Chapter 1699 Understanding People

United Artists Film Company Headquarters.

Today's United Artists Film Company is no longer the shaky state it was four years ago.

With the emergence of blockbuster movies one after another, including the basic "007" series and Stallone's "Rocky" and "First Blood" series, as well as so many excellent scripts written by Yin Jun, United Artists Film Company In terms of overall strength, it is definitely better than the other seven film companies in Hollywood.

Therefore, there are a lot more people coming and going at the headquarters, and many celebrities hang out here, so it has become one of the best places for paparazzi to take candid photos.

After Yin Jun rested for a while in Lin Qingxia and Teresa Teng's villa, he came here and began to sort out the matters for "The Pianist" that he was going to shoot.

"We selected three places in total, one is a small town near Prague in the Czech Republic, the other is on the outskirts of Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and the third is a village near Austria and Germany." Carlson, the commissioner in charge of preliminary preparations, put the three places together. All the information was placed in front of Yin Jun. While Yin Jun was reading it, he explained, "Each of the three places has its own advantages. The one closest to the story is naturally the one in Warsaw, because Mr. Pillman is originally from Poland." People. But in terms of street shape and scenery that is close to the appearance more than 40 years ago, Prague is still the one. The last Austrian village combines the advantages of both places, but neither aspect is outstanding."

Because it was Yin Jun's own play, their early planning was very careful.

In each of the three plans, dozens of photos were taken, as well as detailed comparisons with the plots in the book "The Pianist".

Yin Jun recalled the scene from the movie "The Pianist" that he still vaguely remembered, thinking about it slowly, and then asked: "Have you called Mr. Pillman and asked for his opinion?"

"It was not convenient for us to make phone calls, so I went to his home in May." Carlson said, "Mr. Pillman didn't expect that we valued his opinion so much. He looked at the information and considered it for a long time, and gave My suggestion is to go to Prague.”

"Do the folk customs and the characteristics of the residents match up?" Yin Jun asked in surprise.

"Since the Czech Republic and Poland are not far apart and both belong to the Slavic people, there is not much difference." Carlson said, "As for folk customs, when we set up the scene, we will specially invite Polish Jews to come over for guidance. It should not be Things will go wrong.”

"very good."

Yin Jun is very satisfied with Carlson.

It is not easy to do such a good job in the preliminary work.

"Then choose a small town in Prague!" Yin Jun said thoughtfully, "You can take people to prepare first. You can recruit extras first and try to find experienced actors. Then according to the scene, we have to build more A street was created to create a bombed-out tattered effect. Don’t be afraid to spend money, and do everything right and authentically.”

"yes!"

Carlson said respectfully.

Although Yin Jun said it very simply, he still had a lot to do. It is conceivable that he would not be relaxed in the next few months of filming.

But Carlson is full of energy.

Because this is a movie directed by the boss himself!

Once the boss's movie is successfully filmed, won't he get the credit?

After getting to know your boss, you will have someone to rely on whether you are getting promoted or doing something else, right?

To take a step back, it is a rare qualification to be able to be the planner of a movie that the boss specializes in targeting Oscars.

Later, people asked me, "The background layout of "The Pianist" is really good. Who made it?"

At that time, I could also pat my chest and say, I did it!

…

Carlson received the order and went out, and then another person knocked on the door and came in.

There are not many people who can be informed directly by the secretary.

But this person is recognized as a direct descendant of Yin Jun, so Yin Jun let him in after the secretary just said it.

"Master Jun!"

Although the visitor was a black man, he spoke this sentence in Cantonese with perfect accuracy.

The young man looked at him and smiled, "Eddie, why are you here today?"

"I've been running around for promotions during this period, and I just happened to go back to the company. When I found out you were back, I came over to see you." Eddie Murphy said in fluent Cantonese, "Are you going to Europe to film a new movie soon? "

"Yes."

Yin Jun nodded and said, "Are you going to promote "The Sky Cannon 2"?"

"Yes!" Eddie Murphy said with a smile.

"How is it?" the boy asked.

"The production was very good, and the major theaters were also very optimistic about the preview, so they gave a good number of screens for the opening." Eddie Murphy said, "Then Brother Hua and I went to more than 20 cities to promote it. The support from fans has also been overwhelming.”

Eddie Murphy and Simon Yam have collaborated in two consecutive films of "Police Academy". Although the two are not too familiar with each other, they have become good partners after working together in the first and second films of "The Sky Cannon". .

In addition, Yam Dahua and Eddie Murphy are both good people, so of course they will not have any conflicts.

"Suddenly, from being a single male protagonist to having to collaborate with others, are you a little disappointed?" Yin Jun asked with a smile.

Eddie Murphy was stunned.

After "Police Academy" and "Speed", he starred in two "Beverly Hills Cop" films in one go, and has become a top action star in the United States.

But in "Hang Tian Pao", his role was divided into two protagonists.

Although the effect of "Beverly Hills Cop" is better than that of "Beverly Hills Cop", overall, Eddie Murphy still has not made any progress, but has retreated slightly, which is equivalent to leading Simon Yam. Act together.

"No, no, Mr. Jun, why do you think so?" Eddie Murphy said directly without much hesitation, "Whether it's "Beverly Hills Cop" or "Sky Cannon," it's all me. With my job, I gained great fame and earned money that I never dared to think of before and that I would never earn in my life. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Besides, as long as I keep working hard, you will definitely give me more opportunities! I will never forget that it was you who dug me out and gave me so many opportunities, otherwise I would be just a little guy! How could I forget your great kindness to me just because of this little thing? "

The young man smiled when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

No matter what Eddie Murphy thinks in his heart, if he can say this, it already represents an attitude.

Compared with white actors, black actors are more arrogant and have weird tempers, but overall, they are relatively simple.

Eddie Murphy was very popular in his previous life, but after he became famous, he became so arrogant that people resented him. This is because he has a good character.

Yin Jun likes to work with actors with good character. Those superstars who have outstanding talents but terrible tempers and characters, such as Tom Cruise, Yin Jun doesn't want to work with.

Eddie Murphy is actually really grateful to Yin Jun.

Not only what he said, but also the last time "Untouchable".

Just because he begged once, Mr. Jun gave himself such a good movie and got himself nominated for an Oscar. What an honor it was?

The entire black actor group was shocked by their nomination, and everyone who knew about it was praising themselves.

To put it bluntly, the source of such an honor is still Jun Shao. Otherwise, how could he have achieved such an achievement?

Seeing Yin Jun win Best Actor at Cannes and Best Actor at Oscars, Eddie Murphy knew it.

When the next opportunity comes, I will ask Mr. Jun to give me a good movie, and maybe I will become an Oscar winner.

What I have to do now is, on the one hand, to improve my achievements in commercial films and make myself more famous; on the other hand, I must actively improve my acting skills, so that when the opportunity comes, I can firmly seize it and not hesitate. Let it slip away.

"I think you have something to do here today. What is it? Before I go to Europe, tell me about it!" Yin Jun said to Eddie Murphy.

"Haha." Eddie Murphy smiled coquettishly, "Master Jun, Mr. Bruckheimer came to see me recently. He asked me if I wanted to star in "Beverly Hills Cop 3"."

""Beverly Hills Cop 3"?" Yin Jun frowned slightly, "He found someone to write the script?"

"yes!"

Eddie Murphy said with some conjecture, "United Arts Film Company has reviewed it and it feels pretty good."

Yin Jun gave Bruckheimer's "Beverly Hills Cop" only two episodes, because the original version only had two episodes.

But the "Beverly Hills Cop" series is really a very good movie. Two episodes sold more than 500 million US dollars at the box office in the United States.

Bruckheimer was naturally unwilling to let go of such a hit movie and wanted to squeeze out the last drop of oil.

That's why he found someone to rewrite the script for the third episode and showed it to United Artists Film Company, which also wanted to maximize the remaining value of "Beverly Hills Cop."

Both of them felt satisfied, so they found Eddie Murphy, showed him the script, and then encouraged him to come to Yin Jun and ask if they could produce it.

If it had been anyone else, they would have just ignored the screenwriter and just done it.

But Yin Jun, who wrote this story, is their boss. The boss didn't say anything, but you continued to write his script without authorization. This matter is really big or small.

Bruckheimer was also smart and directly asked Eddie Murphy, who had a good relationship with Yin Jun, to negotiate, so that even if Yin Jun disagreed, there would be room for maneuver.

He knows that Eddie Murphy also wants to have good movies to consolidate his status as a first-line star in Hollywood, so Eddie Murphy will definitely be willing to come to Yin Jun to talk.

Yin Jun didn't blame Eddie Murphy for this, and he didn't even have any dislike for Bruckheimer.

As the most successful gold medal producer in Hollywood, if Bruckheimer had no ideas of his own and was just a puppet, how could he have achieved such great achievements.

However, the current Bruckheimer is definitely not mature enough and doesn’t know what the script is like.

After pondering for a while, the young man said: "Please show me the script before we talk."

"The script is here."

Eddie Murphy immediately took out a stack of papers from his bag.

Looking at his eager look, Yin Jun smiled, "Don't be so nervous. If the script is good, of course you can film it! But Eddie, it's not easy for you to become famous here in Hollywood. You must remember that even if you are silent for a moment, Don’t be impatient and pick up scripts randomly, as this will destroy all your previous achievements.”

Eddie Murphy was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes!"

He was filled with emotion.

After spending so much time with Yin Jun, he naturally knew that Yin Jun's concern came from his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, Eddie Murphy also felt that he was a little impatient now.

In other words, because I have gained too much, I am more and more afraid of losing it, afraid of being suddenly knocked back to my original shape and becoming the worthless little guy I was before.

It would be great if I could learn from Young Master Jun's calmness and calmness!

Eddie Murphy thought secretly.

But then there was another wry smile.

How can this be?

Young Master Jun is a genius! Can a genius be like me?

It is better to follow Mr. Jun honestly from now on, so as to avoid setbacks and develop smoothly! !
