Chapter 1712 Preparation

Yin Jun is actually a hard-spoken but soft-hearted person.

Although he did not go to meet these book fans, he quietly asked Henry Conde to bring 100 novels. After he signed them, he asked Henry to take a detour and arrive at the gate of the community from the outside.

"Mr. Jun doesn't live here, but he has also heard about everyone's enthusiasm, and he will consider your opinions. ... As a thank you to everyone, he asked me to bring 100 signed books, including " "Game of Thrones", "Jurassic Park" and "Bridge of Lost Dreams"... We are here to draw prizes for everyone, please line up..."

All right.

Americans are very simple.

As soon as they heard that Yin Jun cared about their thoughts and wanted to give them books, they immediately became happy. The way they clapped, it really made people think that their protest was successful.

After distributing the books, Henry Kant took a detour back to Teresa Deng's manor.

After five years of cooperation with Yin Jun, Henry Publishing has become the largest publishing house on the West Coast, second only to the two century-old stores on the East Coast.

Not only is Yin Jun's novel published by Henry Press, because of its great reputation, many authors now regard Henry Press as their first choice for submission. In addition, Kant Henry's eyesight is really good, so these Except for some best-sellers this year.

But having said that, without Yin Jun’s several palace-level best-selling masterpieces, Henry Publishing House would not be what it is today, and it would not attract authors to submit manuscripts.

Of course Henry Conde was a smart man, so in recent years he not only gave Yin Jun the most favorable publishing conditions, but also used personal friendship to get along with Yin Jun. He never forced himself to live in seclusion.

They will definitely not force Yin Jun to do anything, because not long after the two of them cooperated, Yin Jun bought United Artists Film Company and Disney, becoming a Hollywood tycoon, and continued to win like cheating all the way, and is now the richest man in the world!

Henry Kant knows that in fact, in this world, there are many hidden families with more wealth than Yin Jun.

But those are mostly family wealth accumulated over hundreds of years and do not belong to one person.

Even the oil tycoons in the Middle East are the same - it is the common property of the royal family.

And Yin Jun's wealth belongs to him alone, and it was created within 7 years. This is really an amazing achievement.

Kant Henry felt that within 5 years, through unremitting efforts, he had a fortune of 500 million US dollars, which was already a successful legend. But compared to Yin Jun, he really couldn't even see Yin Jun's shadow.

So in the past two years, he has become more and more respectful to Yin Jun, and he doesn't even dare to push for manuscripts.

Not to mention that Yin Jun publishes every year, even if Yin Jun publishes a novel every three to five years, it will still be the top one among American writers.

Even Stephen King, the original author of "The Shawshank Redemption", has to admit that Yin Jun has surpassed him by a long way and is not on the same level at all.

Moreover, every year, Yin Jun's previously published novels are constantly being reprinted.

"Jurassic Park" has been reprinted 33 times, and recently another million copies have to be printed to meet market demand.

Conde Henry also knew that if the "Jurassic Park" movie came out, at least 10 million more copies would have to be printed, which might not even be enough.

A lot of people screw up when it comes to book-to-movie adaptations.

But Kant Henry believed that Yin Jun was definitely not one of them.

Not only because Yin Jun has been nominated for Oscar twice and is an out-and-out great director, but also because Conde Henry feels that there is nothing in the world that Yin Jun cannot handle well.

Yin Jun asked him to come over today, and he happened to have something to discuss.

"Master Jun." Calling out the Chinese title he learned from Liang Fengyi, Kant Henry said, "Are you planning to film "The Pianist" recently?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Yin Jun asked smoothly.

The book "The Pianist" was introduced to Henry Kant by Yin Jun. Henry Kant personally went to Poland for this purpose, negotiated a cooperation as quickly as possible, and then published the book.

Because the homepage of "The Pianist" said "Recommended by Mr. Jun", it was very popular from the beginning. It was in the top 30 in the first week, and finally reached the top five.

After the news that Oscar-level director Yin Jun was about to shoot "The Pianist" spread, the book "The Pianist" once again became a bestseller, and even squeezed out Yin Jun's "The Bridge of Dreams" within two weeks. time, he ranked third.

The more books you sell, the more profits you will make.

In just a few months, "The Pianist" has brought the original author a lifetime share of royalties.

This is why he happily agreed to Yin Jun's adaptation of "The Pianist" into a movie.

"The Pianist is someone else's book. Why haven't you thought about making your own book?" Kant Henry said, "We have so many loyal fans of the book. With them alone, our film adaptation will have 200 to 300 million fans." The box office!”

"Book fans may not necessarily become movie fans, nor may they donate movie tickets." Yin Jun said calmly, "And didn't I say it before? The time for "Jurassic Park" has not yet come."

Kant Henry waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, I'm not talking about "Jurassic Park", but "Covered Bridge"."

Yin Jun was slightly stunned, ""The Bridge's Lost Dream"?"

"yes!"

Kant Henry said, "Many people have told me about this, many of them are the wives of big shots. I really don't know why they are so looking forward to it and so positive."

Yin Jun smiled, "Then shouldn't I be happy? The book I wrote can make people like it so much?"

"You should be proud!" Kant Henry said seriously.

It only took Yin Jun less than a month to write "The Lost Dream of the Covered Bridge". It was Henry Conde who spread the word.

So this became another proof that Yin Jun was a genius, and Kant Henry knew that this was absolutely true and definitely not a flattery, so he admired Yin Jun so much.

Yes.

worship!

It is not uncommon for a person in the publishing industry to encounter a genius writer, but a genius like Yin Jun only comes out every hundred years.

It would be strange for anyone who is engaged in this profession not to admire Yin Jun.

""The Bridge's Lost Dreams"!"

Yin Jun began to ponder.

In the previous life, "The Bridge" starred Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.

Among them, the old cowboy Eastwood is also the director.

It stands to reason that these two are both super big-name actors, and "Bridge of Lost Dreams" is indeed a work that impressed many Americans, so they should be able to win some Oscars.

But what is strange is that such an excellent movie adapted from a sensational novel ended up with nothing.

Not only the Oscars, but also the Golden Globe and other awards, they didn't win any of them.

The biggest achievement is that Aunt May was once again nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, but she was just a runner-up.

Therefore, in Yin Jun's subconscious mind, he ignored "The Bridge's Lost Dream".

Of course, the movie must be shot, but Yin Jun will definitely not do it by himself. He thinks the original crew is good.

Eastwood is outstanding in both directing and acting. Yin Jun is quite relieved to leave the crew to him.

But now that Kant Henry talked about it, Yin Jun was a little hesitant.

After all, "The Bridge" is also a work by Yin Jun. If you can shoot it yourself, why not give it a try?

But after thinking about it, Yin Jun decided not to rush for the time being.

If Yin Jun's predictions are good, the old guys will have enough control over this Oscar. As long as "The Pianist" is above the standard, coupled with strong public relations and publicity, he has a chance of winning the Oscar for Best Director. is very big.

After winning an Oscar, and at most producing "Forrest Gump", making Tom Hanks an unprecedented three-time Best Actor winner, Yin Jun will switch to commercial film production.

A good director cannot enter the mainstream without a strong background in commercial films.

For example, a weird genius as awesome as Tim Burton still has to rely on commercial movies such as "Alice in Wonderland" to attract a large budget for himself!

A negative example is the Coen brothers, who have unique styles. Even if they are highly praised, they have not been able to be accepted by the majority of movie fans because they do not have commercial films of sufficient weight.

"Let them wait for a moment!"

After pondering, Yin Jun said to Conde Henry, "I am not ready now. I will try to start filming within 5 years."

"Five years?" Kant Henry smiled bitterly, but did not persuade him any more.

After all, for a director like Yin Jun, he has his own plans. How could he change his mind just because of the strong demands of a group of people?

Otherwise, the fan base of "A Song of Ice and Fire" or "Jurassic Park" would be even larger. If Yin Jun is asked to film, these books should be given priority.

"By the way, Kant, you have to do me a favor during these six months." Yin Jun turned around and said.

"Go ahead!" Kant Henry said without hesitation.

"You try your best to raise the topic of "The Pianist" again. Whether it's asking book critics to comment, asking everyone to discuss it, or inviting the author to the United States to communicate with everyone, it's all fine ." Yin Jun said, "I want to bring "The Pianist" into the eyes of more people in these six months."

"good!"

Kant Henry nodded in agreement.

He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Yin Jun is promoting the movie "The Pianist".

To be precise, it is to let more people understand the history represented by "The Pianist", and to let the old antiques from the film school recall the past again, so that they can have a good impression of "The Pianist" psychologically.

In order to win the award, Young Master Jun really worked hard!
