Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 864 Which is better and which is worse
Although in this place of Xiangjiang, Lin Daoqiu was the first to make the premiere of the movie broadcast on TV.

However, this does not mean that this matter can only be done by him alone.

For the movie "New Shushan Swordsman", Bao Shaogang invested a full 5000 million yuan before.

Leaving aside the films that Lin Daoqiu invested in, this investment of 5000 million is definitely the highest among local films in Hong Kong.

That's why Golden Harvest came up with the idea this time to cooperate with TVB and broadcast the premiere of "New Shushan Swordsman".

After all, Shaw Brothers has withdrawn from Xiangjiang's film market, and the previous grievances and grievances have long since gone with the wind.

And this time, Golden Harvest paid for TVB to rebroadcast.

If there is something to make money, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat-wah will naturally not refuse.

And they also hope that Golden Harvest can withstand Lin Daoqiu and slow down the development of New Oriental.

Only in this way can they buy more time and make Wireless's position in Xiangjiang more solid.

So when Golden Harvest approached Wireless, the two hit it off.

And this time, TVB's artist Zheng Shaoqiu is used as the leading actor in "New Shushan Swordsman".

Therefore, as the host of the premiere of "New Shushan Swordsman", TVB specially arranged for Feifei Shen Dianxia to be the host.

It can be said that Wireless has given Golden Harvest enough face.

However, before the release of "New Shushan Swordsman" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the box office hadn't even started yet, and the pen battle started first.

Everyone is arguing whether the investment in "New Shushan Swordsman" is greater, or the production cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is more.

From the very beginning, almost most people who followed the drama "New Shushan Swordsman" knew it.

At the beginning, Bao Shaogang invested a full 5000 million yuan to make this movie.

But on the contrary, Lin Daoqiu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" did not say how much the production cost was from the beginning to the end.

And the cast of this drama doesn't seem to be the top one.

Both Leslie Cheung and Chen Yulian have developed a lot on the TV side, and Li Saifeng is a complete newcomer.

So judging from the fame of the actors, "New Shushan Swordsman" can be said to have completely defeated "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

If you think about this point, you will find that the remuneration of the actors in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will definitely not be high.

Some reporters even put words in the newspaper, saying that the investment in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will not exceed 500 million at most.

If this is the case, then the production cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is ten times lower than that of "New Shushan Swordsman".

Before the film was released, such arguments had been chattering endlessly, and even reached Lin Daoqiu's ears.

"Brother Qiu, has the investment in "New Shushan Swordsman" exceeded 500 million?"

When Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were chatting with Lin Daoqiu that day, they finally couldn't bear it and asked out their doubts.

"what do y'all think?"

Lin Daoqiu looked up at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, then lowered his head and continued to process the documents.

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun tilted his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an accurate answer.

Although Lin Daoqiu told Hu Jinquan at the beginning, there is no upper limit for the investment of this film, so he can shoot whatever he wants.

Hu Jinquan was very happy at first, but when he took over the position of director, he suddenly found that he really didn't seem to have anything to spend money on.

When I returned to the mainland to film, apart from building some scenes needed for "Legend of Sword and Fairy", there were not many places to spend money.

And at this time, the wages in the mainland are very low, even if they spend money to hire extras, they can't spend much at all.

Therefore, the biggest cost of the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was spent on making special effects.

But as for how much money was spent on special effects, even Hu Jinquan didn't know this.

"Actually, the answer is very simple, it exceeds, or it does not exceed, but no matter what it is, if the movie is not good, it is useless to spend more money."

The filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already been finished, and now it is pointless to discuss how much the film cost.

"I can only tell you that the production cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is definitely not low, and you have seen the effects. Do you think this drama is worth 5000 million?"

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were immediately speechless.

After watching the preview of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", both Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were shocked by the special effects in it.

They never expected that after adding special effects to the Xianxia movie, they would look like this.

Zheng Danrui was the first to react. He thought about it carefully, and if he gave his own answer.

"I think it must be worth 5000 million."

At least among all Xiangjiang's current movies, the special effects production level of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" must be the highest.

Although I haven't seen the movie clip of "New Shushan Swordsman", Zheng Danrui is willing to bet.

Tsui Hark's new film is absolutely inferior to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in terms of special effects.

"I hope that you will not waste your time on these boring things in the future. If you are free, you can go back to ATV to help me coordinate the broadcast at that time.

With a wave of his hand, he drove these two guys out of his office. Lin Daoqiu didn't want to waste time on these meaningless things.

…………

On the other hand, the post-production of "New Shushan Swordsman" has been completed.

For this work, Tsui Hark can be said to have devoted all his efforts.

Regarding the special effects of this movie, Tsui Hark thinks that it is the best in all Xiangjiang's current movies.

After all, in order to get the special effects of "New Shushan Swordsman" well, he not only invited the "Star Wars" team.

And it also invested a huge amount of money for this. The special effects of this film accounted for almost [-]% of the film's production cost.

Having spent so much money and hired such a good team, Tsui Hark can be said to be very confident in the special effects of "New Shushan Swordsman".

"How's the situation in "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

The affairs of "New Shushan Swordsman" have been arranged in an orderly manner.

Now Tsui Hark is most concerned about his opponent this time.

In the past, once Lin Daoqiu's name was displayed, it would make people feel powerless.

Don't talk about contending, I'm afraid the best result is to lose less and win more.

But this time, Tsui Hark was very confident in himself.

"The audition session over there ended a few days ago. I asked a few of them, but none of them attended the audition session, so they don't know the specific situation."

That day, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, and Teddy Robin didn't attend the preview of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", so Shi Nansheng couldn't get any useful information from them.

"I don't know what kind of surprise Mr. Lin will give me this time. I'm really looking forward to it."

Tsui Hark couldn't help but want to take a quick look at Lin Daoqiu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and his own "New Shushan Swordsman".
