Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 163 A sad local production

With the trio's combing, the plot of "Construction: Seed of Destruction and War" is basically determined.

The qualities cultivated by the male protagonist since childhood, the blessing of the moon god, and the sacrifice of his mother are quickly brought by dream scenes. After the protagonist wakes up, he lies by the campfire and sits alongside Mordred, the number one knight under Archimonde.

Then, the plot progresses to the Archimonde family castle, and the dialogue in the volcanic cemetery is the focus. Instead, I will enter the mage tower of the legendary mage Su Hailun, where a large number of encounters have to be deleted, mainly describing the male protagonist’s production of the first magic pattern construct, an advanced constructor.

There are two main lines of love interspersed in the middle, of course with Su Hailun and the mountain and the sea.

Returning to the legendary city of Faust is to use sacrifice as the main line to bring out the abyssal demons and **** demons, as well as several related families in Faust. The core point is to get the seed of destruction and war, which is the brood.

The last paragraph starts with the expedition to a new plane. After others have tampered with the coordinates, reaching a strange high-level plane is the end of the first part. This leaves a suspense for the next sequel, which can be a good link to the plot.

With so many scene transitions and plot unfolding, Luo Junyan decided to shoot this film as a 120-minute standard movie. The background can be blurred, the characters can be full in the sequel, but the narrative must be clear and perfect.

How magnificent is "Construction: Seed of Destruction and War"? It is certain that the filming in Busan will not be able to produce the effect of the illusion, the mainland is the only option, otherwise it will cost several times to go to the United States to shoot.

Therefore, this film must be co-produced by mainland film and television companies. Even if it is not for the mainland market, there is no second way to go. Brother Cong simply estimated that the production cost of this first part is at least 500 million Hong Kong dollars, but many things can be used in the sequel, and the cost will be reduced after sharing.

What is the concept of 500 million Hong Kong dollars? Nowadays, Hollywood productions are all A-level big productions, and there are only a few films that can be made in a year. But the screenwriter, director, and starring role are all owned by Snowman Century, which has taken a big advantage. Otherwise, box office dividends can eat up the production company's profits.

Just when Snowman Century was fully preparing for a new film, "The Lord of the Rings: Angel of the Ring" landed on the Xiangjiang market. The theme of this film belongs to Western fantasy, which is different from the theme of "Construction". However, after watching the film, Luo Junyan still found a lot of inspiration, especially for the use of CG special effects.

"Construction" has unprecedentedly high requirements for Gemini digital special effects, and of course the charges will be sky-high. This difficulty is not only reflected in the production technology, but also in the production cycle. "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" only took a year to render with CG shots.

Old Joe presided over the improved rendering of Nebula this time. Relying on this dude's wild ideas, rendering efficiency can be increased by a full 20%, and the visual effect will never be reduced.

For the first time, Luo Junyan felt that the money to update the equipment was worthwhile, and technically backward means being eliminated, just like the situation of Xiangjiang Special Effects Company today. Don't be dissatisfied, even if you leave "Lord of the Rings" to them, it is estimated that it will have to cut corners to complete it in 5 years.

Don't blame others for being eliminated by the market, as long as you do well enough, the audience will definitely recognize it.

"Initial D" won a box office of 42 million U.S. dollars in the North American market in one fell swoop. This was a result that no one had expected beforehand. Are there Hollywood stars in it? There are not even white actors.

Movies are selling well because they have a good finishing touch. American audiences who have watched the movie have the urge to go racing when they leave the scene. This is a thought implantation brought by the sense of sight.

Because of the emergence of "Initial D", Hollywood quickly followed up with the filming of "Fast and Furious" with a script that had already been archived. There is no other reason, because the actors are Hollywood stars, so the stars can only be icing on the cake. The Hollywood stars want to make the flowers bloom more brilliantly.

In the following days, Luo Junyan was busy looking for a joint producer. South Korea's Silver Snow Throne Entertainment will definitely follow the investment, and Toho Co., Ltd. will get it done in a short period of time. Only the mainland film and television companies need to search.

The best choice is undoubtedly the Chinese film co-production company. The influence of the Guozi prefix is ​​beyond doubt.

But lobbying is not easy, and it can even be said that the opportunities for cooperation are slim. Because "Construction" contains too many violent and **** war scenes, it is hard to say how much is left after the deletion. If the possibility of being released in the mainland is very small, then there is no possibility of attracting people to participate in investment.

Things will always turn around. Sister Xi helped contact New Picture Films, a private film company. Sister Xi has cooperated with this film and television company many times, including the production of "Hero", and many of the big names in Hong Kong are recommended by her in the past.

To say that there is no fear that the mainland will not be able to pass the trial, that is a rhetoric that can only be released after drinking too much. However, the boss of this film company ultimately chose to participate in the investment in "Construction". Luo Junyan’s reputation is one aspect. The most important thing is that Luo Junyan has a saying that is very appetizing for him. Competing on the same stage, it is hard to say whether you fight or not, but you have to try it at least once.

In the youngest years, who didn't have the ambition to be unfulfilled and would rather die than surrender?

In the end, "Construction: Seed of Destruction and War" was jointly produced by four companies, with a total investment of 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Among them, Snowman Century invested 200 million Hong Kong dollars as a producer, accounting for 50% of the investment. Silver Snow Throne Entertainment invested 120 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 20% of the investment. Dongbao Films invested 120 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investment accounted for 20%. New Picture Films invested 60 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 10% of the investment.

This will be an Asian super super A-level production, and the production cost is unprecedented. The risk is equally horrifying. The global box office will have to win at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars before reaching the break-even point.

As soon as the news came out, the share prices of several listed companies all fell. This is not a question of believing or disbelief. There is no expectation of miracles in the business rules. Risk is always the focus of capital's attention. The probability of this film's return to its capital is really too small.

Even Brother Cheng is not optimistic about this film, and I look forward to it with less compensation. After all the things that should be prepared are ready, the cost of the next one will be controllable, and when the second one is released, you will be able to see the money back.

Luo Junyan doesn't care about this now, and Qian Shouyi has returned from Canada. The suspect’s family had long since died. The cause of death was a traffic accident. It was a large truck and the driver was a Canadian native.

Regardless of whether it was extinguished or not, the clues are now broken, and Qian Shouyi will find it difficult to track down.

Luo Junyan decided to meet with Park Daxun, the chairman of the MAX Group. Since they are all in the entertainment industry, it is easy to find an excuse for the appointment. Unless Park Daxun’s acting skills are superb, he will definitely show his feet, and Luo Junyan is still very confident in his observation.

In October, after inspecting the construction of the Busan studio, Luo Junyan and Park Daxun met because they wanted to invite artists from MAX Entertainment to star in a new film.

The meeting didn't last long, and the two parties just chatted a few words. Luo Junyan came to see him personally. Park Daxun still has to give him the face. After all, his qualifications in the entertainment industry are too far behind that of Luo Junyan, and after the theater is completed, Luo Junyan will need the film source.

After Luo Junyan got back in the car, he became suspicious in his heart.

According to his intuitive judgment, Park Daxun will definitely not be behind the scenes. Although the old man has a sinister and cruel face, it will not affect Luo Junyan's observation and evaluation. There are too many actors and actresses who have been involved in various genres.

During the chat between the two, Park Daxun accidentally revealed a message. The reason why he switched to the film industry and purchased land to build a theater line was because he was advised by an expert. What kind of expert is it? South Korea is called a goddess, who is a fortune teller.

It is said that Park Daxun has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he would not easily believe in a self-recommended goddess. However, looking at Park Daxun's expression and tone, it seems that he believes in this goddess very much, and there is no disrespect in his words.

Luo Junyan didn't ask for the specific reason, and the goddess also traveled around the world without even asking her name.

Things can only be let go first, Luo Junyan would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. Today, if it weren't for the setting of the dragon of time and destiny in "Construction", Park Daxun would not be allowed to leak and expose the goddess. This proves that Park Daxun was also used as a guise.

The investigation has temporarily come to an end. "Construction: Seed of Destruction and War" will begin to select actors for the characters in the film. This time, it is not limited to skin color, Asian or European and American actors can be invited, and the casting time will be very long.

Sister Xi was recalled to the Xiangjiang headquarters by Luo Junyan. She was the host of this casting audition and the first recommender. The list of winners of the primary election was finalized by Huo Wenxi.

Luo Junyan does not value the popularity of actors, but only value their acting skills and professionalism. In this type of film, the actors will be extremely hard-working during the filming process, and actors who can't bear the hardship will definitely not work. They will have to run away in the middle of the filming.

This time, although it is not an audition in the Asian entertainment industry, its influence is also earth-shattering. Several major film companies in the four countries and three regions jointly produced a super production of up to 500 million Hong Kong dollars. No artist is not tempted. This is a great opportunity to become a world-famous star in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, not only representatives from various film and television companies and entertainment agencies came in, but Asia also set off a wave of "construction" cosplay star acting shows.

Regardless of whether you can be selected or not, you can dress up first, and the best character image is more convincing.

Driven by celebrities from all over the world, "Construction" comics have taken Asia by storm, with countless fans. The Snow Country Entertainment Network built by Hu Xin took the opportunity to purchase and show short videos of major celebrities Cosplay, and vigorously promoted the site. The click-through rate and the number of registrations rose linearly.

Now, on the eve of the bursting of the Internet bubble, the dilemma of weak growth has become clear. Xueguo Entertainment.com was able to rise against the trend, and its website traffic grew extremely fast, which attracted the attention of many large-scale Internet technology companies in the United States. Unfortunately, no matter how much the asking price was, Hu Xin ignored it.

Unknowingly, it was the end of the year, the actor primaries had already had results, and things were progressing smoothly.

In 2002, the production of Xiangjiang in Hong Kong can only be described as being defeated.

Hollywood movies are as **** and hideous as if they are in the land of no one.

Out of the top ten in the annual box office rankings, foreign films accounted for seven. The first and second episodes of "Harry Potter" ranked 1st and 2nd with 43.4 million Hong Kong dollars and 38.25 million Hong Kong dollars respectively. "Spider-Man 1" was third at 28.56 million Hong Kong dollars, "Monsters Company" was fourth at 25.77 million Hong Kong dollars, and "Thousands and Thousands" "Looking" was fifth at HK$25.35 million, "Lord of the Rings First Part" was sixth at HK$24.29 million, and "Black Super Special Police Group 2" ranked ninth at HK$20.8 million.

Not only that, the middle and lower box office stalls also accounted for a large number of Hollywood films, the Hong Kong film market was completely lost, and local production companies were mourned.
