Chapter 562 Fatty Wang's Trick (Part 1)

Yin Jun's phone call is not just about Raiders of the Lost Ark.

For example, Yin Jun just had a few words with Wang Jing, and Chang Guangxi called and talked with Yin Jun about the animators of Toei Animation in Japan.

The animators sent by Toei Animation arrived in Xiangjiang the day before yesterday.

With a scale of 30 people, Le Yiling directly arranged them in a 4-star hotel not far from the broadcasting channel, and gave them private rooms for a long time.

Not only accommodation, but also food, laundry, etc. are all contracted to this hotel, and the time is tentatively scheduled to be about 3 years. For this, Kylin Culture has paid a large sum of money, which makes Le Yiling feel that , Is it possible to buy a hotel directly?

But in Yin Jun's view, no amount of price is worth it.

Not to mention how much Japanese animators use, one-tenth of the annual profit from the toys of "Transformers" is enough to pay, not to mention the box office of such an exciting movie.

During this period of time, the Japanese usually cooperate with the Chinese based on the idea of ​​"we are guilty and need atonement".

At least in the 1980s, the cooperation between the Japanese and Huaguo was very sincere and helped a lot. However, as Huaguo became stronger and stronger, they became more and more afraid of Huaguo, and gradually embarked on a the path of confrontation.

This is also natural, not to mention the Japanese, even the people from Xiangjiang, they were also very friendly to the mainland before the development of the mainland, but when they saw that the mainland was better developed than them, they immediately became unbalanced ?

The group of animators from Toei Animation is naturally friendly to Chinese people, and they are very motivated to work. They arrived the day before yesterday and asked to join the work yesterday.

Chang Guangxi and Hu Yi couldn't wish for it.

The 15 animation production equipment previously ordered by Toei Animation in Japan arrived in Xiangjiang as early as early June.

These machines, which cost Yin Jun a total of 22.5 million US dollars, are much more advanced and sophisticated than the animation camera table invented by Osamu Tezuka. A group of animators have long been envious of them, but unfortunately, everyone is not familiar with these machines. , did not dare to move, for fear of breaking it.

Now that the Japanese animators are here, learning how they operate is naturally a good progress for this group of animators and apprentices.

In the future, they will be the main users of these machines!

After hanging up the phone, Yin Jun sat next to Wang Jing again, and Fatty Wang suddenly smiled, "Jun Shao, you have too much to do, right? With so much interference, you can write a good script. Can you teach me?" why?"

"Because I am more serious than you, and I am easier to calm down than you." Yin Jun shook his head and laughed.

"I actually worked very hard, but I don't think it's necessary to do so many things in such detail." Wang Jing was speaking, seeing Yin Jun frowning, and hurriedly continued, "Of course, this is what happened before. .Now Jun Shao, you guide me and support me like this, and I will definitely work hard to do things well! I will definitely put all my energy into making this "Police Academy"."

Seeing his awe-inspiring look, Yin Jun felt a little strange.

In the past two days, Wang Jing's attitude was really serious. Not only was the scene script written very carefully, but he also humbly asked Yin Jun for advice on many aspects, including some details that he didn't notice at all on weekdays.

Also, in terms of the orderliness of the plot, Wang Jing directly found those aspects that were interesting to him, but in fact they had some shitty potential.

The young man didn't know the advice Wang Tianlin gave his son, he only wondered if it was because Wang Jing had suffered so badly before, that's why he was so desperate.

Wang Jing's movie was officially released today.

It will be released on June 6, and will be released on June 13, that is, it has just been screened for a week.

It is said that Xiangjiang movies are screened in two days, and it is not surprising that they are screened in seven days.

But hearing Wang Jing talk about it, I felt a great shame.

He didn't think that Shao Yifu was too ruthless, but he felt that the film he had made so seriously had lost so badly. The box office had just passed 1.2 million, not even half of the cost. It was really infuriating and shameful.

In any case, Wang Jing's positive attitude made Yin Jun very happy.

After all, if Wang Jing could get rid of those bad habits when he first entered the film industry, even if it was only half, that would be a gratifying thing.

Fatty Wang doesn't have any specialties in art films, but his grasp of commercial films is the first in Xiangjiang, and no one can surpass him.

...

Three hours later, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jing came out of Yin Jun's apartment, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

When Yin Jun answered the phone just now, he spoke all in English, Wang Jing didn't care, but when Yin Jun called "Mr. Zou", he pricked up his ears.

Yin Jun didn't say a few words, and his voice was not loud. Wang Jing only vaguely heard the words "first day box office".

Wang Jing pretended to be stupid and didn't ask Yin Jun, but it didn't mean he didn't take it to heart.

After coming out, Wang Jing began to think about the relationship inside.

English... Golden Harvest... Box Office on the first day...

What films has Golden Harvest invested in in the US recently?

"Killer Trenches"?

No, it will be released in a few months, not now.

Unable to figure it out, Wang Jing simply called the home of a friend who worked at Golden Harvest after dinner.

"Hey, Abin, let me ask you something. What film did you Jiahe cast in the United States recently?"

"Damn, Xiangzi, how do you know?"

"When I was having dinner with Yin Jun and Mr. Jun today, I heard him say that the box office is very good, but I can't ask him the specifics." Wang Jing said without changing his face.

"Hehe, since Young Master Jun told you the story, let me tell you... In fact, it will take a few days to publicize the news." The people over there were really fooled, "Do you remember that we Jiahe Have you ever announced the news that we have collaborated with Lucas and Spielberg on a film in the United States?"

"Oh, remember, it turned out to be this movie... called, "Raiders of the Lost Ark"?"

"Yes! That's it!" The people over there were very excited, "It premiered yesterday in the United States, and the box office exceeded 1.7 million US dollars! It's still Thursday! And the word-of-mouth has exploded. It is said that this morning there began to line up to buy Tickets! If it continues to be so popular, it will not be a problem to exceed 10 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend!"

"No way?" Wang Jing also has some research on American movies, "So good?"

"Of course! You don't want to watch it, who cares about this movie!" The person over there said excitedly, but slipped up, "Young Master Jun personally valued it, and then invested a huge amount of money in it. Our boss is just a chance We met by coincidence, so we took a ride, but I didn't expect this to be a box office hit!"

"What Jun Shao values?" Wang Jing's heart was turbulent, but his tone was disbelieving, "No, I haven't heard him say it, and he didn't say it today. Did you hear it wrong?"

"How could you hear me wrong? Brother Long said this when he came back for vacation." The person over there quickly argued, "You also know that Brother Long has a big mouth. He and Boss Zou met Jun Shao along the way that day. Yes, it turned out that the people around Jun Shao had leaked the news, and Boss Zou had an idea, so he went and invested 5 million US dollars!"

"Oh, so that's the case!" Wang Jing nodded, "Okay, thank you, Abin!...Well, I'll treat you to tea some other day when I'm free!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jing's small eyes began to roll continuously.

He is thinking about this matter, what benefits it can have for him, or what can be used.

After a while, Wang Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought about it.

...

When Wang Jing appeared in front of Shao Yifu, it was already three days later, that is, Monday, June 16th.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it is time for Shao Yifu to drink afternoon tea. If he is free, he will take a car to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui to drink coffee. This is a habit developed for decades.

In fact, there is a little anecdote here.

In fact, the first person in the entertainment industry who used to drink afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel was Lu Yuntao, the eldest son of MP & GI, because he was born into a wealthy family. When he grew up, his father became the richest man in Malaysia and Singapore, so it is inevitable Living habits are more luxurious.

Shao Yifu is a stingy person, and he doesn't have much interest in such a high-consumption and time-wasting afternoon tea.

But at that time, Lu Yuntao had already gained the upper hand. In order to fight against Lu Yuntao, Shao Yifu also started to make a high profile, drinking afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel like him, and then discussing business affairs at the Peninsula Hotel, giving people a kind of "I am not inferior to Lu Yuntao" impression.

Later, when Lu Yuntao died in a plane crash, there was no other film company in Hong Kong comparable to Shaw Brothers, but Shaw Yifu still maintained this habit.

Some people say that he is showing his uniqueness.

Others said that he was remembering his old rival Lu Yuntao.

Anyway, the biggest boss in the entertainment industry is still Shao Yifu. He drinks afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, and the stars are naturally willing to follow suit, so the coffee shop at the Peninsula Hotel has become a gathering place for half of the stars.

When Wang Jing saw Shao Yifu in the coffee shop of the Peninsula Hotel, he had a smile on his face, looking at Victoria Bay in the distance below with great interest.

No wonder Shao Yifu was in a good mood.

He urgently arranged to take over Wang Jing's movie "Tin Sun You". Since its release on Friday, the box office has exceeded 800,000 on the same day, and the box office on the second day has exceeded 900,000. Yesterday, Sunday's box office broke through 1 million in one fell swoop, becoming It became the first Shaw Brothers movie to break one million box office in a single day.

Although there is a big factor in this, it is because Huang Yuanshen is so popular, and everyone is naturally interested in the movies he starred in.

But the theme of "Tin Sun You" is indeed very good, starting from the perspective of a thief who has reformed his evil ways, it is both struggling and inspirational, and it is very touching.

So it is not surprising that the box office reached 2.75 million in three days.

Seeing that "Tin Sun You" has the potential to break 10 million at the box office, can Shao Yifu be unhappy?

Just because he was happy, Shao Yifu was not angry when he saw Wang Jing, a street boy, appearing in front of him with a smile.

"Ah Xiang, what do you need from me?"

"Uncle Six, I was too unwilling to lose in the first play, so I decided to regroup." Sitting opposite him, Wang Jing said proudly, "I have the cheek to entrust countless relationships, and I finally talked Jun Shao, gave me a script! A classic script!"

"oh?"

Shao Yifu became interested. You know, Yin Jun had already agreed to give him a movie script.

Subconsciously, Shao Yifu thought it was this.

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, he asked, "What script? Let me see!"

"Jun Shao asked me to write the storyboard script, and I was still writing it at his home, and I was not allowed to bring it out." Wang Jing lied.

"He's too stingy!" Shao Yifu laughed, "You write carefully, and when you're done, I'll give you a budget, and you continue to shoot. Sixth Uncle is still very optimistic about you!"

"But Uncle Six, Young Master Jun said that he plans to make this movie by himself, and I'm just going to work." Wang Jing continued with a sincere face.

Shao Yifu's face turned black in an instant.

After going on for a long time, this movie has nothing to do with me. You came in front of me to make me angry on purpose?

This kid Yin Jun is not a thing. He clearly said he would give me the script, but now he decides to make it himself. Isn't this a joke?
