Wu Siyuan and Yin Jun talked and laughed.

They are talking about a few days ago, Zou Wenhuai announced in Hollywood that in the next few years, Golden Harvest will invest 60 million US dollars to shoot six films starring international superstars.

This news not only caused a sensation in the United States, but also shook the entire Xiangjiang film industry after it was transmitted back to Xiangjiang.

At this time in late 1979, in an era when Shaw Brothers films had declined, Golden Harvest had already obtained the future superstar they dreamed of, and Cheng Long had proven himself with three blockbuster films, plus talents such as Hung Jinbao and Xu Guanwen, which gave Zou Wenhuai strong confidence.

So this uncle has put all his profits for several years into the United States, and he is ready to do a good job.

Suddenly, the Xiangjiang film industry has become the world of Golden Harvest, and the so-called martial arts alliance leaders should be what they are now.

Golden Harvest's announcement is not only a follow-up investment, but also a new Hollywood film co-produced by Cheng Long and Hollywood directors and big stars - "Killer Trench", which is one of Zou Wenhuai's key recommendations.

This is not only to increase the fame of Golden Harvest, but also to build momentum for future movie releases.

Cheng Long has also received a lot of attention because of this, and he has suddenly become a world-class star from last year's movie star.

And the second news, Zou Wenhuai also revealed that he cooperated with Hollywood directors - Spielberg and Lucas to invest in the new adventure movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Spielberg, Lucas, and starring Harrison Ford, who is famous for playing "Star Wars", has aroused the public's attention even more.

Compared with Cheng Longlai, even the people of Xiangjiang are looking forward to the cooperation of the above three directors and superstars.

Although many industry insiders in the United States are not very optimistic about this adventure action movie, ordinary audiences are very interested in it.

In this era, it is still an era when just looking at directors and superstars can trick the audience into the cinema.

And it just so happens that the works of really good directors and superstars are now good, and they are generally not bad, so the audience's choice is very correct.

It will not be until after 2000 that this situation will gradually change, and the audience will not only watch the stars, but will decide whether to watch it or not.

In fact, the filmmakers in Hong Kong did not notice this from that time until more than ten years later, and always thought that by piling up enough Hong Kong moss stars in the movie, they would be able to attract mainland audiences to the cinema and then complete their great business of making money.

Among them, especially Huang Baiming, Liu Zhenwei, and Wang Jing are exemplary.

It's a pity that they didn't get their wish, except for Wang Jing, who grasped a little bit of the essence and has settled in Huajing, completely stated his position, and can still make money, the rest of the Xiangjiang directors are basically finished.

is often intoxicated with the glory of Hong Kong films in the 80s and 90s, but can't extricate himself, can't work hard, can't make serious progress, such a director, of course, will be eliminated by the development of the industry.

Of course, this is a matter of the next few decades, and everyone's expectations for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" are naturally far higher than those of "Killer Trench".

Speaking of Aaron, Sanmao is a little unconvinced. Wu Siyuan said to Yin Jun, "His qualifications are deeper than Ah Long, his foundation is thicker than Ah Long, and he has more brothers in his hands than Ah Long, and his influence in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia is not lost to Ah Long at all, but Ah Long stole the limelight." ”

Yin Jun nodded.

What Hong Jinbao has lost in his life is not only his personality and strength, but also some luck.

In the early 80s, Hong Jinbao was not inferior to Cheng Long, and even more powerful.

But he is a typical drama celebrity who is not popular, and has made more than a dozen box office blockbuster movies in a row, Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island, Southeast Asia and other places, which are very popular, but not many people can remember this extremely flexible big fat man.

Not to mention Cheng Long, even the younger brother Yuan Biao has been very popular in Japan for two years, but Hong Jinbao just can't be popular, this is also fate.

Sanmao is not convinced, so he will naturally make a move. Wu Siyuan said with a smile, "But I heard that from June to now, Sanmao has asked you to come out for tea, and you haven't promised him?"

"It's not that I don't give face to Brother Sanmao, but I'm too busy. Yin Jun said, "I also called him a few times. And I know very well what Brother Sanmao's purpose is, so as long as I can help him, he won't be angry. ”

"Did you give him the script?" Wu Siyuan asked with wide eyes.

"Yes. Yin Jun nodded.

"Then what about mine?" Wu Siyuan blurted out, "Junshao, we are good friends, why do you take care of Sanmao first? I also need a good script!"

"Well, Brother Yuan, you also have a script, and I'll give it to you when it's written next month. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice.

"Really?" Wu Siyuan was overjoyed, "Come, Jun Shao, I'll replace the wine with tea, and I wish you a glass of wine!"

He is more active than Hung Jinbao, and before "The Loser" was released, he began to talk to Yin Jun about the next script cooperation.

Wu Siyuan is still a good person, but he is much better than Luo Wei.

For example, Wu Siyuan gave the accounts and dividends of "The Loser" in a very timely and appropriate manner, and he was not in arrears at all.

But even so, Yin Jun didn't promise him earlier.

He has been grinding for so long, and now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has finally settled down.

Including Hong Jinbao is the same, three days ago, Hong Jinbao got the script he wanted the most.

Hung Jinbao didn't make movies this year, such as "Miscellaneous Boy" released in June, such as "Fighting for Life with a Single Knife and Killing Gun" released in August, these two movies were filmed, and they were only about 4 million at the box office, which is much worse than the previous Yuan Biao's "Loser" and his own "Owl and Dumbo".

Therefore, Hung Jinbao is even more looking forward to getting a good script from the genius screenwriter Yin Jun, not to mention refreshing the box office record of Hong Kong again, at least about 10 million local box office results, it is also very necessary.

In this way, there was a movie with a box office of more than 10 million in 1979 and another in 1980, which can well consolidate Hung Jinbao's position, and he can make other films, and he can also take advantage of this to get a good salary and director's salary. -- At his level of stardom, fame and status can be eaten.

For example, this year's "Miscellaneous Boy" and "Fighting for a Single Knife Killing Gun" both had a box office of about 2.8 million in the previous life, but as a result, "Miscellaneous Boy" starring Yuan Biao was blessed by "The Loser", and "Fighting for a Single Knife Killing Gun" starring himself with the blessing of "The Owl and Dumbo", both of which got more than 1 million box office, plus the box office in other cities also sold well, and he was also a small profit.

The small income is only relative to "The Owl and Dumbo", in fact, each movie can earn a total income of about 1.5 million, which is not chilling anywhere, and it is very good!

To be honest, Hung Jinbao's movies are not bad, but they are still a bit old-fashioned and have not formed their own style.

His real excellence is still in the "Five Lucky Stars" series.

After that, Hung Jinbao couldn't find a better goal for himself, and sank with the sinking of Xiangjiang Movies.

It wasn't until around 2010 that he found another way with the villains or main supporting roles in several movies, but at that time he was already quite old and could no longer regain his bravery.

Yin Jun actually doesn't like Hong Jinbao's character so much, but if you want to find a person with a flawless personality, you basically can't find it, let alone Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry.

On the contrary, if there is no strong personal characteristics and a distinctive character, then this person will not become a star at all.

Compared with those maverick stars in the United States, the stars of Xiangjiang are all good.

Therefore, Yin Jun is also willing to let the powerful Hong Jinbao play a piece of the sky.

The world's film market is so big, there is no fear that Hung Jinbao will occupy a piece of the sky, and others will not be able to fight - if you look at the hundreds of male and female stars in the United States, have they ever crowded each other?

As long as your market capacity expands enough, then nothing is a problem - one movie a week, more than 50 a year!

This still refers to large productions, other small productions, literary films, and so on.

So a star usually has a big production in a year or two, plus one or two ordinary productions a year, it is enough, and there is no need to work as hard as Cheng Long.

What Yin Jun gave to Hung Jinbao was an excellent movie produced by Xinyicheng in 83.

The name is "Young Master Weiwei".

The film is innovative in many ways.

It tells the story of a criminal billionaire and a group of small people, a series of misunderstandings and coincidences that make the two gangs start a fierce chase and competition, and the ending is, of course, the victory of good over evil.

The innovation of "Young Master Weiwei" lies in the fact that the conflict of contradictions has come to the modern era, and it is no longer the ancient grievances and grievances of the Republic of China.

In fact, the reason why New Arts City is successful is because most of their movies are modern urban themes, so they are very down-to-earth.

This kind of excellent movie full of the atmosphere of the times is naturally more profitable at the box office than costumed and old-fashioned movies.

Originally, "Young Master Weiwei" starred Tan Yonglin, Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Wenya.

The reason why this story was given to Hong Jinbao is because Yin Jun feels that there can be some fighting scenes in it to make this movie more beautiful.

The original version of "Young Master Weiwei" is funny and funny, and it is wonderful, but the Xiangjiang movie is not hearty, what is it called Xiangjiang movie?

Luo Jianlang, who came from the smuggling, can be played by Yuan Biao, and the head of the snake Zeng Zhiwei can also not be changed, and the police inspector is naturally Hong Jinbao, and the wicked and the rich will use Zhong Fa, anyway, he will look very vicious.

Coupled with the three fighting scenes specially arranged by Yin Jun, this movie, Yin Jun himself feels a bit like the "Five Lucky Stars" series.

But it's okay to give Hong Jinbao "Young Master Weiwei", and let him start filming the Five Lucky Stars series next year, and it will be a matter of course.

And what Yin Jun was going to give to Wu Siyuan was the "Chasing Girl" that was later played bad by Wang Fatzi.

"Chasing the Girl" has nothing to do with Wang Jing, the screenwriter is now the general Huang Baiming under Yin Jun, the director is Mai Jia, the boss of the new art city, and the actors are all the generals of the new art city, and the lineup is very strong.

This is basically the pioneering work of Xinyicheng, which tells some absurd comedy stories, and also won the second place at the box office in 81, laying a solid foundation for Xinyicheng and Princess Jin to gain a firm foothold in the Xiangjiang film circle.

It is precisely because of the success of this "Chasing Girls" that Wang Fatzi plagiarized a total of five times in 87, 88, 8.9, 04, and 07.

If this were in the United States, where copyright protection is strict, the fat man could be hung on a tree to dry.

But don't say it, these versions of Wang Jing, the first two or three films, are indeed very exciting, and the spoofs are so bad that people won't be annoying, so over time, everyone forgot about this original version of the ancestor - "Chasing the Girl", and thought it was written by Wang Jing.

Yin Jun doesn't like "Chasing Girls" very much, he watched it back and forth five times, and he couldn't figure out how this meaningless and positive movie could be ranked as the runner-up at the 1983 Xiangjiang box office, and thanks to this, he can firmly remember the content of this not very amazing movie.

Now that Yin Jun is writing the script, of course he will remove the content that is too absurd in it, so as to make the movie smoother, so as not to scold Yin Jun for not knowing what to write when the mainland audience watches old movies more than ten years later.

Whether it is "Young Master Weiwei" or "Chasing the Girl", Yin Jun is now handed over to the screenwriting team led by Huang Ying and Huang Baiming.

Due to the addition of a few new members, their tasks are a little looser, but they still seem a little busy in the face of the tasks that Yin Jun keeps adding.

Fortunately, it is only to expand and discuss the plot, and the main content is set by Yin Jun, otherwise ten more screenwriters will not be enough.

Huang Baiming also mentioned another idea to Yin Jun, that is, to completely separate the screenwriting team, comics are comics, TV is TV, and movies are movies, so that everyone can concentrate more on one thing.

Yin Jun thinks it's good, so let Huang Baiming and Huang Ying continue to choose screenwriters to join, as well as select talents, and put them in suitable positions.

For now, they have to work together.

In the story of "Chasing Girls", there are a total of three young people to be screenwriters, among which the most brilliant main writer is called Gao Zhisen, and the plot written is very interesting, achieving the effect of "funny but not cheap" that Yin Jun wants.

This Gao Zhisen was dug up by Huang Baiming from Li, he felt that this young man was very spiritual, and after talking to him a few more times, he began to focus on cultivating him.

Gao Zhisen also lived up to expectations, he had cleverly conceived the bridges in the screenwriting of several TV series before, and now he is responsible for the expansion of a movie and the addition of bridges, which is also done in an orderly manner, which fully reflects his potential.

Of course Yin Jun knows this Gao Zhisen, this is Huang Baiming's future protégé, the one who filmed the "Happy Ghost" series.

It's just that his talent is also limited, once a few years of high-intensity filming and squeezing are completed, there is no aura, and after entering the year 2000, with the decline of Xiangjiang films, it has become obscure.

This time he works in the screenwriting department here, and Yin Jun wants to see if he can go to the next level after several years of training in script writing.

After all, when filming "Happy Ghost", Gao Zhisen was also very thoughtful and distinctive!
