"Brother Fa, has the matter over there been resolved?"

"Almost......"

"Brother ∫, Mr. Xian told me that your film "Across the Seas" needs an additional investment of five million, right...

“…… I didn't think about this when I first filmed, and I didn't expect the cost of shooting in Europe to increase so much......"

The Kowloon Bank Building, Lin Xiaozhi's office is rarely lively, and many insiders were invited by him today. Zhang Guorong was sitting next to Chen Baiqiang chewing gum, Zhou Yanfa and Wu Yusen were laughing and chatting with him, and several young people from the UD band and the Happy Girl group were also standing together and surrounded him in the middle.

New Asia Records has undergone some changes not long ago, including Kwong Meiyun, Yuan Jieying and Luo Meiwei, several people finally left New Asia Records because of profits, or were poached by Polygram and Warner, or took refuge in EMI and Columbia Records (Sony)...... However, there are more newcomers who have gone more, although New Asia Records is not as good as Warner and other internationally famous record giants, but it relies on New Asia and Debao, several of Hong Kong's largest film companies, whether Chen Baiqiang or the members of the UD band and Happy Girl Group in the past two years, they have received invitations to film production, and the profits earned are much more than simply releasing records and holding concerts.

Of course, a number of bones have been dug up one after another, and the necessary pacification is inevitable. Lin Xiaozhi invited a group of people to come today, just to appease them, the elites of New Asia Records. As for Zhang Guorong, Zhou Yunfa and Wu Yusen, it was just a coincidence. Wu Yusen's "Across the Seas" was filmed in France due to the fact that some scenes had to be filmed in France, and the investment of 18UU million Hong Kong dollars planned before the result was only found to be a little nervous when it came to filming. I had to take the opportunity to go back to Hong Kong to congratulate Media Asia on its listing, and took the opportunity to come back and talk to the president of Debao Xian Qiran about additional investment.

After all, Debao has been acquired by Lin Xiaozhi, and Wu Yusen also knows that he wants to invest in the joy of investors, and he is also worried that Lin Xiaozhi will feel uncomfortable, so he came to apologize in person today.

“…… Fa Tsai, Rong Tsai and Ah Hong have worked very hard, and the filming of "Across the Seas" is very fast...... "Wu Yusen is very happy when he mentions the new work, "The filming will be over at the end of February at most......"

His filming speed has always been not fast, and at the same time, fast knife players Wang Jing and Liu Zhenwei can make two or three movies, and he may not be able to finish a single movie. But it is precisely because of this that his movies can ensure that almost all of them are high-quality, but Wang Jing and Liu Zhenwei cannot.

When Lin Xiaozhi heard this, he had already calculated an account for him in his heart. Wu Yusen's filming speed has not been fast, he said that the filming could be completed at the end of February, and Lin Xiaozhi automatically delayed it for half a month, so calculated, his "Across the Seas" will have to complete the post-production and review in May, and the publicity and release, it seems that it can only be used to plot the mid-year schedule. Compared with Wu Yusen, who is not fast, Liu Zhenwei is undoubtedly a lot faster. His "Truant Dragon" started filming only two or three days earlier than Wu Yusen's "Across the Seas", and now more than half of the filming has been completed, and it seems that it is very promising to be released in mid-to-late February, but it can do more at the end of the Chinese New Year.

"Don't worry about investing in ∫ brother, if you can improve the quality of the movie. Not to mention 5 million Hong Kong dollars, even 10UU million, UU 10,000, we will also give. I am very confident in ∫Brother Your directing ability, as well as Fa Ge, Rong Zai and Honggu's acting skills, even with "Across the Seas" has not finished filming yet, and I can't wait for the movie to be made......" paused, "After the movie comes out, Media Asia will strive to let it land in Europe and the United States......"

Relying on the output of the three films "Killer Leon", "Friend" and "Red Alert", the successive hot sales have made European distributors make money, and the new Asia Film Company under the name of Media Asia Group has a certain reputation in Europe, which is a golden signboard that cannot be exchanged for thousands of dollars, because it is with it that Media Asia can become the only two film groups in Hong Kong with a release channel in Europe together with Golden Harvest.

They all ate the bowl of rice from the movie, and Wu Yusen and the others obviously knew very well what it meant to be released in Europe, and they were all overjoyed when they heard the words, and thanked them repeatedly.

At the end, Fa Ge was still a little curious, and asked: "A few days ago, I saw in the newspaper that someone said that Lin Sheng was preparing a new movie, and it was said that there was a lot of movement, and he specially invited a construction company to build a shooting scene in a hurry......

Lin Xiaozhi smiled dumbly, his fourth movie had already been determined to make "Resident Evil". There are hundreds of technical personnel with new vision, plus there are dozens of makeup artists and stylists in Media Asia, which is barely enough. It's just that unlike traditional movies, "Resident Evil" requires a lot of scenes. Not to mention the underground base of the umbrella organization in the first part, the 'hive', is not a small project to arrange.

In order to perfectly recreate the scene, he hired a construction company to handle it for him in early December. Coincidentally, at a subway station in Kowloon that stopped operating because of sparse population, they found that there was a half-abandoned air-raid shelter dug by the Japanese army during World War II not far away.

Because of the movement of the renovation project, it was stabbed by some citizens to the media, and those masters with eyes and hands went to the government to check and soon found that the land was rented by Media, and the matter was exposed.

"Almost, I've got the script for my new movie ready. It's just that the requirements for the scene are relatively high, and it's still under construction, so it's conservatively estimated that it will be done before the Chinese New Year......"

It took two months to build a scene, which made Wu Yusen and the others take a breath, and their hearts were both envious and sad. You must know that most of their filming is improvised, and it is not just to find a rental that barely meets the script to use, and it is cheap. Most Hong Kong directors and crews make movies based on this point of view, for example, the treasure that often appears in treasure hunting movies is either a small room, a dozen boxes full of jewels, and a row of weapons; It's not just treasure in a small cave and a few tricks that look rubbish. Although it saves a lot of shooting costs, it also makes the Hong Kong film scenes and layouts look very small. For a long time, except for Cheng Long's movies that occasionally play big scenes, the rest of Hong Kong movies have always been very small in scenes.

The main reason for this is that there is no money. Lin Xiaozhi obviously doesn't know how to make money, but he is not the kind of person who blindly pursues results. When he rented an abandoned bomb shelter from the government and rebuilt it, he had already signed a 20-year contract with the local government to use it, so he carefully hired a special designer to design the hive according to his own instructions, and at the same time asked the construction company to meticulously use the best materials to complete the construction. In addition to considering the use of filming, he also plans to open the place to the outside world in the future, allowing Hong Kong residents and movie fans to buy tickets to watch it.

Movies don't create a lot of artificial attractions
