Chapter 1531 A Great Harvest
Yin Jun will not personally participate in matters such as the High Sea Casino. He only needs to make a plan and give instructions to the following.
Not to mention anything else, there are all kinds of talents in "Qilin Daily" who are fanning the flames.
The Jianing Group's fraudulent fund-raising case that caused a sensation was caused by the detailed planning of "Qilin Daily" and the undercover investigation.
Nowadays, "Kilin Daily" is alone in Hong Kong. The next step is to wait for the development of the computer network to spread the "Kilin Daily" newspaper to the Chinese community throughout Asia.
Because Yin Jun was well prepared, "Kilin Daily" sent reporters to five or six gambling boats to go undercover more than half a year ago to collect all available intelligence.
The specific information they collected is actually not important.
Anyway, making something out of nothing has always been the media’s strength.
One word "supposedly" is enough to create thousands of lies.
If the commotion really gets big, Fengfeng finally comes out to admit his mistake and fires the responsible editors and reporters, which will be regarded as repentance.
So this is where these uncrowned kings are confident and fearless.
Such confidence and fearlessness are even more frightening in the Internet age. The knife that kills people without blood is the so-called self-media.
In some respects, in China, it is very necessary not to let go of control over the media.
Many foreign media also have no conscience, such as the New York Times.
When Americans supported Bush to attack Iraq for the second time, the media, led by the New York Times, claimed that Iraq had destructive weapons.
But in the end, Iraq was overthrown and Saddam was killed, but not a single biological or chemical weapon was found.
At that time, the people in the United States were extremely angry. The reputation of the New York Times that had been accumulated for a hundred years was ruined. People no longer believed in their credibility.
Newspapers and media like the New York Times have no conscience, but they are also afraid of the law, and most of the time they dare not do anything that violates the law.
However, the self-media in China in the Internet era are different. Many self-media not only have no conscience, but also regard the law as nothing, and dare to do anything for money.
There have been many rumored murders in 2020. If it is not controlled, I am afraid that with the fragile psychology of those born in the 90s, 00s and 10s, such tragedies will happen more often.
Therefore, Yin Jun asked "Qilin Daily" to be as fair and open as possible when doing things. If there is no reliable source of information, it must not be randomly published on the front page or headlines. At most, it should be treated as a pastime after dinner.
After all, "Qilin Daily" has never thought of being an entertainment newspaper. Although its entertainment section has flourished and is the best in Asia, in fact it still mainly focuses on comprehensive news reports.
One month before "Letter to Dad" is released, "Kilin Daily" will slowly start to spread the word and slowly reveal some things about gambling on the high seas. Once the effect of the movie is released, it will increase its efforts and strive to attract people who like gambling. People can be influenced by the concepts here to achieve good results.
As the top priority of "Letter to Dad", Yin Jun called Yuan Kui over immediately after looking for Jet Li.
Since Yin Jun only gave him half a month to prepare and one month to complete the filming and start post-production, Yuan Kui agreed without any hesitation.
Without him having to tell the conditions, Yin Jun agreed to let him choose the people at Qilin Films at will, and the post-production team also set aside time for him for Yuan Kui to use.
It's just that Yuan Kui still can't make the decision between the male and female protagonists.
The actor Li Lianjie, the heroine Yang Xiaoxuan, and the actor's wife are played by Huang Qiuyan, so that they can cooperate more as a couple and increase their relationship.
The relationship problems between Li Lianjie and Huang Qiuyan in the previous life were definitely not because Li Lianjie was dissatisfied with the temperament and character of this senior sister.
Those were all remarks made later. Huang Qiuyan's character was much gentler than Lizhidu's.
The main reason is that Jet Li's career in Hong Kong continued to rise and he became a Kung Fu superstar, but Huang Qiuyan stayed in the United States to take care of her daughter and became a housewife.
The distance was very far, and the gap between their respective realms gradually widened. Then Li Lianjie met such a beautiful woman as Li Zhi. It was surprising that their marriage could get better.
Now Yin Jun has decided to let Huang Qiuyan be with Jet Li all the time, and be his agent even after giving birth to a child. With his own thoughts of suppressing Jet Li's heart, he can let Jet Li devote himself to acting in movies.
At least, at least it is impossible for Li Lianjie and Lizhi in this life.
Because Lizhi is much smoother than in her previous life, and is now seriously preparing to shoot the movie "The King of Flowers 3". How can she have time to pay attention to a married man?
The heroine Yin Jun chose Yang Xiaoxiao instead of Yang Ziqiong. The reason is that Yang Xiaoxiao is one of his own - she is Pink Juhua's apprentice and Wei Xiaofan's junior sister.
Yang Xiaoxuan was usually very honest and obeyed the arrangements without any complaints. Now that he had the opportunity, he would of course give priority to taking care of her.
Although Yang Xiaozhen's appearance is not that beautiful, she still has a score of 80. It is still enough to play the heroine of an action movie.
Another candidate who is more suitable than Yang Xiaoxuan is currently busy with the release of another movie of her own. Next, she will star in her master Chuck's new movie, and has no time to take on Yin Jun's role.
By the way, "Royal Sister" was officially released two weeks ago. The Xiang brothers invited Yin Jun to attend the premiere, and Sister Hong, who Yin Jun loved and feared, was naturally there.
At the premiere, Yin Jun and Hui Yinghong didn't talk much. He was surrounded by the Xiang brothers the whole time.
Although the Xiang brothers were very confident after watching the sample film, they became a little less confident after it started to be released on a large scale.
The main reason is that their investment is very high and their expectations in return are also very high.
The production cost of "Royal Senior Sister" totaled 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and 30 million was also spent on publicity.
In addition to inviting Hui Yinghong, he also invited a very famous action star in Japan in order to enter the Japanese market.
Then the special effects team also found people from Qilin Movies.
Luo Lixian has now assembled and trained a team of more than 60 people, doing various special effects work on motorcycles, cars, blasting, high-altitude jumping, action, etc.
In addition to letting them produce special effects for its movies, Qilin Films does not restrict these people from going out to pick up jobs in their free time. Therefore, although some people are being poached one after another, the core strength is still there.
Anyway, Luo Lixian will not leave, not only because his annual salary is as high as 3 million, including dividends, it can exceed 5 million, but also because it was Yin Jun who discovered him.
Another important point is that no matter what new technology Luo Lixian wants to experiment with or what new special effects he wants to experiment with, Qilin Films will readily allocate funds and let him tinker with it.
It was so satisfying that Luo Lixian would only go to other film companies and find so many shackles to put on himself after eating too much.
The Xiang brothers have invested more in special effects, and Luo Lixian will be more free to use special effects. In such a movie, not only the fighting scenes are exciting, but also various explosions, car chases, and jumping off the rooftops. Thrilling and thrilling, it makes people excited and addicted to watch.
A great movie may not necessarily make people happy, it may even make people sad.
On the other hand, a movie that is addictive may not necessarily be an excellent movie, but may very well be a popcorn movie.
But a movie that makes people hooked is guaranteed to be a hit.
"The Royal Sisters" took in a box office of HK$120 million in the first three days of its first weekend. In addition to the 30 million production cost, the Xiang brothers' 30 million spent on promotional expenses was basically half of it.
All that's left is to make money.
Under normal circumstances, a movie's box office should drop in its second week. Only excellent movies can maintain balance or even surpass it.
For example, "The Raid", which was released two months ago, successfully exceeded the Asian box office by HK$70 million in its second week.
"The Royal Sister" also overtook the market in its second week, selling a total of HK$180 million.
The reason is not that the reputation is so overwhelming.
"The Royal Sister" is an excellent police film with a heroine as its selling point. It is indeed very good, but it is still far inferior to a sectarian film like "The Raid".
The reason why it overtook the market in the second week is because the Japanese market was completely activated during this week.
The Japanese action star is the first factor that attracts Japanese movie fans to the cinema. But after watching it, everyone felt that the movie was very good-looking. It is rare for a Japanese protagonist to not be a villain in a Hong Kong movie, which is even more exciting. Everyone was enthusiastic about watching movies, so the box office suddenly went up a lot.
All right.
The Japanese are still a bit pitiful, because in Yin Jun's scripts, Japanese people are generally not positive characters.
However, in Asia, the movies from Xiangjiang and Qilin Movies are still the best, so they can only admit it by pinching their noses.
Just like around the 2000s, Hollywood slandered and smeared the mainland from time to time, but mainland movie fans were still interested in watching Hollywood blockbusters.
Of course, after 2011, Hollywood saw the power of the box office market in mainland China and immediately replaced all the villains with North Koreans, so the ** family became the base camp of evil.
It sold 300 million box office in two weeks and was divided into as many as 120 million.
Hollywood's United Artists Films also took notice and spent US$10 million to buy all the copyrights in Europe and the United States.
Considering that they had no distribution channels in Europe and the United States, the Xiang brothers readily sold the film to United Artists Films, earning another HK$78 million in "free money" and making back their investment in one lump sum.
For such an achievement, the Xiang brothers are completely reassured.
It seems that it is Yin Jun's script that has the possibility of such a box office hit!
