Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1064 The real special effects movie

For Xiangjiang Films, the last film with the best special effects was "Legend of Sword and Fairy" produced by New Oriental.

Its astonishing degree almost reached the special effects blockbuster "The Mummy" shot by Lin Daoqiu before.

You must know that the production cost of this film is only 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, and you must know that "The Mummy" cost US dollars.

However, Lin Daoqiu is very satisfied with being able to do this, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has also achieved a good box office, and even made a small fortune by selling ports.

The representative works of special effects movies in recent years are "Star Wars", "The Mummy", "ET Alien", "Blade Runner", "Ghostbusters" and so on.

It can be said that so far, the development of special effects movies is still in its infancy, and there are only a few companies that have mastered the core technology.

In Asia, Magic Studio's special effects technology can be described as the best, and no other company can compare with it.

"Godzilla", created by Magic Studio with all its efforts, will definitely become the most well-known masterpiece of this company in the 80s.

When the lights in the auditorium slowly dimmed, the lights gradually lit up on the big screen.

The opening title of New Oriental first appeared, a golden sun slowly rising from the water, symbolizing the rise of oriental movies.

Then, the scene changed, and the camera came to a piece of sea, in the outer sea of ​​neon Tokyo Bay, in order to rush back to the port before the typhoon came, a lone ship was sailing on the sea.

There is almost no difference from the clips that were shown to people under the New Oriental banner before, except that some places have been slightly modified.

When the boat was overturned, the filmmakers in the screening hall couldn't help but start to widen their eyes, and some people's mouths became O-shaped.

For those who are engaged in film work, watching movies is commonplace for them, and when they want to buy a movie, they must check the quality of the movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that just this short opening of "Godzilla" has already shocked them.

"Not to mention anything else, the atmosphere of this movie is very good, I like it very much."

Langmeyer seems to like the movie "Godzilla" very much. Even after watching the beginning, he is already full of confidence in this movie.

"Let's continue watching, this is not even one percent of the excitement of "Godzilla"."

Lin Daoqiu looked very confident.

If the future generations have seen so many special effects blockbusters, the "Godzilla" I made can only be said to be average.

But in the era of 1984, it is not just amazing, it can be faked.

Moreover, this "Godzilla" filmed by Lin Daoqiu is very different from the "Godzilla" in the special film of Neon in the past.

One is the model, no matter how you look at it, you can tell it apart, and it won't make people feel particularly shocking.

But in Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla", when the protagonist Godzilla appears, I am afraid that no one will regard it as a model.

After all, Lin Daoqiu spent millions of dollars on the production of the model of Godzilla alone. This amount of money is enough to shoot "Best Partner" and "Mr. Zombie".

But since so much money has been spent, the resulting effect is of course not the same level of creature as the Godzilla that Neon Special filmed before.

When the plot came to Godzilla's first appearance, it was a sunny day, and a group of fishing enthusiasts were fishing on the seaside by Tokyo Bay.

There was no movement on the calm sea. As usual, today's fine weather also brought them a good mood.

But at this moment, the water pattern on the sea suddenly fluctuated sharply. No one knew what happened, and everyone was very curious.

And when they just stood up and wanted to see clearly what happened in the sea, a shocking roar suddenly came out.

Then a gigantic creature suddenly sprang up from the sea. It was nearly a hundred meters long and as tall as a thirty-story building.

Human beings are like miniature people in front of it.

And when Godzilla appeared, someone in the auditorium couldn't help shouting directly.

"My God, what kind of monster is this?"

"God, is this guy real? It's so real? Is there really such a horrible thing in this world?"

Even though they knew it was a movie, some filmmakers were frightened out of their wits when they saw Godzilla appear.

The advanced projection equipment and stereo surround sound in the projection hall gave them an immersive feeling, which is completely incomparable with the effect of watching in a movie theater.

"I'm definitely going to get 'Godzilla' in theaters across America this Christmas."

Although he had great confidence in Godzilla before, Langmeyer never said such a thing.

But when he saw Godzilla's real body, Langmeyer was completely frightened.

"This is the special effects movie, this is the real Godzilla, Mr. Lin, I am convinced, I am completely convinced by you."

Isao Matsuoka couldn't take his eyes off the screen for a second. He loved Godzilla to death, and he realized that if the show was released in Neon, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

After all, "Godzilla" was created in Japan, and with such excellent special effects, even he was reluctant to take his eyes away from it, let alone the general audience.

Lin Daoqiu had already expected such a reaction from Langmeyer and Matsuoka Isao, so he didn't say anything, but just smiled lightly, very appreciative.

After the screening of "Godzilla", all the filmmakers present strongly requested to let them watch "Godzilla" again.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to worry about the release of this movie in Asia anymore, all he has to do now is to talk about the share.

However, this matter does not need Lin Daoqiu to come forward, but to Li Maowen and Li Guangwei to deal with it. After all, if so many filmmakers come to talk one by one, Lin Daoqiu will definitely not be willing.

When the two largest markets, Neon and Hollywood Lin Daoqiu, have already been settled, so the next thing he has to do is to wait for the money to be collected.

What Lin Daoqiu wants to know now is whether this "Godzilla" can break the "Alien ET" released in 82.

This movie was released in 1982, and the global box office has won nearly [-] million in box office revenue. Lin Daoqiu's goal is precisely this movie.

As soon as the news of the completion of the production of "Godzilla" was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussions in Xiangjiang.

But what kind of movie this movie is, everyone has different opinions.

Because, except for the people inside New Oriental, no one else has seen the "Godzilla" clips at all, and everyone has no way of knowing what kind of movie this is.
