Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Some people may not take it seriously if you just rely on your words. After all, speaking is better than singing.

Even if the other party is Lin Daoqiu, if there is no real evidence, they may not be able to accept his idea.

That's why Lin Daoqiu took out "Godzilla" and briefly watched it for them to let them feel the power of special effects movies.

Sure enough, his method was very effective. Now he says that special effects movies will be the mainstream of future movies, and no one will object.

But "Godzilla" cost more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and no one at the scene could play it except Lin Daoqiu.

And even if we settle for the next best thing, maybe only the guys from New Art City can afford to shoot a movie worth ten million US dollars.

However, it is absolutely impossible to make back the money by relying on Hong Kong's box office. If you want to make money, you have to rely on selling the port.

Therefore, the trend of special effects movies mentioned by Lin Daoqiu has almost no meaning to them.

"The reason why the production cost of "Godzilla" is so expensive is because of the technology, and secondly, because it has to be released globally. It cannot be compared. This is just an exception."

Lin Daoqiu could see that everyone present was frightened by the production cost of "Godzilla".

However, this is just an exception and cannot be regarded as a normal example.

"As the box office of the Hong Kong Film Market gets higher and higher, box office of five thousand... six thousand... or even over 100 million will appear. Coupled with the Southeast Asian market, don't you think the future is bright?"

Lin Daoqiu's big picture sounds very tempting, at least Mai Jia and others are very excited to hear it, and even plan to spend money on special effects for next year's "The Best Partner".

However, they can't tell Lin Daoqiu directly about this matter yet. They have to come up with a script that satisfies the other party.

"Mr. Lin, will this "Godzilla" exceed the box office of 60 million in Hong Kong?"

Someone at the scene couldn't help but ask this question.

You must know that this year's "The Best Partner" just broke the historical box office mark of 40 million.

If we judge by the quality of the "Godzilla" we just saw, this movie is very likely to achieve a box office record of 60 million.

"RMB 60 million at the box office? I'm afraid you underestimate this movie."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and seemed not worried at all about "Godzilla" being able to win 60 million box office.

After looking around, Lin Daoqiu said lightly.

"'Godzilla's box office in Hong Kong has exceeded at least 100 million."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said these words, everyone at the scene was shocked.

You must know that the Hong Kong Film Market has just exceeded the box office record of 40 million. Lin Daoqiu actually said that "Godzilla" can break the 100 million box office mark. This is too arrogant.

"I know everyone doesn't believe it, but you will know it by then. There is no need for us to argue about this issue."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to waste time on this matter. Lin Daoqiu actually didn't care much about how much box office "Godzilla" could get in Hong Kong.

Even if the box office exceeds 100 million, it would only cost more than 10 million dollars in US dollars. Lin Daoqiu really doesn't like this amount of money.

For Lin Daoqiu, getting the record of being the first movie to break 100 million yuan is more meaningful to Lin Daoqiu than the 100 million box office.

"The reason I invite you here today is to open your minds. Otherwise, it will be a shame if you fail to grasp this trend once it arrives."

The purpose of Lin Daoqiu's doing this is to make people pay more attention to special effects movies, let them understand and start to think about how special effects movies are shot.

Otherwise, I will be fighting against Magic Studio in the future, and they will always make kung fu comedies, urban comedies and the like, which will be such a failure.

After the movie viewing party ended, everyone left with a mixture of excitement and heavy heart.

If special effects movies become popular, many Hong Kong-style movies may be eliminated in the future.

Like those old kung fu movies like those kung fu comedies and kung fu movies.

"Brother Qiu, if you tell this matter in public, what should you do if Baocheng Cinema is on guard?"

Wen Jun was a little worried. God knows how many of the people who just watched "Godzilla" are related to Baocheng Cinema.

If they relay what Lin Daoqiu said today, wouldn't they be prepared?

"Do you think Pan Disheng will spend one billion Hong Kong dollars to make a movie?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Juan and asked him.

Wen Juan didn't even need to think about it and just shook his head.

Pan Di Sheng is not very rich, he probably can't afford a billion.

And even if he could get it, judging from his net worth, he would never play such a big game.

"I have invested at least more than 300 million US dollars in Magic Studio. Do you think Pan Disheng will do this?"

Pan Di Sheng probably doesn't even have one billion, and US$300 million is even more impossible.

"In this case, what if they know about it? The only one in Asia that can do special effects and does it best is Magic Studio. They can only go to Hollywood to do special effects. "New Shushan Swordsman" is an example."

Last time, Tsui Hark received tens of millions of investment from Bao Shaogang and went to make a movie "The New Shushan Swordsman", but it ended up with a heavy loss.

From that time on, filmmakers in Hong Kong would smile evilly when they heard the term special effects film, and would even use Tsui Hark's example to tease others.

"I dare to say it in public without fear of being heard by the people of Baocheng Cinemas. "Godzilla" is just the beginning. Since I said I will destroy Baocheng Cinemas, I will definitely do it."

For some reason, Wen Juan felt that the Lin Daoqiu in front of him seemed a little different from before.

If it were the Lin Daoqiu he knew before, he would never say these words.

…………

"Is that movie "Godzilla" really scary?"

The day after the viewing party of "Godzilla" ended, Poseidon Cinema Line immediately received the news.

"It is said that Lin Daoqiu boasted in public that the box office of "Godzilla" in Hong Kong exceeded at least 100 million."

If this sentence were said to others, it would definitely be regarded as crazy.

But the person who said this was Lin Daoqiu, and Pan Disheng and others began to become silent.

"I was fortunate enough to participate in the production of this drama. Mr. Lin said it exceeded 100 million, which should be true."

The person who said this was Tsui Hark. When he had nothing to do in Xinyi City, he went to Magic Studio to help during the Chinese New Year.

At that time, under the leadership of Dykesela, I was exposed to some filming work of "Godzilla".

"When we were filming "The Mummy," we had seen models of "Godzilla" several times. It was said that one model cost one million U.S. dollars."

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao also saw and heard this when they were filming "The Mummy" on the set of Magic Studios.

Hearing this, everyone else took a deep breath.

"It is said that Mr. Lin said that the production cost of "Godzilla" cost one billion Hong Kong dollars..."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was immediately silent. Everyone was holding their breath and didn't know what to say.
