Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Uncle Jiu is really decisive. He won't shoot if he says he won't shoot."

"Mr. Zombie" did not achieve a high box office as expected, which is definitely a great thing for Poseidon Cinemas.

According to the latest news they received, "The Best Partner" has not been started until now, and Mai Jia is currently filming an urban comedy.

"Mr. Zombie" and "Best Partner", which they were originally afraid of, chose not to film both of them. Shun Jianxun and the others were so happy that they wanted to hang up firecrackers all day long to celebrate.

However, compared to the joy of Cen Jianxun and others, the expressions on the faces of two people in the conference room did not look happy at all.

Sammo Hung didn't think that Lin Daoqiu would be so stupid to let go of two such profitable movies and not make them. He must have some back-up plan.

What Tsui Hark is worried about is that Lin Daoqiu is going to start to expand his skills. Is the movie really going to be released?

Too many questions surround the two of them, but if Lin Daoqiu doesn't take action for a day, they won't be able to get the real answer.

In early September, Magic Studio welcomed a very special group of guests.

Universal Pictures President Lang Meyer, Toho President Isao Matsuoka, Changhong Company's Wu Chou, and the most powerful film producers from Han Kingdom and all over Southeast Asia came here.

Lin Daoqiu personally invited these people from all over the world to Xiangjiang. If it were anyone else, they would never have such a big reputation, and only Lin Daoqiu and Run Run Shaw could do it here in Xiangjiang.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu wanted to invite these big guys to Xiangjiang was very simple, that is, he had made a good film, so he wanted to invite them to come and take a look.

Isao Matsuoka is obviously the person who knows the most about this drama. Isao Matsuoka was also present when Tsuburaya asked Lin Daoqiu to cooperate, so he got a little bit of information from Tsuburaya Gao's mouth.

Longmeyer had long heard that Lin Daoqiu spent more than 100 million US dollars to make a movie, but because he was far away in Hollywood, he didn't know much about the movie. He could only learn from Lin Daoqiu's

I just know some information from my mouth.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the filming of this movie was actually completed. Both Longmeyer and Isao Matsuoka couldn't wait to see the legendary and expensive movie.

At Magic Studio, Dykstra has made all preparations.

It took almost two years to produce a film, which was definitely an unprecedented challenge for Dykstra.

Money is being burned every day, and the money burned is real money. If it had been another boss, I am afraid that this drama would have been aborted long ago, or it would have been forced to be released.

But Lin Daoqiu was different. He never lowered his requirements for "Godzilla" from beginning to end, which allowed Dykstra to use all his imagination on this film.

Lin Daoqiu had previously spent money to build a screening room at Magic Studio, using the most advanced screening equipment from abroad. The decoration inside was also very luxurious, and even the chairs were leather seats custom-made from Italy.

.

After all, it is not just the movie "Godzilla" that needs to be served here, but more blockbusters with excellent special effects will have their first round of demonstrations here in the future.

"Mr. Lin, with so much money invested in "Godzilla", can it really make back its money?"

On the way to the screening room ahead, Isao Matsuoka looked at Lin Daoqiu curiously.

Investing more than 100 million US dollars in a movie was something he didn't even dare to think about.

However, for Lin Daoqiu, more than 100 million US dollars can be used to make the movie "Godzilla", which is already a very good deal at this time.

"If it's just to get back the money, why should I waste so much effort? For example, I am planning to release "Tomb Raider" in Hollywood this year. The cost of that movie is not as exorbitant as "Godzilla."

If Lin Daoqiu was really worried that "Godzilla" would lose money, how could he spend so much money and so much time on a movie?

He can definitely make money by making a movie like "Tomb Raider" or "The Mummy" a year.

"I really can't understand your idea. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to get it, let alone 100 million U.S. dollars, even 50 million U.S. dollars."

Toho, managed by Isao Matsuoka, is already considered the most powerful film company in Neon.

But even for a film company like Neon, which is at the giant level, Isao Matsuoka would not spend 50 million US dollars to make a movie. That would be too extravagant for them.

Maybe it's because "Godzilla" has been released on Neon before. Isao Matsuoka feels that Lin Daoqiu can't do anything new in this movie, but if this is the case, he will never say it in front of Lin Daoqiu.

of.

"You won't have such thoughts after watching "Godzilla"."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and looked very confident.

While he was chatting with Matsuoka Isao, Li Maowen and Fang Jinsheng had already brought other guests into the screening room of Magic Studio.

Langmeyer arrived late. As soon as he appeared, he walked directly to Lin Daoqiu and sat down.

The president of Universal Pictures was the most respected person on the scene. He was sitting next to Lin Daoqiu, and no one dared to say a word.

"Fortunately, you remembered to invite me this time, otherwise I would hate you to death if you didn't catch the premiere of this drama."

Compared to Matsuoka Isao's worries, Longmeyer seemed to have a lot more trust in Lin Daoqiu.

For investing more than 100 million US dollars to make a movie, such a thing must be a fantasy in other places. Even in Hollywood, it is a big news that can cause a huge sensation.

As the president of Universal Pictures, Longmeyer's good relationship with Lin Daoqiu allowed him to see this "Godzilla" earlier than others.

"I plan to release this drama on Christmas Day."

Lin Daoqiu turned to chat with Longmeyer about the release date of "Godzilla".

In fact, this year's schedule has been reserved by Longmeyer for Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla".

It's just that Longmeyer can't draw a conclusion until he sees the quality of this movie.

If the filming is really good, he will definitely arrange more screens for "Godzilla" after returning to the company.

Even Longmeyer has begun to imagine that when "Godzilla" is released, it might be able to set off a trend like "Star Wars".

"No problem, the schedule has been reserved for you. Now I just want to see if this "Godzilla" is as powerful as you said."

Langmeyer is very aware of Lin Daoqiu's ability, but as for how the filming of "Godzilla" will go, that will only be known after watching it.
