Chapter 1282 Chapter 128.9 Only an Idiot Leaves!

"The X-Files" started airing on November 2nd and has been airing for a month now, with a total of 4 episodes.

Like the original time and space, "The X-Files" swept the TV series of the same time period as soon as it came out.

The first episode had 36 million viewers, the second episode went up to 40 million, and now that the fourth episode has been aired, it has 48 million viewers.

No marketing expert believes that the end of "The X-Files" is now.

In fact, everyone believes that the number of viewers of "The X-Files" should be maintained at least around 55 million. If it does not collapse later, the average number of viewers of 60 million may not be able to have a impact.

If it can really reach 60 million viewers, then a magic drama will be born. It will rank third behind "Feng x Doctor x Nurse" and "Happy Hotel" and become the third TV drama of the year.

Good guy!

If this really happens, then among the top three TV series in North America, two will be from Disney TV Channel, which is really scary and enviable!

Even ABC was panicking for a while. No matter what happened, there would be no problem if Disney TV Channel directly established a TV network.

By then, the value of ABC will be greatly reduced.

At this time, in addition to worrying that the Disney TV Channel was too strong, they also regretted that they had given talents like Robert Iger to Disney so easily.

Now Robert Iger is doing well in the Disney TV Channel and making rapid progress. He has become a troublesome problem for ABC. I really regret it!

Let’s not talk about ABC’s reaction for now.

As the creators of "The X-Files", Yu Yunchang and Chen Xunqi are now very famous in the American entertainment industry.

Of course, this is not to say that one show will make you a god, because before "The X-Files", they already had a very amazing "Saw".

"Saw" is not only a model of small and big at the box office, but also has a very good reputation, which is also reflected in the video rental market.

10 million "Saw" videotapes have been sold worldwide.

Calculating based on the price of a video tape of about 30 US dollars, the total sales volume is 300 million US dollars!

Hollywood giants like United Artists will never accept buyouts from video chain stores and businessmen. They all choose to share the profits.

Calculated according to the share ratio, even after deducting all taxes, etc., there will still be a net profit of 30%, which is 90 million US dollars!

This amount of money is not far behind the net profit from the entire box office of 387 million US dollars.

Moreover, video tapes are sold for a long time. It is not a problem for a good video tape to sell for more than ten years - the video tape of "The Godfather" has been sold for thirty or forty years, and many people buy it every year!

The box office is great, and the video tape market is also thriving. With such good results, the second part of "Saw" has already begun to be developed, waiting for Yu Yunchang and Chen Xunqi to start preparations.

A super hit movie.

A super popular TV series.

With two consecutive successes, there is no doubt that Yu Yunchang and his partner Chen Xunqi have entered the attention of many people.

For example, Paramount Vice President Michael Eisner, who has always been uncomfortable with Yin Jun, wanted to treat the two of them to dinner today.

Orientals pay more attention to details and think more than people in Europe and America.

Yu Yunchang and Chen Xunqi have been in Hollywood for more than a year. Of course, they know the situation of Qilin Group in Hollywood.

Basically, it was resisted and isolated by the other six giants.

That is to say, Yin Jun was strong enough that the Hollywood giants had no way to suppress Disney and United Artists Pictures, so he persisted.

They are not young people in their teens or twenties, nor are they young boys, so of course they will think a lot.

When Michael Eisner invited them to dinner, he must have wanted to get in touch with them and see if he could poach them.

First of all, the two of them are indeed excellent directors and producers. If they go to work at Paramount, they will definitely bring something different to Paramount.

Secondly, poaching them will be a huge loss to the Qilin Group and will cause Yin Jun to lose his troops. This is killing two birds with one stone.

Poaching is very common in Hollywood, and the same is true in Hong Kong.

Yu Yungang and Chen Xunqi were not familiar with each other before.

They have been working together for more than a year. Because the two of them on the crew are Chinese, they must work together to suppress the people underneath and produce good works. Therefore, they have become very familiar with each other from the initial run-in. 's buddy.

It is of course easier for people who are alone in a foreign country to get closer.

Faced with Michael Eisner's solicitation, the two directly bought a table of braised vegetables and cold dishes from Chinatown, brought two dozen beers, and sat in the apartment rented by the company, eating and chatting.

"Lao Yu, what do you think?" Chen Xunqi had a drink with him before asking with a smile.

"Not very good." Yu Yunchang was not polite. He was always a very direct person. "This foreigner has bad intentions and has no good intentions."

"Then you refused directly?" Chen Xunqi asked again.

"What if you don't refuse?" Yu Yungang glanced at him, "Are you planning to commit suicide thousands of miles away?"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Xunqi ate a piece of pig head meat, "How is it possible? Do I look like such a stupid person? Why don't I care about a real golden guy like Mr. Jun? This foreigner is too self-righteous, so By inviting us openly, isn't this just giving us eye candy? Are you deliberately making Mr. Jun doubt us?"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Yu Yunchang frowned, "Do we need to call Mr. Jun?"

Yu Yunchang is an honest man, a stubborn and honest man, but this does not mean that he does not know how to deal with others.

If someone else intentionally alienated you, it would be really difficult to handle.

"No need." Chen Xunqi shook his head, "We just need to do our own thing seriously. Master Jun, doesn't he know about us? Others don't know how we succeeded, but we ourselves know that this success Behind the scenes, half of it is because of Master Jun’s good book!”

Yu Yungang agrees with this.

The script written by Yin Jun was really great. After careful study, they could only play on the basis of these two scripts and did not dare to change their basic structure.

If there was no copy of "Saw" and no copy of "The X-Files", how could they capture the hearts of European and American audiences?

"Besides, we are also from Xiangjiang after all. We all share the same roots." Chen Xunqi said, "If we defect to Paramount, what will the people in Xiangjiang think of us? Master Jun has praised us. We Just pat your butt and leave? No normal person would do that! So Mr. Jun won’t worry about us."

After British people go to the United States, it is easy for them to accept that they are Americans.

But the Chinese are different.

As long as you leave China, even if you change your nationality, you will still consider yourself a Chinese for the rest of your life.

As long as there are conditions, they will definitely want to return to their roots when they are old.

This is the nature of Chinese people.

Of course, the older generation of people in Xiangjiang are the same in this regard. When they come to places like the United States, they basically live in Chinatown. Even if they work outside, they have to live here.

Although Yu Yungang and Chen Xunqi are young people, their ideas are surprisingly similar.

"Then reject him?" Yu Yunchang looked at Chen Xunqi.

"Are you calling or should I?" Chen Xunqi asked, nodding.

"I'll fight, everyone knows I have a bad temper." Yu Yungang smiled, got up and went to the landline next to him, dialed a number, said a few words, and hung up easily.

"This guy got angry and asked me why I didn't even want to talk about it." After sitting down, Yu Yunchang drank a can of beer and said funnyly, "Don't he understand that as a good director and producer? , what we need is good works, not monetary benefits!”

"Not to mention that the money they received from Paramount is definitely not as good as Jun Shao's." Chen Xunqi continued.

Yin Jun's salary and bonuses to his subordinates are quite high.

Yu Yunchang and Chen Xunqi came to the United States to film "Saw". After the box office hit, the company directly gave them a big red envelope of US$2 million each.

Two million U.S. dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is 14 million. Which director in Hong Kong can get 14 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie?

And judging from the current success of "The X-Files", the salary they receive is not low at all.

Having money, having works, having honors, and being able to direct comfortably... How do you think they have to be idiots to give up everything in front of them and go to Paramount to start from scratch?

"Money or not, it's not that important to me." Yu Yungang said with a smile, "The first season of "The X-Files" will be filmed this month. "Saw 2" will start in the spring. The project is established, how are you going to spend the holidays?”

"I will definitely go back to Xiangjiang." Chen Xunqi said without even thinking about it.

"I won't go back. I will go to Europe for two months to learn their film technology." Yu Yungang said, "It's good to have money. You can go anywhere and do whatever you want."

"Hehe, I think so too." Chen Xunqi agreed, "It just so happens that real estate in Xiangjiang is plummeting right now. I'll go back and see if I can buy a villa for my parents. They have worked hard all their lives."

"Hey, if you say that, please help me pay attention." Yu Yungang said, "My parents and my brother have also worked hard. Now that I have money, I can repay them."

"Okay, then our two families can be neighbors again." Chen Xunqi said happily.

Chinese people like to buy houses when they have money. This is natural.

The housing prices in Xiangjiang have plummeted at this time, making them even aware of it in the United States.

Nowadays, some people are willing to sell better villas, such as those in Beacon Hill, for RMB 2 to 3 million.

With the income of the two of them in the United States, it is certainly more than enough to buy a few villas!
