Chapter 863 God-Level Movie

"Master Jun, two gentlemen came to see you. They said they were from Zhongyuan Film Production Company."

In the morning, Yin Jun was writing a manuscript in the office of Radio Channel when he suddenly heard his secretary knocking on the door and saying this.

Guan Zhilin came over to the house last night, and Yin Jun naturally worked hard for the girl. He sent her to school this morning, and he stopped by to work here for a while.

"Um?"

Yin Jun stopped writing, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Invite them in and make a pot of good tea."

"yes!"

The female secretary agreed crisply and left.

Not long after, she brought two middle-aged men into the office.

Yin Jun didn't recognize them, but he stood up and expressed his goodwill.

The people from Zhongyuan Film have business in Hong Kong, so of course that doesn’t mean they don’t understand the people and sophistication of Hong Kong.

A thinner man immediately stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jun. I am Tan Kunzhen, the general manager of Zhongyuan Films, and this is our director Zhang Xingyan."

"Hello!"

Yin Jun shook hands with them all, with a smile on his face.

I don't know the name of Tan Kunzhen or Zhang Xingyan. He seems to have heard of it, but he just can't remember it.

"I wonder if you two are here today. Do you have something to do?" Yin Jun asked them to sit down. Just as the secretary came in with a pot of tea, he also poured tea for the two of them. "We are all one family. If you have anything to say, you can say it openly, and I will definitely not refuse if I can do it.”

Yin Jun has been in Xiangjiang for so long, but no one from Phoenix or Great Wall has ever come to him.

Oh, Phoenix and Great Wall were merged into Zhongyuan Movies two years ago.

On weekdays, they still follow the previous style, making some movies they want to make, and then mainly showing them in places such as Anle Cinema Line, and also selling them to Nanyang. Basically, they will not lose much money. Even if they lose money, the mainland I will also grit my teeth and fill them in for them.

It stands to reason that Yin Jun is relatively close to the Mainland, and he behaves very friendly when he goes to the Mainland. They, Zhongyuan Film, should know that Yin Jun is at least leaning towards their side, but they still haven't made any move, even asking Yin Jun to write a script. It doesn't mean anything.

The young man didn't quite understand this, but on the other hand, maybe it was a kind of protection for him. After all, being too close to Zhongyuan Film would not be a good thing for Yin Jun's current development.

But no matter what, now that they are here, Yin Jun still expresses his attitude as always.

Even Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai can secretly support Zhongyuan Film, buying movies every year and supporting theaters in Nanyang. What can I not dare to do?

Hearing what Yin Jun said, Tan Kunzhen and Zhang Xingyan both laughed.

Zhang Xingyan, who had been silent just now, considered his words and said, "Master Jun, since you are so straightforward, I will not beat around the bush. At the end of last year, I was invited to go to the mainland to save the film and accepted a movie. Because before The director's style was different from mine, so it took me half a year to finally find the actor I wanted.

But after searching, I discovered that the 1 million Hong Kong dollars the company provided me for filming was simply not enough. Even if all the actors and shooting expenses in the mainland are not very expensive, there are many scenes and many plots that need to be carefully crafted. We also have many places to go..."

Yin Jun understood, he was here for sponsorship.

"No problem, how much does it cost?" Yin Jun asked directly.

It's a rare occasion for them to come to your door, and they certainly can't refuse. Even Jiahe, Princess Jin, and Shaw Brothers Yin Jun are all helping. Could it be that these real people of our own don't help?

Yin Jun's boldness made all the words Zhang Xingyan prepared useless.

He was in a daze for a while and then said: "It would be great if I could give you 2 million Hong Kong dollars. But if I want to be the best, I want 5 million Hong Kong dollars."

"good."

Yin Jun nodded, took out his checkbook from his body, and said while writing: "By the way, what movie is Mr. Zhang making? Is it a war movie with a main theme and a rhythm?"

When I think about it as a teenager, this kind of movie is the only one that costs a lot of money.

Zhang Xingyan didn't understand what the main melody was, but he also understood the words behind it.

He shook his head and said, "No, it's a story about Shaolin monks fighting against bad guys."

Yin Jun's pen stopped for a moment.

He immediately raised his head, ""Shaolin Temple"? You were filming "Shaolin Temple"?"

Zhang Xingyan became more and more surprised, "Master Jun, are you so familiar with the news of Zhongyuan Film? Yes, it was "Shaolin Temple" that started filming last year. Well, this is the tentative title!"

"hehe!"

Yin Jun put down the pen.

He didn't let Zhang Xingyan and the others see his excitement.

Let me tell you, I have heard of both of them.

You are the one!

Director Zhang Xingyan!

The director of the miraculous "Shaolin Temple"!

Why is it said to be a miracle?

It goes without saying that "Shaolin Temple" is good-looking and popular.

Let’s talk about its box office!

According to incomplete statistics, it is 160 million yuan.

Why do we say "incomplete"?

Because many dama movies in rural China do not charge money and are played for free.

If all this counts, it will cost at least another 300 million!

Because the Ba Ba movie "Shaolin Temple" was still played in rural areas until the 1990s, and it was played over and over again!

Let’s not count the 300 million yuan, let’s count the 160 million yuan according to statistics.

Around 1982-1983, the ticket price for movies in mainland China was about 10 cents.

The average ticket price of "Wolf Warrior 2", which broke China's box office record, was 40 yuan.

If the ticket price of "Shaolin Temple" is calculated as 40 yuan compared to "Wolf Warrior 2", how much is the box office?

64 billion yuan!

Based on this kind of comparison, would you still think that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" with more than 5 billion yuan is incredible?

The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is considered to be astonishing, so the box office of "Shaolin Temple" must have flown out of the solar system.

"Shaolin Temple" is not only popular domestically, but also popular outside.

It ranks fourth among Hong Kong films of the year, with a box office of around 16 million, which seems a bit low.

But if you know that it was only released in Anle Cinemas and three or four other cinemas, a total of 8 cinemas, you will know how hard-won this achievement is!

The box office of "Shaolin Temple" in Japan was 4 billion yen.

This record was only broken 20 years later by "Heroes" with 4.1 billion.

The box office in South Korea is 5.1 billion won, which is the highest box office record for Chinese films in South Korea so far.

And one thing to note is that the purchasing power of the Japanese yen and Korean won in 1983 was completely different from that of 2000 and 2010!

If you take inflation into account, for example, "Heroes" really can't even catch up with others.

Besides, it's not just Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea. Except for Treasure Island, "Shaolin Temple" has swept across Asia. No movie can be more powerful than it!

When Yin Jun saw it for the first time as a child, he thought it was very good-looking.

Wait until he grows up to see it, it will still look good.

When he went to work, he watched it again. He was not tired of it and still enjoyed it.

This feeling alone is enough to make Yin Jun love "Shaolin Temple" very much.

He was originally waiting for "Shaolin Temple" to be released in Hong Kong next year and went out of his way to support it.

Unexpectedly, the great director Zhang Xingyan came to our door!

"Shaolin Temple" is short of money, and Yin Jun also knows it. It seems that the previous director made it, but the momentum has not come out, so Zhongyuan Film asked Zhang Xingyan to save the situation.

Zhang Xingyan read the filming materials several times and rejected them all. The investment of 400,000 Hong Kong dollars was all in vain.

Yin Jun didn't know how the photo was taken in the end, but it must have been completed relatively smoothly, otherwise the result wouldn't be so detailed and beautiful.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Xingyan came to visit him in this life, Yin Jun was still very interested in helping "Shaolin Temple".

What's wrong with making a classic even more classic?

Zhang Xingyan was watching Yin Jun writing the check, but suddenly stopped. He really didn't know what Yin Jun meant.

Tan Kunzhen misunderstood at this time. He slapped his forehead and said: "Look at our memories... We all understand the rules of film investment. Mr. Jun, this movie was made by us and the mainland. The box office in the mainland will definitely not be settled with you." , but in Hong Kong, as well as in places like Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, we have to divide the box office according to the investment amount. If you pay more, you will definitely get more."

"Oh...oh, no!"

Yin Jun woke up from his thoughts and smiled brightly, "I didn't mean that. I was just thinking, is Director Zhang's HKD 5 million enough?"

Zhang Xingyan's eyes widened. There is nothing wrong with this person, right? I have never mentioned investors who want to give more!

"I recently helped the crew from the Mainland, and I know that they are working very hard." Yin Jun continued, ""Shaolin Temple" is definitely a martial arts scene, so the chance of injury will be higher. Everyone is working so hard, so we need to Traveling to various places to shoot on-site. Therefore, if the treatment is better and the food, clothing and housing are more comfortable, the possibility of achieving good results will be greater.

Manager Tan just talked about the sharing, so I will be more direct. If you need my sponsorship, I will give you 2 million. But if you are willing to accept my investment and share the profits, then I am willing to pay 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The box office in the mainland does not count. All box offices outside the mainland will be operated by me. In the end, I will take 50% of the net profit. What do you think? ? "

10 million Hong Kong dollars?

Only 50% profit share?

Tan Kunzhen and Zhang Xingyan looked at each other, not knowing what Yin Jun was thinking.

In their calculations, Zhongyuan Film had originally collected 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which was actually enough. However, Zhang Xingyan suddenly had a whim and thought that Yin Jun had always been very good to mainlanders. Could he ask him for some money? Sponsoring will give you more funds and allow you to shoot with greater ease.

After hearing this, Tan Kunzhen felt that it was reasonable. Anyway, Yin Jun had nothing to lose if he didn't give, so he followed Zhang Xingyan.

They didn't expect that Yin Jun was much more generous than they thought.

With Yin Jun's investment of 10 million, Zhongyuan Film did not have to spend any money, and it could earn at least 3 million Hong Kong dollars even before the filming was completed.

Where can I find such a good thing?

As for the 50% profit sharing, they didn't think much about it at all.

According to previous experience, no mainstream theater chain would dare to show the movies they made with great fanfare in the mainland. At most, a few Anle Cinemas would support them. If there are more than 5 cinemas, they are considered powerful.

Like this, how much money can you make?

I'm afraid that the box office is barely two to three million, right?

The overseas box office will be higher, especially if it goes out in the name of Yin Jun Investment, but can it have a buyout price of 20 million?

Only when the buyout reaches 20 million Hong Kong dollars and 50% is divided, Yin Jun will not lose money.

No matter how you calculate this account, Yin Jun will suffer a huge loss!
