Chapter 610 Hollywood Superstar Visits
After hanging up the phone, there were scenes of crowding and screaming on the TV news opposite Yin Jun.
The camera suddenly turned to the face of a handsome American guy wearing a cowboy hat.
Anyone who is not unfamiliar with movies can recognize this handsome guy at a glance. This handsome guy is Harrison Ford, the protagonist of Star Wars, and also the leading actor of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which will be released in Hong Kong today.
Xiangjiang now lacks the kind of superstar who can cause screams.
Handsome Liang is still playing tricks, Xingzi is still delivering food, and another handsome Liang is still in college.
Zhou Runfa and Cheng Long can barely be regarded as superstars, but they don't have that kind of aura now, which is also much worse than Harrison Ford.
The place where Harrison Ford appeared was Xiangjiang Airport.
Most of the movie fans who came to pick him up at the airport came for him, but not many people cared about Spielberg and George Lucas who came out from behind Harrison Ford.
There is no way.
Even in 2020, the popularity of Feng Baoya and Zhang Guoshi is still far behind that of the stars. Even Xiao Xianrou is more popular and concerned than them.
This is not only the case in China, even in the United States and Japan.
Hearing that Spielberg and Lucas were going to bring Harrison Ford to Xiangjiang to cheer for "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers were full of energy and put a lot of thought into the arrangement.
Motivating movie fans to welcome them at the airport is one aspect. After returning to the hotel for a rest, there will be an interview program on TVB TVB. After attending the premiere in Hong Kong in the evening, there will be a welcome dinner.
Tomorrow, the few of them will visit the bustling and famous places in Xiangjiang, and in the evening there will be another seminar and banquet related to the entertainment industry.
If they didn't only stay in Xiangjiang for two days, they would have to go to Japan on the third day, and then to South Korea. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest would have to operate more things to let everyone see how much influence they have, and Hollywood What a deep friendship the famous directors have.
Although well-informed people know that the person who has the best relationship with Spielberg and Lucas should be Yin Jun, but this does not prevent Jiahe and Shaw Brothers from pretending to be tigers and scaring many people who don't know the truth. Surprised.
Yin Jun also doesn't care about these false names. It's not the time for him to build momentum, so it doesn't matter if he gives up to Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.
It is also a good thing to increase their interest in movies and actively develop their movie career in the future.
Of course, Yin Jun's attitude towards Jiahe and Shaw Brothers is different.
For Golden Harvest, Yin Jun hopes that they can produce more excellent movies, and act as producers as much as possible, with less investment.
However, due to the exploitative system of Shaw Brothers, Yin Jun hopes that Shaw Brothers will close the film company in the future and focus on investment and distribution.
Anyway, Shaw Cinemas is the largest cinema chain in Asia. Before coming to Nanyang, Shaw Yifu and his brother had completed the cinema chains in Malaysia and Singapore. The Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and other places also have their own cooperative theater operators. At least 50 theaters can screen together. This is the biggest advantage of Shaw Cinemas.
Yin Jun knows the future development trend of theater chains, don't try to cover all the theater chains in the world by yourself.
Even the thriving Wanda Cinemas, which acquired major theaters in Europe and the United States in 2018, only occupied a very small share.
If you really want your films to have a global influence, it is definitely not enough for you to own theaters, but for your films to be of very high quality.
Otherwise, why did the so-called "Warcraft" movie version, which is full of the feelings of game fans all over the world, be so popular in the United States?
In China, more than 40% of the first week's films were scheduled, and it was only a prosperous week. Afterwards, the number of screens decreased, and the box office naturally fell sharply.
In addition to doing a good job in movies, mastering a certain number of movie theaters and making good connections with some theater chains is enough for one's own movie career.
Although Shao Yifu is stingy and harsh, he is still a native of Huaguo, so he naturally has a sense of identity with Xiangjiang Films, so it is naturally a good thing for him to open up some theater markets.
Watching Lucas and the others leave the airport under the welcome of the fans, Yin Jun lowered his head and was busy for a while. By the way, he had lunch at the Qilin Culture office building on the radio channel, and then took a car to the Peninsula Hotel where they were staying.
Although most of the animators and artists have moved to the industrial park at the foot of Lau Fau Shan, the three-storey building on Broadcasting Road is still reserved as an office and contact place.
Not only Yin Jun has an office here, but Le Yiling also has one, and she always comes here a day or two a week.
The canteen connected to the second floor here has not changed, Aunt Shen still cleans here, and Zhou Huimin still comes here to teach Yin Jun one or two lessons a week.
Compared with the first time, there are much fewer people here, and the uncles who taught Zhou Huimin to paint and play the piano all went to Lau Fau Mountain, and Zhou Huimin felt a little lonely.
Fortunately, there is still Yin Jun as his "apprentice". Now Zhou Huimin is not teaching Yin Jun rigidly, but is responsible for sorting out some scores written by Yin Jun.
Originally, Yin Jun could also do this, but with such a serious little teacher, Yin Jun simply gave her the job, and by the way, gave her a salary justifiably.
Speaking of salary, the cover of "The Goddess in the Toilet" that Zhou Huimin drew for Teresa Teng last time was not only liked by Teresa Teng, but also by Japanese fans. Praise that this is the most beautiful and gorgeous album cover they have seen.
"Based on the cover alone, I think I can buy a record to see."
There are the most rumors like this.
Cover design is of course also charged.
According to the distribution ratio, the design fee and supervision of 200,000 cash converted into Hong Kong dollars have already been transferred to Yin Jun's account.
Yin Jun was also smart, he didn't give all of it to Zhou Huimin, but after telling Zhou Huimin about it, he gave half of it to her.
"I came up with the idea, little girl, you are in charge of painting, and we happen to be responsible for half of it, so the money we earn is also half of the money."
Hearing what Yin Jun said, Zhou Huimin hesitated for a while, but still accepted the money under Yin Jun's coaxing and deception.
Now Aunt Shen and Zhou Huimin's life is much better than before.
However, considering that she will need a lot of expenses for studying and studying in the future, Zhou Huimin can only accept 100,000 yuan.
She knew that Yin Jun was taking care of herself, otherwise Yin Jun would be responsible for the creation and selling. She was only in charge of painting, and she didn't need to pay so much money at all.
But for Yin Jun's careful care of herself, it is not the kind of charity that throws money to her, Zhou Huimin is also very sweet in her heart.
She has been wearing glasses since she was a child, and Zhou Huimin is rustic. Except for her mother, no one likes her on weekdays.
Only Yin Jun has never disliked Zhou Huimin's old-fashioned, thin and unattractive appearance. He has always cared for her like a big brother, and he is very serious and respects her teaching when learning piano, so Zhou Huimin has already regarded Yin Jun Became the closest person besides mother.
...
Three hours later, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Yin Jun saw Lucas, Spielberg and Harrison Ford who appeared in front of him refreshed after taking a rest and washing up.
The weather in Xiangjiang in July can be said to be extremely hot.
So they all just wore very simple T-shirts and shorts, plus a pair of slippers, sitting in the coffee shop of the Peninsula Hotel and drinking coffee.
"Xiangjiang is really good here." Lucas said with a more relaxed nature, with a smile, "Just now at the hotel, I saw the bay outside, and drinking the authentic English afternoon tea here, I feel as if I have arrived in Tennessee. Like London in the ninth century."
"The place is too small, but it can't produce any broad-minded talents." Yin Jun smiled, "Compared to the United States, Xiangjiang is far behind."
"Mr. Yin, aren't you a great talent?" Harrison Ford said with a little respect: "I have read five of your novels, and all of them are wonderful. Among them, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is especially outstanding. Fascinating."
"I'm different. My favorite is "Jurassic Park." Spielberg said bluntly.
Harrison Ford is a well-known smart guy in Hollywood.
Just seeing that he can still play the leading role at the age of 70, you can know how good he is in life.
Now, in his capacity, speaking flatteringly to Yin Jun proves that he understands Yin Jun's bright future.
Especially the five books published by Yin Jun in the United States, "Jurassic Park", "The Da Vinci Code", "World of Warcraft", "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Forrest Gump". , are classics.
Harrison Ford felt that if he could make friends with Yin Jun, he would definitely be able to play a leading role in it.
Even if you can't now, if you start building friendships now, it will be useful one day.
Speaking of which, the three books "World of Warcraft", "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Forrest Gump", which were officially published in May, won the welcome of countless book fans as soon as they were released.
After all, the pseudonym Jun is already very famous in the United States.
With the super classic "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code", radiating from the west coast of the United States to the rich land in the east, everyone was moved by the wonderful world in the book, and naturally fell in love with the description in the book s story.
As of June 30, the total sales volume of "Jurassic Park" has more than doubled from 1.2 million copies in April to 2.6 million copies, and it has firmly controlled the "New York Times" for five consecutive weeks. The number one spot on the bestseller list!
"The Da Vinci Code", a somewhat slow book, has also attracted the attention of more and more reasoning fans. Its sales volume has reached 1.6 million copies, and it has repeatedly appeared in the top ten of the "New York Times" bestseller list name! !
