Chapter 626 New Movie

Entering August, the war between the three major film companies has entered a white-hot stage.

Golden Harvest, the most popular company, released Hong Jinbao's new film "People Beat Others" after the Xu brothers' "Money Makes Mischief" broke the box office of tens of millions.

There is no doubt that Hong Jinbao's "People Beating People" is the sequel of "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts". The effect of big stars starring together is not bad.

Although not as good as his previous "Owl and Dumbo" and "Young Master Weiwei", the box office still exceeded 4 million in the first week of its release. After four weeks, it was another masterpiece that broke the 10 million box office. In the market, the total box office of 30 million is not under any pressure.

The Golden Princess movie was handed over to Zhang Aijia's "Crash into the Right". It only fell by 300,000 to 2.7 million, which is really surprising.

Shaw did not show any weakness here.

They took out "Blind Man", which Du Qifeng took 19 days to shoot, and confronted the two rivals.

From when Yin Jun took out the script to when Du Qifeng finished filming and edited the film, Shaw really only took 19 days.

Although this has little to do with the scene change of "Blind Man", which itself was filmed in the narrow place of Xiangjiang, in Yin Jun's view, Du Qifeng has some bad habits in the future, and pursues the time of filming too much.

Perhaps there is also Shaw's intention to finish filming and editing faster so that it can be released earlier, but such a number of 19 days is simply unimaginable for making a movie.

No good director can make a good movie in such a short period of time.

After all, it is impossible for all the actors to be Oscar-level, and editing and so on are not that simple.

Once you lower your requirements, you will cut corners and focus on utilitarianism in everything in the future.

Yin Jun couldn't bear it.

For this reason, Yin Jun specially gave Shao Yifu a phone call, denouncing this spirit of quick success and instant benefit.

Shao Yifu was stunned by the scolding. He didn't expect Yin Jun to care about such small things, not about the box office.

In fact, "Blind Man" is a slow-paced movie. Although many young people don't like it, some fans think it's good. It collected more than 3 million at the box office in three days on the weekend of its release. Not bad.

Even Xu Anhua, who was a guest at Yin Jun's house, praised this movie for its depth and not boring, and it is a rare good movie recently.

"It's better not to praise others." Yin Jun raised his hand a little funny and said, "You have been working on the post-production for so long, when will it be released?"

It has been two months since the filming of "Autumn Fairy Tale" was completed in early June. Xu Anhua has been doing post-production, and Yin Jun has not bothered her.

But in the current Xiangjiang, there are probably only two or three people who can do it for two months in the later stage.

Yin Jun knew that Xu Anhua's character was different from other filmmakers. She was a well-crafted cultural person, and she was in the same category as most filmmakers in Xiangjiang.

Only such directors can make movies that can stand the baptism of the years and truly become classics.

Looking at it 40 years later, you can say that Xu Anhua's movies are not popular, you can say that her movies are niche, but you will definitely not say that her movies are bad movies.

This alone is enough to make Yin Jun have patience.

Asked by Yin Jun, Xu Anhua said embarrassedly: "I found Princess Jin, and they are planning to arrange theaters for me in September. There are 18 movie theaters, and the screening is expected to last for 3 weeks."

"Not bad." Yin Jun nodded.

Golden Princess only has 16 movie theaters. If there are 18, they have to find 2 more outside. With such a scale and a 3-week release time, they are already more optimistic about "Autumn Fairy Tale".

Xu Anhua would not tell Yin Jun that part of the reason why Lei Juekun offered good conditions was that Zhou Runfa came to play the role, and more because she said that Yin Jun wrote the script and Yin Jun invested in the movie. Yes, Leihuo is willing to arrange it so well.

"Actually, I came to Jun Shao today to ask you about something." Xu Anhua was not good at words, and after a few words, he shifted to the purpose of his visit, "I was going to shoot "Crash into Zheng" first, it was you Tell me, let me finish filming this "Autumn Fairy Tale" first, and then consider "Crash into the Right". Zhang Aijia made it, do you think I can make another movie?"

Yin Jun was surprised when he heard the words: "Sister Hua, you just finished your work, why are you in such a hurry? Don't you need to take a break?"

"I'm so young, I don't need to rest." Xu Anhua hesitated for a moment, and said: "What's more, it's rare to meet someone like Jun Shao who supports art films. If I don't hurry up and make more, I worry that I won't have the chance in the future gone."

After hearing the words, Yin Jun was silent for a while.

At this moment, he thought of the movies that Xu Anhua had made all his life, winning many movie stars, film awards, and Golden Horse awards, but he was finally in his 60s and 70s, but he still lived with his mother in a 500-square-meter apartment. In the public rental housing of 100,000 square feet, there is no property belonging to him, so he is content with poverty.

Such a female director who devotes herself to art films and aspires to make good films is a real artist.

"Young Master Jun..."

Xu Anhua thought that Yin Jun was a bit unwilling, so he quickly said, "How about, I only need an investment of 2 million yuan for this movie... I don't want to share any dividends from "Autumn Fairy Tales"."

"No, no, no." Yin Jun came back to his senses and shook his head, "One size fits all. Show me the script, what's the initial budget? How do you plan to shoot? Who do you want to shoot?"

"The script is here." Xu Anhua took out a thick stack of scripts from his bag, and handed it to Yin Jun.

On the cover of the script, there are five big characters - "The Story of Hu Yue".

It really is this!

Yin Jun nodded. This story about Vietnamese refugees written by Zhang Tingjian was indeed taken by Xu Anhua just like the previous life.

Hu Yue's Story, the second and most acclaimed part of Xu Anhua's refugee trilogy, is ostensibly about Vietnamese refugees, but actually alludes In the era, Xiangjiang people felt hesitant in their hearts.

Zhang Tingjian's early works are profound but not biased. They are not as extreme as his later works, and even his ancestors are almost denied.

This kind of story, filmed by Xu Anhua, a delicate and majestic female director, really complements each other. It is no wonder that she has won numerous awards in various awards, and the box office is also very good.

In the history of the previous life, "The Story of Hu Yue" should have been written at this time, and then Xu Anhua held it in his hand, and slowly began to find funds, shoot, and finally succeeded.

Yin Jun was flipping through the script, his eyes were on the script, but he didn't have much focus.

He was thinking about whether to let Xu Anhua film this movie.

"The Story of Hu Yue" is a good movie, Yin Jun can't deny this.

However, Zhang Tingjian, who wrote the script, was a very troublesome person.

In his previous life, he started from seeking a solution to social conflicts, and then became obsessed with blaming Xiangjiang's decline because of his return. The scenes he filmed and what he said hurt the feelings of the two places so much, and he was suppressed by the mainland for twenty years. For a long time, it was not until after 2013 that he softened and began to slowly improve.

Yin Jun hates this kind of person who doesn't find reasons on himself, but blames others.

Xiangjiang is instigated by such cultural people, so it has a lot of bad influence.

Like Zhang Tingjian, including the group of idiot movie stars behind, Yin Jun can't say that he wants to block them, but he definitely doesn't pay much attention to them. He would rather give the same opportunity to others than to them.

That's why the young man knew that in Qiu Degen's Liyuan, the future Xiangjiang was singing and performing on stage after the first day, but he never thought of digging her out.

Back to Zhang Tingjian.

If Yin Jun asked Xu Anhua to film "The Story of Hu Yue", the best screenwriter of the first Hong Kong Film Awards in 1982 would be Zhang Tingjian's... Well, this is the last life, and now the Film Awards have not yet come out, even if they did. , will not be so narrow.

Even if Yin Jun wrote other scripts and won the best screenplay at the 1st Xiangjiang Film Awards, "The Story of Hu Yue" will definitely not disappear from everyone. Zhang Tingjian will definitely gain attention with such an excellent script , so that he won the favor of the film company as in his previous life, allowing him to continue writing screenplays and making movies.

After thinking about it, Yin Jun still gave up the idea of ​​blocking "The Story of Hu Yue".

A country can never have only one voice.

A mature film market cannot have only one type of film.

A film market with only one type of film is absolutely impossible for a long time.

The charm of a movie lies in its variety and in the various styles and ideas it presents.

If all movies follow Yin Jun's intentions, then the movie will lose its greatest meaning.

Movies are not just entertainment, they also take on the responsibility of guiding people to think and explore.

As long as they are not blatantly anti-human, and have a moral and acceptable bottom line for ordinary people, then they can be allowed to exist.

As for how long it can exist and whether it can create a category, that is the business of the movie audience.

Thoughts flashed by.

Here, Xu Anhua waited for Yin Jun to finish reading the script before saying: "I'm going to let Zhou Runfa play Hu Yue, the heroine Shen Qing will be played by Zhong Chuhong, the killer Asan will be played by Luo Li, and the reporter Li Lijun will be played by Miao Qian. Their schedule There is no problem, just prepare, it is possible to start filming in September.... In terms of cost, I will limit it to 2.5 million, do you think it is okay?"

At first she said 2 million, but seeing that Yin Jun did not object to the script, she boldly increased it by 500,000.

In the end, what Yin Jun cares about is not money, but the person she chooses.

"Sister Hua, can you stop letting Zhou Runfa pair up with Zhong Chuhong?" Yin Jun complained, "Chuchu has been filming movies and TV series since last year, and hasn't had much rest. Filming your scenes, especially when you are so tired very."

Xu Anhua wanted to laugh, but he held back, "Young Master Jun, Xiaohong is a good seedling. If he works hard, he will definitely achieve something... Ah Fa and her are just good friends. Besides, knowing you and her With Xiaohong's relationship, how could he dare to do anything?"

Yin Jun blushed, "I didn't mean this... Well, I basically agree with your request. Except for the killer Ah San! You can change someone, I think Jiang Dawei is pretty good."

"good."

Although Xu Anhua didn't understand why Yin Jun didn't like Luo Lie, Ah San's role was not so irreplaceable, so it was okay to change someone, not to mention that Jiang Dawei was much better than Luo Lie in terms of acting skills and ability.

Speaking of which, the people she chose were all outstanding actors in the Xiangjiang film industry.

If it was changed to a commercial film production, then 2.5 million, even the salary of these people is not enough to pay.

But this is a literary film that really tests acting skills. The director is Xu Anhua, a new wave director who has won many awards with "Mad Robbery". My own salary was reduced to a very low position to play the role.

It’s not just them. In the later Hollywood movies, many superstars of the 20 million dollar club, when they participated in theatrical film performances, their pay sometimes did not exceed 1 million, but they still seriously went to the performances to grind. Practice your acting skills.

This is also an important reason why the charm of Hollywood movies can be so great.

Those well-known celebrities, too many of them have experienced countless acting skills, it is definitely not a place where the young and tender.

There is no way to make a good movie just by selling your face and body.

Xu Anhua's reputation is not too great now, so for the sake of insurance, the candidates she chooses are basically her old team, not to mention Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong, Miao Qian is also Xu Anhua's friend.

She won't really become famous until this year's "Autumn Fairy Tale" and next year's "Hu Yue's Story" are released, and she won the awards, and she will become a big director who can choose good actors at will without fear of rejection.

In fact, Xu Anhua had always been the leader of Xiangjiang's literary and artistic films before Sunglasses King was famous for cheating. Even after Sunglasses became more famous, Xu Anhua's achievements were not inferior to him at all.

With such a great director in his hand, those stars who love literature and art can't escape Yin Jun's palm!
