The richest man

Chapter 83 "Chinese Superman"

Shao Yizhen said that he wanted to break into Hollywood, but the difficulty was extremely high.

Shao Yifu's determination and courage are not as great as Golden Harvest, and he dare not invest millions of dollars in a joint venture with the Americans, but in order to gain credibility, it is no problem to invest 900 million Hong Kong dollars to fight.

Soon, he called his elite soldiers to the office for a meeting to discuss what kind of movie to make.

After everyone discussed for a while, director Hua Shan suddenly said, "There is a character 'Superman' in American DC comics, which has many fans! We might as well combine martial arts plots with sci-fi stunts and make a Chinese Superman with Chinese characteristics!" In addition, the recent RB special film set off an upsurge, even if "Chinese Superman" is not liked by Europeans and Americans, then we can enter the RB market!"

RB is the largest film market in Asia, with a population of over [-] million. Yat-sen Shao has always wanted to break into this market, but has never been successful.

Director Hua Shan's words immediately made Shao Yifu very tempted.

"Ni Kuang is a master of science fiction in Hong Kong. If he is responsible for writing the script, it must be the icing on the cake!" Hua Shan said again.

The rest of the people couldn't help but nodded when they heard the words.

Director Huashan's idea seems to have great feasibility!
Shao Yizhen didn't talk nonsense at this time, and directly made a decision: "Okay, just as director Hua Shan said, our Shaw Brothers will shoot a special feature film - "Chinese Superman"! This time, we will let the industry and the Hong Kong media watch it." Come on, we Shaw Brothers are also capable of making big-budget movies!"

After finishing speaking, Shao Yizhen looked at Huashan, and said: "Huashan, I will leave this movie to you to direct, don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Six, I will definitely do my best to make this movie a good one!"

"Ah."

After the meeting, Huashan immediately contacted Ni Kuang.

Because the money was in place, Ni Kuang readily agreed.

What's more, this is also an opportunity to prove that Ni Kuang is a Hong Kong science fiction master.

"The Three-Body Problem" unexpectedly became popular in the United States, and the Hong Kong media immediately took advantage of the trend. Public opinion has listed Zhang Jun as the No. 1 Hong Kong science fiction master, and Ni Kuang ranked second.

How can Ni Dashen, who has always regarded himself as a master of science fiction, bear this?

"Director Hua, don't worry, I will definitely write this "Chinese Superman" well!"

"Haha, of course, you are Taishan Beidou in the field of science fiction, with your shot, I have nothing to worry about!" Hua Shan laughed.

After Ni Kuang took over the task of writing the screenplay for this movie, he asked his friends to mail him a lot of DC comics for reference and imitation.

Hong Kong film companies seldom make sci-fi movies. Shaw Brothers is ambitious this time. In order to make "Chinese Superman" well, they even decided to find the RB technical team.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that Shaw Brothers Film Company has made such a big move, and it does not hide it. Soon the news that Shaw Brothers will invest in the filming of "Chinese Superman" spreads, causing a huge sensation!
Legendary Films.

After Zhang Jun and Zhang Zhenghao finished reading the newspaper, they chatted about this matter.

"The movie "Chinese Superman" plans to invest 800 million yuan, breaking a new record in the scale of film production since the establishment of Shaw Brothers!" Zhang Zhenghao sighed.

Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Before, some media ridiculed Shaw Brothers films for not making progress. The cost of the film was only a few hundred thousand, and it could only be circled in small ponds such as Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. However, Golden Harvest and Legendary Film Company have already set their sights on When I arrived at RB and Hollywood in the United States, Uncle Liu was probably stimulated, so he decided to make a big deal. Although Uncle Liu’s ambition to promote Shaw Brothers films to internationalization was revealed, it was still too petty, just 800 million Hong Kong dollars, what kind of sci-fi movies can be made?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jun curled his lips, a little disdainful.

The name of the movie is actually called "Chinese Superman", which is obviously touching porcelain.

If this movie can be released to the United States, it would be strange if Warner didn't take a bite!

What's more, this movie is a bad movie nine times out of ten.

However, the outside world did not understand this, and they all expressed their amazement at Shaw Brothers' generosity.

Golden Harvest even hurriedly held a meeting to discuss countermeasures, which seemed a bit jittery. After all, Hong Kong is still dominated by the Shaw family.

Shaw Brothers fans are naturally very excited, looking forward to the early release of this "Chinese Superman".

The media gave mixed reviews, but most of them expressed their expectations for this film. "Chinese Superman" can be regarded as the film with the largest investment in Hong Kong.

Zhang Jun chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhang Jun was very intoxicated by the refreshing aroma of the hot tea.

He pursed his lips, and said to Zhang Zhenghao: "Father, let's not talk about Shaw Brothers anymore, I heard that "The Painful War" has already been produced?"

"Ah."

"When do you plan to release it?"

"Hey, when I say this, I get a headache. Golden Harvest is not optimistic about this documentary, and we can't get a good schedule and schedule. At present, I am still talking with Golden Harvest. It's just... Golden Harvest plans Xu's Brother's "Ghost and Horse Twin Stars" will be released in March, and "The Killer" starring Cheng Long will be released in April."

After Zhang Zhenghao finished speaking, he showed a wry smile.

Without its own theaters, the issue of film distribution will always be controlled by others.

Hearing the words, Zhang Jun pondered for a while, and then said: "Then postpone the release until April. April Fool's Day is April 4st, and we happen to give Jiahe and Shaw Brothers a big surprise!"
