Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1448 Superior

Except for Lin Daoqiu and a few people from Dongshi, the outside world does not know how much money "The Legend of Condor Heroes" spent on filming.

This time, in order to deal with Lin Daoqiu, Fang Yihua increased the budget for each episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to 10 yuan.

But even so, the shooting cost of each episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still twice as much as that of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

But the money was not spent on special effects, after all, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was eventually filmed into 35 episodes.

The budget for each episode is about 20 yuan, which adds up to only 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although it can be said that it is a very extravagant thing to shoot a TV series in Xiangjiang at 700 million yuan at this time, it is impossible to do special effects with such a small amount of money.

So Lin Daoqiu did not let Magic Studio join the production of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", but found another group of people.

These are the art, set and sound effects related staff who worked at Shaw Brothers before.

Originally, they worked on the films shot by Shaw Brothers, but later they transferred to New Oriental. Then, because the Xiangjiang Theater was taken away by Run Run Shaw, New Oriental had to disband some of the actors, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of filming.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu did not fire these staff, but kept them in New Oriental.

In addition to filming, these people are now also responsible for the work of TV dramas. It can be said that they are almost too busy to touch the ground.

Although compared with special effects, there is no way to make people feel shocked at once in terms of visual effects of scenery and art.

However, they were all in charge of film work before. Switching to TV dramas to do scenery, art, and sound effects can still improve the quality of TV dramas a lot.

Moreover, it is still impossible to use special effects for TV dramas, after all, it is too expensive.

Just the funds for making special effects for one TV series, I am afraid that it can be used to make several TV series.

No matter how rich Lin Daoqiu is, he can't spend it like this.

On the day when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were released, the executives of Dongshi TV and TVB were waiting in front of the TV for the broadcast of the TV series.

In Dongshi's conference room, the atmosphere was very relaxed. Huang Xizhao sat at the main seat, Zeng Lizhen and Li Tiansheng sat on the left, and Tu Yongxiong, Xu Xiaoming and others sat on the right.

The two sides seem to have a taste of the Chuhe Han Dynasty, but it is almost an open matter in Dongshi, and the feud between Huang Xizhao and Zeng Lizhen has changed from a rumor to a well-known fact.

But no matter how bad they are, both of them know very well that if they can't beat TVB in ratings, Lin Daoqiu will never let them off easily.

On the one hand, Huang Xizhao hopes that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can overwhelm "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but on the other hand he is a little worried.

He was worried that once "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was rated in Changhong, the positions of Zeng Lizhen, Li Huimin and others in Dongshi would be more stable. This kind of contradictory mentality made Huang Xizhao not sure what to do.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived on time, TVB and Dongshi both started broadcasting on time.

"The Legend of Condor Heroes" is playing "When Will We Meet Again" sung by Zhang Delan, while "Life is Meaningful" sung by Luo Wen and Zhen Ni is played on the wireless side.

Compared with the theme song "Iron Blood and Heart" of the first part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Life is Meaningful" is obviously far less popular than the other party.

On Dongshi's side, "When will we meet again" and "Life is Meaningful" seem to have similar tunes.

Because the lyrics and music of "Life is Meaningful" are Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, while "When Will We Meet Again" are written by Deng Weixiong and Gu Jiahui.

It can be said that the theme songs on both sides are not excellent this time, at least a little bit inferior to before.

So in the comparison of theme songs, the two sides can almost be said to be a tie.

But if there must be a winner, obviously the combination of Luo Wen and Zhen Ni will be more popular.

After the theme song ended, the plot officially entered the plot. Because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filming a sequel, the degree of tacit understanding between the actors was higher than that of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and they would enter the state earlier.

And it was the first time for Chen Yulian and Andy Lau to work together. At the very beginning, it can be said that there was no tacit understanding between the two of them, and it took a lot of time to get in touch.

However, Andy Lau has been filming TV dramas for several years, and he has changed from a young boy to an actor with some acting skills.

Although compared with others, he still needs a lot of practice in acting, but in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", he still seems to be able to play Yang Guo with ease, at least it won't make people feel out of play.

At the same time, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the other side was defeated by "Xiao Li Feidao" last time, and was beaten badly.

This time, Wang Tianlin was pushed out by Fang Yathua as cannon fodder, but Wang Tianlin was definitely not willing to be caught without a fight, so he worked hard for this drama and did some homework on the action and plot.

The original plot design of the foot-binding cloth was slashed several times by Wang Tianlin, and people from Hong's class were also hired to help guide the action scenes.

At least in terms of action scenes, this time Wang Tianlin is confident that he won't lose too much to "The Legend of Condor Heroes". After all, there is still a big gap in the resources he can get compared to Li Tiansheng and the others.

At this time, Wang Tianlin was also in the wireless conference room, following Fang Yihua and the others to watch the first episode of both sides.

Originally, I thought that if I worked hard on the details of the plot and action, I wouldn't lose too badly this time.

A scene from "The Legend of Condor Heroes" left Wang Tianlin completely speechless.

The plot of Dongshi's "The Legend of Condor Heroes", at the beginning, it is about Wu Santong seeking revenge from the Lu family. kill.

Originally, Lujiazhuang was almost a cutscene. If it was filmed by Wireless, it must have been set up in the studio.

But at Dongshi, Wang Tianlin was frightened when he saw Lujiazhuang, because he was sure that it was definitely a real scene shooting.

We must know that whether in novels or TV dramas, Lujiazhuang is just a cutscene and is unlikely to be reused.

But Dongshi actually built a Lujiazhuang directly for such a small plot, which is simply too unimaginable.

After being surprised, Wang Tianlin immediately felt relieved. He felt that the Lujiazhuang he saw now might be redecorated in the following plots and become scenes of other plots.

Although this will cost a lot of money, but in terms of visual perception, it will definitely be much better than those TV dramas that are set up in the studio by TVB.

Thinking of this, Wang Tianlin couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.
