At the New Year party, in addition to hearing gossip news, Ye Jin also personally made several investments.

One was for Clint Eastwood, who collaborated with Fox Films last year to achieve good box office results.

So this time he brought a movie called "Seeing the Sun with the Clouds", which tells the story of the police officer Harry, who was jealous of evil because of his serious law enforcement and ruthlessness, was jealous of criminals.

They were preparing to secretly revenge him. In order to protect him, the director sent him to Shengpu Town to investigate the murder. There, he met a strange woman who was determined to avenge her sister - Jennifer.

Is he able to do business and bring Jenny Buddha to justice? Or will he help her successfully take revenge? This is a difficult choice...

After hearing the story of this movie, Ye Jin thought it was pretty good. This kind of iron-blooded detective, punishing evil and promoting good, is actually very suitable for Clint's acting career, and the box office should be good.

Ye Jin also admires Clint. After a happy collaboration, he was grateful to the present and every time he had a good movie project, he could deliver it. It is rare for such a long-lasting person.

In comparison, John Travolta, who is obviously someone he has promoted, was not only unhappy after becoming famous, but instead acted like a big shot at himself.

It's worth it that he's starting to get out of date now.

...

In 1976, John Travolta had a small face in Hollywood with the horror film "The Street of Ghosts" and gained a certain popularity.

In 1977, he became famous for his debut with "Weekend Night Fanatic", becoming one of the most popular idols at that time and was known as the king of dance.

"Grease" in seven or eight years added another piece of fuel to his popularity, making him hot and purple. Even the president invited him to the White House as a guest. Even Princess Diana was willing to dance with him, and the limelight was unparalleled.

In 1979, although the starring "The Legend of Aura" suffered some controversy, as the starring actor, he also received extremely high attention, which was a blessing in disguise.

Therefore, in that year, his momentum also reached its peak.

However, after this, because of his big name and having a quarrel with Ye Jin, the starlight of John Travolta began to dim.

In the past two years, a series of big-selling movies launched by Fox Pictures, such as "The Deadly Weapons", "Ghostbusters", "The Seven Treasures", "Back to the Future", "Life and Death", "Eighteen-Year-Old Wolf", etc., have nothing to do with him.

These movies have entered the top ten annual box office rankings because John Travolta and Ye Jin broke up and failed to star in these movies. This made him, who was originally a top ten regular at the box office rankings, failed to be shortlisted again between 1980s and 1981s and 2008s.

In those two years, John Travolta actually produced a movie called "Grease Cowboy". You can tell from the name that it was a movie that took advantage of the popularity of "Grease".

It tells the story of an oil worker entering the largest club in the city, becoming obsessed with dancing, music, bull riding games, and also meeting beautiful girlfriends, falling in love and getting married.

But after contacting Rishen, the two realized that their values ​​were not in line, so after a painful struggle, the story of the two finally breaking up.

This mischievous movie invested 18 million US dollars, and John Travolta alone was paid as much as 3.5 million US dollars.

Although the media reviews were good after the release, the fans did not agree with it very much. They could not accept John Travolta's dumping, just as the 007 fans refused to accept Bond becoming a widower.

So in the end, the movie only had $32 million in box office. Although it didn't lose money, John Travolta was no longer the box office miracle of "Weekend Night Mania" and "Grease".

Later, he starred in the suspense thriller "The Line of the Murder". It tells the story of a recording artist who found himself accidentally recorded a murder case, and was involved in a conspiracy and faced great danger at any time...

To be honest, the story of "The Evil Line" is still very good, and the media's evaluation is still good. However, John Travolta was a young prodigal son and the modern dance king before, but now he has suddenly become a miserable little person who is constantly being chased... This makes movie fans still unwilling to buy it.

In addition, the suspense thriller is also a niche movie, so "The Line of Mind" finally earned only $26 million in box office. Originally, this result was considered good, but its cost was as high as $15 million.

Among them, John Travolta's pay was $4 million, so the box office of $26 million not only did not make the producers make money, but also lost a small amount.

As the box office performance of two consecutive movies was not as expected, John Travolta's popularity naturally declined.

In addition, in the past two years, many people have been praised on stage. For example, Tom Cruise, who starred in "The Wolf of Eighteen", Michael Fox, who starred in "Back to the Future", Mel Gibson, who starred in "The Deadly Weapon", Tom Hanks, who starred in "Ghostbusters", etc.

Working in the entertainment industry is like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. John Travolta’s popularity has decreased, but others are in the top position, which makes John Travolta’s position as a first-tier star in jeopardy.

As far as Ye Jin knows, he is now looking for opportunities around, intending to regain his previous reputation. However, given that he has broken two movies and is unwilling to lower his pay, major Hollywood production companies are all skeptical of it, and it is estimated that it is not easy to turn things around.

...

The second movie finalized by Ye Jin is called "The Deep Love of Mother and Daughter", which is a movie adapted from the novel of the same name.

This novel describes the touching love between mother and daughter, so after it was released in 1975, it received very good sales.

Later, the film and television adaptation rights were bought by producer James Brooks, and the script began to be written in 1976. After writing a total of 11 drafts, the script was finally formed.

The reason why he wanted to cooperate with Ye Jin was mainly because the industry said that Ye Jin finalized the investment project and was quick and straightforward. As long as he thought the story was good, he was willing to invest and he gave enough funds.

Unlike other film companies, even if the script is good, they have to be reviewed. Without three months to half a year, they can't give any comments.

James Brooks naturally hoped that his movie could be filmed as soon as possible, so he gave priority to Ye Jin, who was just doing things straightforwardly.

If Ye Jin misses his face, he will consider other companies.

Fortunately, after listening to the summary of his story, Ye Jin decided to make a bid on the spot, which made James feel that he was right.

The reason why Ye Jin decided to invest in this movie is mainly because its story is indeed touching. Moreover, the art film "The Kramers" released last year won the annual box office championship with its touching stories, so this type of art film is still very marketable.
