Chapter 176： How to choose the script reasonably

When he came to the restaurant he had appointed with Hong Jinbao, Yin Jun really saw a man with a thick beard and a full beard standing next to Hong Jinbao.

Looking at him, it's older than the bald detective in the movie, but the shrewdness in his eyes is still very bright, and it's no wonder that in the shares of Xinyi City, he will be able to press his two good friends in the future. , Get the most shares.

It's just that he is a smart person, but he doesn't have enough atmosphere and selfishness, so in the end he is also the fuse that led to the collapse of the new art city.

If it weren't for the seven art monsters of Xinyi City, when the Xiangjiang movies of 91-95 were the craziest, Xinyi City could definitely shine and continue to lead the trend of Xiangjiang's movies.

But there is no such thing as the collapse of Xinyi City is not a simple matter. There are too many internal factors and external factors that pile up together. This makes the movie company that has dominated the Xiangjiang film industry for almost ten years, and finally it is so light. Gone.

"Ajun, come, let me introduce you." Hong Jinbao pulled Yin Jun and pointed at the bald man. "This is Mecca, my good friend, and a good player in the movie. Sanmao and I are this year. He runs a film company together. "

"Mr. Mai, hello." Yin Jun greeted his extended hand.

"Oh, you just call me Jiajia." Mecca smiled, and almost couldn't see her two little eyes when she smiled.

The three greeted each other for a while, and when the wine and dishes were up, the buddy shut the door, and Hong Jinbao stood up with a large glass of wine.

"A Jun, Brother San Mao is asking for you today. Please give me a face!" Hong Jinbao smiled and dried a glass of liquor before continuing. "You can rest assured that Brother San Mao will not treat you badly. ! We all have money together! We have money together! "

"Brother Sanmao is kind." Yin Jun also took a sip of the juice in front of him and smiled, "I don't know when you want a book? I have been busy writing a TV drama book for Li and Heshi recently, and it will take some time to prepare. "

"We're going to make a movie recently, and about mid-December we can start a new project." McGahn replied, "If you can give us a book at the end of November, it would be great!" "

They wanted to make a movie, which Yin Jun knew long ago. This is "Mr. Zan and Find Qianhua", which was originally the sixth box office ranking this year.

Listening to this name is quite a mouthful. In fact, it is the story of Liang Zan, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner and martial artist in Foshan in the late Qing Dynasty, and a person named Chen Hua and a man named Qian Hua.

Basically, the bad guys who walked out killed the protagonist's master. Several apprentices joined forces to kill the bad guys, revenge the master, and retreat to the heaven.

Although this kind of story is old-fashioned, it is actually the most classic of all story categories.

Basically, martial arts novels, except Gu Long, Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng, are all written in this background.

Or it can be used as a bridge segment for fantasy novels, science fiction novels, and even urban novels that will flourish in the future, which is almost endless.

Thinking of Hong Jinbao, from June to December, he would shoot four movies in a row. Yin Jun sighed unknowingly, "So anxious to make a movie?"

"It's natural to work harder while you are young," Hong Jinbao said with a smile. "Unfortunately, I can't compare with others, so I can only win by quantity."

Speaking of the latter sentence, he was somewhat emotional, unwilling, and expecting.

Yin Jun naturally knew who he was talking about.

When "Snake-Shaped Hand" approached the three million box office, Cheng Long was his younger brother of Hong Jinbao.

But when "Drunken Boxing" sold 7.12 million and the box office of the foreign port broke through 37 million, it seemed to be even better than Hong Jinbao.

Although Hong Jinbao's background is deeper than him, he has established his footing for two consecutive years, but Hong Jinbao is not a fool. Naturally, he can see that Cheng Long's set is very flattering, and the audience likes it very much. He, sooner or later.

In addition, He Guanchang has taken Cheng Long as his son, and dug up Cheng Long's high salary. Jiahe's resources must be inclined to Cheng Long, and Hong Jinbao's resources will naturally be less.

So Hong Jinbao is now anxious.

After the filming of "Mr. Zan and Finding Qianhua", he wanted to rest more until the Spring Festival, but now that he has a sense of crisis, Hong Jinbao wants to make a good movie before the Spring Festival, let everyone see, he Hong Jinbao It is the boss of Xiangjiang Kung Fu movies.

Yin Jun is Hong Jinbao's biggest support.

In the past, Hong Jinbao felt that the most important thing in a movie is to rely on the person who performed the movie. It is not a **** plot. Those revenge for the father, Kuangfu justice, humiliation and growth, etc., are all the usual routines. Whether the movie looks good or not at the end depends on your performance.

But when he saw that "Bao Qingtian", "Wulin Gaiden" and "Chu Liuxiang" were successively hot, then Yin Jun made himself "Ghost Fighting Ghost" and also created the highest record of his box office. All of a sudden he cares about the importance of the script A lot.

Especially when Hong Jinbao knew that "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", which broke Xiang Jiang's record at the box office, was actually a script written by Yin Jun, he was even more determined that "want to become the Kung Fu leader again, you must find Yin Jun thought of a good book. "

When Hong Jinbao talked to his good friend and partner Mecca, Mecca was a little disapproved, but after seeing Yin Jun's so many auras, Mecca agreed to come with Hong Jinbao.

If Yin Jun is really capable, then take the book and shoot.

If Yin Jun is a worthy person, then this book investment Jiabao company will not participate, and let Hong Jinbao make it by himself.

Before Yin Jun came, he still didn't decide which movie to use for Hong Jinbao.

It ’s not that there is nothing suitable for Hong Jinbao, let alone anything else, Hong Jinbao ’s own “Scary”, “Eastern Condor”, “Beware of Little Hand”, “Owl and Dumbo” are all Hong Jinbao ’s own movies in the next three to five years , It is very suitable for him to act.

Not to mention the super classic "Five Fortune Stars" that will not be outdated after thirty years.

The Kung Fu movies of foreign movie stars are not without suitable for Hong Jinbao, such as Wu Yusen's "Ultimate Target" directed by Shange Yundun, Steven Siegel's "Qianlong Bangtian", Bruce Willis' "Tiger" "Golden Dragon", Giessen Stanson's "Destiny Express" and so on, Hong Jinbao's performances are all without pressure.

But Yin Jun still has to consider the issue of the times.

At this time, you filmed "Qianlong Hongtian" on the aircraft carrier against the radical rebels. That is a joke, there is no such condition.

Shooting "Ultimate Target" is a bit heavy, which is not suitable for the current atmosphere of the times.

"Eastern Condor" is a classic. Even Yin Jun can invite Cheng Long to come and let them perform with the "Seven Little Fortunes" team to make up for the regret that only Cheng Long did not participate in the previous life.

However, no matter whether they are Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long or Yuan Biao, their kung fu moves are not formed, or they are far from the peak, and the teams behind the scene, including Yuan Kui, Yuan De, and Yuan Bin, have not formed their own martial arts. The guidance system, the effect of the film can not be said to be inferior to the original version of 1987, but there is certainly no way to meet the requirements of Yin Jun.

In the 81-year box office of more than 9 million "lost family", Hong Jinbao is only a second protagonist. The first protagonist is his brother Yuan Biao, who is now in his favor. Now he is called Hong Jinbao to make green leaves, he must not do it-I myself There is no stable reputation!

"Scary" is not good, because "Scary" and "Ghost Fighting Ghost" are in the same vein. Yin Jun was there to consume the "Seven Wrong Love" too much, and the time is less than a few months. In the sequel, if you want to give Hong Jinbao's "Scary" script, it will inevitably make the audience feel tired.

Now that we count it, the appropriate ones are "Beware of Little Hands" and "Owl and Dumbo".

"Beware of Little Hand" is Hong Jinbao's 82-year work, with a box office of more than 11 million; "Owl and Dumbo" is his 84-year work, with a box office of more than 21 million.

Among them, "Beware of Little Hand" also won the honor of the best actor for Hong Jinbao.

"Beware of Little Hand" and "Owl and Dumbo" are both stories about a pair of scammers.

"Beware of Little Hands" is about a pair of scammers, and "Owl and Dumbo" is about a pair of scammers that you don't know.

"Beware of Little Hands" focuses on fighting thrills, focusing on "power", while "Owl and Dumbo" is interpreted in a more literary way, focusing on "wisdom".

Judging from the two films, Yin Jun likes "Beware of Little Hands".

Because the fight against "Beware of Little Hands" is very beautiful, Hong Jinbao and Chen Xunqi are both at their peak. Although there are still a lot of jerky, but it is definitely a sincere work. It is not outdated if you go back now.

In contrast, "Owl and Dumbo" was only the last time when Hong Jinbao rescued Lin Zixiang, the warehouse fight was a bit interesting, including the group of boys and boys riding bicycles. The dazzling appearance of the women was also very interesting, and the rest was still Based on the plot.

The reason why "Owl and Dumbo" was higher at the box office was partly because the movie was produced by Mr. Pan's Debao Company. He strongly recommended his beloved Malaysian beauty Yang Ziqiong, so it was released on the Shaw's theater line and other movie theaters. The number is large, and there is a burst of publicity, coupled with the average price of movie tickets from about 12.3 yuan in 1982 to about 16.8 at the end of 1984, the box office is much higher.

Originally Yin Jun preferred "Beware of Little Hands" because Hong Jinbao was in front of him, and Chen Xunqi was also familiar with Yin Jun.

But now seeing Mecca, Yin Jun is more inclined to "Owl and Dumbo".

Compared to the funny skills, Mecca is definitely more powerful than the original Lin Zixiang. The reason why Lin Zixiang appeared in "Owl and Dumbo" is because of his influence in the music world at that time, which belongs to fans who want to attract him. Came to watch the movie, only to find him starred.

Thoughts passed by.

Looking at Hong Jinbao's expectant look, Yin Jun said: "Brother Sanmao, if you let me say, now you need a movie that can break through your way and let you be not limited to kung fu stars."

"No effort?" Hong Jinbao froze for a while, "What did you shoot?"

"It's not completely unnecessary, but Kung Fu is obviously not the most important thing." Yin Jun said, "You see Hollywood stars, the reason why they become superstars is because they are not limited to one theme. If it is limited to Kung Fu, wait until you are old, What should I do? Can I still be a tiger at 60? "

Of course, Yin Jun would not be stupid enough to tell Hong Jinbao that in fact, he and Cheng Long, two brothers, were very lively when they were 60 years old.

The two are just very special examples, not universal.

Hong Jinbao thought about it for a while and thought thoughtfully: "But the audience is accustomed to my fighting scenes, and suddenly the style changes a lot, will you not get used to it ..."

Yin Jun knew that Hong Jinbao wanted to ask whether a sudden change in style would affect the box office.

He said flatly, "Of course not, your fight will continue in this drama, but the storyline is equally important, so that people will not forget what you played after going back to watch the fight."

"That's not bad." Mecca interjected. "The plot is always the most important, but how about it, Ajun, you have to give us the story, we don't know if we can do it."

"A Jun's script still needs to be said? If you write it, give it to me! Since you are so conscious and want to expand the play for me, then I will definitely work hard." Hong Jinbao's words are different from Mecca, direct Just settle the matter.

Hong Jinbao's boldness surprised Yin Jun.

It seems that Hong Jinbao's success is not all because he took the lead.

"The script is prepared for two protagonists." Yin Jun smiled and said, "Of course the first protagonist is Brother Sanmao, this second protagonist, I haven't figured out who will appear before, but today I saw Jia Ge, I think he's a good man to be No.2. "

"Me?" Mecca pointed at himself in surprise.

Mecca is actually one of the best in the Xiangjiang film industry.

He is far less old-fashioned than his appearance. Others studied in electronics majors in New York. After working, they studied in the film and art departments of New York University.

This is why he was able to come up with the "best partner" full of high-tech imagination at the time.

Even if there are some spoofs, the imagination is definitely not what the people of Xiangjiang at that time could think of.

So everyone looks very new, so as soon as "Best Partner" comes out, it basically locks the box office champion, which makes people unprecedented, and there is a reason.

It's just that since Mecca returned to Xiangjiang, he has been working as a film director and has never performed.

He knew that his image was not good enough, so he never thought about it.

"Yes, Jiage, you don't look serious on your face, but if you let yourself have an exaggerated look, it will bring a comedy effect, which is most suitable for partnering with Sanmao." Yin Jun said, "No matter How about it, when I get the script, you can try it first, if not, let's change people. "

"it is good!"

Hong Jinbao agreed to Mecca.

"That's because I am busy now, and I can't come alone. If I can't get it to you at the end of November, I can only be sorry." Yin Jun said this at this time, "but I will do my best."

"A Jun, I'm also anxious for your brother Sanmao! Isn't Jiashi and Li's already a few TV series being filmed? What are they anxious about!" Hong Jinbao was immediately anxious. Is it easy to write the episode ’s TV script? You should do me a favor and get it early! "

"Movie scripts are actually harder to write than TV drama scripts." Yin Junzheng said: "And I am not very familiar with many of the customs and customs of Xiangjiang. I need to find someone to understand it, and consult professional people. In order to write these plots well. Otherwise, it ’s not my fault if the movie is not good? "

Hong Jinbao was in a hurry there, but Mecca got a good idea, "If we help you save time, let a movie writer who knows Xiangjiang help to improve the content of folk customs ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Is that right? Can it be speeded up? "

Finally got it!

Yin Jun smiled in his heart, but his face was stunned for a while, and he immediately said: "If a professional can discuss it with me, it would be good."

"That's all right!" Mecca nodded. "I have a friend. I'm a very capable person now as a screenwriter. I will bring him over to meet you in two days. You can use him as an assistant. Let him assist you in completing this script. "

"Being an assistant?" Yin Jun shook his head again and again, "Okay."

"What's wrong? American movies are like this. The screenwriter takes out the script and makes the following people perfect. Then it is still the work of the screenwriter." Mecca said, "You are already one of the best gold writers in Xiangjiang, he It ’s his blessing to be able to learn from you! It ’s your blessing for the copyright, you just have to pay him a little hard work! ”

"Where can I get A Jun to pay the hard work?" Hong Jinbao said happily next to him, "We'll pay for this money! A Jun, your most important thing is to get out the script early, Brother San Mao is waiting to be famous!"

In order to allow Yin Jun to write a good script early, he is naturally willing to pay more.

And with a screenwriter familiar with Xiangjiang's situation to assist Yin Jun, it will be more reasonable in the design of the plot.

It can also be seen from this point that Yin Jun is very serious about the script.

Therefore, Hong Jinbao is more at ease.

A scriptwriter who only writes a script for money and a scriptwriter who writes a script for a good script are completely two concepts.

Thinking that he would soon have a good book, Hong Jinbao couldn't help laughing.

But he did not know that Yin Jun was more satisfied than him.

Huang Baiming, in order that you don't want to make those boring money films in the future and become a real gold screenwriter, you should follow me and polish for a few years!
