Chapter 1715 The Best Campus Film Director

Not two days after arriving in the United States, Carlson, who was responsible for the preliminary preparations, called Yin Jun.

The layout of the town in Prague, Czech Republic, is almost complete at this time.

A street that needs to be built can be built faster because there is enough money and there is no need to pay too much attention to the quality. The most important thing is the appearance and one or two buildings that can be used for outdoor shooting. Therefore, it can be built faster and will be ready for use in July at the latest.

Of course, this is definitely not the same thing. It has the same footings and supporting columns, but because most of them are two or three-story buildings, it is very easy to build.

Not only the buildings, but also the actors have been selected.

As soon as they heard that Yin Jun was coming to film the movie in person, actors from the Czech Republic and surrounding countries were all very excited. Even top-notch actors came over to audition for roles.

By the way, the current Czech Republic, still called Czechoslovakia, has not yet been divided into two countries.

However, as Big Brother has become increasingly weak in recent years, its influence has gradually weakened, and some Western-oriented ideas and economic behaviors have appeared in these countries.

For example, when it comes to movies, they have a lot of autonomy.

Although Yin Jun comes from China in the East, he is the number one tycoon in Hollywood and a first-class director. There are many people who want to appear in Yin Jun's movies.

What if you seize this opportunity, are spotted by Yin Jun, and take yourself to Hollywood for development?

Even if you don't like it, with your qualifications of starring in Yin Jun's movies, you will have great advantages in making movies and developing in the future!

Not only did Carlson go to the Czech Republic first, but Tom Hanks also went to Poland as early as April and began to experience life there.

He even went to the home of Schippilmann, the original author of "The Pianist", and asked him to teach him how to play the piano.

Even Yin Jun admired him for this.

You must know that everyone's habits are different. Just because Americans play the piano this way does not mean that the British do the same, let alone the Poles.

"The Pianist" was originally the autobiography of the author Schipilman. The piano playing and techniques he talked about in it were all written according to his own habits.

If it were acted by actors, there would definitely not be any big problems, but some small details would definitely be different.

Tom Hanks wanted to be the same as the author in every detail, so that he could better express the artistic conception of the book and perform a living young Sippilman.

How about saying that Tom Hanks is the king of acting in Hollywood after the 1980s?

Based on this alone, don’t you think they should succeed?

The soul of "The Pianist" is only Tom Hanks. For the other German officer, Yin Jun specifically asked Carlson to find a local German actor in order to make the actor closer to reality.

The only ones left are Yin Jun and the production team.

Now that the preparations are complete, they will fly to the Czech Republic in the next two days.

However, before leaving, Yin Jun still had someone he wanted to meet.

This man's name is John Hughes, a screenwriter under Disney.

Last year, Yin Jun saw a movie script for "Happy Holidays" written by John Hughes.

Because Yin Jun is a screenwriter, after receiving good scripts, the two Hollywood companies, Disney and United Artists, will select them and show them to Yin Jun to prevent them from missing out on good scripts.

It was under such circumstances that "Happy Holiday" appeared in front of Yin Jun.

Just seeing John Hughes's name, Yin Jun felt familiar. After looking at his photo, Yin Jun recognized this great man.

This is the original screenwriter of "Home Alone"!

Not only "Home Alone", but also "Spring Is Not a Reading Day", produced the year before last, was also written and directed by John Hughes.

One of the lines, "The world is big, let me go and see it first", decades later, has been regarded as a golden line by young literary and artistic people!

Yin Jun loved the works of John Hughes in his previous life.

As some of his critics say, John Hughes was a rare man of pure mind.

This is reflected in all his works.

His writing and directing works are full of childlike innocence and fun, without any violence or extremes. They all discuss topics related to passionate youth, just like he was a high school student.

Such a mentality makes him the best choice to direct comedies.

Many times, comedy is just as pure as possible.

Compared with "American Pie", which is loved by countless young people in North America, it is reasonable for "Home Alone" to be the number one box office in the world.

For such a director, Yin Jun naturally wanted to recruit Disney.

Although John Hughes was not the director of "Happy Holidays", Yin Jun arranged for him to be an assistant director, allowing him to observe how others made movies.

Then Yin Jun successively arranged several movies for him, with different styles, and also asked him to work as an assistant director to familiarize himself with various aspects of shooting.

John Hughes likes writing and photographing youth themes the most, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t be familiar with other themes, and he can’t take out the strengths and add them to his own field.

After more than a year, John Hughes has gained relatively rich experience.

So he wrote his second script, "Sixteen Candles," and submitted it to Disney's script review department.

The box office of "Happy Holidays" is probably more than 30 million, and the subsequent income will be between 10 million and 10 million. Its cost is only more than 5 million US dollars, which is a small-cost production.

This would be considered a big profit.

Therefore, John Hughes was more confident and continued to produce his second work.

Yin Jun happened to be in the United States recently. After seeing this script, he called John Hughes to his office.

John Hughes, 34 years old, is not as obese as he has been since middle age. Wearing glasses, he looks gentle and handsome, but not ostentatious.

This also fits his character.

"Boss!" John Hughes greeted Yin Jun a little cautiously.

As a screenwriter, of course he knows how outstanding Yin Jun is.

Countless screenwriters around the world are working hard, not trying to catch up or even surpass Yin Jun, but just trying to get closer to Yin Jun, and that's enough.

John Hughes believes that he has good screenwriting abilities, but when compared with screenwriters like Yin Jun who have amazing talents in many fields and categories, there is a huge difference.

He really couldn't imagine that an author who could write "Forrest Gump" and "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" could also write stories like "Jurassic Park" and "A Song of Ice and Fire".

That’s all.

The key is that Yin Jun is also the author of "Saw". Such a story full of horror and thriller is completely different from the previous categories!

But "Saw" was a huge success and was called the best horror film in the past ten years. This makes people admire Yin Jun's talent. He is indeed a natural talent!

"sit down!"

Yin Jun smiled and waved, "John, I read your new script, it's very good!"

John Hughes felt a blush, "No, no, my writing is still very immature and needs improvement."

"What I said is true." Yin Jun laughed dumbly, "Not every script writer can have your youthful sensitivity. As for the thoughts of young boys and girls, as well as their habitual actions, you In "Sixteen Candles", everything is expressed to the fullest. Watching this story, it's like I'm back in high school, back to those sunny days."

John Hughes was slightly startled and thought to himself, boss, you don’t seem to have gone to high school, right?

According to the information everyone has learned, boss, most of your knowledge comes from those mysterious grandfathers and grandmothers in the orphanage!

But he didn't think much about it, thinking it was an analogy of Yin Jun.

Just a metaphor.

But Yin Jun was actually talking about his past life.

The young man really remembered his youthful years, those youthful play, first love, worries...etc., these are rare memories in life!

After waking up from his memories, Yin Jun smiled faintly and said: "I like this script very much. You go back and prepare, apply for all the preparatory work, and work hard!"

"Well!?"

John Hughes thought he heard wrongly, "Boss, what did you say? I'll make the overall arrangements?"

The director should do the overall planning work, he is just the assistant director!

Is it because "Sixteen Candles" is my own work, so it would be more effective to prepare it myself?

"Yes." Yin Jun said, "Why, you still can't accept being a director?"

director! !

John Hughes's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He's actually the director!

I actually have to direct a movie alone, and it’s still my own work! !

This, this is such a blessing from heaven! !

If we follow normal procedures, it should be at least two or three years before he gets a chance, definitely not so soon.

"I...I'm worried that I...can't take pictures well..."

After being excited, John Hughes was a little trepidatious and seemed very unsure.

Although he has worked on five or six crews in the past year or so and learned a lot of relevant knowledge, he still doesn't have much confidence in directing a movie by himself.

"It doesn't matter. For your first movie, just find an experienced assistant director to assist you. That's what I did back then." Yin Jun said harmoniously, "Go ahead and do it bravely! I believe that the script you wrote can only Only you can best express the meaning! And making such an interesting movie is exactly what I want to see. Only such a movie makes sense!!"

"I……"

John Hughes opened his mouth and his face turned red.

The next moment, he nodded heavily, "Boss, please look at my performance. I will definitely work hard!!"
