"Zombie films, Zou Wenhuai doesn't seem to be giving up." Shao Yifu put down the tea bowl in his hand, but his expression was a little dignified. Although Lin Youlun did not completely fall to Golden Harvest, he agreed to be the producer of the film, which is not good news for Shaw Brothers.

Back then, Shaw Brothers failed in "Seven Golden Corpses", Shao Yifu has always felt that the potential of this theme has not been tapped, and unlike other people who watch the excitement with cold eyes, Shao Yifu attaches great importance to this action of Golden Harvest. He always felt that as long as things were related to Lin Youlun, it would not be so simple.

Fang Yihua took the blanket from the servant's hand, helped Shao Yifu cover his lap, and whispered: "If you really care, why don't you let Wang Tianlin call Wang Jing, he should know some of Lin Youlun's thoughts." ”

Shao Yifu felt that it was inappropriate. Wang Jing's two blockbuster movies this year are from Lin Youlun's handwriting, the two are not only good friends, but also have a very deep relationship of interest, Wang Jing will never reveal more inside information without Lin Youlun's permission. Even if Wang Jing is found, he can completely say that he doesn't know about Lu Dao, and others can't do anything about him.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Shao Yifu waved his hand, and suddenly felt a little excited. Golden Harvest is ambitious and is preparing to show his strength, but the Shaw Brothers are in a state of gloom and no longer have the courage of the past, is it really time for him to give up?

Shao Yifu has already moved the idea of discontinuing Shaw Brothers and completely giving up the movie, but on the other side of Golden Harvest, He Guanchang is discussing the shooting concept of the Hong Kong version of "Legend of the Night" with Lin Youlun.

"Tales of the Night" uses a lot of stunt shots, coupled with visually stunning makeup effects, to give the film a magical and terrifying atmosphere, thus making the film a huge commercial success in later generations.

The film was born 20 years later in Hollywood, where digital special effects technology has matured, and although Lin Youlun has made many adaptations to the script, deleting the werewolf transformation elements that must be produced by computer special effects, the difficulties encountered in making the film close to the original film are still headaches.

"The special effects team in charge of "Star Wars" has agreed to undertake the special effects production of the film, and the makeup artist was also hired from the United Kingdom, but these two expenses alone cost almost 30 million Hong Kong dollars." He Guanchang reported this number, and he was a little distressed when he heard it, but Lin Youlun didn't have any expression on his face.

Last year, Golden Harvest invested in Xu Ke's "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" is a special effect that the stunt team of "Star Wars" was asked to do, although the visual effects of this film are outstanding, the art modeling and actors' performances are extraordinary, but for Golden Harvest, it is just a loss-making business, the box office results of the film are average after its release, and even the cost has not been recovered after the most reluctance. On the contrary, a large number of action films concocted by Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long won high box office at low cost, so that Golden Harvest Company was not very interested in special effects.

If it weren't for Lin Youlun for this movie, Jiahe wouldn't dare to invest a lot of money in it, and now that the director of this movie has not even been determined, most of the money has been spent, He Guanchang is a little secretly anxious in his heart. "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" can bear the loss of Golden Harvest, and if "Legend of the Night" is smashed, it will be a heavy blow to Golden Harvest.

"That's not enough!" Lin Youlun said this sentence in silence for a while, almost making He Guanchang depressed and vomiting blood.

Seeing He Guanchang's expression of wanting to cry without tears, Lin Youlun also knew that it would be very difficult for Jiahe Investment to make it difficult for him to make it difficult for him to make it difficult for him, so he came up with an idea.

"I personally took out 30 million yuan for additional investment, but the dividend ratio should be increased to 10%, I don't know what Mr. He thinks?"

He Guanchang couldn't help but ask: "Lin Sheng, do you think it really costs so much money to make this movie?" ”

"80 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 10 million US dollars, is just a middle and lower level in Hollywood." Lin Youlun calculated an account for He Guanchang on the paper, then threw the pen away, and said: "Of course, if Mr. He thinks that he can make money from foreign audiences by relying on one or two action stars and making a few movies that jump up and down for foreigners to watch as monkey plays, then it will be better if I didn't say what I said just now." 50 million provinces can also make this movie, and I guarantee that Golden Harvest will not lose money, but it is difficult for this movie to become a high-quality product. Throwing a brick and a bomb into the water makes a splash of two levels. ”…,

He Guanchang's throat rolled with difficulty, he understood the reason, but he was still a little hesitant when faced with such a choice.

It is too easy for Hong Kong movies to make money in this era, so the eyes of many filmmakers are limited, even He Guanchang, which can't help but make Lin Youlun feel a little sad.

"Hong Kong filmmakers always have the psychology of gamblers who fight big with small things, they want to make money but are not willing to spend money, so they are always confined to small fights, and they think they have found a shortcut, but they don't know that shortcuts are the farthest way in this world."

Lin Youlun's words made He Guanchang a little embarrassed, although Hong Kong films have been produced over the years, but there are few works that are really sincere, and the name of "Oriental Hollywood" is indeed a little undeserved.

"Sincerity can be the idea of the script or the idea of shooting, but this is the most direct thing!" Lin Youlun made a move to count the money, "Hollywood has the support of the North American market, and it can invest a lot of money in movies, which is just a normal manifestation of capital's pursuit of profit; However, Hong Kong films do not have such a huge market, everyone thinks about how to control costs, and there is no profit impulse to increase investment in movies, and if you want to catch up with Hollywood, you can only rely on the vision and courage of the film companies themselves. It's also a gamble, and there's definitely a risk of losing, but if you don't gamble, it's tantamount to a fool's dream to catch up with Hollywood with natural development. ”

He Guanchang snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and a fierce and resolute light suddenly burst out in his eyes, "Since Lin Sheng is willing to participate in this gambling game in person, what reason does Jiahe have not to accompany him to the end?" ”

"Legend of the Night" has not yet started filming, and the investment has been increased to 80 million Hong Kong dollars, as soon as the news came out, the industry was shocked, from the entertainment industry to the media, everyone was shocked by Golden Harvest's bold efforts. Many people in the industry have a question in their minds, how much box office does such a movie have to be made to recover the cost?

100 million or 200 million? Or is it more? All Hong Kong people are crowded into the cinema, and I am afraid that they will not be able to support such a high box office.

And since it was revealed that Zhong Chuhong played the heroine of the film with a salary of 2 million, the media has been paying attention to who Golden Harvest will find to be the director of this film.

For a while, all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky, and Golden Harvest Company has not moved, but a movie called "Mr. Zombie", which avoided the attention of the media and quietly went on the Golden Harvest Cinema line.
