Chapter 1698 The Show Is About to Begin

The approval of the Lantau Island Development Plan is great news for Kirin Group.

Yin Jun also got on the plane to Los Angeles in a good mood.

Arriving in the United States with him were several production staff members including Shi Shaoming and Yin Jun. In addition, Gu Tianle, who had just returned to Hong Kong and rested for less than a month, also came with him.

Children are always playful, but Gu Tianle is not dissatisfied. Instead, he is excited to start a new movie journey.

On the one hand, Gu Tianle needs money to buy big things such as a house for his family.

Although Koo Tim Lok has filmed a lot of movies in the past two years, and even went to the United States to film a movie, he is not the protagonist after all. He has earned about two to three million, which is enough to buy a villa.

It’s just that Gutianle is also a lavish spender. Since the money did not arrive all at once, he spent it on his family and bought a large apartment for his grandma and parents to live in. He also bought a lot of trendy gadgets. It was only when Yin Jun told him last month that he could consider buying a house in Xiangjiang that he stood aside.

Because at this time, he only had more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in hand, and this was only due to the dividends from "The Sixth Sense", otherwise he would have spent it long ago.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that his family's apartment is worth more than 1 million, but the remaining more than 1 million is actually spent completely, and he can't even report how he spent it, which makes Yin Jun admire him very much.

But, who hasn’t been young and frivolous?

Which young person can save all his salary in the first month of working?

Most of them are spent in a single month!

So Yin Jun directly asked him to use the loan model of Qilin Group employees and let him buy a medium-sized villa of more than 3,000 square feet in Beacon Hill in installments.

Burdened with millions of dollars in debt all at once, Gu Tianle also seemed a little stressed, so he was naturally more motivated to work.

Another reason why Gu Tianle is so motivated is the star's reputation.

In the United States, Gu Tianle is still not aware of it. At most, he is just a relatively small and famous rising star.

But back in Hong Kong, because of his starring role in "The Sixth Sense" and starring opposite Oscar-winning actors like Das Ben Hoffman, Coo has become a leader of the new generation. Some people even rated him as the second best actor. A leap week!

This is a bit too flattering.

Who is Zhou Runfa?

The number one actor in Hong Kong!

Cannes Film Festival Best Actor!

The man who almost became an Oscar winner!

He has worked hard for more than ten years to achieve his status today. You, a mere teenage boy, dare to say that you are the second him?

The newspaper must have been unwilling to stop talking without shocking the news, so other newspapers followed suit and began to criticize, and the two sides quarreled fiercely.

Gu Tianle didn't even speak himself, but he caused an uproar in Xiangjiang, and everyone was very familiar with him.

Walking on the street, fans are calling his name and vying to take photos with him.

The feeling of being sought after by others makes Gu Tianle very excited.

Now he is nothing, but he is treated like this. If he really becomes a big star, how glorious will he be?

Not only in Hong Kong, but also in Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe, people lined the streets to welcome us and screamed, right?

Just thinking about such scenery, Gu Tianle felt that he should work hard!

So when Yin Jun asked him to follow him to the United States to shoot a movie, and it was a movie with a male protagonist, Gu Tianle was so excited that he almost screamed, then he packed up a little and followed Yin Jun on the plane.

Of course, what Yin Jun prepared for Gu Tianle was "Home Alone".

Columbus has prepared all the preludes in the United States, including the writing of the shots, site inspections, and the formation of the crew.

Seeing that filming in the icy and snowy Alaska is about to begin in July, as the leading actor, Louis Koo naturally has to arrive early to get in touch with the crew.

Columbus knows that Gu Tianle is a direct descendant of Yin Jun, so he will definitely not be too demanding on him.

But Yin Jun didn't have any special intentions for Gu Tianle. Young people should have more training, so he told Columbus to focus on filming and not worry about other things.

The boy gave Columbus a lot of power. Columbus was in control of the entire crew. Only the final editing rights were not held by Columbus, but he also had the right to edit and make suggestions.

It's just that the crew of "Home Alone" is not that large. At most, there are fifty or sixty actors and crew members. The remaining supporting actors, supporting actors, etc. are all hired in local towns.

The whole thing doesn't cost much.

The budget given by Disney was originally only 5 million US dollars, but after Yin Jun mentioned it, they increased it to 8 million US dollars, including all expenses.

Of course, the final box office dividend is not included.

If it sells well, the overall dividend they will receive will be more than 8 million US dollars.

Compared with the low-key and small-scale production of "Home Alone", Yin Jun's "The Pianist" is much more powerful.

Not long after this year's Oscars, news spread that Yin Jun would continue to produce new films.

Compared with three years ago when he opened the door to Hollywood with the movie "Speed", Yin Jun is now a presence that cannot be ignored in Hollywood.

It’s not that Yin Jun is taken seriously because he is a Hollywood tycoon.

It's because Yin Jun is already an Oscar-level director in Hollywood - whether it's "Juno", "Shawshank Redemption" or "Rain Man", they are all well-known films around the world.

If you can make such a movie, you are considered an excellent director.

Having made three films in a row and been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director for two consecutive years, he is definitely a top-notch director.

In terms of commercial production, Yin Jun may still be a little behind, but in terms of artistic achievements, even the four major directors in Hollywood are not very proud of Yin Jun.

Not to mention Yin Jun's good friend, Lucas of "Star Wars", who is also one of the four major directors, has said to the outside world more than once that he is called one of the four major directors in Hollywood. He really deserves it. It is only justifiable that the quota should be given to Yin Jun.

Besides, no one doesn't know that Yin Jun will definitely have an amazing achievement in commercial films.

"Jurassic Park".

Yes.

It is this super best-selling novel that has sold hundreds of millions of copies all over the world. Countless book fans and movie fans have already called for Yin Jun to be made into a big movie as soon as possible.

With such a huge potential consumer group, there is no reason why "Jurassic Park" shouldn't be a hit.

A survey conducted by "Hollywood Illustrated" a year ago showed that at least 80% of respondents aged 20-40 said they would go see the movie "Jurassic Park", and now they are just waiting for Yin Jun to start production .

But Yin Jun didn't have this idea, which disappointed many book fans and movie fans.

Although official news stated that the current special effects production is not good enough, so there is no way to present those various dinosaurs, so it was decided to wait a few years.

But book fans and movie fans are not stupid. They have speculated on various reasons.

One of the comments that received the most praise came after this year's Oscars.

"Mr. Jun is fighting for the Oscar now. If he doesn't win the Oscar for Best Director, he will not make commercial blockbusters. So we all pray that those old men will quickly award the Oscar to Mr. Jun, otherwise how will we see those movies?" Commercial blockbusters? In addition to "Jurassic Park", there are also "The Da Vinci Code" and "A Song of Ice and Fire"!"

When Yin Jun heard this, he burst into laughter.

Although he has never thought about it deliberately, he is indeed a little obsessed now.

After missing out on two consecutive Oscars for Best Director, the young man is naturally a little unwilling, so he will definitely work hard until he succeeds.

However, a large part of the reason why "Jurassic Park" was not filmed was due to the special effects technology.

With the promotion of computer window systems, countless studios have begun to produce various software, and the digital field is also developing continuously.

They have sent invitations to all software production companies in the world, asking them to produce special effects-related software. The prices are very generous, so many studios and companies are working hard day and night to develop software.

So far, dozens of software have been used in the digital field for special effects production.

Not only in the digital field, Yin Jun also generously shared these software and patents with various special effects companies such as Industrial Light and Magic.

This is definitely not to capitalize on the enemy, but to expand the scale of the special effects production market as much as possible.

Only if they become more proficient in using it and do it better will the level of special effects production be improved.

At that time, whether you produce it yourself or commission it from others, you can make the movie better.

After all, there are so many movies from Disney and United Artists, and it is impossible to produce them all in the digital field alone. In the future, more and more movies will be subcontracted to other companies.

Back to business.

United Artists Film Company has been promoting Yin Jun's new film since April, pointing out that it is a film about the experience of Jews during World War II, which is a way to build momentum.

United Artists Film Company also seems to be spending a lot of money on publicity.

Not only did it promote all aspects of preparations for Yin Jun's filming, but it also promoted the novel "The Pianist", which has already begun to sell well, directly to the fifth place on the "New York Daily News" bestseller list!

As we all know, at least more than half of the old men in the film academy are Jewish, and they also like this kind of realistic themes the most, especially movies about the suffering they encountered during World War II, especially movies based on real people's experiences.

No wonder someone said sourly some time ago that as Yin Jun increasingly learns how to please the judges of the film academy, there is one less master director who can truly make movies according to his own ideas!
