Chapter 856 Actively Start Work
Bruckheimer is a very proactive person.
In his previous life, he was not someone who finished one project before moving on to a second project. He usually prepared several projects at the same time. Before this project was completed, the second project began to enter the planning stage.
Yin Jun likes such hard-working people.
And it was such a hard-working gold medal producer who read the script of "Beverly Hills Cop" for a full week.
During this period, Bruckheimer didn't go out much at all.
Then what he handed to Yin Jun was a thick stack of reflections and his own planning ideas, which was almost no thicker than the script.
A person's success is never accidental.
Yin Jun didn't know how Bruckheimer planned the production later, but just based on his understanding, planning methods and steps, he knew that he had understood the entire story and rhythm.
After slowly reading the manuscript, Yin Jun put it aside and said, "Jerry, are you willing to join Qilin Culture, or do you want to do it alone and just cooperate with us?"
Bruckheimer had already made plans and said after hearing this: "I hope to sign a five-year contract with Qilin Culture first. Within these five years, I will work for you wholeheartedly."
Who said Americans can't speak politely?
Do you see how beautifully Bruckheimer speaks?
Work wholeheartedly for Yin Jun.
However, they mentioned the prerequisites of “signing first” and “five years”.
You can't say that he is a rebel. After five years, he will fly away when his wings are strong. After all, he did not say that he would not renew his contract after five years.
However, there are so many people who want to leave when their wings get tough. No one can guarantee that Bruckheimer will still be able to stay in Qilin Culture in five years.
At least Yin Jun knew that Bruckheimer probably wouldn't be able to keep him.
He may not have much thoughts now, he just doesn't want to lock himself in the future, but in 5 years' time, after he continues to succeed, and his vision and realm have reached a higher level, he will definitely be willing to chase his dreams on his own. .
In the history of his previous life, Bruckheimer was such a strong person.
He is the boss of a small film company, but relying on his status as a gold medal producer, he has been rated as "one of the most powerful people in Hollywood" for many years in a row. How can his ability and ambition be ordinary?
Naturally, Yin Jun had no intention of forcing Bruckheimer to stay based on his prediction of the future.
If he now says that a 10-year contract can guarantee my reuse of you, Bruckheimer may have no choice but to agree in the end.
Because Bruckheimer needs this opportunity so much.
But Yin Jun didn't want to do this.
Bruckheimer is a very powerful gold medal producer, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t find someone who can replace him.
And Yin Jun knows where Hollywood production will develop in the future.
When the works of Marvel and DC comics are put on the screen one after another, the role of these so-called producers, directors, and even stars will be greatly reduced.
Exquisite production, hot special effects, gripping plots, eye-catching handsome guys and beauties... Together, these have dominated Hollywood blockbusters for more than two decades since 2000, and dominated the box office.
Only a few people can truly rely on their own understanding of movies to make good movies that don't require these things.
Kubrick counts as one, Woody Allen counts as one, Spielberg counts as one, Truck Driver counts as one, Christopher Nolan counts as one, Tim Burton counts as one, David Fincher counts as one, Quentin Tower counts as one. Lentino counts as one.
There are probably not many left, even if there are fish that slip through the net.
But these masters above are usually stubborn and don’t have many works. It is very difficult to cooperate with them.
Yin Jun should work with a director who is good at commercial films, and that would be enough.
For example, Michael Bay, Chris Columbus, Joss Wayne, Ridley Scott, Stephen Sommers... these are enough, and there is no need for Bruckheimer to keep an eye on them.
So, having Bruckheimer is great, but Qilin Movies can still do well without him.
This is what Yin Jun has always wanted Qilin Movies to do, or in other words, it is what he can insist on doing in the future.
We should not rely too much on one person, but should rely on the strength of the entire company and the joint efforts of everyone to move forward.
Just like Disney after 2012.
Come back to the present.
Bruckheimer can help Yin Jun for five years, which is actually a good thing. Yin Jun can squeeze his potential and let him produce several movies.
With Bruckheimer's gold-medal production capabilities, these films will naturally help Disney and United Artists get on the right track faster after they are filmed and released.
Even if Bruckheimer doesn't have the production ability he had at his peak, Yin Jun will not give him a film that is too difficult. If he can't complete it, he will really live up to his illustrious reputation in his previous life starting in 1983.
Seeing that Yin Jun remained silent, Bruckheimer seemed slightly nervous.
He didn't know what Yin Jun was thinking about, whether he thought his answer was too rude.
But this is also Bruckheimer's sincere explanation of his feelings to Yin Jun, and he also doesn't want to cause trouble with Yin Jun later because of this.
From the perspective of Americans, this must be a cautious attitude. After all, no one knows what will happen to Bruckheimer later.
If he performs well, he can just renew his contract after five years.
If his performance is not as good as expected, he will leave on his own after five years without any further delay.
But Bruckheimer remembered that he was in Hong Kong now, and Chinese people seemed to pay attention to staying the same, or working for one company for the rest of their lives... just like the Japanese companies that are very popular in the United States recently.
If Yin Jun thinks the same as those people, then he is really ruining his chance!
He was about to explain something to Yin Jun, but Yin Jun spoke at this time, "Then let's sign the contract for 5 years first! However, I hope you can take over the production of at least 6 movies. The contract will be finalized after the production of these 6 movies. ,is that OK?"
"no problem!"
The big stone in Bruckheimer's heart fell to the ground, and an excitement surged in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Yin Jun would give himself such a big responsibility, trust himself so much, and give himself 6 movies to do.
No matter how lonely United Artists Film Company is, it is still one of the seven giants in Hollywood. It is absolutely unique that it can occupy the production share of 6 movies here!
If I don't make a good movie, I will really feel sorry for Yin Jun's appreciation.
After he digested his mood, Yin Juncai continued: "You should also read the character introduction of this movie. The rest is to find the director, set up the crew members, location and other factors, you can handle it yourself. If you need anything , I will ask Ms. Tang to cooperate with you... As for the production cost, I approved the 20 million US dollars you estimated. However, I will only give the crew 10 million US dollars for the publicity cost. How much can you save on the 20 million US dollars production cost? This will increase the cost of publicity and distribution.”
"good!"
Bruckheimer readily agreed.
But he still insisted on expressing his worries, "Master Jun, I still stick to my suggestion in the plan. It is really dangerous to use a black man as the leading role and then use a Chinese female lead. I'm worried The box office failed to meet expectations, causing losses to the company."
"You don't need to think too much about this." Yin Jun raised his hand and said, "You have to remember that as long as it is a movie produced by our company, a Chinese will definitely play one of the leading roles. A good movie only needs to be paired with good actors. That’s it, it doesn’t matter which country they are from. This is also my insistence, do you understand?”
"yes!"
Bruckheimer nodded immediately.
The boss has said so, how could he still find Boring?
"If you agree, I would like to take both the male and female protagonists back to the United States this time and start adaptive preparations." Bruckheimer said, "Including understanding of firearms and some rules and customs of the United States. The familiarity with each other, as well as each other’s familiarity with the script, all need to be prepared in advance. I hope to start filming in June at the latest.”
"Okay." Yin Jun said, "Eddie Murphy will follow you back to the United States, and Lin Qingxia has returned to Los Angeles. You can just go find her then."
"good!"
Bruckheimer simply finished talking, packed up, returned to the hotel, and started booking flights.
Yin Jun looked a little funny, but he also felt his positive energy.
He didn't ask what the box office expectations for "Beverly Hills Cop" were, but he still worked on it seriously, hoping to reach above the standard.
After all, this is his first film.
Bruckheimer certainly didn't know that the North American box office of "Beverly Hills Cop" would reach more than 230 million US dollars, and the global box office would exceed 400 million US dollars, beating the second episode of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and winning it in one fell swoop It became the North American box office champion that year.
If "Beverly Hills Cop" wasn't so suitable for Eddie Murphy's characteristics, Yin Jun wouldn't have been willing to let Eddie Murphy play it. He actually wanted Yuen Biao or Hung Kam-bao to play it.
It would be a waste not to give it to one of our own people for such a good and popular movie that brings both fame and fortune.
But fortunately Eddie Murphy also signed a 10-year contract with Yin Jun. Such a long contract is enough for Eddie Murphy to contribute his best acting career to Qilin Movies.
Moreover, Qilin Movies cannot praise all Chinese people. If it does not even praise a few European and American stars, I am afraid that they will be used by people with malicious intentions to incite others to make trouble, which will then trigger inexplicable resistance and crusade from Europe and the United States. That would not be good. .
Although most of the big-name stars in Europe and the United States are weirdos, with weird tempers and causing trouble everywhere, there are also very good actors among them.
For example, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Morgan, etc. are all good stars that can be fully supported!
