Chapter 1392 Don’t Waste Talents

What a movie fears most is mediocrity.

An ordinary plot, an uneventful process, and uncharacteristic performances... if these are all the same, the movie will not be able to achieve good results.

Especially for a commercial movie, there is no fear of you making mistakes or problems with your logic. As long as you have particularly outstanding advantages, then it is a good movie.

How many plots in Stephen Chow's comedy movies can be logically explained?

Isn’t the so-called nonsensical just messing around?

But Zhou Xingchi made the movie so good that it made people laugh until their stomachs ached, so people remembered the more prominent advantages instead of the insignificant shortcomings.

So Zhou Xingchi is the king of comedy.

But on the other hand, why didn't Zhou Xingchi become a comedy master like Chaplin?

I'm afraid the problem lies in the weakness of the plot.

Chaplin's movies make people laugh amidst tears, laugh amidst tears, and have extremely profound social themes, so he became a great master.

It's not that Zhou Xingchi doesn't want to break through, his "The King of Comedy" is heading in this direction.

It's a pity that the audience didn't buy it very much, or the audiences of that era were not very adaptable to Zhou Xingchi's changes. The box office of "The King of Comedy" was very bad, so after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xingchi finally failed to take that step.

This is probably Zhou Xingchi’s lifelong regret.

Because after that, Zhou Xingchi's filmmaking speed slowed down rapidly.

From one movie every two years to one every three years, I stopped making movies altogether and became a producer and director.

When Yin Jun was making this album, he once lamented, thinking that if given the chance, Zhou Xingchi should actually continue on.

In this life, I never thought that I would have this opportunity to meet Zhou Xingchi before he debuted.

In this case, there is a good chance that I can re-cultivate a comedy master as great as Chaplin.

Of course, Zhou Xingchi is the future, and the two people in front of him are also the future.

Although Hong Jinbao is older than Zhou Xingchi, his fighting spirit is beyond the reach of Zhou Xingchi.

More than ten years after Stephen Chow retired from the film industry and stopped acting, Hung Kam-bao is still struggling on the front line. Like his junior brother Cheng Long, he has become a role model in the film industry.

Yuan Biao's fighting spirit is equally strong. Although he no longer has a particularly prominent performance in movies, he still continues to act in mainland TV series.

In addition, as a martial arts instructor, he has also been contributing in movies, but because these behind-the-scenes personnel are not very visible, everyone does not know much about them.

Yin Jun is now supporting Yuan Biao to work hard on the front line, but what he didn't expect is that Hong Jinbao has gradually withdrawn from the front line in the past two years.

After watching it several times over the past two years, Hung Kam-po's most striking film is still the role of a private detective in "The Food Truck". It doesn't have the ferocious momentum of one good film after another in his previous life.

Speaking of which, Hong Jinbao's "decadentity" is also due to Yin Jun.

Because Yin Jun handed over "Mr. Zombie" to Hung Kam-bao in advance, and Hung Kam-bao gave it to Lin Zhengying to star, direct and produce.

Originally, "Mr. Zombie" belonged to Lin Zhengying in his previous life, so he alone controlled this sign, and there was no question of whether he would be worthy of Hung Kam-po if he acted alone.

But the copyright of "Mr. Zombie" in this life belongs to Baohe Films and Hong Jinbao.

Hung Kam-po was very generous at critical times. After the success of the first part of "Mr. Zombie", he immediately increased the share ratio to Lin Zhengying, and even gave Lin Zhengying shares in the film company after the second part.

Lin Zhengying could get tens of millions in dividends from just one episode of "Mr. Zombie". Such huge profits, as well as Hung Kam-bao's continuous improvement in salary, allowed him to stay safely at Baohe Company without going anywhere.

"Mr. Zombie" belongs to Hung Kam-bao. Since Lin Zhengying can get tens of millions in dividends, Hung Kam-bao will naturally earn more.

Now there is "The Raid", which has been produced since last year. In the past two years, Hung Kam-bao has been working mostly behind the scenes. The movie in which he is the protagonist is only one in 1981.

Even so, Hung Kam-bao's annual income and profit exceeded HK$50 million.

Tell me, with so much money, how could he have the heart to work hard to be the protagonist in a movie about killing people?

Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with Hong Jinbao doing this.

But how could Yin Jun let him go?

Although Hong Jinbao is a fat man, he is also "the most flexible fat man in the world."

There are still so many classics that originally belonged to him that have not been released. How could he just retire?

Therefore, this morning Yin Juncai and Zou Wenhuai brought up the idea of ​​continuing their cooperation, targeting Hong Jinbao.

In the eyes of future generations, what is Hung Kam-bao's most famous movie?

Without even thinking about it, I just blurted out the "Five Lucky Stars Series".

This series of films, which completely established Hung Kam-bao's status as a superstar, is the Kung Fu comedy that brothers Hung Kam-bao and Cheng Lung are best at.

Hong Jinbao also added very fashionable and modern elements to it, so the Five Lucky Stars series is more relevant to life and more beautiful.

If the audience likes it, the box office will naturally be high.

The first episode of the Five Lucky Stars series was released and became the box office champion in Hong Kong that year.

Several films were made in a row, and the box office was very high.

As a result, in the first few years of the 1980s, Hong Jinbao's status was actually higher than that of Cheng Long.

It's just that later on, Hong Jinbao's production team was not as powerful as Cheng Long, and he didn't do his best to support Jiahe, so he slowly fell behind Cheng Long.

Yin Jun's Chinese film career is now in need of someone to take over the country, and Hung Kam-bao naturally needs to contribute his own strength.

As for whether Hong Jinbao is willing or not, Yin Jun is not worried at all.

Hong Jinbao is greedy for money, and he can become a top-notch action star. Do you think he can refuse such a temptation?

Definitely not.

So after Yin Jun chatted for a few words about the script and setting of "The Raid 2", he turned the conversation to Hung Kam-bao.

"Brother Sanbao, do you have any plans recently?" the young man asked.

"Oh, Brother Ying's "Mr. Zombie 3" will be released soon. I have to go everywhere for distribution and some cooperation matters." Hong Jinbao said, "When I finish "Mr. Zombie 3", Ah Biao here The preparations for "The Raid 2" are about to begin. In the first episode of the last time, the physical fitness of the three of them was not in the best condition. I am preparing the second part to give them a breakthrough. It must be better than the first one. Attract more movie fans."

"Where's your own movie?"

"Well……"

Hong Jinbao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm so busy, how can I have time to make my own movie? Besides, I can't find a good book for a while..."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Yin Jun's smiling face, and he felt that it was a blessing to his soul, so he blurted out: "Master Jun, do you have a good book to take care of me?"

"right!"

Yin Jun nodded.

Hong Jinbao had no extravagant hope that he could get the script from Yin Jun. Suddenly, when he heard such an accurate answer, he felt a sense of happiness covering his whole body.

"My script? A script in which I am the protagonist?" In order to avoid mishearing, Hung Kam-bao stared into Yin Jun's eyes and asked again word for word.

"Yes! You are the protagonist." Yin Jun thought for a moment and added, "If it is shot well, it will be much more popular than the movie Biao Ge."

"What!?"

Hong Jinbao was overjoyed.

Yin Jun's character is extremely good and he never tells lies or lies.

Not to mention that Yin Jun himself is the best screenwriter in the world. If he says this script works, then it will definitely work.

What kind of movie is "The Raid"?

Now no one dares to doubt whether "The Raid" can break through the box office of 400 million Hong Kong dollars. The 500 million box office is what it should challenge!

Yin Jun said that the new movie can be better than "The Raid", doesn't he still have to hope for a box office of 600 million?

A movie with a global box office of over HK$600 million, what does Hung Kam-bao mean to him! ? What does it mean for Baohe Company? !

It was completely to send him Hong Jinbao to heaven in one step!

Thinking of this, Hong Jinbao immediately poured a glass of wine, and just like Yuan Biao just did, he stood up and drank it all in one gulp, "Young Master Jun, I won't say any more. I, Sanmao, will remember your goodness for the rest of my life!"

Yuan Biao looked at this scene without any jealousy in his heart.

Originally, Hong Jinbao was stronger than him, and his relationship with Yin Jun was much better than him.

Moreover, Young Master Jun said just now that there would be a script for him later, so he would be very satisfied.

In fact, he is still happy for Hong Jinbao.

This senior is a very talented person. If he can work hard and become a super superstar, that would be great!

"I talked about this movie with Mr. Zou this morning." When Hung Jinbao sat down, Yin Jun said slowly, "This time it is just like "The Raid", it is still a three-way cooperation between us. What you have to do is to work hard to make it do the best!"

When Hong Jinbao heard this, his face suddenly fell.

With the experience of "The Raid", now that Yin Jun has said that the new movie is ready, he is ready to go it alone.

Unexpectedly, Yin Jun settled down with Zou Wenhuai so early that he had no way to refute or refuse.

At his level, there is absolutely no room for bargaining with the two major film companies.

Thinking that his profits were reduced by tens of millions, Hong Jinbao felt depressed.

Yin Jun knew what he was thinking at a glance, "Brother Sanmao, don't just think that we have to share your benefits. Even in Hollywood, the best directors and producers have to rely on the seven giants and have to exert their best efforts. Only the spirit of cooperation can lead to success! With the distribution and production capabilities of Jiahe and Qilin Films, this film will only do better and have greater influence! The cake will be bigger, and everyone will have more Benefits, don’t you think?”

Hong Jinbao smiled coquettishly, "I didn't think so, Mr. Jun, don't get me wrong. I was just wondering whether the two companies would give me some restrictions, which would make it difficult for me to perform."

Of course he refused to tell the truth, which would definitely offend people.

But what he is talking about now is indeed a little worried about him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zou also said that it's still the same as this time, you control the whole process, we are only responsible for the post-production and distribution." Yin Jun said, "But what I am worried about is, Brother Sanmao, your future There are so many things to do in a year, will there be no energy for hype..."

"Yes! I have it!"

Hong Jinbao was startled, and hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Master Jun, I have time and energy, I will definitely do it well!"

What a joke.

If he misses Yin Jun's script because of this, Hong Jinbao will regret it and hit the wall.

Now he suddenly understood that it was already good to get the book, make a good movie, and become rich and famous. Why should he have to swallow all the benefits?

The result of overeating is indigestion! !
