Chapter 945 Superstar Comes to Hong Kong
In Xiangjiang, a large number of movie fans gathered at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.
Looking at the poster they held up, it looked like a portrait of Sylvester Stallone, a very popular star in the United States.
The slogan they held also read "Welcome to Xiangjiang".
Standing in his luxurious suite, looking at the dozens of movie fans below, Stallone grinned unconsciously.
Because the left side of his face had an accident when he was born and became facial paralysis, he looked very ugly when he smiled. Therefore, Stallone did not smile most of the time. This actually cultivated his tough guy image, and he became the same as Schwarzenegger. Called the two tough guys in Hollywood.
This time when he came to Xiangjiang, Stallone didn't discuss it with anyone, he just took a plane and came over by himself.
Originally thinking that not many people would know him when he came to this strange East, Stallone just wore a pair of sunglasses. But as soon as he walked out of the security check, he was spotted by reporters, who immediately rushed over and interviewed him excitedly.
Because of the reporters' blockage, some movie fans knew that Stallone had come to Xiangjiang, and several people followed him outside the Peninsula Hotel, which attracted the attention of others, so there were so many people surrounding him.
Naturally, the Peninsula Hotel would not allow them to enter, but they were unwilling to disperse, holding signs and posters, hoping that Stallone would come to meet him.
Stallone also saw a reporter coming over with a camera. While he was surprised by the response speed of Xiangjiang TV Station, he was also a little proud of himself.
After all, in this far east, he is so famous, which proves that he is successful.
Why did Stallone come to Xiangjiang?
Without him having to say it out loud, the reporter below guessed it in front of the camera.
"Kilin Group's TV series "Happy Hotel" in North America has exploded in ratings. It has jumped to the second place in North American viewers this month, which has completely stabilized the morale of the military. Also, "Speed of Life" suffered from the disadvantage of insufficient filming and publicity. , "Superman 2", which continues to crush the pride of Americans, has fully proved its strength!
Mr. Stallone, the North American action star, chose to come to Hong Kong at this time, certainly not for vacation, because he is a workaholic. When he came to Xiangjiang, he must have come to meet his boss, Mr. Yin Jun. Jun Shao's United Artists Film Company not only holds the copyright of 007, but also the distribution rights of the "Rocky" series. Although the production power here belongs to Stallone, without Jun Shao's consent, "Rocky" cannot be sold to others. Produced by a film company.
I just don't know if Stallone is here for "Rocky 3", or if he wants to ask Mr. Jun to give him a brand new script? You know, our Young Master Jun is no longer the 'world's number one screenwriter' as we praised him, he is really the world's number one screenwriter now! It is the real pride of us Xiangjiang people! "
This filming video was played on Kylin TV not long after.
Xiangjiang people naturally feel very proud.
Look!
How amazing our young master is! ?
Even Hollywood superstars are coming to visit in person. It’s no longer the time a few months ago when you Americans were clamoring that Disney and United Artists Pictures would be bankrupted!
While everyone was happy in their hearts, they also admired Yin Jun immensely.
After decades of Xiangjiang Film's impact on Hollywood, they already know how difficult it is to make a name for themselves in Hollywood.
Hollywood looks down on all outsiders, even European movies with the same origin, let alone your Xiangjiang entertainment from a remote mountainous area.
Over the past few decades, only Li Xiaolong has gained a firm foothold.
But Li Xiaolong is a Chinese with American nationality, which is very different from Yin Jun's pure Xiangjiang identity.
Yin Junke has never received education from the United States. His success is all the result of education in Chinese culture! !
Now Yin Jun slaps Americans in the face as soon as he takes action in the movies and TV series he is best at. How refreshing, how relieving, and how comfortable it is!
When everyone knew about this, Yin Jun was still busy revising the manuscript of "A Song of Ice and Fire 2" - "Clash of Kings" at home.
He has informed Henry that the novel will be submitted for publication this year. Kant Henry on the other side of the phone almost cried with excitement.
Henry Kant was not afraid of anything else. He was afraid that Yin Jun would suddenly say that he would not write anymore, which would make him want to cry.
Although there is only one copy now, this is the second volume of the best-selling "Song of Ice and Fire" in the world. At least, the status of Henry Publishing House will be stable and it can continue to move forward.
The structure of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is too complex, there are too many characters, and the plot content is too rich.
Although Yin Jun has watched "Game of Thrones" several times, as well as the first six translated "Song of Ice and Fire" movies, he can only restore about 60% of the content of the second movie.
Even for the first "Game of Thrones" that he is most familiar with, Yin Jun only restored about 80% of it, and wrote the rest by himself.
Fortunately, Yin Jun is now very familiar with screenwriting. Returning to Xiangjiang 42 years ago, Yin Jun has written hundreds of scripts in the past three years, and is constantly expanding and filling scripts. Naturally, he has a very generous salary. experience.
It is naturally difficult to write it in the form of a storybook, but it is much simpler to trace the story according to the filmed version.
This is what Yin Jun did in the first "Game of Thrones" of "A Song of Ice and Fire".
Now in the second book "Clash of Kings", Yin Jun has continued this habit.
Because there was a story of his own making from the beginning, Yin Jun also did a good job of checking and filling in the gaps in the second part.
The boy would definitely not dare to say that "Clash of Kings" is comparable to the original work, but the level of 70%-80% can still be achieved.
This is Yin Jun's greatest effort. Fans of the novel who have never read the original version should have no problem watching this version. The first "Game of Thrones" was a hot seller and topped the charts in various countries. prove.
After revising the manuscript, Yin Jun walked out of the study and was going to go for a walk in the manor's garden to stretch his muscles. When he saw him coming out, Song Zili stepped forward and told Yin Jun about Stallone's visit to Xiangjiang.
If they hadn't seen TV, it was said that Stallone might be looking for Yin Jun, and the bodyguards would naturally not be so bored. A mere celebrity would come to Hong Kong to disturb Yin Jun.
They are not all barbarians who only know how to use force. In fact, those who can be arranged by Jing Zhonghong and others to be around Yin Jun, in addition to being loyal, strict in speech, good in martial arts, and able to block guns, can also have good brains and analytical skills. , is also a very important point.
After all, Yin Jun is involved in the lives of tens of thousands of immigrants from the mainland. If something happens to him, it will be a big deal. It is absolutely impossible not to choose the best soldier and king.
Therefore, Yin Jun does not yet have a dedicated personal assistant. In fact, the dozen or so of them also serve as personal assistants.
After hearing the news from Song Zili, Yin Jun nodded slightly.
In Hollywood, you don't have to talk about favors at all.
This is the conclusion that Yin Jun came to after referring to various classic dramas in Hollywood over the past 40 years.
Even if you want to talk about favors, you have to explain the finances and interests clearly before you can talk about favors.
For example, George Lucas and Spielberg talk about business when it’s time to do business, and they don’t have much to say about favors.
After business has been negotiated, only those things that can be discussed can be discussed using favors.
Therefore, when Yin Jun entered Hollywood, he never regarded anyone in Hollywood as one of his own.
Everyone is a business partner, a relationship of employer and employee, and everything else is fake.
Only in Xiangjiang, Baodao, and in these Chinese entertainment circles can Yin Jun truly be emotionally involved.
This is actually quite good.
Anyway, in Hollywood, everything is based on performance and whether everyone can work together to make money, and they don't care about favors.
Americans don't talk to each other, so don't even think about your own domineering attitude, and your younger brothers and sisters will bow to you.
That was basically a dream.
For example, Stallone came here this time.
He can be regarded as the most popular star of United Artists Movies today.
The first "Rocky" in 1976 and the second "Rocky" in 1979 allowed Stallone to completely consolidate his status as an action star.
Although it has not yet reached the first-line position, the rising trend is very obvious.
After United Artists Film Company was acquired by Kirin Group, the first thing Tang Shuxuan did was to find Stallone and want to discuss the production of "Rocky 3" with him.
Because I was thinking at the time that the 007 series must be restarted, but it must not be restarted so easily. It must be fully prepared before doing so.
Only in "Rocky", Stallone wrote the script himself, and then he became the director of the second episode, and the results were still pretty good, so I thought about using this movie to support the show, at least it is above the standard. A good movie, and a successful series.
As a result, Stallone refused to agree at all. He used the reason that he was not feeling well and said that he could not write a good book and could only discuss it later.
Tang Shuxuan didn't understand that this was simply because Stallone didn't think highly of the Kirin Group, and he was afraid that if he made a movie, he would be implicated by Kirin Films and eventually destroy the "Rocky" brand.
From Stallone's point of view, this is understandable, because "Rocky" is the basis of his fame. If it is ruined, it will be really sad.
But as United Artists Film Company, which owns the distribution rights of "Rocky", the company's executives and employees felt a little disgusted.
Damn, you are the star we have promoted. Now that we have changed the boss, we want to get off to a good start, but you actually refuse and are so unwilling to help?
But they had no choice. At that time, the situation was stronger than the people. Several major Hollywood giants were targeting United Artists Films and Disney, and they were also a little worried.
If United Artists Films collapses for the second time, Stallone still has his own "Rocky" to make, but their future is slim!
When "Speed" shockingly defeated "Superman 2", when the ratings of "Happy Hotel" continued to skyrocket, and it gradually gained the potential and momentum to become a miracle drama, then the situation has changed a lot.
At least the people at United Artists Film Company had enough confidence and began to believe that Yin Jun was indeed omnipotent.
They didn't even call Stallone anymore.
When Stallone's agent went to inquire for information, he received only a lukewarm reply.
Moreover, he also received news that the resources of United Artists Film Company have already been tilted towards Bruckheimer's new movie, and they have not discussed the idea of a new movie with Stallone in the short term.
That's why Stallone came to Xiangjiang now.
