Chapter 604: Finalize "E.T."

A new author, who published two novels at the same time, has achieved such dazzling results in just half a year, which is definitely a remarkable achievement.
Readers just like it. The key is that some novel critics and columnists, without exception, highly praise and praise the two books, not afraid of Jun's pride at all.
With the bonus of the list, with the bonus of the critics, the reputation of the two books and Jun is even greater in an instant.
There are even a few well-known critics who have given Jurassic Park the title of "Best Book of 1980" in advance.
Therefore, after Henry Publishing Company launched Yin Jun's three novels in one breath, it immediately ushered in a hot sale.
Kant Henry was already very optimistic about Yin Jun's book, so all three books signed him a 20% royalty and premiered a contract of 1 million copies.
I originally thought that with the current fame, I would be able to sell three novels in a year and a half, but I did not expect that just after the news was released, the book sellers in various places in the United States came to the door and had to go 50-70. Ten thousand copies of inventory.
Then after the official launch in May, "World of Warcraft", "Song of Ice and Fire" and "Forrest Gump" ushered in unexpectedly hot sales.
As of June 30th, "World of Warcraft" has sold 390,000 copies, "Song of Ice and Fire" has sold 450,000 copies, "Forrest Gump" has sold 280,000 copies, and according to the current reputation The model can be sold out at the earliest two months, and sold out in up to three months.
Among them, "World of Warcraft" is most loved by young people, young people 18-25 years old is the main force to buy it.
"Song of Ice and Fire" is loved by 25-35 year olds. The strange changes, power disputes, and the appearance of various characters have made them want to stop.
In the last "Forrest Gump", the main audience is concentrated on the middle-aged people aged 35-50. The age that A-Gump experienced and the spirits he possessed can resonate in their view. Let them Emotion.
In fact, the age of the critics is at this stage, so they expressed their deep love for the spirit shown in The Forrest Gump, even more than the "Da Vinci Code".
As a result, many critics touted "Forrest Gump" and called it "the most touching novel of 1980".
What most critics sighed about was actually Jun ’s changeable creative style,
Jun can talk about so many different types of novels, and his strokes are sophisticated like a wise old man in his 50s or 60s, but he is only 18 years old.
If it weren't for Yin Jun, he had already been proved to be a genius, and so far no one has provided evidence that these books were written by himself. Everyone can't believe it.
But this is the case.
The book written by Jun is so touching.
The West has long had super geniuses like Mozart, so they also believe that geniuses like Yin Jun exist.
And the quality of the book itself is very good, which adds a great aura to Yin Jun.
In this hot June, even Stephen King is slightly less than Jun!
It's just that Spielberg rushed from the United States to Xiangjiang for more than just to give the platform to the treasure hunters.
In fact, the original Asian propaganda was not included in the plan, and Lucas did not expect this set.
It was Spielberg who had something to find Yin Jun, so he called Lucas by the way, and Harrison Ford also readily agreed to come to Xiangjiang to attend the premiere, which only made up such a luxurious lineup.
After a few chats, Spielberg shifted the topic to his own purpose, "Jun, after I finished" Avatar ", I also had enough rest. Do you think we should talk about the production of" ET " Alright? "
The script for "E.T." was given to him by Spielberg when he was filmed last year in Spielberg.
Then Spielberg wrote and modified the "ET" script in the process of shooting "The Treasure Hunter", and sent it to Yin Jun through DHL. Yin Jun sent his comments back to modify ... After so many repetitions, finally in April, the two jointly finalized the script of "ET".
However, when "E.T." was filmed, Yin Jun has not been relieved.
Even if Spielberg came to shoot, Yin Jun did not say.
Of course, according to the friendship between the two, if Yin Jun wants to find someone to shoot "ET" in the United States, it must be only Spielberg, because the script has his credit. After so long discussion and research, he I know how to shoot "ET".
But Spielberg worried that Yin Jun would find someone to shoot in Xiangjiang.
Although Xiangjiang is known as Oriental Hollywood, in Spielberg's view, there is absolutely no way to shoot "E.T."
Spielberg worried that Yin Jun blindly trusted his own people and spoiled such a good subject.
From April to the present, he waited for two months, but still did not get the permission of Yin Jun, so Spielberg couldn't wait and asked directly.
Not only to ask, but he is also prepared to strive for reason, take "E.T." in his own hands, and let him take full rights to shoot and supervise.
Yin Jun is a wise man. He naturally understands what he thinks about Spielberg ’s own strong demand for the promotion of "The Treasure Hunter" in Asia.
The teenager will not refuse Spielberg's request, but he has to worry about the details.
"Stephen, I know you like" ET "very much. In fact, in my mind, there is no second person who is more suitable for making" ET "than you." Yin Jun said, "But how to make it, I think I need to be careful. Consider it. "
"How do you think about it? Just follow our cooperation this time, how?" Lucas interjected beside him.
"No." Yin Jun didn't speak, Spielberg refused categorically, "Lucas Film's distribution ability is too poor, it is not good for" ET ", if you invest in it, it is okay, but as a distribution It ’s free. "
Faced with the resolute opposition of his old friend, Lucas shrugged and said nothing more.
Anyway, "E.T." was always talking between Yin Jun and Spielberg. He didn't intervene at all. If he can have the right to issue, it is naturally a good thing. If not, he is not disappointed.
As for investment, let ’s not mention it. George Lucas only trusts his own vision. Other people ’s movies are generally of little interest.
Especially in today's situation, he has the copyright of the two major series of movies "Star Wars" and "Raiders", even if it is done every other year, it can be done in turn after 10 years, short Don't worry about time at all.
Harrison Ford is also talking without drinking coffee.
He had already seen the screenplay of "E.T." when he filmed "The Treasure Hunter", and knew that this was a group of children and aliens.
"Jun, what details are you talking about? What do you mean by speaking? Let's discuss." Spielberg raised his hand. "Me and Lucas know a lot of people and should be able to help you. Busy. "
"It's not another question." Yin Jun pondered for a while. "First, when" ET "was filmed, I invested in the script and part of the funds as the original investment. The return I need is calculated at the box office, and This box office number needs to be notarized by an accounting firm. At the same time, the copyright of "ET" should belong to me. "
Spielberg had long thought about many problems. He nodded slightly and heard, "There is no problem with the box office. You can rest assured that no matter which movie company has its own rules of conduct."
Yin Jun laughed unconsciously.
Without supervised box office results, even a 500 million box office can be accounted for 300 million or less.
The Hollywood company, but even the money on Wall Street dare to deceive, every Yin Jun, there is no deterrent.
Yin Jun can believe Spielberg, but the problem is that Spielberg's guarantees for the seven major Hollywood companies are completely useless.
Seeing that Yin Jun did not believe it, Spielberg sighed, "Well, we will discuss this matter later. In determining the box office, I will help you to ask the accounting firm to ensure that they cannot make it bigger. The hands and feet. Then Universal Pictures is also my partner and should not overdo it. "
Spielberg said this, which proved more or less greasy.
But Yin Jun knows that this is also inevitable. Unless he is strong enough to become one of the Seventh in Hollywood, don't even want to change this rule.
"Okay, this is how it is done." Yin Jun nodded. "So, what about the copyright of" E.T. "?"
"The issue of copyright is actually very complicated." This time it was Lucas who said, "The most important reason why I can keep the copyright of" Star Wars "is because I am responsible for all filming related to conception, screenwriting, filming, editing, etc. Work, so the twentieth century Fox had to agree to my request to retain copyright, but the publisher of "Star Wars" must be them. This is equivalent to being bundled together. Jun you are a Xiangjiang, not yet When it comes to filming, I want to retain the copyright of "ET". I do n’t know how much harder it is than me. "
"Yeah, when you have no foundation in Hollywood, it is too difficult to retain the full copyright." Spielberg said, "If I am you, you can choose to retain half of the copyright, leaving Half of the copyrights are sold to Universal Pictures. Such cooperation is only possible. The prerequisite is that they do not know how good the movie "ET" is. "
"Do they know?" Yin Jun asked.
"Oh, I think it must be great, but I do n’t know what they think. After all, the director ’s idea is different from the company." Spielberg shrugged. . "
"I think about this question and give you an answer in two days." Yin Jun said with a jaw.
Even though Yin Jun did not agree, Spielberg's face was relaxed. In his opinion, Yin Jun did not object, which meant that he was not so resistant to sharing copyright with others.
There is no way out. Hollywood has never been a place of tenderness. This is a vanity fair, full of predation and cruelty.
If Yin Jun didn't find himself and didn't like the script of "E.T.", then at most Yin Jun would have to pay a small amount of money from the screenwriter. Don't think about what the box office is divided into.
Yin Jun's own thinking is actually similar to Spielberg.
Just as when Yin Jun wrote the first script "Bao Qingtian", Liu Tianci told him, you are nothing now, how can a TV station listen to your condition?
Only by struggling slowly, and with outstanding results, will you have the bargaining power.
The truck driver performed a classic counterattack to all the hanging film directors who made the movie. It cannot be said that Yin Jun learned from the example, because the two have different goals, but this is definitely a good reference.
In addition, Spielberg did not know that compared with "Jurassic Park" and "Song of Ice and Fire", "ET" is a hammer trade, only shooting such a film, there will be no In the sequel, derivatives are not a big hit, so Yin Jun can still accept the helplessness of the publisher's half copyright.
You said, let Lei Shidong do another temporary cinema line, will it work?
It may be possible, but with the current ability of Lei Shidong, he has won two big and big purple movie releases in succession, so he will be suppressed by the seven Hollywood joint forces. I am afraid that the giant will not be able to support Living.
After struggling in a dilemma, after gaining the benefits and prestige, it slowly settled down and developed steadily. This is what Redstone will do, not the provocative Hollywood giants.
So if Yin Jun looks for Lei Shidong this time, the effect will definitely not be as good as last time, and Lei Shidong will be embarrassed, which will damage the friendship between the two.
Although Lei Shidong is also an unrecognizable man, he has such a sentimental presence, which is better than nothing.
"The last question." Yin Jun said, "I don't have any opinions about the choice of actors, etc. But for special effects, I hope I can give this job to the digital field."
"Jun, you are so kind!" Lucas immediately expressed his opposition ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Your digital field is a grass-roots team. How can it be possible to do such important special effects well? My industrial light magic is the authority! "
"George, I know that industrial light and magic are good, but Stan Winston has called me many times, saying that they have no influential orders and have no chance to practice. What do you tell me?" Yin Jun reluctantly said, "When I bought their studio, I promised to let them develop more. As a result, they didn't do anything, so what are they still doing in the company?"
Yin Jun's words are half-truths, and the most important thing is of course to train his own special effects company, otherwise people will definitely get stuck in the neck when making movies in the future.
George Lucaston's breath was stagnant. He couldn't always say that, for his own company, he should let Yin Jun's own company do nothing.
Americans are sympathetic, but business is business.
"In fact, this is not difficult." Spielberg said, "I mainly look for Stan Winston, but if they can't do it, I will hand it to Industrial Light and Magic, how?"
Yin Jun hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay!"
Crafting can come slowly, but the production of movies can't be sloppy. If there are special effects that can't be done in the digital field, of course, better industrial light and magic will come out.
"So, in general, have we already negotiated?" Spielberg asked in a spirited way.
"Yes." Yin Jun raised the milk tea cup. "Stephen, I hope you can make a good movie!"
"Relax, I can shoot well!" Spielberg said confidently.
He has never been humble in areas he is good at.
