Chapter 848 Two Visitors

Setting foot on the land of Xiangjiang again, Tang Shuxuan felt a sense of comfort that she had not seen for a long time.

It’s not that the environment in Xiangjiang is better than that in the United States. The geography, land, weather, food, etc. of Los Angeles are much better than those in Xiangjiang.

However, Chinese people always have a feeling of being unable to leave their homeland.

Even people like Tang Shuxuan who have received modern education often miss their hometown and Xiangjiang, a place where they have lived for a long time.

I remember that the last time she left here, she had made up her mind to stop working and focus on taking care of her family and children.

Unexpectedly, she would board Yin Jun's pirate ship soon.

First, he helped him translate novels and find publishers, then helped him buy the film and television adaptation rights for various scripts and books he was interested in, and then acquired the digital field and IMAX company, and now it has become Kirin Culture America. President of the company.

She has still not recovered from such a series of huge changes.

In the past month or two, it has been basically confirmed that the Kirin Group, which will fully acquire the privatized Disney and United Artists Films, sent the president of the American branch to inspect and interview the top management of the two companies. , as well as visiting Disneyland in various places.

Dismissals when they should be dismissed, adjustments when they should be adjusted, and promotions when they should be promoted.

Although these things do not have to be completed within two months, Yin Jun hopes that at least the first phase of adjustments can be completed when arranging to contact the theaters of "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Even when she was so busy, Tang Shuxuan had to take time to rush to Xiangjiang. She felt that she could really endure the intensity of work.

In other words, such high-intensity work will make her feel that her life is more meaningful?

She returned to Xiangjiang, of course, not to return to her hometown in glory, but to come to Yin Jun to fulfill her promise.

Kirin Group has acquired Disney and United Artists Movies, and of course there will be some targeted actions.

United Art Films is a little better. After a series of arrangements made by the original shareholder Pan American Insurance, the debt is only 200 million. Although it is borne by the Kirin Group, the earliest installment of these debts will be repaid after one year. The latest will be two years from now.

But Disney is different.

Disney's debt is surprisingly high. So far, it owes a huge loan of US$1 billion to banks, fund companies, and investment banks. Just paying the interest every month is heartbreaking, let alone having such a big family to pay. feed.

Disney's son-in-law and nephew were so easily removed from the board of directors precisely because they saw Disney's huge difficulties and wanted to stand by and see how Kirin Group solved this mess.

If that doesn't work out, it will be up to the Disney family to clean up the mess.

Tang Shuxuan remembered very clearly that when Yin Jun asked her to serve as president, the first condition was that he would prepare a literary film for her Oscar, and the second condition was that he would give her the greatest support in the script.

Disney has its own Disney Channel, which is a star-rated TV station. Although it is part of the ABC TV network, it is also operated independently. Its viewing coverage is all over the United States, and it now has more than 3 million viewers.

Not too much, but definitely not overwhelming.

Once you have your own channel, whether it has enough products to become a hit is the biggest reason why the channel can be successful.

On this point, to be honest, Tang Shuxuan has never been worried.

She has great trust in Yin Jun.

Although Yin Jun has never written a TV series related to American culture, Tang Shuxuan just feels that there has never been anyone who can compare with Yin Jun in terms of screenwriting.

Art is all connected.

It's like Yin Jun writing a novel.

Yin Jun's novels written in Chinese can fascinate countless people in Europe and the United States. This is the charm of stories, and this is the best embodiment of his ability to write stories.

Yin Jun can even write a book as complicated as "A Song of Ice and Fire", let alone some American-style scripts.

Moreover, this was promised to Tang Shuxuan by Yin Jun himself.

According to Tang Shuxuan's understanding of Yin Jun, this little man never said exaggerated words or boasted. As long as he said it, he must be absolutely sure.

Therefore, after initially sorting out Disney and United Artists Films, Tang Shuxuan called Yin Jun and happily returned to Xiangjiang to ask for the script.

Tang Shuxuan has lived in the United States for so many years. She knows deeply that as long as there are good TV series, they have a decisive influence on a channel's ratings and advertising revenue.

Yin Jun gave him a notebook, and Disney's first shot was fired.

Given two books, Disney dares to compete with established TV channels for ratings.

Three notebooks...

With three books, as long as one year's time, the Disney TV Channel will soar to the sky and become a very important golden brand that no one will dare to ignore anymore.

Once the Disney TV channel becomes popular, Disney will stabilize, and it will stabilize immediately.

Unlike "The Lion King" which is in preliminary planning, it still needs so much time to do painting, production, post-production and other work.

The effect of the TV series is almost immediate.

If you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Within two or three weeks, the audience will vote with the remote control in their hands to declare whether you will ascend to heaven or go to hell.

Yin Jun's TV series...

hehe.

Of course it was a blockbuster!

Thinking of this, Tang Shuxuan couldn't help but look at the man next to her.

When I came to Xiangjiang for the first time, I sat in the Mercedes-Benz car sent by the company to greet me. This man seemed very interested and looked at everything in Xiangjiang.

The urban construction of Xiangjiang is basically in line with that of Britain.

Britain is the ancestral homeland of most Americans. They all like the British style. So the man looked at the familiar scenes and was a little curious and surprised. How could there be someone so British in the far east? A place in a national city?

Tang Shuxuan did not know this man three days ago.

Just hearing that she was coming, Yin Jun asked her to take this man back to Xiangjiang.

After talking to Tang Shuxuan, she learned that this man in his thirties named Jerry was a movie actor and a movie screenwriter.

Tang Shuxuan is familiar with many stars in the United States, but this relatively ordinary-looking Jerry is definitely not a famous movie actor or a famous screenwriter.

On the way over by plane, Tang Shuxuan and Jerry talked a lot about movies. Apart from finding that he was very clear in thinking and quite insightful in commenting on movies, she didn't find any other characteristics in him.

Tang Shuxuan basically had no impression of the movies Jerry starred in.

I really don’t know why Yin Jun came to him specifically.

But according to Jerry, Yin Jun called him two months ago. After chatting with him several times, he invited him to come to Xiangjiang to talk.

As for what Yin Jun wanted to talk to him, Jerry himself didn't know.

Oh, right.

Jerry's full name is Jerry Bruckheimer.

This young man who graduated from a prestigious school and once had a lucrative salary in an advertising company gave up his job seven years ago and turned to Hollywood.

It is very difficult for anyone to enter Hollywood.

Didn’t that truck driver almost collapse once, but he resolutely stole the materials he shot and edited and made the movie himself?

The same is true for Jerry Bruckheimer. He started from a small role with no lines at the beginning and has now become a pretty good second-rate actor and an unsuccessful producer. He spent too much time.

And this is not all due to his acting skills, but he is acting and writing scripts at the same time, and then applying for some jobs to help the director with chores, or to be a production assistant... After all this is accumulated, all aspects of it have improved. It was only through his strength that he achieved initial success and became somewhat famous.

If Yin Jun hadn't found him, Jerry Bruckheimer was actually planning to take a break for a while and then consider whether he should continue acting or give up acting and become a producer.

Before today, he had been the producer of five films, but none of them had real rights.

Most of the time, he was doing odd jobs for the director, that is, taking charge of all the crew affairs. He didn't reap any of the benefits of having real power.

This is actually the same as the producer and director of Xiangjiang.

The same is true in Hollywood. Whoever is capable and famous will be the boss of the crew.

Most of the time, producers and directors have to differentiate themselves, unless the producer and director themselves are golden partners.

Otherwise, who makes the final decision on this movie, and which plan should be followed when there are differences, must be considered.

Generally speaking, the people who act as producers are the leaders of the crew. After all, they usually represent the investors and the film company.

But if you are a director like Spielberg, then no matter who becomes the producer, do you still dare to be Spielberg's boss? Just do your job as a housekeeper!

Producers like Jerry Bruckheimer are the stewards that investors find for film directors.

However, he didn't make a fuss, he just did his job seriously, which earned him praise from several directors and made the production company look high on him.

This is where Jerry Bruckheimer is smart.

Before you have any strength and reputation, never try to challenge authority. This is a very stupid thing.

Even though it is very hard now, he has no fame, and he does not have much income, he can learn a lot. Sometimes when the director sees that he is serious and responsible, he will answer a few more of his questions and teach him in production. What issues should I pay attention to when watching a movie?

Over time, Jerry Bruckheimer has really learned a lot and is getting closer and closer to becoming a qualified producer.

However, he still couldn't become the kind of producer he thought he was.

After all, such a producer is either a big name that the company trusts most and has rich experience; or he is someone who can raise funds so that he can speak loudest.

Although he has some savings, in a place like Hollywood, what is one or two million dollars? Where could a producer have made any good movies?

Therefore, the hesitant Jerry Bruckheimer finally made up his mind to come to Xiangjiang for a visit after several conversations with Yin Jun.

Let's see if Yin Jun, the most popular upstart tycoon in Hollywood recently, can bring him some extra opportunities.

Sometimes, some people are not without strength, they just lack the opportunity to trigger their luck.

Now Jerry Bruckheimer feels that Yin Jun may be his noble man.

Even if it's not, it doesn't matter, just treat it as a trip to Xiangjiang. Anyway, Yin Jun is responsible for the round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation.

If you want to be a qualified producer, a broad mind is indispensable!
