Chapter 188: Keep Up with the Times (Fifth Update!)

Guan Shan didn't know that even if he had Yin Jun's face, others wouldn't be able to give him such a high salary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Take McDonald's "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love" as an example, he was originally the third male lead, although there are many opportunities to appear, but overall it is not much, so if it is a beautiful actor to star, their cost is about 10,000 at most.

But McDonald Bear directly doubled the price of Guan shirts, and this extra reward was naturally posted by Yin Jun himself.

Then the same is true of Hung Jinbao's upcoming "The Owl and Dumbo", and even more so with Xiao Sheng's "Shanghai.Sea.Beach".

For Yin Jun, this is the most appropriate way to help Guan Shan at present without hurting his self-esteem.

As for what he wants to do in the future, it will have to be said later.

Guan Shan can be better with that woman for a lifetime, so it's up to him.

If there is a discord in the future, he wants to go back to be with his wife and children, then it's nothing.

Anyway, in addition to Yin Jun, in addition to not letting Guan Zhilin have a little accident, the rest of the Guan family, he just ensures that their lives can be comfortable.

With Yin Jun's understanding of Guan Shan, he will definitely pick up these scenes.

In reality, many high-spirited people will succumb to life.

Guan Yi doesn't have a film company, if he doesn't want to sit and eat, he will definitely be industrious.

At this time, Yin Jun was concerned about the box office of Cheng Long's "Boxing Essence" on the first day.

The box office statistics of a movie are generally counted and then announced by the theaters and movie theaters themselves, which is usually quite decent.

Some small-scale films, in order to deceive foreign cities to buy out the copyright, will deliberately buy the theater chain, improve the statistical data, and make others feel that their movies are very profitable.

But copyright buyers in other cities are not fools, if you say that you cheat a little at the box office of two or three hundred thousand, they won't say anything, but if it is obviously released in a week or two weeks, you have to say that your movie has sold 2 million, or even 3 million, then it is too much to look down on people's IQ.

Even if the data of cinemas and movie theaters can be faked, the length of time they show a movie cannot be faked.

The kind of movies that have been released for 20 days or a month are generally not far behind.

Therefore, in addition to looking at the box office statistics of film rights buyers in other cities, there are many aspects that need to be considered before considering whether to bring in a movie back.

Cheng Long relied on "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", the two movies were not only popular in Hong Kong, but also very popular in other parts of Asia, as if he had become another kung fu superstar in Hong Kong in addition to Li Xiaolong.

So seeing that "Boxing Essence" is about to be released, some foreign distributors who dare to gamble have come to negotiate the price before the release.

It's a pity that Luo Wei thinks too highly of himself, he thinks that "Boxing Essence", which is written by himself, modified by Cheng Long, and directed and acted by himself, will definitely break the box office record of "Drunken Fist" and reach a new high.

Golden Harvest and Luo Wei have similar ideas, they own half of the copyright, and this time they chose to support Luo Wei.

As a result, the results on the first day are only about 250,000, not only Golden Harvest and Luo Wei are surprised, but also all the people in the film industry are very surprised.

Cheng Long is already such a famous kung fu star, he doesn't dare to say that he broke the 850,000 first-day box office of "Seven Days of Love", but in the case of 15 theaters jointly screening, it is still expected to rush to a box office of about 500,000, and the general result should be around 400,000.

But this is actually a result of 250,000, which is a bit too low.

But after everyone's perception of watching the movie came out, this data seemed very normal.

"It's still funny, but it's a little old-fashioned, and it doesn't feel very good for taste. ”

"That abbot of Shaolin Temple is a bad guy at first glance, and the plot is not particularly interesting, can it be a little more difficult?"

"Cheng Long's fight is still very exciting, but the pattern is too small!"

“……”

The comments of the audience and the newspaper directly affected the results of the box office.

In the next six days, including the box office on Saturday and Sunday, the weekly box office was only 1.32 million, and everyone knew that Cheng Long's "Boxing Essence" was at best about 3 million at best.

Fortunately, Cheng Long's movie is basically based on him, and no other stars have joined, most of the scenes of this "Boxing Essence" can be filmed on the set of Jiahe's Axe Mountain Road, and the production cost is not high, only in the early 800,000s, otherwise Jiahe and Luo Wei can be so depressed that they vomit blood.

Rao is like this, many filmmakers in other cities still value Cheng Long's fame and performance, and the copyright price of "Fist Essence" in other cities has been sold for more than 3 million one after another, and he has finally regained a little face.

Seeing that "Fist Essence" did not reach half of the expected goal, Jiahe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that there was still a "Dragon Fist" set by Luo Wei, and they became more and more bottomless in their hearts.

It's just that Cheng Long insisted on finishing the two movies he promised Luo Wei, and then making the movies he wrote and directed, and Golden Harvest could only rely on him.

Yin Jun will not be surprised at all that "Fist Essence" can have such results.

If it weren't for Cheng Long's considerable modification of "Fist Essence", it would probably be the same as in the previous life, and it would not have been able to get a total box office of 2.5 million.

Luo Wei's thinking has completely lagged behind this era, and he always repeats the elements and conditions of Li Xiaolong's success, thinking that this will make Cheng Long successful.

As everyone knows, there is only one Li Xiaolong, and each era has its own characteristics, and it always has to keep pace with the times in order to achieve success.

Even if Li Xiaolong is still alive, if he keeps his style unchanged, he will definitely fall slowly.

If according to the current situation, Cheng Long will at least wait until the release of "Laughing Fist Strange Moves" conceived by himself before he can really establish the prototype of his own style.

Speaking of which, Luo Wei was really unlucky, in order to rush Cheng Long to make more money for himself, he didn't think about letting Cheng Long conceive a work by himself.

In his previous life, Luo Wei also let him shoot "Boxing Essence" after taking Cheng Long back from Wu Siyuan, but the results were not good, so he asked Cheng Long to create it himself, and the final "Laughing Boxing Monster Move" was as high as about 5.5 million local box office, and won the box office champion of the year.

Then Luo Wei was excited again, and then asked Cheng Long to make another "Dragon Fist", but the results were average, which made him extremely depressed.

What made Luo Wei even more depressed was that Cheng Long was poached by Golden Harvest after this, and he never made a film for him again, and he could only watch Cheng Long become Golden Harvest's cash cow.

In this life, Luo Wei made the same mistake, thinking that Cheng Long was already gone anyway, but since he promised to make two movies for himself, he took out the two movies that he had prepared a long time ago and let Cheng Long make money for himself.

"Boxing Essence" and "Dragon Fist" are too old-fashioned scripts, but Luo Wei doesn't think so, and he is mainly produced by his own company, which can save a lot of costs.

If Luo Wei is a little smarter and directly lets Cheng Long make both movies by himself, and he only needs to invest money into them, then the return he gets is simply beyond imagination.

It's a pity that he has always been only clever, and he has no business wisdom at all.

This is also the reason why after the Hong Kong film market became hot in the future, he actually had to use all his wealth to make movies with his thinking that was more than 20 years behind.

With such a reckless action, the ending was naturally tragic, and tens of millions of dollars were lost, and he was almost not to death.

Yin Jun didn't care much about the cooperation between Luo Wei and Cheng Long.

He now has several books in his hand, especially to guide Huang Baiming to fill in and expand "The Owl and Dumbo", and he also seems very busy.

It is really not an easy task to expand the content of the dozen or so manuscripts given by Yin Jun into hundreds of pages of detailed scripts, plus more detailed sub-scripts.

Huang Baiming is 32 years old this year, but he doesn't put on a show at all, he will come to Yin Jun's house every morning, show Yin Jun his filled and expanded script, and then Yin Jun will discuss with him, and point out what he lacks and what can be improved.

To be honest, Huang Baiming is actually quite conceited about his screenwriting ability.

He used to feel that the reason why he was not famous was just a lack of opportunities, and if he was given a chance, although he could not be as famous as Yin Jun, he could still become a first-class screenwriter.

But after following Yin Jun's study and discussion for so many days, Huang Baiming's concept has changed a lot.

Most of the bridges and screenwriting methods that he was proud of before have been killed here by Yin Jun.

What Yin Jun gave was a kind of plot development like a cloud of peers, as well as a variety of foreshadowing ideas that were not too brainless and could arouse the audience's interest in exploration.

In Yin Jun's conception, it doesn't have to be a cheap person to be funny, an originally serious fat man, inadvertently unintentional actions and words can make the audience laugh, this is a profound foundation.

As for the fighting, Yin Jun also resolutely eliminated those playful fights, but pursued a kind of reality more, so that although it is a lot more difficult to structure and write, and you have to learn some knowledge of fighting skills, but this is also an improvement for yourself.

Originally, a script could be written in about 100 pages, but because the first script needed to be run-in, Huang Baiming revised it five or six times repeatedly, writing a total of more than 300 pages, and it was not completely finalized.

But Huang Baiming didn't feel that he was too wasteful, but had a feeling of being reborn.

He knows that his current self is not very good at filling the expanded script, but he has found a direction.

As long as you continue to develop in this direction, you will definitely be able to truly succeed!

In order to achieve this goal, no matter how hard and difficult it is, Huang Baiming feels that he can persevere! )
