Chapter 295 An Unexpected Person (Third Update! Please Subscribe!)

The process of going to the audition with the old lady seemed a bit complicated on the surface. After a lot of questions and considerations, I finally decided to let Teresa Teng play the role.

Although she was a little worried, the result also made the old lady very happy, because her son had already confirmed that the two people who appeared were the two great directors from the United States, and there was no lie.

Thinking that her daughter would soon become a movie star, become famous and earn more money, the old lady felt very comfortable.

It's not that she doesn't like her daughter, but her daughter will always get married. Once she gets married, she will no longer be a member of the Deng family, so she wants to make her daughter contribute more to the four sons of the Deng family before she gets married. .

By the way, the old man failed to live up to expectations. He lost money every time in business and did not make any money. The sons were not very live up to expectations. The old couple also had to rely on their daughters to earn the pension money.

Therefore, the old lady wanted Teresa Deng to earn more money when she was young and before she got married, so that she would not waste time raising her daughter.

But she didn't expect that Teresa Teng had been performing since she was a child and had been supporting her family with all her strength since she was 9 years old. She really didn't know what kind of sacrifice the old lady and the others meant in their so-called parenting?

After several people came out of Lucas' office, Deng Changxi happily shouted that he was going to have a lobster dinner, and the old lady agreed with a smile.

But before they could call for a ride to the restaurant, a voice greeted them loudly.

"Arjun!!"

When Yin Jun turned around, he saw Cheng Long's signature big face.

Then Yin Jun saw Zou Wenhuai not far from Cheng Long.

Jackie Chan is wearing a suit today. To be honest, it's not as handsome as the Tang suit that Uncle Long has been wearing almost in public since 2006. That's how handsome he is.

Yin Jun smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Long, Mr. Zou, why are you here?"

"Let's come here to visit some people in Hollywood." Cheng Long has always been a big talker, so he directly stated the purpose of his visit, and then asked: "What about you?...Oh, this is...Ms. Deng!?"

Teresa Deng also turned her head at this time. She also wanted to watch a movie, so naturally she knew this new movie star.

Seeing that he was familiar with Yin Jun, Deng Lijun nodded to him, which was considered a greeting.

Looking at Teresa Teng's performance, Yin Jun was very satisfied. If it were in his previous life, Teresa Deng would have met Cheng Long, who was also in the entertainment industry, in a foreign country, and he would have been quite enthusiastic, and they became familiar with her.

Now that Yin Jun appears beside Deng Lijun, of course she will no longer be so enthusiastic about other men.

Cheng was surprised when he saw Lijun Deng without makeup, but when he thought about her walking out with Yin Jun, he thought more carefully and said in Mandarin: "Haha, Ajun, are you and Ms. Deng together?"

"Yes."

It was the old lady who answered.

How poisonous her eyes are.

Seeing that something was wrong with Cheng Long's eyes when he looked at his daughter, he immediately stepped out to stop her.

And the most important thing is that there is the best shield in front of me, "Arjun is my daughter's good friend, and he just helped my daughter get a second female role from a big director!"

"mom?"

Deng Lijun looked at the old lady in surprise and thought, why are you showing off to an outsider?

It happened that Zou Wenhuai also came over. Hearing this, he immediately reflexively said: "Great director? Which great director?"

"Isn't it the one upstairs...what..." The old lady looked at her son. She was confused about a foreigner with such a long list of names.

"Director Lucas! Director Spielberg! A super production with an investment of 30 million US dollars!!" Deng Changxi proudly said it for his mother.

Deng Lijun couldn't help but want to slap her forehead. Why are both of them like this? How curious!

Zou Wenhuai didn't think they were weird. He cheered up and looked at Yin Jun with extremely passionate eyes, "Ajun, do you know Director Lucas and Director Spielberg?"

"I know you." Yin Jun nodded slightly.

Although the young man looks quite calm now, he is smiling in his heart.

Although Yin Jun doesn't like people who are flamboyant, this time he has to give this mother and son a thumbs up.

You guys have said everything I wanted to say to scare Cheng Long away. What a great assist!

As a result, Yin Jun underestimated the old lady, as if she felt that the effect was not up to expectations. She directly said: "Among them, 20 million US dollars was invested by Ajun! He is my daughter's good friend!"

"What!?"

This time, Cheng Long and Zou Wenhuai's faces changed drastically and they took a breath of air.

Unlike Cheng Long's eyes of envy and surprise, Zou Wenhuai's eyes were much more solemn.

"Ajun, do you have time? Let's have a cup of tea together?" Zou Wenhuai immediately extended the invitation.

Yin Jun looked at Deng Lijun, and she smiled sweetly at Yin Jun, "I'm going home first, call me!"

In this way, she is like a gentle little wife.

"good!"

Yin Jun went over to call a taxi for them, watched them leave, and then turned back.

Zou Wenhuai also knew that this was not a good time to talk, so he walked with Yin Jun to the McDonald's across the street, and after asking Cheng Long to order a bunch of food and drinks, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Ajun, what the old lady said just now, is it true? Did you really invest 20 million US dollars in a movie?" Zou Wenhuai is still dubious.

Since he was met by Zou Wenhuai, Yin Jun had no need to hide his secrets, "Yes, this is an adventure action movie created by George, and Stephen was invited to shoot it."

George?

Stephen! ?

Zou Wenhuai only thought about it for a moment, and then combined it with the conversation between mother and son just now, and he knew who Yin Jun was talking about.

He was a little speechless.

How long have you, Yin Jun, been in the United States? Are you so familiar with two world-class directors?

I have been to Hollywood more than a dozen times, but I still can only bow down to some quasi-first-rate or even second-rate directors!

Zou Wenhuai did not suspect that Yin Jun was using others to promote himself. He knew this young man very well. Yin Jun had his own pride and would definitely not do such a thing.

Besides, no matter how ordinary the relationship is, you have already received 20 million US dollars and become someone else’s financial sponsor. How can you still not be familiar with them?

Cheng Long came back with two plates with a bunch of burgers, Coke and coffee on them.

"Although the food in the United States is a bit more expensive, it is genuine and much better than in Xiangjiang." Cheng Long sat down, took a hamburger and ate it.

Yin Jun was not polite. He was a little hungry just now. He also picked up a hamburger from Nuo Da to eat, "Brother Long, this thing is just for filling your stomach, and the ingredients are ordinary. Do you think they will use high-quality beef?" Making meatloaf?"

"Haha, as long as it's delicious." Cheng Long said, "Don't tell me, these American things are really convenient. You can buy them in a few minutes. When we were filming, we had something like this to fill our stomachs and fill our stomachs. I’m not afraid of getting myself dirty, and I’m not afraid of not having a place to eat.”

"This is something we can learn from." Yin Jun nodded.

Convenient, fast and hot.

McDonald's and KFC rely on this trick to become very popular around the world.

Of course the reason for their success is not just this one, but these are very important.

Hungry people really need the treatment of having food in their hands within two minutes of walking in and eating it in big mouthfuls.

Zou Wenhuai was not in the mood to eat, nor did he participate in the chat between Yin Jun and Cheng Long. He had been calculating and weighing.

He brought Cheng Long to Hollywood for filming.

This play is called "The Killer's Trench", and it is a movie that he finally found Robert, a familiar and quasi-first-class director in the United States, to write and direct.

I originally thought that Robert was a relatively good director and was familiar with Hong Kong movies, so I wanted him to tailor a movie for Cheng Long to make him famous.

Unexpectedly, when I got the script and read it, I found that Cheng Long's role was greatly reduced, almost the same as that of the European and American actors.

Zou Wenhuai thought that Cheng Long was coming to Hollywood for the first time anyway, so he should be the co-star for once. This time, he would make money first, and then push Cheng Long to let him get familiar with Hollywood. There would be more opportunities in the future.

Today, before the filming officially started, Zou Wenhuai took Cheng Long to see everything and see if he could visit some top-notch directors, sit down and talk about movies with them, and become familiar with them.

As a result, before he arrived at Lucas's office, he heard that Yin Jun had invested US$20 million in a movie co-produced by Lucas and Spielberg.

This was a big blow to Zou Wenhuai.

This is like playing a strategy game. I have just conquered the State of Zhao, and others are already chasing the Huns on the grassland. They are not on the same level.

The key is 20 million US dollars!

Zou Wenhuai was very distressed when he invested 8 million US dollars in "The Killer Trench", but Yin Jun invested 20 million US dollars without hesitation!

A company as big as Golden Harvest can only invest 8 million in a movie. Why is Yin Jun so willing?

Is land trading really so profitable?

Zou Wenhuai was a little confused.

Then he simply asked directly, "Arjun, where did you get so much money to invest in the movie? Also, you spent 20 million US dollars to make a movie for the Americans. Aren't you afraid that they will do something and make you lose all your money?"

If the object of my investment is Jiahe, then of course it is possible.

But now I am investing in Lucas and Spielberg. Not to mention that they are all shameless people. There are still a lot of laws in the United States to protect investors. Besides, I have Huo Jianning to keep an eye on me. How can I lose everything? ?

Although Americans also like to play tricks, you also have to look at when and with whom.

Some people will never be able to ruin their reputation in their lifetime.

Directors are such a group.

Woody Allen is a little better, it's always a matter of mutual consent.

But if you go and look at Polanski, what will happen to him?

If your reputation is ruined, you will really never be able to turn it around again in your lifetime.

Especially for a director who defrauds investors of their money, who would dare to believe him in the future?

Besides, taking a step back, with the pride of Lucas and Spielberg, would they use deceptive means to swindle money?

People can make a lot of money by directly directing movies, okay?

After thinking about it, Yin Jun said with a smile: "I mortgaged my land. This investment of 20 million US dollars was not given to them all at once. It is bound by serious laws. Although there are many restrictions on making movies in the United States, They still don’t dare to mess around.”

"But, can this movie really make money?" Zou Wenhuai asked, "Although they are great directors, it is possible for them to be commercially successful, right?"

"It depends on your own preferences and feelings." Yin Jun said harmoniously: "I read the script and thought it was okay. I should be able to make some money, at least not lose money. Mr. Zou, you have to believe that I am here The vision in the script."

Only then did Zou Wenhuai remember that Yin Jun himself was a talented screenwriter.

Before, he originally thought about asking Yin Jun to write a script for Cheng Long, but with the success of Cheng Long's "Laughing Fist", he felt that Cheng Long could handle the script himself, and there was no need to pay a high price to Yin Jun. Anyway, Yin Jun's script is not much better, far less amazing than his scripts in TV series.

But no matter what, Zou Wenhuai will not doubt Yin Jun's ability and vision in scripts.

Since Yin Jun thinks the script is good, then...

An idea emerged in Zou Wenhuai's heart unconsciously.

After temporarily suppressing his thoughts, Zou Wenhuai said, "Ajun, I'm bringing Aaron to Hollywood to make a movie. How about you help me read the script later?"

"No need." Yin Jun shook his hand and said with a smile: "First of all, this is against the rules. Secondly, if I say the script is good, then it's okay; if I say it's not good, what will you do? Stop filming? Preliminary period Has the investment been wasted? Even if you want to continue filming, you still have a knot in your heart, and you won’t be able to make a good movie, right?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled in a self-deprecating way, "You're right, it was me who was abrupt."

He thought Yin Jun was unhappy that this script was written by someone else. You still asked me to read it. Do I have this obligation?

Besides, Yin Jun is right. There is no way to change whether the script is good or not.

What Jiahe and Cheng Long have to do is to try their best to make good movies, and let the market test the rest.

In fact, Yin Jun already knew the result, so he didn't want to see it.

What movie will Cheng Long come to Hollywood to film this year?

Isn't it the hit movie "The Killer's Trench"?

This movie, which Golden Harvest spent more than 10 million U.S. dollars on with its entire Hollywood team, ended up losing about 4 million U.S. dollars, or about 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

The biggest failure of "The Killer Trench" is of course not in terms of money, but in the failure to achieve the expected results - Jiahe originally planned to use this to promote Cheng Long and make him the second Li Xiaolong.

But this movie not only failed to praise Cheng Long, but made him suffer all kinds of injustices. Finally, he returned to Xiangjiang and vowed that he must control his own destiny and control the movie, and he could not let others fool him like a fool. Fool yourself and direct yourself.

So from Yin Jun's perspective, this is not a good thing for Jiahe's international strategy, but it is a great thing for Cheng Long.

Cheng Long also experienced such twists and turns, so he concentrated on running his own Asian market.

Then, when the Asian market was booming, when he was most energetic and his team was at its most harmonious, he entered Hollywood again.

At that time, Cheng Long finally ushered in his first success and established a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Then he encountered the A-level masterpiece that made him famous in Hollywood and became an international superstar.

From then on, there was only one representative of Chinese movie stars.

Cheng Long!

Therefore, by not letting Cheng Long go through hardships and not letting Jiahe know of failure, they have no idea how deep the water in Hollywood is.

Sometimes, failure is not a bad thing. Failure can make people sober up and allow those who are determined to improve themselves to recognize their own shortcomings, thereby further improving themselves, and finally winning.

Yin Jun was looking forward to Cheng Long killing everyone like he did in his previous life.

After all, if you don’t support a person who has completely given up on the Baodao and Xiangjiang markets in order to move closer to the mainland, are you trying to chill more people who want to move closer to us?
