Baolong Film Company is registered in Taipei, but after Gu Long decided to come to Hong Kong to shoot "Datang", Baolong Film Company's business focus in the next few months will undoubtedly be in Hong Kong.

Baolong Films, which was just established in early 1980, is a new company, and the owner of the company is Gu Long.

This kind of novelist setting up his own film company to adapt his own novel is undoubtedly a relatively advanced model. It is also equivalent to opening up a new development route for the martial arts novel industry.

Historically, the Taiwanese version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is the entrepreneurial work of Baolong Film Company, because the quality is far less classic than that co-produced by Hong Kong filmmakers, after millions of NT$ investment, it can only be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of NT$ at the box office.

Because of the failure of film investment and the distress of marital problems, Gu Long continued to drink heavily despite his illness. Eventually, his condition deteriorated and he died.

Now that the Baolong version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" has not yet been completed, Gu Long did not taste failure, but Xiong ambitiously cooperated with Zhang Shaojie to shoot "Datang"!

Zhang Shaojie looked at some of the rough films of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", shook his head and said: "Dillon's version of Chu Liuxiang, Zheng Shaoqiu's version of Chu Liuxiang, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if there is no previous classic, this Baolong version of "Chu Liuxiang" may be able to have a market" The implication is that he is naturally not optimistic about the market prospects of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" filmed by Gu Long.

Gu Long smiled bitterly: "How can I not know the gap between Baolong and large companies such as Shaw Brothers and Jiahe?" However, now that Taiwan's film policy has just been thawed, directors from all walks of life have begun to raise the banner and create a career. Although I don't know what the future of Taiwan's film industry will be, I am unwilling to miss this opportunity! ”

Zhang Shaojie sincerely advised: "The film industry, that is, the stronger the stronger!" The whole of European cinema is fighting on its own, and the result is a rabble, which is difficult to resist the iron hooves of Hollywood. The economy of Yuben is quite developed, but the film industry of Yuben is still at the second-rate level. In the world, there are only a few film producing areas with global influence, such as the United States and Hong Kong! Taiwan's film industry missed the great development opportunity of the film industry in the post-war 60s, and there is no huge local market to feed it. No matter how loose the policy is, it may not be able to boost Taiwan's film industry! ”

Gu Long nodded and said, "Hehe, it depends on the situation!" Before I met you, I was ready to start a business in Taipei! Now, though, my mind has cooled down. Going to put the eggs in one basket, Baolong Company is divided into two major companies: Hong Kong Baolong and Taiwan Baolong. Hong Kong companies, with the help of Hong Kong film production strength, pursue quality and make steady progress. Taiwan Baolong is a bet on the future of Taiwan's film industry! ”

The future of Taiwan's film industry? Zhang Shaojie was a little funny in his heart.

Perhaps, Taiwan's TV dramas and variety shows will have good development prospects. However, Taiwan's film industry cannot see the future at all.

Zhang Shaojie knows that the commercialization of Taiwanese films sprouted in the 60s, when Hong Kong directors Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinzhuan successively went to Taiwan to start a business, bringing Hong Kong's more advanced film shooting concepts.

However, Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinxuan came to Taiwan to start a business, but they also failed successively. Of course, although the two failed to start a business in Taiwan, they have cultivated a large number of directors, actors, and commercial film shooting experience for Taiwan.

Li Hanxiang is considered to be Taiwan's commercial film enlightenment teacher. Throughout the 70s, Hu Jinshuan's martial arts movies, such as classic martial arts such as "Dragon Gate Inn", were still relatively popular.

It wasn't until the impact of Bruce Lee's kung fu films and later the new *wave* tide martial arts films that Hu Jinshuan's martial arts were outdated.

Taiwanese films are a swarm of excitement, because Taiwan's films developed relatively late, and there is no industrial film production system like Hong Kong.

Filmmakers from all walks of life in Taiwan's film industry are fighting their own battles and not forming a climate, and the strength of the crew is uneven, and their grasp of the market is very inaccurate.

To put it simply, Hong Kong films have been innovating and developing since Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinzhuan went to Taiwan.

Taiwan's film industry, because of its weak foundation, was still limited to the Hong Kong film shooting concept of the 60s until the 80s.

plus Taiwanese filmmakers, who are even more slashing than Hong Kong filmmakers.

A Hong Kong filmmaker's HK$500,000 film is considered a small production that is not in the stream, but the cost of HK$500,000 is already a big production in Taiwan.

Not to mention the concept of the film and the ability of the filmmakers, Taiwan's shooting equipment alone is more than 10 years behind the equipment used by Hong Kong filmmakers.

Because of the sluggish development of Taiwan's film industry, in 85 years, Taiwanese film companies such as Xuefu, Longzu, Belvede, China Film, Shangshang, Beilun, Xinchuan, Jinli, Scholar, Longxiang and so on have reduced production or gone bankrupt because of investment failures. Taiwan's filmmakers have also been co-opted by major television organizations and shifted their career focus to TV program production.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the younger generation of Taiwanese have said that they have not watched Taiwanese movies. In the bleakest period, Taiwan's local movies accounted for 1% of Taiwan's total local box office

In fact, even if Zhang Shaojie told Gu Long this truth, it would be useless!

This is powerless!

Even if the Taiwan authorities use all means to promote the recovery of Taiwan's film industry, the gap in strength also makes Taiwanese filmmakers helpless!

The foundation of Taiwan's film industry is there!

At this time, Taiwan's film industry was one era behind Hong Kong's film industry.

Hong Kong's martial arts films are screened at the same time as Taiwan's martial arts films, and the audience will undoubtedly choose to watch Hong Kong's martial arts! Compared with Hong Kong's martial arts, Taiwan's martial arts films will look dirty.

The film industry is like that, the winner is king - whoever is fashionable gets the audience!

Movies with backward technology and backward shooting concepts, unless they are classic old films, nostalgic audiences will also disdain them!

Zhang Shaojie decided to invest in the movie version of "Datang", and naturally he would not completely defend and hand it over to Baolong Film Company. It's not that Zhang Shaojie doesn't believe in Gu Long's ability, but because Zhang Shaojie has more ideas. Moreover, Zhang Shaojie did not write the script of "The Tang Dynasty" like a fake hand.

The title of the first film of the film version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was finalized as "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: The Origin".

The film mainly starts with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who are constantly bullied by Yangzhou gangsters. It is constantly necessary to render the beginning of the suppression, which is used to set off the yang in the back.

Ssangyong was determined to escape from Yangzhou, defect to the rebels, and stole the "Recipe for Longevity", which could make a small **.

met Fu Junzhuo, encountered Yu Wenhua and, until after Fu Junzhuo's death, Shuanglong learned martial arts in the valley. This plot is also worth focusing on.

Through the Nine Xuan** Mental Method and the "Recipe for Longevity". After possessing a certain amount of force, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling embarked on the journey again, met Li Jing, rescued Su Su, and fled again

In fact, from a movie point of view, this paragraph can be regarded as a complete movie story. If the box office response is good, you can continue to make a sequel later. If the box office is average, the first part will end, and it is okay.

The reason why it is called "Origin" is because Zhang Shaojie was influenced by American comics and many later Hollywood blockbusters.

The first part of many American comics, in order to introduce the appearance of the protagonist, and the process of gaining power because of the adventure, is called - origin!
