Chapter 720 Just Don’t Hold Back

The huge profits of "Police School" made Qiu Degen a little envious.

When drinking tea with Yin Jun, he also sighed: "If movies are so easy to make money, I think many people will want to come in and make a fortune!"

"It's not that good." Yin Jun was not very happy, "It seems that "Police Academy" is very good, but in reality? If there are not so many foreign actors, how can it win so much box office around the world? ?White people, black people, Americans, British people, Japanese people, Korean people, Taiwanese people... these factors are the important factors that can be a global box office hit! If it were just a Hong Kong actor, it would be rare to have someone like this score."

"That's right!" Qiu Degen nodded and said, "Even Li Xiaolong's "Enter the Dragon" didn't have foreign actors? Just a simple Hong Kong movie, I really don't know when it will rise!"

"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing." Yin Jun said, "What I am worried about now is that the influx of capital will have a very bad impact on the film industry in Hong Kong. For example, from January to October this year, Hong Kong New There were 8 film companies opened, but as of now, only 3 of them are left. Counting those that opened and closed down in the previous two years, there are now a total of 25 film companies arranging films every year.

A place as small as Xiangjiang, even if the markets of Baodao, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are included, it cannot accommodate so many film companies! And most of them don't have any professional talents. The team they put together can only make rough productions, which will inevitably affect the image of Xiangjiang movies, and even our local movie fans in Xiangjiang may also be lost because of this. "

"Fortunately, it's enough for me to be a TV station." Qiu Degen said with a smile, "The profits in the film industry are huge, but it's uncomfortable to lose money. This kind of exciting thing is not suitable for an old man like me."

Qiu Degen started his career by showing movies in the countryside of Xiangjiang, but after he became prosperous, he chose the television industry instead of his favorite film industry.

I don’t know if this is related to his wife’s plane crash because of a movie.

"But having said that, the investment for the second part of "Police Academy" is as high as 150 million Hong Kong dollars. Is it too exaggerated? Are you confident that it can sell better?" Qiu Degen asked curiously.

"I didn't want to have so many expenses. But for the one in the UK, his agent directly asked for double the salary. Then I wanted to get these people together, but I didn't have enough money. There's no way to impress them and the company behind them." Yin Jun said, "Even if it's Eddie Murphy that I signed, it's impossible for me not to give him a raise at all, right?

As for box office sales, I dare not say too much, but the first three films should be good. I don’t plan to shoot too many more shots of this series. If I shoot too much, it will consume the audience’s enthusiasm to a greater extent and become a pure money-making work. And if it ends just right, it will make the audience full of expectations for my next movie. "

"Police Academy" is a work from the 1990s in the previous life, and a total of 7 films were filmed.

In that era when there were no special effects movies, it should be said that their box office performance was pretty good. The previous ones were all huge profits, and even the last one made more than 60 million US dollars. With the global release and the sale of various copyrights, it was still profitable. A lot of money.

Yin Jun doesn't really like this rhythm of shooting a series to death. He prefers Hollywood's approach in the 21st century.

For example, little spider.

First make two or three "Spider-Man" movies and watch the box office drop, then freeze them for five, six, seven or eight years. When people are interested again, they will make two or three more movies... This cycle will continue for four to fifty years. It can still make people feel fresh.

Another example is Marvel's Heroes series, which is usually released every two or three years. Each one has its own plot, so people won't lose interest because of waiting for too long.

This approach is the way to long-term development, so as not to waste all the benefits and destroy a good IP.

After making three parts of "Police Academy", wouldn't it be possible to restart one or two parts in a few years and use emotions and better scripts and productions to make money?

Qiu De was a little worried that after Yin Jun's global success, his ambition was soaring and he would continue to make big movies. Such a movie would lose tens of millions. Even if Yin Jun had a net worth of billions, he couldn't bear the trouble!

Seeing Yin Jun's calmness, Qiu Degen was also convinced that A Jun's achievements today are not in vain.

After talking about other things, Qiu Degen also talked about the reason for his visit today, "It will be 1981 soon. The script you wrote for us last time, Arjun, will still have "Huo Dongge" next year, and then "Xiangjiang" The sitcom "81 to Hong Kong 86" still needs to be filmed. In addition, although we also have to produce some films ourselves, Lao Huang and Lao Zhong asked me to ask you for a few more scripts, so that we can all feel more at ease. .”

"good!"

Yin Jun had long expected that Qiu Degen would have such an idea. After all, this was what Jiashi did in the past two years. Every year, he would ask Yin Jun for a script as his signature.

ATV's screenwriters, headed by Xiao Ruoyuan and others, are actually quite good, but if they are compared with Yin Jun, they are much worse.

It’s not that Yin Jun is too powerful, it’s just that what Yin Jun has produced is a TV series that has been tested by people in Hong Kong, the mainland and even all Asia. The most important thing for screenwriters now is that they have not opened their minds and are still locked in this era. How can they be with Comparing Yin Jun to someone who always crushes the best products of the past twenty years?

ATV has only been established for more than a year now, and everything is improving. It even turned a profit within half a year. Qiu Degen doesn't want this momentum to be interrupted. No matter what, he has to ask Yin Jun to help him. Year.

Originally, a group of ATV executives thought that Yin Jun, now that he had established his own Kylin TV, would definitely fight TVB and ATV to death in order to achieve his goal of dominating the Hong Kong TV industry, and they would not give scripts to his competitors.

But Qiu Degen knew that Yin Jun's ambition was not in the small land of Xiangjiang at all, but in the whole of Asia. People called it "Satellite TV". Isn't this clear enough?

Therefore, ATV is not a big threat to Yin Jun at all, and he will not be so stingy.

As expected, Yin Jun readily agreed.

"I have four scripts here for ATV." Yin Jun said thoughtfully, "But I have a request."

"explain!"

Qiu Degen said rather grandly.

"There is a drama about a policewoman, and I would like to find Lin Qingxia from Baodao to play the role. She is the number one protagonist in the TV series." Yin Jun said.

"Oh? Lin Qingxia?" Qiu Degen said in surprise, "Isn't she hiding in the United States recently and not acting?"

"How can it be so easy to quit once you enter the world?" Yin Jun said, "She has already taken Cheng Long's new movie in the United States. When the filming is completed there, she can come to Xiangjiang to shoot."

"You know her so well? Are you interested in her?" Qiu Degen said with a smile.

"No, she and I have never spoken!" Yin Jun said, "It's just that I like her as an actor very much. It would be a pity if she doesn't act. In this TV series, she is the only one who can perform Shen Yun... Uncle Qiu, If you can find her, the ratings of this TV series will not be worse than "Brother Xin Zha", maybe even better!"

"Okay! Then let's talk to her." Qiu Degen was immediately moved after hearing this.

Think about the scene where everyone is talking about Zhang Weijie being loved everywhere!

Even Yin Jun said this, it really requires hard work, even if Lin Qingxia's salary is very expensive, it is still worth it.

After finishing the script, Yin Jun asked again: "Uncle Qiu, how have you considered the satellite TV matter I talked to you about last time?"

"I think it can still be done, but in the current environment, I'm a little worried that the initial investment will be too high." Qiu Degen frowned, "You also know, Uncle Qiu, although my family background is not thin, but compared to yours It's far from the truth. Most of my money is the value of the stock market, so I don't have much money to use. If something goes wrong, it will easily spread to the stock market and affect other companies.

But if you do it, Uncle Qiu, I will definitely support you! I dare not say anything else. You can use ATV’s artists, producers and other resources as you wish! I will always give you the green light. Combining the power of our two TV stations, with your strength, Arjun, you will definitely be able to conquer TV audiences across Asia! "

Yin Jun smiled when he heard this.

What Qiu Degen said were all excuses. In fact, he was timid and cautious. He was unwilling to accompany Yin Jun to take the lead. Instead, he hoped that Yin Jun would break into the market first, and then he would sit back and enjoy the gains.

The same goes for lending actors and resources to Yin Jun.

On the surface, he seems to be very generous, handing over his elite to Kylin TV.

But Yin Jun borrowed ATV's people and resources, but it didn't cost nothing.

On the other hand, if Yin Jun succeeds, Qiu Degen can get a big deal for nothing. Using these actors who have already become famous, the behind-the-scenes staff who have accumulated experience can directly start to use satellites and start to work all over the world. Asia conquers cities and territories.

However, for Yin Jun, this is already very good support.

Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, Huang Yuanshen, Liang Xiaolong... these super superstars are now very popular in Asia. If they can join Yin Jun's camp, it will definitely be like joining a few tigers, making them even more powerful.

Moreover, with Qiu Degen's approval, Shao Yifu would definitely not be able to stop him. After all, he could just let Yin Jun be the cattle pioneer and then enjoy the benefits himself.

Yin Jun is not afraid of fighting alone.

As far as he is concerned, as long as this group of people don't hold him back, judging from all the TV dramas and variety shows in Asia now, they are no match for him at all.

Under the pressure of ideas that have surpassed this era, no matter which TV station in any country, they will only lose their armor!
