Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1443 This applause...

After the director and actors were interviewed, "Untouchable Lovers" officially began to be screened.

Although Lin Daoqiu has said before, this is a very simple literary film.

However, when the news of "The Untouchable Lover" was disclosed, it still attracted the attention of many media reporters and even industry insiders.

After that, Lin Daoqiu announced on "You Know About Entertainment" that the investment in this drama was as high as 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, which really surprised many people.

As the directors of the Golden Film Awards, which compete with the Golden Image Awards, Chen Baisheng and Shu Qi also sneaked into the premiere of "Untouchable Lovers" today.

What they were curious about was why Lin Daoqiu suddenly went to make a literary film, and what kind of movie was this literary film that cost 4000 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot.

"Mr. Lin changed his career to make literary films. If this film becomes a hit, it will definitely not be a bad thing for Xiangjiang Films."

Although Chen Bosheng has a lot of prejudice against Lin Daoqiu, he is still very happy if the style of Xiangjiang movies can be shifted from highly concentrated comedies and action movies to literary and drama movies.

"Xiangjiang does not have the soil like Treasure Island, and if there is a wave of literary films, I am worried that many independent producers will be hurt."

Shu Qi's worries are not unreasonable. It is easy for big companies to transform. They have a lot of funds and stars, and they can shoot whatever they want.

But independent producers are not the same, they have a hard time getting investment.

If the wind direction changes, their original preparations and planning may be greatly affected.

"Didn't Mr. Lin say it on the show before? A mature film market needs different types of films. The proportion of literary films and drama films in Xiangjiang Films is indeed too small. It is good to change."

"Why does your opinion of Mr. Lin seem to have changed a lot today? Is it just because he suddenly made a literary film?"

Shu Qi felt very strange that Chen Baisheng's attitude towards Lin Daoqiu seemed to have improved a lot today, which seemed to be different from him before.

For Shu Qi's puzzlement, Chen Bosheng just smiled lightly.

"Although I don't like him, it doesn't mean that I have to say that everything he does is wrong. As long as it is for the sake of Xiangjiang Films, I will support it, even if that person is Lin Daoqiu."

Chen Bosheng didn't change his opinion of Lin Daoqiu in any way, he just felt that the atmosphere and type of Xiangjiang movies were not right.

Lin Daoqiu is willing to stand up and make a literary film at this time, at least much better than those who can only say that they can't do it.

When Chen Bosheng and Shu Qi were chatting, the surrounding lights had gradually dimmed.

The big screen has slowly lit up, and "Untouchable Lovers" has officially started broadcasting.

Compared with the fast-paced style of Lin Daoqiu's previous comedies and action movies, the pace of "Untouchable Lovers" is slower.

For those who are used to watching Lin Daoqiu's comedies and action movies, "The Untouchable Lover" is really not to their liking.

Fortunately, in this day and age, there are still very few forms of entertainment, and movies and television still constitute one of the most important forms of entertainment for the general public.

So everyone's patience is quite enough. After all, many people can watch TVB's TV series like foot wraps with gusto, and naturally they don't have too strict requirements for slow-paced movies like "The Untouchable Lover". .

As the plot progressed, everyone suddenly discovered that the male and female protagonists were actually two people in different time and space. This point immediately caught a lot of viewers.

The 90-minute movie ended quickly. When the leading actor appeared at the end, he said to Zhong Chuhong, "I have a very long story, do you want to hear it?"

Then the camera turned to Zhong Chuhong, she didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously with a smile, and then the movie ended.

After the subtitles appeared, the scene was still silent, and everyone seemed to have not reacted yet.

And when the first applause sounded, there was a sudden burst of applause in the theater, and then slowly gathered together into thunderous applause.

Because it's not like a comedy or an action movie, it's hard to tell from the audience's reaction whether they like it or not.

Lin Daoqiu was indeed a little apprehensive, but not to the point of uneasiness. After all, he had already prepared for this drama, so it didn't matter if Lin Daoqiu didn't sell well.

On the way back, Zhong Chuhong didn't seem very emotional, it seemed that she was still worried about the prospect of the drama.

"Don't worry, even if this movie doesn't sell well by then, I think at least it will be fine to get back the money."

Lin Daoqiu said that the return of the original cannot be based on the Xiangjiang market. After all, compared with "Godzilla", the audience of "Untouchable Lovers" is much worse.

Moreover, although this film has special effects, the range is not large. After deducting the 4000 million shooting costs from the 2000 million investment, the remaining 2000 million is spent on special effects production.

If it is US dollars, then of course there is nothing to say, but if it is exchanged for Hong Kong dollars, if there are any high requirements, it will be a bit too embarrassing for Dykstra and the others.

"You always like to lie to me with these words. I just observed carefully and found that the audience didn't seem to have much reaction to this drama."

Zhong Chuhong was very concerned about the applause after the movie ended. Although it sounded enthusiastic in the end, it seemed to be very different from the previous movies that really sold well.

"It's a good thing for actors to care about the box office, but if you really care about it, how can you focus on the performance at that time, relax, believe me, it will be absolutely fine."

Lin Daoqiu kept trying to comfort Zhong Chuhong, but Zhong Chuhong actually wanted to comfort Lin Daoqiu, but she didn't know what to say.

At the same time, on the way back, Chen Baisheng and Shu Qi seemed to be a little silent.

They had finished watching "The Untouchable Lover", but the two of them had no communication during the whole process.

After the movie ended, they also belonged to the group of people who only reacted when they heard the applause coming from around them, and applauded along with them.

"Mr. Lin's play... What do you think?"

Shu Qi couldn't help but stop, then turned to look at Chen Baisheng, it seemed that he wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

Regarding Shu Qi's question, Chen Baisheng also seemed a little puzzled.

"There are indeed innovations in the plot, and the plot arrangement is also very ingenious. Of course, there is nothing to say about the special effects technology. Magic Studio is one of the representatives of advanced special effects technology, but compared with Mr. Lin's previous movies..."

Chen Bosheng still couldn't tell.

"Why don't we re-read it tomorrow."

Because "Untouchable Lovers" will be officially released tomorrow, Shu Qi suggested to watch it again tomorrow.

Chen Bosheng did not refuse this, it seemed that he also had the same idea as Shu Qi.
