The Strongest Life Reborn

Two days later, Stallone got on a plane flying back to the United States.

With him, there is a script called "Rambo" in the bag.

Stallone is a persevering person, he is very assertive, but this time for the signing of the contract, he still couldn't help but call the mother who lives on his own.

Didn't know what his mother said on the phone. Stallone finally agreed to the conditions of Yin Jun's offer and signed a 20-year contract for 10 movies at Schwarzenegger's price.

Then he got the script written by Yin Jun.

Rambo, the Chinese translation is a person's name, called Rambo.

The movie with this name is not well-known in China, but if you say its Chinese translation, everyone will soon realize.

Its another name

Is called

"first drop of blood".

This 1980's trilogy in China is a classic series. It is also very popular in the United States and China. It completely surpassed "Rocky" and laid the status of Stallone's Hollywood superstar in one fell swoop.

It can be said that "Rocky" only helped Stallone to gain fame, but it was "First Blood" that really made him famous.

And "The First Blood" is one of the few good-looking movies in the 1980s and 1990s.

Even in 2020, Yin Jun saw some TV stations and was playing the first two or three parts of "The First Blood" at night.

From the perspective of after 2000, the first episode is indeed a bit old, but if it is viewed in the context of 1981, it is very new and very reflective of the reality of the US society in recent years. It couldn't be more appropriate.

The content of the first episode is very simple. The protagonist Rambo is a veteran who came back from the Vietnam battlefield, but returned to his hometown, but received various unfair treatment, so he directly exploded and a group of policemen. The chase and even the soldiers confronted each other and were very tough, and finally won.

This movie script is not original from Yin Jun.

This is a novel published in the 1970s. Yin Jun knew that it was exactly the same as the movie name, so he asked Tang Shuxuan to buy the movie adaptation right last year.

The script written by Yin Jun was written long before the adaptation rights were purchased.

The content of the novel is actually much darker and more depressed than "The First Blood". Stallone's version has been revised a lot. When Yin Jun arrived, he even revised some unnecessary conflicts and some abrupt places in it.

For example, the sheriff of the town, the book actually thought of a good policeman who was respectful of his duties, but in the movie it became vicious and vicious, which in Yin Jun's view was completely unnecessary.

If you want to create conflict, the correct approach should be that the two people's different values ​​begin to break apart to analyze and ponder, so that the audience will see more insights.

There are some details, Yin Jun also made changes according to the evaluation of everyone in the later generations. When he changed it into an English script, Yin Jun felt that he could improve the visibility by about 20% compared with the original version. .

Don't look at Stallone's five big and three thick, in fact, he is a very sensitive and delicate person.

After watching the shocking match between boxing champion Ali and an amateur boxer, he could detect the topic of "from grassroots to blockbuster", and immediately wrote it into a script. This is the "Rocky" he is famous for. ".

What kind of social problem is reflected in the script of "The First Blood", Stallone will understand at a glance.

The pain of x, even after 40 years, is still in the heart of the American people, not to mention that it has just ended a few years ago.

Now that the Americans have deep feelings, then this movie can be done, and it has a lot to do!

Stallone immediately decided to temporarily put down his "Rocky 3" and make "First Blood" first.

The copyright of the production of "Rocky" belongs to him. It can be done at any time. In addition to the second episode of the previous year, the audience is more or less tired. You can just wait and talk.

"First Blood" is now done, just hitting the iron while it is hot, and its production is relatively complicated, there are no special effects requirements, the area of ​​occurrence is only a small town and the mountainous area behind it.

Such places can be found everywhere in the United States and the United States.

Yin Jun gave him a budget of 15 million US dollars. Stallone was very happy. This high budget was the first time he got it.

At the time of "Rocky", I didn't even have the money to invite more than 20 group performances. The whole budget was less than 1 million US dollars.

"Rocky 2" rose a lot, but less than 10 million.

Now "First Drop of Blood" is just $ 15 million, and he is certainly happy.

He didn't know yet that Yin Jun only gave $ 20 million to "Terminator" that needed special effects.

The first "Terminator" of the previous life, the total production cost did not exceed 10 million US dollars, Yin Jun doubled it, but there was no bottom in his heart.

He did not know when the road of the truck driver's technical maniac began. In case he saw that the boss was rich, he would simply come in for a fortune and spend 30 to 50 million yuan.

Therefore, Yin Jun initially gave 20 million US dollars, and then left him 10 million leeway, and then certainly would not give it again.

Although it is good to be serious in technology, the first movie, how to let the truck driver know a little savings, otherwise "Terminator 2" and "Titanic", he promised to get a sky-high production cost you believe Do not believe?

'S current Stallone is most pleased not with the production of funds, but with the trust and power given to him by Yin Jun.

"The First Blood" producer, director and starring are him, Sylvester? Stallone!

This means that on the set, he is the person who controls everything, and the entire movie can reflect the will he wants to express.

And when the final editing, Stallone had the power to propose.

He was even more happy about this.

Since the "Gate of Heaven" almost broke Lianyi Film Company, the seven giants in Hollywood have quickly recovered almost all the final editing rights.

The only exception should be Spielberg.

George Lucas has his own company, so he can't count.

Stallone knew that he certainly couldn't compare with Spielberg. In the end, he didn't have the qualification for editing rights, and he was able to attend and express opinions, which was already a great deal of favor.

Yin Jun didn't treat him badly. The 10 movies all had a base salary of 2 million, plus a 2% box office share in North America.

It is not the era of the 20 million clubs and 30 million clubs led by Schwarzenegger.

Hollywood stars, such as Stallone, can get 1 million and 2 million pieces of remuneration for a movie, which is already very high.

Still has to wait until the beginning of the 1990s, is the era of real payoffs.

With so many promises and favorable conditions, Stallone feels that joining the Kirin Group is definitely a good thing!

Therefore, he can't wait to bid farewell to Yin Jun, preparing to return to the United States and go to Lianyi Film Company to choose his own production team.

Now the team of Lianyi Film Company has been picked up by Brookheimer and Cameron. The remaining talents are running out. He has to choose carefully.

Is both a producer and a director. Stallone is not afraid of anyone being disobedient. He just has to choose the most suitable person.

As for the actor, he also has a lot of suitable friends who are suitable to appear in this movie.

It feels so unrestrained!

……

Stallone is happy, Yin Jun is even more happy.

Recruiting Stallone is definitely a very cost-effective thing.

It is now 1981. It is impossible for Yin Jun to capture the two giant stars of Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

So, everything is best to start early.

Now those superstars in Yin Jun's memory have basically not debuted, and some of them are still children, and they have plenty of time.

If there is anyone who needs to be recruited in recent years, Yin Jun actually knows.

In fact, Hollywood will basically be divided into two stages in the next 40 years.

These two phases are marked by the appearance of "Iron Man" in the "First Marvel Universe Series" in 2008.

The future of Hollywood for more than two decades is a time to watch superstars.

"As long as it is a movie starring Harrison Ford, I will watch it."

"Schwarzenegger's movies are not supported, what other movies can you watch?"

"Bruce Willis? Hot Iron Man! Must see!"

"......"

Such thoughts represent the attitude of movie fans towards movies.

At this time, they didn't care about the movie itself, but about which superstar appeared in it.

So 20 million US dollars club. Club, 30 million US dollars club. Club ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is so popular.

However, after "Iron Man", after the appearance of movies based on special effects and selling points, Hollywood does not seem to need superstars so much.

Besides the few people, I can rely on the plot and special effects to promote the movie, I can create some new stars by myself, and the price is not too high, why not do it?

For example, the highly successful Andre Garfield in the first and second parts of "Supernatural Spider-Man" was directly replaced in the case of high pay, and the protagonist of "Supernatural Spider-Man" was replaced with a low pay. Dutch brother.

In this era, big stars are not a necessity at all. The super big IP of each movie company is the most important condition for attracting fans to the cinema.

But the special effects technology at that time was also very powerful in burning money. If you do n’t move, you will get 50 to 60 million or even hundreds of millions, which is much more expensive than you invited a superstar ten years ago.

So the two have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Yin Jun now encounters a time when superstars are needed.

And some of the superstars he remembered can start to be slowly recruited!
