436 [Saturday Night Fever]

The day after the Oscars ceremony, Ye Jin returned to the crew and continued to start work without any delay.

His frustration at the award ceremony yesterday did not affect his working condition at all.

In comparison, after the news came back to Xiangjiang, there were many media and fans who stood up for him.

"The global box office of Rocky is 220 million US dollars, and the global box office of "The Rat Driver" is only 130 million US dollars. The eyes of the masses are sharp. Isn't it clear which movie is better?"

"It's really unfair to be shortlisted for seven awards, but only win one technical award. Why can "Television Storm" and "Taxi Driver" win so many awards?"

"No wonder Richard Prior publicly criticized it at the Oscars. Is it really discriminatory? Otherwise, how could the American box office champion, the annual box office champion, lose to "Taxi Driver", it has not even made the top ten in the annual box office rankings!"

Many film critics have published articles in newspapers, saying unfairly that they won’t compete for the [Best Film] for "Rocky". The people of Xiangjiang have also been talking about this, and they all feel sorry and worthless for Ye Jin and Mai Jiashang.

This storm also affected the overall box office of Western Film in Hong Kong. Many people have become disgusted with Western Film, especially Hollywood films, because of this, which has greatly reduced their box office performance. Compared with last year, the box office performance has dropped significantly by 20 to 30%.

The unpopularity of western films has also made the Hong Kong film market more and more prosperous, thus making more and more capital invested in Hong Kong film shooting, further promoting the prosperity of Hong Kong films.

...

Of course, Ye Jin didn't know about these things, and his energy was all on the new work.

The Oscars are a thing of the past, and all the results are confirmed. No matter whether they are accepted or opposed, they cannot be changed.

Since that's the case, there is no need to think so much. Putting down your burden and moving forward lightly is the best choice for Ye Jin.

"Dragon Hard 2" can be regarded as a comeback for Ye Jin. As long as this movie is popular, the losses of "Star Wars" will be completely back, so it must be filmed well.

However, Ye Jin could not take it seriously, but Zou Wenhuai, Guo Zhenghong, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer and others called him to speak out for him.

"Man, I think your "Rocky" is really good, and it's really unfair to lose to "Taxi Driver"." John Travolta said to Ye Jin.

He did not receive an invitation at the Oscars yesterday. Although the box office he starred in "The Ghost Street" was sold for $40 million in North America, because of his subsequent development, he still cannot be regarded as a Hollywood first-line movie star.

"It's okay, it's all in the past." Ye Jin smiled, "But I still want to thank you for this phone call."

"You're welcome, we're all friends." John Travolta smiled.

"By the way, how are you doing recently? Are you doing well?" Ye Jin asked with a smile again.

He thought John Travolta was a very talented person. Not only did he have good acting skills, but he was also handsome and full of wild charm.

"Not very good." John Travolta said depressedly.

The box office he starred in "The Ghost Street" two years ago achieved a good box office, which made him begin to make his mark in the industry. However, the two movies he later filmed, "The Prodigal Son" and "Rampage" had a very bad box office, which also made him have a little bit of popularity just now and it was almost gone.

"However, I've been working on a script with Randall Claze these days. He said that if he could get investment, he would be prepared to arrange for me to be the leading actor." John Travolta cheered up again.

"Randall Claze?!" Ye Jin was slightly stunned, feeling that the name sounded familiar, but to be honest, I really can't remember who came.

"Oh, man, you are too forgetful. Have you forgotten Randall? The mv song "What      makes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           �

When Ye Jin heard this, he immediately remembered.

It was last year when Lin Qingxia came to Hollywood to develop, in order to enhance her fame, Ye Jin invited her to be the heroine of her own MV.

At that time, John Travolta also participated in the shooting of MV. Perhaps it was at that time that he met Randall Claze. However, he did not expect that after shooting MV, the two of them were still in contact.

"Oh, it turns out it was him. He was a very good director." Ye Jin smiled. He remembered that Randall's director skills were pretty good, and he shot that MV very well. He was still very good at using the camera, personnel scheduling, and acting skills.

"What script are you studying? If it's good, I can consider investing in you." Ye Jin smiled again.

Although "Star Wars" lost a lot of money, it was not as bad as it was. In addition, in March, Ye Jin received the latest movie dividend from Warner Pictures.

This money is some overseas accounts of "Dragon Hard Boy", "Ghost Street" and "Rocky", and combined, and a total of about 30 million US dollars.

Ye Jin paid off some of them to repay the bank loan, and there was still 15 million US dollars left. In addition to the upcoming taxes, Ye Jin could still have about 6 million US dollars left, which is enough to support a medium-cost movie.

"Oh, this is a movie that reflects the living conditions of contemporary young people." When John Travolta heard that Ye Jin wanted to invest, he immediately cheered up and introduced him.

It turned out that Randall Clazer was inspired by seeing a novel in a magazine and then wrote the script of "Weekend Night Fanatic".

The novel was written by Nick Cohen for "New York Magazine". It was originally called "The New Saturday Night Tribal Style". It was a biographical novel he wrote after a long-term investigation into the lives of teenagers in Brooklyn, New York.

Randall Clazer felt that this novel reflects the confusion, helplessness, confusion of life of contemporary young people, as well as the gap between the rich and the poor, and the current situation of class solidification, so he was ready to make it into a youth film that reflects reality.

Randall Clazer found Nick Cohen, bought the adaptation rights of the novel, then rewrite it into a script, and invited John Travolta to cooperate.

After reading the script, John Travolta also thought the story was very good, so he was preparing to help Randall Clazer find investment. With his pretty well-known face, he believed that he could still get an investment.

They only need about one and two million dollars to finish the film. At that time, this youth film may win the love of young people and allow them to recover their costs.
