Chapter 1111 The boss wants to become a wage earner
The contact with Sophie Marceau was very simple. Last time she left a phone number for Yin Jun, and Yin Jun called her and told her.
Sure enough, Sophie Marceau was still a little interested in the role of the eldest lady of the Qiao family that Yin Jun mentioned. After listening carefully to Yin Jun’s plot, she agreed to star in the role.
As for salary and other things, this will be negotiated with her agency.
The reason why Sophie Marceau agreed to act was actually more because she wanted to change to different roles to play, thereby improving her acting skills.
In addition, Yin Jun is the most famous gold medal screenwriter in the world. It is a good decision to star in his movies and try out the production methods of Oriental movies.
Yin Jun had already written the script of "Fast Food Truck". After Hong Jinbao's reminder, he took the time to fill in the content these days.
But this was not his most important thing, and there was another thing that was imminent.
Yin Jun spent 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the United States to purchase land, build 100 cinemas, and purchase corresponding ordinary and imax playback equipment.
Now these cinemas are almost completed. One cinema will prepare three halls, two ordinary halls, and one ordinary hall that can be converted into an imax hall at any time. The final decoration and equipment debugging are being carried out one after another.
Although the two groups of people responsible for finding territory and purchasing construction came from Disney and Lianyi Film, because the theater chain is under the name of Qilin Group, it has nothing to do with Lianyi Film and Disney, so it will not violate relevant laws of the US film industry.
Originally, Yin Jun agreed to the two groups of them that whoever did a good job would play a dominant role in the theaters in the future.
However, after doing this, both sides did well, and each had their own advantages and disadvantages. Even Tang Shuxuan couldn't tell which side won.
And they represent two companies respectively.
Although Disney and Lianyi Film Company are now affiliated to Kirin Group, they have never been convinced by each other.
So in this new theater project, the two companies behind them naturally hope to be obtained by their own people. Although they will be separated and established separately in the end, if they are all their own people, wouldn’t it be convenient to do anything?
It is completely different from the movies produced by our company.
Since the end of December last year, the two gangs have been arguing endlessly. Tang Shuxuan had no choice but to leave it to Yin Jun to deal with it.
Anyway, the idea of competing for employment was also what this big boss thought about, so if there is any problem, he will naturally have to look for him.
Yin Jun also measured for a while and called Disney and Lianyi Film to find out the situation, but he still couldn't make the most suitable arrangement.
It's OK with either party, but at the same time, no party can enjoy it exclusively.
Seeing that the operation was about to be done, the group of people became more and more fierce, Yin Jun began to have another idea.
Since I am not satisfied with choosing either party, I will not choose one of you.
Just you are still responsible for half of the responsibility, and then I will transfer you a general manager from Xiangjiang.
Of course, Yin Jun put the candidate for the general manager on Wu Siyuan.
Since Yin Jun first met Wu Siyuan, he thought about letting Wu Siyuan help him in the future and be responsible for the theater.
When the film market became more and more prosperous, theaters were even stronger than film companies, so they basically decided the fate of a movie.
Yin Jun naturally won’t relax in this area, so he must choose the most suitable candidate.
In his previous life, Wu Siyuan opened UME International Cinemas in the mainland. Although the number of stores was only 20 to 30, it was still very prosperous and caught up with the good times of the development of the film.
Another curly man, Cen Jianxun, also colluded with others to open a Dadi Cinema in third- and fourth-tier cities in the mainland, which was much larger than UME. Moreover, Cen Jianxun was originally a theater in Xiangjiang, and his professionalism was much better than Wu Siyuan.
But Yin Jun doesn't like Cen Jianxun because he has a bad mental tendency and is the same type of person as Zhang Tingjian. For such people, Yin Jun just wants to tell them, you can go wherever you like and wherever you are willing to go, so don't stay in the land of our country so awkward and atrocity, it's not good for us.
Wu Siyuan has never worked in theaters now, but he has been a film company boss for so many years and has already known a lot about movies. He asked him to go to the United States to take charge of cinemas. One is to balance the voices of both sides, and the other is to let him exercise more. In the future, he can come back to Xiangjiang, the mainland and even the entire Asian theater chain.
He called Wu Siyuan over and heard Yin Jun talk about this to him, Wu Siyuan was shocked.
I am the boss who runs my own company. Although it is too small to be a small company compared to Kirin Group, how good is it to be a boss myself and can make a lot of money. How easy and comfortable?
I asked me to put down my company and go to the United States to help you manage a theater company. The key is that I have never done it before. This is a bit difficult, right?
But Yin Jun also has his own statement.
"Brother Yuan, I remember when you came to me to ask for "Dragon and Tiger Youth Team", I once told you that a small film company like you, which has no support from a large company and does not have any outstanding stars, will be more and more difficult to survive in the future." Yin Jun said: "Now Yongsheng has entered the market, and there will be more capital in the future. Can you still hold on?"
Wu Siyuan's mouth moved and wanted to say that I now have your script and a superstar like Fu Sheng, why can't it be possible?
But he is also a very smart person. He knew that Yin Jun said this to him not because he wanted him to justify anything, but because he represented his position in Yin Jun's heart. That's it.
Just when Wu Siyuan wanted to explain, Yin Jun said again: "I know, Brother Yuan, you have feelings for movies, but thinking about your future development should not be limited to here... Please help me manage the United States for two years, and I will still give you a movie a year for your Siyuan Film Company. You can also remotely control the command in the United States.
Then, I want to build a large theater chain in Hong Kong and Asia in the future. I am also planning to let you do this. At that time, the company's shares will definitely have yours. Even if we do our business together, wouldn't we feel more accomplished than making money by making movies alone?"
"Cinemas all over Asia?"
Wu Siyuan took a breath of air conditioning.
In the past, everyone thought that Yin Jun did not pay attention to theaters, just to make good movies, but he didn't expect his ambitions to be so great.
"How much does this cost?" Even though he was convinced by Yin Jun, Wu Siyuan couldn't help but say.
"It's not necessarily all our own theaters." Yin Jun explained, "Build a part of it yourself and win over it, just like the current model of Xiangjiang, you can set up a large theater. Of course, your own strength is the most important thing, and there is no situation where the cinema you join is stronger than us... You can study this matter yourself!"
Wu Siyuan's eyes hopped. It seemed that Jun Jun was unwilling to let him go.
But let him refuse in front of Yin Jun?
Wu Siyuan definitely does not have such courage.
No one in Xiangjiang can bear the consequences of turning against Yin Jun.
Even Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai are not good, let alone him as the boss of a small film company.
"Mr. Jun, can I ask why it must be me?" Wu Siyuan asked helplessly.
"Because I think you can do it, Brother Yuan." Yin Jun said, "You know, I have always been very accurate in my opinion."
Wu Siyuan was even more speechless at this time.
But he couldn't say that Yin Jun was wrong. Yin Jun had never missed this before when looking at people.
"Brother Yuan, you don't have to rush to make a decision. I will go to the United States in early February. You can give me the answer at that time." Yin Jun said, "But I must tell you that it would be a waste if you waste it on Siyuan Film Company in your life. Follow me to see the vast world and conquer more places!"
"I see."
Wu Siyuan nodded, "Of course it is my honor to be able to cooperate with Jun Shao, and I will make a decision as soon as possible."
Now there are not many days since February, and Wu Siyuan is full of depression, but he has no choice but to say it.
What Yin Jun said was not just a scene.
If Wu Siyuan really doesn't want to, then Yin Jun wouldn't force it, and the fruits that were forced wouldn't be delicious.
Besides, except for one Wu Siyuan, can’t we find another talent?
This may not be true.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Xiangjiang was always full of talents. Yin Jun was only good at discovering and cultivating, and he could still find a good candidate.
It’s just that Yin Jun has no interest in wasting time with experience in his previous life.
His real energy is still to promote Chinese-language movies.
1982 is just the beginning. In the next few years, Qilin Culture will continue to make efforts, making seven or eight or even dozens of movies a year, and working hard to open up the market in other places.
Especially in the Asian market, Yin Jun is the top priority for the future.
Although the European and American markets are good, their culture and heritage are different. Yin Jun has never expected that they can turn around and get close to oriental culture and be appreciated by them. This is already good.
But Asia is different. This is the place we have been working hard for thousands of years, and it is the easiest market to obtain and serve as the foundation.
This is also an important reason why Hong Kong movies have swept across Asia since the 1980s and became an important reason for Oriental Hollywood.
Because this market is easy to accept our Chinese-language movies.
But what Xiangjiang movies lack the most is the kind of long-lasting efforts and care. They only think about plundering and demanding, and never thought about construction.
So when they made the movie worse and worse and Asian audiences could no longer bear it, just then the Hollywood blockbuster came, a group of dinosaurs and a shipwrecked, and they hit the declining Hong Kong movie to the bottom and never got up again.
Thus, we handed over the entire traditional Asian film market to Hollywood.
Until 2020, mainland films had already begun to flourish, but they still did not recover lost territory.
Yin Junke doesn't want such a history to happen again.
Having a stable rear is so important to Chinese-language movies, this is something that history later proved.
Hollywood has not been so strong in recent years. They have not yet put the film industry to the level of assembly line, and are still exploring, which is just the time for Yin Jun to consolidate his basic foundation.
Showing out good works and constantly making them deeply rooted in people's hearts, leaving the mark of "Qilin movies produced must be fine" in the minds of Asian movie fans. This is the goal that Yin Jun must actively strive for.
As long as you work hard for more than ten years, even if Hollywood blockbusters are "brutally" or even Chinese-language movies still have a lot of room for survival in Asia.
Isn't it the same in the previous life?
Xiangjiang movies have been lonely for so many years, but they will still buy them very much when they see the names of Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Xingchi! 8)
