Chapter 0014 - The Guan Family's Dilemma
Because she was busy filming, Guan Shirt was not at home, so there was only Zhang Bingqian and her two sons and daughters at home.
After Yin Jun explained his intentions and put down the gifts, Zhang Bingqian just asked him politely.
Hearing Yin Jun say that he is now working in a cafeteria, Zhang Bingqian was slightly disappointed, but then thought about it, Yin Jun is only 16 years old, this age does not go to work to accumulate, can not still be the boss?
Since Yin Jun has come over, naturally the noon meal is to be eaten at home.
As a result, before Zhang Bingqian left the meal, this side of Guan Shihua pulled Yin Jun's clothes, clamoring for his big brother to cook a delicious dish, he had not eaten for a long time.
Yin Jun could not help but smile in the sun and rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to work.
Ignoring her mommy's glare, Guan Zhi Lin ran over to ask Aunt Pan to go away and stood at the kitchen door herself, watching Yin Jun clean up the meat and vegetables while chatting with him.
"Brother Jun, where do you live? Tell me, I'll come visit you during the weekend!"
"Brother Jun, I think I've heard of Hing Kee Tea Restaurant, I'll come to see you someday, you can treat me to milk tea and pineapple buns!"
"Brother Jun, I saw the skirt you bought me, it's so pretty, how did you know I like this red one with ruffles? My mommy doesn't even know!"
"Brother Jun, when you're free, teach me a few more tunes, I like the tunes you wrote ...... You'll write tunes specifically for Jia Hui, right?"
"......"
Guan Zhilin definitely belonged to the category of having a bellyful of words to say to Yin Jun. Yin Jun had been cleaning up and cooking for two hours, and she had been talking there for two hours, not moving a step.
Zhang Bingqian looked at her daughter like this, although angry beyond measure, but also not good in front of Yin Jun tear face, after all, this child has already moved out, based on the frequency of this month can not come to a trip, Guan Zhilin will soon be the attention of new things, gradually Yin Jun to forget.
Of course, if she had heard exactly what her baby girl was talking to Yin Jun about, she would have pulled Guan Zhilin away a long time ago.
At noon, Guan Shirt still rushed back for lunch, but his face was very unattractive, and he looked a little distracted when he greeted Yin Jun and ate.
Zhang Bingqian didn't have time to care about her daughter at this time, and after the meal, she watched Guan Shihua enter the study, and she hurriedly followed him in.
Guan Shihua naturally did not know anything and yelled for Aunt Zhang to take him out to play.
Guan Zhi Lin pulled Yin Jun's hand, sat down on the sofa and whispered, "Brother Jun, it seems like my father is in trouble!"
"Is he not doing well at work?" Yin Jun asked.
"Well, I heard him tell mommy that the movie company is having a hard time, it lost a lot of money before, and now it's rare for someone to be willing to invest in it, but they can't find a good movie script." Guan Zhi Lin lightly frowned her eyebrows as she said, "I heard that the investor is very impatient, if the movie is not made and released within three months, he will ask for a withdrawal of the investment and return the money to him. Since that farewell party, Yu Yu's daddy introduced the investor to daddy, and now it's been almost a month, daddy is so anxious that his hair has turned white."
Xiangjiang people have always been impatient in doing things.
Even within the movie and TV industry, they are consistently impatient.
Television is needless to say, three days to set up a project, five days to produce a movie is simply not too much in the wireless, so that the wireless actually bad movie is also a whole lot.
Only then their rivals are even worse, so the wireless has become the first in Hong Kong.
This is the same as the ancient Chinese country to fight for rivers and mountains, two rivals are just competing to see who sucks less than who, the worst one collapses, the more sucky one achieves victory, it's as simple as that.
Back to the movies in Hong Kong, which have taken fickleness to the extreme.
Television is okay, it is equivalent to a sitcom, the requirements are not so strict, but the movie is not the same, all the plot is condensed into the 90 minutes or so inside, this is to have a great ability to shoot well!
But ...... how many days do you think it usually takes to make a movie?
According to the general idea, at least three months, right? Plus the pre-preparation, post-production, at least half a year or so, to be able to release, right?
When it comes to Hollywood blockbusters, shooting goes without saying that a lot of post-production special effects have to take a year and a half, and that's called a careful and cautious.
However, this is not the case in Hong Kong at all.
If a movie takes more than three months to make, it's considered a super big production, or it's those art film directors who take such a long time for the sake of excellence.
Usually, a Hong Kong movie can be made in a month, or ten days if it's shorter.
What kind of classic movie do you think can be produced under such circumstances?
The ones that are done well will make people laugh and watch them, but they will soon forget them.
The ones that are done poorly, then they make people not even interested in watching them, and they just disappear at the box office.
It is also those comedies that do not require scenes and details, it is possible to rely on the genius of the talented actors and actresses to play, to win a part of the loyal audience, and repeatedly light to see, which is why the future of the box office of the star will be so good, and in the end, can achieve a generation of masters of an important reason.
But this is also partly due to the impatience of movie and TV companies, which belongs to being forced by movie studios and investors.
Everyone wants to make fast money, it is best to take money out today and see the benefits tomorrow, that is why the directors are flying to make movies, flying to release ...... of course, most of them are also flying to go off the drawing board, and there are many movies that go off the drawing board in two or three days.
Therefore, Yin Jun completely understands the mindset of the investors.
This was a kind of mainstream of investment in Xiangjiang, everyone was doing it, the social trend was like this, who else could be blamed?
In the midst of Yin Jun's thoughts, he looked at Kwan Chi Lin's somewhat fretful face and could not help but feel a pang of heartache.
If things didn't change, after two years at most, Kwan's film company would close down, and Kwan would be reduced to a second, third, or even supporting role in the movie.
This was a big blow to Kwan, who was once the first international movie star in Hong Kong, and you can imagine how big a blow it was.
So within two years, Kwan moved to the United States with his wife and son, leaving his then 20-year-old daughter to fight alone in the tiger-like entertainment industry in Hong Kong, in order to support herself, her parents and her younger brother who were far away in the United States.
Yin Jun didn't think that Kwan Chi Lin became only fond of money in the future because her parents gave her a hard time, but there was definitely a factor in it.
"I've taken on the task of supporting my parents and brother from the first day I started working."
This sentence was once said by Guan Zhi Lin to a reporter during an interview, and it's impossible to tell if it's true or not, but it's a long-recognized fact that most of Guan Zhi Lin's money has been spent on her family since she became famous.
Thinking about the girl less than 18 years old into the TV station to shoot TV dramas, and then into the movie industry, 20 years old in Hong Kong without relatives, Yin Jun do not feel a burst of heartache.
Without mentioning anything else, just thinking about the scene where Miss Guan, with tears in her eyes, shoved all her pocket money into her hands, Yin Jun thought that he had the obligation to take care of her and let her live a good life.
If Yin Jun was unable to help with the rest of the things, then Yin Jun was still very confident about the movies.
Starting from the 70's and watching the Xiangjiang movies "Dragon Tiger Gate", "The Ranger", "Double Happiness" and so on, until 2020, when the Xiangjiang movies had already declined to the point of no return, not only had Yin Jun watched every single one that he could find, he had also written down his own feelings and comments on every single one of them.
There was no need to talk about bad movies, but if it was a good one, Yin Jun would watch it over and over again, looking for more highlights in it, then go to the forums to discuss it with his equally nostalgic friends, and then finally form a piece of a magazine article and publish it for everyone to see.
Guan Shirt needed a good movie script, that was definitely not a problem.
However, a little bit of consideration of details is a must.
Guan Shiang won the award at the Rojano International Film Festival in Switzerland for "The Legend of Ah Q", and then he pretty much settled on literary films, or romances, for that matter.
Over the years, people have grown tired of this image of his, but this image has also long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In terms of the level of appreciation in this era, the kung fu movies of Cheng Long and Hung Kam Po were definitely not suitable for Kwan Shirt, the nonsensical jokes of Chow Sing Chi were even more irrelevant, and even the image of Xu Guan Wen as a cold-faced comedian was not suitable for him.
Moreover, now Guan Shirt will not have a lot of money in hand, can not invite so many people, then only the best part of the scene concentrated in two or three people, the movie scenes must be less, preferably most of them take place in a very small fixed area.
Such a movie, and also must be with the literary paradigm, at the same time also certainly can not make people depressed, can not fall into the cliché, to be novel and good-looking ......
Honestly speaking, with such a series of requirements, it would be strange if Guan Shirt didn't get a big headache.
But who told him to be lucky and have such a daughter who was born with good fortune?
In this life, Guan Zhi Lin's bump like that had long ago changed her fate, and along with it, even the fate of the Guan family would have changed.
It was not good for others to find such a script, but for Yin Jun, it was a piece of cake.
"Jia Hui." After thinking about it, Yin Jun held the girl's hand and softly said, "Do you trust me?"
Guan Zhi Lin was a little puzzled, "Brother Jun, how could I not trust you?"
"That's good." Yin Jun whispered, "I have a story that fits your father's image very well, I'm going to write it out, so help me give it to your father, okay?"
"Okay~~"
Guan Zhi Lin's face was inexplicably surprised, "You're going to write a script for daddy, brother Jun? That's great! It'll definitely work!"
This girl was really naïve and cute, when her favorite boy wrote a script, she thought it was an absolutely good script, not even thinking about how old Yin Jun was and how long he had been in Hong Kong.
Miss Guan really hadn't thought about that.
Anyway, Jun's brother was just omnipotent, she thought so firmly!
The thought that Yin Jun would actively help daddy out of his predicament for his own sake made Guan Zhi Lin's heart sweet.
Looking at Yin Jun who was close at hand, Miss Guan couldn't help but move forward and give Yin Jun a kiss under the trembling of her heart.
"Brother Jun, you are so good~~"
