Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2267 Quality
After Wen Jun and the others left, New Art City and the others came in the second batch.

Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Teddy Robin, and Huang Baiming.

Shi Tian had long since quit the film industry, and Mai Jia was already in semi-retirement.

The seven-member team of New Art City has been disbanded, but the company New Art City still remains.

With Mai Jia semi-retired, Huang Baiming became the general manager of New Art City.

And Tsui Hark, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin all have their own affairs, and basically rarely stay in New Art City.

If the trajectory of the previous life is followed, New Art City will be disbanded in the end, and then Huang Baiming will jump out and start the Oriental Film Company.

But now because of Lin Daoqiu's presence, New Art City will not be disbanded, but Huang Baiming will continue to take charge of the company.

"It seems that you should also come to visit me."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Tsui Hark and others and asked with a smile.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, everyone laughed.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about me. That incident is just an exception. This kind of thing should not happen again in the future. Let everyone worry about me."

"Mr. Lin is too polite. In fact, we have been worried about your safety all this time. We are relieved to see that you are fine now."

For Lin Daoqiu, not only New Art City, but also he affects the future of Xiangjiang Films.

It can be said that in Xiangjiang's movie circle and even entertainment circle at this time, no one has a higher reputation than Lin Daoqiu.

With Sixth Uncle and Zou Wenhuai already on their way to the west, Lin Daoqiu is naturally the head of Xiangjiang film and television industry.

If something goes wrong with Lin Daoqiu, although Xiangjiang's film and television industry will not collapse, the downward trend is definitely inevitable.

So seeing that Lin Daoqiu was fine, Tsui Hark and the others were naturally very happy.

Because this will not cause any changes in the film and television industry, they can continue according to the previous plan.

"This year's Spring Festival, there are four good movies that will be released at the same time, and Tsui Hark participated in directing two of them. You should learn from him."

When Lin Daoqiu mentioned you, he was referring to Huang Baiming and the others.

This year, Huang Baiming didn't rush to make a film for the Spring Festival because he couldn't think of a good theme for a while.

Moreover, Huang Baiming already knew that the competition for this year's Spring Festival stalls will be very fierce.

Before that, there were even rumors that "007: M" would be registered in this year's Spring Festival file.

If this is the case, there will be five strong films on file by then.

So Huang Baiming postponed the release of his new film until after the Spring Festival, so that at least he could get a good amount of attention.

Even though "007: M" was not released in the Spring Festival file according to everyone's guess before, the current four movies "The True Colors of Heroes", "God of Gamblers 2", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "The True Colors of Men" are enough to make the Spring Festival a reality. The file is full.

"Mr. Lin is too polite. I was just lucky. "The True Colors of a Hero" is a movie that was made before, and it was delayed until this year's Spring Festival. As for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it is not strictly my work. "

The real director and screenwriter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should be Lin Daoqiu. That is to say, Lin Daoqiu had no time at the time and had to go to work in North America, so he recruited Tsui Hark to be a firefighter.

In fact, in the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Tsui Hark's talent did not get much use. Basically, he just followed the script left by Lin Daoqiu, and then continued to shoot according to the previously shot parts.

To say that he is the director of this film, in Tsui Hark's opinion, this is really a bit too high. At least Tsui Hark still has self-knowledge about himself.

After watching the whole film from beginning to end, Tsui Hark felt that if he were to film it, it would be absolutely impossible to produce the quality of the current "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

There are too many plots and shooting techniques in it that he never thought of before.

As for the use of special effects, Tsui Hark had never expected it before.

So directing "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" this time is basically a learning opportunity for him.

"Anyway, your name is written in the director column of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so you don't need to be humble."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Tsui Hark couldn't say anything, so he could only accept the compliment with a smile.

"With the rapid development of special effects film technology, for a period of time in the future, the budget for low-cost special effects films will drop a lot compared to before, thanks to the wide application of special effects technology."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly brought up the topic of special effects movies, which immediately attracted the attention of Tsui Hark and others.

Strictly speaking, only the films made by Lin Daoqiu in Xiangjiang are special effects films in the true sense.

As for the ones made by other people, they didn't even touch the edge of real special effects movies, they were just some gimmicks to attract the audience.

And because "Godzilla" and "1992" have already been screened in Xiangjiang, and there are special effects blockbusters like "Havoc in Heaven".

Therefore, the appetite of Xiangjiang audience has been slowly fed by Lin Daoqiu.

Now the practice of selling dog meat is not easy to use, or honestly classify it into other types.

Once someone dares to put blockbuster special effects in their movies, almost [-]% of them are for cheating money.

Even if some viewers can be tricked into entering the venue, if the quality of the film is not enough, it can only earn some Weibo box office, and it will not make a lot of money at all.

"Originally, the strategy of the Asian theater chain was progressing smoothly, but because of the relationship with Baodao, this strategy was even interrupted for a while..."

"But I believe that in the near future, New Oriental's Asian theater chain strategy will be restarted. At that time, I hope that everyone can improve the quality of their films, because by then you will be targeting audiences from all over Southeast Asia."

If Lin Daoqiu can really expand the market of Xiangjiang Films to the entire Southeast Asia, it will definitely be a very good thing for Tsui Hark and the others.

The entire Xiangjiang film circle can benefit greatly from this.

"I am here to declare to you that if the quality cannot be passed by then, I will not allow these movies to be released in New Oriental's Asian theaters. I have to tell you this in advance, and you have to be mentally prepared. Row."

Since Lin Daoqiu wants to make a strategy for Asian theaters, he will naturally not include some bad movies in it.

At the beginning, Lin Daoqiu naturally had to release a series of high-quality films, because only in this way could more audiences be attracted to buy tickets.

Once the time comes to cultivate those audiences into loyal audiences of Xiangjiang Films, this will not only be a good thing for Lin Daoqiu, but also a very good thing for the entire Xiangjiang Films.
