Chapter 2136 Kung Fu star who wants to be famous all over the world
When Yin Jun received a call from Tao Huimin and He Qin, he was eating.
Having a mobile phone is convenient.
No matter where you are in Xiangjiang, you can basically find people.
This is also thanks to the 60 signal base stations built by Xiangjiang Telephone and the continuous upgrades, which has made various signals stronger.
Today, there are more than 100,000 mobile phone users in Xiangjiang, which is more than Singapore.
The reason lies in the convenience and speed of this mobile phone.
However, Xiangjiang Telephone is not a profitable person now, at most it has just begun to balance income.
However, the huge losses for more than three consecutive years have not made investors lose confidence in their mobile phones.
From the perspectives of Japan, China, the United States, South Korea and other aspects, they know that mobile phones will definitely develop rapidly in the future.
As long as more and more people in Xiangjiang use mobile phones, they will not be able to leave their mobile phones, thereby continuously increasing the turnover of Xiangjiang phones and increasing its profits.
Therefore, although Xiangjiang Telephone's stock has not risen sharply in recent years, it has definitely not fallen sharply. Overall, it has risen by about 20%.
Compared with the overall Xiangjiang stock market, Xiangjiang Telephone's performance is definitely not very good, but considering that they have lost more than HK$1 billion in their mobile phone business every year, they can still achieve such results, which is amazing.
Among them, many rating companies and securities companies gave Xiangjiang Telephone a positive rating, which is also one of the important factors.
In fact, the stocks of Xiangjiang Telephone did not rise sharply, and they also secretly put pressure on them to force investors to continue to sell stocks and then they bought them to make money.
After telling Tao Huimin and He Qin that after he could handle this matter, Yin Jun handed over the phone to Cai Huzhu.
Then he apologized to the person opposite him.
"It's okay." Brother Long with a big nose smiled honestly, "You should be busy for your own sake, you won't be as busy as me, I feel like I'm too nervous all day long."
"Brother Long, you're not worried." Yin Jun shook his head and said, "Last year's "Police Story 2" and the movies he collaborated with Brother Sanmao are all extremely exciting and it makes me enjoyable."
"When it comes to fighting, I'm really a little confident." Cheng Long laughed.
"How much I paid, I will get it naturally." Yin Jun said: "I was very busy during that time and I don't know how the overall box office revenue was?"
"All are pretty good." Cheng Long nodded and said, "The Flying Dragon in the Sky is a box office of 650 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, and "Police Story 2" also has a box office of 500 million yuan. Thanks to Jun Shao, you have opened up theaters across Asia and have a joint screening across Asia, otherwise our box office would not be so high."
He said that the box office was good, but there was not much joy on his face.
Although both films of European and American copyrights sold for more than US$10 million, Cheng Long was still not very satisfied.
Why?
Do you know how much box office in Asia last year's "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been held?
6 weeks of HK$1.4 billion!
Zhang Guorong of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has nothing in the movie than Cheng Long.
As for the most outstanding Xiaoqian Wang Tuxian, he is even more an unknown junior.
But their joint efforts showed such great power, which made Cheng Long, the old senior, very ashamed!
What made Cheng Long feel even more crisis was "Huang Feihong's Ambitions" released last spring.
This movie, starring Li Lianjie and Guan Zhilin, won a box office of HK$1.18 billion in 6 weeks, a little more than the box office of his two movies.
Especially Li Lianjie, he obviously takes the path of kung fu movies. Although he is different from his type, he will definitely divide some fans who like kung fu movies.
If you don’t consider the European and American markets, the market is so big. If you have more fans, I will have fewer ones.
Cheng Long has been very anxious in recent years.
His performance is incredibly good, and he is one of the top three action superstars in all of Xiangjiang.
Even Hong Jinbao has been suppressed by him in recent years, and the only junior brother Yuan Biao can be compared with him.
Yin Jun is not not not taking care of Cheng Long.
For example, the first and second parts of "Die Hard" were co-starred by Cameron and Cheng Long.
This series of movies sells well all over the world. "Die Hard 2" released in February last year had a box office of 720 million US dollars worldwide, which is also an important bargaining chip to ensure that Cheng Long is not caught up by Yuanbiao.
Ke Yuanbiao's "Raider" series and "Seeking Buddha" not only had the box office as high as the box office, but also the exciting fight made Cheng Long a little shocked.
So Yuanbiao is famous all over Asia, which is really expected.
And after filming two movies of "Die Hard", this series has been stopped by Lianyi Film Company.
The reason is that Cameron went to film Terminator 2 and then had other plans.
"Die Hard" lacks Cameron, just like a lack of a soul, so naturally there is no way to film it again recently.
The most important thing is that Yuan Biao received continuous support from Yin Jun. This year, "Seeking Buddha 2" is about to start filming again, and his own "Yuan Family Class" has begun to be found in the action design, which makes Cheng Long particularly threatening.
Now a Li Lianjie has emerged, which makes Cheng Long feel more and more that his hope of dominating the Xiangjiang Kung Fu movie is becoming increasingly slim.
Cheng Long is not a person who is waiting to die.
He knew that he had now entered a bottleneck. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to ask Yin Jun to help him, give him a good script, and then go to another level with a grand and exciting development.
Cheng Long also knew that he was a little greedy.
After all, he only filmed "Die Hard 2" with Cameron in the second half of the year before. After only a year and a half, he wanted to get another series of masterpieces.
But he also has his own reasons.
"Mr. Jun, I am 32 years old this year. It should be because of the golden age of my life. The peak period is at most ten years." Cheng Long said, "I want to take advantage of my strong body to make more good movies so that I can bring a new height to Hong Kong movies. So I feel a sense of urgency that "time is no longer enough."
Yin Jun heard it slightly.
Cheng Long's movies are indeed from his 30-40 years old, and they are the best shots.
In terms of fighting scenes, it is also the most exciting age group.
Of course, because Cheng Long trains and maintains well on weekdays, he can reach around 45 years old at this peak.
Cheng Long was no longer able to do so. Although he didn't use a substitute to fight, most of them still had to rely on slow adjustment of the movement and fast forward editing of the camera to make the action scenes.
This is also impossible.
No hero will never grow old.
"So I only made two movies in a row last year, and I also have plans for two movies this year," Cheng Long said. "From the process of my filming, it should be my limit."
After becoming famous, Cheng Long never made bad movies.
Only after he was 60 years old, in order to earn some pension money, would he take on some obviously weak movies.
But compared with domestic movies of the same period, Cheng Long's movies are still considered conscience.
But at that time, he was in his 60s and could actually make three movies a year. Yin Jun could see that his attitude was not good.
Because Cheng Long at his peak had at most two movies a year, usually one.
If he is injured, it is normal to have one movie every two years.
He was particularly serious when filming, and he was absolutely striving for excellence. Many dangerous shots had to be reshooted continuously, and only if the effect was achieved was achieved was considered satisfactory.
This is why no insurance company dared to take over personal insurance for the family at that time.
Now he has a more advanced shooting method and a safer special effects production method. Although there are some action scenes he has, it is not as dangerous as his previous life.
So Cheng Long said that he could make two movies a year, which is normal.
After all, he is very energetic and does not need to rest at this age, just do it hard.
"Brother Long, are you ready to take pictures?" Yin Jun asked.
"I have agreed with my senior brother and Yuan Biao that we will go to the Philippines to shoot next month," Cheng Long said, "But I haven't settled for the second movie yet, so I want to ask Jun Shao for help."
"Do you want to film "Die Hard 3"?" Yin Jun asked.
"No." Cheng Long shook his head and said, "Director Cameron said that this part will take two years to shoot, and I respect his decision... What I think is, Jun Jun, can you arrange another movie for me? I want to make a name for myself! Now, relying solely on "Die Hard" is a little bit worse."
Yin Jun laughed silently: "Brother Long, you have great ambitions!"
"When I first went to learn the arts, I thought I could have enough food. Later, when I starred in a movie, I thought I could act well and get a pay." Cheng Long said, "But later, after I never had to worry about money in my life, I always thought I could do more! I am a man, I am a rough man, but I know how to make a kung fu! So I thought about whether I could introduce Chinese kung fu to the whole world and inherit Mr. Li Xiaolong's unfinished career. This is also a kind of honor for our kung fu!"
If others say this, Yin Jun may not believe it.
But now that Cheng Long said this, Yin Jun believed it.
And Cheng Long did it later.
Anyone in the world who has watched a movie will basically know that there is a Jack Chen in China, who is a super kung fu superstar.
He represents the pride of Chinese Kung Fu.
"It's a good thing to have ambition." Yin Jun said while pondering, "I'm going to the United States soon. We'll discuss it in detail when we come back! It's not that easy to continue to gain a foothold in the United States. Brother Long, you will have a lot of hard work next!"
"I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm afraid I don't even have the chance to work hard!" Cheng Long was overjoyed and raised his glass: "Thank you, Jun Jun, I'm here to wish Jun Jun in advance, a complete victory at the Oscar and a big killer!"
"Thank you for your good words!"
The boy smiled and raised his drink cup.
Chapter completed!
