Chapter 1615 Young Detective

Not all Americans are sociable.

In fact, people who don't talk for a long time and act like quails on important occasions are quite useful.

It’s just that the foreigners we see in the mainland are all outgoing and good at communicating, so they came to China to work hard.

Those with dull personalities basically stay in their own country.

In the entertainment industry, even the most dull person knows how to communicate with others, let alone the Downey father and son in front of him.

But, it also depends on the person.

Although the father and son had prepared a lot of words, when they saw Yin Jun and sat down to drink tea, they couldn't find a good excuse to start a conversation.

There is no other reason than that Yin Jun's aura is too strong.

Although Yin Jun behaved very gently, the confidence radiating from within made it difficult for people to speak with a playful smile.

But what they want to talk about is to ask Yin Jun to give Robert Downey Jr. a chance. In this case, it seems that there is no good media, and it is not easy to talk about it.

If it made Yin Jun unhappy, maybe visiting Yin Jun this time would be a bad thing.

Finally, it was Robert Downey Jr., who saw Yin Jun looking at him, so he joked bravely, "Mr. Yin, you have considered me so carefully, do you think I am suitable for the leading actor in your next film production plan?"

Yin Jun burst out laughing after hearing this, "What strengths do you think you have, and what movie roles do you think you can play, Mr. Downey?"

"I'm handsome, and I'm most suitable for the role of a youth idol, and action movies are also very suitable for me." Robert Downey Jr. quickly seized the opportunity and boasted, "And I can endure hardship. No matter how hard the filming is, I can still do it." Bear!"

Yin Jun laughed again.

The first half of what this guy said was quite reliable, but the second half was nonsense.

Robert Downey Jr. has never been an actor willing to suffer.

If he really could endure hardships, he would definitely not be infected with sex, which would make him almost unable to get up in the end.

However, Robert Downey Jr. is also a very perseverant person. Being able to struggle back to the world after falling into hell is not something that everyone can do.

Didn't Keanu Reeves's good friend River Phoenix kill himself by taking x-rays in the face of a promising future?

Speaking of which, it seems that Keanu Reeves was in the same situation in those years, but after seeing his friend's tragic ending, he quickly quit those bad habits and picked himself up again.

Then came "Speed ​​of Life and Death", which set him on the path to glorious stardom, and his destiny has changed for the better since then.

His thoughts came back.

Yin Jun said to Robert Downey Jr., "Mr. Downey..."

"Please call me Robert, Mr. Jun." Robert Downey Jr. interrupted Yin Jun's words, and then the last call was in Chinese that he was not very proficient in.

But this is not Cantonese, but serious Mandarin.

This made Yin Jun a little surprised, "Who did you learn this pronunciation from?"

"Of course you are Chinese." Robert Downey Jr. scratched his head and said, "I know you went to Xiangjiang from mainland China, so this should be your native language."

"good."

Yin Jun smiled and did not correct him. His hometown dialect was Hubei dialect, which was different from Mandarin.

But to be able to find the pronunciation in Mandarin, Robert Downey Jr. can be considered careful.

So far, there are many foreigners who can pronounce "Jun Shao" in Cantonese, but he seems to be the only one who can pronounce "Jun Shao" in Mandarin.

Robert Downey Jr. saw that Yin Jun was in a good mood, so he interrupted: "Master Jun, although my child is playful and has many shortcomings, his greatest advantage is his strong learning ability and innate acting talent. , as long as you give him a chance, he will not let you down."

"Robert's acting skills can only be said to be qualified, not good." Yin Jun smiled and shook his head, "But among the younger generation, his characteristics are still very distinctive. If he continues to work hard, he will become an outstanding actor." As an actor, there should be no problem.”

Hearing Yin Jun talk about Robert Downey Jr.'s shortcomings, Robert Downey Jr. actually became happy.

Being able to find fault shows that Yin Jun attaches great importance to his son, and that Yin Jun is always observing his son.

Robert Downey Jr. was a little unconvinced, but because it was Yin Jun who spoke, he tolerated it.

"I probably already know your purpose of coming." Yin Jun said, "I have not signed many actors in the United States, and there are only a few actors signed under the name of Qilin Culture. Since I signed you Robert If you come down, then I definitely hope you can become famous."

Kirin Group contracts employees in many ways.

But in the North American branch, everyone usually signs a contract with Disney or United Artists Film Company.

There are only ten American actors in total who can be signed by Qilin Culture, the head office.

Therefore, many people also understand in their hearts that whether you can be signed by Qilin Culture under harsh conditions means that Yin Jun is optimistic about your future.

Otherwise, Yin Jun is not an idiot and will always ask you to sign a 20- or 30-year contract.

In addition to the troublesome legal procedures, more importantly, Qilin Culture has paid a lot of money.

There is a fixed salary, corresponding dividends, and the company's training and support for you... These are tens of millions of dollars invested by just one person.

If he didn't think you had a great future, would Yin Jun have spent tens of millions of dollars on you?

It is because of knowing this that Robert Downey and his son dared to come to Yin Jun like this.

Other ordinary actors and even celebrities do not have the courage and will not be allowed to enter the manor.

Seeing Robert Downey Jr. showing excitement, Yin Jun changed the subject, "But are you really ready now? If nothing else, in the past six months, you have gone to the hotel with actresses twice You were photographed, three times you were drunk and photographed by reporters... If it hadn't been for the company's urgent public relations and spending money to get things settled, those media could have ruined you, you know?"

Americans cannot drink alcohol before they are 21 years old. This law will not be implemented until the second half of this year. Therefore, it is not illegal for Robert Downey Jr. to drink heavily before he is 20 years old.

It's just that his inability to control himself is indeed a very big weakness.

In his previous life, he could still know what to do when he was successful, but once he became quiet and his career failed, he would use sex to relieve his sorrow and fall into the abyss of hell.

Yin Jun's current words were obviously knocking him.

Robert Downey Jr. has a good understanding of Yin Jun's character, and knows that this boss is notoriously serious in his work.

Moreover, Yin Jun was born in a conservative country like China, so he didn't like people who caused trouble.

After hearing this, he seemed to understand why among the few people, he was the only one who didn't get a chance.

He quickly assured: "I know I was wrong. I will restrain myself from now on and try not to cause bad news outside of filming."

It is difficult for Americans to follow the rules.

Models like Tom Hanks are even rarer.

Robert Downey Jr. can guarantee that he will "restrain" and "not cause bad press", which is already a huge commitment.

Is his promise credible?

Yin Jun found it credible.

At least it's believable now.

When things are going well, it is easy for people to lose sight of themselves and do some ridiculous things.

But what is more dangerous is when people are in trouble and encounter huge setbacks. Only then will they do things that can easily destroy themselves.

Robert Downey Jr. suddenly hit rock bottom after he was nominated for an Oscar in 1993. There were no good movies or good roles for many years, so he took x to numb himself.

The current Robert Downey Jr. is not even famous. How could he be so ignorant of the rules?

If he was really the kind of person who would run wild when he got his ambition, Yin Jun wouldn't be able to recruit him.

Seeing that the beating was almost done, Yin Jun nodded slightly and said, "In that case, then you should cherish the opportunity."

With that said, Yin Jun walked aside, took a stack of manuscripts, and handed them over under the expectant eyes of Robert Downey Jr. and his son.

"Young Sherlock Holmes?"

Robert Downey Jr. took the script and read out the names.

"Yes, this is a story about Sherlock Holmes solving crimes when he was young." Yin Jun said, "Take it back and take a good look at it and prepare it. The producer will contact you then."

"Will a movie like this be popular?" Robert Downey Jr. boldly asked.

"I don't know." Yin Jun spread his hands, "I don't know whether any film will be successful before it comes out."

Robert Downey Jr. said quickly, "You brat, are there any of Jun Shao's movies that are not successful? Go back and read the script! Think about it seriously! Otherwise, if the performance fails, it will be your own fault!"

Robert Downey Jr. also suddenly realized what he said.

yes!

How could I question the most talented screenwriter in the world?

Since Yin Jun's debut, which movie has not been successful?

Although detective themes have not been very popular in recent years, how can the script written by Yin Jun be judged by ordinary eyes?

Seeing Robert Downey Jr.'s face beaming with smiles, Yin Jun also smiled in his heart.

This time, he really didn't lie.

I really don’t know how effective the movie “Young Sherlock Holmes” will be.

Because this film is Yin Jun’s own original work.

He extracted some fragments from classic movies and TV series such as "Sherlock Holmes", "Basic Deduction", and "Sherlock", combined them with his own reasoning, and finally formed the "Young Sherlock Holmes" trilogy.

Now the first part is given to Robert Downey Jr. If it succeeds, the second and third parts will also be put on the agenda.

If it fails, there will naturally be no follow-up.

Anyway, this is also an experiment of mine. You can’t just copy the previous life in every movie, right?

In the future, when you create a movie yourself, you need to have your own ideas and add some of your own things to it, so that your many years as an editor will not be wasted.

Of course, Yin Jun is not a fool, let alone act recklessly.

He will not add anything that is too advanced and does not conform to the aesthetics of this era.

And the plot of a movie always comes before the special effects.

Only if Yin Jun can make up a good story himself will he create a movie.

If it were just a Marvel movie with insufficient plot and confusing logic, relying entirely on special effects and fighting to support the scene, Yin Jun wouldn't even bother to do it.

Speaking of which, there are dozens of scripts about the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Yin Jun's safe.

These have been carefully considered and polished by him over the past few years, and they can be justified in terms of logic and overall connection between the past and the future.

As long as the opportunity comes and Marvel is acquired, the steps to adapt these comic books into major movies can be put on the agenda!
