Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Matsui Naokami looked a little embarrassed, and Tsuburaya Gao had already said it tactfully. After all, the difference in amount between the two sides was almost fifteen times, and it was still calculated in US dollars. I can only say that Matsui Naokami's idea was really nonsense.

Fortunately, he understood it immediately, so Yuangu Gao did not continue talking.

Originally, Matsui Naokami thought that Tsuburaya Gao's difficulty was in the special effects, but now it seems that Hayashi Akimitsu's investment in the details of this drama is jaw-dropping. You must know that the investment in models alone is already

It’s enough for Toho to make a blockbuster movie.

"If that's the case, then you should do your best."

Matsui Naokami has nothing to say. "Ultraman" is just one of his blockbuster series. In addition to "Ultraman", Matsui Naokami has prepared a full 100 million U.S. dollars this time, planning to compete with Hayashi Daoqiu.

Higher or lower.

He felt that no matter how powerful Lin Daoqiu was, he was just a little ahead in special effects. As long as Toho was shooting special effects movies, Lin Daoqiu's advantage would not be so huge.

In addition, they can find excellent local writers and screenwriters from Neon to come and help. It is conceivable that under this crowd tactics, Lin Daoqiu's advantage will be minimized.

Originally, Tsuburaya Gao wanted to persuade Matsui Naokami not to be so aggressive, because it was absolutely impossible for him to win against Lin Daoqiu.

However, the other party was in the midst of taking office as a new official, and trying to persuade Matsui Naokami at this time would probably not yield any good results, so Tsuburaya Gao could only swallow back what he wanted to say.

Soon, Matsui Naokami held a press conference and announced that Toho would invest in several large-scale special effects movies. Although he did not name him because he was going to compete with Lin Daoqiu, I believe anyone with a discerning eye would have seen it clearly.

"Ultraman?"

Lin Daoqiu, who was preparing for the filming of "Onmyoji" at Taiqin Film Village, couldn't help laughing when he heard that Matsui Naokami was going to shoot "Ultraman".

It's not that he has any prejudice against "Ultraman". In his previous life, Lin Daoqiu had watched many "Ultraman" TV series when he was a child.

But it is not that easy to put "Ultraman" on the big screen, because it can easily be made into a TV series.

If Lin Daoqiu had made "Godzilla" according to the model of Tsuburaya Gao and others, it would have only become popular in neon, and it would never have had any influence in the world.

However, this time "Ultraman" is directed by Tsuburaya Kao, who has followed him on "Godzilla" for several years, so he probably won't make the same mistake again.

In addition, this time Matsui Naokami gave him a budget of 20 million US dollars to film this movie. If Tsuburaya Gao didn't show off his talents, he would really betray Matsui Naokami's trust in him.

"Naokami Matsui is quite smart. He knows that making "Ultraman" into a live-action movie will definitely attract the audience who were shocked by "Godzilla" before."

From Maekawa Kiyonori's point of view, Matsui Naokami's move seems to be a bit of a publicity stunt, but "Godzilla" and "Ultraman" are both produced by Tsuburaya, so it would be fine if Toho wanted to film them.

question.

"It takes 20 million to make a special special effects movie. Does Mr. Maekawa think that although it is difficult, it is still possible to succeed?"

Lin Daoqiu turned around and looked at Maekawa Kiyonori and asked with a smile.

Maekawa Kiyonori thought for a while and nodded, and then Lin Daoqiu explained to him.

"When I made "Godzilla", I spent more than 10 million U.S. dollars just on those models. Do you think 20 million can make "Ultraman" a success?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head as he spoke, and then walked to the other side.

Maekawa Kiyonori was shocked when he heard this. More than ten million could be exchanged for nearly two to three billion yen back then.

If that's the case, then "Ultraman" probably won't cause much of a response when it is filmed. It may even be because the audience has been shocked by "Godzilla" and their appetite has been fed by Lin Daoqiu. Let's watch them again.

If you film "Ultraman", you will feel that the other party's filming was terrible.

At that time, the reputation of "Ultraman" will quickly decline, and Toho is expected to be greatly affected by this.

"If that's the case, then why is Tsuburaya Gao still willing to take on this movie? I remember that when we were filming "Godzilla", he learned from you."

Regarding Maekawa Kiyonori's question, Lin Daoqiu felt that the reason was very simple.

"How will you know if you don't try it? And I believe Mr. Tsuburaya would never think about surpassing "Godzilla". If he really thinks so, that would be interesting."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that "Ultraman", which was shot for 20 million US dollars, would have any shocking effect. After all, special effects movies are about spending real money.

Just on the details alone, a lot of money needs to be spent to create a convincing visual effect.

With only 20 million U.S. dollars, no matter which side of the expenditure is spent, it is impossible to do it perfectly, so it can only be reduced here and there.

As a result, the result of such shrinking was that the final effect of the film was naturally not much better. Lin Daoqiu even worried that Tsuburaya Gao's final film would be like those TV series broadcast in "Ultraman TV".

Don’t think this is impossible. In 1999, in the previous life, Tsuburaya Production Company produced and distributed a live-action movie called “Ultraman: Super Dimension Battle.”

Although it is said to be a movie, the overall look and feel is not much different from ordinary special effects TV series.

Therefore, unless Lin Daoqiu is responsible for the live-action transformation of "Ultraman", it would be nonsense if someone else wanted to produce shocking effects.

After all, tokusatsu is good for supplementing TV series and some special effects scenes, but if the entire shooting is done with tokusatsu, it will become very fake, just like the TV series that children watch.

"Don't worry about Toho's actions. At least from the current point of view, Mr. Matsui's starting style is really not very good."

Lin Daoqiu felt that Matsui Naokami's starting point was good, but the problem was that he had a problem, that is, he was eager for success.

He spent 200 million U.S. dollars to open a special effects studio, and then spent another 100 million U.S. dollars to make several blockbusters.

Although it is true that Dongbao has a big family and a big business, even such a family business is not for him to toss around like this.

Once all these blockbusters hit the market, Matsui will probably be very unsteady when he takes the position of president.

Finally, it was brought to Hollywood to earn US dollars by showing the movie. Lin Daoqiu thought it would be better to let Matsui Naokami give up the idea, because it is difficult for foreigners to recognize the movies produced by Neon Man, especially blockbusters.
