The "Police Detective School" series is a very good series of movies.

In its previous life, it filmed 7 films in one go, and they were popular, which shows the strength of its vitality.

Although Yin Jun only likes the first or second parts and the last part, in this life, he doesn't mind shooting five or seven parts.

After so many screenwriters and temptations of the market, Yin Jun now understands that whether a series of movies can sell well and whether they can continue to attract audiences does not depend on whether you shoot several films in a row, but whether you have any intentions and new ideas.

Of all 7 "Harry Potter", none of them are pee-spot, they are all so good-looking.

is even better is "The Lord of the Rings", the three are really classics among the classics, and there is nothing superfluous in every shot, which is why Yin Jun likes the "Lord of the Rings" series so much, and he also wonders whether to call Peter Jackson to shoot it.

The same is true of "The Matrix", the brothers simply combine art, philosophy, mystery, and machines...... and other factors have been taken into account to the extreme, so that such a set of movies has almost exhausted all their talents, and they will gradually degenerate into mediocrity in the future.

Of course, there are many more examples of the opposite, almost innumerable.

What "Terminator", "Transformers", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Jurassic Park", etc., are all typical examples of ruining classics.

Obviously, there is an extremely amazing beginning in the front, but the back is inexplicable.

The money was not spent, but he was directly scolded bloody.

These movies about special effects are okay, and they spend so much money on special effects, which will definitely attract many people to watch special effects.

But those movies that win with plot will suffer a lot relatively much, and once the content of your plot is not good, it will be over.

For example, "Wonderful Night at the Museum", "Screaming Laughter", "Ghost Record" and so on are typical examples of this category.

Generally speaking, it is actually the sincerity of the script and production, which determines the quality of a movie and its subsequent development.

The first episode of "Police Inspector School" is how to train police inspectors, and the second part is the various situations full of jokes caused by this group of rookie police inspectors when they officially went on duty on the streets.

The end of the first episode ends with how this group of students successfully graduated.

In the second episode, their story went from school to the workplace, and it was the first time to write such a plot, and the audience was of course full of freshness and always remembered it.

So the film is also usually prone to get more box office results.

As for episodes three, four, five, and six, it is constantly repeating the situation in these various jobs, which is naturally easy for the audience to feel tired.

Only in the last episode of the trip to Moscow, the director and screenwriter played tricks again, which surprised fans again, and thus made the most perfect ending for the series.

At least that's what Yin Jun thought.

Now that it's not time for the next few episodes, Yin Jun only has to think about the current second episode.

Yin Jun only wrote three episodes of the script for "Police and Inspector School", but after the success of "Police and Inspector School" last year, he couldn't help but add another episode in the middle, that is, the episode of the trip to Miami, and by the way, add some episodes of "All Police and Inspectorate" in the fourth episode.

In this era, a four-episode "Police Inspector School" is almost enough.

Considering that the entire filming and release will span six to eight years, it is already a limit for the overall cast and production staff.

It's not like it's 30 years later, it's common to make a sequel every three years, and the actors have long been used to tying it all to a series of movies for a decade or two.

In this way, you can not only get countless praises and salaries, but also think about making new breakthroughs without effort, which is really the best way to eat and wait for death.

But now in 1981, the longest movie Yin Jun has ever seen is this "Police Detective School", and they basically have one episode a year.

This is a good thing for the actors, and they can shoot continuously and continuously.

But such an intensive release is a great test for the enthusiasm of fans, and it is easy to get tired of it.

This is also the reason why 30 years later, the movie is at least one episode in two or three years.

Of course, if you have the ability of "The Lord of the Rings", let alone one episode a year, it is three episodes a year, and each episode can still explode a billion 800 million dollars at the box office.

"Police Patrol School" naturally does not have the charm of "The Lord of the Rings", considering various factors, Yin Juncai did not decide to let "Police Inspector School" be filmed and released this year.

Unexpectedly, Shao Yifu and Wang Jing never forgot it, and finally came to the door.

In their opinion, it should be after getting the script, prepare and plan, and finish filming and release in three or four months at most, so that they can still catch up with the Christmas schedule, and they can earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars casually, how good?

Looking at Wang Jing with an expectant face, Yin Jun asked him, "What are you going to do?"

"After I got the script, I thought about it for a month, trying to understand the script thoroughly. And then during this period, I also contacted the actors and arranged the schedule. If you have a new role to join, I will follow your arrangement, and I will only be in charge of directing. "Fat Wang's attitude is very correct.

"Then do you know how much salary you need to get those actors together?" Yin Jun said.

"Of course I do. Wang Jing nodded, "Rowan Atkinson will cost at least $2 million this time." Eddie Murphy is a little less, and he also needs $1 million. It's just that the two of them have a little more, and the rest, whether it's Matsuda Seiko in Japan, or Lee so-man in South Korea, or Jin Shijie in Baodao, and our actors in Xiangjiang, it's enough for me to give them a 30% increase in salary.

After such a series of calculations, the actor's salary is about 25 million. If it is still according to the proportion of the last investment, it should be less than one-third of the whole. The cost of control in this way is quite acceptable. The remaining 35 million Hong Kong dollars for filming is more than enough in Xiangjiang. We're telling stories, not special effects. ”

Yin Jun nodded, but shook his head again: "You are very accurate in calculating the rest, but Rowan Atkinson's salary may be more than that, I estimate that this time it will cost 3 million US dollars to hire him." ”

"Why? 2 million is not enough?" Wang Jing said in surprise, "The second-rate stars in the United States are at this price, and the salaries of British stars are much lower than this!

"But they don't think so. Yin Jun recalled what Skade had talked about on the phone before, "Rowan Atkinson's performance in "Police School" is very outstanding, and the European box office is so good, he owes at least one-third of his credit. That's why they want to get paid a lot. ”

"How can people do this? After making money last time, we gave them dividends, right? I didn't have any dividends, and they still got them!" Wang Jing said angrily.

Last time, Wang Jing revealed the news of "Police Investigation School" to Shao Yifu, so Yin Jun only gave him a salary of hundreds of thousands of directors, and the dividends were canceled for him, and as a result, Wang Jing lost several millions, which made him really distressed.

The budget of 1 million US dollars is increased, that is, the shooting cost of nearly 5 million Hong Kong dollars has been cut, which is a large amount! Inspired by "Life and Death", he also wants to shoot a little more detailed!

Where Wang Jing is angry happens to be an important reason why the cost of super big productions in the United States is getting higher and higher in the future, and he is more and more afraid to start shooting.

After the actors became popular, they had to increase their salaries at every turn, and in the end, they had to pay tens of millions of dollars alone, plus production costs, at least two or three hundred million to be able to fight, and they had to pay more than $1 billion to return to their original costs, which was a bad thing for Hollywood producers and companies.

Therefore, if it is not too promising, usually they would rather not think about this money-making sequel than reboot the series.

After working for a long time, I asked the actor to earn the money, but I haven't earned it myself, so what is it?

Only a film series with a strong ability to attract money can make production companies continue to make concessions and increase budgets.

For example, in "Avengers 3", the actors' salaries are 200 million US dollars, of which Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. alone took 100 million US dollars, and the entire production cost is as high as 500 million US dollars, which is really scary!

After his thoughts turned, Yin Jun smiled and said, "It's up to you to figure out your own way." If you can convince him to accept the dividend, that's fine. ”

"I'm going to say?" Wang Jing was stunned, "Isn't it Jun Shao, you're going?"

"Since you're going to do this set, you have to take on more responsibility. Yin Jun said solemnly: "Unless you don't want to do it again." ”

Wang Jingqian's spirit perked up, "Junshao, can I be a director, and then serve as a producer?"

The last time Wang Jing filmed "Police Investigation School", the nominal producer was Yin Jun, and then the overall style was also grasped by Yin Jun.

For Yin Jun, Wang Jing is still very convinced, but if he can grasp the power, it will definitely be a good thing!

"You try to do an episode first, and I'll just watch your editing at the end. Yin Jun said, "But you have to be clear, if you don't do it well this time, then there will be no future!"

"Don't worry!!" Wang Jing hurriedly promised, "I will do my best to do a good job!!"

After a pause, he immediately said: "I will go to negotiate with them immediately, give the whole thing, and ensure that there will be no mistakes!"

"Good!"

Yin Jun groaned, "But I still have one more request. ”

"You say!"

"Let's release it again next summer!"

"No problem...... Uh......" Wang Jing was stunned, "Can it take so long?"

"First, you need to prepare well, and secondly, the interval is too short, which is not good for the series of movies, whether it is the box office or word of mouth, it is not good. Yin Jun said, "If you want to make a movie, especially a film for the world, you must be meticulous and serious, this is to earn face for Xiangjiang Films, not to blindly do it quickly and make money, you know?"

"I see. ”

Wang Jing saw Yin Jun's insistence, so he could only agree.

Anyway, with Yin Jun in front, whether it is Shao Yifu or Zou Wenhuai, there is no complaint to say.

"Oh, by the way, let's still take the last way of cooperation, right?" Wang Jing said cautiously, "The three companies do it together?"

Originally, he was very confident, and it was Shao Yifu who asked him to come over and ask for the script.

But seeing Yin Jun's current attitude, he suddenly felt a little worried that Yin Jun would do it by himself and not take the other two companies to play.

The copyright of this "Police Investigation School" is all in the hands of Yin Jun!

is such a lucrative movie, and if another person comes to it, things are really not necessarily.

"It's business as usual. Yin Jun replied naturally.

"Okay!"

Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Jun Shao is also very particular about thinking about it, since he has already started to cooperate, he can't do it with his personality if he puts aside the matter of his partner halfway.

That's good, I can finally make a difference!
