Chapter 1293 Lianyi Is Making Steady Progress

In 1982, Disney was certainly making rapid progress, but its brother company, United Artists Pictures, was not doing too badly either.

Unlike Disney, which focuses on TV channels and literary films, United Art Films followed a commercial style from the beginning.

no way.

A major Hollywood company actually fell victim to it and was eventually acquired. This was an unspeakable pain for this group of management.

After learning from the experience, they decided to work harder on commercial blockbusters and make more good movies to make money.

In the next three to five years, don't talk about anything except making money.

As a result, so many movies were released one after another.

These include the hit "The Terminator", the "Beverly Hills Cop" that almost set a record, and horror film classics such as "Saw".

Compared with the scripts given by Yin Jun, the new episode of "007" is not that popular. The North American box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars, which can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

The release of two new films starting in November gave them another series of surprises.

The first is "Beverly Hills Cop 2". This movie stars the original cast and continues to be produced by Bruckheimer. It not only takes advantage of the previous advantages, but the funny and action scenes in the second episode are further improved, which makes the audience more excited. It was a blast to watch.

Since the audience likes it, the box office results will naturally be good.

"Beverly Hills Cop" grossed a whopping $45 million at the box office in its first weekend, and continued to gross $40 million in its second week, surpassing the first episode's $210 million box office. There is absolutely no problem.

Then Stallone, one of the two aces of United Artists Film Company, brought his new film-"First Blood".

This standard American movie of personal heroism also amazed countless movie fans in this cold winter.

“Saw the best Stallone!”

"This is the real man!"

"It's so exciting! I'm going to explode watching it!"

"..."

Evaluations like this are common in the United States.

Stallone was originally a very famous action actor in the United States. Now that he has made a big hit, he has immediately reached a higher level, as if he can be comparable to Harrison Ford in no time.

Because the script of "First Blood" tells the life of Vietnam War veterans, the Vietnam War only happened a few years ago, and of course it resonated in the hearts of Americans.

As a result, the box office of "First Blood" has also increased, and it was once alongside "Beverly Hills Cop 2", and even suppressed the third week performance of "Beverly Hills Cop 2".

The North American box office in November and December was basically dominated by these two movies, and other movies combined did not account for more than 30% of the box office.

Hollywood newspapers exclaimed that United Artists Film Company was returning to their glory days!

This made the senior executives of United Artists Film Company both happy and distressed.

The feeling of two tigers fighting each other, one's own family fighting one's own family, is really wonderful!

It's nice to watch, and it's lively, but it will at least affect the box office of more than 30 million US dollars!

If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have taken a two-week break, but a month!

United Artists' idea of ​​taking advantage and selling well has been spurned by countless film companies.

Nima, this is already the case, do you still want to do better?

Do you want others to live?

Fortunately, no one foolishly went against Yin Jun's book this time, otherwise they would definitely be cannon fodder.

At this point, everyone has lost interest in He Yin Jun.

Even Michael Eisner, who hates Yin Jun the most, only thinks about how to poach people, rather than relying on Paramount blockbusters to resist Yin Jun.

With Yin Jun's natural script ability, even if he could win, it would definitely be a miserable victory.

When doing business in Hollywood, why do both parties lose?

We want to make money, not for grudges.

After confirming that the opponent cannot be defeated, the next thing to do is to immediately change the attitude and not invade each other with Yin Jun. We can even join forces to suppress other small companies.

Don't doubt it.

These giants in Hollywood are just such a reality, so shameless, and so shameless.

In addition to money and interests, nothing else counts in their eyes.

Therefore, in recent months, Kirin Group has obviously not felt such strong pressure.

However, Tang Shuxuan never felt that others spared the Qilin Group. She knew that without strength, others would not treat you well.

Just like those theater chain operators, haven't they seen that United Artists and Disney's movies can make money, so they came so eager to ask for cooperation?

Those small and medium-sized film companies will also actively cooperate with Kirin Group for the 100 cinemas of Kirin Cinema Line.

Therefore, nothing is as strong as yourself. Only when you are strong can you avoid others' prying eyes and bullying.

Realizing this, Tang Shuxuan asked Yin Jun to come up with several excellent scripts in succession.

The last remaining film from United Artists is "Ghostbusters."

At that time, Yin Jun gave "The Genius Who Skipped School" to Disney and "Ghostbusters" to United Artists Film Company.

At first, United Artists Movies thought this was some kind of messy thing, but it was actually something weird. Could it be that the boss added those oriental elements into the movie, thinking that it would make a lot of money?

But there is no way, Yin Jun is the boss of the company, and he is a private boss. Anyone who does not do what he orders will have to get out.

Fortunately, Yin Jun's reputation is well known, and his reputation as the world's number one screenwriter is not just a boast.

Although the United Artists movie felt a bit ridiculous, they still followed what Yin Jun said, choosing the popular Eddie Murphy, the rookie Tom Hanks, and the powerful actor Morgan Ferry. Mann, and using the best production team to create this movie.

Because it involved a lot of special effects production, Industrial Light & Magic dispatched more than 20 special effects artists to help with the production, and the post-production alone took more than three months.

It was only at the beginning of December that it was completely completed, and it finally did not delay the Christmas and New Year schedule in early January.

However, in this case, the script given by Yin Jun will be used up again.

In 1982, United Artists Films produced 8 more films, but these films had mixed profits and losses, and together they only made less than 30 million US dollars.

This is less than a quarter of the profit from a "Terminator" movie!

"Terminator" earned 120 million US dollars at the box office alone, and subsequent video revenue has made even more money. Although it is not as exaggerated as "Saw", it has already earned hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide.

What company wouldn't want a script like this?

What company wouldn't want to have such a profitable movie?

It's a pity that the project of "Terminator 2" has not even been announced.

James Cameron wrote a script himself, with a total investment of only 5 million US dollars. He was ready to have a good time, and that was all.

If you say that he doesn't have the script for "Terminator 2" in hand, it doesn't matter if he only plays small-production movies. After all, it's hard to find good directors of the new generation in Hollywood.

But it happened that Yin Jun had given him the script of "Terminator 2" a long time ago, and James Cameron also liked it very much, but he insisted that the current technology could not support the script, so he insisted not to film it, so he quickly turned to United Artists Film The popularity is bad.

But who said James Cameron is valued by his boss?

Even Yin Jun agreed with his idea and let him do it by himself. What do you think the people below should do? What can be said?

However, this made James Cameron a little embarrassed. He proposed that after finishing the movie in his hand, he would take over a movie from the company next year at the latest.

After all, James Cameron is not a fool. He has just become famous, so naturally he cannot disappear from the mainstream film industry for a long time. He still needs good works to improve his status.

The book Yin Jun gave to James Cameron is called "Die Hard".

The first three episodes of this series of movies that made Bruce Willis a super-class action star are more exciting than each one, and it is really a success at the box office and word of mouth.

Although James Cameron loves to use muscular men like Schwarzenegger, the setting of "Die Hard" is obviously not Schwarzenegger's cup of tea.

Therefore, it is also convenient for Yin Jun to recommend actors.

Yin Jun is going to recommend Cheng Long to go there.

Bruce Willis's performance style is similar to that of Cheng Long, and Cheng Long is more courageous than Bruce Willis, and his temper is not so weird.

However, after Cheng Long left, he had to reduce some gunfight scenes and add more action fighting scenes.

This is also good. Americans are still in the craze of liking Chinese Kung Fu. Cheng Long’s humorous fighting style is most suitable for this period.

As for the issue that Cheng Long is not from Qilin Film Company, but an actor from Jiahe, Yin Jun doesn't care at all.

The two most capable superstars in China are Cheng Long and Jet Li.

It may be difficult for Jet Li's style to adapt to Hollywood, but Cheng Long has no problem. This has been tested in his previous life.

If Yin Jun wants to promote the development of Chinese films, he must not only care about his own people, but must also consider the resources of the entire Chinese film industry.

In fact, Cheng Long is not an outsider. Yin Jun has always liked this mainland-oriented superstar. By pushing him out, he is contributing to the export of Chinese culture - you have to know that when Cheng Long was 60 years old , when he went to a small European country, he was treated like a Hollywood superstar. Except for him, no Chinese filmmaker could get this treatment!

Foreigners all recognize Jack Chen’s signature!

Apart from anything else, just because Cheng Long only wears Tang suits outside and only promotes Chinese culture, this is worthy of Yin Jun's praise.

With such good resources and so many opportunities in this life, why can't Yin Jun push Cheng Long further?
