After eating, it happened that Chen Ende finished cooking, came over to deliver a pot of tea, and saw that there were still guests, so he chatted with Yin Jun and left.

"Mr. Yin, I have heard of a rule. Stallone drank the tea that Yin Jun poured for him, and said with a smile: "Any well-educated and decent gentleman will generally have a good relationship with the chef who is familiar with the restaurant." ”

"Really?" Yin Jun also smiled, "I don't know. ”

"Many of Hollywood's giants have their own fixed locations in familiar restaurants, and those Michelin chefs are also willing to give them special treatment to enhance the style and grade of their restaurants. It's also an important means for them to make a name for themselves," Stallone said, "When I wasn't famous, a Spanish restaurant at the bottom of Beverly Hills turned me into a common person, even if I had worked hard enough to save enough money to go to a meal." ”

Yin Jun bowed slightly.

Stallone was also born as a bitter child, his parents divorced when he was a child, and he followed his mother when he was a little older.

Then I also went to a "special re-education school" similar to Huaguo, that is, it was full of naughty children who needed to be disciplined harshly, but there was definitely no such thing as electric shock therapy.

When he grew up, he studied theater acting at the University of Miami, but he failed to graduate, but when he returned home, he was encouraged by his mother to do what he loved, so he worked hard to write scripts while working part-time.

There have been many failures and setbacks during this period, but Stallone has not given up.

Finally, 6 years later, he became famous all over the world through a movie called "Rocky" and achieved the success he dreamed of.

His experience is completely an inspirational history, exactly the same as Schwarzenegger's.

In fact, in that era, whether in the East or the West, these stars were able to succeed through very hard work, so they knew how to cherish it, so they could be prosperous for a long time.

It's not like those modern little fresh meat little flowers who suddenly became famous overnight, and when they became famous, they didn't know anything about their surname, and then they collapsed after a little setback, and finally disappeared without a trace.

This matter is the same in Europe, the United States and China.

Yin Jun likes this kind of down-to-earth star who knows that he takes his work seriously, the kind of person who becomes popular just by virtue of his inexplicable popularity, and he has always been insensitive to him.

In his thoughts, Stallone continued to speak: "After my "Rocky" sold for $260 million, I went there again. Dressed in my best suit. When they saw me, they respectfully invited me in, and I stood at the doorway and smiled, turned around and left...... I still remember the look on the face of the restaurant manager who had just been driven out of the car window...... Haha......"

He was laughing when he spoke, but his expression was still stiff, and there was no smile in his tone.

On the contrary, Yin Jun also sensed a trace of sadness.

"So I'm a person who used to be poor and unlucky. After becoming famous, no matter what I do, I am very cautious and never dare to be sloppy. Stallone finally got to the point, "To tell you the truth, in May this year, when President Tang approached me and wanted me to make "Rocky 3", I was really afraid, afraid that Lianyi Films would repeat the mistakes of the past again, because everyone knows that this time the difficulties are even greater, and the six giants are waiting there!"

I have to be responsible for myself, for my film career, so I think about it a little bit longer and think a little bit more. But I didn't expect that Lianyi would be able to win such a beautiful battle, and the hard-hitting "Superman 2" was done! I also watched "Speed of Life and Death" twice, Mr. Yin, you really did a good job!"

As he spoke, Stallone gave a thumbs up.

Regardless of whether he was a sycophant or not, Yin Jun smiled and said, "Do you still want to say that if you are the protagonist, you may be able to perform better?"

"No, no!" Stallone shook his hand, "Christian is excellent, very neat and handsome, completely different from me. He acted well in this movie, and you choose better. I'm looking forward to working with him in the future!"

Christian is Fei Xiang's English name, and his full name is Christian Lande Phillips, which is a serious American name, and Fei Xiang is even an American citizen.

Now that there is a credit list for "Speed of Life and Death", everyone knows that he is originally an American, so he is naturally very close, perhaps this is one of the reasons why "Speed of Life and Death" exploded "Superman 2" from the second week.

"As long as you are acting in kung fu movies, you will have a day of cooperation. Yin Jun nodded.

At this time, he thought of "The Expendables", a domineering and good-looking movie series, which is definitely a classic, and it is a big hit, which makes the box office reputation burst, which can be regarded as Stallone's greatest contribution in the late stage of his film career!

"I came to Xiangjiang this time, first, I am going to propose to Mr. Yin that we continue to cooperate, so that Lianyi Film Company can continue to help me produce and distribute "Rocky 3", and there is another request......" Stallone looked at Yin Jun intently, and said sincerely, "Please write me a script! I look forward to reaching a higher level with your support!"

"There is no problem with "Rocky 3", and it is normal to want to climb up. But ......" Yin Jun paused and looked back: "Mr. Stallone, why did I give you a notebook?"

"Yes, I know you're not short of money, and you don't need to rely on me to make a name for yourself. "But I'm also very sincere." I know that you signed a contract with Arnold Schwarzenegger for 20 years and 10 films, and I am willing to sign a contract with you for 10 years and five films, and the terms are not very good, as long as you let me act in the movies heartily. ”

Stallone's words were carefully and repeatedly considered and polished on the plane when he came.

In fact, everyone doesn't know that one of the very important reasons why Stallone rushed to Xiangjiang in such a hurry is that on July 31, after the release of the movie "Victory Escape" that he starred in and led, the box office only collected more than 20 million in the first weekend plus the second week, which greatly hit Stallone.

The cost of "Victory Escape" is not high, about 10 million, and the cost of publicity and distribution is only 13 million.

According to the current box office, at least 6 weeks later, it should be able to reach a life and death line of about 40 million US dollars.

And because of the addition of well-known stars such as Pele, its box office overseas, especially in Europe and South America, will definitely not be bad, allowing the film company to earn one or two million.

But is that enough?

He's Stallone!

He is a Hollywood upstart who has earned more than $400 million with "Rocky 1" and "Rocky 2"!

I have to rely on football stars to make money in a movie, what is this like?

I'm not convinced!

I won't be convinced!!

The reason why Stallone was not convinced was actually very simple, because he hit the muzzle of the gun.

originally thought that "Speed of Life and Death" and "Superman 2" had been screened for three weeks, and there should not be much momentum, so this schedule on July 31 is very good.

But I never expected that "Superman 2" was completely down, but "Speed of Life and Death" didn't, and it still took almost 20 million in the fourth week!

What is the equivalent of?

It is equivalent to giving "The Great Escape" a hard kick in the first weekend of "The Great Escape", which is the most box office time, so that it only won more than 14 million in the first weekend!

Otherwise, according to the predictions of Stallone and the production company and distribution company, it will be at least more than 25 million US dollars in the first weekend!

The movie produced by Yin Jun can maintain a box office of about 20 million US dollars in the fourth week, which is really terrifying!

That's strength!

This is the strength that makes people have to be convinced!

Look at the previously boasted "Superman 2", it didn't even have 10 million in the fourth week, which is more than half of "Speed of Life and Death", and the total box office is almost invisible to the tail of "Speed of Life and Death"!

It was precisely after seeing the power of the script created by Yin Jun, and remembering that the "." that was a big hit in June this year was also Yin Jun's script, Stallone finally made up his mind and came over to admit defeat and surrender.

The idea he said about 5 movies in 10 years is the same as what Maria said to Schwarzenegger, I will make more than 5 movies in 10 years, as long as fame comes, the rest of the time, I will make a few more movies, won't I come back with everything?

But then again, with Stallone's current star path and his status, 5 movies in 10 years are definitely not cheating and cheating, but very sincere.

However, Yin Jun was unmoved, and after slowly taking a few sips of tea, he said: "If you are a film actor with great development potential, my principle is to make 10 movies in 20 years, and this will not change for the time being." ”

Stallone smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yin, I'm 35 years old! 10 years later, 45 years old, how many years can I play?"

"A good actor doesn't care about age, the older he gets, the more mellow it is like stored old wine. Yin Jun said, "Mr. Stallone, I am very optimistic about you, so I invited you to come over and talk today...... If you think my conditions are too harsh, you might as well wait until next year's "Terminator" to see what Mr. Schwarzenegger has accomplished. ”

Stallone's pupils constricted: "You mean...... Can he become famous?"

"In my heart, in the next 20 years, the two of you will be representatives of North American tough guy movies. Yin Jun said, "As long as you sign a contract with me, I guarantee that you will become a world-famous superstar like him!"

Yin Jun spoke in some order, which seemed to be wrong.

He put Schwarzenegger in the front and Stallone in the back, but now it is clear that Stallone is much more famous than the bodybuilding champion.

However, Yin Jun is not wrong, in the future superstar sequence, Schwarzenegger is really ahead of Stallone, not only because he has a good wife, but also because he is the favorite general of the truck driver!

But Stallone didn't care, his mind was all in the meaning of Yin Jun's words.

Superstar!?

How confident he is!

To be honest, Stallone has "Rocky" as a foundation, and he doesn't have to worry about it in his life.

In the future, he will shoot a "Rocky" every two or three years, and occasionally shoot some other films, which is enough for him to live comfortably.

But if there is no pursuit in a person's life, isn't it the same as a salted fish?

Who wouldn't want to be the most famous superstar in the world and be loved by thousands of fans?

Stallone vaguely knew that he had encountered a bottleneck, and he came to Xiangjiang this time to see if there was such an opportunity to open the bottleneck!

Now, when the opportunity came, he really hesitated in his heart.

10 movies in 20 years!

Yin Jun is going to tie me to the boat of Lianyi Films!

The question is, should I get on this ship or not?!
