Chapter 2080 Martial Arts Stars
Xiangjiang currently has a lot of movies, and basically about two of them will be screened in the three major theaters every week.
In addition to the films supervised by several major companies, there are also dozens of small and medium-sized film companies.
Most of them are local capitals of Xiangjiang, but some are capitals of Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and even Formosa.
It was in the early 1990s that such a large amount of capital came to share a piece of the pie in the previous life.
It was the heyday of Xiangjiang movies at that time, so everyone wanted to get something to eat from this pot of rice.
But this life is different. From the past two years, with the collapse of Shaw Brothers and the rise of brands such as Yongsheng, Xiangjiang's films have been very strong.
Today, at least 60% of the movies shown in Asia are from Hong Kong, the remaining 30% are from Hollywood, and the remaining 10% are from other countries.
Although there are good and bad here, most of the Xiangjiang movies that can appear in theaters outside the city are at least standard.
In this way, many people think that the movies produced by Xiangjiang are the best among the best, and they are works of conscience, so go ahead and watch them.
As everyone knows, this is the result of the joint control of Yin Jun and several major theaters.
Kylin Cinemas is currently the largest cinema chain in the world, and it is the only one in Asia. Whenever Xiangjiang Films wants to make a lot of money in other cities, they will definitely choose Kylin Cinemas.
Because although Kylin Cinemas and Kylin Films are a family, they operate separately. Only movies that meet their standards can be shown in Kylin Cinemas, otherwise even your films from Kylin Films will not work.
The same is true for other companies' movies. No matter how many stars you have or how big your production is, you must meet the requirements before you can arrange as many movie theaters according to the excitement of the movie.
Because this standard was formulated by Yin Jun, no one dared to say that it was tricky.
As vested interests, the Golden Harvest, Golden Princess and other theaters and big film companies also want to sell more of their films and make them last longer. Therefore, with their support, the small and medium-sized film companies below really have nothing to do. Method.
They can only go to other places to make money if they do their best to make good movies.
Of course, no matter how powerful Yin Jun is, no matter how powerful the Kirin theater chain is, in fact, many movies cannot be avoided and sold to other places in various ways.
For example, theater operators in other cities buy out the copyright, for example, make it into a video tape and sell it in various countries and regions.
As for the quality of the former movie, theater operators are not fools, so they will naturally choose relatively good ones, so they will not turn the stove down and ruin their reputation.
Although the latter videotape can be produced by anyone on the surface, it is still facing distributors from various countries, and it must be sold to various countries and regions through their hands and channels.
Therefore, by the same token, videotapes must be good in order to sell more. Otherwise, be careful that you will not even be able to make back the cost of recording the videotapes, let alone make money.
Due to various factors, those movies that are crudely made up and have no sincerity are basically eliminated in Xiangjiang, and there will not be many leaks to damage Xiangjiang's reputation.
Today is Friday, and the movie premiered at the Lee Theater is called "Three Heroes of the East 2".
Any film that can choose to have a premiere at the Lee Stage is a temporary choice. Otherwise, if you don’t have the strength, but come here to hold a grand premiere, wouldn’t it be ridiculous?
"Three Heroes of the East 2" is of course a good movie.
After its first film was released in October last year, it sold 600 million Hong Kong dollars at the Asian box office in six weeks, which is the best score among all Chuck's films.
Even the copyrights in Europe and the United States were bought by United Artists Film Company for 8 million US dollars.
Excluding all expenses, including Yin Jun and the actors' dividends, Chuck earned more than 130 million Hong Kong dollars in this movie.
It's just that the three films made by the other directors of Zhang's class last year actually lost more than 20 million in total, which made Chuck only earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars last year.
As Chuck's Changhe Company produced "Three Heroes of the East 2", the script was also the first to be undertaken, and it was also written by Yin Jun.
Over the years, even if Yin Jun has provided scripts to other companies, even if these scripts can produce sequels, Yin Jun is rarely willing to write them himself. At most, he will give an idea and idea for other editors to think for themselves.
But the relationship between Yin Jun and Chuck is different. Chuck's goddaughter Hui Yinghong is a good friend Yin Jun met when he came to Xiangjiang. Of course Yin Jun will agree to write this script.
More than that.
Today, Yin Jun personally came to the Lee Stage to cheer for Mr. Zhang.
When I came here, the entrance of the Lee Stage was star-studded.
Di Long, who was rejuvenated in his second spring, stood in a prominent position, and Jiang Dawei, who became more refined, was also present. The rest of Chuck's disciples, no matter how big or small, were accompanying the master to greet the guests.
Chuck has been cultivating in Xiangjiang for decades, and has known and promoted many stars. Today, at least thirty or fifty came.
Yin Jun even saw that Zhou Runfa brought Chen Yulian in just now, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu stood beside Fu Sheng and Zhen Ni, chatting and laughing non-stop.
"Young Master Jun!"
Di Long saw Yin Jun getting out of the car at a glance, and hurriedly confessed to the people around him, and walked over quickly: "Thank you for coming!"
"It should." Yin Jun said with a smile: "How are you doing recently?"
"Very good!" Di Long grinned from ear to ear, "Next year we will be making "Taken 3" again, and I am now reserving my energy for exercise."
"Come on, there is still room for exploration in this movie." Yin Jundao encouraged.
"Yes, I will work hard!" Di Long said gratefully.
If Zhao Yazhi hadn't found Yin Jun, he would have almost passed away. Where would he be today?
Among Xiangjiang's superstars, he can't be regarded as the top three, but with the series of "The Storm" series, he has made his name in Europe and America, and he can be regarded as a second-rate world-class star!
Even leading him to accept three advertising endorsements in Europe and the United States, this income alone is about 5 million U.S. dollars per year, which can be said to be a lot of money.
At this time Chuck also saw Yin Jun, and came over to thank Yin Jun.
Accompanying him are three radiant heroines.
Huiyinghong is wearing a red dress, a color that ordinary women can't afford, but it sets off her heroic appearance very well, making her look even more radiant.
"Congratulations to Sister Hong, congratulations to the big movie!"
Yin Jun smiled and hugged Hui Yinghong gently, but whispered in her ear quickly and softly: "I'll go to your house tonight."
Having been an old couple for so long, Yin Jun is naturally much more courageous than before. Anyway, Sister Hong is also a fierce talker. Even if Yin Jun has excessive demands on weekdays, how can he be willing to really beat Yin Jun?
Huiying's red face instantly turned red.
She let go of Yin Jun, glared at this guy without a trace, and then smiled again, "Come on, Ah Jun, do you think our Yang Mei is more beautiful?"
Hui Yinghong introduced Yang Ziqiong, of course.
Yang Ziqiong is now in his twenties.
When Yang Ziqiong was young, she was really much prettier than when she was in her 50s or 60s.
In particular, she has a perfect foundation for dancing, so she has a very good figure. Wearing a black tight dress, she has a sense of nobility.
In Yin Jun's view, if a woman is a little older, she must not be too thin, otherwise her skin will break down, she will not look good at all, and she will easily look scary.
For example, this is the case with Li Jiaxin, and it is the same with Yang Ziqiong now that he is older.
If they don't wear makeup, they will definitely not dare to go out.
On the contrary, for a blessed woman like Aunt Qingxia, as long as she dresses up well, the skin on her face will not look loose, and she will look much more attractive.
"Miss Yang's hard work this year, we can all see that you still need to take care of your health!" Yin Jun also smiled and hugged her, and then said: "The future of Xiangjiang martial arts female stars depends on everything." Rely on you newcomers to support it!"
Yang Ziqiong starred in "Three Heroes of the East" in the second half of last year. As a result, from the end of the year to the first half of this year, she took on 3 martial arts movies in a row, one of which was a scene with Hong Jinbao.
Because there were too many fighting scenes, even with a double, Yang Ziqiong was injured several times, and the most serious one almost didn't break her leg.
It is also for this reason that Chuck's "Three Heroes of the East 2" was almost replaced. Fortunately, Yang Ziqiong finally recovered so that he could catch up with the filming of this movie.
"Young Master Jun, don't worry, I like the setting of beating women very much, even if my limbs are broken, I will not give up." Yang Ziqiong said seriously.
Yang Ziqiong, who is only in his 20s now, is full of youth and immature at this time, but also has a very confident feeling and is also very firm.
It was rumored in later generations that the biggest conflict between Yang Ziqiong and Mr. Pan was that Mr. Pan wanted Yang Ziqiong to be a husband and son after marriage, but Yang Ziqiong still wanted to make movies, so the two finally broke up sadly.
Yin Jun didn't know if these were true, but he knew Yang Ziqiong's attitude towards martial arts action movies in his previous life.
"For a good actor like Ms. Yang, Director Zhang should protect it better." The boy turned his head and said to Chuck, "Otherwise, the risk factor is so high, how can there be any girls willing to inherit this career?"
"I understand that I have already found two teachers for her. In addition, when she was filming, I also asked people to follow her. I will be more careful." Chuck also said with satisfaction.
With Yin Jun's status at this time, it's not too much to say something to Chuck like this.
But seeing Yin Jun's prestige and power, the sweet little girl next to him stared at him.
"Young Master Jun!"
When Yin Jun's eyes turned to her, the little girl Li Saifeng called out sweetly.
Yin Jun smiled and nodded to her, "Feng, I heard that you have been working hard recently, and you practice for more than 6 hours a day, which is really good!"
"I've been injured several times, but I'm not afraid." Li Saifeng said coquettishly.
"Practice more, and you will reduce the chance of injury." Yin Jun patted her shoulder, "Try not to get yourself injured, if it is a dangerous action, let a substitute do it. In the next twenty years, I have many movies waiting for you!"
"Hmm~~"
Li Saifeng agreed solemnly, his face full of joy of being valued.
Sister Hong smiled and said nothing, but actually snorted coldly in her heart.
Dare to seduce a little girl in front of my mother, have you been too comfortable recently? See how I deal with you tonight!
Yin Jun didn't expect that he would "fly into disaster".
He just simply likes the current Li Saifeng very much.
In the previous life, Li Saifeng quit the film industry early, and was finally caught by her husband for stealing sex with her godson.
But in fact, Li Saifeng was very hopeful to become a new generation of beautiful female martial arts stars.
In other words, she has already started her career as an action actress.
The entry of the crew of "Overlord Flower" represented her strength.
In this life, Yin Jun discovered her when she was 16 years old, and found a teacher for her to train her basic skills.
Immediately afterwards, the team of "Happy Girls. Girls Group" was formed again, and "Happy Ghost" was filmed again, which led her on the right path step by step.
Now, Li Saifeng, who earns more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars a year, no longer has to worry about life, her pursuit is more pure, and Yin Jun can have more influence on her.
She didn't dare to say what Yin Jun said, so she did what she did, but in terms of movies, she would definitely listen to what Yin Jun said.
Li Saifeng is 20 years old this year.
Even if she can't be used for 20 years, but can only be used for 15 years, it is enough for Yin Jun to find some good seedlings to replace her.
If Li Saifeng can really persist until then, Yin Jun will definitely not be stingy in giving her generous rewards.
For female martial arts stars like them, no amount of reward is too high!
