Chapter 1345 Movie Plan

Yin Jun has watched many movies.

Basically, whether it is a good movie or a bad movie, as long as he finds it interesting, he will watch it from the beginning.

But later, after learning about the availability of rating tools such as Zhihu, Tieba, and Douban, Yin Jun began to read selectively.

To be honest, in the era of box office explosion, many mainland movies are actually unavailable to watch.

It is entertaining enough and topical enough, but it lacks a lot of things and is far inferior to what the filmmakers did in the 1980s and 1990s.

"Alive", "Yellow Earth", "Farewell My Concubine", "No One Less"... and other movies, it seems impossible to see them again.

As for the so-called literary films made by directors like Jia Zhangke, Yin Jun has also watched them, but most of them are definitely not in line with the public's aesthetics, and on the contrary, they are annoying.

Because they always like to talk about the things of those special eras over and over again, as if there is nothing good about China worth promoting.

Of course, this is also because foreigners like to see China’s backwardness and ignorance. In order to cater to the tastes of foreigners, these directors who disdain to associate with commercial film directors will naturally not make movies that Chinese fans will like. .

Yin Jun watches more American movies.

Don't think that the United States only has commercial films. In fact, their art films are equally outstanding.

Take Yin Jun's movies like "The Shawshank Redemption," "Forrest Gump," and "Bridge of Lost Dreams." Can you say that they are not good-looking and touching?

The standard for measuring whether an American movie is excellent is the Imdb top250 list.

Yin Jun has watched all the movies that made it into the top 250.

It contains not only literary and artistic films, but also commercial films, which can be said to be very fair.

Many of the precious good scripts in Yin Jun's memory came from it.

However, among the six scripts this time, Juvenile still focused on commercial blockbusters.

Hollywood film companies must not lack awards and art films that they can be proud of.

But if a company is addicted to this, its decline is just around the corner.

The painful lessons learned by United Artists Film Company clearly illustrate this point.

Therefore, the secret that determines whether a Hollywood film company can remain evergreen is to continue to make popular commercial movies and make big money.

Why is Disney so awesome in the future that it will directly become the unrivaled number one entertainment group in the world?

Isn’t it that their projects are all making huge profits, and the development of peripheral products has reached an extreme level, so they can be the only one?

Yin Jun is not so conceited, thinking that his group is good at everything and can do anything.

When operating in this world, you must respect the universal laws of the world and the laws of this industry.

Currently, for the two major companies, Disney and United Artists, what they are looking forward to and hoping for is, of course, more profitable series of blockbusters.

The first "The Goonies" given to Disney came from this.

"The Goonies" is actually a story about seven children fighting evil. It incorporates elements such as pirates, evil, comedy, treasures, etc. It is full of fun, so it is very popular.

Its screenwriter is Cross Columbus, who was the screenwriter and director of "Home Alone" a few years later, and the director of the first and second episodes of "Harry Potter."

It can be seen that "The Goonies" inspired Columbus to have his own ideas about children's comedies, which led to "Home Alone" that later made him famous.

In Yin Jun's memory, "The Goonies" seems to have been among the top ten box office works in North America in 1985, but it did not exceed 100 million in North America. It only exceeded 150 million when the box office in Europe and South America was added. US dollars.

Why was Yin Jun selected "The Goonies", which did not have a high box office?

It's simple, because this movie is very childlike. If conditions permit in the future, Yin Jun plans to put it in Disneyland and become a famous entertainment project, just like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lion King" It’s the same as movie-themed rides.

The underground world discovered based on the treasure map is definitely very attractive to children.

I don’t know why this project was not completed in the previous life. It may be because the distribution company is Warner Bros., not Disney or Universal.

Universal has Universal Studios, and Disney has Disneyland. These two largest and most popular theme parks in the world are important tools for these two major groups to consolidate their power and development.

That's exactly what Warner Bros. is lacking.

The second movie is called "Pig's Head on the Street".

Speaking of this movie, Chinese audiences may not know much about it, but as long as it was filmed three times in one go, they know how excellent it is.

In fact, if we talk about another movie, maybe everyone will feel it more vividly.

"Dumb and Dumber".

This hilarious movie that made Jim Carrey famous is actually similar in content and format to "Pig Head".

It's just that "Pig Head on the Street" is more sensible. In the hilarious sound, it emphasizes friendship and grinding more, unlike "Dumb and Dumber" which is purely nonsensical. ——This is why Jim Carrey said that he is very similar to Zhou Xingchi.

In comparison, "Pig Head Shopping" is more suitable for all ages, especially young people, and can convey positive energy to them.

Don't think that the United States doesn't need positive energy. They also encourage the use of excellent movies to influence young people.

Basically all the movies Disney is making now are movies like this, which is in line with their long-standing positioning of "teenagers' best friends."

In fact, in the previous life, the Disney Group has become the world's number one entertainment group. In the movies produced by the Disney Company, you will never see the existence of blood, pornography, violence and other factors.

Their subsidiaries such as Touchstone, Marvel Studios, and Miramax are the ones that produce movies that are not suitable for young people.

Yin Jun thinks their habit is very good and deserves to be praised and maintained.

Even if Disney covets United Art Film Company's commercial blockbuster revenue in the future, Yin Jun would rather give them one or two more subsidiaries than destroy the brand themselves.

Disney's third movie is "Three Dads and a Baby."

This is a type of movie that you can tell just by looking at the name. The whole movie revolves around three diamond kings and a baby girl to tell the story, from being unable to accept it at the beginning to gradually getting used to it, and then to a strong relationship. Family love... The film is full of warmth and fun, full of jokes but not vulgar at all.

It was also the box office champion in 1987, with a North American box office of almost 170 million US dollars, directly beating Eddie Murphy's "Beverly Hills Cop 2", which was very strong.

However, "Three Men and a Baby" is not original. The original version is the French film "Three Men and a Cradle" released in 1985. This film is also so funny and humorous, and it also received good reviews in Europe. evaluate.

Yin Jun wrote the script of "Three Dads and One Baby" 2 years ago, so he is the original author in this life. If France wants the copyright, it has to buy it from Qilin Culture.

The inspiration "Three Dads and One Baby" has for future generations is very meaningful.

I don’t know how many movies have started to use daddies and cute babies as gimmicks, and the box office has been quite good.

More than 20 years later, Cheng Long and Louis Koo also starred in a movie called "Baby Project", which is where the model came from.

In general, Disney's three movies are all about box office and word-of-mouth success, but when it comes to United Artists Film Company, it's completely different.

They just want box office, explosive box office.

So the first movie Yin Jun gave them was "The Fugitive".

right.

It was "The Fugitive" starring Harrison Ford, and it was also the first American blockbuster to be released in mainland China in the form of a split account.

It is based on the TV series of the same name in the 1960s, but the copyright was purchased by Yin Jun a few years ago and the script was rewritten.

This was the third runner-up at the North American box office in 1993, with a box office of almost 200 million US dollars.

Harrison Ford couldn't be said to be at his peak at that time, but the mature charm of a middle-aged man still allowed him to perform with ease and with great energy.

Especially the leap has become a classic shot in the hearts of Chinese people.

Yin Jun made this movie 10 years in advance, and he also wanted to give it to Harrison Ford. He is in better condition, and he is at the peak of his fame and ability. He will definitely be able to give a more satisfactory answer. .

Although Harrison Ford is a bit more expensive, it is still of great benefit to improving the overall strength and image of United Artists Films.

The second one is "Crocodile Dundee".

"Crocodile Dundee" comes from an Australian film company, but it created a miracle. It shot three movies in a row, with a total global box office of more than 800 million US dollars.

This is a story similar to Tarzan.

A brave country man who hunted crocodiles followed a female reporter to the bustling and impetuous New York, and a series of ridiculous stories happened.

The conflict between ancient and modern, simple and complex, simple and exaggerated...these are combined together to make people laugh and think deeply.

Generally speaking, it is also a very good series of movies from the 1980s and 1990s. It was the best decision to produce and release it in 1983.

The third part is called "Play to Kill" and it is a brain-burning movie.

It revolves around a story between several men and women, full of lies, deception and betrayal.

The plot is always reversing, and until the last moment, you have no idea what the ending of the plot will be.

Watching these handsome guys and beauties acting together, looking at their ugly hearts behind their glamorous appearance, is indeed a kind of subversion.

This is a movie that was only released in 1998. It was broadcast in 1983. This kind of brain-burning plot and layout will obviously make the audience more interested.

It will also expand the film categories of United Artists Films.

After all, "Play to Death" was filmed four times in one go, so one can imagine its popularity.

Taken together, in fact, what Yin Jun gave the two companies was not just three movies each. If you look at the sequels, there will be at least ten movies.

Hollywood is also the best place to develop sequels.

Once you own the copyright, and once you find that the popularity has increased again, you can continue to make movies no matter how old they are.

For example, the fourth part of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released more than ten years later.

The same goes for Jurassic World.

What Yin Jun is doing now is to provide one IP after another that can be derived for the two companies to shoot and develop.

But don’t think that’s a lot.

A Hollywood giant, who doesn't have hundreds or thousands of movie libraries and the same amount of copyrights?

If there is little foundation, it will be too easy to fail if you encounter setbacks.

MGM Films, which later acquired United Artists Films, although they owned the copyright to "007", they were too dependent on "007". In the end, once "007" failed to make them a lot of money, they would immediately be in trouble.

Therefore, MGM had the fate of being sold off three times.

In order for Qilin Group to develop rapidly and stably, Yin Jun needs to do a lot!
