Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1007 The Trend of Future Movies

Some people may disagree with mere words. After all, speaking is better than singing.

Even if the other party is Lin Daoqiu, if there is no real evidence, it may not be possible for them to accept their own ideas.

That's why Lin Daoqiu took out "Godzilla" and showed them a brief look, so that they could feel the power of special effects movies.

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

But a "Godzilla" cost more than 1 million U.S. dollars, and no one could play it except Lin Daoqiu.

And even if it's the next best thing, maybe only a few guys from New Art City can afford a movie worth 1000 million dollars.

However, it is absolutely impossible to rely on Xiangjiang's box office to make money back. If you want to make money, you have to rely on selling ports.

So 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 technology, and the second is because it needs to be released globally, so it cannot be compared. This is just an exception."

Lin Daoqiu could tell that everyone at the scene was shocked by the production cost of "Godzilla".

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

"As the box office of the Xiangjiang film market is getting higher and higher, [-]... [-]... or even more than [-] million box office will appear, plus the Southeast Asian market, don't you think the future is bright?"

Lin Daoqiu's big pie sounded very tempting, at least Maijia and the others felt itching to hear it, and even planned to spend money on special effects for next year's "Best Partner".

But they can't tell Lin Daoqiu directly about this matter for the time being, they have to come up with a script that satisfies the other party.

"Mr. Lin, will this "Godzilla" break through the box office of 6000 million in Xiangjiang?"

Someone at the scene couldn't help asking this question.

You must know that this year's "Best Partner" has just broken the historical mark of 4000 million box office.

Judging by the quality of "Godzilla" just seen, this drama is likely to win the box office record of 6000 million.

"A box office of 6000 million? I'm afraid you underestimated this movie."

Lin Daoqiu smiled, and he didn't seem worried at all that "Godzilla" could win a box office of 6000 million.

Looking around, Lin Daoqiu said something lightly.

"'Godzilla' has at least exceeded [-] million at the Xiangjiang box office."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, everyone on the scene was shocked.

You must know that the Xiangjiang film market has just broken through the box office record of 4000 million. Lin Daoqiu actually said that "Godzilla" can break through the [-] million box office mark, which is too arrogant.

"I know that everyone doesn't believe it, but you will know when the time comes. We don't need to argue about this issue."

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

Even if the box office exceeds 1000 million, it is only more than [-] million in US dollars. Lin Daoqiu really doesn't think much of this money.

For Lin Daoqiu, getting the record of the first movie breaking [-] million is more meaningful to Lin Daoqiu than the box office of [-] million.

"The reason I invited you here today is to open your minds. Otherwise, it would be a pity if you failed to grasp this trend once it came."

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

Otherwise, I will be fighting with Magic Studio in the future, and they will always make kung fu comedies, urban comedies and the like, then it will be a failure.

After the viewing session was over, when everyone left, they were both excited and heavy in their hearts.

If special effects movies become popular, I am afraid that many Xiangjiang-style movies will be eliminated in the future.

Old fashioned 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 Cinemas is on guard?"

Wen Jun was a little worried. God knows how many people who watched "Godzilla" just now had connections with Baocheng Cinemas.

If they relayed what Lin Daoqiu said today, wouldn't they be on guard?

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

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Jun and asked him a question.

Wen Jun shook his head without even thinking about it.

Pan Disheng is not very rich, he probably can't get a billion.

And even if he could get it out, judging by his wealth, he would never play such a big game.

"I have invested at least 3 million US dollars in Magic Studio. Do you think Pan Disheng will do this?"

Pan Disheng probably doesn't even have a billion dollars, and [-] million dollars is even more impossible.

"Since this is the case, so what if they know about it. In the whole of Asia, Magic Studio can do special effects and do the best. They can only do special effects in Hollywood. "New Shushan Swordsman" is an example."

Last time, Tsui Hark received tens of millions of investment from Bao Shaogang, and went to shoot a "New Shushan Swordsman", but ended up losing money.

From then on, Xiangjiang filmmakers would smile badly when they heard the term special effects film, and even use Tsui Hark's example to tease others.

"If I dare to say it in public, I am not afraid that the people of Baocheng Cinemas will hear it. "Godzilla" is just the beginning. Since I said that I want to destroy Baocheng Cinemas, I will definitely do it."

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

If it was the Lin Daoqiu he knew before, he would never have said these words.

…………

"Is the movie "Godzilla" really scary?"

The day after the "Godzilla" viewing session ended, Baocheng Cinemas immediately received the news.

"It is said that Lin Daoqiu boasted in public that the box office of "Godzilla" in Xiangjiang has exceeded at least [-] million."

If this sentence is replaced by others, it will definitely be regarded as crazy.

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

"I was fortunate enough to participate in the production of this drama. Mr. Lin said it was over [-] million, so that should be true."

The person who said this was Tsui Hark. At the beginning, he had nothing to do in New Art City. During the Chinese New Year, he went to the Magic Studio to help.

At that time, under the leadership of Dexerla, I had contact with some filming work of "Godzilla".

"When we were filming "The Mummy", we saw several models of "Godzilla". It is said that a model costs 100 million US dollars."

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

Hearing this, everyone else gasped.

"According to Mr. Lin, the production cost of "Godzilla" cost one billion Hong Kong dollars..."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was immediately silent, and everyone was holding their breath, not knowing what to say.
