Chapter 190 Keep up with the Times (Fifth Update!)

Guan Shan didn't know that even with Yin Jun's face, no one else could give him such a high salary.

Take McDonald Bear's "A Thousand Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love" as an example. He was originally the third male lead. Although there are many opportunities to appear on the stage, they are not too many overall. Therefore, if it is a beautiful actor to play, they will cost the most That is about 10,000.

But McDonald's price for Guan's shirt was directly doubled, and the extra remuneration was naturally posted by Yin Jun himself.

And the same is true of Hung Kam Po's upcoming "Owl and Dumbo", and even more so of Xiao Sheng's "Shanghai Beach".

For Yin Jun, this is the most appropriate way for him to help him without hurting Guan Shan's self-esteem.

As for what he wants to do in the future, it has to be said later.

If Guan Shan can spend a lifetime with that woman, then it's up to him.

If there is a quarrel in the future, and he wants to go back to be with his wife and children, that's okay.

Anyway, besides not letting Guan Zhilin have any accidents, Yin Jun just ensures that the rest of the Guan family can live comfortably.

Based on Yin Jun's understanding of Guan Shan, he will definitely take on these scenes.

In reality, many people with high spirits will succumb to life.

Guan Shan no longer has a film company, so if he doesn't want to sit still, he will definitely work harder.

At this time, Yin Jun was concerned about the first-day box office of Cheng Long's "The Master of Boxing".

The box office statistics of a movie are usually calculated and released by the theater chain and the movie theater themselves. Usually, it is quite satisfactory.

For some small-scale films, in order to deceive foreign buyers to buy out their copyrights, they will deliberately bribe theaters to increase statistical data and make others feel that their films are very profitable.

But the copyright buyers in other places are not fools. If you say that you cheated a little to make two or three hundred thousand box office, they will not say anything, but if it is released in a week or two, you insist on saying that your movie sold for 200,000. 10,000, or even 3 million, it would be too contemptuous of other people's IQ.

Even if the data of theater chains and movie theaters can be falsified, the length of time they play movies cannot be falsified.

Those kinds of movies that have been released for 20 days or a month are generally not much worse.

Therefore, in addition to looking at the box office they counted, movie copyright buyers in other cities have to consider and weigh many aspects before considering whether to import a movie back.

With Cheng Long's "Snake-shaped Hand" and "Drunken Master", the two films are not only popular in Xiangjiang, but also very popular in other parts of Asia. Kung fu superstar.

So seeing that "Fist of the Boxer" was going to be released, some publishers from out of town who dared to gamble came to negotiate the price before the release.

It's a pity that Luo Wei thinks too highly of himself. He feels that "The Master of Boxing", which he wrote, edited by Cheng Long, and directed and acted by himself, will definitely break the box office record of "Drunken Master" and set a new high. It's a loss.

Golden Harvest and Luo Wei have similar ideas. They own half of the copyright, and this time they chose to support Luo Wei.

As a result, the results on the first day were only about 250,000. Not only Jiahe and Luo Wei were surprised, but everyone in the film industry was also very surprised.

Cheng Long is already such a well-known kung fu star, and he dare not say that he can break the 850,000 first-day box office of "Seven Days of Love". Looking forward, the general score should be around 400,000.

But this is actually a score of 250,000, which is a bit too low.

But after everyone's perception of watching movies came out, this data seemed normal again.

"Although it's still funny, it's a bit old-fashioned, and it doesn't quite fit the taste."

"The abbot of Shaolin Temple is a villain at first glance, and the plot is not particularly interesting. Can you challenge it a bit?"

"Cheng Long's fight is still very exciting, but the layout is too small!"

"..."

Comments from audiences and newspapers have a direct impact on box office results.

In the next six days, including the box office on Saturday and Sunday, the weekly box office was only 1.32 million. Everyone knows that Cheng Long's "The Boxing King" has a box office of about 3 million at best.

Fortunately, Cheng Long's movies are basically based on him, and there are no other stars involved. Most of the scenes of this "Fisting King" can be filmed at Golden Harvest's Fushan Road studio. The production cost is not high, only 80 Otherwise, Jiahe and Luo Weineng would vomit blood from depression.

Even so, many film dealers in other places still value Cheng Long's fame and performance. The copyright price of "Fist Master" in other places has been sold for more than 3 million, and finally regained a little face.

Seeing that "Fisting Essence" did not achieve half of the expected goal, Jiahe felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking that there was still a "Dragon Fist" that Luo Wei had planned, they became more and more uncertain.

However, Cheng Long insisted on finishing the two films he had promised Luo Wei, and then made the film he wrote and directed, so Jiahe could only let him.

Yin Jun will not be surprised at all that "Fisting Essence" can achieve such a result.

If it weren't for Cheng Long's considerable revisions to "Fighting Essence", it would probably be the same as the previous life, and would not get a total box office of 2.5 million.

Luo Wei's thinking has completely fallen behind this era. He always repeats the elements and conditions of Li Xiaolong's success, thinking that this will make Cheng Long successful.

Little do they know that there is only one Li Xiaolong, and each era has its own characteristics, and it is always necessary to keep pace with the times to be successful.

Even if Li Xiaolong is still alive, if he keeps his style unchanged, he will surely fall slowly.

According to the current situation, at least Cheng Long will have to wait until the release of "Laughing Fist Strange Tricks" conceived by himself, before he can truly establish his own style.

Speaking of it, Luo Wei was really unlucky. In order to let Cheng Long make more money for himself, he didn't even think about letting Cheng Long conceive a work by himself.

In his previous life, Luo Wei also asked Cheng Long to shoot "Fighting Master" after he took it back from Wu Siyuan, but his grades were not good, so he asked Cheng Long to create it himself, and the final "Laughing Fist Strange Trick" was as high as 550 The local box office was around 10,000 yuan, and it won the box office champion of the year.

Then Luo Wei got excited again, and then asked Cheng Long to make another "Dragon Fist", but the result was mediocre again, which made him extremely depressed.

What made Luo Wei even more depressed was that after Cheng Long was poached by Golden Harvest, he never made a film for him again, and he could only watch Cheng Long become Golden Harvest's cash cow.

Luo Wei made the same mistake in this life, thinking that Cheng Long had already left anyway, but since he promised to make two movies for himself, he would take out the two movies he had prepared a long time ago and let Cheng Long Take pictures to make money for yourself.

Both "Fist of Fist" and "Dragon Fist" are too old-fashioned scripts, but Luo Wei doesn't think so, and they are mainly produced by their own company, which can save a lot of cost.

If Luo Wei was smarter and let Cheng Long produce the two films himself, and he only had to invest money in them, then the rewards would be unimaginably rich.

It's a pity that he has always been only clever, and has no business wisdom at all.

This is also the reason why after the Hong Kong film market booms in the future, he still has to spend all his wealth to make movies with his own thinking that is more than 20 years behind.

Such a reckless action had a tragic ending, tens of millions were lost, and he almost died of anger.

Yin Jun didn't care much about the cooperation between Luo Wei and Cheng Long.

He has to write several books in his hand, especially to guide Huang Boming to fill in and expand "Owl and Dumbo", so he also seems very busy.

It is really not an easy task to expand the content of the dozen or so draft papers given by Yin Jun into hundreds of pages of detailed scripts, plus more detailed sub-scripts.

Huang Boming is 32 years old this year, but he doesn't put on airs at all. He would come to Yin Jun's house every morning and show Yin Jun the script he filled in and expanded, and then Yin Jun would discuss with him and point out his aspects deficiencies and areas for improvement.

To be honest, Huang Boming is quite conceited about his screenwriting ability.

He used to think that the reason why he was not famous was because he lacked opportunities. If he was given a chance, although he would not be as famous as Yin Jun, he could still become a first-class screenwriter.

But following Yin Jun's study and discussion for ten days, Huang Boming's concept has changed a lot.

Most of the plots and screenwriting methods that he was proud of before were rejected by Yin Jun.

What Yin Jun gave, however, was a plot development like flowing clouds and flowing water, as well as various foreshadowing ideas that did not require too much brainwork, but also aroused the audience's interest in exploration. The whole script he revised looked like, It's like watching a movie that has already been made, very hearty and dripping.

In Yin Jun's conception, it doesn't have to be a lowly person to be funny. A serious fat man can make the audience laugh out loud with his inadvertent actions and words. This is his deep foundation.

As for the fighting, Yin Jun also resolutely eliminated those fights that were like playful, but pursued a kind of reality. Although it is much more difficult in the structure and writing, and he has to learn some knowledge of fighting skills, but this It is also a kind of self-improvement.

Originally, a script could be written in about 100 pages, but because the first script needed to be adjusted, Huang Boming revised it five or six times, and wrote a total of more than 300 pages, but it was not fully finalized.

But Huang Boming didn't feel that he was too wasteful, but had a feeling of being reborn.

He knew that for himself now, the scripts for filling and expansion were not excellent, but he had already found a direction.

As long as you develop in this direction, you will definitely be able to truly succeed!

In order to achieve this goal, no matter how hard and difficult it is, Huang Boming feels that he can persevere!
