Chapter 135: Super Storm (4)

In a theater in the Xiangjiang DreamWorks Cinema Line, "Jurassic Park" is being screened, and the theater is already crowded with people at this time.

"Oh my God, this is a special effect?"

"The crew won't be shooting real dinosaurs. ”

"Crazy line, the dinosaur has long been dead, it must be a special effect!"

"I don't read much, don't lie to me, those dinosaurs are vivid, you use special effects to make them for me?"

"If I could have done it, I would have gone to work in a film company. ”

“……”

Not only ordinary audiences, but also the competitors of Heung Kong DreamWorks were also frightened by the realistic special effects on the screen.

"This ...... It's incredible. He Guanchang said in a low voice.

Zou Wenhuai is the same: "Yes, you look at those dinosaurs, you don't know and think it's true." ”

In the box of another theater, Shao Yifu sat up straight, his eyes staring at the big screen without blinking. His expression looked calm, but he couldn't help but open his mouth, which was enough to show his shock at the film.

Although he is in his 80s, he has developed the habit of watching movies every day since he was a teenager, and it has been the same until now. "Terminator" Run Run Shaw has seen it, although the special effects in it are amazing, but they are not as shocking as the original "Star Wars".

And this "Jurassic Park" gave Shao Yifu a feeling when he first watched "Star Wars", this is a movie comparable to "Star Wars"!

has nothing to do with the plot of the movie or the connotation of the film, Shao Yifu believes that "Jurassic Park" is comparable to "Star Wars", referring to the influence of the two movies in film history, which is enough to cause a change in film technology!

Shaw couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Wang Jie, and what happened after that, all of a sudden, Shaw felt that he was right to leave the film industry, this era of big movies no longer belonged to him, and he would never have a chance to make a comeback.

Unlike Shao Yifu's thoughts, Yishu and other film critics were pleasantly surprised, and the excitement of "Jurassic Park" was completely beyond their expectations.

"Jurassic Park was successfully released, and prehistoric beasts ravaged Xiangjiang"

"The 100 million dollar blockbuster has amazing special effects, and the cannibal dinosaur reappears in the world"

"The Great Films That Moved the World"

《……》

In addition to the low-level black scolding of the pale plot of "Jurassic Park", many film critics in Xiangjiang did not hesitate to praise Wang Jie's "Jurassic Park" to the sky.

A film review in "Film Fortnightly" wrote: "If you look at the plot, "Jurassic Park" is not much different from traditional science fiction films: bizarre scientific experiments and human greed for profit are consumed by human desires, and finally cause disasters by themselves, and the heroes and heroines are finally rescued and reborn after hardships."

If that's all there is to it, then there's no need to dwell on it. The uniqueness of "Jurassic Park" lies in its perfect recreation of the prehistoric creature dinosaur, which proved to be the $100 million spent by director William. Without the slightest flaw, a fierce or docile dinosaur stands in front of you like hundreds of millions of years of time completely frozen.

"Star Wars" of that year triggered a round of film technology innovation and was permanently recorded in the history of films, and "Jurassic Park" can be regarded as "Star Wars" in another sense.

As a practitioner of Xiangjiang films, the author has to proudly say: Although "Jurassic Park" is produced by an American director and a special effects company, the assistant director, one of the distributors, the male and female protagonists and a large part of the film team behind the scenes are completely from Xiangjiang, which is an indisputable Hong Kong film!"

Even without the media's praise, the name of Wang Jie and DreamWorks Group in Xiangjiang, coupled with the publicity stunt of the $100 million blockbuster, is enough to attract countless Xiangjiang fans to the cinema.

Anyone who has watched "Jurassic Park" has not been surprised by the dinosaur special effects in it, and they have recommended it to relatives and friends after watching it.

The super high reputation and enthusiastic reports of the media make audiences who rarely watch movies can't help but go into the theater to see what is going on.

How popular is Jurassic Park?

Some people go to the movie theater of DreamWorks Cinemas early in the morning in order to watch a show, because the audience for the morning show is relatively small. But after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there were no empty seats in the screening room of "Jurassic Park".

On the first day, it is full, and the next day, it is full, and it is full, and it is full......

If you don't buy tickets a few hours in advance, you won't want to see Jurassic Park that day, unless you're watching the morning and midnight shows.

In the first week, "Jurassic Park" collected 20.8 million box office, which directly shocked peers speechless. It's only been a week, and the box office has broken the 20 million mark, so don't you let others live?

From mid-August to September, the autumn season is full of sorrow, and many viewers would rather go into the movie over and over again to watch "Jurassic Park" than go to other films. In this way, the box office of "Jurassic Park" rose like a rocket, and in just three and a half weeks, it broke the box office record set by all previous films in Hong Kong, and mercilessly broke the 50 million box office mark.

The first Hong Kong film with a box office of more than 50 million was born!

Don't worry, the show has just begun.

When "Jurassic Park" was released in the sixth week, the first Hong Kong film with a box office of more than 60 million was born!

The crazy box office feast has not yet ended, "Jurassic Park" was screened for two months, and finally won 66 million box office.

When this box office data appeared in the newspaper, the bosses of film and theater companies such as Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng were directly stupid.

A few years ago, the local box office of the Hong Kong film "True Colors of Heroes" broke 35 million, and everyone thought that one day it would break the 45 million box office mark. But "Jurassic Park" set a record of 50 million as soon as it came up, not to mention, and by the way, it also broke the 60 million mark without much effort, and it exceeded a few millions.

The box office was surpassed by Wang Jie a little bit, and those people may still be jealous, but when encountering the ungodly situation of "Jurassic Park", everyone doesn't even have the mind to blush, so they are only shocked and sighing.

Why don't we make a special effects blockbuster too?

Many bosses of Heung Kong Film Company think so, but they can't make up their minds at the end.

Now it is popular in the Hong Kong film industry to use the funds given by the investors of Bay Island to invite celebrities to make films to quickly make money at the overseas box office. "Jurassic Park", a sci-fi blockbuster with huge investment, long production cycle and high risk, is usually okay to fantasize, but no fool is really willing to pay for it.

Yes, even with Xiangjiang DreamWorks, the first to eat crabs, no company dares to follow suit.

In the first two years, Zou Wenhuai had a hot brain, and he shot two movies with a cost of tens of millions for his actors in a row, and Zou Wenhuai regretted it afterwards. Because the investment has become larger, but the box office has not increased much compared with the ordinary cost of films, but it has made Golden Harvest's capital chain embarrassed for a while.

Small investment, high return, and low risk, compared with huge investment, high return, and high risk, smart businessmen will choose the former.

The vicious circle of Xiangjiang films makes Xiangjiang films bound to decline, which is a historical inevitability, and perhaps in the end, only Wang Jie's dream factory will become the only seedling and exception.
