Chapter 1442: Only with Big Production and Big Investment Can We Win?

"The royal senior sister originally took the female police fighting route, which requires strong martial arts skills. In this regard, Hui Yinghong and Yang Xiaoxing are more suitable." Faced with the doubts of the Xiang brothers, Yin Jun said, "And their appearance, It’s not bad, she has a heroic spirit that other female stars don’t have, and on this aspect, she is easily recognized by the audience.”

After a pause, he added, "Don't think that you have to be a beautiful woman to become the heroine of a movie... As long as the movie itself is good and the heroine is suitable for the role, then the movie will be brilliant."

Saying this, Yin Jun had strong self-confidence on his face, which made the Xiang family brothers see that they had already gained a sense of confidence.

At this time, they were already somewhat shaken in their judgment.

In terms of movies, who dares to say that he knows better than Yin Jun?

Even the big directors in Hollywood would probably not dare to say that! ?

Anyone Yin Jun likes will have a very good development in the film industry.

If you have to fight against Yin Jun's judgment, there is really no guarantee whether it will succeed or not.

"Then choose Hui Yinghong!" Xiang Huaqiang weighed it up and made a decision.

He happened to work hard in the Hong Kong film industry as a star, and he knew both Hui Yinghong and Yang Xiaoqing quite well.

In terms of appearance, Huiyinghong is still better.

Besides, the relationship between Hui Yinghong and Yin Jun should be better - everyone knows exactly where Chuck Ce's "Jinyiwei" script came from.

Sure enough, after saying Hui Yinghong's name to Hua Qiang, Yin Jun stopped talking.

"Master Jun, you also know that we don't trust books written by others." Xiang Huasheng pleaded from the side, "Since you said that this "Royal Senior Sister" can be made into five or six episodes, at least the first three episodes It’s up to you to check the script, okay?”

Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng now know the importance of a script.

Especially after experiencing success and setbacks, we value it even more.

"good."

Yin Jun did not refuse and readily agreed.

When he returned, he planned to throw his plot outline to Huang Bingyao, the police officer who killed Scissor Kicks and is now the leader of the third screenwriting team of Qilin Culture.

If it is gold, it must shine.

Although Huang Bingyao joined Qilin Culture not long ago, he has already written many screenplays. His efforts have been included in previous films such as "Mr. Zombie", "Fast Truck", and "The King of Flowers".

In addition to promotions, the dividends given to him from these movies alone exceeded 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which made a group of screenwriters jealous.

In fact, the screenwriting team of Qilin Culture, whether they are comic screenwriters, TV screenwriters, or movie screenwriters, are the most envied group of screenwriters in Xiangjiang, and even film workers.

As long as they pass the test and can work seriously, Qilin Culture's screenwriters will have a monthly salary of at least 20,000, plus half-year bonuses, year-end bonuses, dividends, etc., which will not be less than 300,000-500,000 a year.

The highest ones are of course the top screenwriters like Huang Bingyao, who can make 3-5 million a year without any problem.

But the salary they receive is based on performance. If you are not convinced, you can make a better script, and you will definitely get more.

Simple jealousy and bad words will definitely be eliminated once discovered.

The screenwriters of Qilin Culture only pay attention to ability and ignore everything else.

Yin Jun did not specifically take care of Huang Bingyao and want to give him a script for a hit series, but it was just because the previous and current scripts were all written by Huang Bingyao in the past life.

Since it was all written by him, it would be best for him to supplement and improve it for Yin Jun.

At most, Yin Jun would be the one to check things out in the end.

But the possibility of Huang Bingyao messing up the script is too small.

In his previous life, Wong Bing-yao was around, and Hung Kam-bao was the number one big brother in the Hong Kong film industry.

After Huang Bingyao passed away, Hung Kam-bao could no longer find a good script, so he was constantly surpassed by Cheng Long and gradually became lonely.

It can be seen from here that a top screenwriter is really not much more important than a top star.

The most important script was finished. Xiang Huaqiang obviously relaxed a little. He took a sip of champagne and asked with a smile: "As for the director, Mr. Jun, do you have any suggestions?"

"Yuan Kui!" Yin Jun replied smoothly.

The first episode of Past Life was directed by Yuan Kui, and the effect was very good. It can be said to be the most outstanding episode.

"Yuan Kui..." Xiang Huasheng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's choose him!"

Yuan Kui in this life is much more famous than in the previous life.

First of all, he was the executive director of "Speed", and then he directed "The Rescue" himself, which achieved great success at the box office and reputation, and he is already a first-class director in Hong Kong.

Seeing that Yin Jun had almost finished his lemonade, Xiang Huaqiang filled Yin Jun's water and said, "Master Jun, actually I'm inviting you to dinner this time. Apart from the script, I have something that I don't understand." It’s a difficult problem, I wonder if I can ask you for advice!”

"Please tell me!" Yin Jun raised his hand and said.

"We are people who have experienced the glory and loneliness of Shaw Brothers, so we have learned a lot from it and learned a lot of lessons." Xiang Huaqiang said, "The success of Shaw Brothers lies in the work of Mr. Shao Liu. Gang was dictatorial and concentrated resources to create movies, thus creating the glory of Shaw Brothers in the 1950s and 1960s.

But the failure of Shaw Brothers lies precisely in the attitude of the studios. They didn't pay much attention to celebrities and famous actors, so they successively led to a series of talent losses. Including Mr. Zou Wenhuai, Mr. He Guanchang, Li Xiaolong, Xu Guanwen and other great talents, they finally met you, Mr. Jun, and accelerated their destruction. "

When Xiang Huaqiang mentioned Li Xiaolong, there was no special expression on his face.

But Yin Jun knew that Xiang Huaqiang's idol was Li Xiaolong, and the first wife he married was named Ding Pei. Li Xiaolong died in Ding Pei's bedroom that year.

"We really like the way you make your own movies, Mr. Jun." Xiang Hua said forcefully, "We feel that only by using big stars and big productions to make a movie can it really be liked by more people. So the three movies so far We all do this in movies. But the results are good and bad. What I’m confused about now is, is it right to go the route of big investment? Is it because no one else can take this route except you, Mr. Jun? ?"

Yin Jun suddenly felt ashamed.

He knows his own things.

If it weren't for the experience and information from his previous life, how could he have made all the movies with big investments?

Now others think that Yin Jun relies on large investment and large production to sweep the global box office. This is an obvious illusion.

"Kirin Films made a total of 25 movies last year, of which only 8 had an investment of more than 10 million, and 3 of them had an investment of more than 20 million." Yin Jun took out the data to analyze, "This shows that a film company , there is definitely a need for high, middle and low level movies to cater to movie fans from all walks of life.

The same is true for United Artists Film Company and Disney Company in the United States. Two-thirds of their movies are made with small investments. You can see that they have a lot of box office and revenue, but it's just because those with big investments are more conspicuous.

Therefore, if Yongsheng Films wants to make films, it cannot just rely on big productions to sustain itself. Otherwise, if one film fails, it will bring huge losses. If two or three films fail, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of losses will easily lead to the company's bankruptcy. You also need to go down and make some small-scale films. "

"But if it's a small production, it's not necessarily guaranteed to be profitable, right?" Xiang Huasheng couldn't help but interject.

‘I can give you some advice in this regard. Yin Jun said with a smile, "If you want to make a profit from a small-scale movie, it's best to make a comedy." As long as there is a good script and a good director team, even if the actors are not so famous, they can achieve high returns with a small cost. "

"That's right, but how can it be so easy to get a good script?" Xiang Huaqiang sighed.

"This matter cannot be rushed," Yin Jun said, "The screenwriters in Xiangjiang are now much better off than before. If more talented people can join, there will definitely be more good scripts in the film market."

"It can only be like this." Xiang Huaqiang said helplessly.

Although he failed to achieve his goal, Xiang Huaqiang is now very grateful to Yin Jun.

Originally, the two companies were in a certain degree of competition, but when Yin Jun faced his problem, he did not hide it and actively explained the pros and cons to him to prevent them from falling into huge losses due to large investments. .

People say that Yin Jun is as gentle as jade, which is really true!

…

Sitting in the car on the way back, Zhong Chuhong suddenly asked Yin Jun, "When they asked you about your strategy just now, why did you put yourself in their shoes so much?"

Yin Jun couldn't help laughing, "Did you hear everything?"

"Nonsense, I'm not deaf." Zhong Chuhong rolled his eyes at Yin Jun, "And I don't understand. Isn't Yongsheng Company our competitor? Including Jiahe and Xinyi City, but you keep giving me notebooks Do they think they earn too much?"

"There is only one reason." Yin Jun said harmoniously: "These companies are very serious about making movies. Since they are willing to do it seriously, of course I have to support them! You don't really think that with the help of Qilin Film One company can compete with the giants of Hollywood and conquer the world, right?"

"Why is it impossible? Isn't it you?" Zhong Chuhong said matter-of-factly.

Yin Jun was speechless again.

According to the current situation, this is indeed the case.

The achievements of these film companies in Xiangjiang are almost all due to Yin Jun, except Cheng Long.

But he understands his own affairs. Without the memory of his previous life, he is nothing.

No matter how much you use your past life memories, they will eventually run out.

If we don’t take advantage of now to cultivate these companies to grow and develop and have more fighting capabilities, and wait until later to cultivate them in a hurry, it will be too late!

"After all, I'm just a person." The young man considered, "In the future, when you have children and my responsibilities become heavier, I may not be so enterprising in my career... Let them grow up as soon as possible. I’d rather let it go as soon as possible and live a leisurely retirement.”

"Hmm~~"

She originally thought that Zhong Chuhong would ask more questions, but after hearing this sentence, her eyes immediately softened, and she lay on Yin Jun's shoulder without saying a word.

This made the following explanation prepared by Yin Jun come to nothing.

He soon understood.

Zhong Chuhong didn't want him to be too tired. Even if he retired early, there would be nothing to regret.

After all, Zhong Chuhong herself is a woman who doesn’t care about fame and fortune!

There are not many women in Hong Kong who can retire at the peak of their powers without caring about the bustling world of fame and fortune!
