Chapter 1617 The Golden Cicada Escapes From Its Shell

In the 1980s and until the early 1990s, Hollywood had two major superstars.

One is called Stallone.

The other one is Schwarzenegger.

Now they are all under the Qilin Group and have signed a 20-year, 10-film contract with Yin Jun.

Generally speaking, these two superstars have very loose contracts.

Yin Jun only stipulated that they must cooperate with Qilin Group in 10 films within 20 years.

But the rest of the time, they can take on other movies, and the Kirin Group will not interfere at all.

However, both Stallone and Schwarzenegger arranged their agency contracts under the North American branch of Kirin Group.

They still believed in Yin Jun's character.

Although other Hollywood agencies are very powerful, their conditions are not as relaxed as the North American branch of the Kirin Group.

The North American branch of Kirin Group specially arranged a team of agents for each of them to help them take care of all matters, even including going out to pick up scenes.

What they need to pay to the North American branch of Kirin Group is only 10%.

Money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that their group of agents can always find out the best way for them to develop, such as which movies to accept, how to negotiate on advertising fees, and what advertising is suitable. Their identities, how they should attend the event...

With such a set of things in place, they basically just have to give up and do what the agents say.

As for whether you are worried about the agents doing something weird in the middle?

The answer is that they don't worry.

First, the company has strict contract regulations, and if their interests are harmed, they will face huge compensation.

Secondly, Qilin Group is Yin Jun’s company.

As we all know, Yin Jun is a handsome gentleman who talks like a man and has never harmed anyone in a contract.

When dealing with such people, you never have to worry about what you say.

Therefore, even though Schwarzenegger's girlfriend is a direct descendant of the Kennedy family and is also engaged in media business, she still suggested that Schwarzenegger sign the agency contract with Kirin Group.

Now in March, Schwarzenegger is filming "The Predator" with his old partner Cameron on an overseas island. The filming is not expected to be completed until the end of April.

Stallone had nothing to do, so he wandered to Los Angeles and had a meal with Yin Jun, which was considered a landlord's friendship.

Since filming "First Blood" and "Rocky 3" consecutively the year before last, Stallone has been in a relaxed state in the past 1983.

He guest-starred in two movies and became the spokesperson for Armani. Incidentally, he was also the spokesperson for Swiss Rado watches. He received seven or eight advertisements at once.

Therefore, Stallone's income last year exceeded 20 million US dollars, second only to his income in 1982.

But Stallone is also a person who can't take any time off. At the beginning of this year, he was thinking about making a new movie.

It happened that Yin Jun came to the United States, so he came to talk to Yin Jun to see if he could have any good ideas for him.

"I don't like the movie "Mission: Impossible" very much." Stallone said seriously while eating steak, "Relying on high technology and fancy fighting, there is no way to really satisfy the audience. So I When making a movie, you must make one that will make your blood boil after watching it, so that it will be exciting and enjoyable."

"Do you know that the current North American box office of "Mission: Impossible" is very likely to be close to your $280 million box office of "First Blood"?" Yin Jun said with a smile, "If I replace Tony Leung Chaowei with An American might overtake you!"

When Yin Jun met Stallone, he was already a big star in Hollywood.

Although Stallone personally came to Xiangjiang to discuss cooperation with Yin Jun, the identity between the two is not that of a boss and a subordinate, but more like friends who work together equally.

This is different from Schwarzenegger.

Schwarzenegger is too mature and has experienced too much, so he has very deep thoughts in everything he says and does, and everyone seems to be exchanging interests.

Yin Jun still likes a person with a true temperament like Stallone.

If you are happy, you are happy. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You can say whatever comes to mind without having to think about it for a long time.

Stallone is the same way, knowing that although Yin Jun doesn't like to talk very much, he is definitely an aboveboard person who does what he says.

He also likes people like Yin Jun.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any proactive attempts to come to deal with him as before.

"Two different types of movies cannot be compared." Stallone shook his head and said, "I am going to make "First Blood 2" this year to let the audience see whose movie is better... Actually, I like it better. The third episode is a little bit, but it’s a pity that we can’t film it yet!”

When Yin Jun gave Stallone the script for "First Blood", he gave him three episodes in one go.

Stallone actually had a vague idea in his mind at the time, but seeing that Yin Jun had successfully prepared for the trilogy, he could only feel that the hero had the same vision, so he had no doubts.

Compared with the second episode, the third episode's battle in Afghanistan is more exciting and has a more explosive feeling of a lone hero fighting against the entire country.

This kind of movie model is what Stallone appreciates the most.

But as he said just now, now is not the time to shoot the third episode.

It's not suitable in all aspects, so I need to wait.

The United States is not afraid of anything, but American filmmakers are not supermen, so naturally there are many things that need to be taken into consideration.

Even if Stallone doesn't pay attention to his own safety, he still has to take care of the entire filming team.

The third episode in history was filmed three years later in 1987. At that time, the situation in the Middle East had become clear, and xx was destined to be a failure, so the film was filmed.

Yin Jun suddenly smiled, "If you think "First Blood 2" is not enough, I have a good movie here that is more suitable for you."

"Really?" Stallone perked up.

"It is a story about prison escape." Yin Jun said harmoniously, "Lei is the strongest prison escape master. He once broke out of 14 prisons in 8 years. It is known as the strongest and most closely guarded prison. Prison. But in fact, he is a prison security management expert of the National Security Agency. The purpose of escaping from prison is to test whether there are any loopholes in a prison.

For some reasons, Lei decided to retire early. Before retiring, he received a task, which was to go to the world's number one watertight prison, the Tomb, to test the security level here. But after entering the prison, he found that it was not that simple. It was surprisingly gloomy and dark, and the warden and others seemed to have an ulterior secret.

After seeing that there were no loopholes in the security measures, Lei revealed his identity and wanted to exit the prison. But unexpectedly, the warden not only pretended not to understand, but also tortured him even more... A series of things made Lei discover that he was caught in a huge conspiracy, so he wanted to escape and prove own innocence.

But in this supposedly watertight prison, there was no loophole for him to escape. With no other choice, Lei could only find the most mysterious inmate in the prison, the "Church", and worked hand in hand with him to launch a thrilling escape operation..."

Stallone listened thoughtfully, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "If I were to star, who would be the best partner for me?"

"What do you think of Alain Delon?" Yin Jun asked.

"he?"

Stallone said disdainfully, "He's just a pretty guy. He's just a showman. I won't cooperate with him."

I didn’t expect that your requirements are really high.

Yin Jun smiled bitterly.

In the original version of "Escape Plan", Schwarzenegger played the role of "Church".

However, the excitement of the two old men in their 60s was greatly reduced. Although the second and third parts were filmed later, Yin Jun didn't think it was very good.

This is why Yin Jun has come up with the script for "Escape from the Golden Cicada" now.

The plot of the script of "Escape from the Golden Cicada" is still very good.

The theme of prison escape is very much like a lone hero. The theme of escaping from death seems to be very enjoyable for everyone.

Stallone was only 38 years old at this time, when he was at his most elite and strongest. The feeling of filming and the effect were completely incomparable to those thirty years later.

Schwarzenegger is only 37 years old, which happens to be the best age.

But just because they are both at the best age and in the best condition, it would be a waste to get them together.

It's like Cheng Long and Jet Li from China. Did you see them getting together before they were 50 years old?

No.

That is to say, after getting older and having less appeal, everyone sticks together to keep each other warm.

It's like "The Expendables" by Stallone and Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li and others.

So Yin Jun arranged for Stallone to have Alain Delon, who had box office appeal but would not steal his limelight in terms of fighting.

As a result, he was not appreciated and felt that he was not strong enough to be his partner.

After thinking about it, Yin Jun suggested a second name, "Do you know a martial arts action instructor named Steven Seagal?"

"Oh, Steven! I know him!" Stallone nodded, "This guy's kung fu is very good. When I was filming "Rocky 3", I also asked him to give guidance on fighting methods."

"What about him?"

"What...uh? Him!?"

Stallone was surprised.

But the next moment Stallone gave it serious thought.

"Well..." After a moment, Stallone nodded, "Okay! Steven is a man with real kung fu, and his appearance and body are suitable for starring in action movies. Although he has not appeared in any movies before, if he is my If your partner shows up, there should be no problem.”

"That's him!"

Yin Jun smiled faintly.

Steven Seagal is also a future Hollywood action star.

Now that I have pushed him onto the stage of history in advance, and it is such a blockbuster opportunity, will he develop more smoothly than before?
