Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1755 Shocking
Standing in the renovated Xintiandi Theater, Lin Daoqiu didn't move at the door for 5 minutes.

Fang Jinsheng, Li Maowen and the others behind him also remained silent, just standing with him like this.

For Lin Daoqiu, Xintiandi Theater is actually a theater he is very proud of.

When he bought this theater, it was designated by Lin Daoqiu as the leading theater of New Oriental Cinemas.

Times have changed, and when Xintiandi Theater returned to his hands, Lin Daoqiu felt as if his whole body was completely new, and he was in a great mood.

"Boss, here they come."

Fang Jinsheng heard footsteps coming from behind him, he looked back and found that the people invited by Lin Daoqiu had already arrived one after another.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered some of the past just now, and I was inevitably a little lost."

After hearing Fang Jinsheng's voice, Lin Daoqiu was awakened by the other party.

Today Lin Daoqiu brought a large group of people to the Xintiandi Theater to watch the sample of "The Return of the Great Sage".

After the rough cut of the first edition and the refinement of the second edition, "The Return of the Great Sage" can basically be said to be not much different from the finished film.

Lin Daoqiu did not participate in the whole process of editing this time, he went to the post-production company to supervise in the second half.

Lin Daoqiu handed over the early editing work to Tsui Hark and others.

For Mr. Xu, Lin Daoqiu is still very relieved. After all, his control of the camera and his unconstrained narrative style are more outstanding among the directors.

He is in charge of editing, and with the assistance of a group of gold medal editors, both the scenes and the plot are more in line with Lin Daoqiu's requirements.

"Mr. Lin..."

This time the viewing group is very spectacular
Eight people came to Xinyi City, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Wang Jing, and Liu Zhenwei were all together, and Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa, Yuan Hua, and Deng Jingsheng were all together.

Some participating actors and some crew members also came together, and the number of people watching the film group alone reached more than 40 people.

Because this time it was an internal viewing, Lin Daoqiu did not invite too many people over.

And for the sake of confidentiality, when they were watching the film, no one was allowed in except for them and the projectionist.

"It's almost time, let's go in together."

Lin Daoqiu nodded to everyone, and then led them into the theater together.

The refurbished Xintiandi Theater has been replaced with sofa chairs similar to later generations, and it is very comfortable to sit on one's buttocks.

It cost Lin Daoqiu 200 million to order just these one thousand seats.

"This chair is really comfortable. I believe that Xintiandi, the best theater in Xiangjiang, dares to be the second and no one dares to be the first."

Not only Lin Daoqiu, but others also entered the new world after the renovation for the first time.

Everyone is very satisfied with the Xintiandi Cinema after the renovation and updating of equipment.

"I think the United Cinemas may switch to such sofa chairs if they don't."

Wen Jun patted the armrest of the chair while talking, it seemed that he really liked the chair.

"If you like, I can give you a few. I ordered a few more when I ordered them. Now those chairs are in the warehouse of the theater."

"Brother Qiu, it's settled. Apart from being a little short, this chair is still very comfortable to sit on. It must be very comfortable to sit on while watching a video."

Wen Jun was not polite at all, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu's next sentence made him speechless.

"A piece of 2 yuan, thanks for your patronage, I will give it to you at the original factory price."

Tens of thousands of dollars are nothing to Wen Jun, but at first he thought that Lin Daoqiu was going to give it to him.

Tsui Hark and others on the side were whispering and discussing.

Although the second version of the film has been edited, but before it is actually released, I am afraid that there will be no less than two re-edits.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu put the trial screening of "The Return of the Great Sage" in the Xintiandi Theater this time is also hoping to let everyone find out the problem from the perspective of normal playback.

After all, it is less than a week before the release. If something goes wrong, there is still time to fix it.

At this moment, the surrounding lights began to dim slowly. After the big screen began to shine, "The Return of the Great Sage" was officially shown in front of everyone for the first time.

"The chaos is undivided, the sky and the earth are chaotic, and the vastness is invisible. Since Pangu broke the majesty, he has opened up the distinction between clear and turbid."

When the picture came to the foot of a rocky mountain, an old voice read out the poem at the beginning of this Journey to the West.

Then a huge bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, and this bolt of lightning split a stone on the rocky mountain until it exploded.

Immediately afterwards, a stone monkey jumped out of the split stone, and the world changed color instantly.

At this time, the scene changed, and the immortals in the heavenly court were drinking and having fun. At this moment, the surrounding suddenly became darker, as if it was dark.

But you must know that there is never night in the Heavenly Court. The appearance of such a different appearance and the immortals were shocked, and the surroundings immediately became chaotic.

After a while, everything returned to calm, and the Jade Emperor played by Xie Xian called Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Er to find out what happened.

Qianliyan and Shunfenger immediately took orders to investigate, and after a while, they immediately came back to report that there was a fairy stone in Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The fairy stone was struck by lightning and a stone monkey emerged from it. The strange appearance just now was caused by the birth of the stone monkey.

The Jade Emperor counted with his fingers, and then smiled slightly.

"The things below are born of the essence of heaven and earth, and nothing is different."

After finishing talking, the banquet started again.

If you shoot this section according to the previous method, it is estimated that you must use the means of scenery and light and shadow special effects, it seems that it is difficult to make people feel shocking.

But this time Lin Daoqiu used real scenes plus special effects. The scene where the stone monkey was born just now really went to the mainland to shoot.

Compared with Tsui Hark's "New Swordsman of Shushan" before, it can be said that the improvement of special effects this time has been improved by more than one level.

Without those laser swords and laser cannons, this time the special effects such as golden light look like real.

"If "New Shushan Swordsman" had such special effects, I believe that drama would be very popular."

When Tsui Hark watched "The Return of the Great Sage", he inevitably had such thoughts in his heart.

At the beginning, he fell out with Lin Daoqiu in order to shoot "New Shushan Swordsman", but later spent money to hire a foreign team to do special effects.

It's a pity that the final effect is really not satisfactory, and it's a lot worse than the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" where he fought against him at the time.

When it comes to "The Return of the Great Sage", the gap is even more incomparable.

But this time Tsui Hark is very fortunate, he is glad that he can participate in the production of this drama, and it also relieved his previous regrets to some extent.
