Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 97 Movie Watching Party

After talking about the matter, Su Cheng let Shi Nansheng go about her work, turned around and followed Wang Jing and the others to the temporary "viewing room".

The movie "Back to the Future" has already reached the post-production stage. However, there are many "special effects" in it, which require the help of the company here.

Fortunately, this is the first part, which is "Back to the Past." Once the second part is "Back to the Future," the workload of "special effects" will probably not be completed in just a few months.

With Robert's help, the rough cut "finished product" was in line with Su Cheng's vision of a "Hollywood blockbuster". At this point, Hong Kong's local directors still have a long way to go.

At least, with their first collaboration, the concept of "imitation" will also arise in their consciousness. And this is what "Xiangjiang Director" is good at. Unless they are willing to degenerate and not seek to improve.

After it was over, Su Cheng patted Wang Jing's shoulder approvingly and said with a smile: "Once the special effects are added, when it is released, Fatty, you will instantly become an international director. How about it? Do you feel a sense of pride?"

"The boss praised it!" He was a little happy, but when he saw that the finished film was praised by Su Cheng, Wang Jing felt a sense of disappointment. After all, although he was the director, in fact, the entire film was shot by Robert alone.

It's just a name. No matter how shameless he is, he still feels ashamed!

At this moment, Du Qifeng suddenly interrupted: "Boss, would you like to see the finished product we shot?"

"Oh?" Su Cheng paused and said with a smile, "Then let's take a look!"

Immediately, everyone watched the movie "True Lies" again.

At present, the rough cut of the "finished product" is less than a quarter, and there is no special effects processing. However, this kind of gunfight and action movie still stunned many people present.

It turns out that movies can still be shot like this? And it can be so exciting?

I'm afraid this is the blockbuster that the boss has in mind!

Suddenly, they felt that the local action movies and gunfight movies in Hong Kong were too shabby and were not on the same level at all!

As for Su Cheng himself, in addition to praising the film for meeting his expectations, he was also amazed by Chow Yun-fat's action scenes. Although many of the plots in it came from "God of Gamblers", "A Better Tomorrow", and even later Hollywood

The "references" from many blockbusters can be seen in Chow Yun-fat himself, which is indeed very eye-catching.

First of all, he didn't want the agent protagonist to be a "muscular man". So what else could he expect? There was strength, but the real strength was the skill and reflexes. That was the exciting part to stimulate the blood.

At this point, the film handles it very well.

In addition, in addition to filming such exciting scenes, there are also many tender scenes and "playboy" scenes. Regarding this aspect, it is also mentioned in the movie. Apart from the mission, he is a "love saint". It is considered a status.

A cover-up! Who can connect people with two personalities?

That's incredible!

It can be regarded as a mature "agent gun battle blockbuster".

After walking out of the viewing room, Su Cheng said: "Very good!"

“As long as the boss is satisfied!”

Nodding, Su Cheng asked, "How is Fa Ge doing here?"

"It's okay! It's been refined a lot!" Johnnie To said, "I'm still filming on the set today."

"Safety measures must be taken in the subsequent filming. Especially during the circus filming."

Du Qifeng said solemnly: "Yes, boss! We will never let Ah Fa get into trouble."

If it were Lam Lingdong and the others, Su Cheng would really be worried, but if Johnnie To and Sammo Hung are present, the safety can at least be improved to several levels. First of all, Jackie Chan is famous for his risk of life, and Sammo Hung is used to it, so he will naturally be careful.

.Secondly, Johnnie To is a good friend of Chow Yun-fat, so naturally we can't watch anything happen to him. What's more, he is also the director!

…

Just after Su Cheng went to Hollywood, Wireless Shaw met the rich man Dickson Poon at the tea party.

At the beginning of the year, Dickson Pan founded his own watch and jewelry store, which can be regarded as "a son inheriting his father's business."

But after all, he is a person who has studied abroad for many years and really wants to succeed. He thought that with his knowledge, he could "get rich" in a short time in Hong Kong and become a "big shot" like Li Ka-shing. But he

While we were working hard to start a business here, the film industry was booming out of control.

It was not just Dickson Poon who valued this industry, many wealthy people wanted to get a share of the pie. But when they opened a film company and made several films, they did not make big profits. Over time, many people gave up.

But more people began to talk about "cooperation" with Jiahe, Xiang Huaqiang, and New Art City, hoping for a win-win situation!

It's just that they put in a part of the investment, then don't care about anything, and just wait for the profits to be distributed. The losses are just a small amount of money, but once they make a profit, it's a huge sum. Everyone can understand this business.

But Jiahe has a strong foundation. There is also Boss Lei behind Xinyi City, and Xiang Huaqiang is not something ordinary people can mess with. Slowly, even if there is investment, it is just a matter of drinking some soup.

As for Shaw Brothers and Tengyue, not many people came to their door.

Boss Shao is so powerful, who wants to die? But Tengyue Entertainment’s background is too tough, and no one wants to be implicated.

In a blink of an eye, we are now here.

Dickson Poon sneered at other people's ideas. To make money in business, do it sooner rather than later!

After researching, he made an appointment with the boss of Wireless Shao.

Inside the teahouse, Pan Disheng said: "Boss Shaw, I want to buy your Shaw Brothers theater chain. Is it possible?"

"Oh?" Run Run Shaw asked with interest, "Why did Mr. Pan do this?"

"Make money!" Pan Disheng said: "Since last year, Tengyue Entertainment has risen rapidly. After that, Xinyi City, Dingsheng, and Golden Harvest also began to follow. On the contrary, Shaw Brothers Pictures, whether it is movies or profits,

Both have dropped significantly. If it continues for another year or two, I am afraid it will drag down TVB stations."

After hearing this, Run Run Shaw's face turned a little ugly. Originally, they had cooperated well with Tengyue, and even if they developed rapidly, they could still make money steadily. What a pity! One decision actually dragged Shaw Brothers into such a situation.

Except for their own Shaw Brothers films, few companies go to Shaw Brothers Cinemas to arrange screenings. If they don't make any money, they have to pay their employees. The longer it takes, the more they lose.

What's more, in the past year or so, none of the films produced by their Shaw Brothers Pictures has grossed more than HK$4 million at the box office! Look at Tengyue, Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Dingsheng. What a shame.

miserable?

I'm afraid that if things don't improve, the new generation will all know about TVB and Shaw Brothers will be forgotten in history.

This is not something that Run Run Shaw can accept. After all, he spent the first half of his life "fighting" for Shaw Brothers! How can he just sit back and ignore it?
