrupt, there were fewer people willing to pay him to film movies?" Yin Jun asked.

"No." Zhong Chuhong said with a bitter smile, "After he came back from the United States, because he almost won the Oscar, more people were looking for him than before. But because he failed to make it in three movies, they only paid him 1 million to 2 million, not even more than 3 million. It is impossible for Fa Ge to accept such a low salary!"

Yin Jun can understand this.

The actors all have their own niche.

If there are no special circumstances, generally there will only be price increases and no price decreases.

Once you arbitrarily lower your prices in order to make money, your quality will directly drop in the eyes of others.

For example, what's going on with Zhou Runfa? If the majestic Cannes best actor and Oscar-nominated actor accepts a movie with a salary of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, will anyone be willing to pay him a high price in the future?

If he accepted it, wouldn't he be no different from an ordinary star in terms of status?

Your overall personal level, in people's minds, is also down a notch.

The reputation I worked so hard to build was completely ruined!

Even the advertising costs cannot be raised.

Unless it's a literary film that doesn't care about box office, then even if you don't get paid to star in it, others won't say anything.

But commercial movies must be like this.

"There are not many screenwriters in Xiangjiang who can write good scripts." Zhong Chuhong said, "The ones from Xinyi City are one group, and the imperial screenwriters from Jiahe are also one group. But their styles are not suitable for Fa Ge. Yicheng's films are more funny and messy, while Golden Harvest emphasizes action films and requires a solid foundation."

"So he wants to come to me again?" Yin Jun said a little funny, "I remember the last "Prison." It was the same, right? He said that his movie was not very popular, and he wanted to make a breakthrough , I gave him the film "Prison". And then I also gave him "The Shawshank Redemption". Is that enough?"

"What? You don't want to help?" Zhong Chuhong rolled his eyes at his man, "Brother Fa is so good to me! He is also a good person and respects you very much! Although you are the big boss, if there is a world-level You are a big star who has always been respectful to you and promoted your good name outside. What’s wrong with that?”

Yin Jun smiled and nodded.

Zhou Runfa is indeed a good person.

He is superb in acting, low-key, and can donate most of his property to charity. There are not many people like him in Hong Kong.

Although the difference between him and Goo Jai is that he only donated his property after his death, while Goo Jai went to build a school after making money and was willful when he had money, but Zhou Runfa is also worthy of respect.

Celebrities usually ask too much from society and receive too little in return, so they have little popularity.

If everyone repays society like Goo Jai, celebrities will be absolutely positive energy.

By the way, there is also sister Zhiling.

She received too much criticism for that horse-falling accident, but people donated tens of millions without saying a word to repair schools in impoverished mountainous areas. Only then did a charity organization take a picture of her and reveal it.

That's how good it is.

Sister Zhiling gained countless fans in an instant. Even if she talks more in the future, people will not say anything and think she is cute.

Back to Zhou Runfa.

In the previous life, artists in Xiangjiang were famous for their loud mouths. When Zhou Runfa was young, he was also a bohemian and blurted out a lot of violent words.

In this life, because of Yin Jun, Zhou Runfa never said anything wrong with the mainland.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhou Runfa and Baodao was very tense. Several movies that he was originally asked to star in were rejected because of this, but he has not changed.

In this way, Zhou Runfa can be regarded as Yin Jun's direct descendant.

Not to mention his relationship with Zhong Chuhong.

"Hey, why don't you talk!" Zhong Chuhong muttered, "You can agree if they come to you. Do you start to care about them after they come to you one more time?"

The young man was very smart and knew immediately that Zhong Chuhong was talking about Zhao Yazhi.

Zhao Yazhi approached Yin Jun about Di Long.

Yin Jun then gave Di Long a movie called "Wind Rescue". As a result, Di Long suddenly became famous with this drama.

Especially in the elevator, the scene where the trigger is pulled continuously and the human trafficker is beaten with holes all over his body is even more satisfying and exhilarating.

As a result, Di Long once again became a first-line star. Recently, he collaborated with Golden Harvest in a shootout film, which also did very well at the box office and was very popular.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong looking angry, Yin Jun shrugged unconsciously, "I didn't say no, but you have to tell me clearly what happened today and the whole ins and outs, so that I can talk to Brother Fa later. Let’s communicate?”

Hearing what Yin Jun said, Zhong Chuhong felt happy, and immediately raised his head and gave Yin Jun a mouthful, and then spoke in a low voice.

As Yin Jun imagined, it’s not that Zhou Runfa can’t find a script, but that his current status is very different and he can no longer work in low-budget movies - the previous three blockbuster movies, if he were in After he gets an Oscar nomination, he might not even be willing to accept it.

However, there are very few films in Hong Kong that can carry Chow Yun-fat's status.

It has to be a movie by a star of the caliber of Cheng Long, Fei Xiang, and Eddie Murphy to be able to compare with him.

Zhou Runfa is different from the three people above.

Cheng Long is Jiahe's pillar, and Jiahe spends at least 60% of his efforts on Cheng Long.

Eddie Murphy is originally an American, and now he has been developing in Hollywood for a long time. He has transformed from a Hong Kong superstar into a world-class star.

Fei Xiang is of mixed race and is naturally liked by others. Even if he goes to perform an opera on Broadway, news has spread that Yin Jun has found him again in a script in Hollywood, allowing him to embark on the journey of commercial movies again.

Looking at the situation of these three superstars at the same level as himself, Zhou Runfa certainly understood that he still had to rely on Yin Jun and let Yin Jun point out a way for him, so that he could break through himself and stop being a box office poison.

It's just that Zhou Runfa really couldn't say this.

Because Yin Jun gave him two super classics "Prison" and "Shawshank Redemption" in one go.

In particular, "The Shawshank Redemption" not only won Best Actor at Cannes, but it also made it to the Oscars for the first time, winning him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. This is a huge achievement.

When the news came back to Xiangjiang, which person in Xiangjiang didn't praise Zhou Runfa?

Which actor doesn't envy and hate Chow Yun-fat?

As the first Xiangjiang actor to be nominated for an Oscar, the biggest benefits have been obtained by Zhou Runfa. Now you still want to ask Mr. Jun to give you another big commercial production?

Why are you so thick-skinned?

So Zhou Runfa was very distressed.

Chen Yulian saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She also knew Zhou Runfa's difficulties, so she had no choice but to step forward again and shamelessly asked Zhong Chuhong for help.

Then when she got home, she didn't say anything about it yet. She only said that Yin Jun had returned to Xiangjiang and Zhong Chuhong brought him as a guest.

Therefore, Zhou Runfa, who is currently concentrating on displaying his cooking skills in the kitchen, is actually completely unaware.

He wasn't even going to mention it to Yin Jun today, at least he would have to wait until a few days before mentioning it.

…

Listening to Zhong Chuhong talking about all this, Yin Jun had concerns in his heart.

When they were sitting at the dinner table, that is, the four of them, Hutou ate first and was taken to play by the servant. This also shows Chen Yulian's thoughts.

"Come on, Mr. Jun. I don't even have the chance to thank you properly in the United States." Zhou Runfa first picked up a glass of 20 taels of white wine and said respectfully: "You are what made Zhou Runfa what he is today, Mr. Jun. I Done, thank you!"

As he said that, he drank it all in one gulp, and almost didn't choke because he drank so quickly.

But Chen Yulian didn't say anything to him. After all, Yin Jun had given Zhou Runfa such a great honor, and it was the minimum etiquette to toast him with a glass of wine.

"Brother Fa, you're welcome."

Yin Jun took a sip of his drink in return.

After experiencing the absurdity of Oscar night, he is determined not to drink anymore, even red wine and champagne are included.

Otherwise, if something happens again, it will be really bad.

"Come, come, eat! Talk while eating!" Chen Yulian still felt sorry for her husband and greeted her hurriedly.

Yin Jun was not in a hurry to speak and slowly followed them to eat.

Zhou Runfa's cooking skills are not very good, but the seafood feast this time was made with high-quality ingredients and tasted good, and the few of them ate it with great interest.

"Brother Fa, after you come back from the United States, what are you going to do recently?" Yin Jun asked seemingly casually while eating the shrimp peeled by Zhong Chuhong.

"What are you still busy with? Let's take a rest!" Zhou Runfa drank a lot of wine and said smoothly, "I haven't been feeling right about filming recently, so I'm going to stop for a while."

"I have heard about your frustrations in taking on roles before." Yin Jun said directly without any taboos: "For you, there is no problem with your acting skills. You need a high-quality script that can give full play to your advantages. "

Zhou Runfa perked up after hearing this, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips. Finally, Chen Yulian asked, "Master Jun, do you have a script suitable for our Ah Fa?"

"have!"

Under the expectant looks in their eyes, Yin Jun nodded without hesitation.

Zhou Runfa was overjoyed and said, "Master Jun, thank you! I'll toast you with another drink!"

"Me too! Thank you Master Jun for taking such good care of Ah Fa!" Chen Yulian also raised the red wine glass and drank it down after Zhou Runfa.

"Brother Fa, you don't even know what this book is, but it's so sure that you can use it to your fullest?" Yin Jun said with a smile.

"Master Jun, no matter what your script is, I, Zhou Runfa, will act in it!" Zhou Runfa said seriously.

This is also the truth in his heart.

With Yin Jun's script, literary and artistic films can receive supreme honors, and commercial films can receive a bumper harvest at the box office. No matter what, it is extremely beneficial.

Even if Yin Jun misses once, Zhou Runfa doesn't care.

Because of this, wouldn’t it be convenient to get Yin Jun’s better script next time?
