Chapter 498: The Seven Monsters Gather Again
After reading the documents all morning, Tian Jiachun came to remind Yin Jun that you had an appointment with Mr. Wu Siyuan for dinner today, and he called to ask if you were delayed by something.
The boy looked at the time, but it was already twelve thirty.
He hurriedly spoke to Le Yiling who was about to go upstairs for dinner, and Yin Jun got away and ran outside.
Several bodyguards naturally followed closely behind him.
Yin Jun's exercise has never been interrupted, but at best it is just to keep fit, compared with these professional veterans, it is still much worse.
As long as they are unwilling, Yin Jun has no possibility to get rid of them.
Of course, Yin Jun is not that stupid, it is impossible not to want their guards for no reason.
The current Kowloon Walled City in Xiangjiang has not been demolished yet, and there are a lot of vicious people who want to die. For the sake of his own great cause, Yin Jun of course needs to pay attention to his own safety.
Fortunately, Wu Siyuan made an appointment at an old-fashioned restaurant on Waterloo Road near the Broadcasting Road. He knew that Yin Jun liked to eat a little spicy food, but not too spicy, so he found a Sichuan restaurant.
Don't laugh.
Shuchuan people are really not particularly good at eating spicy food, especially those around the Rongcheng Plain except Yuzhou people, who eat spicy food better than those in the northeast and southeast.
For those who can really eat spicy food, people from northern Hubei and southern Hunan should be ranked first, followed by people from Qianzhou. Caiyun's food is similar to Shuchuan's, but they are hot and sour, while Shuchuan's is spicy.
Yin Jun is from Hubei, but he is a lot worse than the authentic Hubei people who eat spicy food, and he can barely reach the level of Sichuan people's spicy food.
"Sorry sorry!"
Under the guidance of the waiter, Yin Jun went to the small private room on the second floor, and when he saw Wu Siyuan, he apologized, "There was a delay in the company just now, Brother Yuan, have you waited for a long time?"
"I didn't wait long, I was worried that something happened to you on the way." Wu Siyuan smiled and shook hands with Yin Jun, "Come on, first try the fish-flavored shredded pork and Kung Pao chicken that the boss personally cooks Ding, the taste is very good, definitely two famous dishes!"
"Then I won't be polite."
Yin Jun sat down with a smile, and really started eating and drinking.
Firstly, it was because he had been busy all morning and he was really hungry; secondly, he and Wu Siyuan were considered friends, so they didn't have much to pay attention to.
Wu Siyuan liked to see Yin Jun so invisible, and they ate and drank with Yin Jun after sitting down. If Yin Jun didn't drink, the two of them would definitely have a drink.
After filling his stomach first, Yin Juncai put down his chopsticks when he didn't feel very hungry, "Brother Yuan, the recent Xiangjiang film industry is the calm before the storm... Do you have any plans?"
April has always been the off-season in the film industry. During this time period, there are usually no good movies released.
But from June to August, because the student party is on vacation, the weather is hot and it gets dark late, movies are definitely one of people's favorite pastimes, so this is also the golden time for movies.
Even after 40 years, the summer vacation is the most important time in the North American film industry, far better than the Christmas and New Year schedules.
However, the Huaguo film industry is different. The Spring Festival, which started on the first day of the Lunar New Year, has become the most rewarding time of the year after 2014. At the craziest time, an average of 500 to 600 million yuan can be released a day. The high box office is not even comparable to that in North America.
The Xiangjiang film industry used to be dominated by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, but now there is a spoiler Golden Princess Cinema, the box office is booming, and everyone knows that they will form their own company, so naturally they are looking forward to this year's film. How did the three families fight in the summer vacation?
"You don't know yet?"
Wu Siyuan asked in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, you just came back after going to the United States... Five days later, Boss Lei's Xinyi City Company, which holds a majority of the shares, will be established, and he invited us to watch the ceremony During the summer vacation, they will launch three films in a row. Then it is said that Shaw Brothers Du Qifeng and the new director Wang Jing will also release a film each. Golden Harvest, Cheng Long’s new film cannot be received, but the Xu Brothers It will definitely go, this is going to die!"
Speaking of this, Wu Siyuan suddenly laughed again, "You don't know, Xiangjiang has been very lively recently, and it is not deserted at all. The "Broken War" that the Jiang family brothers put together together, a few days ago The world is drawn, and it has a box office of nearly 9.5 million, which is really scary! If it weren't for your "Prodigal Boy", "Young Master Weiwei" and "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", maybe it would be the champion of this year! "
Yin Jun also smiled when he heard the words.
Speaking of which, among Xiangjiang's box office champions for so many years, this "Painful War" is indeed the weirdest.
It is not a movie at all, but a movie edited by the Jiang brothers of Anle Cinemas from a few war movies they bought a few years ago. There is no movie plot, just relying on With hot war scenes to attract people.
However, such a movie was played for nearly two months in 4 cinemas of Anle Cinemas and 12 theaters of Great Wall Cinemas, and it also won a super high box office of nearly 9.5 million. Many filmmakers and critics have begun to doubt life.
If there is no sudden emergence of my own, I have taken out the script of the box office overlord in the next few years, and used my 40 years of experience to make some adaptations and repairs. This year's box office champion is really this incomprehensible "Bad War".
Even Cheng Long's "Killer's Trenches", which cost a huge amount of money, only ranked second.
It's just unexpected that in this life, although Princess Jin has changed a lot, the film company she funded and established is still called New Art City.
""A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" was not written by me, it was written by Fatty Wang, but he just asked me to read it." Yin Jun first defended a sentence, and then said: "New Art City seems to be very confident, and it is written in one breath. Three movies, do they have so much ability?"
The Seven Monsters of New Art City are the main reason why New Art City was able to emerge suddenly and become the No. 1 film company in Xiangjiang in the previous life.
But this life is different, Xu Ke is still at Siyuan Film Company, Shi Lansheng is still at Jiashi, Zeng Zhiwei is still busy making his own movies at Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, among the seven people are Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming and Teddy Robin and the four of them lost at least half of their skills.
Of course, Yin Jun didn't expect such a company.
Without a complete production team, it is at best a spoiler, not a contender.
"have!"
Wu Siyuan sighed, "Shao Jun, you don't know, there are now seven main creators in New Art City, collectively known as the Seven Monsters of New Art City..."
"Ahem!"
When he was talking, Yin Jun was eating, and he almost spit out the food in his mouth when he heard the words, "Seven Monsters of New Art City?"
"Yes!" Wu Siyuan didn't understand, but continued to say, "Meijia, Shi Tian, and Huang Boming, who resigned from your company, have brought in all their good friends, including Teddy Robin. , Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Ke from our company, and Xu Ke's girlfriend Shi Lansheng. Together, these seven people are known as the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City."
Yin Jun gasped.
Good guy!
In this way, the history of the previous life can be changed?
Not only are the people all together, but even the nicknames are the same.
The next moment, he reacted, "Hey, that's not right, Brother Yuan, didn't you open a movie for Xu Ke at the beginning of this year? Why did he run away all of a sudden?"
With Yin Jun's reminder, Wu Siyuan was really kind to Xu Ke. Although Xu Ke made money in making one film, and then lost money in filming one, he still lost a little money in general, but Wu Siyuan never stopped Xu Ke. guests to explore the art of cinema.
Xu Ke's current film philosophy has not yet taken shape. He always likes to try various things, so he has made a large number of films, and the genres are very messy.
In the previous life, Wu Siyuan was overwhelmed by Xu Ke's movies, so when Xu Ke wanted to go to New Art City, he didn't stop him at all.
This life is different, Wu Siyuan responded to every request, Xu Ke shouldn't have left so readily, and even brought his wife out of Jiashi, rushing to Xinyi City without hesitation!
The difference from his previous life is that Shi Lansheng, who is in charge of "Millionaire" now, is a very famous producer of the show, and his future and money are unlimited!
It would be too risky for Xu Ke to let her follow him to a company that has just been established.
"Don't mention it." Wu Siyuan said with a wry smile, "He said that he harmed me and made me lose money for several movies, so he is going to go to Xinyi City to practice for a few years, and then compensate me after he succeeds. Tell me , He has already stated his position like this, what else can I say?"
After a pause, Wu Siyuan said again, "The Seven Monsters of New Art City, even Shi Lansheng took the shares, but he was the only one who didn't take the shares. This also shows that he really didn't go for the money."
"They all have shares?" Yin Jun was surprised.
He remembered very clearly that although the shares in New Art City are somewhat complicated, the shareholders are only four people, Lei Juekun, Mecca, Shi Tian and Huang Boming, and the rest of the four generals of New Art City, including the number one actor Including Xu Guanjie, none of them own any shares.
But why do six people have shares now?
"Boss Lei really wants to be in the film industry, so he is very attentive. Although he invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars in New Art City, he only owns 40% of the shares, and the remaining 60% are divided according to different shares. It was given to the six monsters in New Art City." Wu Siyuan said, "They got so many shares out of thin air. If they are their own masters, they will naturally be full of energy and make three movies without any difficulty. Son."
Yin Jun nodded slightly when he heard the words.
If so, it should come as no surprise.
In fact, Yin Jun didn't know that Lei Juekun's generosity this time was all because of Yin Jun.
First of all, because of "Wulin Biography", Zeng Zhiwei has already gained a lot of fame by starring in and making movies in the past two years, which is completely different from the almost unknown little martial artist and assistant director in his previous life.
Therefore, if you want him to come to New Art City, you have to give practical benefits.
Another and more important thing is Huang Boming, he can get more than two million a year from Yin Jun, and if he is determined to come to Xinyi City, it is naturally impossible for Lei Juekun to treat him badly.
Besides, Lei Juekun's Kowloon bus was swallowed up by Yin Jun. Although he is still the general manager of Kowloon bus, he still felt a little awkward.
This time, he poached Yin Jun's people instead, which made Lei Juekun very satisfied, and even gave Huang Boming more shares than in his previous life. Huang Boming has similar shares, about 15%.
Then, the remaining three people each own 5% of the shares. Although this part of the shares is not much, they are shareholders anyway, which stimulates their creative enthusiasm even more than in the previous life.
Not to mention the outside world, even Yin Jun began to look forward to it.
After the baptism of its own script, Xiangjiang Films has embarked on the road of prosperity ahead of schedule.
So what kind of pioneering work will they give to the New Art City, which is known as the most creative?
