824 [Lonely Seeking Defeat]

As an assistant director, Cameron did not come to the Hong Kong premiere of "Jurassic Park". After the post-production was completed, Cameron was busy with the information of the Titanic, and organized people to dive to the bottom of the sea to explore the remains of the shipwreck, and make preliminary preparations for the filming of "Titanic".

Cameron didn't come, but several of the leading actors were all present. Liang Jiahui is naturally very familiar to everyone, but Japanese actress Keiko Matsusaka is rarely known, and several American actors have never heard of it.

Although the leading actors participated in the filming, they only looked at various model props when shooting, and they also did not know what the movie would look like.

After the interaction, the lights in the theater dimmed and the official screening of the film began.

The screen is dimly lit, a truck stops in the night, and heavily armed guards begin to unload the cargo box.

Suddenly, a guard is bitten by a location creature in the crate, and then screams and is pulled in, blood splattering out.

Just when the audience was guessing what the monster was, suddenly there was a picture on the screen, and a cartoon image of a velociraptor jumped out, bringing out two lines of Chinese and English subtitles of "Jurassic Park", and then five big words appeared: Kang Jianfei's works.

The feature film appears again, it is the hero and heroine at an archaeological site in the United States, through the dialogue of the characters of guò, to popularize the basic knowledge of dinosaurs to the audience, and then go to Mirror Island in Brunei together.

Yes, in order to advertise Mirror Island, which he participated in, Kang Jianfei directly pointed out the specific country and location where Mirror Island is located in the film.

At this time, the story was still being told unhurriedly, and it was not until the dinosaur breeding base appeared that the audience began to be shocked.

Especially adult dinosaurs, exclamations rang out in the theater from time to time. Although Kang Jianfei's "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has realistic special effects, it is still a little worse than "Jurassic Park", and the shock of the prehistoric giant beast appearing alive in front of you is not something that the audience in the era of special effects in later generations can experience.

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

"The crew won't be shooting real dinosaurs, right?"

"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."

“……”

The premiere also had a lot of ordinary viewers, and these people reacted the most, and the film exploded while it was still being screened, and they began to argue in private.

Not only them, but Leung Ka-fai and Keiko Matsusaka, as the heroes and heroines, were also frightened by the realistic special effects on the screen.

"This ...... It's incredible. Keiko Matsuzaka covered her mouth and whispered in English.

Leung Ka-fai is the same: "Yes, you see that big tree just now, when it was filmed, it was made of plastic, and it was very fake at first glance, and the computer made it so realistic." ”

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. Shao Yifu has seen the "Terminator" series, 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 films in film history, which is enough to cause a change in film technology!

Shao Yifu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Kang Jianfei who was not far away, in the dim light, Kang Jianfei stared at the big screen with Erlang's legs crossed, with a slight smile on his face.

That is the victor's confident smile, once upon a time, Shao Yifu also had it, when he killed the Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian, Dianmao and other companies along the way, laughing proudly in Hong Kong and dominating the Hong Kong film industry.

Suddenly, Shao Yifu felt that he was right to leave the film industry, this era of big movies no longer belonged to him, and the record-breaking box office of nearly 50 million in "The Judge of the Dead" was enough as a perfect ending to his film career.

Unlike Shao Yifu's thoughts, Shu Qi and other film critics were pleasantly surprised, and the wonderful Cheng dù of "Jurassic Park" was completely beyond their expectations.

"Jurassic Park Successfully Premiered, Prehistoric Beasts Ravaged Xiangjiang"

"400 million blockbuster special effects are amazing, cannibal dinosaurs reappear in the world"

"A great movie comparable to Star Wars"

《……》

In addition to the low-level black scolding of the pale plot of "Jurassic Park", many film critics in Hong Kong did not hesitate to praise Kang Jianfei's new film to the sky. Even the shocking news that Shao Yifu attended the premiere of DreamWorks films was diluted by "Jurassic Park".

A film review in Cinema Fortnight wrote: "In terms of plot, Jurassic Park is not much different from traditional science fiction films: bizarre scientific reality and human greed for profit are consumed by self-inflicted disasters, 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 dinosaurs, and it turns out that Kang Jianfei's 400 million Hong Kong dollars were not spent in vain. 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 Hong Kong film practitioner, the author has to proudly say: Although "Jurassic Park" has American directors and special effects companies involved in the production, the director, funds, actor and behind-the-scenes production team are completely from Hong Kong, this is an indisputable Hong Kong film! ”

Even without the media's hard praise, the names of Kang Jianfei and Leung Ka-fai in Hong Kong, coupled with the publicity gimmick of the 400 million blockbuster, are enough to attract countless Hong Kong 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 cinema 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 was full; The next day, it was full; Full; Full; Full again......

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 at the box office, which directly shocked peers speechlessly. It's only been a week, and the box office has broken the 20 million mark, so don't you let others live?

Cheng Long secretly rejoiced after learning the box office figures of "Jurassic Park" in the first week, and his "Police Story 3" was released at the same time as "The Judge of the Dead". Although "Police Story 3" was crushed by "The Death Judge", it was better than grabbing the box office with "Jurassic Park", which was no different from looking for death.

From mid-August to September, the summer 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. As a result, 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 "The Inquisitor" 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 66.43 million box office.

When this box office number appeared in the newspaper, Zou Wenhuai, Huang Baiming, Chen Rongmei and other film and theater company bosses were directly stupid.

A few years ago, the local box office of Hong Kong films broke 40 million, and everyone thought that one day they could break the 50 million box office mark. This Nima, "Jurassic Park" wrote a record of 50 million as soon as it came up, not to mention, and by the way, it broke the 60 million mark without much effort, and it exceeded millions of cents.

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

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

Many studio bosses think so, but they can't make up their minds when they come.

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

Yes, even with Kang Jianfei, the first person to eat crabs, no company dares to follow suit.

In the first two years, Zou Wenhuai had a hot brain for a while, and made two movies for Cheng Longtou that cost tens of millions of dollars 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 Cheng Long's ordinary cost films, but it has made Golden Harvest's capital chain embarrassed for a while.

Cheng Long's "Police Story 3", which he just painted, is a work in which Golden Harvest reduces investment and consumes the "Police Story" series of movies to make money.

Compared with a medium investment, high returns, and low risk, a smart businessman will choose the strong one compared to a huge investment, high return, and high risk. R1152
