Chapter 880: No Way Back

Jurassic Park was 25 weeks in pre-production, and the film began filming on Huwa, Hawaii, in August '92, and took about three weeks to shoot a lot of daytime locations, during which the crew also encountered a passing hurricane, and some of the storm scenes in the film were taken from real hurricane scenes.

After completing the chicken-like chase scene on Huwa Island, the crew returned to the United States to continue filming, with the scene of the Tyrannosaurus rex attacking the tour bus from Studio 16 of Warner Bros. Studios, and the scene of the Raptor flying into the kitchen from Studio 24 of Universal Studios.

"There was a shot of a child riding a triceratops, and the stuntmen spent a year working on it, but in the end the shot was cut because Stephen felt it would affect the rhythm of the whole film." Lucas picked up the conversation and revealed more behind-the-scenes footage about the film.

"Isn't that a pity?" Zhou Comin couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't matter, you won't see this shot in the official film, but in the extended version of the DVD, this shot will be put back in." Lucas shrugged and explained the book.

The talk show continued, but Lin Jianyue couldn't watch it anymore, so he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

"You two went to see this movie, tell us how you really feel!" Lin Jianyue turned his body around and glanced at Huang Baiming and Huang Yuxun, who were sitting opposite the desk.

"Manager Huang is a professional in this area, or you should say it." Huang Yuxuan smiled at Huang Baiming very politely, and on the surface it seemed to respect Huang Baiming's opinion. In fact, it is the drudgery that is pushed on the other party.

Huang Baiming scolded Huang Yuxuan in his heart for being cunning. But in front of Lin Jianyue. He couldn't say no, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I don't think the media is hyping this movie too much this time......"

Lin Jianyue raised his hand and interrupted Huang Baiming impatiently.

"Manager Huang, almost all the newspapers in Hong Kong are talking about how good this movie is, if no one is manipulating it behind the scenes, how can there not even be a little contradictory voice?"

"The overall look and feel of this film is really shocking, but to say that the media is unanimously optimistic. I don't believe that. Huang Yuyun opened his mouth at this time and agreed.

Huang Baiming was worried about how to explain to Lin Jianyue, and Huang Yuyun joined the discussion, which just gave him the opportunity to refute.

"Does Mr. Wong think that Lin Youlun has taken complete control of the Hong Kong media scene? I admit that the Ming Pao Group does have a great influence in Hong Kong, but at the same time, it is also facing competition from Sing Tao Newspaper and Oriental Daily. ”

Huang Baiming's words were ostensibly aimed at Huang Yuxuan, but in fact, they were meant for Lin Jianyue.

Lin Jianyue didn't say anything, and after he calmed down, he also found that what he said just now was too impulsive, but if Lin Youlun didn't manipulate "Jurassic Park" behind his back to get such a good reputation, it can only show that the quality of this movie is really good to a certain extent, so that many media that don't deal with Lin Youlun can't say bad things about this movie.

What can be seen is. After the release of "Jurassic Park" in Hong Kong, Lin Youlun's reputation and influence in Hong Kong will reach a higher level. This is not what Lin Jianyue wants to see.

"In other words, no matter how much the media praises the movie "Jurassic Park", I don't think it's too much, because this movie can indeed represent the most advanced film special effects technology in the current world, and director Spielberg and producer George Lucas are both famous directors in the United States for a long time, and this movie can receive so many praises, which has a lot to do with these two."

Huang Baiming analyzed this, and Lin Jianyue's frowning brows relaxed slightly.

"And how did the other studios react to this?"

"Several movies that coincide with the release schedule of "Jurassic Park" have asked to change their release times, and basically only some literary films and small-budget tertiary films are still hanging on the schedule of theaters during the same period."

"Jurassic Park" has caused such a big response only at the Hong Kong International Film Festival on a small scale, and the official release must be menacing, and all filmmakers have chosen to protect themselves and try their best to avoid this "box office monster".

Just when Lin Jianyue was hesitating, the secretary pushed the door and walked in.

"Manager Huang, there's a call for you outside!"

Huang Baiming got up and walked out, and Huang Yuxuan, who had just been asked dumbly, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Lin, the general trend is unstoppable, and the schedule of "Dragon Tiger Gate" should also be adjusted!"

Lin Jianyue was very dissatisfied with Huang Yuyun's words: ""Dragon Tiger Gate" is Mr. Huang's proud work, and the movie is supervised by Mr. Huang, even you don't have confidence, how can the audience have confidence in this movie?" ”

"It's not that I don't have confidence in this movie, but the general trend is irreversible, "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Jurassic Park" are not movies of the same level at all, which Mr. Lin should know very well in his heart."

Huang Yuyun didn't make the words clear, but the meaning was unmistakable.

"Dragon Tiger Gate" is already a big investment in Hong Kong, but compared with "Jurassic Park", it is not enough to watch at all, and the production cost is more than ten times worse.

Huang Baiming came back after answering the phone, and saw Lin Jianyue's gloomy face, and Huang Yuyue's expression on the other side was not very good-looking, thinking that the two should have had some quarrels just now, and the result must have been that they didn't talk about it.

"Manager Huang, you came back just in time, you should persuade Mr. Lin, if the schedule of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" is not changed, I dare not make any guarantees at the box office after the release of this movie!"

Huang Yuxuan was still going toe-to-toe with Huang Baiming just now, but at this moment he regarded him as a rescuer.

Huang Baiming was very upset with Huang Yuxuan's "scoundrel" behavior, and replied expressionlessly: "If it had been before, I would definitely support Mr. Huang, but now I can only say sorry...... Because we've got no way back! ”

Huang Yuxuan raised his head in surprise and looked at Huang Baiming.

"Manager Huang, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Jianyue's gaze also followed, which was full of inquiry.

"I just received news that the release schedule of "Chinese Heroes" has been confirmed, just half a month after the release of "Jurassic Park"!"

Hearing the news from Huang Baiming's mouth, Lin Jianyue and Huang Yuyun were both stunned.

"Lin Youlun, is this going to rather abolish "Chinese Heroes" than force us to a dead end?" Huang Yuyun couldn't help but shout, and there was a big mess for a while.

Now the whole of Hong Kong knows that "Chinese Heroes" is going to fight with "Dragon and Tiger Gate", on the surface, this is a duel between Huang Yuyun and Ma Rongcheng, which is also mixed with Huang Yuyun and Ma Yanqiang's jealousy game on Quinoa, and behind it is another confrontation between Lin Youlun and Lin Jianyue.

The twists and turns in this have been hyped by the Hong Kong media as early as the beginning of the filming of the two films, and now "Chinese Heroes" has set the schedule first, which is equivalent to drawing the road, if "Dragon Tiger Gate" does not accept it, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to admit defeat, even if the box office performance is better than "Chinese Heroes", it will not be a winner.

Neither Huang Yulun nor Lin Jianyue could accept this result, so Huang Yuyun said that Lin Youlun was trying to force them to a dead end.

The strength of "Jurassic Park" has been fully revealed, and the release of such a blockbuster will have a great crowding out effect on movies released in the same schedule, but anyone who has seen this movie should not be more interested in other movies in the short term.

Although the release schedule of "Chinese Heroes" is half a month later than "Jurassic Park", there is no direct confrontation, but movies like "Jurassic Park" may continue to maintain a very strong growth at the box office two weeks after its release.

Lin Jianyue was also hesitant at this time, and scolded Lin Youlun countless times in his heart.

Even if "Chinese Heroes" does not perform well at the box office in Hong Kong, it can also recover its cost with the income from overseas sales ports, although "Dragon Tiger Gate" can also do this, but Lin Jianyue's goal is not just to return to the cost, but to sell well.

Only when the film is a big hit, Lin Jianyue can win more points in the battle for the inheritance of the family industry, but Lin Youlun obviously will not let him get his wish easily.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianyue suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in his heart, with a blockbuster like "Jurassic Park" as the foundation, "Chinese Heroes" is a mess, and it will not have much impact on Lin Youlun, but if "Dragon Tiger Gate" fails, it will be a major setback for Lin Jianyue.

has not been able to please Lin Youlun for so many years, which not only made Lin Jianyue shake his determination to enter the film and television industry for the first time.

Of course, he would not let Huang Baiming and Huang Yuyun notice this emotion, and now these two were still looking at him, waiting for him to make the final decision.

"In my opinion, this is not a good thing."

After saying this, Lin Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief, but the expressions on Huang Yuyun and Huang Baiming's faces became very exciting, or very surprised.

"Anyway, we were also struggling with whether to avoid the schedule of "Jurassic Park" before, and now that Lin Youlun has made such a move, it means that he has already made a choice for us, since he has made a move, then we will take it!"

Huang Yuyun's mouth moved, but in the end, he couldn't help but say nothing, after Lin Youlun confirmed the schedule of "Chinese Heroes", in fact, they had no choice on their side. (To be continued......)
