403 [Tell the truth]
One hour and fifty minutes later, the screening of "Star Wars" was completed.
Ye Jin gave Lucas applause without hesitation. In his opinion, this movie is very remarkable. The pictures, special effects, shapes, stories, and everything is outstanding.
It was admirable that Lucas was able to make such a movie in the 1970s. Moreover, Ye Jin felt that this version of "Star Wars" was even better than the previous version.
Because, the investment in this movie is seven million dollars more than the previous version. You get what you pay for, making this version of "Star Wars" special effects more well produced and brings an extremely shocking audio-visual enjoyment to the audience.
Moreover, the fight in this version of the movie is much better than the original. The fight scenes in the original version are very simple. When the duel Obiwang, a Jedi, and the Dark Lord, a Sith warrior, fought, they looked like two children playing house, and they did not have the momentum of a master competing.
The fight scenes in this version are all guided by Ye Jin as martial arts, and the screen effect has reached a new level. Under his design, Darth Vader and Obiwang have made great tricks, which is very dangerous. In the eyes of the audience, their blood is naturally thriving and extremely comfortable.
Therefore, Ye Jin felt that the box office of this movie should not be much different from the original.
"George, I think the movie is of great quality, and I believe it will definitely achieve a good box office." He smiled and said to Lucas, "Brighton, what do you think?"
"Ah, yes, I think it's good too." Lin Qingxia replied with a strange expression.
"Thank you." Lucas nodded with a smile, "Since you have no objection, then we will contact the publisher as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll contact Warner right away." Ye Jin smiled. He and Warner had a priority cooperation agreement.
...
Ye Jin immediately contacted Warner Pictures.
"Mr. Anderson, my latest masterpiece "Star Wars" has been completed. I don't know when you have time. I'll ask you to watch this movie." He called.
"I have time tomorrow, come with the copy." Warner Distribution Manager George Anderson smiled.
The box office of the three movies Ye Jin invested in, "Dragon Hard", "Ghost Street" and "Rocky" were all very good. Warner Pictures made nearly 50 million US dollars because of his cooperation, and its stock price rose by half. Therefore, in the eyes of George Anderson, Ye Jin is as cute as Santa Claus.
Not to mention that the movie "Star Wars" is said to have invested more than 10 million US dollars, and is directed by well-known director George Lucas, so it is likely to create another box office miracle. Warner is of course interested in releasing a movie like this.
"OK, can you do it tomorrow afternoon? How about going at two o'clock?" Ye Jin smiled, "If we have a smooth conversation, we can just treat you to a drink."
"Okay, no problem." Anderson smiled.
...
After staying at Lucasfilm for a short time, Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia returned to the hotel.
"Qingxia, how do you think we are buying a villa in Beverly Hills?" he asked with a smile on the way.
Now they haven't bought a house in Los Angeles yet, and they have been staying in the hotel. Although the hotel is good and the service is in place, the hotel is not their own home, and it is still a bit inconvenient.
For example, socializing, socializing, security, privacy, etc., hotels are not as convenient as their own home. In their own home, Ye Jin can hold large parties, receive friends at will, and hire top security personnel to strictly protect their privacy.
"Buy a villa?" Lin Qingxia was stunned, a little confused.
"Yes, after Star Wars' box office hits, I'll go buy a villa to celebrate." Ye Jin smiled, "Just buy it for 5 million US dollars."
In the 1970s, most Beverly Hill villas were between hundreds of thousands of dollars. For $5 million, you can buy a villa that looks like Buckingham Palace.
"Brother Jin, are you really so confident in this movie?" Lin Qingxia saw that he was so excited and thought she had won, and was already considering rewarding herself. Finally, she couldn't help but persuade, "What if, what if, what if, the box office was not good?"
She wanted to give Ye Jin a shot in advance so that he would not be hit by the bleak box office.
"Why, don't you watch this movie?" Ye Jin was stunned when he heard Lin Qingxia say this, and then asked in surprise, "What a great movie it is, why do you still have such worries?"
"No, I just talk about it casually." Lin Qingxia saw that Ye Jin was unhappy and quickly changed her mouth.
"No, tell me the truth, don't hide it from me, say whatever you want, what do you think of this movie?" Ye Jin didn't believe her words and insisted on asking.
"I really think it's pretty good." Lin Qingxia said carefully.
"To be honest!" Ye Jin emphasized, "If you don't even want to tell me the truth, then who else in this world deserves my trust?!"
"Okay, to be honest, I really think this movie is not very good." Lin Qingxia had no choice but to curl her lips.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jin asked curiously when he heard this.
He thought "Star Wars" was really good. Although it was incomparable to those special effects blockbusters in his previous life, it was definitely outstanding compared to movies of his contemporaries.
"First, the story is too messy, and I feel like the plot in the previous one is cut, and the story starts a bit abruptly. Moreover, I still can't understand why it is already the space age, and those people still have to compete in martial arts? Are laser swords more powerful than pistols?" Lin Qingxia thought for a while, and then concluded, "The second is that the costumes and craftsmanship are too dirty and messy. Those people's clothes are dirty, messy and poor in texture. Aliens obviously wear leather hoods, and those spacecraft are also very worn."
After hearing this, Ye Jin smiled slightly.
The shortcomings that Lin Qingxia mentioned are actually the advantages of "Star Wars".
Yes, the first part of "Star Wars", the story really begins a bit abruptly. Princess Lea, the Lord of Darkness, Luke Skywalker, Obiwang and others seem to have come out of the ground, and the origin of the characters is not clear.
This is because George Lucas prepared a big story earlier, but because the story was too grand, the length of a movie could not be completed. Moreover, the investment was too large, and it was difficult for ordinary film companies to invest, so George Lucas cut off the previous expensive story and started filming the fourth "New Hope".
Later, the previous stories were made into a prequel trilogy by him, such as "The Phantom's Threat", "The Clones' Attack" and "The Revenge of the Sith".
Therefore, Lin Qingxia felt that the story of "Star Wars" began a bit abruptly, but it was actually correct.
Chapter completed!
