Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2174 Take it down after filming

Lin Daoqiu had high expectations for Taiqin Yinghua Village at the beginning, but after he learned the real situation, Lin Daoqiu had to lower his expectations by a long way.

In two months, there were several Heian-era buildings in Taiqin Yinghua Village. Of course, it would take at least a year to complete the construction.

Lin Daoqiu just had someone build it up, so that it doesn't show any flaws from the outside.

As for the interior decoration, Lin Daoqiu only asked people to make some simple decorations for the main scenes. Most of the places are actually similar to rough, just put some things on it and it's done hastily.

But even so, Shigeru Okada, the president of Toei, was already very satisfied, and he even planned to ask Lin Daoqiu to name this Heian period building.

"No, I plan to tear down these buildings after filming."

Lin Daoqiu's words frightened Okada Shigeru on the spot. He never thought that Lin Daoqiu would be able to do such a thing.

He first dropped [-] million yuan back and forth, and then added another [-] million yuan to get out of this Heian period building.

But Lin Daoqiu actually told him that he would demolish the building after the filming of "Onmyoji", which is really a prodigal.

Naturally, Okada Shigeru is absolutely impossible and will never agree with Lin Daoqiu to do this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.

"Mr. Lin, this is absolutely unacceptable, please leave this area to Taiqin Film Village."

Dongying had to spend a lot of money, and there was no money at all to expand Taiqin Yinghua Village. This time, Lin Daoqiu finally paid for the construction of an area. Okada Shigeru was very happy. At this time, the other party suddenly said that he would wait for "Yin Yang" How could Shigeru Okada agree to demolish this area after the filming of "The Master" is finished.

"No, I don't want future movies to have scenes similar to "Onmyoji". I hope you can understand this."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think about keeping this area at all, otherwise the scenes of "Onmyoji" will often appear in Neon movies and TV series in the future, which is not what Lin Daoqiu wants to see.

"But...but you spent a total of [-] million yen to build this area, wouldn't it be..."

Shigeru Okada couldn't bear to say that Lin Daoqiu was a prodigal. This is something that no one can do. This is clearly burning money.

"It's nothing to worry about. After shooting "Onmyoji" in this area, its mission has been fulfilled. If President Okada wants to expand, I certainly have no objection, but I will not keep these scenes."

Since Lin Daoqiu said so, it is impossible for Okada Shigeru to force the other party to keep this place.

Just thinking that this magnificent building will be demolished after the filming of "Onmyoji" is over, Okada Shigeru is really unhappy, and he even feels very sad.

Seeing Shigeru Okada's mood suddenly became a little depressed, Lin Daoqiu comforted him.

"Don't worry, President Okada. When you earn money in the future, you can find a way to expand the Taiqin Film Village and build some better scenes. You don't need to worry about this."

Although it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu's words to really comfort Okada Shigeru, it still gives him some longing.

After the "Onmyoji" trilogy is released, Okada Shigeru thinks that Toei will be able to share some money no matter what. At that time, we will see if we can use this money to expand the venue of Taiqin Film Village. After all, Toei is really short of money, and not only the Toei family is like this, even Shochiku's situation is similar.

There is only one film company that is not short of money in Neon, and that is Dongbao.

But even Dongbao can't compare with Lin Daoqiu. If you calculate carefully, Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental and MGM's annual film production costs are probably worth the investment of the entire Neon film circle.

So although Okada Shigeru felt very sorry that Lin Daoqiu did not keep this area, he did not think that cooperating with Lin Daoqiu would be harmful to Toei.

He has even started to think that one day Toei will be able to cooperate with Hollywood in blockbuster films, of course, there is still a long way to go.

After inspecting the buildings of Taiqin Yinghua Village, Lin Daoqiu called Somi Shinji and Kuriyama Tomio over and asked them to start the stage of trial shooting.

This time, before the filming of "Onmyoji" officially started, a trial shooting had to be carried out to see if there were any problems.

Since it was a test shoot, naturally they didn't bring in the hero and heroine. Instead, they randomly found a group of extras and the like to shoot for a few days.

Tomio Kuriyama and Shinji Soyone supervised for a few days respectively. After a week passed, the trial shooting officially ended. Generally, no major problems were found.

It's just that some buildings still have some deficiencies in visual effects due to the rush of work, so they have to be refurbished.

After more than two months of busy work, the filming of "Onmyoji" in Neon officially started.

During these two months, Zimilins' team has made all preparations, and the main actors such as Nomura Takeji and Yakushi Maru Hiroko have also undergone physical and martial arts training during this period. People from the Yuan Family Class were in charge, and this time the martial arts director Lin Daoqiu was hired by Yuan Heping, which shows how much he attaches importance to this drama.

After all, "Onmyoji" is Lin Daoqiu's first film with neon as the main theme, and it is also the beginning of his competition with Dongbao, so Lin Daoqiu strives to make shocking films in all three films Feel.

Once "Onmyoji" can be successful at that time, I believe that the Asian cinema chain will make a good start with Neon.

As long as Dongbao can be defeated, even if the Asian cinema chain is not the leader in Nihong, it is believed that there will be no rivals for a long time.

So this opening gesture is very important to Lin Daoqiu, which is why he personally prepared and filmed "Onmyoji" this time.

Toho's president Naogami Matsui has already learned that "Onmyoji" has entered the stage of real filming, and this is what he is most worried about.

Although I spent [-] million yuan to set up a special effects studio, this kind of thing is not something that can be done just by saying it, and it will take at least a few years to accumulate experience.

But the problem now is that if you want to develop the special effects studio as soon as possible, you have to learn from Lin Daoqiu who spent money on blockbuster movies to provide experience for the special effects team.

So Matsui Naogami held a press conference, at which he announced Toho's next filming plan, and of course several blockbuster films would appear.
