Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1501 Di Bao's special effects technology

On the Golden Harvest Mountain Road studio, Dibao's movie "Mad Man" is under intense shooting.

This is Di Bao's biggest investment so far, and it can be said to be Di Bao's highlight this year.

It's not that Sammo Hung has never made this kind of big production, but he is the protagonist in this movie, and he is responsible for all the things in the movie.

Different from playing a supporting role in Lin Daoqiu's movie, this time Sammo Hung is the soul who controls the whole movie.

In order to make this film well, Sammo Hung stayed on the set six days a week, and almost never left.

Although Sammo Hung is not worried that he will lose to anyone in the fight, but in terms of special effects, Sammo Hung has to worry about this drama.

The special effects of "Mad Man" are produced by their special effects film company. Compared with Magic Studio, the technology of the special effects company founded by Di Bao and the others is still in its infancy.

Sammo Hung himself didn't know how much hope he should have for their own special effects technology.

"Brother, you have been frowning all this time, is it because of the special effects?"

Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung grew up together, and after filming together for so many years, he could roughly guess what Sammo Hung was thinking about each other's every move.

"We also stayed at the magic studio. I always feel that the special effects technology on our side seems to be a lot worse than that of the original magic studio."

Sammo Hung also doesn't know much about special effects, but he has worked with Dykstra and others before.

If the two sides are compared in this way, Sammo Hung can more or less feel the existence of some gaps.

You must know that it was several years ago. If their current special effects technology is not as good as that of Magic Studio a few years ago, it will really make people feel very discouraged.

It's no wonder that Sammo Hung couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.

After all, there is no harm if there is no comparison. If the special effects technology displayed in "Mad Man" is not strong enough, it will definitely become the laughing stock of others.

If this is the case, then Sammo Hung would rather not have to add special effects to this film, and everything will be done with real swords and guns, so that he can be more confident in controlling it.

"Brother, special effects technology is the development trend of movies in the future. What Mr. Lin has done in the past few years is telling me that if you give up special effects, you will definitely be kicked out in the future."

Although Yuen Biao doesn't like special effects technology very much, it's not a question of whether he likes it or not, but if he is unwilling to accept it, he will definitely be eliminated.

In fact, Sammo Hung himself is well aware of what Yuen Biao said, but deep down in his heart he still feels that real kung fu is much better than those special effects techniques, but it is a pity that more people like to watch special effects.

While Sammo Hung was chatting with Yuen Biao, Pan Disheng brought Cen Jianxun to the set to visit them.

As soon as Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao saw Pan Disheng, they immediately got up and walked towards each other.

"You two have worked hard. I heard from Manager Cen that over the past few months, Big Brother Hong has been filming on the set and hasn't been home much. I'm here to visit everyone today."

Pan Disheng bought some snacks and came to visit the class. He ordered Cen Jianxun to distribute the snacks to everyone, and then chatted with Sammo Hung about the production of "Mad Man".

Pan Disheng actually knew very little about movies.

Although he has been Dibao's boss for several years, most of the company's affairs are still in charge of Cen Jianxun and Sammo Hung, and he basically doesn't ask much.

"The movie "Mad Man" has been in production for a while, Brother Hong thinks this movie will sell well by then?"

Pan Disheng is most concerned about whether the money he invests can get benefits. After all, he does not open a film company for charity, but for his own famous brand company.

If the film produced can make money, then Pan Disheng will naturally be very happy.

Hearing Pan Disheng's question, even if Sammo Hung had any ideas, he still had to answer the other party with a very optimistic reaction.

"Mr. Pan, please rest assured that the filming of "Mad Man" went very smoothly, especially this time with the addition of special effects technology, which will definitely give the audience a completely new feeling after it is released."

Sammo Hung, who was still worried about the special effects technology before, actually hung up his guarantee in front of Pan Disheng in the blink of an eye.

If you didn't know, you would think that the person who was worried just now was not Sammo Hung but someone else.

"With Big Brother Hong here, I believe that this drama will definitely have a very good result. In fact, I came today to talk about something with Big Brother Hong."

Apart from visiting Sammo Hung, Pan Disheng wanted to ask Sammo Hung for his opinion on one more thing.

"Please tell me, Mr. Pan."

Sammo Hung didn't know what Pan Desheng wanted to talk about with him, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with the movie "Mad Man".

"A few days ago, Park Taijian, the representative of Hanguo's film studio in Xiangjiang, approached me, and he asked me a very strange request."

Hearing Pan Disheng mention Park Taijian, Hong Jinbao immediately remembered how Park Taijian and others teamed up to drive Jiahe out of the port market. That guy should be on Lin Daoqiu's side, how could he find Di Bao.

"Mr. Pan, if I remember correctly, Pu Taijian should have a close relationship with Mr. Lin, right? I think it's better for people like this to have less contact with him."

Sammo Hung was worried that Park Taijian would not have any good intentions when he came to Pan Disheng. If this is the case, it would be better to stay away from such people.

"Brother Hong, please don't worry. I still know something about Pu Taijian. This time he came to me because he hoped that Dibao could expand our company's business in Hanguo."

It sounds like this is a very normal exchange. Among Dibao’s films sold every year, the box office in the cold country accounts for a considerable proportion, so it is also very reasonable for Pu Taijian to invite Dibao to set up a branch in the cold country. .

"Set up a branch office in Han Country? We can't finish filming movies in Xiangjiang now, so how can we have time to open a branch office?"

Without even thinking about it, Sammo Hung shook his head and rejected Park Taijian's proposal.

They can't finish their own movies now, how can they have the time and energy to send the extra people to the cold country.

Pan Disheng is actually more or less interested in this matter, but his point of view is not from the film aspect, but that if Dibao can open a branch in Hanguo, it will help him expand the business of his brand-name company. Will be of no small help.

It's just that Pan Disheng would not tell Hong Jinbao about such words, after all, this is all Pan Disheng's own selfishness.
