Chapter 946 Attitude
As mentioned before, Yin Jun's attitude towards Hollywood is just a working relationship.
Therefore, Stallone's move is understandable in Yin Jun's opinion.
But this does not prevent Yin Jun from being a little disappointed with Stallone. After all, when he first watched Stallone's "Rambo 3", the scene of his life-and-death struggle with the Soviet army was so cool.
Stallone is also an actor that Yin Jun admires very much. Now it is the first time to cooperate with each other, but it is like this. I think that in the future, both sides will have a thorn in their hearts, and it will be difficult to regain the tacit understanding of previous cooperation.
Of course, this is also the norm for cooperation between Hollywood stars and film companies.
Very rarely does anything start well and end well.
Profit-seeking film companies will not support useless people, and stars will also look for companies that can give them better conditions.
Even Spielberg, who is known as Universal’s talisman, has worked with all seven major Hollywood actors, hasn’t he?
Moreover, the rate of falling out between Hollywood actors and production companies is definitely ten times higher than that in Hong Kong.
If Yin Jun really wants to use his emotions to restrain them, he will definitely end up being cheated miserably and being laughed at for nothing.
Therefore, Juvenile only offers two types of contracts to actors in his company.
The first is to sign a film contract for 15 years.
The second type is a contract for 10 films in 20 years.
Whichever you choose, there is no third.
As for the staff behind the scenes, Yin Jun also spoke with big contracts.
I will give you enough salary, but you must sign a work contract for at least 10 to 20 years.
For the staff behind the scenes, this is something they like very much. They are not as good at tossing things as celebrities, and they have no intention of changing jobs all day long.
As long as the company's performance is good and the salary and bonuses can keep up, Americans don't like to move.
Stallone was not a contracted star of Yin Jun's company before, but just a free movie star. But this time, Yin Jun began to plan to turn him into a contracted star.
If nothing else, Stallone has a lot of classic movies.
If he is not willing to join the Qilin Group, then Yin Jun will definitely not give him these movies.
But if it were given to other people, Yin Jun felt that it didn't have the flavor of the original work.
Just like "Terminator", if there is no truck driver, if there is no Schwarzenegger, what kind of classic among classics would this be?
This time, Stallone came to Xiangjiang in person without sending his agent. It actually represented a signal, a signal that he had surrendered.
I didn't give you face before, but now I've come to Xiangjiang to pay you a visit, so please forgive me! I'm still willing to distribute movies with you.
After thinking about this, Yin Jun said to Song Zili: "Brother Li, go and make arrangements. Tonight, book a private room at Fulinmen, and I will go and meet this kung fu superstar."
"good!"
Song Zili nodded and went.
Yin Jun turned around and saw the disdain on Cao Jun's face, and was startled, "Brother Jun, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, Mr. Jun." Cao Jun shrugged, "This American guy is, at best, a star in the entertainment industry who can do fancy boxing. How can he be called a kung fu superstar? As long as you let us fight together, I can finish him off in less than three minutes."
"This is different. How many people who make movies have time to devote themselves to practicing martial arts?" Yin Jun smiled, "For example, Cheng Long is hard enough, right? But his kung fu is just too showy! But others are still the same. Call him a kung fu superstar.”
Cai Huzhu next to him nodded, "So among the Kung Fu superstars, we only admire Li Xiaolong. That is real Kung Fu."
"What will happen if Li Xiaolong fights to the death with you?" Yin Jun became interested.
"Within three meters, I'm afraid we can't do it." Another bodyguard, Shen Jianshe, said, "But once we pull away five meters, he can't do it... because we have guns."
Yin Jun was speechless: "Brother Jian, can you have some backbone, okay? 'We have guns', is this what a martial arts practitioner like you should say?"
Shen Jianshe also grinned, scratched his head and said: "I'm talking about the process of protecting you, Mr. Jun... But if it were just us, I'm afraid it would take at least three people and pay a heavy price to capture him. "
The young man tilted his head slightly.
How to capture him and what a heavy price to pay, he won't get to the bottom of it.
Li Xiaolong is known as Li Sanji, and he is not easy to win. And the spirit of sacrifice here is enough. I am afraid that it is more likely that they will die together.
But this is just a hypothesis. After Li Xiaolong, few people in Xiangjiang or elsewhere are willing to truly devote themselves to practicing martial arts.
Even the Wing Chun master Zeng Chi Tan, who was later praised as a god, was definitely not a showman when he won the National Martial Arts Championship. But compared with any bodyguard around Yin Jun, he would end up with the same end - finished. .
…
Since the closure of Da San Yuan, Fulinmen has now become the signature of high-end catering in Hong Kong.
If Yin Jun entertains any guests and wants them to eat some Cantonese food, then he will bring them here.
As for Yin Jun's own taste, he found that although he couldn't eat spicy food very well, compared to these Xiangjiang people, he was very good at it.
So if he went to eat, he would rather eat in Sichuan and Hunan restaurants.
However, the chef Chen Ende, who I met when I was in college, is now in charge of the food at Fulinmen. He is ranked among the most advanced chefs under several senior chefs.
Every time he saw Yin Jun come over for dinner, he would come and serve it himself. After a few times, he got to know Yin Jun's taste, and would specially cook one or two Hunan and Sichuan dishes that Yin Jun liked to eat, and serve them to Yin Jun. Regardless of Yin Jun’s point or not.
Now Yin Jun has recognized who this brother is.
There is a chef named Chen Ende who has worked in both Tai San Yuan and Fook Lam Moon. Besides Chen Ende, the only Chinese ace chef with three Michelin stars in Hong Kong, who else is there?
But it doesn't matter, even if he is a three-star Michelin chef, he is just the same here.
In comparison, Yin Jun felt closer to the honest and honest Brother De.
This time when I came here, there were many guests outside. Brother De was busy in the kitchen, so Yin Jun went directly into the private room without chatting with him.
Of course, Fulinmen is known as the rich canteen, and there are still many rich people here. Many people take the initiative to say hello to Yin Jun, regardless of whether Yin Jun knows them or not.
The young man is also upright. Regardless of whether he knows someone or not, he just nods and says hello.
Entering the box, Stallone was staring at the Cantonese cuisine poster in the room, as if he wanted to get some inspiration from it.
There is no denying that Stallone is a very talented filmmaker.
Not everyone can write their own script and then perform the play well.
Not everyone can restart a series in their fifties or sixties, after the sun has set, and achieve great success.
So if he is used well, Qilin Movie will have a great general.
In his thoughts, Stallone heard the voice. After seeing Yin Jun, he quickly stood up with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yin Jun?"
"I'm Yin Jun, hello Mr. Stallone." Yin Jun smiled and shook hands with him, "Welcome to Xiangjiang, please take a seat!"
Stallone is not tall, only 178 centimeters, which is relatively short compared to Americans.
Yin Jun's height has soared in recent years, and now he is 175 centimeters tall at the age of 19. At this rate, it is estimated that 180 centimeters will not be a problem at all.
In his previous life, the boy was only 173 centimeters tall. The difference between the two made Yin Jun very satisfied.
Before sitting down, Stallone glanced at the two bodyguards who closed the door and left after glancing at him. He was smart enough to say nothing.
Before the dishes were served, Stallone said to Yin Jun: "Mr. Yin, the reason why I came to Xiangjiang this time is..."
"Mr. Stallone, I think we can have something to eat before we talk about business, what do you think?" Yin Jun interrupted him and said with a smile: "Xiangjiang is very famous for its delicious food."
"good!"
Stallone was stunned for a moment, and then showed an awkward smile.
Yin Jun wanted to tell him that you wouldn't laugh, so he might as well stop laughing, but this would be too embarrassing, so the boy would naturally not say it.
This was Yin Jun's deliberate interruption, to let Stallone understand who had the initiative now and to give him a try.
Stallone was very smart and understood what Yin Jun meant, but he didn't show it at all.
During the next meal, he praised Xiangjiang's delicious dishes and said nothing except asking about and discussing the food.
He also finished all the dishes, including the duck intestines with hairy belly and blood that Chen Ende made for Yin Jun. He even drank the soup without shouting that it was spicy, which impressed Yin Jun. .
Whether Stallone really likes it or is just acting, this attitude shows that he is very sincere.
Coming to Xiangjiang to talk in person is an aspect of sincerity.
He deliberately kept a low profile in front of Yin Jun and showed humility. This was another sign of sincerity.
Yin Jun has never been a person who holds grudges. Now that Stallone has shown his willingness to get closer, Yin Jun absolutely does not want to push him away.
If Qilin Movies wants to make a name for itself in Hollywood, it certainly cannot rely solely on actors from Hong Kong. It must have representative movie stars from North America to better unite the brand of Qilin Movies.
Schwarzenegger is a signature, and Stallone, who is already very famous, why can't he become the second signature?
Even though Stallone is already 35 years old, according to his physical condition, there will be no problem at all if he fights at high intensity for another 10 years and at normal intensity for 20 years.
Although Stallone is not a prolific actor, that was in his previous life.
In this life, Yin Jun has plenty of movies for him to shoot!
