Chapter 1602 Husband and Wife Team Gold Medal Director

Kylin TV headquarters building, chairman's office.

In front of Yin Jun, two young men, a man and a woman, sat.

It seems a little wrong to say they are young people, because they are all in their thirties, but they just don't have that much experience.

Wearing glasses, they look very elegant, and you can feel the full literary style at a glance.

One of them is named Zhang Wanting and the other is named Luo Qirui.

Zhang Wanting is now a senior in the film department of New York University, while Luo Qirui has already graduated from the film department of New York University and is now Xu Anhua's assistant director and film screenwriter.

They met several years ago, when Xu Anhua was working as a director at Hong Kong Radio Station, and both of them were employees of the radio station.

But after that, Zhang Wanting went to the United States to study film at New York University, while Luo Qirui stayed in Hong Kong to develop his career.

Online news said that the two of them were classmates, but this was actually wrong.

Because in 1981 when Zhang Wanting was studying in the United States, Luo Qirui was the director of the TV series "Farewell My Concubine" in Hong Kong.

Unless he has the ability to double up, there is no way he can study in the United States and become a director in Hong Kong.

This year is Zhang Wanting's graduation year. In order to prepare a graduation film, she returned to Xiangjiang and looked for people to write the screenplay. She also wanted to find some funds to film.

Zhang Wanting naturally thought of her colleagues at Xiangjiang Radio.

Especially Luo Qirui, who has been in contact with him for so many years, has developed very well and is now well-known in the industry.

After the two talked about the story in Zhang Wanting's mind, Luo Qirui was also very interested, so he took over the screenwriting job.

But the issue of cost is a bit troublesome.

After much deliberation, they went to Xu Anhua for help, and then Xu Anhua directly recommended them to Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng also worked at Xiangjiang Radio, but she was not familiar with Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui. She and Xu Anhua were good friends.

After hearing the two people's request, Yu Zheng readily agreed to support them at the price of HK$1 million they requested.

1 million Hong Kong dollars is actually about 120,000 US dollars. It is far from enough to shoot a formal movie in the United States. If it is a simple graduation film, it is barely enough.

It happened that Yu Zheng and Yin Jun were talking about something yesterday, and they mentioned the sponsorship by the way, so Yin Jun said he wanted to meet the two of them.

Well, it's two people.

Luo Qirui plans to go to the United States with Zhang Wanting to help her film this graduation film.

The two of them had been communicating with each other through letters for several years, and now they had basically just broken the window, so in order to win the heart of the beautiful woman, Luo Qirui naturally had to take the initiative.

Zhang Wanting was originally preparing to return to the United States, but she was a little surprised when she suddenly heard that Yin Jun wanted to see them.

There are not many Chinese in the film department of New York University now, and they were quite looked down upon by others in the past.

But things are different now. When people see Zhang Wanting and the others, they will be very interested and ask, are you Mr. Yin Jun's compatriots?

After they said yes, these people immediately expressed their admiration and wanted Zhang Wanting and the others to teach them a few Chinese words and then learn more about the preferences of the Chinese people.

This is not to blame for being too snobby. Yin Jun’s achievements are really amazing. In just a few years, he has become the number one giant in Hollywood. How could these people who are preparing to work hard in Hollywood not be interested and not advance in advance? Learn more?

When encountering this kind of thing, Zhang Wanting and the others were full of pride.

yes!

How could a Chinese person not make everyone feel proud and proud of having accomplished such a great undertaking on the soil of the United States?

It can be seen that this is the first time for Zhang Wanting to see Yin Jun himself.

This was not Luo Qirui's first time. He had met Yin Jun several times when he visited Xu Anhua's crew, but he had not been able to talk to Yin Jun.

Sitting in front of Yin Jun, although Yin Jun always greeted them gently, the two of them still seemed a little restrained.

Looking at the number one husband-wife director in Hong Kong who is many years younger, Yin Jun felt a little happy.

He now has directors who make action films, ghost films, and comedies. Even Xu Anhua, who makes literary films, is still a master.

But who would object to having so many talents?

Just think of how many popular and classic movies this couple has made!

"Illegal Immigrants", "Autumn Fairy Tales", "Eight Liangs of Gold", "Song Dynasty", "City of Glass", "Thieves of Time"...

It is no exaggeration to say that Yin Jun has watched each of these movies more than twice.

Although they are both directors of literary films, unlike Xu Anhua's slightly dark films that point to the palest side of people's hearts, most of the films made by Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui are very soft.

They have a very delicate touch, and they express emotions and encounters with a touch of warmth, so the movies made by the couple are not only very stylish, but also relatively good-looking.

Unlike Xu Anhua, he was soft-hearted in winning awards, but his box office performance was never very good.

Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui cannot compare with Xu Anhua in terms of the depth of their films, but they can not only make the film beautiful, make the male and female protagonists perform well, win many awards, and make a small profit for the film company, this It seems very capable.

More importantly, the couple had shown goodwill towards the mainland in their previous lives, which is why Yin Jun wanted to call them over today.

Directors who are so close to the mainland must be greatly cultivated to make them more successful so that subsequent people can follow suit!

"Yesterday I heard from Sister Zheng that Miss Zhang is going to make a movie about immigrants. As her graduation work, I think this is very good." Yin Jun said to the two of them, "When it comes to movies, you can only use the best. Only with a pious attitude can you get the best results. If you can't do everything, you won't be able to produce high-quality products."

"You are right, Mr. Jun!" Zhang Wanting said, "In this regard, you are my teacher... For example, the script of "Autumn Fairy Tale" you wrote a few years ago feels very familiar to me, just like in my dream. It’s like thinking about these scenarios!”

Nonsense, this is the work for which you and Luo Qirui are truly famous.

Yin Jun smiled faintly, "Then we heroes really have the same vision!"

"Haha." Zhang Wanting smiled shyly.

"In the past two years, I have been studying the works you wrote for the American market, Mr. Jun." Luo Qirui said next to him, "Whether it is "Mother and Daughter" and "The Little God's Daughter" shot by Sister Tang and Miss Lin, or Your own shots of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Rain Man" are full of human care, but they are also interspersed with some unique charm of our East. When combined in this way, the theme is clearly highlighted. , very layered!”

Luo Qirui is a screenwriter himself, and will also be a very famous screenwriter in the future, so he pays special attention to this aspect.

Yin Jun nodded, "It is not easy to combine Chinese and Western cultures, and it is not easy to achieve a balance...Brother Rui, if you accompany Miss Zhang to the United States this time, you can find inspiration."

"yes!"

Luo Qirui's face was still a little red, and he obviously knew that Yin Jun had guessed his thoughts.

"I have heard about Miss Zhang working at Xiangjiang Radio before. At that time, they said that you are a very talented woman." Yin Jun said, "When my work is going well, I will go to the United States to study for another four years. That’s something very few people can do.”

"I just saw my own shortcomings, so I wanted to learn more." Zhang Wanting said modestly.

"So now, do you think you have the ability to make movies like Sister Hua?" Yin Jun asked smoothly.

Luo Qirui was under the table and gently touched Zhang Wanting with his hand, signaling her to nod quickly.

Zhang Wanting didn't listen to him, and said thoughtfully: "I don't know what my level is now, so this graduation work is a good test."

"Have you decided what to shoot for your graduation project?" Yin Jun asked.

"It's a story about immigrants." Zhang Wanting said a little embarrassedly: "This is inspired by your "Autumn Fairy Tale". Recently, I am perfecting the script with Qi Rui."

"Are you confident that it will be released in Xiangjiang after filming?" Yin Jun asked again.

"ah!?"

Zhang Wanting was obviously surprised.

She originally asked Yu Zheng for sponsorship. Although there was no reward, she also promised to work for the Kirin Group in the future to repay the money.

But she never thought that one of her small graduation works could be made into a movie released in theaters.

But what director doesn’t like having his work released?

Zhang Wanting is obviously no exception. Even if she knows that her level is definitely not good enough, how can she be willing to give up when she has such an opportunity?

Luo Qirui was silent at this time.

Zhang Wanting looks weak, but actually has her own ideas. If he helps Zhang Wanting decide things, the beauty will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Let me give it a try!" Zhang Wanting gritted her teeth and said after a moment.

"Don't be so nervous." Yin Jun waved his hand and said with a smile, "In this way, 1 million Hong Kong dollars is still a bit stretched to make a movie in the United States... I will ask United Artists Film Company to provide you with a complete set of equipment for free, as well as provide The support you want.”

"Then thank you, Mr. Jun!" Zhang Wanting was not polite, and then she was very free and easy: "If the movie is released, the copyright will belong to Qilin Films. I don't want anything."

"We are interested in taking over the copyright, but you can't work in vain." Yin Jun said, "Let's wait until it is released! If the movie can be profitable, you and Brother Rui will get 10% of the director's share."

"Too high!" Zhang Wanting shook her head repeatedly.

"Because the box office of literary and artistic films is generally not high, Qilin Film's share of this aspect is much higher. This also allows you to film with peace of mind." Yin Jun said, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Rui."

"Well, yes, Sister Hua receives 20% of the share." Luo Qirui replied.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Zhang Wanting is a very cheerful person, "I will try my best to make a good movie and not let Jun Shao down!"

"I also believe that Ms. Zhang is an excellent film talent." Yin Jun said calmly, "If the work produced this time is outstanding, I believe there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future!"

"I hope I have this opportunity!" Zhang Wanting said seriously.

Until they left, Yin Jun didn't say what script he would give them.

One of these two couples is a screenwriter and producer, and the other is a director and producer. They basically make their own movies.

Although Yin Jun will also let them shoot some films, if they want to truly capture their essence, they have to look at their own efforts.

In this regard, they are better than Xu Anhua.

However, Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui are not prolific directors. They like to slowly polish their films, often only releasing one every two or three years.

This efficiency is a bit frustrating!
