For Ye Jin, it is really not difficult to make 40 million US dollars.

However, it is much more difficult to make a good movie that is enough to keep its name in the film and television industry.

Because the movies he watched are basically commonly known as [popcorn movies], more of them are action, science fiction, and comedy.

So he can make money by making commercial films such as "Mission: Impossible" series, "Fast and Furious" series, "Harry Potter" series, and "Twilight" series.

But he couldn't produce films like "The Past of America" ​​that have in-depth, tasteful and connotation.

"Brother Jin, making money is very easy for you. But in my life, I think we can't just live for money. People should have higher pursuits." Lin Qingxia advised, "Otherwise, when you get old, you will think about your life and spend a lot of money and leave nothing else behind. That would be a pity."

When Ye Jin heard this, he nodded.

Indeed, Lin Qingxia is right, she shouldn’t just be obsessed with making money.

He is a time traveler and a son of the plane. Making money is not difficult for him. Even if he has nothing again, he can make a comeback soon.

Therefore, he should have higher pursuits than making money.

Although the movie "The Past of America" ​​may lose money, it is still within an affordable range for him. If he can make money, it will naturally be better.

The most important thing is that it is really a good movie worth savoring.

"The Godfather" talks about [Jianghu], while "The Past of America" ​​talks about [Life].

"Qingxia, thank you for helping me resolve this trouble." Ye Jin thanked with a smile.

"Brother Jin, I really helped you?! That's great." Lin Qingxia clapped happily when she heard this.

She always felt that she was stupid and couldn't help Ye Jin, so she could only drag him down. Now she found out that she actually helped him, which made her feel very glorious.

"Yes." Ye Jin nodded with a smile.

He originally thought that Lin Qingxia was stupid and could not help him. But now it seems that he underestimated her ability. People will change. Lin Qingxia has been charging for the past year and is no longer Wu Xia Amon.

...

The next day, Ye Jin invited Serjo Leone again.

"Mr. Leone, I decided to invest in your "Past of America"," he said with a smile.

"Really?!" When Leone heard this, his eyes widened excitedly.

He has been waiting for nearly eight years since he prepared the script.

And how many eight years can a person have in his life? It can be said that this movie has become his obsession. If it cannot be filmed, he will not be able to close his eyes even if he dies.

Now Ye Jin promised to invest, and finally let him realize his dream. This is really a way to see the moon bright!

"Mr. Ye, thank you, thank you!" Leone thanked without any worries.

"You're welcome, Mr. Leone." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "But I have a small suggestion, I hope you can listen."

"Mr. Ye, please speak." Leone was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad requirement." Ye Jin smiled, "I just suggest that you break the movie "The Past of America" ​​into two to three for filming."

"You also know how thick your script is. If it is made into a movie, it will probably take ten hours to go. If it is such a long movie, don't say that the cinema will not be willing to play it. Even if the cinema is willing to play it, the audience may not be willing to enjoy it." He explained again.

Leonel's "The Past of America" ​​has more than a thousand pages of script. However, the script for an ordinary 120-minute movie is only 120 pages. Therefore, "The Past of America" ​​is really shot according to the script, and the length is quite amazing.

There will be no theater screening for movies that last more than ten hours.

Because it's really unpaid. Movies that last more than ten hours can only be screened one round a day. Even if the theaters are full, they only make a round of money. The theaters have to eat, so they will not agree to screening such a long movie.

Furthermore, for ordinary audiences, it is not realistic to watch a movie after sitting in the theater for more than ten hours. It is difficult to bear both mentally and physically.

So in Ye Jin's opinion, the best way is to split the entire movie into two or three. Just like "The Lord of the Rings", Peter Jackson actually wanted to bring the entire novel "The Lord of the Rings" to the screen, but because its storyline is too long and a movie is really unsuccessful, it was split into three to shoot.

"Well, Mr. Ye, your suggestions are very good, I will consider them." Leone immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile.

He was originally worried that Ye Jin would make any unreasonable requests, but now after listening to Ye Jin's suggestion, he felt very pertinent. The length of "The Past of America" ​​is amazing, and if it is not split, it will be detrimental to release.

"That's good." Ye Jin saw that he followed his advice and nodded with a smile, "Since that's the case, then you can start preparing, I will send someone to help you."

Leone nodded with his head in advance. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

...

Here, he helped Leonne realize his dream, and there, Clint Eastwood also received an invitation from Mythology Pictures.

After reading the script of Robocop, he was generally satisfied with the story.

A city where capital is king and lawless, a police officer converted into a robot, fights against crime, maintains laws and regulations, carries out chivalrous justice, and is brave and fearless...

To be honest, this story is actually quite similar to the western films he made before. However, "Robot" takes place in the future world, while western films take place in the era of advancing westward.

Therefore, after reading the script, he agreed readily.

Then, we send agents to discuss routine processes such as pay and benefits.

Ye Jin still admires Clint Eastwood very much. He is not a professional director, but he relies on self-taught to make works that make countless directors ashamed.

Even though he is still fighting on the front line in his 80s and 90s, he can still make movies that are well received. This alone is enough to make people respect.

Therefore, after Clint promised to direct "Robots", Ye Jin specially invited him to meet him.

...

A month later, films such as "The First Drop of Blood", "Alien", "Grease", "Robot", "The Past of America", and "Sky" started filming one after another.

It is worth mentioning that the starring role of "The Past of America" ​​is Robert De Niro, who was actually appointed as the male lead by Leone from the very beginning.

Robert De Niro is also very concerned about this movie. After being named as the male lead, he discussed other actors with Leone.

Even though they had not yet attracted investment, they still chose the main actors. Therefore, after getting Ye Jin's investment, they quickly gathered the team and began to film in Venice.
