Chapter 1271: back to the Future

Unlike other people in the 1980s and 90s, Yin Jun did not have a good impression of Americans.
After experiencing the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, after seeing the shameless behavior of the American people to break through the sky, there are not many Chinese young people who like the United States.
Instead, everyone thinks that their country is the best.
Even if it is not good enough now, with everyone's efforts, it will become better and better.
This is the kind of national pride that the Chinese in the 1980s and 1990s expected.
Of course, this sense of pride is not empty, but comes from real strength. After 2015, basically China's network technology has reached the world's first point, in terms of mobile Internet, there is no one Comparing the country with China, this is an important factor that supports everyone's national pride!
Having said that, in the Hollywood directors, Yin Jun appreciates Spielberg very much.
Because Spielberg is smart enough and very sensible.
Later generations have such a word to describe Spielberg.
"He is a great director when he picks up the microphone. When he puts down the microphone, he is an excellent businessman."
Spielberg is more than just making movies, he is also one-on-one in discovering new people and acting as a filmmaker.
When "Transformers" just started shooting, if Spielberg was not the producer, then it would be impossible to get so much money and so much publicity resources, and Michael Bay, who had already been on the street, would not have Such a good opportunity to turn over.
There is also a Jurassic World filmed after 20 years, and it is also a producer with Spielberg, so that the project can be successfully established, and finally the box office exploded globally.
Hollywood is prevalent in the producer system. In general, producers have much more power than directors. They are actually one of the investors in the film. They not only have the supreme power in the crew, but also participate in all subsequent profit sharing.
Spielberg's films as producers have at least brought him more than two billion dollars in income, which is more than he made as a director.
Of course, on the other hand, if Spielberg is not so talented, he cannot be a director and producer, and he can't make so much money.
Finished shooting "Juneau", just the next day, Spielberg took a young man to the Disney post-production studio.
Said that he is a young man, but he is not really young anymore. He looks like he is in his thirties, his glasses are wide-faced, and he looks a bit mature.
Just sat down in the coffee shop, Spielberg had not introduced it yet. After looking at the young man for a few glances, Yin Jun actually recognized him.
"Ajun, let me introduce you to a friend." Spielberg took a sip of coffee and said to Yin Jun: "His name is Robert Zemigis, a very good screenwriter, and I have collaborated on several movies. "The" 1941 "and" Eryu Xie "are both his works."
"I've seen these two movies, very good scripts!" Yin Jun smiled and extended a hand to Robert Zemigis, "I'm glad to meet you."
"Me too, Mr. Jun! I am your fan." Robert Zemigis stretched out his hands in a little excitement, holding Yin Jun's hand: "I have read all your novels! In this world, I have The novel you write is bound to be more exciting! "
His hands were a little trembling, obviously not just a polite set.
Everyone who calls Yin Jun "Mr. Jun" after the meeting is basically a fan of his book, or can have a common topic in books.
The same is true of Robert Zemigis.
He especially loves Yin Jun's novels.
Even the most controversial "Long Bridge Dream", he has repeatedly watched it a dozen times.
"Which one do you like best?" Yin Jun asked with a smile.
"" Forrest Gump "." Robert Zemigis thought Yin Jun was testing him and said without hesitation: "This novel has written all the society and all the life. I can recite any chapter in it. , From start to finish. "
Yin Jun smiled.
"Don't you believe it?" Robert Zemigis was anxious, "You just test me!"
"No more, I believe." Yin Jun pointed at him and at himself, "This is an intuition, thank you for loving it."
Perhaps Yin Jun's attitude is very sincere, and there is no perfunctory taste; or thinking of Yin Jun's identity, Robert Zemigis can only hold back.
But he didn't know that in "Forrest Gump", Yin Jun knew him better than him.
Because this Robert Zemigis, he is the super director who shot "Forrest Gump" in his previous life!
Although his pinnacle ends in "Forrest Gump", just like Coppola, as long as a "Godfather" is shot, no one in the world dares to deny that he is a true master!
In the same way, Robert Zemigis is also a great man who can write that good-looking version of Forrest Gump, which is not very good and has not yet been produced by Yin Jun. Filmmaker.
Especially the feather at the beginning, when it flutters in the air, it feels like a grind on the heart of the person, which makes people feel emotional.
This method of shooting is not a master-level film director and cannot be done at all.
Therefore, when Robert Zemigis said that he would fall back on "Forrest Gump", Yin Jun fully believed.
If it is not that deep understanding and continuous analysis of the significance of this book, how could Robert Zemigis shoot so well?
Is the same as Frank Darabont who filmed "The Redemption of Shawshank".
Otherwise, you think that just watching Douban and Zhihu's comments can make a movie feel so good?
……
Spielberg didn't mean to speak to him at all, as if the person hadn't brought him by himself.
After the two had finished speaking, Spielberg said with a smile, "Ajun, I know that your Kirin Group is developing, and you must need excellent talents, so I will bring Robert to you. You may wish to read the script. "
Zemigis quickly took out a script from the bag, and gave both hands to Yin Jun.
Yin Jun is also welcome, just take it and watch.
"back to the Future".
Ok?
"back to the Future"! ?
Yin Jun saw the name and then looked at Zemigis, then suddenly realized.
How did you forget that this famous director's battle for fame is not "Forrest Gump" but "Back to the Future"?
And "Back to the Future" was written by himself!
This 1985 box office champion in North America has crazed 210 million super classics in North America. Yin Jun has even registered it with the screenwriter union!
Now Zhengzhu'er is here, what should I do?
Looked at the script quietly and asked Yin Jun without looking up. "How long has this script been written?"
"I started thinking about it five years ago. I started writing three years ago. I didn't have enough inspiration in the middle and stopped it for a while. It was only completed last year." Zemigis said. The subject matter should not be suitable for the commercial market ... "
Spielberg sighed helplessly.
This honest child.
When I see the idol, I can't speak.
You said that your script was rejected by many companies. Doesn't this mean that the script has been appraised by many professionals, don't you think the standard is not enough?
This will reduce the impression points.
But Spielberg himself watched "Back to the Future", he thought it was quite interesting, even if you can't make much money, it is definitely not possible to lose money.
Originally planned to let Universal do the film, acting as a producer himself, participating in investment and scheduling.
Can turn to think, Universal's handwriting in the past two years is not big, I am afraid it will not be so easy, unless it is directed by yourself.
But now he has a movie he is conceiving, and he will definitely not give up his plan to direct this script.
So he simply came to Yin Jun to give it a try.
As Spielberg said, Yin Jun ’s company is making great strides in Hollywood and must have a capable director.
And those veteran directors have long been monopolized by the rest of the Hollywood giants.
Although there is no requirement on which company to film, if they want to make Yin Jun's movie, I am afraid they will be excluded from other companies.
Otherwise, Lianyi Film and Disney will not be so active in discovering new people.
That Brookheimer is one, James Cameron is one, and the director from Xiangjiang is also one.
If it weren't for them, I'm afraid that Kirin Group is in Hollywood, it seems very sad.
Only super directors like Spielberg do n’t care, because only Universal Films asks for his share, not that he asks Universal Films.
There is another reason. Spielberg feels that Yin Jun is a person who knows goods. With such an interesting script, Yin Jun will not be invisible or let go.
As Spielberg thought, then Yin Jun didn't speak, but slowly flipped through the not-so-thick script story.
The two thought that Yin Jun was reading carefully, but did not know that Yin Jun was weighing the gains and losses.
Is not to say that Yin Jun wants the right to sign the script. Since Zemigis has come up with the script, there is no need for Yin Jun to argue with him or even bring a lawsuit.
The most important point is that Zemigis is just a newcomer. Even if he is paid little for the director's film, and he does not spend much money on the copyright income of "Back to the Future", this is the dominance of the Hollywood giant.
If you want to learn online novels, if you have to keep your own copyright, others will ignore you.
After a while, Yin Jun raised his head and asked, "Mr. Zemigis, do you want to sell the script, or what?"
Zemigis looked at Spielberg. After the latter nodded, he said: "The script doesn't matter. I want to be a director. Please give me a chance!"
"Have you been a director before?" Yin Jun asked.
"I haven't, but I've been the executive director of several films, and Stephen has also studied several of his films." Zemigis quickly said: "I believe I can do well, because the script is written by me Yes, I know best how to express it! Please give me a chance! "
Spielberg said beside him, "Yeah, Jun, Robert is very talented, you give him a chance!"
Yin Jun smiled, then silenced for a moment, and asked, "Robert, how much budget do you want?"
Zemidis's surprise, excitedly said: "15 million US dollars is enough."
"I give you a budget of 20 million US dollars." Yin Jun pondered for a while, "but there are two conditions."
"You said! I promised everything!" Zemigis thought.
"First, the copyright of" Back to the Future "belongs to Lianyi Film Company. In return, I will give you 1 million for the screenwriter and director's remuneration, right?"
"no problem!"
Zemiggis nodded.
He is directed to direct a movie, a movie written by himself, of course, it is impossible to hope that he can still retain copyright, so how big a screenwriter can be treated?
"Second, Stephen ..."
Yin Jun looked at Spielberg, "I hope you come to be the producer of this movie, you will have a 3% North American box office share."
"I knew you would hit your mind on me." Spielberg laughed, "Okay, since the person I brought, I will be responsible for checking!"
When Spielberg's director reached this level, when negotiating with him, you didn't need to say anything about how much money I gave. People are not scarce. What they want is definitely the box office share.
Before coming, Spielberg must have considered this issue.
He was very satisfied with the conditions given by Yin Jun.
North American box office ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If it can reach 100 million box office, he can get 5 million US dollars.
According to Spielberg's knowledge of this drama, and the 20 million dollars invested by Yin Jun, the box office of 100 million should not be difficult.
The most important thing is that the producer is himself.
The producer has a great deal of control over the final editing rights. As long as the final editing is handed over to him, will the effect be worse?
He believed that Yin Jun also saw this and insisted on being a producer himself.
Too many directors in Hollywood, the filming is very powerful, but it fell on the editing.
For example, "Gate of Heaven", which previously caused the defeat and acquisition of Lianyi Movies, is there a big problem with the editing?
Spielberg knows best how to cater to the audience, so in his hands, you will not see anything happening that sacrifices the visibility of the movie for art.
"Since that is the case, then wish us a happy cooperation!" Yin Jun raised the milk tea cup in his hand.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity!" Zemidis raised his coffee cup, so excited that he didn't even notice that the coffee was pouring out.
"Hope we are a win-win!" This is what Spielberg said as a businessman.
The three cups touched together, and laughter rang all around.
