Chapter 295: An Unexpected Encounter (Third Update!Ask for Subscription!)
The process of going to the audition with the old lady looked a little complicated on the surface, and after a lot of questions and answers and considerations, it was finally decided to let Teresa Teng play the role. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although it was a little apprehensive, such a result also made the old lady happy, because her son had already confirmed that the two who appeared were the two great directors in the United States, and there was no fake.
Thinking that her daughter will soon become a movie star, become famous, and earn more money, the old lady is very comfortable.
It's not that she doesn't like her daughter, but her daughter always wants to get married, and if she marries, she will no longer be a member of the Deng family, so she wants to let her contribute a little more to the four sons of the Deng family before her daughter gets married.
By the way, the old man is not angry, he loses once in business, and he doesn't make any money, and his sons don't have much competition, and the old couple's pension money has to be earned by their daughters.
Therefore, the old lady wants Deng Lijun to earn more money when she is young and not yet married, so that she will not raise her daughter in vain.
But she didn't expect that Deng Lijun had been performing since she was a child, and she was doing her best to support her family at the age of 9.
After a few people came out of Lucas's office, Deng Chang liked to shout happily that he wanted to eat a lobster dinner, and the old lady agreed with a smile on her face.
But before they could call a car to the restaurant, a voice greeted them loudly.
"Ah Jun!!"
As soon as Yin Jun turned around, he saw Cheng Long's big face.
Then Yin Juncai saw Zou Wenhuai not far from Cheng Long.
Jackie Chan is wearing a suit today, to be honest, it is not at all as good as the Tang costume that Uncle Long has worn in public since 2006, which is called a handsome.
Yin Jun smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Long, Mr. Zou, why are you here?"
"We came over to visit some Hollywood people. Cheng Long has always had a big mouth, so he directly said his intention, and then asked, "What about you?...... Oh, it's ...... Miss Deng!?"
Teresa Teng also turned her head at this time, she also wanted to watch a movie, so she naturally knew this new movie star.
Seeing that he was very familiar with Yin Jun, Deng Lijun also nodded to him, even if he said hello.
Looking at Deng Lijun's performance, Yin Jun was very satisfied, if it was in his previous life, Deng Lijun met Cheng Long, who was also in the entertainment industry, in another country, but he was more enthusiastic, and then he became acquainted.
Now that Yin Jun has appeared by Deng Lijun's side, of course she will not be so enthusiastic about other men.
Cheng was amazed when he saw Deng Lijun without makeup, but when he thought that she and Yin Jun walked out together, he had more eyes and said in Chinese: "Hehe, Ah Jun, are you with Miss Deng?"
"Yes. ”
It was the old lady who answered.
How poisonous her eyes are.
Seeing that Cheng Long's eyes were a little wrong when he looked at his daughter, he immediately came out to block it.
And the key thing is that there is the best shield in front of him, "Ah Jun is my daughter's good friend, and I just helped my daughter get a female No. 2 role from the big director!"
"Mom?"
Deng Lijun looked at the old lady in a little surprise, thinking to herself, what are you showing off to an outsider?
It happened that Zou Wenhuai also came over, and when he heard this, he immediately reflexively said: "Great director, which big director?"
"Isn't it the one upstairs...... What......" The old lady looked at her son, she couldn't figure out about such a long list of names on a foreigner.
"Director Lucas, Director Spielberg, $30 million super production!!" Deng Changxi proudly said for his mother.
Deng Lijun couldn't help but want to pat her forehead, why are two of them like this?
Zou Wenhuai didn't think they were strange, his spirits perked up, and his eyes looked at Yin Jun with extremely enthusiastic eyes, "Ah Jun, do you know Director Lucas and Director Spielberg?"
"Recognize. Yin Jun nodded slightly.
Don't look at the young man who is very light now, but he smiled in his heart.
Although Yin Jun doesn't like that kind of flamboyant person, this time he has to give the mother and son a thumbs up.
You guys have said everything I want to scare Cheng Long away, what a good assist!
As a result, Yin Jun also underestimated the old lady, as if she felt that the effect was not up to expectations, and she said directly: "Among them, 20 million US dollars was invested by Ah Jun! He is a good friend of my daughter!"
"What!?"
This time, Cheng Long and Zou Wenhuai were together, their faces changed greatly, and they gasped.
Unlike Cheng Long's envious and surprised eyes, Zou Wenhuai's eyes were much more solemn.
"Ah Jun, do you have time, let's have a cup of tea together?" Zou Wenhuai immediately sent out an invitation.
Yin Jun looked at Deng Lijun's side, she smiled sweetly at Yin Jun, "I'll go home first, call me!"
In this way, it is like a gentle little wife.
"Good!"
Yin Jun went over and called a taxi for them, and after seeing them leave, he turned back.
Zou Wenhuai also knew that this was not a good time to speak, so he walked to McDonald's across the street with Yin Jun, and asked Cheng Long to order a bunch of things to eat and drink, so he couldn't wait to ask.
"Ah Jun, what the old lady said just now is true? You really invested 20 million US dollars in a movie?" Zou Wenhuai was still skeptical.
Since he was met by Zou Wenhuai, Yin Jun has no need to hide his secrets, "Yes, this is an adventure action movie created by George, and Stephen was invited to shoot it." ”
George?
Stephen!?
Zou Wenhuai only pondered for a moment, and then contacted what the mother and son said just now, and knew who Yin Jun was talking about.
He was a little speechless.
How long have you Yin Jun been in the United States, and you are so familiar with two world-class directors?
I've been in Hollywood more than a dozen times, but I can only grovel to some quasi-first-rate, even second-rate directors!
Zou Wenhuai didn't suspect that Yin Jun was using others to elevate himself, he knew this young man very well, Yin Jun had his own pride, and it was definitely impossible to do such a thing.
Besides, even if the relationship is ordinary, you have taken 20 million US dollars and become someone else's financier, can you still be unfamiliar with the relationship?
Cheng Long walked back with two plates on them, with a bunch of burgers, cola, and coffee on them.
"Although the food in the United States is a little more expensive, it is genuine, and it is much better than that of Xiangjiang. Cheng Long sat down, took a hamburger and nibbled on it.
Yin Jun was also not polite, he was a little hungry just now, and he also picked up a hamburger to eat, "Brother Long, this thing is to fill the stomach, and the ingredients are also average, do you think they will use high-quality beef to make meatloaf?"
"Hehe, it's delicious. Cheng Long said, "Don't say it, Yankees These things are really convenient, you can buy them and eat them in a few minutes, when we are filming, we have such things to eat, and we can fill our stomachs, and we are not afraid of getting dirty, and we are not afraid of having no place to eat." ”
"This is something we can learn from. Yin Jun said.
Convenient, fast and hot.
McDonald's and KFC also rely on this trick and are very popular around the world.
Of course, this is not the only reason for their success, but these are important.
Hungry people need to be able to walk in and get their food in their hands within two minutes and eat it in large gulps.
Zou Wenhuai didn't have the heart to eat, nor did he participate in the chat between Yin Jun and Cheng Long, he kept thinking and measuring.
He brought Cheng Long to Hollywood, and he was actually filming.
This play is called "Killer Trench", and it is a movie that he finally found Robert, a familiar quasi-first-class director in the United States, to write and direct.
originally thought that Robert was a relatively good director, and he was familiar with Xiangjiang movies, and wanted him to tailor a movie for Cheng Long to make Cheng Long popular.
Unexpectedly, when I got the script, Cheng Long's role was greatly compressed, which was similar to the role of those European and American actors.
Zou Wenhuai thought that Cheng Long was coming to Hollywood for the first time anyway, so let's be the leading role once, this time make money first, and then push Cheng Long with a push, so that he can get familiar with Hollywood, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Today, while filming has not officially started, Zou Wenhuai took Cheng Long to see and learn everywhere, and by the way, see if he can visit a few super-first-class directors and sit down with them to talk about movies, so that they can be familiar.
As a result, before he arrived at Lucas's office, he heard that Yin Jun had invested $20 million in a film that Lucas and Spielberg collaborated on.
This is a bit of a blow to Zou Wenhuai.
It's like when I was playing a strategy game, I had just conquered the Zhao Kingdom, and the people were already chasing the Huns on the grassland, and they were not at the same level.
The key is $20 million!
Zou Wenhuai was very distressed to invest $8 million in "Killer Trench", but Yin Jun invested $20 million without hesitation!
Jiahe has such a big business, and he can only invest 8 million in a movie, why is Yin Jun so willing?
Is it really so profitable to buy and sell land?
Zou Wenhuai was a little puzzled.
Then he simply asked directly, "Ah Jun, where did you get so much money to invest in movies? Also, 20 million US dollars to make movies for Americans, aren't you afraid that they will do something and make you lose all your money?"
If the object of my investment is Golden Harvest, then of course there is this possibility.
But now it's investing in Lucas and Spielberg, they are all face-saving people, not to mention, there are still a lot of laws in the United States to protect investors, and he still has Huo Jianning to keep an eye on, how can he lose all his money?
Americans also like to play tricks, but you also have to look at when and with whom.
Some people will never be able to use their reputation to ruin them for the rest of their lives.
Directors are one such group.
Woody Allen is a little better, after all, you and I want it.
But you go and look at Polanski, what happened to him?
If your reputation is ruined, you really won't be able to turn over again for the rest of your life.
Especially this kind of director who cheats investors in money, so who will dare to believe him in the future?
Besides, take 10,000 steps back and say, with the pride of Lucas and Spielberg, they will use deception to cheat money?
People can make a lot of money by directing movies directly, okay?
Thinking about it, Yin Jun said with a smile: "I mortgaged my land, and the investment of 20 million US dollars was not given to them at one time, and it was bound by serious laws." Although there are many restrictions on making movies in the United States, they still dare not mess around. ”
"But, can this movie really make money?" Zou Wenhuai said, "Although they are big directors, it is possible to hit the streets, right?"
"It's up to you to like and feel. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice: "I read the script and think it's okay, I should be able to make some money, at least I won't lose money." Mr. Zou, you have to believe my vision of the script. ”
Zou Wenhuai then remembered that Yin Jun himself was a genius screenwriter.
Before, he originally wanted Yin Jun to write a script for Cheng Long, but with the success of Cheng Long's "Laughing Fist Tricks", he felt that Cheng Long could get the script by himself, and he didn't need to spend a high price to ask Yin Jun, anyway, Yin Jun's script was not much better, far less amazing than his script on the TV series.
But no matter what, Zou Wenhuai will not doubt Yin Jun's ability and vision in the script.
Since Yin Jun thinks the script is good, then ......
In Zou Wenhuai's heart, an idea sprung up unconsciously.
Pressing the thought in his heart for the time being, Zou Wenhuai said, "Ah Jun, I took Ah Long to Hollywood to make a movie, why don't you help me read the script later?"
"No need. Yin Jun shook his hand and said with a smile: "First, this is not in accordance with the rules, and second, if I say that the script is good, then it is okay; if I say it is not good, then what should you do?
Zou Wenhuai smiled unconsciously and self-deprecatingly, "You're right, I'm abrupt." ”
He thought that Yin Jun was unhappy that this script was written by someone else, and you still asked me to read it, do I have this obligation?
Besides, Yin Jun is right, the script is not good, whether it is good or not, there is no way to change it.
What Jiahe and Cheng Long have to do is to try their best to make a good movie, and leave the rest to the market for inspection.
Actually, Yin Jun already knew the result, so he didn't want to see it.
What movie did Cheng Long make in Hollywood this year?
Isn't it the "Killer Trench" that hit the street and got home!
This movie, which was produced by Golden Harvest with more than 10 million US dollars and all the Hollywood teams, ended up losing about 4 million US dollars, that is, about 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
The biggest failure of "Killer Trench" is, of course, not in terms of money, but in not achieving the expected effect - Golden Harvest originally planned to take advantage of this to bring out Cheng Long and make him the second Li Xiaolong.
But this movie not only did not bring Cheng Long out, but made Cheng Long suffer a lot of grievances, and finally returned to Xiangjiang, vowing that he must control his own destiny, control the movie by himself, and not let others fool and direct himself like fools.
So from Yin Jun's point of view, this is not a good thing for Golden Harvest's international strategy, but it is a great thing for Cheng Long.
Cheng Long has also experienced such twists and turns, so he concentrated on operating his own Asian market.
Then when the Asian market was hot to the point of a mess, when he was at his most energetic and the team was at its most harmonious, he entered Hollywood again.
At that time, Cheng Long finally ushered in his first success and gained a firm foothold in Hollywood.
Then he met the A-list masterpiece that made him popular in Hollywood and became an international superstar.
Since then, there has been only one representative of Huaguo's movie stars.
Cheng Long!
Therefore, if they don't let Cheng Long go through the ordeal and don't let Golden Harvest know about the failure, they don't know how deep the water in Hollywood is.
Sometimes, failure is not a bad thing, failure can make people sober, can make people who are willing to work hard to recognize their own shortcomings, so as to further improve themselves, and finally usher in victory.
Yin Jun is looking forward to Cheng Long being able to kill all sides like in his previous life.
After all, if you don't support such a person who has completely given up the treasure island and the Xiangjiang market in order to get closer to the mainland, do you want to make more people who want to lean on us chill?
