434 [Special Blockbuster Rainbow Superman]
Not long after, after Huo Yaowen watched the last studio with He Zuozhi and others, he suddenly remembered that the Spring Festival would be celebrated in more than a month, and he couldn't help but say: "By the way, Manager He, how about you say that our TV station will have a party on the eve of the broadcast?"
"Evening?" He Zuozhi was stunned.
"Isn't it about to be the Spring Festival? We can hold a Spring Festival Gala, invite some popular singers or actors to perform programs, and arrange some operas, acrobatics, and so on, to attract the first batch of viewers to watch our Phoenix TV. ”
"This ......"
He Zuozhi thought for a while, turned his head to look at Sun Yubiao, the manager of the program department, and asked, "What do you think, Manager Sun?"
Sun Yubiao nodded: "The chairman's suggestion is very good, our Phoenix TV station is on the air for the first time, it should be different, this Spring Festival couplet... Gala, I think I can give it a try. If we just arrange some programs, it is still very easy to arrange, and we can also record and broadcast in advance, so as to avoid some live broadcast accidents. ”
After He Zuozhi heard this, he hesitated: "The party is good, but if it starts in advance, our program and TV series haven't been done yet, and there is no program broadcast the next day, wouldn't it be worse?"
Hearing this, Huo Yaowen frowned, this was indeed a little annoying.
"Actually, I have a solution. ”
Liang Shuyi, the production manager standing in the back, suddenly said: "If you choose the script to start filming now, you can actually rush to work within a month, I have worked at TVB for several years, and they can shoot a TV series in a month at the earliest, and we can also broadcast while filming." ”
Liang Shuyi was poached by He Zuozhi from TVB, and along with her, there are also a group of employees poached from Li's TV station.
"What about the show?" asked He Zuozhi.
"During the morning and afternoon educational programs, we can get programs from Hong Kong Educational Television to cope with them, and after that, we are producing them ourselves. The rest of the time is roughly spent airing news programs and TV dramas......"
Liang Shuyi's method is to work overtime and overtime.
Huo Yaowen nodded: "Then according to Manager Liang's plan, everyone will work overtime, and the overtime pay should be a lot, if necessary, you can contact Huanyu Film Company, they also have a lot of people over there who can help, I will ask them." ”
Because Phoenix TV has to broadcast popular science education programs, it has certain defects in nature, so if you want to open and improve it, you must make high-quality programs and TV series.
But now on the eve of the opening of the stage, I can't take care of it so much, let's accumulate a group of audiences for the time being, and then talk about it, as for the future shows, Huo Yaowen already has a plan in his heart.
Whether it is an entertainment variety show or a popular science education program, he has watched a lot of it in his later life, even if he takes out dozens of them at once, it is not a problem.
The simplest entertainment category is the talent show, which is almost a long-standing program type.
As for the mandatory popular science education programs, you can engage in a complete collection of Chinese characters, or idiom contests, enter science, the animal world, etc., all of which belong to popular science education.
If it really doesn't work, let's have a Hong Kong version of "Millionaire?"
This should also belong to educational programs, exchanging knowledge for wealth?
If that's not enough, then we'll have to find a way to open a few more channels.
……
On the other side, Shaw Brothers Film Company.
"Chairman, this is the script written by the screenwriter below, and it's still very good after I've read it, but if you want to shoot it, you need to make a lot of models, which may require a lot of money. ”
The manager of the Shaw Brothers production department looked at Uncle Shao Liu with some embarrassment, except for the "Great Warlord" the year before last, the Shaw Brothers film investment cost about one million, and so far there has been no investment in that movie that has exceeded one million.
There are also many movies that only cost more than 100,000 yuan, but once they are released in Hong Kong and Nanyang, they can still make a lot of money.
Uncle Shao Liu nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about funds, I will invest 3 million Hong Kong dollars in this movie, not to achieve the kind of "1999", at least to make the desired effect." ”
Since the third TV photo was not taken down last year, coupled with the deliberate suppression of Li Xiaohe, the major shareholder of TVB, Uncle Shao Liushu has shifted his focus back to movies.
The sci-fi movie "1999", which swept the global box office of 800 million not long ago, made Huo Yaowen make a lot of money, and also let Uncle Shao see the logo of the Universal Film Company at the beginning of the film, which once worried him.
You must know that Shaw Brothers is his base camp, and it must not be lost, there was a traitor Zou Wenhuai who established Jiahe before, and now there is another wealthy Huo Yaowen, who is really forced to have no choice, Shao Sixth Uncle decided to follow the trend and make a science fiction movie to rub off on this wave of popularity, relying on the distribution channels operated by Shaw Brothers for decades, and making a lot of money after the release.
"Three million should be enough. ”
The manager of the production department was also relieved when he heard that the chairman had invested 3 million, although this money could not compare to the huge investment of 40 million US dollars in "1999", but it was one of the best in Hong Kong.
"Rainbow Man?"
Uncle Shao Liu picked up the script handed over by the manager, and when he saw the name of the script, he couldn't help frowning, this name is not very attractive. Look down, the screenwriter is actually Ni Frame!
Ni Frame's sci-fi is still very good.
With patience, Uncle Shao turned the first page and read it slowly.
"Future World, the Institute of Space Science, has learned that there are monsters from the Ice Age that will endanger all humans on Earth, these monsters are fierce and abnormal, with vast magical powers, and have great ambitions to dominate the entire world. In order to deal with these monsters, Liu Yingde, director of the Institute of Science, used his decades of research experience to make the brave scientific researcher Lei Ma into an all-powerful superman. A battle between Superman and the monster began......"
Well, this plot is very familiar, a bit like Ultraman in Japan, in fact, screenwriter Ni Box is indeed borrowing from Ultraman, a popular special film in Japan, adding a little Chinese elements, and re-adapting it into a new special effects film!
How to say it, this movie not only borrows from the setting of Ultraman, whether it is the style of the monster's appearance, or the setting of the transformation, and the image of transforming into Superman, but also borrows from the classic move of Superman in the American DC Comics, Superman Light.
However, in this movie, it is not launched from the eyes, but from the set of armor worn by the actor that can be transformed, according to the setting, it can only be used when the armor absorbs solar energy in the presence of the sun, and the light is small but quite powerful, and the shot is inextinguishable.
This is also the reason why the name of the movie is "Rainbow Man".
However, on the eve of the release, the director felt that the name was not good and not loud enough, so he changed the name to "Chinese Superman". ”
Although this is a bizarre film that blends miscellaneous and miscellaneous settings, it can be said to be China's first tokusatsu film, and it can be regarded as a precedent in China.
According to the original history, the film should not start filming until the end of the year, and the box office is not very ideal.
It's just that now that there is the sci-fi blockbuster "1999" in front, Hong Kong audiences are still looking forward to sci-fi movies, so it seems that the box office of this movie should be much better than that of another time and space.
