Chapter 1174 The work of ambition(1/2)
Disney and Lianyi Movies are both their own companies. People like Yin Jun who have harvested and prepared waste food must have had plans for a long time.
The movie for Disney is called "The Genius of Saving Classes".
The original version is the tenth place in the North American box office rankings in 1986, with a box office of more than 70 million in North America, and a global box office of no more than 1.8 billion US dollars.
Watching this result is really not a good movie.
But Yin Jun liked it very much.
Because this is a movie full of childlike innocence and exploration.
It looks at the whole world from the perspective of a senior high school student who is about to go to college. The whole plot is relaxed and cheerful, but it also expresses rebuttal and deep thought about the current education system in the United States.
"The Genius of Skipping Class" caused a sensation in the United States, but it was not small.
Just like ours, you scold the school’s education, the hospital’s fees, and the real estate developers… There is no ordinary people who say it’s bad, and they all say it’s good.
Young people in the United States also hate the strict rules and regulations of schools, and hate the old-fashioned and inhumane teaching directors...
So, when they saw this "Genius of Skipping Class" full of resistance, they suddenly found resonance.
In fact, more than 70% of the box office of "The Genius of Savering Class" is contributed by students.
The filming of this movie may not have achieved much success in the box office, but it is definitely a good thing for Disney's film library to be a teenager film production as a whole.
Moreover, the video tapes of "The Genius of Skipping Class" have been sold for millions of disks one after another, earning more than the box office, and they can be regarded as a typical example of making a fortune in silence!
Oh, by the way, in "The Genius of Saving Classes", the protagonist of the high school student skipped class, said, "It's so wonderful outside, I want to go and see it." In fact, it was the original version of the resigned female teacher's words around 2015.
Compared with the script for Disney's "Genius of Skipping Classes", Yin Jun's script for Lianyi's movie is much stronger.
From the beginning, it was heading towards the box office.
It’s just that Yin Jun was going to give this script to Lianyi Movie at the beginning of next year.
But firstly, Lianyi Film now takes the initiative to ask for battle and wants to use more movies to occupy the market, Yin Jun naturally needs to encourage him; secondly, in history, this movie will be released in the summer of 1984, and it should have been produced in the second half of 1983. In order to avoid collisions, it is naturally better to produce it earlier.
Although Yin Jun had already registered the script in 1979, if you encounter it, it would be a bit embarrassing and it would seem a bit troublesome.
The movie is called "Ghostbusters".
Audiences are very unfamiliar with this name, but in the 1980s, it was a famous science fiction comedy and set a North American box office record for comedy films of 23.8 billion US dollars.
It was only after "The Little Little Imperials", which emerged six years later, that it broke its record.
But being able to maintain a box office record for such a long time shows how much the audience likes this comedy movie with a sci-fi outer skin.
As a result, it made three films in one go! Although the box office was worse than the other, in general, it was still a very good and promising comedy series.
Yin Jun only turned to the "Ghostbusters" 22 years ago after watching Fat Auntie's "Super Suicide Squads" by Fat in 2016.
To be honest, the boy did not like the 1984 version of "Ghostbusters", mainly because the protagonist Bill Merry's face was too rigid and could not achieve the effect of comedy at all.
The other two professors are actually the screenwriters of the movie. They are not considered genuine comedians, and the effect will be worse.
However, many of the shots and plot structures here are still quite interesting.
At least in 1984, these plots and special effects were considered to be very creative.
There is a hint of fear in novelty, a full smile in fear, and a full warmth in smile.
This is where Ghostbusters succeeded.
The three university professors are the main roles, and the black guy who applied for the job also has many roles.
Yin Jun gave the role of one of the university professors to Eddie Murphy without even thinking about it.
Coincidentally, one of the three university professors was originally written by the crew screenwriter for Eddie Murphy, but at that time Eddie Murphy was already the unique male lead. How could he play in a movie with three protagonists? So in the end, he could only replace him.
This life is different.
Although Eddie Murphy became famous, because Yin Jun deliberately supported him, he did not feel as proud and satisfied as in his previous life. Instead, he felt that he needed to learn more so that he could be more successful in the future.
So he will definitely star in the movie that Yin Jun prepared for him, no matter how many scenes there are.
Yin Jun thinks Morgan Ferriman is pretty good, anyway, black buddies are almost the same as those of 30-50 years old.
Tom Hanks is more suitable for the character who originally belonged to Bill Merry.
Although Tom Hanks is not good at comedy, it is also a very good thing to expand his acting style and add more fame to him.
The remaining candidates for a university professor, including the heroine, Yin Jun will not interfere. After all, the people under him have their own considerations and some candidates they think are suitable. If Yin Jun decides all the roles every time, he will more or less hit their morale to the boss and everything will be decided. I have no autonomy at all, as if I am like a puppet!
...
Yin Jun stayed in Xiangjiang, so there was no need to rush for a moment. Just send it to me when I went back.
The most important thing is the safes at home, only Yin Jun has the keys.
Guan Zhilin only has the keys and passwords in the basement, and can enter the basement to see the antique calligraphy and paintings, but she can't open the safes in the basement where Yin Jun stores scripts and confidentiality.
Yin Jun always remembers the ancient saying "If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not secret, he will suffer; if everything is not secret, he will suffer." These things can only be mastered by oneself.
But the girl didn't care about these things. She only cared about Yin Junxi's or not, and nothing else was concerned. She wouldn't explore Brother Jun's secrets at work.
After finishing the conversation with Tang Shuxuan, Yin Jun took Tang Shuxuan's car and went to a cinema in the city.
Los Angeles is the base camp of Hollywood, so there are always many cinemas here, which are very luxurious. It is most suitable for various evening parties, award ceremony, and premiere.
The two of them are participating today, which is the premiere of "Rocky 3" by Lianyi Movie and the current No. 1 player Stallone.
"Rocky" suddenly made Stallone jump from an unknown young actor to a top star in Hollywood.
If it weren't for the niche themes of sports competition, Stallone should have been called a superstar with the influence of "Rocky".
Of course, Stallone is also a very capable and lucky person.
Not long after "Rocky 3", he waited for another ip "The First Blood" that affected his life!
From then on, with two super magic weapons in hand, Stallone became the unshakable superstar in Hollywood. Only Schwarzenegger can compare with him, even Bruce Willis is worse, let alone Van Diesel. This guy is completely different from the previous three.
It is precisely because Stallone has not yet encountered "The First Blood" that Yin Juncai signed such a harsh contract with him so easily. Stallone, who once made a meat fight film in order to make money and become famous, certainly he would not miss such a good opportunity, and it is reasonable to sign the contract.
Just like Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger is not satisfied with being a bodybuilding star, nor is he willing to make a living by relying solely on his girlfriend's reputation, so he also has to sign a contract.
"Rocky 3" attracted many Stallone fans, holding slogans around the premiere theater and shouting Stallone's name loudly.
Stallone is not a superstar yet, so he went out specifically, greeted the movie fans one by one, and signed a lot of autographs. Then he came in to accompany a group of guests.
It is said that they are guests, but most of them are from Lianyi Film Company. Most of them have been working with Stallone for several years and are very familiar with each other.
However, the most noble person today is of course Tang Shuxuan, president of Qilin Group's North American branch, and Yin Jun, chairman of Qilin Group.
Especially the latter rarely appears in these premieres, and even super blockbusters like "Terminator". Being able to come here today is a very favorable face for Stallone.
So Stallone was greeting everyone for a while, then sat next to Yin Jun and chatted with him.
"I've found a town in Alaska, and it looks very good. They've finished the scenes, and after the premiere here, I'll be ready to go." Stallone said this when talking about "The First Drop of Blood".
As the starring actor and producer, Stallone has sufficient power to control the crew, which makes him very satisfied.
Alaska is actually an enclave, located on the northwest of Canada, close to the Arctic Ocean, and heading west is Russia's boundary.
It is ice and snow all year round and the climate is very cold.
Even now, many places are still frozen.
The scene of "The First Blood" takes place in winter, and choosing Alaska is a good choice.
"How is it, have you found the feeling?" Yin Jun asked.
"It's still a little bit short, but after I go there, I will get a good understanding." Stallone said with a smile.
"Actually, this character is a bit similar to you who was not met by her for a few years ago and was hitting walls everywhere, so I think this drama is the most suitable for you." Yin Jun said, "As long as you put your mentality in two years before "Rocky", you can substitute the mentality of this xx veteran and perform well in the movie.
"The First Blood" is a commercial blockbuster, and we don't need too much acting skills. As long as the plot conflict is strong enough, the more severe the suppression is in the early stage, the more exciting the explosion of your lone hero will make people feel. In this way, just like the final victory of "Rocky", it will make the audience feel good and support it."
"I know."
Stallone listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Yin Jun is the first screenwriter to adapt the script, and his understanding of the movie and the character can help him.
Not to mention that Yin Jun still has such a magical halo.
But he couldn't help asking, "Boss, how much do you think our box office will reach?"
Yin Jun laughed unconsciously and nodded, "If the filming is good, I think there is no problem with the box office in North America exceeding 100 million US dollars."
Hearing this, Stallone breathed a sigh of relief and a smile broke out on his face.
Yin Jun has made such a promise, so he will definitely be sure.
That's right, how could the script that Yin Jun likes and the script that he personally changed fail?
The rest depends on yourself.
You must make this movie well so that it can become a new milestone for you!
Stallone is definitely a smart person. He changed the end of the novel from Yin Jun, and changed the Rambo who should have committed suicide to become Rambo surrendering and surrendering under the persuasion of the colonel, leaving a glimmer of hope. He knew that Yin Jun must not just want to make such a movie, "The First Drop of Blood" must be a series.
As long as it is a series, it will be very good!
To be continued...
