Chapter 874: Another Useful Use

Looking at the script in front of him, Yin Jun didn't feel a little headache.

"Murder List".

Its appearance was a bit of a surprise, and it made sense.

Because this movie was originally Yu Yunkang's masterpiece, it was even more famous than "Mountain Dog".

There is also the beautiful side of human nature in "Mountain Dog", as well as the father's sense of justice to avenge his daughter.

But "Murder List" is different, it is full of gloomy and destructive emotions, it is a horror movie for horror's sake.

If you are a person who particularly likes to watch this kind of movie, you must be willing to watch it, but most fans will not like this movie with a strong dark and destructive mood.

Therefore, the box office of "Murder List" is not very satisfactory, with a total of more than 4 million, which seems to have barely recovered the cost.

This is also the disadvantage of horror films in China.

The United States has a unique market for blood and plasma, Europe has a hobby of blood suckers and ghosts, and Japan has a tradition of liking zombies.

But the atmosphere and culture of Xiangjiang are still very traditional places, and even if there are lovers of horror movies, they will not be able to support this market because the base is too small and the number of people is too small.

If you put it in the mainland 40 years later, out of the 1.5 billion people, you only need to find one percent of people to like it, which is enough to make horror movies return to their original costs and get good profits.

Seeing that Yin Jun didn't speak, Yu Yunkang was a little apprehensive.

The script of "Murder List" has long been liked by him and bought it a long time ago, but he has never had the opportunity to shoot it.

It was rare for Yin Jun to give him a package ticket, saying that he wanted to support his movie, so he immediately took the script out of the safe, and then carefully revised and polished it several times before handing it to Yin Jun.

Looking at the current situation, it seems to be ...... He doesn't like it?

"Murder List", a movie full of suspense and horror, ordinary people seem to have a headache.

But a genius screenwriter of Yin Jun's level shouldn't have such scruples, the screenwriter has considered what type of movie script he should have, it's just what type the screenwriter likes the most and what type he is best at.

It may be that Yin Jun is young and doesn't like to touch these dark sides, so he doesn't write such a script.

"Jun Shao, this script ......" Yu Yun said dryly, "Isn't it good enough?"

"In terms of the level of horror, it will definitely make Xiangjiang people like it, but Mr. Yu, have you considered the issue of the audience?" Yin Jun asked him.

"What do you mean......" Yu Yunkang couldn't understand the meaning of Yin Jun's words.

"The population of Xiangjiang is about 5.5 million, and by 82 years, it should exceed 6 million. Yin Jun said, "Do you think there are 200,000 fans who like horror thrillers?"

"Nope. Yu Yunkang said very directly, "It is very powerful to have 100,000 people." ”

"The current ticket price is about 10 yuan, if it is 100,000 people, even if you add fans who occasionally watch some horror thrillers, we count it at 200,000, and the total box office results are 2 million. Yin Jun said, "Don't you think this box office is a bit low?"

Yu Yunkang's face changed, and after a while, he said, "There are also foreign cities selling copyrights...... My "Mountain Dog" later sold more than 10 million additional rights. ”

After "Mountain Dog" won the award at the first Xiangjiang Film Awards, it did have a bonus effect, and no one came to buy the copyright before, so they also bought it one after another, but it made a lot of money for the film company, but Yu Yunkang didn't get a penny.

"Do you think the core content of "Mountain Dog" and "Murder List" is the same?" Yin Jun laughed, "Let me give you an analysis, Baodao people and Singaporeans prefer gentler movies, and they don't like this kind of thriller genre very much, so you won't have the foreign rights of these two places, and Thailand and Malaysia are similar, which accounts for most of them." ”

"Japan and Korea like it. Yu Yun said stiffly, and his tone was already a little wrong.

"Yes, Japan and South Korea like it, they like heavy tastes, but are you sure they can understand this culture of China, and understand what is called ghost fetus and Taoist practices?" Yin Jun said, "If they are separated from this cultural background, can they understand it? Can the box office be good?"

"Handsome ......"

Yu Yunkang was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "I appreciate your consideration, but this movie, I really want to do, if you are not willing to invest, then forget it...... I won't bother you!"

Yin Jun smiled dumbly, and also raised his hand: "You sit down first...... I told you, I'm not going to invest?"

"You have made it so clear, and you are still willing to invest?" Yu Yunkang said in surprise, "This will not make money!"

"Movies don't make much money, but it doesn't matter, I'm optimistic about you as a director. Yin Jun said, "I'm telling you this today, not to embarrass you, but to think about it, if your movie is too niche, will the road in the future become narrower and narrower, and finally make yourself have no way out?"

In the history of his previous life, Yu Yunkang was like this.

After making so many thriller horror films in a row, the box office results were not as good as the other, and finally he completely quit the film industry in 1990 and went into business.

The reason is that Yin Jun just said that the audience he set is too narrow and cannot be praised by the public at all.

Xiangjiang is still too small to accommodate too many types of movies.

Yu Yunkang nodded when he heard this, "I thought about it...... If no one appreciates my films, then forget it!

"Isn't this attitude a little negative?" Yin Jun said lightly, "Why don't you think about it, how can you satisfy your own shooting ideas, and at the same time make the audience like it? Which great film director, they have to be incompatible with the audience? You have a lot of talent, but you can't show it, isn't it a pity?"

Yu Yunkang smiled bitterly, "What talent do I have......

He knew from the beginning that his style was not the mainstream style at all.

But the problem is that he just loves to make films like this, to explore the meaning between thriller and horror, to explore and express humanity in another way.

This kind of style and habit was formed when he was studying in the film department, and if he is asked to change, it is really better to let him retire directly.

When making a film can't first satisfy one's own creative ideas, then what is the purpose of making such a movie?

"If you can make a movie like Mountain Dogs, you are talented. Yin Jun said with a straight face, "I'll vote for you 2 million, you can choose the actors of Qilin Culture at will, and this "Murder List" is like this." But after filming "The Murder List", you give me a trip to the United States and help me make a film. Then you can see how different it is from yours!"

The United States?

Yu Yunkang paid attention to this.

He knew that Yin Jun had acquired three companies in the United States, two of which were entertainment-related.

Especially United Arts Film Company, which is one of the seven famous Hollywood giants, did not expect to fall into the hands of Yin Jun.

When he first heard the news, it was a real thrill.

Yin Jun is really winning glory for our Xiangjiang people!

Unexpectedly, now, Yin Jun actually said that he would go to the United States to make a movie, isn't it just under the United Arts Film Company?

Will you be able to make a movie in Hollywood one day?

Yu Yunkang suddenly had a feeling of unreality.

He stammered a little even when he spoke, "I, I don't think I'm capable enough...... I'm afraid it won't live up to your expectations!"

"Whether you have the ability or not depends not on talking, but on doing. Yin Jun said, "Aren't you a graduate of the film department of the University of California, Los Angeles? I want you to know the production process in the United States, so let's do it! I'll give you the book, give you the budget, and United Arts Film will be responsible for recruiting actors for you, and then you will be solely responsible for shooting and editing." ”

"I ......"

Yu Yunkang's chest kept rising and falling, obviously with great mood swings.

He gritted his teeth, let out another breath, and then clenched his fists.

After a long time, he nodded heavily, "Junshao, don't worry! I will make a good movie even if I try my best!!"

As the saying goes, a man dies for his confidant.

Yin Jun gave him so much support when he was not optimistic about his movie, and actually prepared a movie for him in Hollywood, how could this not move Yu Yunkang?

Hollywood!

How many filmmakers dream of this?

In particular, how could he, a full-fledged film graduate from a prestigious university in the United States, not dream of a day when he would become famous in Hollywood!?

Now, Yin Jun has given him this opportunity, that is his Bole, and he has to die for Yin Jun!

"Don't be so nervous, Brother Kang. Yin Jun changed his name without a trace, "My movie is very suitable for your characteristics, as long as you play to your heart's content, you can shoot well." ”

Yu Yun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he endured it again.

He wants to see the script, what kind of story is it, is Yin Jun tailor-made for himself?

But now that he doesn't even have a contract, how can he ask to read the script?

Yin Jun's script, especially this kind of script that can be filmed in Hollywood, starts at least 10 million Hong Kong dollars, if it is leaked, who will bear the responsibility and loss?

Yu Yunkang thinks that his character is still very passable, but why do you want others to believe in yourself?

If he were Yin Jun, would he trust this director who doesn't have much friendship with him so unconditionally?

No kidding!

But to his surprise, Yin Jun immediately opened the drawer, took out a file bag from it, and handed it to him.

Yu Yunkang is not a stupid person, and his mood skyrocketed to the highest point in an instant.

A little tremblingly, he took the file bag, only to see four words written on it.
