Chapter 537 Technology Monopoly

"Director Cheng's temper ......," Li Xiuxian shook his head and sighed.

Liu Dehua and Liu Jialing both entered the showbiz after the 80s, and they don't know much about Cheng Gang's deeds back then, but Li Xiuxian is different, when he was led into the entertainment industry by Zhang Che, Cheng Gang's fame in the Hong Kong film industry is not small.

One of the things that impressed Li Xiuxian the most was that in the most beautiful years of Zhang Che, it was very difficult for others to borrow someone from Zhang Che's men to film, but Cheng Gang did it, and he kicked open the door of Zhang Che's house in the middle of the night to borrow people, and Cheng Gang was the only one who dared to do this in the entire Shaw Brothers.

"Although Director Cheng's temper is not very good, and he has high requirements for actors when filming, most of the actors who have been trained by him can be reborn...... Huang Qiusen is a good example. Lin Youlun's words were ostensibly for everyone, but in fact they were aimed at Liu Dehua.

Li Xiuxian is nearly middle-aged, and he has been beautiful, and he has already won all the honors he can get, so he no longer has to fight like a young man; Liu Jialing does not have many roles, and her comeback by starring in this movie is her main purpose; Only Liu Dehua is very concerned about what Lin Youlun said.

Assistant Ajie suddenly walked over at this time, leaned over and whispered a few words in Lin Youlun's ear.

Lin Youlun took the big brother from Ajie's hand, got up to the side to answer the phone, Li Xiuxian took the opportunity to pat Liu Dehua on the shoulder and said, "Andy, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you in this drama." ”

Lin Youlun's intention of praising Liu Dehua is obvious, and Li Xiuxian is also happy to do this favor.

Liu Dehua accepted Li Xiuxian's favor, and said with a smile: "Then please take care of Brother Xiu when the time comes!" ”

The two of them just finished speaking. Lin Youlun walked over.

He had something to go first. I came to say hello to Li Xiuxian, Liu Dehua, and Liu Jialing.

——

He Guanchang put down the phone. nodded to Zou Wenhuai.

"This movie didn't ask Lin Sheng for investment, he won't have an opinion on us, right?" The deep wrinkles on both sides of Zou Wenhuai's mouth became more obvious, as if he was smiling bitterly.

To make an ordinary movie, Golden Harvest doesn't need to see Lin Youlun's face, but now this movie is different, if you don't find a special effects company in Hollywood, Lin Youlun's Aurora Company will become Golden Harvest's only choice.

Zou Wenhuai never thought that the Aurora special effects company, which has always been low-key. It will become a powerful bargaining chip for Lin Youlun to control the Hong Kong film industry.

For the same movie special effects, the price of the special effects company in the United States is nearly 10% higher than that of Aurora, but don't underestimate such a little difference, for a special effects blockbuster with hundreds of millions of special effects production costs, you can save 10 million by cooperating with Aurora.

A "Godzilla" made Aurora Special Effects Company famous all over the world overnight, and now not only film companies from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries have come to Aurora to cooperate, but also many large Hollywood companies have also become Aurora customers.

In addition to the price advantage, Aurora's leading technology is also a very important reason.

Golden Harvest recently bought the rights to an American cartoon and is preparing to start filming a live-action version. In terms of special effects production, I originally wanted to cooperate with Aurora, but I didn't expect to be rejected by that side.

Aurora explained to Golden Harvest very seriously. Recently, the company has undertaken the special effects production of many films, and there is no way to take on new movies in the short term.

During this time, many film companies have cooperated with Aurora, and Zou Wenhuai knows this situation, but to say that Aurora Company can't spare extra manpower to help Golden Harvest complete the special effects production of this movie, Zou Wenhuai doesn't believe it.

Of course, Aurora Company is Lin Youlun's private property, except for Lin Youlun's own investment in films that can enjoy special treatment, the films of other companies are naturally treated equally.

Golden Harvest used to make special effects movies with Lin Youlun, and he has never encountered such trouble, but now that he has invested in this movie independently, he feels that there are such benefits in cooperating with Lin Youlun.

No, Zou Wenhuai asked He Guanchang to make such a call to Lin Youlun.

He Guanchang shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it doesn't work, we will only have to pay some more." ”

Zou Wenhuai raised his eyebrows, "Do you think Lin Youlun will lack this money in his hands?" ”

"In the first two years of the establishment of Aurora, Lin Youlun invested at least 3-500 million Hong Kong dollars in it, he will not invest this money in vain, we are willing to give a high price, he will definitely not mind making more money."

He Guanchang's words made Zou Wenhuai silent for a long time.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you have more money, I just think that Golden Harvest always asks for him like this, and if he turns his face in the future, he will be restricted everywhere."

He Guanchang smiled bitterly, "This is also a matter of no way, the Aurora Company is a move he laid out more than 4 years ago, who would have thought that now it would become a means for him to counter us." ”

Zou Wenhuai looked at the time, and then sighed.

"Let's go, let's meet him together."

——

"Golden Harvest wants to shoot a live-action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"?" Hearing the news from Zou Wenhuai's mouth, Lin Youlun couldn't help but be stunned.

"We actually got inspiration from you, Mr. Lin, in doing this." He Guanchang interjected on the side.

"Me?" Lin Youlun was a little crying and laughing, in his memory, Jiahe did make such a movie, Yuan Kui was the director, and the four martial artists dressed as turtles were made into a funny action movie, and then it became the most popular movie in the United States that year...... How did this become an inspiration to them?

"Mr. Lin didn't buy a popular TV series in the United States in the 70s not long ago and remake it into a movie, and then it happened that the copyright owner of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was interested in selling the film rights during that time, and we heard about it, and then we bought it." He Guanchang explained the reason, and Lin Youlun suddenly realized.

"Golden Harvest is going to use special effects techniques to complete this movie?"

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at each other, Lin Youlun What is the problem, if they don't use special effects to make this movie, why did they come to him in person?

"Mr. Zou and Mr. He, don't get me wrong, I mean, this movie can be made without special effects, of course, the effect will definitely be worse."

Lin Youlun still hasn't said the second half of the sentence, and if you don't use special effects, you can save a lot of money.

"At the beginning, we also considered using the method of 'real person + model + makeup', but considering that the shooting effect was not so ideal, we still wanted to use stunts." He Guanchang only said half of this, Golden Harvest spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" this time, and it is better to make it bigger than to make a small fuss.

Of course, Golden Harvest also has a helpless element in doing this, Lin Youlun has made so many special effects films in Hong Kong and released them in the United States, after the American audience has watched too many such movies, Golden Harvest wants to use a money-saving way to shoot it, and the audience will definitely not buy it.
