Chapter 1194 The final curtain call

Shaw Brothers Films are about to close!!

The news that Liang Jiahui knows spreads all over Xiangjiang every two days.

Even those who haven't paid much attention to Shaw Brothers movies for a long time have heard of this news.

So when neighbors meet, they can't help but sigh and think back to the past.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past thirty years, Shaw Brothers movies have had an indelible impression in the lives of people in Hong Kong.

Because it is the king of Xiangjiang movies and the pride of Xiangjiang movies once.

Although Shaw Brothers has been doing worse every year in recent years, and the people of Xiangjiang have also scolded them a lot, everyone always has the illusion that "Shaw Brothers will soon cheer up and regain their strength."

But what is waiting for is Shaw Brothers preparing to close its business, so why don’t everyone feel lost?

But, it's not just bad news.

For example, Shao Liuye said in newspapers, magazines and TV in a high-profile manner that in order to give back to fans in Xiangjiang and even around the world, Shaw Brothers Movies specially asked the gold medal screenwriter Yin Jun for three scripts, striving to make everyone have enough food for the last meal without leaving any regrets!

As soon as he said this, everyone became interested.

As we all know, Yin Jun is unwilling to give Shaw Brothers scripts, and even criticizes Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system.

But now that Shaw Brothers is about to close the door, Yin Jun still ignores his past grudges and is willing to give Master Shao Liu a face, but this is also a sign of affection and righteousness.

The movies that Shaw Brothers has released in recent years are really hurting the hearts of movie fans, but unexpectedly, they finally got such a beautiful move, which immediately made people feel impressed.

But many people in the Xiangjiang film industry cannot believe it.

With Mr. Shao's character and Yin Jun's scripts so short and high-priced, can he buy three movies at once? And when Shaw Brothers is about to close down?

No!

It doesn’t look like Mr. Shao’s personality!

However, they never thought that these scripts were given to Shao Yifu by Yin Jun, and Yin Jun didn't even tell Le Yiling about this.

Shao Yifu believed in Yin Jun's character. Yin Jun said that he would not disclose it, so he neatly used the high-priced script as a gimmick.

This has of course attracted the interest of Xiangjiang movie fans.

It is Shaw Brothers' curtain call and a script created by Yin Jun himself. When these two are combined, they must be read!

Moreover, Shao Liuye also released a news that these scripts are not limited to Shaw Brothers actors. As long as they are good actors, they are welcome to come and play.

Wow...

Everyone was excited all of a sudden!

Yin Jun’s script!

The script of Yin Jun who is popular will be the one you catch!

If I can star in the role or even become the protagonist, then wouldn’t I be released in the future?

For a time, there were so many resumes sent to Shaw Brothers Movies, and the phone calls from a group of senior executives of Shaw Brothers Movies were almost blown up by groups of stars.

Not only that, they also make a name for themselves in newspapers, magazines and news.

"I came from Shaw Brothers. At this last moment, I am willing to contribute to my old boss."

"Uncle Six, as long as you need me, just a phone call and just take care of the lunch box!"

"I grew up watching Shaw Brothers movies. Now that I have such a good opportunity, let me repay Shaw Brothers. I am willing to play a role!"

"Nothing is more sentimental than this, but I hope to give Shaw a best curtain call than sadness. I am a decent person and a villain, and I don't choose the role!"

"Haha, everyone is here to join in the fun, how can I miss it? Boss Shao, do you think I am okay?"

Liang Jiahui saw that everyone was so excited, and he didn't feel that he was laughing in his heart.

Do you really believe that Shaw Brothers will openly select actors?

I have already decided on the male lead of the next movie, and God knows if the other two are like this.

Master Shao Liu just found a gimmick to fool you fools to use this to make a big fame and make a lot of money!

Yin Jun also saw Shao Yifu's hype, so he certainly wouldn't tell others that Shaw hasn't even got the script now, so how can he choose an actor?

However, Yin Jun already knew which movies to give to Shaw Brothers.

Originally, he wanted to throw "The True Color of Heroes" out.

Anyway, Wu Yusen and Yin Jun don’t like it very much, and Zhou Run found that he didn’t need "The True Heroes" to add luster to himself, and Di Long even went to film "The Wind Rescue". Think about Liam Neeson, how popular they have after they make a comeback?

The last Zhang Guorong is the one who needs the least fame.

In recent years, Zhang Guorong can be regarded as a top-notch singer in Asia. If Deng Lijun is excluded, he will be the number one in Asia.

Now Zhang Guorong is worried that he will follow his paparazzi everywhere when he goes out. Going to other countries often causes big congestion, and he also wants to be less famous.

So even if Yin Jun wants to film "The True Heroes", he will not find the original cast, so throwing this movie is not a big deal.

Although "The True Heroes" is known as the first of the top ten movies in Xiangjiang and is ranked higher than "Infernal Affairs", in Yin Jun's eyes, it is just that. There are many good movies later, so you can't treat it so great because of this outdated ranking.

Not to mention "The True Color of Heroes", the second-ranked "Fairy Tale of Autumn", isn't it the same?

Yin Jun didn't care much about it.

In comparison, the movie "Youth" filmed by Feng Biaoya, the "Hawthorn Tree Love 2" filmed by the national master, or "Return", are all very good and can better export Chinese culture.

But in a sequel, "Invincible" has little significance to the people of Xiangjiang. It is destined to be a type they like very much. So after thinking about it over and over again, Yin Jun was still ready to stay and hand it over to his own film company for filming.

In the end, Yin Jun decided to give Shaw three movies to "The Frog Prince", "Detective Chocolate" and "Flying Over the Future".

Needless to say, the movie "The Frog Prince" is enough to know that it is a movie written by Wang Jing himself and completely laying his own style.

It was from "The Frog Prince" that Wang Jing learned to make movies in a nonsensical way with funny beauties. Eighty percent of the movies he made in his life were of this type.

Of course, it is very good to be listed by him as the pioneering work. In fact, "The Frog Prince" is also the tenth box office in two years later, with a box office of almost 20 million yuan.

In today's market, I have never seen such an audience, and I will definitely buy it.

Moreover, Yin Jun's script is much more detailed than Wang Jing, and he does not act like Wang Jing when choosing actors.

Like Yun Piaopiao, she is obviously a proud royal sister, so how could Guan Zhilin play the role?

Guan Zhilin should have a role with Zhong Chuhong. She will play Amei and Zhong Chuhong will play the role of Royal Sister, so that she can have that kind of flavor.

However, because of the characteristics of Wang Jing, the little fat man, there were many bikini shots on the Hawaiian beach at the beginning. Yin Juncai was reluctant to let others see the girl's figure, so Guan Zhilin would definitely not be able to star in it.

Another actor who starred in the kitten is Zhang Manyu. She will return to Xiangjiang this year, but where will she find her for a while? Moreover, Yin Jun doesn't like Manshen, who has a little experience in acting.

So Yin Jun just designated the director Wang Jing, and neither Zhong Chuhong nor Guan Zhilin recommended it. Such funny movies are a bit worse if you shoot too many women.

The original author of "Detective Chocolate" is the Xu brothers and one of Xu Guanwen's representative works. It basically continues his usual screenwriter style and has a sense of absurd life comedy like a small person.

In this era, before Xiangjiang became impetuous, the comedy films of the cold-faced laughing craftsman Xu Guanwen were still very attractive to the hearts of the people. Therefore, "Detective Chocolate" also surpassed "North and South Shaolin" in 1986 and became the fifth largest movie in Xiangjiang's box office, with a box office of about 22 million yuan.

Of course, Yin Jun also made some adaptations of "Detective Chocolate". For example, Chocolate is not as old as he writes. He believes that Jiang Dawei can completely replace Xu Guanwen. This elegant martial arts star has also been transforming in recent years, so Chocolate, a weak and a bit daydreaming role, is just right for him to play.

Xu Guanwen is not that crazy in the plot arrangement, but those cold jokes are not so easy to arouse people's enthusiasm, especially now that the blockbusters produced by Yin Jun are constantly attacking.

Therefore, Yin Jun instead added a few plots that Fatty Wang often used.

I just hope that before the era of "produced by Wang Jing will be a bad movie" comes, the audience will buy it more.

Whether it is "The Frog Prince" or "Detective Chocolate", even if Yin Jun's script and Shaw Brothers' closure gimmick, their box office potential is between 25 and 30 million.

Such a result is not very consistent with Yin Jun's strength. Master Shao Liu was probably a little muttering in his heart, thinking to himself: Are you perfunctory, right? You can't excel if you don't have money, right?

Therefore, the most important thing in the three movies is the third movie "Flying Over the Future".

"Flying Over the Future" is not a Hong Kong movie, but an American movie, the work of the future actor Tom Hanks.

Overall, this is a story about a little boy suddenly growing up and facing the world as an adult.

In fact, there is also a mainland Chinese version of this movie. It was remake in China in the 1990s, and the plot was not even changed much. It also happened that the plot was about working in a toy company when they grew up. However, the movie was too restricted and did not consider being down-to-earth in China. Chinese people do not have the humanistic concepts like Americans, so they did not cause any sensation in the end.

But the original "Flying Over the Future" is very powerful. Not only does it have a good reputation, it makes Tom Hanks a young idol of a generation, but it also won the fourth place in the US box office in 1988. It has won 11.5 billion US dollars as a drama film, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a fame and fortune.

If they can make a lot of money in overseas distribution with "Flying Over the Future" to Shaw Brothers, Yin Jun has an explanation.

Because it is a drama film, the requirements are not very high in terms of venue, identity, plot, etc. As long as the male protagonist has a good taste and good acting skills, it is enough to deal with it.

Zhou Runfa, who had a childlike performance in "God of Gamblers", was originally very suitable for this role, but now Zhou Runfa is so tall and is also the Cannes movie champion, so it is not appropriate to act in such a movie.

So Yin Jun thought about it and recommended Liang Jiahui to act. In terms of acting skills, ability, and age, he is the most appropriate one.

Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua are obviously more suitable in appearance, but their acting skills are still very deficient and cannot change smoothly in the mentality of children and adults.

With Yin Jun's eyes on people, Shao Yifu would definitely agree.

After all, he no longer wants to make movies. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity to make a big profit and invest in his own TV dominance!
