Chapter 139 More Successful than Expected! (Fourth More!)

Yin Jun only regards Zeng Yanqian as a little sister, just like Qiu Shuzhen and Wen Bixia.

But Guan Zhilin, a little vixen, would be difficult to be brother and sister with her.

It's not that Yin Jun's mind has changed, from just wanting to protect Guan Zhilin, to wanting to occupy this "Asian most beautiful woman" who is more and more beautiful, and will be more beautiful in the future.

Instead, during dinner with Wei Xiaofan and Dong Wei two days ago, Wei Xiaofan reminded Yin Jun, "Jun, are you and Xiaoguan talking about friends?"

"No." Yin Jun replied.

"Why don't you be so affectionate with her?" Wei Xiaofan said, "I know you love her very much, but a girl, if you don't care about her, you must not be too close, otherwise what do you want her to think? What do you think? After you find a girlfriend, what will Xiaoguan do? Will others think you abandoned her?"

"No way……"

"Why not? You are holding hands, so intimate, exactly the same as a couple, how can you say that you are brothers and sisters?" Wei Xiaofan said, "Listen to my brother, why don't you keep a little distance from her? You can just get along with Xiaoguan, anyway, except for her coddled personality, the rest is fine."

...

Recalling these words, and then looking at Guan Zhilin, who was watching a movie sweetly with her arms around her, Yin Jun sighed unconsciously.

If she wants to keep her away from herself, then Guan Zhilin promises to cry to herself immediately, and it is definitely a huge blow to her heart, which will bring immeasurable damage to her soul... To put it bluntly, many girls give up on themselves The beginning comes from this.

Finally back in 1978, Yin Jun was unwilling to see these beautiful stars like flowers, and those bad fates in the past, within the scope of his ability, he is willing to help them find a good home.

What's more, Guan Zhilin's relationship with herself is fundamentally different.

Their fates have been intertwined since Yin Jun was hit by Guan Zhilin's bicycle.

Not to mention that Yin Jun will never forget, when Yin Jun was about to leave Guan's house, Guan Zhilin's pitiful appearance in tears, and how she held all the money in her piggy bank to herself.

From that moment on, Yin Jun had already decided that all Wang Guojin and Liu Datou would get out of the way! Never try to hurt Jiahui again! ! In this life, she should have only happiness and no pain.

Because of this, Yin Jun regards her as the most important person in his life, so he is very close to her, and even with Guan Zhilin's closeness to himself, he doesn't feel any inappropriate.

But this kind of feeling is not love after all.

Wei Xiaofan's eyes are very poisonous, and he can see this.

If it was someone else, Wei Xiaofan just looked at it and didn't bother to care.

But Yin Jun is his little brother, of course Wei Xiaofan has to remind him that he must think carefully before making a decision, otherwise it will not only hurt Guan Zhilin, but also himself.

But at this time, how could Yin Jun switch Zhilin?

Absolutely impossible!

Yin Jun looked at Guan Zhilin, who was amused by the plot of the movie, and felt both joy and helplessness.

never mind.

Just do it.

If the girl grows up and has a man she loves deeply, then she will persuade her to leave and find her own happiness.

If she is still attached to herself like this, then...then she can only marry her.

For Yin Jun, who has never been in love, love and kinship are actually similar.

The girl is still so beautiful when she grows up. If it is her 2020 self, she can marry such an angelic beauty. I should be thankful for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. Where will there be any dissatisfaction?

Before you know it, the movie has ended.

Guan Zhilin, who was smiling wildly, noticed at this time that Yin Jun didn't smile much.

"Hey, Brother Jun, why do you look unhappy? Don't you think the play you wrote is not good-looking?" Guan Zhilin leaned on Yin Jun's body and asked naively.

"No." Looking at her charming and charming appearance, Yin Jun smiled and nodded her nose, "I wrote it myself, I know all the plots, what else can I expect?"

"But thinking in my mind, watching it in a movie theater is completely different!" Guan Zhilin pouted, but the next moment she kissed Yin Jun's face, "Brother Jun, you are great! No matter what script you write, You are all so beautiful~~ Jiahui loves you the most~~”

"Little sycophants!"

Yin Jun smiled, kissed her first, and then pulled her to stand up, "Let's go, let's have supper!"

With Wei Xiaofan's reminder, Yin Jun noticed it now, only to realize that Guan Zhilin's attachment to herself was all-round, and it was difficult to extricate herself.

Under such circumstances, he had the slightest intention to shirk estrangement, and Guan Zhilin could find that such consequences were not something Yin Jun was willing to bear, and he was even more unwilling to let Guan Zhilin bear it.

Therefore, Yin Juncai also kissed her as a warm response to her obsession.

"Hmm~"

Guan Zhilin didn't think so much, she smiled and walked out holding Yin Jun's arm, "Brother Jun, let's go to Wenhua Hotel for dessert, I invite you!"

"If you have money, it's a waste, you should be spanked!" Yin Jun said with a smile, but he didn't object.

"Oh, where do I have any money? My mother took away the salary for "Wulin Gaiden" and the advertising endorsement." Guan Zhilin was a little annoyed when she talked about this, "I only have "Wulin" now. After every seven episodes of "Wulin Gaiden", the red envelopes that Sister Ling sends us are usually only a few hundred dollars in their pockets!"

This girl is also used to being wealthy on weekdays, and she still has "only a few hundred yuan", doesn't she know that a few hundred yuan is usually a person's monthly salary?

However, Zhang Bingqian's concern for money was beyond Yin Jun's expectations.

After "Wulin Gaiden" sold for a sky-high price of 5 million yuan, Le Yiling was relatively generous to the leading and second-tier leading actors. For example, second-tier leading actors such as Guan Zhilin raised the price to 200 yuan per episode. She has a salary of 15,000 in "Wulin Biography".

In addition, Guan Zhilin's advertisement for Watsons was very successful, so I recently signed 3 more advertisements. After deducting all expenses, I earned a total of 110,000, which was also taken away by Zhang Bingqian.

Although she euphemistically claims to be keeping her daughter safe, according to Yin Jun's opinion, Zhang Bingqian is planning for the future life of herself, her son and her daughter, and now she must control all the money and be prepared.

Therefore, Guan Zhilin only has the red envelopes of "Wulin Gaiden", which are usually issued every seven episodes, which is about two or three hundred yuan. The money is not much, but it makes the actors very happy. After all, this is an extra income.

Unlike Yin Jun, who knew about Guan Zhilin in her previous life, although she doesn't have much money, she is always content and willing to spend money on Yin Jun, such as clothes, shoes, and ties. Guan Zhilin bought them for Yin Jun. , a look of fun in it.

Yin Jun had no way to refuse Guan Zhilin's kindness. He only told her that if he had no money, he would take it from himself. As a result, Guan Zhilin never took the initiative to ask Yin Jun for money.

If it was Guan Zhilin who was twenty years old in the previous life and asked a man for pocket money of 108,000 or 80,000, it would be a small case.

The Mandarin Hotel, which is the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the future, is also the place where Zhang Guorong in his previous life chose to end his life.

This hotel, which opened in 1963, is a leader in the hotel industry under the Landmark Consortium. In the eyes of many Hong Kong people, it has a different status and is basically on an equal footing with the Peninsula Hotel.

The reason why The Peninsula Hotel is famous in the eyes of people in the mainland is actually mostly because Shao Yifu and Lu Yuntao chose to have afternoon tea here, so the movie stars of Shaw Brothers and Dianmao also had afternoon tea here, and then it was again. TVB's TV stars chose to have afternoon tea here. After these TVB stars went out to perform a movie, they still had afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, so the Peninsula Hotel became famous with them.

Of course, The Peninsula Hotel itself is very famous and can be called the leader of the Xiangjiang hotel industry. In the dozens of annual selections, it has only lost to the Mandarin Hotel a few times, and it is the first in the rest of the time.

From this, when it comes to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which is the current Mandarin Hotel, it can compete with the Peninsula Hotel, and it is naturally very strong.

Its accommodation conditions and dining environment are not bad at all, and because it is located in Central, the most prosperous and expensive land in Hong Kong, many people here on Hong Kong Island prefer to come here for afternoon tea and meals .

The cost of Wenhua Hotel is not cheap. Yin Jun watched Guan Zhilin order a pot of milk tea and a cake set, which was more than 300 yuan, which is basically the salary of an ordinary person for 10 days.

Naturally, the people who come here cannot be ordinary people. Even after 9 p.m., there are still 60-70% of the attendance.

Today, Yin Jun specially invited Guan Zhilin to watch a movie together after filming is over.

This movie is "Ghost Fighting Ghost" written by Yin Jun and sold to Jiahe last month. Today is the fifth day of its release.

It has been a month since the script was sold to Golden Harvest in late August. According to the production speed of Xiangjiang Film, it has only started to be released, and it has been very carefully crafted.

According to several key jokes and scenes that Yin Jun watched, "Ghost Fighting Ghost" is at least twice as good-looking and refined as the original work in the previous life.

This is due to Yin Jun's credit. He made some adjustments to some unreasonable places in the original version, as well as places that were too hasty.

For example, Zhang Bold’s character is no longer that messy, sometimes bold, now timid, now irritable, and now indecisive. Although there are changes in the situation, in general, a person’s personality should be traced. It can be found, not like a sudden change of personality, which is unreasonable.

And the fighting style of the two senior brothers of Qian Zhenren and Xu Zhenren is also more exciting, including the fact that they learned art together and finally parted ways. It's abrupt and makes people feel very uncomfortable. Those who don't know it think that the two of them are mortal enemies.

On the other hand, the success of Jiahe is also due to Jiahe's dedication to making movies.

At present, Jiahe has not yet dug up the treasure of Cheng Long. For Hong Jinbao, who is the only one who has the possibility to wrestle with the Xu family brothers, he is naturally very supportive. All kinds of support are in place. In the scene and post-production processing, it also takes a lot of money. thought.

Many of the original Maoshan techniques in the previous life looked very naive and superficial. This time, a lot of effects have been added, and they still look a bit similar. Although they are not as powerful as the ghost movies that developed to their peak in the 1990s, considering that it is only 1978 Years, has been completely a work of conscience.

For the movie "Ghost Fighting Ghost", apart from Yin Jun's 1 million script fee, the salary and production costs alone reached more than 800,000, and then there are various promotions, which add up to almost 1 million, and the total The cost of 2 million is already considered a rare masterpiece in Hong Kong, second only to the production cost of the Xu brothers.

Then there is the theatrical release, Jiahe also tried his best.

Because "Sell. Body Contract" will be released at the end of August, and now there are no blockbusters in Jiahe Cinemas, it is natural to assign all 15 movie theaters to "Ghost Fighting Ghost".

Not only that, Golden Harvest also contacted 9 other independently operated cinemas to jointly premiere at 24 cinemas in one go. This is also a rare event in Hong Kong, and it is second only to the Xu brothers in the number of films.

It can be said that in addition to money, Jiahe's ambitions are also backlogged in "Ghost Fighting Ghost".

"Ghost Fighting Ghosts" naturally did not disappoint Jiahe. On the day of its premiere, it won a box office of 570,000. On the second day, after word of mouth fermented, another 500,000 was recorded at the box office, and it broke 1 million in two days.

On the third day, the box office continued to drop to 420,000. On the fourth day, because it was Friday, the box office rebounded to 430,000, so the total box office in the four days reached 1.92 million, which was stronger than the original "Wrong Seven Days of Love" which did not receive much support. Points, but not as good as "Sell. Body Deed", in this year's box office records, the four-day total score has directly ranked second.

However, the stamina of watching "Ghost Fighting Ghost" is not strong. After this weekend, I am afraid that the box office results may not reach 3 million, and then such a result, four weeks of release is already the limit.

And after the first week, it is unlikely that another 24 cinemas will jointly release, at most 15 cinemas of Golden Harvest, and even the 15 cinemas from the third week cannot be maintained.

No way, this is the natural law of movie release, and everyone's movie is like this. Unless you are particularly popular, this arrangement is already very kind.

If so, it should not be a big problem that the box office of "Ghost Fighting Ghost" in Hong Kong reaches 5 million.

Although this is a box office that only accumulated in about a month, others who want to show it for a month have no way to collect 5 million at the box office.

Jiahe is very satisfied with this start.

Even if the box office is 5 million, compared to the production cost of 2 million, it is just not a loss, but as long as the box office exceeds 5 million, then it is a net profit in other cities.

With Golden Harvest's distribution capabilities in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and the reputation they have accumulated, it is easy to earn 3-4 million.

A single movie can make a net profit of 3-4 million. This is already a very good achievement in Xiangjiang in 1978. There are not 10 films that can achieve such results in a year.

Usually other movies can't make money back in Hong Kong, and then rely on other cities to make a little bit more. The general rate of return is 20%-50%, but considering that the production cycle of a movie is only about 1 month, in fact, this is The return on capital is already very good.

In this era, in fact, the most profitable film company is Shaw Brothers.

Because they only pay the movie stars a fixed salary, at most they can sell it and add some red envelopes. Because they are poorly made and use a lot of set models, a movie can be done with 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and basically they can earn back their money in Xiangjiang. Then, through the Shaw Brothers Cinemas branch in Nanyang, as well as the connection with Japan, South Korea and Baodao, basically every movie can earn more than 1 million yuan, and if you make thirty or forty movies a year, you can earn five More than 10 million, plus the rake of other people's movies, etc., at least 40 to 50 million, and a profit of about 100 million every year, which can be called a huge profit.

It's just that Shaw Brothers' good days are not many. When the Golden Princess Cinema line raises the flag and the Xinyicheng Film Company is established, Shaw Brothers will immediately kneel.

When Yongsheng is established again in a few years, Shaw Brothers will basically disappear, and even its own theater chain will be transferred to Pan Gongzi.

For the time being, I will ignore this matter.

With such achievements, Zou Wenhuai also made a special phone call to thank Yin Jun, and wanted to reserve the script for the second movie. The price is still 1 million yuan, which is not capped.

Ordinary people, if faced with such a big money temptation, would have already agreed long ago.

But Yin Jun said that this year, he has no time and energy to write a new script. If Jiahe needs it, he will give one next year.

When Zou Wenhuai talked to Cai Yongchang, he smiled wryly and shook his head. This kind of person who doesn't care about money is really rare.

But they didn't know that Yin Jun just didn't want the pattern of the film company to change so quickly.

If Jiahe spared no expense to ask Yin Jun to write the script, then they would have a box-office champion film every few months, and it would not take long for them to become more and more powerful and attract more movie elites to enter. own company, and thus a larger scale to develop rapidly.

There are only so many talents in Xiangjiang Film. If Jiahe takes the lead early, then Shaw Brothers will decline faster, and Xinyicheng may not be able to rise. There are too many uncontrollable factors.

Even if Yin Jun is willing to support Jiahe, it will have to wait until the 1980s when the heroes are fighting for hegemony.

At that time, it was time for Hong Kong Films to make efforts to go to the world stage!
