Chapter 1525: Bringing the Young People Around

More than 2 months ago, at the end of September, the second part of Cixi's biography, "Under the Curtain", was officially broadcast in Xiangjiang.

What is different from the previous life is that this time "The Curtain" has received the full support of Kirin Cinema and has been screened throughout Asia.

Li Hanxiang is very famous throughout Asia. The first film "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" won the favor of many people because of its exquisite filming and on-site framing.

With the foundation of the first part, the second part "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain" was naturally welcomed.

After 6 weeks of screening, the total Asian box office of "Under the Curtain" reached 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

The most amazing thing is that the copyrights in Europe and the United States were sold, and because "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was a big hit in France and the United Kingdom, the second film "The Curtain" was also bought out by United Artists Film Company for a very high price of 20 million US dollars. Film and Videotapes Copyright.

All right.

This is no joke. The two robbers who broke into the Old Summer Palace are now the most sought-after period of history. The theaters were sold out for a month after it was released, and the video tape sold more than a million boxes. It is really incredible.

Box office is one aspect. Their boring critics and reporters have been discussing it on TV, newspapers and magazines for more than half a year. They are very happy about it, and the audience is watching it with gusto.

I don’t know if they are introspecting or reminiscing about that short and beautiful time - ahem, it can’t be said to be short. During those two or three hundred years, they were extremely glorious and dominated almost the whole world.

Li Hanxiang's studio is already under the banner of Qilin Films.

When he made "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", Qilin Films had not yet been established, so he worked on his own and raised money to make the movie.

Now that there is Qilin Movies, he affiliated himself to Qilin Movies without saying a word.

But he has almost finished filming the five movies of "The Legend of Cixi", and Yin Jun told him that they do not need to be handed over to Qilin Films, even if he is responsible for the profits and losses.

It is said that they are responsible for their own profits and losses, but in fact everyone with a discerning eye knows that the five-part series of Cixi's biography is obviously going to make a lot of money. Yin Jun is giving up his profits to the seniors!

However, because all the expenses were sponsored by Yin Jun, every time the movie's share was released, Li Hanxiang directly transferred half of it to Yin Jun's account, just to tell Yin Jun afterwards.

Le Yiling admired his style.

Le Yiling likes people who don't forget their roots, and she also prefers capable people who don't forget their roots. If Li Hanxiang has both, he will certainly be appreciated by President Le.

There are now three remaining films of The Legend of Cixi, and the post-production is almost complete. Two films are expected to be released next year, and one the year after that. This Li Hanxiang's lifelong wish can be considered completely completed.

Li Hanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about his next work.

Li Hanxiang is already 57 years old. He had surgery a few years ago. No matter how much care he takes, his body bones have begun to weaken. He can no longer work as hard as he did when he was young.

Even for the five-part film "The Legend of Cixi", at Yin Jun's request, it took him three years to complete the filming. This was the longest time in his history of filming.

But at the same time, this is also the series of films that Li Hanxiang has made the most exquisitely. Although it is very tiring, it is hearty and very enjoyable.

Facts have proved that slow work and meticulous work will also be liked by the audience.

The net box office profit and reputation are so high, which is the best proof.

After tasting the sweetness, Li Hanxiang thought of his next step.

According to the current momentum, the five-part Legend of Cixi can bring at least 400 million Hong Kong dollars in net profit to Li Hanxiang.

With this money, Li Hanxiang has almost enough money to provide for himself and his wife in old age and to provide dowries for his two daughters.

His next step is to cooperate with Qilin Films to shoot some interesting but meaningful movies.

The method of cooperation is basically the same as that of McDonald's Bear and Xu Ke. He doesn't care about investing, he only cares about receiving dividends.

As an experienced director for decades, Li Hanxiang still has a very good character. Of course, he will not just take money and do nothing. He must put the quality of the movie first, and he will definitely not make a bad movie.

"What? Mr. Li, are you going to film Emperor's Legend?" Yin Jun looked at Li Hanxiang in front of him in surprise, feeling a little surprised.

Li Hanxiang invited Yin Jun to have morning tea. He knew that he must want to discuss something, but he didn't expect that Li Hanxiang would come up with such a big plan.

"right!"

Li Hanxiang said, "Last year, I asked a group of historian experts from the Mainland to start writing the script. The first part of "Qin Shihuang" has been revised in 5 drafts. If you have time, Mr. Jun, you should also take a look. Their writing skills are It’s really good, and the story is very logical and readable!”

"Okay, Mr. Li, please send me a copy in two days." Yin Jun nodded.

It is no exaggeration to say that the group of historians in this era is definitely an unprecedented group in the modern history of China.

After them, there will never be any experts who combine such rigor and storytelling. Most of them will be just "brothers" who are not good at writing. There will never be this kind of literary master again.

At this time, they were almost all between 40 and 60 years old. They had experienced the rotation of two dynasties, were influenced by many cultural styles of the X period, and absorbed some characteristics of Western culture. They were now in the prime of life, of course. Can write a good script.

The key lies in their serious and rigorous attitude.

It is common for a script to be revised three to five times and polished for a year or two.

It seems that in the future, scripts and stories will be paid less and less attention. They would rather spend hundreds of millions to create special effects than spend millions to hire a few good screenwriters to tell the story better.

Um!

That's right.

What Yin Jun is thinking about is the 2018 "super fantasy movie with a huge investment of 750 million and six years to create" - Asura.

After three days of release, the film only made less than 50 million yuan at the box office, and then the film studio announced an emergency withdrawal.

"We refuse to re-release it because of the unfair environment."

The copywriter who can come up with such an excuse, in fact, let this planner write the script, maybe it can increase the box office by another 50 million.

Li Hanxiang's five-part biography of Cixi was written by this group of historians and screenwriters.

It was precisely because he knew their professionalism and rigor that Yin Jun decided to take a look, just like he had carefully read the script of the five-part Cixi biography before.

Don't think that since Yin Jun has so many classic scripts in his mind and more than two hundred classic scripts and stories in his safe, he doesn't need to study anymore.

In fact, over the years, Yin Jun has read no less than 50 books of various kinds every year.

I don’t know how many scripts and stories I’ve read.

Therefore, Yin Jun must observe and learn scripts like this.

"Okay, Mr. Jun, you are the world's number one screenwriter, please help me check it." Li Hanxiang simply agreed and immediately agreed.

His respect for Yin Jun was entirely due to Yin Jun's talent.

Although he is more than 30 years older than Yin Jun, he thinks that without Yin Jun's ability, he would definitely not be able to write those books and scripts.

Therefore, I showed the script to Yin Jun to give him more guidance.

Mainland screenwriters have very solid basic skills, but the problem is that they have been isolated from the outside world for a long time, so they are much worse than Yin Jun in keeping up with the times.

"Over the past few years in the Mainland, I feel like a different person. Everything goes smoothly and comfortably." Li Hanxiang continued, "So I am planning to shoot all these movies in the Mainland. After all, it is rich in resources and has a vast territory. , it’s convenient for anything.”

Yin Jun nodded.

Even if Li Hanxiang doesn't say it himself, he will let Li Hanxiang do it.

It is rare for someone to develop the film industry in the Mainland in an honest way and cultivate groups of film talents. Of course Yin Jun will support him.

Based on Li Hanxiang's ability, and the scale and quality of his filming, there will definitely be a lot of talents coming out of his crew ten years from now.

Li Hanxiang felt relieved again when he saw Yin Jun agreeing.

He knew that Yin Jun was very close to the Mainland, but if he filmed every movie in the Mainland, he didn't know if Yin Jun would feel that he was too unsociable and had to go to such a remote place to film.

"I'm going to the mainland to film a movie. Mr. Jun, do you have any talents you'd like to recommend?" Li Hanxiang said, "There's no need for Hui Zai to go. It's not that he broke up with my daughter, but that he should hone his acting skills in Hong Kong. Only then can we grow quickly.”

Yin Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing, "He and your daughter have broken up, and you still take care of him like this?"

"Hui Zai is a good young man, but he doesn't get along with my daughter. It's not fate." Li Hanxiang sighed, feeling a little regretful.

He still doesn't know that even if Liang Jiahui breaks up with his daughter, he will still treat him as his father in the years to come.

Even Li Hanxiang's funeral was handled by Liang Jiahui, who was busy greeting and seeing off the mourning guests.

It is not in vain that Li Hanxiang taught Liang Jiahui step by step in the mainland for a year and taught him so much knowledge.

"What you are saying is that Hui Zai can hone himself more in Xiangjiang." After Yin Jun smiled slightly, he did not mention Liang Jiahui, "In the Western Guangdong Film Studio, there is a photographer named Zhang Moumou. I went to the mainland to see some of the photos and scenes he shot. He is a very thoughtful and creative young man. If possible, let him join the crew!"

"good!"

Li Hanxiang took out a small notebook and wrote down Zhang Homou's name.

"Zhang Guoli, Chen Daomin, Chen Baoguo, Zhang Fengyi, Ge You, Wu Gang..." Yin Jun said a dozen names in one breath, "They are also young people I am very optimistic about. The specific contact information is with Gan Guoliang. . You don’t need to use them all in one movie, but if you, Mr. Li, can help lead them, I will be very grateful!"

"I see."

Li Hanxiang also wrote down the names of these people in turn.

He is not a young boy, so he naturally understands the ways of the world.

Since Yin Jun has already said it, these people must be used first.

Similarly, Li Hanxiang still doesn't know what achievements the young people he is about to use and lead will have in China's entertainment industry in the future.

They basically represent the most golden generation of actors in China. They have never been seen before and will never be seen again in the future.

Yes.

Yin Jun emphasized actors.

Film and television practitioners who have acting skills are called actors.

Those little fresh faces who only rely on their faces can only be called stars or idols.

At most, they can attract young people in idol TV series or advertisements, but they cannot win people's love and respect in movies and TV shows that truly rely on their strength.

How could the spread of Chinese culture rely on these people?

Only the above-mentioned actors, who truly regard acting as their career and even their lives, can represent China and show the charm of Chinese culture to the world!
