Chapter 949 The First Step in Discovering Future Superstars

Because of Yin Jun's appearance, many things have changed.

For example, "007: Top Secret," the 12th 007 movie that was supposed to be released in June this year, didn't even have a shooting plan.

In the previous life, "007: Top Secret" was produced around November 1980, and was released in June of the following year.

But in this life in November 1980, for some reason, the struggling United Artists Film Company did not approve the project of "007: Top Secret".

When we entered into acquisition negotiations later, no one cared about it.

So after the Kirin Group completely took over United Artists Film Company in March, many people were speculating that their first big move would definitely be to restart the 007 series.

That is to say, the production of "007: Top Secret".

But no one expected that Yin Jun did not do this. Instead, he made a movie in Xiangjiang as the launch of the new United Artists Film Company.

If "Speed" had not been released in July instead of "007: Top Secret", Warner Bros. might not have had the intention to touch 007 with its own "Superman 2".

This is an obvious thing.

Both films are the trump cards of the other company, and both have deep fan bases.

Ace versus ace, both sides are destined to lose.

Warner Bros. would not engage in such a loss-making business, and only movies like "Speed" that were shot by and starring Hong Kong people would feel like a soft persimmon and want to pinch it.

As a result, he was slapped in the face so badly.

However, what they said is also a fact.

As the largest copyright asset of United Artists Film Company, 007 is definitely the most important.

Since the first "Dr. 007" in 1962, the 007 series has become popular all over the world and has won the love of countless people. The box office is still very high, and it has earned both fame and fortune.

At that time, the famous movie star Sean Connery starred in the first 007.

He also played 007 vividly, making people feel that he is 007 and 007 is him.

Sean Connery is also known as the "handsome British gentleman" because of this, and as he gets older, he is also known as "the most handsome old guy in history". This is all brought to him by 007.

In reality?

Sean Connery is a villain.

Alcoholism, domestic violence, rudeness, disrespect, and other shortcomings are all present in him. He is not a good person at all.

It's just that his agent packaged him well, and he can also act outside, so he has been doing well in Hollywood.

But Yin Jun doesn't want to deal with this kind of person.

You are already famous, you have a bad temper, and you still don’t know how to control yourself. Who knows what trouble you will cause to the company?

Relatively speaking, the third 007, Roger Moore, is very good.

He is relatively humble and low-key, and he works hard without complaining. The key is that he is very popular with the audience... Well, I am talking about the box office here, and it is definitely not word-of-mouth.

Even though Roger Moore is also British and has worked in intelligence, when he plays the role, there is no seriousness at all.

To use the vocabulary of the future Internet to describe it, Roger Moore is a funny man.

His version of 007 is known as the "least serious", "funniest" and "cheesiest" 007.

Film critics and awards do not like Roger Moore's performance, but the box office of Roger Moore's 007 movies has always been very high, even higher than Sean Connery's.

Otherwise, Roger Moore would not be the same as Sean Connery, who starred in a total of 7 films and became the actor with the most 007.

Yin Jun was also very unaccustomed to Roger Moore's acting style. He had watched it once in his previous life, and when he returned to Xiangjiang in this life, he also watched the video tape again, but he still didn't like it very much.

It's no wonder that the 007 that Yin Jun first came into contact with was actually Pierce Brosnan's version. The chic, elegant and violent 007 was naturally Yin Jun's favorite version.

So much so that Yin Jun couldn't stand the later version of Daniel Craig.

Therefore, regarding the role of 007, Yin Jun originally planned to go to Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce Brosnan, who was born in 1953, is now 28 years old. According to the normal trajectory, he should come to the United States next year to develop.

Even if Yin Jun is impatient, he can still be found through his acquaintances in England.

If he heard that he was cast as 007, how could Pierce Brosnan not run as fast as he could?

However, after Yin Jun carefully considered it, he gave up the idea.

The reason is very simple. Everyone is already used to the 007 version of Roger Moore in his prime. If you let an Irish actor with no foundation in the United States to play 007, no matter how good his appearance is, the audience will definitely be disappointed. I won't get used to it.

If this happens in the future, when the Qilin movie is already strong enough, there will be no problem. There will be plenty of time for Pierce Brosnan to prove himself.

But now is the initial stage when Qilin Films takes over Disney and United Artists Films. It needs a large number of successful movies to stabilize its position and lay a foundation. It must not challenge the preferences of the audience in this way.

Besides, Roger Moore has made no mistakes and has been working conscientiously in movies. You suddenly replaced him without saying anything. That just gave the six giants of Hollywood a knife, allowing them to attack Qilin wantonly. group.

This is very bad for Yin Jun's entire Hollywood strategy.

Pierce Brosnan, I remember that after he came to the United States, he first filmed a detective TV series, and then he won the love of the audience and laid the foundation.

There's no need to worry about Yin Jun. You can either wait for him to work on his own for a few years and make a TV series before recruiting him, or you can just recruit him directly and give him a role in a detective TV series.

Anyway, Yin Jun has a lot of detective TV series scripts in his hands.

Looking back, since the actor who plays 007 cannot be changed, Yin Jun plans to dig another future superstar.

Well, a true Hollywood superstar!

Regardless of his character, acting skills, talent, etc., he is a very good superstar.

He also almost set a record of winning the Best Actor Oscar three times in a row.

correct.

That's Tom Hanks, one of the best actors in Hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s.

In fact, you can basically omit even one of them.

If you want to talk about an actor, if he has been acting for ten or eight years, then people may not be able to tell.

But Yin Jun is a person who has experienced the next 40 years or so. If 40 years can make a villain behave like a gentle gentleman, then Yin Jun will admit it even if it is a slap in the face.

If you meet such a genius, what can you do if you don't recognize him?

Tom Hanks is a good actor who has gone through such a long period of hard work, so Yin Jun wants to recruit him.

If nothing else, at least two or three Oscar winners, Tom Hanks will definitely be able to help Kirin Film Company get it.

Then Tom Hanks also has a strong appeal at the box office.

Needless to say, "Forrest Gump", not to mention "Saving Private Rain", needless to say "The Da Vinci Code", even "Cast Away", which he performed by himself, was performed by himself , can achieve super high box office, this is really a box office influence that cannot be said.

Do you think Yin Jun is willing to have a superstar who can make money, win awards, and never cause you any trouble?

Tom Hanks is no longer young now.

He was born in 1956. He is 25 years old this year. In terms of Hollywood, he cannot be regarded as a new generation actor.

Tom Hanks did not graduate from a prestigious school. The film department of the University of Southern California has little to do with him. In fact, he only attended a two-year community college.

All his performances come from his self-study and talent. Sometimes you have to admire the geniuses created by God, they are so different.

Yin Jun watched a movie starring Tom Hanks last year called "Blood Red Splattered White Veil". This should be his first Hollywood work.

The boy traveled to Xiangjiang more than 40 years ago, and he did more than just work behind closed doors and carry the classics from his past life.

Absorbing the knowledge and nutrition of this era and constantly creating works that fit this era is what Yin Jun has been working hard to do.

Otherwise, any excellent work that is divorced from the background of this era will inevitably fail miserably.

Therefore, Yin Jun specially sent people to the United States and Europe to collect movies, TV series, variety shows, novels, etc. for him and bring them back to read.

Well, watching European literary films is definitely a test for Yin Jun, but in order to see more about European shooting methods, framing advantages, etc., Yin Jun can only hold his nose and watch it.

European novels are very good. Compared with the dumb and crude American novels, European novels are fresher and more comfortable to read. What I brought back was the original version, which made Yin Jun unable to read it for a month. Ben – There is still so much to do after all.

This is how this first work of Tom Hanks appeared in Yin Jun's vision.

At that time, Yin Jun did not have a Hollywood film company, but now that he has one, he can start recruiting.

Today's Tom Hanks is not the super star he will be 20 years later. He is just an ordinary little actor and does not have that much social experience, so it should not be difficult to poach him.

Especially now that Disney TV Channel has proved its strength with "Happy Hotel" and United Artists Movies has proved its strength with "Speed", everyone will have more confidence in the Kirin Group, and those actors who hope to get more development will not be so concerns joined in.

It’s just that Tom Hanks is not a second-tier star like Stallone, nor is he a bodybuilding champion like Schwarzenegger who has a great girlfriend’s background. He is just a small actor. Yin Jun still has to ask the people who recruit him to pay attention to the rules and don’t give Offering too many good conditions actually frightened him.

You must understand that too much is not enough!
