Chapter 1003： To make a big gimmick

Everyone can see good programs.

Those who specialize in variety shows naturally have the sharpest sense of smell.

"American Idol" is only broadcast in three episodes, and there are already TV stations and production companies in more than 20 countries to discuss the purchase of copyright with Kirin Group.

In fact, as early as in the sea election stage of "American Idol", some TV stations and the company came to discuss, but at that time they gave a low price, and came with the idea of ​​hitting the big luck, so Yin Jun let the company Do n’t pay attention.

Of course, the earliest time was in "Xiangjiang Idol". At that time, Baodao actively proposed to participate, and Japan and South Korea were also interested, but then Yin Jun was to ensure that "US. Idol's blockbuster block and rejected them.

Now is not a good time, or a best time.

Everyone was amazed by "American Idol", but in Yin Jun's view, "American Idol" was far from its peak.

When entering the top 16 and the top 8, the remaining elites among the elites, the masters among the masters, and everyone's stay can cause tears and sadness for thousands of audiences. The rate will definitely increase again.

"American Idol" will become a real cultural phenomenon because of this.

When people mention "American Idol" in the future, it will not be because it is an outstanding variety show, but because it is "American Idol".

The status and meaning of the two are completely different.

Therefore, even if the interests are to be maximized, Yin Jun has to wait until early December to enter a truly tragic life-and-death battle before he starts to negotiate with those TV stations and production companies.

The "Millionaire" that year brought Yin Jun 120 million dollars in copyright income every year.

This time, "American Idol" is far more entertaining and participatory than "Millionaire", and it can reach an overall copyright income of 300 million US dollars per year.

Apart from the copyright issue, the success of "American Idol" and "Beverly Hills Detective" has caused many media in the United States to exclaim, "Kirin Group has completely established its foothold in the United States. To challenge the six traditional Hollywood giants. "

Yin Jun didn't feel anything at all about the killing news.

If the media's boasting has reference significance, the word "effort" has long been absent in this world.

The teenager has a very clear understanding of the current situation of Disney and Lianyi Film Company.

Compared with the achievements of the years that Lianyi Film Company and Disney had just created, the Kirin Group is still not comparable.

Either of these two companies has a great history, but they have fallen under the tide of the times. This is a serious reminder to Yin Jun that everything is careless.

Before the development of several large series of IPs like "007", before leading IMAX and 3D special effects, and before integrating various entertainment media resources, these two companies are, at best, important forces in Hollywood, and It won't be the leader who leads the pack.

Even Yin Jun never thought that he could truly become one of the two or three most powerful companies in Hollywood before 1990.

The most important thing to do now is to continue to develop new movies, continue to make good movies, constantly improve the animation field and theme parks, and continue to use success to consolidate the foundation of Kirin Group's North American branch.

The status of "American Idol" in the Kirin Group is naturally much higher than that of "Beverly Detective".

This kind of 20 seasons can be done in one breath ... that is, a 20-year longevity variety show. Yin Jun also has to find ways to extend its life and increase its charm.

The champion of the previous "British Talent Show" has a very special honor.

That is, he (they) will go to Buckingham Palace to perform for the Queen of England.

The performance itself has no special taste, but because it is specially performed for the Queen of England, it will make people feel that Beagle has improved a lot and a sense of honor.

Yin Jun does not know what benefits the production company has given the palace, but this method can be used in the United States.

The White House in the United States has a reception every New Year.

At this reception, the celebrities who have made various achievements in the past year will receive an invitation from the President to participate in this New Year reception.

This is also regarded as the "high-level Spring Festival Gala" in the US version.

If the champion of "American Idol" can sing a song at this party, then Yin Jun would dare to advertise "The champion will sing for the president and his wife at the New Year"! !

In order to achieve this goal, Kirin Group has specifically invited a consulting company with a very close relationship with Reagan to actively communicate with the White House.

What price to pay Yin Jun does not ask, as long as it is not outrageous, Yin Jun will directly agree.

Such gimmicks and glory are not a little bit of the improvement of the big picture of "American Idol".

With such a gimmick of "singing for the president and his wife", "American Idol" may become the longest-lived variety show in the history of the United States-although it has been ranked in the top five in the previous life, on the influence It is already the first, but in Yin Jun's eyes, his "American Idol" occupies all time and place, and he can certainly go further.

Of course, this important gimmick is not such a simple matter. The US President will change every 4 or 8 years, and it is still two different factions. The maintenance effort that needs to be paid cannot be ignored.

But if it is too easy to complete, "sing for the president and his wife", can there be such honor?

"American Idol" is a long-term operation, but Yin Jun still has a thing to deal with in the near future.

That's the reward for the cast of Detective Beverly Hills.

"Beverly Hills Detective" had a staggering $ 22.3 million at the box office on the first three days of the weekend, directly exceeding its 12 million production costs plus $ 8 million in promotional costs.

With such achievements, it can be said that recovering costs and making a fortune in North America is no longer a matter of doubt.

The second week of Detective Beverly Hills, as everyone expected, continued its ferocious momentum.

Although it is the second week, because it is the off-season, it is rare to see a movie that can make a lot of money, so a lot of screens in several major theaters have been temporarily deployed, and Disney and Lianyi Film Company have also added in time. Copy, so Detective Beverly Hills did not go backwards, swept 28 million dollars in one go! !

At the box office for two weeks, it was US $ 50.3 million. Because the publisher is Kirin Group ’s own Disney and United Arts Film Company, so in fact, “Beverly Hills Detective” has already returned.

At the same time, because of the exceptionally strong box office performance in North America, Detective Beverly Hills has become the North American weekly box office champion for two consecutive weeks. The distribution cooperation work in Europe and South America has also begun in an orderly manner.

According to projections by Disney and United Arts Films, this time the North American box office of Detective Beverly Hills should have the potential to impact the height of 200 million US dollars. Once this number can be reached, it can immediately surpass the "Life and Death Speed" , Becoming the second box office record holder this year after "ET".

Two companies, especially Lianyi Film Company, regretted stomping their feet.

What they thought was that if Detective Beverly Hills was released next year and avoided the super big change of "E.T." x, wouldn't it become the champion of 1982?

It stands to reason that they actually think well. In fact, "Beverly Hills Detective" is the box office champion of 1984.

But this life is different.

"Detective Beverly Hills" will hit a truck driver and bodybuilding champion next year. In the face of "Terminator", which was born several years in advance, it may not necessarily be able to win.

The first part of "Terminator" in the previous life, did not even enter the top ten of the annual box office, and the global box office was only less than 80 million US dollars ~ www.novelhall.com ~ But this is not a problem of the quality of "Terminator", but the release Of Warner ’s did n’t pay much attention to this movie, and the number of theaters arranged for it was small.

But for the next few years, "Terminator" video rental has always been among the best, making a lot of money for Warner and production companies, so this is the birth of "Terminator 2".

Yin Jun gave the truck driver the greatest support. The script was much more detailed and detailed than he did. The production of the lens was not stingy with money. The final release will also give the greatest support. With the classic quality of "Terminator", At the North American box office that won't reach US $ 200 million, Yin Jun would feel like his failure.

Moreover, the reputation of "Terminator" and the charm of the pioneering robot era are far from comparable to "Beverly Hills Detective".

So Yin Jun arranged "Beverly Detective" in October this year, and "Terminator" is responsible for opening the IMAX battlefield next year!

"The Ultimate" does not say for the time being, "Detective Beverly Hills" has such a good result, Yin Jun naturally has to say something.

However, as a boss, it is naturally impossible for everyone to reward.

The objects he personally rewarded were the producer Brookheimer and the second Eddie Murphy.

After some consideration, Yin Jun wrote a two million dollar check to Brookheimer, and Eddie Murphy also received a 1 million dollar bonus.

Although Eddie Murphy is a signed actor of Kirin Culture and has a 10-year contract, he is firmly tied to him, but meritorious reward is the principle of Yin Jun's work, whether it is for Xiangjiang employees or the United States. Employees, even those in the Mainland.

As long as you can create more value, then you can get generous rewards. Don't say this kind of behavior style, it is naturally welcomed by everyone!
