After watching "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Wang Jing completely lost her mentality and left the cinema convincingly.

In fact, at this time, Wang Jing was still an ideal young director, and he was not as pure as he did later, and he had no pursuit of film art.

Like other young directors, Wang Jing is eager to be more popular and make more money. However, he still hopes to hear praise from the audience, and still has a little hope that he can also shoot classics.

As for Wang Jing in history, he mass-produced bad films and third-level films, it was because he was scolded a lot, and the jar was broken. If a director who is famous for his classic films, most of them will cherish their reputation more, will take the movie more seriously, and will scrutinize the details of the movie more carefully.

Making a bad movie and making a classic movie is sometimes nothing more than a choice between a thought.

If you have always chosen a good script and choose to take the movie seriously, it is possible to make a classic.

But if a director for decades does not pay attention to the details of the film at all, but fools the past. In the long run, after getting used to it, then this director's future achievements will be limited to second-rate and third-rate directors, and he will never become the king of directors in the world!

"Others can take the script, the plot, and every detail of the movie so seriously. Why can't I? Wang Jing gritted her teeth and said, "No! I can do it! In the past, I just didn't want to take movies so seriously, as long as I work hard in the future, I will also make a classic blockbuster with perfect details and majestic atmosphere like "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"! ”

History, once again, has changed slightly! When Wang Jing first debuted, he was stimulated by blockbusters like "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which made his mentality change dramatically.

The bad movie Wang Jing will no longer exist.

Since then, Hong Kong has one more young director who has a persistent pursuit of making classic blockbusters

———————————— the next day, the box office data of Golden Harvest Cinemas was counted.

On the first day of the premiere of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", a total of 90,000 viewers walked into the cinema to watch this martial arts blockbuster. Therefore, the box office of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" reached as much as 650,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Especially in the afternoon and evening, the three screenings were basically full. If it weren't for the restrictions on the number of scheduled shows, then the box office of the first day exceeded one million, and it was not a fool's dream!

Among several other popular movies in Hong Kong, "Happy Fairy Nest" added 270,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office yesterday, "A Thousand Kings Fight a Thousand Tyrants" added 200,000 at the box office yesterday, and "Ghost Fight" was only 160,000 at the box office yesterday because it was the longest time to be released.

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was released for the first time, and the box office decisively ranked first in box office revenue!

Moreover, on March 15, the box office results of "The Legend of Double Dragons of Datang" on that day were more than the sum of the three movies "Happy Fairy Nest", "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" and "Ghost Fighting"!

The first box office is amazing! In the next few days, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was still only screened in 23 cinemas, but the box office was still growing tenaciously.

On March 16, the new box office was 670,000.

On March 17, the new box office was 720,000

Within three days of its release, the cumulative box office was 2.04 million!

This kind of box office has already increased the efficiency of major theaters to the limit. In fact, since the beginning of the 16th, the venue has been full. By the 17th, some theaters began to sell standing tickets to the audience, and some seats were added in the gaps.

In this way, the box office of the cinema even appeared even more unfortunate than a full house - "full"!

Originally, when the theater only had 500 regular seats, the theater manager would find a way to cram dozens of additional seats into the theater.

Of course, such a crowd is too crowded and can lead to tragedy if something unexpected happens.

Therefore, Golden Harvest Cinema Line has stopped its cinemas from selling standing tickets, or adding new seats in the gaps in the cinemas.

Despite this, the cumulative box office of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has also reached a high of 2.04 million Hong Kong dollars in three days! The average attendance rate is a staggering 107%!

107% attendance? Anyone who witnesses this statistic will feel that their brains are laughing.

However, this data is not falsified in the slightest.

Think about it, if a 500-seat theater turns out to be full of 535 people – 7% more than a full house – isn't that exactly the 107% attendance rate written in the report?

"Hey, "Datang" is so strong! If it weren't for the small number of theaters screened, it might have achieved the same sky-defying results as "Modern Bodyguard"! Zou Wenhuai looked at the 107% attendance rate in his hand, and since it was funny, he felt shocked.

"It's time to increase the number of theaters!" He Guanchang smiled, "23 theaters are not enough!" The 107% attendance rate shows that the box office of this movie is still higher, and more screenings and theater resources can be arranged to meet the market demand! ”

"Yes, of course!" Zou Wenhuai agreed.

Soon after the release of —————————— Baolong Film Company's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", it won more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office within three days, and filmmakers from other companies in the industry showed envy and amazement when they saw the employees of Baolong Film Company.

This makes all the people in Baolong Film Company appear to have a lot of face!

Everyone is high at the box office because of "Datang", full of pride and fighting spirit.

To make employees proud of the company's career, this is exactly what Zhang Shaojie hopes.

"Lao Liu, have you been in such good spirits lately? Not as sick as it used to be? Zhang Shaojie came to the company and saw an employee who had just joined the company for more than two months, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, isn't it "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!" Lao Liu is an editor in his 40s. As we all know, editing is an important part of the post-production of film and television works.

In the early days of modern cinema, directors were both directors, cinematographers, and editors.

However, as the film grew longer and longer, the film editing became more and more technical and complex. The job of a director and part-time editor can no longer be very competent. So, gradually, specialized editors appeared to help directors better handle post-production.

The quality of a movie, in addition to factors such as the script, director, actors, crew members, etc., is also crucial. No matter how well a movie is made, if something goes wrong in the editing process, a classic will be cut into a bad movie.

The longer a professional editor has been in the industry and the more experienced he is, the more he is able to edit high-quality films.

However, Hong Kong films often produce very little film material. A 90-minute film is often only about 10 hours of film, and there are no higher technical requirements for editors.

This also makes it impossible for good editors to get paid more than mediocre editors.

Lao Liu used to work as an editor at Shaw Brothers Film Company, and sometimes had to write one or two scripts part-time to support his family. I have a sick wife at home, and a son who is in college.

Every month, Lao Liu has to spend 3,000 yuan to support his family's expenses. But at Shaw Brothers, you can only earn 10,000 yuan a year.

Listening to a friend's introduction, the salary of Baolong Film Company is very high, and there is also a higher preferential treatment for teachers with higher technical level. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, Lao Liu applied for Baolong.

Just got hired because he has good editing skills. So the monthly salary reached 4,500 Hong Kong dollars.

The only problem is that Lao Liu heard that the money on the company's books is only enough to pay two months' salary. I began to sigh every day, feeling that it was a big mistake to give up Shaw Brothers' iron job and come to this unstable company.

It is precisely because of regret that Lao Liu's face always looks a little unpleasant before the release of "Datang", because he has insomnia every day and is worried that the company will not be able to pay his salary next month

Until three days after the release of "Datang", it frantically collected more than 2 million box office and became a cutting-edge box office champion in Hong Kong. The haze in Lao Liu's heart began to disappear, and the whole person seemed much more cheerful and healthy

"Oh?" Zhang Shaojie said with a smile, "Unexpectedly, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" still has a medical effect and can cure diseases and save people?" ”

"Of course, since the box office hit of "Datang Double Dragon Earns", my waist is no longer sore, my back is no longer painful, my legs are no longer cramping, and wherever I go, I have more face!" Lao Liu said like a spring breeze.

Zhang Shaojie smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Do a good job, Lao Liu." Strive to study editing techniques and exchange technical ideas with Hollywood counterparts. Strive to break through again in editing skills and become a generation of editing masters! ”

"Hey!" Lao Liu nodded and said, "Those young men of industrial light and magic are really powerful!" Not only are you good at playing with computers, but you are also great at editing people! Although I can't understand English, the effect of their editing is indeed more technical than that of Hong Kong editing! Seeing their level, I knew that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world! ”

Zhang Shaojie nodded.

The level of editors is related to the quality requirements of a region. Hong Kong films have very low costs and very few films, so the requirements for editing technology are lower than those of Hollywood.

Therefore, Hong Kong's excellent editors, in the face of Hollywood's first-class editors, naturally feel that their technical level is far inferior to that of their opponents.

Baolong Film Company, the business philosophy is "high investment, high box office" excellent production.

Every detail must be carefully studied repeatedly, and the technical level of editors will become more and more demanding and strict in the future. In the future, the skills of the editors of Baolong Film Company will reach the level of Hollywood!

Zhang Shaojie knows that this will bring a lot of pressure to the company's employees.

However, under the premise of a high salary, it is inevitable to maintain more pressure. Otherwise, the meaning of a high-paying position cannot be reflected.
