Chapter 650: The Dark Horse is Coming, Are You Ready?

"Jurassic Park" was released simultaneously around the world, setting off a movie-watching boom in various countries.

The grand perspective and amazing special effects, whether it is the imagination of film art or the execution of film shooting, are known as the pioneering works of the new era of special effects, shining in the annals of history.

Hollywood films have always liked special effects, and with the creation of "Terminator 2" with a cost of 100 million yuan, the cost of Hollywood blockbusters has increased rapidly.

However, the advent of "Jurassic Park" can be described as a sideshow, allowing countries around the world to see that special effects blockbusters are not Hollywood patents, and there is a region in the East called Hong Kong, which can also shoot special effects blockbusters that are not inferior to Hollywood!

This film is also known as a sign that Hong Kong cinema has officially gone global.

The investment cost of 50 million US dollars is definitely an unimaginable figure for Hong Kong films at this time. Although "Jurassic Park" has only been released for a few days, no one doubts that such a high investment will not be recovered, judging from the full theaters and rave reviews in various countries. More people are just thinking about how high the global box office of the film can be.

In an interview with reporters, Spielberg joked that Chen Ping'an was a "thief" and "stole" some of the suspense and horror atmosphere foreshadowing methods in "Jaws" directed by him. In the end, he said that if Dark Horse International is interested in remaking the American version of "Jurassic Park", he is interested in directing it, and he is sure that he is more suitable than James Cameron to make this kind of movie.

Alain Ryder admitted with a smile when reporters interviewed him to verify the question about Chen Ping'an's challenge to him throwing white gloves. And to reiterate here. This was supposed to be a classic Hollywood special effects blockbuster, but it was murdered by Chen Ping'an, who has a strong oriental plot. He stressed. Even if Chen Ping'an challenged himself to throw white gloves again, he still insisted. Following "The Love of People and Ghosts", Chen Ping'an personally destroyed a classic film that shocked the world.

However, after the global release of "Jurassic Park" this time, for Western audiences, for the first time, there was no problem of face blindness. It seems that as "Empire" magazine commented, the real protagonists of this film are the dinosaurs created by the special effects of the dark horse!

The brutal Tyrannosaurus rex, the eerie Velociraptor, the gentle long-necked Mamenxi dragon...... These images come to life. It seems that the various dinosaurs that were filmed in real life have attracted the attention of the vast majority of the audience.

On the second day of the release, all kinds of dinosaur dolls prepared by Ye Zhiming's Dark Horse Investment Company have landed in theaters in various countries. More than half of the audiences who come to the cinema to watch the movie will choose to buy it. Especially for the little ones, dinosaur dolls have simply become their favorite.

A few days later, there was another exciting news from the United States, and the top game design team in the United States, TelltaleGames, was personally responsible for the bidding. Obtained the game adaptation design rights of "Jurassic Park", and will design related adventure games as quickly as possible

At the same time, the Hong Kong Tourism Board and the Japanese tourism department have issued statements that the number of tourists received this summer has reached a record high. On the Japanese side. The main reason is the increase in Taiwanese tourists.

Due to the ban of Chen Ping'an by the Taiwan authorities, the director "Jurassic Park" could not be screened on the island, and the Taiwanese public could only go to the island to take pictures. Japan and Hong Kong came first. After watching "Jurassic Park", you can also take a tour by the way.

Thereinto. Hong Kong saw the largest increase in the number of tourists, except for Taiwanese tourists who came to watch the movie. The Jurassic Theme Park in Sharp Island has become one of the most attractive attractions for tourists this summer!

No travel agency can attract tourists to Hong Kong if it does not have this attraction on its itinerary.

Jurassic Theme Park, which has just opened its doors, has instantly become the most popular tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Due to the large number of tourists, far exceeding the number of visitors that Jurassic Theme Park can handle, in order to ensure public safety, the Hong Kong government has even called on Hong Kong people to temporarily abandon their plans to visit Sharp Island and give priority to foreign tourists visiting Jurassic Theme Park.

The hot scene of the Jurassic theme park, because Chen Ping'an is not in Hong Kong, has made Qiu Degen and his Far Eastern Group the darlings of public opinion. Qiu Degen was frequently interviewed about his cooperation with Chen Ping'an, Far Eastern Group and Dark Horse International, full of pride in the success of a strategist.

Since Jurassic Park is jointly established by Far Eastern Group and Dark Horse International, it is beneficial to the full number of tourists, and the income attributable to Far Eastern Group will increase significantly, and the stock price of Far Eastern Group has also risen by more than 20% in a short period of time.

There are unfounded speculations in third-rate tabloids that He Hongshen once called He Chaoqiong, scolded her daughter on the phone, and asked her why the partner she chose for the Jurassic theme park project was Qiu Degen, not him.

At a glance, insiders knew that this was a report made up in order to attract attention. They know very well that the construction of the Jurassic theme park was actually one of the conditions attached to Chen Ping'an's acquisition of ATV's entire equity from Qiu Degen.

At that time, many people thought that Chen Ping'an was too domineering, and threatened him with cheap shares of the Far Eastern Group in his hand, and felt that Qiu Degen suffered a loss. But now I only have envy, and at the same time secretly sigh that Chen Ping'an is a particular person, and he will never suffer a loss when cooperating with him.

In mid-July, the broadcast of "The Legend of the New White Lady" ended, ending with the highest rating of 73.2 and the average rating of 63.6, creating a ratings miracle. After the broadcast of the successor "The Great Era", it once again caused a ratings frenzy, and the ratings of the first episode were as high as 65.4.

On the second day of the premiere of "The Great Era", "Sing Tao Daily" published an article titled "Dark Horse Attack, Are You Ready!" ", hyped up the huge breakthroughs made by Dark Horse International in film and television this summer, and asked other film and television companies in Hong Kong in a ridiculous tone whether they were ready to take on Dark Horse International.

In the article, "Sing Tao Daily" clearly pointed out that the success of "Jurassic Park" around the world is a disaster for the Hong Kong entertainment industry. With the concept of Hong Kong filmmakers and the filming mode, I am afraid that no one will be able to reach the height of Chen Ping'an in 50 years.

Because of Chen Ping'an, Dark Horse International has become a banner firmly planted in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens. Non-replaceable. If other film companies do not change in a certain period, they can only become a footnote to Dark Horse International.

At the same time, he jokingly asked about wireless in the text. Because of the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", how many long episodes have been cut in half? "The Great Era", which has just begun to air. How many episodes is wireless ready to cut in half?

Finally, I warn the Hong Kong film and television industry not to think that this year's dark horse wave has passed, in fact, this is the beginning. Dark Horse International and ATV have long indicated that in the second half of this year, Chen Ping'an will have two Hong Kong films to be released, and ATV is preparing the costume drama "Miao Cuihua", the screenwriter is also Chen Ping'an, and the protagonists are Jiang Hua and Chen Ping'an, one of ATV's popular students, are extremely optimistic about the highly recommended Asian sister Guan Yonghe!

In the face of the report of "Sing Tao Daily", the wireless side was helpless. It's not that they don't work hard. It's that Chen Ping'an is too rebellious. Fang Yihua felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but fortunately, Shao Yifu was used to seeing the wind and waves, so he told her not to pay attention to ATV and just be herself.

Over the years, wireless has accumulated a deep heritage, and that is not something to talk about casually. The success of "The Legend of the New White Lady" and "Big Time" is inevitable, but a TV station can't completely change the situation with one or two TV series.

Avoiding its edge in the way of Tian Ji horse racing, dealing with ATV at its peak, snatching ratings for other periods, and after the end of "Big Time". Launched a wireless boutique TV series to snatch back the lost audience.

In the end, Shao Yifu also set the main tone of this year's wireless for Fang Yihua: stop thinking about overpowering ATV in terms of overall ratings, and ensure the ratio of five to five.

As for the film companies in Hong Kong...... Small film companies don't care at all, all they want is to follow the trend and make money. At present, the movie about dinosaurs is almost finished, although the shooting is shoddy, and the special effects are even more miserable. It's a bad word to describe, but this is the style of follow-up films. Launch as fast as you can and grab a buck.

And several large film companies. is thinking about the inspiration that the success of "Jurassic Park" has brought to them.

These veteran filmmakers have seen the business opportunities in the global market from this movie, and they also understand the preferences of the global market to some extent.

Sci-fi films, big special effects, big scenes, and unrestrained thinking...... Even if the investment cost reaches tens of millions of dollars, if the shooting is good, it will not be able to recover the cost, and it will be able to earn more revenue, and the box office is only part of the revenue!

However, it is easy to invest tens of millions of dollars, which is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is too risky for various film companies, so they are considering joint shooting, and they have already begun to contact and prepare to implement this plan.

Screenwriters from various film companies are busy, and New Arts City, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, has screenwriting students who write scripts and receive handsome bonuses whenever there are clever ideas in the scripts that are adopted.

Debao went to Europe to find well-known screenwriters to buy scripts, and Golden Harvest held the first Hong Kong Science Fiction Script Competition.

In a word, find an excellent script first, and then shoot it together. In addition to horror films without borders, sci-fi films that value special effects also have no borders! Co-shooting sci-fi films may be a shortcut out of Hong Kong to the global market!

When many people began to think deeply because of the report of "Sing Tao Daily", the president of "Sing Tao Daily" newspaper dialed Chen Ping'an, who was far away on the other side of the ocean.

"A'an, everything is done."

"Thank you, brother, when I go back, I'll invite you to dinner."

"Let's skip eating, every time we eat, it's like a **, sneaky and unsightly. You'd better give me more scoops. ”

"No problem, I'll give it to you when I get back."

"Then we're done. By the way, why do you post such articles and make yourself the enemy of everyone? ”

"An enemy of all? If they really think of me as an enemy, I don't mind killing them and looking for someone to rebuild a few film companies. But I believe that they are smart people who know what to do. ”

Hung up the phone, the boss of "Sing Tao Daily" was confused, and he didn't expect that the current Hong Kong film industry was already surging, and a war in which Hong Kong films officially hit the world stage was brewing...... (To be continued......) R1292
