Chapter 586 Competing for the Role of Attention in Asia
When Yin Jun attended the wedding in the mainland, Wang Jing felt that he was the busiest person in Xiangjiang.
Busier than the governor.
The governor has a lot of things to do all day long, but he can still see anyone he wants to miss, but Wang Jing can't do it. Countless people come to his door, and they are all dignified, so he can't see him.
So after being tortured like this for two days, Wang Jing, who was scolded bloody by Wang Tianlin, simply hid out and found a friend's villa to live in.
No one could find him except a few people.
Why is Fatty Wang so busy?
The reason lies in "Police Academy".
Shao Yifu has been lonely in movies for a long time, which made the former movie tycoon very eager to achieve a success.
This time working with Yin Jun, after reading the script and seeing Yin Jun's personnel allocation, Shao Yifu has strong confidence and feels that "Police Academy" will be a success.
Since it is a film destined to succeed, why are you still hiding it?
So on the day Yin Jun flew to Huajing, Shao Yifu announced this cooperation in a high-profile manner.
The script of Yin Jun, the first talented screenwriter in Asia!
Shaw Brothers Film Company and Golden Harvest Film Company are the first cooperation between the two super giants!
A super production with an investment of up to 60 million Hong Kong dollars!
Actors include Xiangjiang, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and the production team is strong! !
This is a blockbuster destined to be a hit! ! !
In the history of Xiangjiang, there has never been a movie that dared to invest so much money.
The most expensive one is "The Killer" filmed by Cheng Long in Hollywood, but with the promotion fee, it is about 10 million US dollars.
The 60 million Hong Kong dollars is calculated to be 13 million U.S. dollars. Besides, this movie called "Police Academy" was basically shot in Xiangjiang, and the people used were not American crews, so the production cost did not need to be so high.
To use so much money to make a movie, Xiangjiang's box office is definitely not enough.
So far, Hong Kong's box office record is Hong Jinbao's "Young Master Weiwei", and Hong Kong's local box office is 13.94 million Hong Kong dollars. The calculated share is basically only one-ninth of the investment.
Therefore, the big head of "Police Academy" must be facing overseas markets, and it may be another global film like Li Xiaolong's film.
Since Li Xiaolong passed away, how long has Xiangjiang not had such a global movie?
Golden Harvest invested in one last year, and now Yin Jun, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai have produced another $13 million blockbuster. What does this mean? It shows that Xiangjiang filmmakers are no longer satisfied with their current status, and are ready to rush to the world!
In newspapers and news programs, the two viewpoints have been arguing non-stop.
"The pride of our Xiangjiang filmmakers! Together, we will surely reach the glory of Li Xiaolong's era!"
"It's not a good thing to be too arrogant! Can Xiangjiang Films bear such a big bet?"
"Yin Jun is a genius! Never doubt the ability of a genius!"
"For an investment of 60 million, even if the publicity fee is included, it needs at least 150 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office to pay back! May I ask Jun Shao, Sir Shao and Mr. Zou, where do you have such confidence?"
"Jun Shao has never failed before, why do you criticize him so badly? I think he didn't make these big investment movies before because he felt that the time was not ripe, and now it's finally time to enter Europe and the United States! I trust Yin hansome!"
"Can you be reasonable? Yin Jun is very familiar with Huaguo culture, and the successful movies and TV series in the past are all derived from it. But this time, what do you see him doing? "Police Academy"? What are you doing? What’s more, the Japanese, Americans and British were all invited! Is it necessary to watch this hodgepodge? Haven’t we learned enough lessons from our previous joint venture movies?”
"Hehe, I'll just tell you one thing. Because those people are not Yin Jun, they failed!"
"I don't think I have anything to say to hard-headed fans like you!"
"..."
The media is arguing endlessly. The common people are watching the fun, but the stars don't see it that way.
On the contrary, this time "Police Academy" caused so much sensation before the filming started. It can be said that it became popular before filming. Whoever can join it will have a great effect on improving one's reputation!
Especially in the Asian movie circle, the star circles are asking and discussing with each other, so gradually it has become one of the criteria for judging whether a star is big enough!
But it seems that in the whole of Asia, apart from a Japanese Matsuda Seiko, there is actually no star other than Xiangjiang. Among the Xiangjiang stars, there are also many who have not been selected, which makes many people unbalanced.
Wang Jing was forced to hide because of the "harassment" by these stars and the film companies behind them.
However, everyone couldn't find Wang Jing, but they found two people who couldn't escape.
Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai were in the midst of happy troubles.
I am happy because stars from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and even Thailand and Singapore have called to ask and beg if they can let local stars join.
The trouble is that there are too many people procrastinating, and they have no way to choose.
Even if they put all the responsibility on Yin Jun, no one believed it.
Everyone thinks that each of you has invested 30 million yuan anyway, how could it be possible that you have no right to speak at all?
In desperation, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai had a rare reunion at Bijiashan villa where Wang Jing lived temporarily.
Speaking of Fatty Wang, he was very smart. The villa he lived in was only 500 meters away from his father's villa, but those who came to block the door, as well as countless reporters, didn't notice it.
It's just that his life is not easy. Although the script of the scene is finished, Yin Jun has also completed the review, the actors in Xiangjiang have been contacted, and several foreign actors will come to Xiangjiang one after another. It seems that they will be able to train and start filming in a few days , but I didn't expect Shao Yifu to make such a trick, it was really annoying.
"Uncle Six, Uncle Huai, what do you want me to do?" Sitting in front of them, Wang Jing said eagerly, "I've already found all the actors, and when they heard that Young Master Jun personally called the roll, they immediately agreed to it." .Now you ask me to tell them to change players, what should I say? I can't be poked in the back by them?"
"Don't cry like that, Ah Xiang, can you add a few more characters?" Shao Yifu asked, "This is a group play, so adding more interesting characters will make it look better, right?"
"Uncle Six, you don't know Jun Shao's habits, do you?" Wang Jing shrugged, "If I let him know that I dare to revise his script, I will have to get out of the director's position tomorrow... Uncle Huai is right. I know, you can ask him, has Jiahe changed Junshao's script?"
Zou Wenhuai did not betray his conscience, and shook his head slightly under Shao Yifu's questioning eyes.
Shao Yifu moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he thought of Yin Jun's strength and his full wings now, he seemed to have no ability to restrain him, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't add a role." Zou Wenhuai picked up the script, "The idiot duo who obey Instructor Harry, you can spare me a role, and I will use a Korean."
"this……"
Wang Jing is not an idiot either, so he immediately pushed it to Yin Jun, "The main players were all selected by Mr. Jun, and the supporting roles I chose before were all approved by him. Now you suddenly want to ask me to replace them, so what? What about the original actors?"
"I'll tell Ah Jun about this in person." Zou Wenhuai, who is much older than Wang Jing, waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with acting skills, and it has nothing to do with human feelings. Just prepare it for me. Well, just Let’s change to Chen You, if he’s not satisfied, let him come to me! I’ll give him roles in Jiahe’s two movies, and the role is more important than this.”
Hearing what Zou Wenhuai said, Shao Yifu immediately said: "I also want a role, the principal! Didn't Ah Jun find Guan Haishan to be the principal? I will talk to him about it myself. Ah Jun's side , I also communicate with him."
Chen Baixiang and Jiahe are in a cooperative relationship, Zou Wenhuai has to be more polite, but Guan Haishan, that is, the detective who promoted Liu Dehua among the 500 million detectives Lei Luo, is himself a wireless person, Shao Yifu will not talk to him at all. He is polite.
Wang Jing was dumbfounded, "Sixth Uncle, are you also taking advantage of the fire?"
He didn't know that the role of the principal is actually very important, and it will gradually be revealed in the next few episodes.
Otherwise, Wang Jing would not have such a complexion.
"We have no choice, there are always favors that cannot be shirked." Zou Wenhuai explained, "But you don't have to worry, Axiang. Apart from these two candidates, we generally have nothing to interfere with. You can decide for yourself."
Wang Jing muttered, but didn't reply.
This is the third time he has been a director by himself, but it is the most useless one.
Because whether it's his favorite scripts or the casting choices he hopes to hold power, he basically doesn't have a share.
But then again, even though he was so aggrieved, Wang Jing was still very proud, because Yin Jun chose him as the director instead of other big directors.
Among other things, being able to direct Xiangjiang's first film with an investment of up to 60 million Hong Kong dollars is Wang Jing's best qualification.
He is not one of those fake and lofty directors, money is dung for any artistic achievement... This kind of thinking does not exist in Wang Jing.
Fatty Wang likes to make movies, but he prefers to make money from movies so that he can become a billionaire and his family can live a high-class life.
This is all his ideals.
So the most important thing for him to make movies is to make money.
Only when he makes money, his director's fee will be higher, and his dividend will be more.
And accepting Yin Jun's script, in Wang Jing's view, is the most important step on his way to the road of prosperity!
