Yu Zheng was a little surprised.

"Hong Kong films won't even be able to hold the local market in the future?"

Lin Youlun knew what Yu Zheng wanted to say next, so he opened his mouth before her.

"I guess you must be tempted to say, isn't that a bit alarmist?"

Yu Zheng did not say anything, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Lin Youlun's statement.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about, don't look at the media now so concerned about the future of Hong Kong films, but how many of the people who make these voices are sincere, I really doubt this! Many people shouted that the wolf was coming, but these people probably didn't even know where the real wolf was. ”

"Hollywood movies can only be regarded as an external threat to Hong Kong films, and many people have not seen the real internal crisis, or there is no way to change it, such as piracy. In Southeast Asia and the mainland, the circulation of pirated copies can even be dozens of times that of genuine copies, and the market is already narrow, and then the impact of piracy will continue to be a vicious circle, and the living environment of the entire film industry will only become worse and worse. Without market support, you can't make big-budget movies, and you will become less and less competitive in front of Hollywood movies! ”

"What's even more worrying is that the local market in Hong Kong is also slowly degrading, don't look at the box office of Hong Kong movies in recent years, it has maintained a growth momentum, this is mainly because of the rise in ticket prices, the real number of moviegoers has not increased much compared with ten years ago, and there has even been negative growth in the past one or two years."

"Now many people have not come out of the glorious past of Hong Kong films, and feel that Hong Kong films will not get better. At least it won't get any worse. So a lot of people are content with just a little fight. Collect tens of millions of box office in the Hong Kong market, and then add the income from overseas sales ports, you can easily make money, so if one day, the local market is sluggish, and some changes occur in the Southeast Asian market, how can Hong Kong movies continue at that time? Taking a step back, there is no big change in the Southeast Asian market. But can Hong Kong films remain as popular as they are? The answer is absolutely no, since Hollywood movies can encroach on the local market, of course, they can also encroach on overseas markets, and when the Southeast Asian market is squeezed out, will Hong Kong films have a better time like now? ”

"So you invested in the filming of "Jurassic Park" to give Hong Kong filmmakers a sense of urgency?" Yu Zheng interjected at this time.

"To be honest, my main purpose in investing in "Jurassic Park" is to make money, but there is a saying in economics called the 'catfish effect', and "Jurassic Park" is now this catfish, invested in the Hong Kong film market, making everyone feel threatened. Then everyone thought about trying to protect themselves, instead of continuing to be like a frog in warm water like they are now. When he found that danger was coming, he didn't even have the strength to resist. ”

"But is the performance of "Jurassic Park" at the box office too strong, as far as my personal feeling is concerned, no matter which movie is head-to-head with "Jurassic Park", I'm afraid it will lose more and win less, right?" Yu Zheng put forward a different view.

"Jurassic Park" is indeed very powerful, but it does not mean that Hong Kong movies do not even have the ability to resist at all, the two movies "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" that will be released soon, although the investment cannot be compared with "Jurassic Park", but many advantages can still be taken out and spelled out, for example, these two movies are adapted from comics that everyone is very familiar with, and in the same type of film, the special effects of these two movies are good."

"Mr. Lin, advertising can't be so obvious, right?" Yu Zheng reminded with a smile.

"Only mentioning "Chinese Heroes" is an advertisement, and I also mentioned "Dragon Tiger Gate" just now, which shouldn't be considered an advertisement, right? Otherwise, the media is talking about "Jurassic Park" all these days, and no amount of money I make from this movie will not be enough to pay for their advertising! ”

When he heard this, Huang Yuyun couldn't help but lean his head against Huang Baiming.

"Manager Huang, what do you mean by Lin Youlun?"

"Mr. Huang must have heard of the word 'killing', right?" Huang Baiming sighed softly in his heart, it seemed that Lin Youlun had already noticed the movement here, so he would react like this.

Lin Youlun made such a gesture and made it clear that he was determined to eat "Dragon Tiger Gate", but what Huang Baiming couldn't figure out was why Lin Youlun was so sure that the box office of "Chinese Heroes" would definitely surpass "Dragon Tiger Gate"?

In every aspect, the two films are evenly matched.

Judging from the release schedule, "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" will both face the impact of "Jurassic Park" - although "Jurassic Park" has been released for two weeks, and the box office is about to exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars, judging from the number of moviegoers, the box office growth in the future will not be as unfavorable as before, but the threat is still great.

In terms of the influence of the original work, "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Chinese Heroes" are comparable, and the investment in the two films is also comparable.

The only disadvantage is probably that the special effects production of "Dragon Tiger Gate" is handed over to the Aurora Special Effects Company, what the final effect of this movie will be, Lin Youlun must be clear in his heart, and what "Chinese Heroes" has become, Lin Jianyue's eyes are black, and he doesn't know anything.

When it was decided to hand over the post-production of "Dragon Tiger Gate" to Aurora Company, Lin Jianyue considered this problem, first, if he came to find an overseas special effects company to do it, the cost would be at least 20% higher, and secondly, Lin Jianyue felt that with Lin Youlun's pride, he must disdain to do anything in this regard. "The Hero of the Storm and the World" has to go to a higher level, and in this regard, of course, Aurora will not smash its own brand.

Lin Youlun mentioned these two movies in a high-profile manner on the radio program, and Lin Jianyue was a little unsure, could it be that Lin Youlun really let Aurora do something in the post-production of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" without letting them see it?

However, no matter how you say it, Lin Youlun's purpose of accepting commercial TV this time has been achieved, and after the broadcast of this episode, the attention of the Hong Kong media quickly shifted from "Jurassic Park" to the upcoming two movies "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon Tiger Gate".

Before Lin Jianyue could think of a countermeasure, the crew of "Dragon Tiger Gate" unexpectedly received an invitation from "Entertainment Star Weekly".

With the relationship between Zhou Yimin and Lin Youlun, she would actually invite the crew of "Dragon Tiger Gate" to her own show, this matter is simply incredible to Lin Jianyue, and even he wonders if there is any conspiracy in this?

Originally, Lin Jianyue wanted to refuse, but then he heard that "Chinese Heroes" was also going to record an issue of "Entertainment Star Weekly", and suddenly changed his mind and decided to see what Lin Youlun was going to do!

——

"Everyone should be very familiar with the four guests who came to our show today, welcome Zheng Yijian, Wu Qilong, Quinoa and Wu Zhenyu!"

The camera turned in the direction of Zhou Comin's outstretched hand, giving each of the four guests a close-up of their faces, and the camera returned to Zhou Comin at the very end.

"Wu Qilong should be on my show for the first time, I heard that you are one of the four little kings of Taiwan, it sounds so powerful."

was the first to be asked by Zhou Yimin, Wu Qilong suddenly felt flattered, but he was very modest: "No, that's just a statement from the media in Taiwan, I am still a newcomer when I came to Hong Kong, there are many things to learn, and many places have to start over." ”

"Zheng Yijian, do you have anything you want to say after listening to Wu Qilong's words?"

Zheng Yijian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Yimin to suddenly aim the question at himself, scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "What is it for me?" ”

"Because you weren't as modest as others when you debuted, and you often delayed filming because of playing video games, did I wronged you?"

As soon as Zhou Comin came up, he exposed Zheng Yijian's shortcomings, but Zheng Yijian had no way at all, who made him and Zhou Comin have the same agent and the same record company, although he is one month older than Zhou Comin, but in private, he still has to call Zhou Comin a senior sister, at this time, of course, he can only bear it silently.

"At that time, I was young and ignorant, but now I have changed, no, you can ask a few of them, I was very serious when I was filming "Chinese Heroes", I was never late or left early, let alone delaying the filming time to call."

"I can testify to that!" Quinoa took the initiative to help Zheng Yijian, a move that surprised everyone's expectations.

Zheng Yijian was about to cast a grateful glance at her, but Quinoa changed his words, "He always brought video games to the set, and I saw him holding the game console and playing non-stop during the break!" ”

was exposed to such a fierce news by Quinoa, Zheng Yijian couldn't sit still immediately, and was about to argue, but Zhou Comemin raised his hand to stop him, "Okay, you don't need to explain, everyone knows that you like to play electric, and it's okay to play occasionally, but I have a suggestion, if you have the opportunity, you'd better hone your acting skills more, so that you can go further on the road of being an actor in the future...... In this regard, you should learn more from Wu Zhenyu. ”

"Don't!" Wu Zhenyu waved his hand, "If you look like me, no matter how good your acting skills are, it's useless, and you will be a supporting role for the rest of your life!" (To be continued......)
