Chapter 1937 Tribute to Hong Kong Movies
"You are the person who knows Sister Hong's acting and martial arts movements best, and I can't find another director in all of Hong Kong who can best express the bloody and brutal atmosphere of my movie." Yin Jun looked at the mix of surprises sincerely. Chuck, said: "So I hope you can help me, and also help Sister Hong."
The jade foot in Yin Jun's hand moved again. Apparently, Sister Hong thought that Yin Jun was deliberately supporting Chuck to make him gain fame and wealth again, so she chose him as the director.
You know, Yin Jun has many directors in his hands.
Even if the directors in Hong Kong are not good enough, are there not enough outstanding directors in Hollywood?
Yin Jun can even persuade Spielberg to take over a movie, let alone other directors.
So Hui Yinghong didn't believe what Yin Jun meant by "only Chuck Can do it".
She thought that Yin Jun wanted to take care of Chuck because he loved Wujiwu.
Yes.
Care and support are perfect for Yin Jun's attitude towards Chuck.
Despite the forty or fifty year age difference between the two, Yin Jun's status far exceeds that of Chuck Cannon.
The success of Chuck's Longbow Film Co., Ltd. is largely due to Yin Jun.
Whether it is "The Golden Guard" or "The Three Heroes of the East", they are two extremely excellent series of movies, which have brought Chuck a large amount of income and fame.
It also allowed Chuck to stand firm in this ever-changing era and not be eliminated by the times.
Chuck himself obviously knew this, so when he faced Yin Jun, he never looked like he was relying on his elders.
He knows his strengths and his weaknesses.
Yin Jun can make up for his shortcomings and allow him to continue filming his favorite film career, which is also a kindness.
What the older generation of filmmakers remember is kindness.
I originally thought that Yin Jun agreed to give him another "The Three Heroes of the East" because of Hui Yinghong, or even because of Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci's senior brother Wei Xiaofan. This should be It's the last one.
After all, Yin Jun owns three film companies and two TV stations. They all need Yin Jun to provide scripts, and Chuck is just an outsider.
It is very generous and interesting to be able to provide two movies that can be made into a series, "The Golden Guard" and "The Three Heroes of the East".
According to his current shooting ability, as well as his understanding of the plot and market, he can definitely shoot "The Golden Guard" one year, then switch to "The Three Heroes" the next year, and then find a script in the third year Come and try shooting. It doesn’t matter whether you make money or lose. Anyway, you are shooting what you like, and you have the ability to bear the possible losses.
This process is repeated in the fourth year, and the total time is 9 years.
He is already sixty years old. Isn’t it enough to take pictures until he retires at the age of 70?
Contented!
Therefore, Chuck understood in his heart that he worked more actively and seriously to create "The Golden Guard" and "The Three Heroes of the East".
Although "Jin Yi Wei" suffered a slight setback before, it was not a hit on the whole. It was just that the audience's expectations were a little higher. "Ji Yi Wei 3" failed to meet everyone's expectations.
Now that I have a better grasp of the market, there is no problem in shooting the "Jinyiwei" series again.
Unexpectedly, another huge pie came to Yin Jun's door.
Chuck doesn't care much about how much money this movie can make, but he is very concerned about "the ability to promote Hui Yinghong into an international action star."
Now that the heroines have become international action stars, doesn't he, the director, also become an international director?
Chuck made 100 million in "The Three Heroes of the East". This amount of money alone is enough for him and his wife to support themselves in old age, not to mention future income.
But he longed for the name.
If I become a great international director before retiring, I will really have no regrets.
"I do!"
Thoughts flashed by, and Chuck immediately agreed.
No fool would direct a script written by Yin Jun, especially a movie carefully prepared for Hui Yinghong.
But after agreeing, Chuck was a little curious, "Master Jun, are you so kind to A Hong because you fancy her potential? Do you think she will definitely become a world-class martial arts star?"
Hui Yinghong couldn't help but want to laugh.
Of course she knew what Yin Jun was doing. Wasn't it just that he slept with her and then felt sorry for herself for working so hard in acting, so she wanted to compensate herself more?
But Chuck must not let Chuck know about this, especially if he knew that his overlord had forced himself on Yin Jun, he would definitely faint from fear.
Yin Jun could only cough lightly, "This must be fate. Sister Hong and I have known each other for so long. If we don't praise our own people, then who should I praise? Action movies are our strong point in Xiangjiang. Among female stars, except for her, , who else is qualified?"
Hearing this, Hui Yinghong nodded, very satisfied.
She is still very confident in her own strength, which means Yin Jun knows herself very well!
Seeing that what Yin Jun said was similar to what he thought, Chuck didn't think about it any more, but asked about the new movie with great interest, "What kind of movie is it?"
"It's a story about the revenge of a former female killer." Yin Jun said simply: "Sister Hong is a female killer who retired from the world, but on the day of her wedding when she was pregnant, she was taken away by her former boss Bill. Someone came in and the boss Bill shot her in the head...it was already 4 years later when she woke up, and then she started her journey of revenge."
Then the boy spent a few minutes telling the heroine's revenge story.
Her enemies involved include Japanese female ninjas, flying chain killers, karate masters, fighting masters... and so on.
Listening to Yin Jun explain the process and thrill of the killing, Chuck and Hui Yinghong were also immersed in this story.
Only then did Chuck understand why Yin Jun had to let himself direct.
Such cruel and bloody fighting is indeed what I am best at!
Moreover, what Yin Jun requires is fast-action and fast-paced fighting. This kind of skill has been practiced in "Jinyiwei" and "The Three Heroes of the East" in the past two years, and he is very familiar with it.
Simple, rough, cruel, pleasant...
Putting all these factors together, this is the mode of work that I like best and am best at.
But some details have to be learned from Yin Jun's script and storyboard drawings.
Based on Chuck's experience, these details are the most important thing in making a good movie.
The reason why the films he made around the 1980s were not popular was because of the details that made them close to the audience and please the market.
However, Chuck naturally didn't know that this movie was actually a tribute to him from a Hollywood genius.
This genius is called Quentin Tarantino, and he is a fan of Hong Kong movies. Many of the scenes in his movies are from Hong Kong movies.
The script for "Kill Bill" written by Yin Jun was written by Quentin Tarantino.
Before filming, Quentin Tarantino asked the cameraman to watch more than twenty movies, half of which were Chuck's.
And he didn't use digital production or special effects props. Those scenes of blood exploding were specially created using Chuck's methods. ——Ahem, I used a condom filled with fake blood, and then let it explode, causing the plasma to fly. This was the first of its kind by Chuck.
Then the idea of putting a camera on the roof to shoot the action scenes below was also Chuck's.
With this kind of effect, the movie produced is very good.
The difference between Quentin Tarantino and Chuck Cannon lies in his control of the plot, his clean killing scenes, and... and the fact that he uses a woman as the protagonist.
The core of the fight is the same, but just because of what's wrapped around it is different, the quality and popularity of the movie is different.
Saying this will really make people feel emotional.
Therefore, Chuck Can only be a kung fu film master in Hong Kong, and Quentin Tarantino is a movie genius in the world.
You said, how could Yin Jun let someone else direct such a movie?
It must be "returned to its original owner"!
Just when Yin Jun and Chuck were thinking about something, Hui Yinghong asked: "Ajun, how are you going to calculate the revenue share for this movie?"
"Oh, this movie will be distributed by United Artists Film Company, but the production is still produced by our team here in Xiangjiang." Yin Jun said with the plan he had thought up, "We here Wang Jing, Xu Ke and McDonald's Bear, They are all paid based on 15% of the profit. Director Zhang does not have to contribute any money during the production, but you will pay all the expenses of your team... Is there a problem with this? "
"no problem."
Chuck agreed readily.
This is also the studio situation in Xiangjiang.
Who doesn’t know that Yin Jun’s movies make money?
The studio takes 15% of the total profit, which can amount to tens of millions at least. For example, Wang Jing has received two dividends worth hundreds of millions.
For a while, people from the club wanted to kidnap Wang Jing and demand money. He was so frightened that he quickly asked Yin Jun to send several bodyguards from the Qilin Security Team to follow him.
Chuck knew that Yin Jun would not treat him badly, so all that was left was to make a good movie seriously and praise his apprentice.
"By the way, what about Ahong's treatment?" Chuck asked casually.
"Sister Hong's dividend is also based on the previous "Overlord Flower", which is about 2%." Yin Jun scratched her feet and asked with a smile, "Sister Hong, are you satisfied?"
Such an itchy feeling made Hui Yinghong tremble all over.
"What's wrong? Are you cold?" Chuck noticed something strange about her.
"Oh, nothing, nothing..." Hui Yinghong replied quickly.
Then she glared at Yin Jun again, "I have no objection. Ajun's movies will never treat me badly. Otherwise, how can he explain to me?"
From an angle that Chuck did not see, Hui Yinghong said to Yin Jun word by word with her mouth shape: "You are going to die tonight!"
The young man couldn't help but laugh.
Although you are the number one martial arts star in Hong Kong, how can I be a silver gun wax head?
We still don’t know who will win!
