The popularity of "Sky Stealing Plan" will cause such consequences, which is really out of Han Jin's expectations. △

Seeing that Jiahe and Princess Jin had both postponed the negotiations of the "three-line alliance" under different pretexts, Han Jin was also a little at a loss, thinking that he was too hasty.

"Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet! Now Golden Harvest and Princess Jin feel that they are okay, and in two years, the hot money of Taiwanese film companies will pour into Hong Kong, and then they will know that they regret not being at the beginning when they taste the bitter fruit. Han Jin said depressedly, the short-sightedness of these Hong Kong filmmakers is to mourn their misfortune and be angry with them.

However, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of film source immediately, because Golden Harvest is worried that continuing to cooperate will grow Yongsheng, and it is no longer engaged in double-line joint screenings, or sent some bad movies for release. It's better to have a film like that than nothing, and after the screening, there is no benefit except for smashing the sign.

Yongsheng now has three films waiting to be released, "Why Have Me", "Women's Heart", and Siyuan Pictures' "Inside the Law", there will be no shortage of film sources for the time being.

However, in the long run, without the stable source of Jiahe, Yongsheng will indeed face serious problems in the future, which requires the company to find a solution. Otherwise, when these three movies are finished, Yongsheng is likely to face a situation where there are no films to play.

Han Jin doesn't want to lower the standard of theater release because he wants to make money, which leads to a crisis in theaters.

"If you don't have a suitable film, take the old movie back and play it and do some nostalgic special or something." Han Jin thought about it and said to Ji Fanghua.

"Screening old films?! Isn't that the same as those second- and third-rate theaters? Wang Jing blinked.

In addition to the three cinema chains of Golden Harvest, Golden Princess and Yongsheng, there are many small cinemas in Hong Kong, most of which are community cinemas, rural cinemas, or very dilapidated old-fashioned cinemas.

Because they can't afford to rent new copies, they can only wait for the big theaters to run out, and then they will go to the second round. Third round of screenings. Because the ticket price is more than half cheaper than the large theater line, it is more popular with the people at the bottom of the society.

"Old movies are not necessarily bad, more than half of the annual revenue of Hollywood studios is supported by old movies in the library." Han Jin glanced at Wang Jing and said, "Hong Kong film companies don't pay much attention to the management of the film library, which I think is very bad." ”

"But if you show old films. People will make fun of us. Ji Fanghua also frowned and said.

"Then it depends on how you do publicity, you can say that we don't want old films to be dusty, you can say that you give old audiences a chance to be nostalgic, and you can also say that you can help everyone get back their childhood memories." Han Jin said, "Hollywood has old films re-released every year, which makes these studios make a lot of money, why don't we give it a try?" ”

"Jin Shao is right, there are so many film companies in Hong Kong, and so many works are released every year. Accumulated a very rich film library. And there are many movies that are very classic, and I believe that if they are re-released, they will be well received. Yu Zheng also said.

"Okay then." Wang Jing heard Han Jin say this, and listened to Yu Zheng's Jianyì, so he also nodded and said.

Han Jin smiled, "I think you can pay for the film libraries of those film companies to buy them directly, although it may not be worth much now, but when the video recorder is popularized in the future, you can also make money by publishing video tapes in the future." ”

Han Jin hasn't said anything about VCDs, DVDs, and the Internet. If you can have a library of Hong Kong films, you can make a lot of money with these old movies in the future.

You must know that the tastes of the audience are also very different. Some people like to watch new movies, and some people like to watch old movies. Youku Tudou Hong Kong film channel, the click-through rate of decades-old Hong Kong films is still very high, which is proof.

"Okay." Ji Fanghua nodded.

"The re-screening of the old film is just a temporary plan, Brother Jing, the shooting of the new film has to be hurried." Han Jin said to Wang Jing again. "How is "The True Color of Heroes" being filmed now?"

"We're only halfway through the shoot now, but I think it should be done in October." Wang Jing said.

"Well, let them not sacrifice the quality of the movie just because they have to rush the schedule." Han Jin nodded and said, "The theater chain is not afraid to lose some money." I can hold on. But I don't want to make some bad movies to fool the audience because I want to make money, which will sooner or later ruin the market. ”

"If only all filmmakers in Hong Kong could think like Jin Shao." Yu Zheng said with a smile.

"Brother Jing, you've been thinking about starting a new film recently." Han Jin smiled again and said, "It would be a pity if you didn't show your talent." ”

Wang Jing heard Han Jin say this, and he also smiled, "I have already thought about the story of the new film, I want to make an Indiana . Jones-esque films. ”

"Treasure hunting? Interesting, let's hear it. Han Jin smiled, and suddenly remembered Cheng Long's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" and "Flying Eagle Project".

These two movies caused quite a stir when they were released back then, even now it seems that neither the storyline nor the action scenes are outdated.

Wang Jing then told the story he had conceived, "There is an extraordinary city hunter named Falcon, who specializes in helping the police fight criminals and sweep away crimes, which can be called a crime buster. One day he received a letter from a friend asking him to go to Egypt for a ......"

When Han Jin heard it, this story was not the same as the treasure hunting story he thought. He remembered that this film was not "Magic Jade" starring Liu Dehua.

Han Jin watched a section of that movie, but he couldn't stand the inferior special effects and the actors' contrived performances, so he deleted it after only watching a little bit in the end.

"Brother Jing, this story is not bad, quite innovative. Have you watched too much Wesley? Han Jin said with a smile.

Ni Wei's "Wesley" is used to classifying all ghosts and gods as aliens, and this falcon is both skilled in fists and feet, and likes to fight unevenly, which seems to have a lot in common with that Wesley.

Wang Jing scratched his head in embarrassment, his story was indeed borrowed from Ni Jing's "Wesley", but this is really nothing in Hong Kong.

"Well, this story can be filmed, but how much investment do you need?" Han Jin asked again.

"I think six million Hong Kong dollars should be about the same." Wang Jing thought for a while.

Han Jin smiled, his last movie "Sky Stealing Project", originally planned to invest 8 million Hong Kong dollars, but later because he joined a large number of gunfights. and car chasing, so the cost has also reached 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Jing's "Magic Jade" may not be as good as "Sky Stealing Plan" in terms of action scenes, but it has higher requirements in terms of special effects.

If it was only filmed with 6 million Hong Kong dollars, with Wang Jing's careful budgeting skills, he would indeed be able to make a movie. But the quality, I guess it's like the version I watched in my previous life. Rough and inferior.

"Brother Jing, to make this kind of sci-fi film abroad, the minimum investment is millions of US dollars, even if our Hong Kong film labor is low, I believe it will be difficult to shoot the same effect as Hollywood with 6 million Hong Kong dollars." Han Jin waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'll double it for you, 12 million Hong Kong dollars, you can make good use of it." ”

Wang Jing heard Han Jin say this. I couldn't help but be greatly moved.

The average boss will only think that the director spends a lot of money, this money should be saved, and that money should not be spent, and he can't let the director shoot the effect of 100 yuan with one dollar.

But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the movie itself is a money-burning business, and some money cannot be saved at all. For example, sets, special effects, props......

If you listen to the boss. Blindly save money, even if the movie is made. Quality is not bearable; If you don't listen to your boss and spend more money in pursuit of results, you are likely to be fired on the spot.

Therefore, meeting a boss who is willing to spend money is an unattainable thing for all directors.

Why did Cheng Long stay in Golden Harvest for so many years. And you didn't think about changing jobs?!

The main reason is that he spent too much money on filming, "Thunderbolt" invested 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and more than 30 racing cars worth one million Hong Kong dollars were destroyed alone, and only Golden Harvest in Hong Kong is so wealthy.

Back then, Dasha Cheng Kui'an accidentally crashed a Mercedes-Benz car, but he was scolded by Li Xiuxian for a day by pointing his nose.

"Ah Jin......" Wang Jing's eyes were red when he was moved. It's so happy to find a boss who understands his difficulties and is willing to spend money for himself.

"Okay, don't look at me like that, I don't make glass." Han Jin said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help but sneer, and Wang Jing himself smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, Director Liu, didn't you say that you also wrote a script before, how about it?" Han Jin asked Liu Zhenwei again.

Since the release of "Mr. Zombie", Liu Zhenwei has been following Zheng Zeshi as the producer, and now that "Why Have Me" has been completed, he should be idle.

"It's already written." Liu Zhenwei said, and then told his story again.

"A certain police station was a club of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Japanese occupation era. Then Japan was defeated and surrendered, and many officers committed suicide by disembowelment, and they were ready to act every Halloween......"

When people heard the beginning of this story, they thought it was very interesting.

It was originally a police station that guarded the righteous and evil, but it turned out to be a demon cave, and the setting itself was unexpected.

And the next story is indeed full of twists and turns, funny with a hint of horror, very interesting.

These ghosts are said to be ghosts, but judging by their habits, they are more like Western vampires, which are completely different from traditional Chinese ghosts.

But it is also because of this that it is even more novel, which can be regarded as a subversion of traditional ghost culture.

"Well, it's pretty good to hear this story." Han Jin said with a smile.

Wang Jing also nodded, and admired Liu Zhenwei's ghost talent.

With the addition of ghost elements to a police-themed movie like this, and the messy stew of vampires and Oriental Halloween, he couldn't come up with such a whimsical idea.

"How much money are you going to invest in this story?" Han Jin asked again.

"Well, I think maybe one or two million is about the same. I didn't ask for too many stunts in this movie, and there were no big scenes. Liu Zhenwei said with a smile.

Han Jin nodded, "Then I will approve you with 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars first, and then add it as much as you can if you don't have enough." ”

"Thank you, Jinshao." Liu Zhenwei said with a smile.

"Well, is Wang Jiawei still thinking about the script at home?" Han Jin asked again.

Liu Zhenwei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded awkwardly.

Wang Jiawei said half a year ago that he wanted to write a script, and he has been writing it until now, and he hasn't even seen a piece of paper.

"He's already starting to draw storyboards, and he's less energetic." Liu Zhenwei helped him say.

Wang Jing couldn't help pouting when he heard this, and it took half a year to only draw the sub-shot. If you have this time for him, I don't dare to say more, at least four movies can be made.

With such a skill, he dared to stay in the company with a cheeky face to eat, if it was him, he would have resigned a long time ago.

"Well, let him draw slowly." Han Jin nodded.

He has long been accustomed to Wang Jiawei's grinding style, and he has been waiting for half a year, and it is not bad to wait for a few more months. Besides, it is much cheaper to let him take a few thousand yuan a month to ponder at home than to let him spend tens of thousands of yuan a day and stay in the crew to ponder.

"Director Guan, your "Women's Heart" has been completed, do you have any themes you want to shoot next?" Han Jin asked Guan Jinpeng, who was sitting in the corner, again.

"Me?!" Guan Jinpeng was stunned, he didn't expect Han Jin to let himself start filming a new film so soon, he originally thought that after the release of "Women's Heart", people would make a decision after watching the box office. (To be continued!)
