Chapter 2078 People Who Forge Ahead

Hollywood can best guarantee to make money, even if it loses very little money, horror movies are definitely one of the best.

The other is the youth category of movies.

The characteristic of the two films is that they don't need any famous stars, as long as the plot and story are good, then there will be a large number of audiences to buy it.

Yin Jun asked Yu Rentai to produce three different horror movies for three consecutive years, in order to let the North American branch of Kirin Group take these classic horror movies first.

Then as for whether to shoot one in two years, one in three years, or reshoot after ten or so years, it depends on the intention of the Kirin Group.

Done well, these movies are enough to last 30 years.

On the American film side, Yin Jun didn't worry too much, nor did he think about how to make rapid progress in the past few years.

Kirin Group has developed fast enough in North America, and now it needs to seriously polish the foundation and continuously consolidate its position, which is the most important thing.

If we blindly advance by leaps and bounds, I am afraid that it will lead to continuous expansion and a large number of problems.

In fact, the young man is most concerned about Xiangjiang.

In the future, Hollywood can rely on the advantages of blockbuster films to continuously invade the major film markets.

But Xiangjiang has never relied on these to win audiences.

Most of it still depends on the plot and acting skills.

Or it can also be said that relying on the personal charm of some superstars and relying on their strength to attract fans for Xiangjiang's strength.

The stars of Xiangjiang in the 1980s and 1990s can be described as bright stars. Anyone who has experienced this era can name fifty or sixty stars.

Even if it is a superstar, if you casually mention ten people, you will definitely have no problem.

It is this group of superstars who have created the brilliance of Xiangjiang Films.

However, things happen because of people, but they stop because of people.

When these stars are getting old and no longer have the courage of the past, that is when Xiangjiang Films will be eliminated.

The stars of the 1960s were the most powerful.

The stars of the 1970s can be called rising stars.

The stars of the 80s...but there are only three or two kittens left, which can't support the stage at all.

That's why no one watched Xiangjiang movies in the end.

What Yin Jun has to do now, of course, is the first step is to make good use of the power of the Xiangjiang superstars in the 1960s, making them more fierce and popular than in their previous lives, and laying the best foundation.

Then ten or twenty years later, it is time to train young people in the 70s and 80s.

Right in front of us, Kylin Films has started production of two films.

The first one is called "The Gambler".

That's right, it was the key work that transformed Zhou Xingchi from an ordinary actor to a king.

Yin Jun still chose Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda's partners, and the heroine chose Lizhi for them.

Compared with sexuality and beauty, Lizhi surpassed Zhang Yi ten streets, and in terms of age, Lizhi was also very suitable.

As for the director, it is still Liu Zhenwei.

Liu Zhenwei, who has not collapsed, is actually very talented in comedy. At least before 2000, he was still a very normal director.

In the future, in order to make money, he made many bad movies that make people laugh and cry, and repeatedly ruined the classics in people's hearts.

This is also understandable, because Liu Zhenwei was in his fifties and sixties at that time, and he only wanted to earn money for retirement. As long as he could earn money, he could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't care about other things.

Not to mention him, directors like Tang Jili, Er Dongsheng, and Du Qifeng, don't they also make bad movies to make money?

It's different now. He has just worked for a few years, and he just wants to make a big career, so he is very serious about movies.

Although the current Liu Zhenwei is not as famous as his good friend Wang Jiawei,

Since the previous company closed down, he has also joined Kylin Films, and Kylin Films has been asking him to make some small-produced movies to practice his skills.

With more than a year of experience, coupled with his ability to make movies in the past, Yin Jun decisively chose him to make the movie that made him and Zhou Xingchi famous in the previous life.

Hearing that Jun Shao finally made a movie tailored for him, Zhou Xingchi was so excited that he didn't sleep for several days.

Although he has starred in the first and second parts of "The Good Hand" and the second protagonist of "Curry Pepper", he is not the protagonist in the absolute sense.

Now it is obvious that he is the protagonist, with his old partner and big brother Wu Mengda as the supporting role, and Li Zhi, the handsome woman, as the heroine. Zhou Xingchi knew subconsciously that his game might be popular!

So during the preparation, Zhou Xingchi went to Wu Mengda and Lizhi on purpose to discuss how to perform the trick well.

Lizhi is very interested in acting, and she also wants to become a big star. Now that she is the heroine, she will not take it lightly.

Wu Mengda knew from the very beginning that Yin Jun had great expectations for Zhou Xingchi, so he wanted to assist this young man, play nice with him, and send him off.

A few years ago, Wu Mengda owed a lot of debt because of his extravagance and gambling addiction, and finally filed for personal bankruptcy.

At that time, everyone avoided him, thinking that he would definitely become a bad person.

Only Yin Jun believed that he could stand up again, and gave him the opportunity to play various supporting roles in Jiashi at that time.

After two or three years of continuous acting, Wu Mengda began to appear frequently in movies again.

With this dedication and hard work, at the beginning of this year, he finally got rid of the hat of personal bankruptcy and stood up again.

Among them, he is most grateful to Yin Jun Yin Jun.

Since Yin Jun took control of Jiashi and became Kylin Satellite TV, the salary for his supporting role has exceeded the average person, reaching the level of the average protagonist.

As for the supporting role in the Kirin movie, he also received a high salary.

Otherwise, in another three to five years, I am afraid that we may not be able to pay it off.

So for what Yin Jun said, let him take care of the fledgling Zhou Xingchi, explain to him the methods of acting, and often enlighten Zhou Xingchi who has a somewhat gloomy personality.

The relationship between him and Zhou Xingchi was ten times better than in his previous life.

In addition to acting together, they are also good friends in life, and can even be said to be Zhou Xingchi's teacher.

Coupled with Yin Jun's pressure in this life, the two should not have a falling out.

Yin Jun is also very proud of being able to achieve such a good story of a golden partner, especially when he sees that they are about to set sail, he is a little bit full of emotion.

Starting from "The Gambler", Xingzi will become Brother Xing.

In a few more years, the cheating Xingge will become popular all the way and become Xingye.

And he, who is one of the three superstars on Tuesday and Tuesday, will always be the symbol of Xiangjiang Films.

10% in two weeks is naturally the biggest guarantee for Xiangjiang's box office, but there are still some superstars who are not inferior to them in the slightest.

For example, Li Lianjie, who is very popular in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States.

There is also Liang Jiahui, the god of acting in Xiangjiang.

There are also the two most beloved men in Asia - Liang Chaowei and Zhang Guorong.

If there are only two or three superstars in a place, then there is no future for development.

There must be a group of superstars, and then there are a lot of impressive villains and supporting roles, plus a large group of beauties. Only then can they form a whole and be remembered and liked by people.

Xiangjiang is like this, when hundreds of celebrities are vying to appear in front of people, they will be prosperous, and Xiangjiang will also be prosperous.

But the prosperity of a film industry in a place, of course, is more important than the latter point, that is, you have to keep having newcomers, the so-called "newcomers come out in large numbers", in order to maintain vitality, otherwise you will see those old faces for decades, and then you will never be able to continue. That's what I like.

Speaking of which, there is another movie that will be launched at the same time in November.

This is "Days of Being Wild" starring Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu.

Originally, "Days of Being Wild" in the previous life was Zhang Guorong's classic work, and many people would recite the jokes of "One Minute Friend" and "Legless Bird" in it.

But Yin Jun showed the book to Liang Chaowei and Zhang Guorong at the same time. Zhang Guorong is not very interested in such movies. Recently, he has become obsessed with costume movies. He has one in Golden Harvest and New Art City, and the schedule is not available. .

Zhang Guorong in this life is completely reversed compared to the aggrieved and unsatisfactory experience of performing arts in the previous ten years in his previous life.

The term "letting oneself go" is not an exaggeration when applied to him.

He will do whatever he wants to do, very chic and at ease.

Liang Chaowei really likes this script, especially the heroine of this movie is his girlfriend.

Zhang Manyu liked his own role better, so he pestered Liang Chaowei to come too, so he readily agreed.

Even "Days of Being Wild" only has a basic salary of 1 million Hong Kong dollars and a 2% box office share.

You know, Liang Chaowei is now in North America, and all he gets is a basic salary of 1 million US dollars, and there is a wider market in North America, 2% of the box office, almost three to four million US dollars for each movie is more than enough.

The box office of the literary and artistic films here is definitely not high, and at most 5 million will be a big deal, which is completely incomparable with the 30 million or so Hong Kong dollar remuneration of commercial films.

But today's Liang Chaowei has enough money and his family is well taken care of, so his desire for money is far less strong than in his previous life.

For him, making some interesting movies is also a kind of enjoyment.

It's just that both of them don't know that the director of this movie is called Wang Jiawei, and he is also the magic star they hit.

Zhang Manyu and Liang Chaowei are known as the best actress and actor partners in Xiangjiang movies, and they are also recognized as super acting schools. Half of the credit should be credited to Wang Jiawei.

It was Wang Jiawei's bit by bit grinding of the lens that carved them into what they will be in the future.

But on the other hand, the personalities of the two have also changed a lot.

Liang Chaowei was originally a handsome and playful guy, and Zhang Manyu was also a very lively girl.

But the two of them were forcibly ground into gloomy personalities, and their lives were not very happy, which is really a pity.

Fortunately, Yin Jun was there.

Yin Jun's request to Wang Jiawei is that no matter how you train the acting skills of the two of them, you can't do it desperately, and you can't squeeze it too hard.

And don't think about how to act like you are doing, if you do that, I will make it impossible for you to make movies in Xiangjiang, or even the whole world, and no one will dare to use you.

Faced with Yin Jun's outlandish request, Wang Jiawei was horrified and somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't doubt Yin Jun's words at all.

As long as Yin Jun is determined to kill a person, especially when it comes to movies, it's really easy.

No one dared to fight against Yin Jun in this regard.

Although Wang Jiawei is stubborn and has his own pursuit, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

Even if he is already famous with "Carmen in Mong Kok" and many companies are paying attention to him, there is no way to give him the slightest confidence.

Facing the existence that he would never be able to contend against, he could only choose to submit.

He was put under a magic spell from the very beginning, and no matter how hard he wanted to keep improving, he still had to consider the feelings of the actors.

Of course, Yin Jun wouldn't just ask him strictly, but not give him any benefits.

After Wang Jiawei compromised, he got Yin Jun's promise not to care about his budget or his shooting cycle.

This made Wang Jiawei very pleased.

His character just isn't the kind that likes to shoot movies quickly.

It is normal for Xiangjiang's movies to be finished in two months, but only in three months. Basically, there are only Kirin Films, as well as the films of Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long.

To be honest, this time period is not too short.

But Wang Jiawei felt that two or three months can only be regarded as a preliminary run-in. If you want to make a classic movie, it should take at least half a year, and you must have a better and more delicate performance.

So Yin Jun didn't ask for his time, but also gave him a lot of freedom in arranging the film budget. In other words, he gave him a sweet date, which made him feel a lot less aggrieved.

Right now, he is ready to practice with "Days of Being Wild"!
