Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 872 Laser Cannon and Sword Qi

The discussion in the tea restaurant was just an isolated example, Tsui Hark and others didn't think too much after listening to it.

After all, if there are people who like "New Shushan Swordsman", there will naturally be people who like "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But at this moment, Tsui Hark suddenly made a request that puzzled Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei.

"Why don't we go and see the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy"? Anyway, there's nothing to do right now."

Now that "New Shushan Swordsman" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are fighting, going to support Lin Daoqiu at this time may not be a good choice.

"Let's talk about it after a while. If you encounter someone now, you will be scribbled on the news again."

Shi Tian shook his head, he did not agree with Tsui Hark's proposal.

Zeng Zhiwei didn't have too many thoughts. Since Shi Tian shook his head, he naturally chose to agree with Shi Tian's suggestion.

"If that's the case, then forget it."

Tsui Hark saw that Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei didn't want to go, and he didn't force each other.

After drinking tea, Tsui Hark said he had something to do and left alone.

"I bet, he must have gone to watch "Legend of Sword and Fairy" alone."

Just as Xu Ke left the tea restaurant, Shi Tian suddenly said such a sentence.

Zeng Zhiwei was not surprised by this, because he had already expected Tsui Hark to do this.

"Mr. Lin's influence on him may be more serious than we thought."

When they were still in Xinyi City, Shi Tian heard that Tsui Hark often went to Lin Daoqiu's magic studio to do odd jobs.

This time, the special effects of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" were all arranged by Magic Studio.

Tsui Hark, who admires special effects technology, naturally wanted to take a look.

In the end, what level of magic studio's special effects technology has reached today, and how big is the gap with the "Star Wars" team he invited.

After finding a remote theater, wearing a hat and sunglasses, Tsui Hark planned to buy a ticket to enter the theater quietly after some disguise.

But what he didn't expect was that there was still a queue at this time.

"New Shushan Swordsman" was screened at Golden Harvest Theatre. Except for the leading theaters, the queues were almost full in other remote places.

I didn't expect that there would be queues for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at such a remote theater between four and five o'clock in the afternoon.

Feeling the pressure on my shoulders, it suddenly became a lot heavier.

After queuing for half an hour, Tsui Hark finally bought a ticket. After receiving the ticket, he lowered the brim of his hat and entered the theater.

Five o'clock is the time to get off work. If it is later, there will only be more people queuing up later.

It can be said that Tsui Hark picked a very good time, and he was able to buy a ticket after only waiting for half an hour.

If he came later, I'm afraid he would have to wait for a long time.

Entering the theater with a ticket, in the darkness, I finally found my seat, and the big screen was already lit up.

When editing Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman", in the first 10 minutes, except for a small part, special effects were used.

Most of them are about the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and what happened to the little pawn Di Mingqi.

But "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is different. As soon as the movie started, Li Xiaoyao in the dream began to fight against the master.

Yujian Flying Immortal, with sword aura vertically and horizontally, flashing and moving, dazzled people.

And unlike the Star Wars aurora cannon effect, when Lin Daoqiu was making special effects, he clearly asked for sword energy, not laser cannon.

In "New Shushan Swordsman", laser cannons are used a lot, Tsui Hark thinks it is quite good.

But when he saw the sword energy in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Tsui Hark had to admit that Lin Daoqiu's skill was indeed much better than his own.

With the development of the plot, Tsui Hark's frown became deeper and deeper.

It's not because "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not good-looking, but because he found that the biggest difference between "New Shushan Swordsman" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the difference in plot besides the special effects.

Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman" needs to finish a story within one and a half hours.

In order not to let the film feel procrastinated, Tsui Hark put a lot of thought into editing and discarded a lot of things.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu was so courageous that he directly made a 120-minute version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Moreover, Tsui Hark has read the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" before, so he still has some understanding of this play.

At this time, the serialization of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is still going on and has not ended, but the plot has already surpassed the stage of the demon lock tower.

In the movie version, the plot of this drama only talks about the Demon Locking Tower. It seems that Lin Daoqiu plans to make two, or even three.

When the boulder fell from Lin Yueru's head, the plot ended here.

At this time, the audience in the theater all let out a cry of surprise, and it seemed that everyone had a feeling that they still had something to say.

Tsui Hark, who was already fascinated, couldn't help but want to continue watching, but when the subtitles appeared, he got up and left the theater quickly.

Back home from the theater, Tsui Hark had a very serious expression all the way.

Originally, at the beginning, he still maintained a very optimistic attitude towards "New Shushan Swordsman" defeating "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But after he finished watching "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Tsui Hark suddenly realized that he might have taken it for granted before.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shi Nansheng saw that Tsui Hark seemed to be looking down, so she hurried forward to check.

"I'm fine, I just watched "Legend of Sword and Fairy" just now."

Tsui Hark said as he walked towards the sofa.

Shi Nansheng, who was standing next to Tsui Hark, heard what the other party said, and then she realized that the reason why Tsui Hark became like this was probably because of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"How was the filming of Mr. Lin's film? I heard that the response was quite good."

Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng not only have no resentment towards Lin Daoqiu, but also admire each other very much.

Even when no one is around, they will not speak ill of Lin Daoqiu.

"The special effects of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be regarded as a new peak of Hong Kong's local films, and it is more than one level stronger than "New Shushan Swordsman"."

When Tsui Hark said this, it seemed that he felt very lonely.

Originally, Tsui Hark thought that if he invited the special effects team of "Star Wars" to help, he would be able to draw a tie with Lin Daoqiu, and even overwhelm him.

But now it seems that I have taken it for granted.

Tsui Hark even felt that it was normal for "New Shushan Swordsman" to lose to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time.

　Thank you, can you afford it? , Unscrupulous, big monthly tickets, everyone!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
