Coming out of the restaurant, Huo Jianning endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ah Jun, don't you really think about it too much?" Huo Jianning said, "You said that you came to Xiangjiang and earned more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in more than a year, but now you actually threw out nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars so rashly after only listening to the story, aren't you afraid of losing all your money? Do you know that there are too many movies in Hollywood that have gone home at a loss! Even if it is Lucas and Spielberg, they may not be stable!"

The current Huo Jianning is not the old fox he was decades later, and now he is not so old and sophisticated, so he directly expressed his worries.

Yin Jun nodded slightly in his heart.

If Huo Jianning didn't say anything today, as if Yu hadn't seen or heard, then Yin Jun really had to think about how to use him.

If you can't say it, you have to learn from Li Chaoren like everyone else, and kick him aside when you run out.

He said now, at least he is still kind in his heart and willing to care about the people around him.

"Brother Ning. Yin Jun stopped, "Shall we make a bet?"

"Bet?" Huo Jianning said in surprise.

"Yes, bet. Yin Jun said, "When they told me the storyline just now, you also heard it. Do you think this story will be a hit?"

"It's hard to say. Huo Jianning shook his head.

"Do you think it can make $100 million at the global box office?" Yin Jun asked.

"It's hard to say. ”

"What about $200 million?"

"It's hard. ”

"What about $300 million?"

"Unrealistic. ”

Hearing this answer, Yin Jun said, "Then let's bet like this, if the global box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" does not reach 300 million US dollars, I will buy Brother Ning a house in Taiping Mountain in Xiangjiang, and you can choose the place." If it reaches 300 million US dollars, Brother Ning, you come over and help me for ten years, and after ten years, you decide whether you go or stay. ”

Huo Jianning's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak immediately, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Ah Jun, you are so optimistic about me, do you think I can be worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars?"

"I think Brother Ning, you are more than that. Yin Jun said with a smile, "I'm a person who sees people very accurately, and I don't need to have any achievements as a background, as long as I talk to him, I can roughly know how he behaves." Of course, if you are only talented, I may not be willing to pay such a big price to bet against you...... If you don't say what you just advised me today, we will be at most an employer-employee relationship...... And now, you're my Yin Jun's friend. ”

Huo Jianning smiled unconsciously.

In the smile, there is admiration for Yin Jun.

is worthy of being a genius boy, and there are all kinds of considerations and calculations to do things anytime and anywhere.

Huo Jianning is sure that Yin Jun's main goal this time is to invest in Lucas and Spielberg's new films, but he didn't expect to investigate himself by the way.

In this regard, Huo Jianning was not ashamed at all, but he felt that if the future boss had such a character, then the company's development would definitely not be bad.

The master who takes one step and counts as three steps is born so smart, and he is sophisticated, so he can let others take advantage of him?

If it was according to this idea, Huo Jianning was a little puzzled for a while.

Yin Jun must have thought that Lucas and Spielberg's movie would make a lot of money, but why was he so sure?

Could it be that just because he is the No. 1 screenwriter in Xiangjiang, you can see the excellence of this movie from the script alone?

However, from a script to a movie, there are many steps in between, and if one step doesn't work, then the whole movie will be over.

What kind of factors gave Yin Jun such a strong confidence?

"Because they're Lucas and Spielberg. Yin Jun said, "I write scripts, so naturally I also pay attention to famous screenwriters and directors around the world. I've studied these two people, and in them, there has never been a young and frizzy character, especially Spielberg, who has a very good combination of art and box office, which is why "Jaws" is obviously a slightly scary movie, but in the end it can have so many box office.

If it weren't for a good script, Lucas wouldn't have polished it for so many years, and he wouldn't have gone to Spielberg, who he thought was the best executor, to make a movie. Spielberg is even more critical, if it weren't for a good script, if it wasn't for the script being approved by him, he wouldn't have taken over the job at all, this man who is still young in his bones will not tolerate himself making bad movies to ruin his reputation.

There are risks involved in making films, whether you invest in making a movie or make it yourself. Actually, you're right, this investment is a gamble, but when we gamble, we can keep adding chips to our side, and make our chances of winning better through various judgments, which is all I can do. ”

When Huo Jianning asked, Yin Jun said this to him.

At such a moment, Huo Jianning felt in his heart that it seemed that Yin Jun was not a risk this time, because he thought about it so much and thought so much before he started, and it was not because he admired the two great directors that he was stunned to invest.

In just a few minutes, Yin Jun could think of so much, and he had the courage to go directly to negotiate with the two directors, and successfully persuaded them to hear the complete script story.

With a gold medal screenwriter as talented as Yin Jun, of course he can hear whether this story is good or not, and whether it can make money as a movie, so he made a decisive move.

Of course, Lucas and Spielberg are not afraid that Yin Jun will plagiarize this story in the name of investment, not to mention that this story has already begun to be polished five or six years ago, let's just say that with the status of the two of them in Hollywood, who would dare to plagiarize the works of the two of them? Isn't this looking for death?

"I'm betting with you!" On the way home, Huo Jianning, who had been thinking for a long time, finally made a decision.

But he was not interested in making a tempting bet, but was optimistic about Yin Jun, so he began to bet.

Huo Jianning has already decided, no matter whether Yin Jun wins or not, he will join Yin Jun's company to see how far this young man, who is ten years younger than himself, can go.

If Yin Jun really developed, then as the first person to follow Yin Jun, Huo Jianning was the minister of the dragon, and the benefits he got were absolutely immeasurable.

Even if Yin Jun's final interest is not big, this can be regarded as an experience in Huo Jianning's professional life, and he can also vote for the master again in the future.

"Brother Ning, after forty years, you will feel that this is one of the best decisions in your life. Yin Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, "I welcome you to my company in advance." ”

"Hehe, the winner is not scored, Ah Jun, don't be careless. Huo Jianning shook hands with him and said.

"Well, because there are many unknown factors, I want to ask Brother Ning to do me a favor. Yin Jun said casually.

"You say. ”

"When making a movie, the investor will have a supervisor present who is responsible for the scheduling and use of funds. Yin Jun said, "I believe you also know, although I will invest 10 million US dollars...... Well, it's possible that it's more than $10 million, but it's not going to be given to them all at once, so I need someone I trust to manage this money and oversee Spielberg's filming progress by the way. ”

"You say...... Did I let me go?" Huo Jianning was stunned, "But I don't understand movies!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand movies, as long as you get stuck with the funds, then you can learn and recognize everything. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice: "We will definitely make movies in the future, and you may only have one chance to make movies with a super director like Spielberg, so I hope you can learn more things." ”

"I see. Huo Jianning also simply, he figured out that he wanted to follow Yin Jun to do things, so he wouldn't twist and pinch, and he naturally had to do the best what the boss ordered.

As for such a trivial matter as keeping an eye on the use of money, it is simply not worth mentioning to Huo Jianning, he is a person who has obtained the qualification of an accountant in the United States.

The next moment, Huo Jianning asked again, "Then do I need to have a good relationship with Spielberg and the crew?

Yin Jun was glad that Huo Jianning used the word "we".

He bowed his head and said, "A director like Spielberg, whether he can use it or not, should have a good relationship with him." As for the crew......"

Speaking of this, Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "Forget about the crew, including Harrison Ford, as long as there is contact." ”

Although Harrison Ford is one of the pride of Americans, the advertising effect of this superstar is not so good.

His global influence is far less than that of the governor and the iron-blooded Stallone, perhaps also because during that time, Americans preferred muscular relationships.

For these famous foreign movie stars, Yin Jun is a very practical person, and he is not willing to spend a lot of money to invite big stars to star in his own movies.

Make a classic movie that you wrote, you don't give money to calculate it, and you still want to get a high salary?

Not to mention the salary of Xiangjiang's superstars, which has dragged down the entire Xiangjiang film market, the United States is actually about the same after 2010.

The remuneration dividends of superstars are getting higher and higher, and the cost of the movies they make is getting higher and higher, once the movie is messed up, then it will be a loss of tens of millions of dollars, such a huge loss, even the eight major Hollywood movie giants, they will definitely not be able to bear two or three times.

Fortunately, the United States opened up the Chinese market at that time, and with the world's second largest supermarket, they can be considered to be able to develop more risk-free.

is also for this reason, among the Oriental bad guys in Hollywood, they have directly become North Korea, and they have never dared to speak ill of Huaguo, maybe this is another kind of kneeling and licking.

Why did Xiangjiang movies and Hollywood movies both burn money with a lot of investment, but the last one collapsed, and the other became the world's No. 1?

Very simple.

Because Hollywood has invested more in the cost of filming in the case of high remuneration, it has also increased the cost of filming, which has increased sincerity.

Xiangjiang Film always wants to save money, thinking that I have invested so much salary, and the shooting cost can be saved, anyway, it is all about selling face.

The result is naturally that Hollywood movies with higher costs, more sincerity and more face-selling have won the recognition of fans around the world, while Xiangjiang Films, a model that only sells faces, directly hit the streets, and there is no room for struggle at all.

It is said that it is because it has not caught up with the opening of the mainland film market, but if you look at the opening of the mainland film market, what kind of situation did Xiangjiang films come in?

Except for a few people such as Wang Fatzi, the rest of the movies directed by famous directors in Hong Kong are all street goods, and there is no way to impress mainland audiences at all.

This situation has not changed even in 2020, and with the aging of the golden generation of Xiangjiang directors, it is difficult for new directors to have a box office of hundreds of millions - you must know that at that time, there were not too many mainland movies with a box office of seven or eight billion!

So, no one is stupid, and no one should think about who is stupid.

Doing a good job in movies is the most important thing filmmakers should do. (To be continued.) )
