50 [Superstar Sprout]
After a month and a half, Ye Jin felt strange when he returned home.
He first pressed the phone recording button to listen to the recording during this period.
I heard that at the beginning, there were still many people looking for him.
Like media reporters, film companies are looking for him, wanting to visit him, or wanting to ask him to film.
But later on, fewer and fewer people were looking for him, and in the past half month, there was no call.
Ye Jin knew that it was because he was busy filming and had not appeared for a long time, which led to his reputation falling and his value loss.
Of course, media reporters will not look for him again for those film companies.
This face with red top and white top, and a high and low face made Ye Jin feel awe-inspiring.
"No wonder the ancients said that if you don't advance, you will retreat." He sighed, "If you do this, don't want to sleep on the credit book. As long as you stop, others will catch up."
In the past month and a half, Zhao Yazhi has also called him once and asked about his recovery from the surgery and the return of the script "Titanic".
After a month and a half, when Ye Jin heard her voice again, he was shocked and his heart was beating violently.
"Strange, I haven't thought about her for a month and a half, why is her heartbeat so hard?" he said in panic.
For the past month and a half, he has been busy filming, practicing, sleeping every day, three points and one line, focusing on filming without distraction, and focusing on filming, and he has no energy to think about anything else.
I originally thought that this would make Zhao Yazhi forget, but I didn’t expect that when I heard her voice, I would have such a big reaction.
"It's over, it seems that I really want to hide from her again." Ye Jin decided in his heart.
Originally, I wanted to meet Zhao Yazhi, return it to her, and take the script back. But now it seems that the meeting has to be delayed. When I think of her again and there will be no more emotional fluctuations, it is better to ask her to meet again.
...
"Master, you are back!" In the evening, Zhou Xingchi ran here, "When I saw the lights in your room were on, I knew that you must be back."
Ye Jin nodded with a smile, "You are such a clever person."
"Master, why have you been out for so long?" Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but be surprised, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, and I thought something had happened to you."
"Stop crow's mouth, you can't expect me to be better." Ye Jin smiled, "There's no way. I've been busy filming these days and can't take time to come back. After all, this is my first work and it's not allowed to be missed."
"Oh." Zhou Xingchi nodded, "Master, your movie is finished? When will it be released? I will definitely support you!"
"I think it should be soon." Ye Jin smiled, "I just killed Qing Qing today and started post-production tomorrow. It will be released in January, but it will also depend on the schedule of the theater."
"Ah, don't release it in January." Zhou Xingchi waved his hand quickly.
"Why?" Ye Jin asked in confusion.
"Because Bruce Lee's "The Dragon and the Tiger" will be released in January," Zhou Xingchi explained, "Master, have you told me that it is very dangerous to have a schedule that runs out of the schedule?"
"The Dragon and Tiger Fight" will be released in January?!" Ye Jin was surprised, "Isn't it finished filming in early 1973? How come it has not started to be released until now?"
"I read the newspaper and said that I need to cooperate with the schedule of America." Zhou Xingchi explained, "that's why it has been delayed until now."
"So that's it." Ye Jin nodded.
The movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight" is a movie jointly produced by Jiahe and Warner, with a production cost of 800,000 US dollars. In the 1970s, this was already a huge investment masterpiece for Hong Kong Film Company.
The reason why Jiahe invested heavily in the production of this movie was to use it to promote Bruce Lee to the international market and to promote the company's first superstar with international influence.
Because the Xiangjiang film industry is a star system, celebrities have great box office appeal. Therefore, if there is an international superstar, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to Jiahe's exhibition.
But Warner Pictures did not trust Bruce Lee 100% and did not believe in his charm and box office appeal, so he added two American stars, Jim Kelly and John Saxon.
Moreover, the release schedule is also chosen in January, the off-season for the box office. Because December is Christmas, the Christmas schedule is the prime time for the movie, and the market is very popular.
In January, after Christmas, everyone will go back to work for 6th, and the film market is getting colder, forming a box office off-season. Movies screened in the off-season are generally B-level movies with low cost.
"I think Director Wu should consider this matter and will not let "Snake Shame Hand" crash with it." Ye Jin smiled.
"That's good." Zhou Xingchi nodded.
...
"By the way, Master, come to see what I have taken." Zhou Xingchi pulled Ye Jin to his home, then connected the camera to the TV, and started playing.
A tape camera like this can not only shoot, but also show. As long as it is connected to the TV, you can see the captured images. It is the same as the working principle of a video recorder.
Ye Jin looked carefully and saw that Zhou Xingchi was filming a short drama starring the children of his neighbors, and it was a story of a hero saving beauty.
Two children play the role of a hooligan and bully a girl. At the critical moment, Zhou Xingchi arrived, used his martial arts, beat them up, and successfully got the girl out.
The entire short drama is only five minutes long, the story is relatively old-fashioned, and the acting skills of several children are even more worth mentioning. However, Zhou Xingchi still made Ye Jin's eyes shine.
Because from this short film, he can see that his acting skills are obviously better than other children. Although the traces of imitating Bruce Lee are quite obvious, it is quite amazing to imitate those who are quite similar.
Moreover, during the shooting process, he already had the awareness of composition. The little girl and the little hooligan did not stand randomly, but the position was very particular, and they were basically standing near the golden section point.
What Ye Jin particularly admired was Zhou Xingchi's imagination.
When he kicked the little hooligan off with one kick, in order to show the power of his fists, he actually let the little hooligan stick to the wall, as if he was embedded in it. When he made another person vomit, he spit out a few marbles from his mouth.
This has already had the beginning of nonsensical comedy.
"Not bad, very imaginative." Ye Jin smiled, "Axing, you can watch more Japanese cartoons and try to incorporate their funny elements into your performance."
"Why, Master?" Zhou Xingchi asked in confusion.
"Because there are two most popular movies in this world. One is action movies and the other is comedy movies. If you can combine action and comedy, then aren't you the most popular star?" Ye Jin smiled, "And there are many funny elements in Japanese cartoons, which are very popular among young people in Hong Kong. If you incorporate their funny elements into your performance, and with the kung fu I taught you, and the combination of two swords, who else will be your opponent?"
After hearing his explanation, Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up, his mouth gradually opened, and he burst into laughter.
"Ah, hahahaha, Master, you're right, I'll do that." He said happily.
Chapter completed!
