After coming out of the restaurant, Huo Jianning endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Ajun, don't you think about it more?" Huo Jianning said, "You said you came to Hong Kong and earned more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in more than a year. Now you just listened to the story and threw out nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars so rashly. Aren't you afraid of losing all your money? Do you know that there are too many movies in Hollywood that have lost money! Even Lucas and Spielberg may not be stable!"

Huo Jianning is not the old fox decades later. He is not so worldly, so he just told his worries.

Yin Jun nodded slightly in his heart.

If Huo Jianning didn't say anything today, and did not see or hear it, then Yin Jun really had to think carefully about how to use him.

I had to learn from Li Chaoren to other talents, and after using it, I kicked him aside.

He said now that he was at least kind inside and was willing to care about the people around him.

"Brother Ning." Yin Jun stopped, "Do we want to make a bet?"

"Betting?" Huo Jianning said in surprise.

"Yes, bet." Yin Jun said, "You also heard it when they told me the plot. Do you think this story will be popular?"

"It's hard to say." Huo Jianning shook his head.

"Do you think the global box office can reach 100 million US dollars?" Yin Jun asked.

"It's hard to say."

"Where is US$200 million?"

“It’s hard.”

"Where is US$300 million?"

“Unrealistic.”

Hearing this answer, Yin Jun said, "Then let's bet like this. If the global box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is less than 300 million US dollars, I will buy you a house for Brother Ning in Taiping Mountain in Xiangjiang, and you can choose the place. If it reaches 300 million US dollars, Brother Ning, come and help me for ten years. Ten years later, whether you go or stay, you decide for yourself."

Huo Jianning's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak immediately. After thinking about it, he said, "Ajun, are you so optimistic about me? I think I can be worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars?"

"I think Brother Ning, you are more than that." Yin Jun smiled, "I am a very accurate person. I don't need to have any achievements as a foundation. As long as I talk to him, I can roughly know his behavior. Of course, if you are talented, I may not be willing to bet on you at such a big price... If you don't say what you just advised me today, at most we will be the relationship between employers and employees... And now, you are my Yin Jun's friend."

Huo Jianning smiled unconsciously.

Inside his smile, there was admiration for Yin Jun.

He is worthy of being a genius boy, and he has various considerations and calculations when doing things anytime and anywhere.

Huo Jianning is sure that Yin Jun’s main goal this time is to invest in Lucas and Spielberg’s new films, but he did not expect to investigate himself by the way.

Huo Jianning was not embarrassed at all about this. Instead, he felt that if the future boss had such a personality, the company's development would definitely not be bad.

The master who takes one step and three steps is born so smart and has a good understanding of the world. Can others take advantage of others?

If this idea was followed, Huo Jianning would be a little confused for a moment.

Yin Jun must think that Lucas and Spielberg's movies will make a lot of money, but why is he so sure?

Is it because he is the number one screenwriter in Xiangjiang that you can tell the excellence of this movie from the script alone?

However, there are many steps between a script and a movie. If one step doesn’t work, then the whole movie will be done.

What exactly is the factor that gives Yin Jun such strong confidence?

"Because they are Lucas and Spielberg." Yin Jun said, "I write the script, and I naturally pay attention to famous screenwriters and directors around the world. I have studied these two people, and they have never had a young and frigid personality, especially Spielberg. He is very good at combining art and box office. This is also an important reason why "Jaws" is obviously a slightly terrifying movie, but in the end it has so many box offices.

If it weren't for a good script, Lucas wouldn't have polished it for so many years before he took it out, nor would he look for Spielberg, the best executor he thought, to shoot a movie. Spielberg was even more critical. If it weren't for a good script, if it weren't for his recognition, he wouldn't have taken over the job at all. This man who is still a literary man at heart would not tolerate himself making bad movies to ruin his reputation.

There are risks in making movies, whether it is investing in movies or making movies by yourself. In fact, you are right, this investment is a gamble, but when we are gambling, we can constantly add chips to ourselves and make our chances of winning through various judgments. This is all I can do.”

When Huo Jianning asked, Yin Jun preached to him like this.

At this moment, Huo Jianning felt that it seemed that Yin Jun was not a risky one this time. Because he had thought so much and thought so much, he started to do it. It was not because he admired the two great directors, so he was stupid to invest.

In just a few minutes, Yin Jun could think of so many things, and he had the courage to discuss with the two major directors directly, and successfully convinced them to hear the complete script story.

With a genius gold medal screenwriter as Yin Jun, of course he could tell whether this story is good or not, and whether it can make money into a movie, so he started decisively.

Of course, Lucas and Spielberg were not afraid of Yin Jun plagiarizing this story in the name of investment. Not to mention that the story had already started to be polished five or six years ago, just say that with their status in Hollywood, who dared to plagiarize their works? Isn’t this asking for death?

"I bet with you!" On the way home, Huo Jianing, who had been thinking for a long time, finally made a decision.

But he started betting not for the tempting bet, but for the favor of Yin Jun.

Huo Jianning has already decided that no matter whether Yin Jun wins or not, he will join Yin Jun's company to see where this young man, who is ten years younger than him, can go.

If Yin Jun really developed, then as the first person to follow Yin Jun, Huo Jianning was the minister of the Dragon, and the benefits he got were definitely immeasurable.

Even if Yin Jun had little success in the end, this was a test of Huo Jianing's workplace life, and he could still vote for the wise leader again afterwards.

"Brother Ning, forty years later, you will feel that this is one of the best decisions in your life." Yin Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, "I welcome you to my company in advance."

"Haha, the winner is not decided, Ajun, don't be careless." Huo Jianning shook hands with him.

"Well, because there are many unknown factors, I want to ask Brother Ning to do me a favor." Yin Jun said casually.

"you say."

"When making a movie, investors will have supervisors present, responsible for the dispatch and use of funds." Yin Jun said, "I believe you know that although I will invest 10 million US dollars...well, it may be more than 10 million US dollars, but this money will not be given to them at one time, so I need someone I trust to manage this money and supervise Spielberg's shooting progress."

"You said...I asked me to go?" Huo Jianning was stunned, "But I don't understand movies!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand movies. As long as you get stuck in your funds, you can learn and recognize anything." Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice: "We will definitely make movies in the future. With a super director like Spielberg, you may have only one chance to do movies, so I hope you can learn more."

"I understand." Huo Jianning also simply figured out that he would not be shy about following Yin Jun to do things, and he would naturally do the best things the boss told him.

As for the trivial matter of focusing on the cost of money, Huo Jianing is simply not worth mentioning. He is a person who has obtained the qualification of an accountant in the United States.

The next moment, Huo Jianning asked again, "Then do I need to have a good relationship with Spielberg and the crew? Will we use them?"

Yin Jun was very happy that Huo Jianing used the word "we".

He said, "A director like Spielberg, regardless of whether it is useful or not, should have a good relationship with him. As for the crew..."

Speaking of this, Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "Forget it, including Harrison Ford, just contact us."

Although Harrison Ford is one of the prides of Americans, the advertising effect of this superstar is not that good.

His global influence is far less than that of the Governor and Iron Blood Stallone. Perhaps it was because of that period that Americans prefer muscular men.

Yin Jun is a very practical person for these famous foreign movie stars, and he is unwilling to spend a lot of money to invite big stars to star in his movies.

If you don’t pay for the classic movie you wrote, you can calculate it. You still want to get a high salary? Dreaming!

Not to mention the pay of the superstars in Hong Kong that has dragged down the entire Hong Kong film market, the United States is actually almost the same after 2010.

Superstars get more and more dividends in their films, and the cost of making movies is getting higher and higher. Once the movie is screwed up, it will lose up to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. Such huge losses will definitely not be able to bear two or three times for the eight major Hollywood movie giants.

Fortunately, the United States opened up the Chinese market at that time and with the world's second largest supermarket, they could continue to develop without any danger.

This is also the reason. Among the Eastern bad guys in Hollywood, they have become North Korea. They never dared to say bad things about China. Perhaps this is another kind of kneeling and licking.

Why are Xiangjiang movies and Hollywood movies both invested heavily in money, but the last one collapsed, while the other became the world's number one?

Very simple.

Because Hollywood has invested more money in filming costs and increased sincerity.

But Xiangjiang movies always want to save money, thinking that I have invested so much money, so I can save as much shooting cost, anyway, I’m just selling face.

The result is naturally that Hollywood movies, which are more costly, more sincere and more face-selling, have won the recognition of movie fans around the world, while Xiangjiang Movie, a model that only sells faces, has failed and has no room for struggle.

It is said that it is because it has not caught up with the opening of the mainland film market, but look at what the situation is like when the mainland film market is opened?

Except for a few people like Wang Fatty, all the other famous directors of Xiangjiang are all merchandise, and they can't impress the mainland audience at all.

This situation has not changed even in 2020, and with the aging of the golden generation of directors of Xiangjiang, it is difficult for new directors to have a box office of over 100 million - you should know that there were not too many movies with a box office of over 700 million yuan in mainland movies at that time!

So, no one is stupid, no one can think of anyone being stupid.

Making movies seriously is what filmmakers should do the most. (To be continued.)
