A new author, who has published two novels at the same time, has achieved such dazzling results in just half a year, which is definitely a very remarkable achievement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Readers like it, but the key is that some fiction critics and columnists have all highly admired and praised the two books without exception, and they are not afraid of Jun's pride at all.

With the addition of the list, with the addition of critics, the fame of the two books and Jun is even greater in the blink of an eye.

There are even a few well-known critics who have given Jurassic Park the title of "Best Book of 1980" in advance.

Therefore, after Henry Publishing House once again launched Yin Jun's three novels in one go, it immediately ushered in hot sales.

Kant Henry was already very optimistic about Yin Jun's books, so he signed a contract for 20% royalties and a premiere of 1 million copies for all three books.

I originally thought that with my current fame, I would be able to sell three novels in a year and a half, but I didn't expect that just after the news was released, booksellers from all over the United States came to the door and asked for 500,000-700,000 copies of the inventory.

Then after the official release in May, "World of Warcraft", "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Forrest Gump" ushered in unexpected hot sales.

As of June 30, "World of Warcraft" has sold 390,000 copies, "A Song of Ice and Fire" has sold 450,000 copies, and "Forrest Gump" has sold 280,000 copies.

Among them, World of Warcraft is the most popular among young people, and young people aged 18-25 are the main buyers of it.

"A Song of Ice and Fire" is loved by 25-35-year-old people in the prime of life, and the strange changes, power struggles, and appearances of various characters in it make them want to stop watching.

In the last "Forrest Gump", the main audience is concentrated on middle-aged people aged 35-50, the era that Forrest Gump has experienced and the spirit he has, in their view, can resonate and make them feel a lot of emotion.

In fact, the critics are also at this stage, so they express a deep love for the spirit shown in "Forrest Gump", even more than "The Da Vinci Code".

As a result, many critics touted "Forrest Gump" and called it "the most touching novel of 1980".

What makes critics sigh the most is actually Jun's changeable creative style.

Jun can tell so many novels in different genres, and his writing is as sophisticated as a wise old man in his fifties and sixties, but he is only 18 years old.

If it weren't for the fact that Yin Jun had already been proven to be a genius, and no one had come up with evidence that these books were written by himself, everyone would not have believed it.

But that's just the way it is.

Jun's book is so moving.

There have long been super geniuses like Mozart in the West, so they all believe that geniuses like Yin Jun exist.

And the quality of the book itself is very good, which adds a great halo to Yin Jun.

In this hot June, even Stephen King is slightly inferior to Jun!

It's just that Spielberg rushed from the United States to Xiangjiang for definitely not just to give "Raiders of the Lost Ark" a platform.

In fact, the Asian propaganda was not included in the plan, and Lucas did not expect this.

It's just that Spielberg has something to find Yin Jun, so he called Lucas by the way, and then Harrison Ford also readily agreed to come to Xiangjiang to attend the premiere, which made up such a luxurious lineup.

After chatting for a few words, Spielberg shifted the topic to his purpose, "Joon, after finishing "Raiders of the Lost Ark", I also rested enough, do you think we should talk about the production of "E.T."?"

The script for "E.T.", Yin Jun gave it to Spielberg as early as last year when he was filming "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Then Spielberg was in the process of filming "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and he wrote and painted to revise and improve the script of "E.T.", mailed it to Yin Jun through DHL, and Yin Jun sent it back for revision...... After repeating this several times, in April, the two finalized the script of "E.T." together.

But as for when "E.T." will be filmed, Yin Jun has never let go.

Even whether Spielberg came to shoot or not, Yin Jun did not say.

Of course, according to the friendship between the two, if Yin Jun wants to find someone to shoot "E.T." in the United States, it must be Spielberg, because the script has his share of credit, and after so long of discussion and research, he has long known how to shoot "E.T."

But Spielberg was worried that Yin Jun would find someone to shoot in Xiangjiang.

Although Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, in Spielberg's opinion, there is absolutely no way to shoot "E.T." well.

Spielberg was worried that Yin Jun blindly trusted his own people and spoiled such a good subject.

From April to now, he has been waiting for two months, but he still hasn't received Yin Jun's letter, so Spielberg can't wait, so he simply came to ask directly.

More than just asking, he is also ready to argue with reason, take "E.T." in his own hands, and let himself have full authority to shoot and supervise.

Yin Jun is a smart person, and he naturally understands Spielberg's own strong request to promote "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Asia.

Naturally, the boy would not refuse Spielberg's request, but he had to take care of the details.

"Stephen, I know you love E.T., and in fact, in my heart, there is no other person better suited to make E.T. than you. Yin Jun said, "But how to make it, I think we need to think carefully." ”

"How about thinking about it? Just the way we're working together this time?" Lucas interjected.

"No, I can't. Yin Jun didn't speak, and Spielberg flatly refused, "Lucasfilm's distribution ability is too poor, and it is not good for "E.T.", if you invest in it, it's okay, but as a distributor, it's exempt." ”

Faced with the resolute opposition of his old friend, Lucas shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

Anyway, "E.T." has been talking to Spielberg from beginning to end, and he didn't get involved much at all, if he could have the distribution rights, it would be a good thing, and if not, he would not be disappointed.

As for investment or something, don't mention it, he George Lucas only trusts his own vision, and he generally has no interest in other people's films.

Especially in today's situation, he has the copyright of the two major series of movies "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", even if he makes one every other year, it will be 10 years later, and he doesn't have to worry about it in a short time.

Harrison Ford also drank coffee and didn't speak.

When filming "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he had already read the script of "E.T.", and knew that it was a play between a group of children and aliens, and he couldn't intervene at all, so naturally he wouldn't force the role.

"Joon, what are the details of what you are talking about? Tell me and let's discuss it. Spielberg raised his hand and said, "Lucas and I know a lot of people who should be able to help you." ”

"It's not anything else. Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "First, when "E.T." was filmed, I invested the script and part of the funds as the original investment. The return I need is calculated by the box office, and this box office amount needs to be notarized by an accounting firm. At the same time, the copyright of "E.T." should also belong to me. ”

Spielberg had already thought about a lot of problems, and nodded slightly when he heard this, "There is no problem with the box office, you can rest assured, no matter which film company it is, it has its own code of conduct." ”

Yin Jun laughed unconsciously.

Without supervised box office results, even if it is 500 million box office, it can be accounted for 300 million or even lower.

Hollywood companies, but even Wall Street money dare to cheat, just a handsome person, there is no deterrent at all.

Yin Jun can trust Spielberg, but the problem is that Spielberg's guarantee to the seven major Hollywood companies is completely ineffective.

Seeing Yin Jun's disbelief, Spielberg sighed, "Okay, we'll discuss this matter later, in terms of determining the box office, I'll help you hire an accounting firm to ensure that they can't do anything big." And then Universal Pictures is also my partner, so I don't think I will overdo it. ”

Spielberg said this, which proves that there will be more or less cattiness.

But Yin Jun knows that this is also inevitable, and unless he is strong enough to become one of the seven in Hollywood, he will not even want to change this rule.

"Okay, that's it. Yin Jun nodded, "So, what about the copyright of "E.T."?"

"The issue of copyright is actually very complex. This time it was Lucas who spoke, "The most important reason why I can keep the copyright of "Star Wars" is because I am responsible for all the work related to film shooting, such as conception, screenwriting, shooting, editing, etc., so Twentieth Century Fox had to agree to my request to retain the copyright, but the distributor of "Star Wars" must be them. It's the equivalent of being tied together. Jun, you are a native of Xiangjiang, and you are not involved in filming work, and if you want to retain the copyright of "E.T.", I don't know how difficult it is compared to me. ”

"yes, it's so hard to keep the full rights when you have no roots in Hollywood. Spielberg said, "If I were you, you could choose to keep half of the copyright and sell the remaining half to Universal Pictures, and such a cooperation would be successful." The premise is that they don't know how good the movie "E.T." is. ”

"Do they know?" Yin Jun asked.

"Hehe, I think it's definitely great, but I don't know what they think, after all, the director's idea is different from the company. Spielberg shrugged, "So there's a good chance they'll agree to just half of the copyright to reduce the risk." ”

"I'll think about this question and give you an answer in two days. Yin Jun said.

Although Yin Jun did not agree now, Spielberg's face was relieved, in his opinion, Yin Jun did not object, which means that he is not so resistant to sharing the copyright with others.

There is no way around it, Hollywood has never been a place of warmth, it is a vanity fair, full of plunder and cruelty.

If Yin Jun didn't find himself, and he didn't like the script of "E.T.", then at most Yin Jun would have to get a screenwriter's little money, and don't even think about the box office or anything.

Yin Jun's own thoughts are actually similar to Spielberg's.

Just like when Yin Jun wrote the first script "Bao Qingtian", Liu Tianci told him, you are nothing now, how can the TV station listen to your conditions?

Only through slow struggle and continuous excellent results can you have the ability to bargain.

The truck driver staged a classic counterattack for all the directors who made movies, which cannot be said to be an example for Yin Jun to learn, because the goals of the two are different, but this is definitely a good reference.

In addition, Spielberg doesn't know that compared to "Jurassic Park" and "A Song of Ice and Fire", "E.T." is also a one-shot deal, only such a film will be filmed, there will be no sequel, and the derivatives are not a big hit, so Yin Jun can still accept the helplessness of being distributed half of the copyright.

You said that let Lei Shidong do a temporary theater again, okay?

It can be, but with Lei Shidong's ability now, he has won the release of popular movies twice in a row, then he will definitely be suppressed by the seven Hollywood majors, and I am afraid that this giant will not be able to hold on at that time.

After fighting to the death in a difficult situation, getting benefits and prestige, and then slowly settling down and developing steadily, this is what Lei Shidong will do, not the giants who have repeatedly provoked Hollywood.

So if Yin Jun finds Lei Shidong this time, the effect will definitely not be as good as last time, and it will make Lei Shidong embarrassed, which will damage the friendship between the two.

Although Lei Shidong is also a hero who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, it is better to have such a love than nothing.

"One last question. Yin Jun said, "I don't have any opinions on the selection of actors, etc., but when it comes to special effects, I hope to hand over this work to the digital field." ”

"Joon, you're not kind like this!" Lucas immediately objected, "Your digital field is only a grass stage team, how can you do such an important special effects well?

"George, I know that ILM is very good, but Stan Winston has called me many times, saying that they don't have any influential lists, and they don't have a chance to practice, what do you want me to say?" Yin Jun said helplessly, "When I bought their studio, I promised to let them develop more, but they didn't do anything, so why did they stay in the company?"

Yin Jun's words are half-true, the most important thing is, of course, to cultivate his own special effects company, otherwise when he makes movies in the future, he will definitely be stuck by someone's neck.

George Lucaston's breath was sluggish, he couldn't say that for the sake of his own company, he wanted to let Yin Jun's own company not do things, right?

Americans are friends, but business is business.

"Actually, it's not that difficult. Spielberg said, "I'm mainly looking for Stan Winston, but if they can't do it, I'll leave it to ILM, how about it?"

Yin Jun hesitated for a while when he heard this, but finally nodded, "Okay!"

You can take your time to practice your craft, but you can't be sloppy in the production of movies, and if there are special effects that can't be done in the digital field, of course, better industrial light and magic will come out.

"So, by and large, are we already done?" Spielberg asked, perked up.

"Yes. Yin Jun raised the milk tea cup, "Stephen, I hope you can make an excellent movie!"

"Don't worry, I'll be able to shoot it!" Spielberg said confidently.

He has never been humble about what he is good at.
