Volume 1 Chapter 428 Mainland Film Investigation Group (II)
The post-production of "Resident Evil" is finally over, and it is really not easy.
In order to catch up with this year's summer file, it goes without saying that the pre-shooting is in a hurry. After the end of the pre-shooting, Lin Xiaozhi almost every day had to spare a few hours to personally supervise the post-editing and special effects processing, in order to complete these as soon as possible, even did not hesitate to use two shifts to catch up with the process, with the hard work of more than 100 computer engineers and hundreds of editing, soundtrack, lighting and other behind-the-scenes personnel, the workload that would have taken more than half a year to complete was finally compressed into five months.
Since stepping into the film industry, it can be said that "Resident Evil" is the most laborious movie he has ever made. It's not that he doesn't want to shoot and produce as leisurely as others, Lin Xiaozhi, who is in such a hurry, is also worried that something will go wrong in one link and make a bad movie, so he will take time to follow up the post-production in person every day.
But time waits for no one, after the listing of Media Asia at the beginning of the year, the stock price rushed up like a rocket, and it was about to break the market value mark of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which really made him happy and worried. The good thing is that the wealth on his books, which is the so-called 'worth', has easily achieved a leap from one billion to several times with the soaring stock price. He was worried because he knew better than anyone else that the beautiful myths of Media Asia were built on piles of foam filled with water.
I can blow this bubble up, and it blows so big. Although he Lin Xiaozhi has not been less self-hyped, but those issuers and brokerages who have made a lot of money from the listing of Media Asia are the biggest behind-the-scenes promoters, they have made most of the money and run away, and the remaining seemingly glamorous Media Asia is left to himself and those who do not know the truth and are confused by the speculation and brilliance of his Lin Xiaozhi's past.
No matter how beautiful the bubble is, it will not have to burst one day, although he Lin Xiaozhi has successively acquired Meiya, the largest advertising production company and distributor in Hong Kong, and acquired the American independent production company - Miramax Company, it seems that the foundation of Media Asia has been enriched, in fact, Lin Xiaozhi has always had a number in his heart, once Media Asia's financial situation or the group's income is lower than the expectations of the outside world, it is the time when the bubble is burst.
In the first half of the year, the box office of "Media Asia and Red Alert" in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea brought hundreds of millions of profits to overseas videotapes, and I was not worried that the financial statements for the outside world to see were not glamorous. But it won't be in the second half of the year, and new moisturizing points are needed to come out to support Media Asia. It is no exaggeration to say that "Resident Evil" was forced to shorten the production cycle from one year to half a year.
"Good job......"
After reading the copy disc sent, Lin Xiaozhi was quite satisfied with the post-production of "Resident Evil", limited by technical skills, from the perspective of the master of special effects movies such as "Vanda" and "Transformers", "Resident Evil" made by Media Asia with the strength of a group, although it is better than the plot and fighting of the Constantine version, but the special effects are limited by the limitations of the times, and there are still some small flaws
However, the flaws are not hidden, this movie can be made in 9l years, which is ten years ahead of its birth, and Media Asia has done its best to make it out of a group, which can be said to represent the highest level of the Hong Kong film industry now, although there is still a gap with Hollywood's "Terminator" that has been filmed, and the gap with "Jurassic Park" that will be launched next year is even more huge, but looking at the entire world, it is also the first-class level. On this year's box office list of the world, there will definitely be a place for his "Resident Evil", and a year of preparation and hard work has not been wasted.
", you promised us that after completing the special effects production of "Resident Evil", you would give us a paid vacation"
dared to put forward conditions to him, naturally it was Harvey, one of the two giants in the past.
Seeing that his brown-gray curly hair also looked greasy and greasy, Lin Xiaozhi knew that these technicians had been working overtime for the post-special effects processing of "Resident Evil" for a while, and now it will take some time before the filming of Xu Ke's "Black Man" is completed, so for the time being, there are not many movies that need to use computer special effects.
"Yes, but I have to leave some people on rotation and a week's vacation, but I have to return to normal work before October." ”
People who have skills are popular wherever they go. Hong Kong's special effects are not good, the scientific and technological foundation is too poor, although most of the technical personnel that Media Asia now has are recruited locally in Hong Kong, in fact, there are some from Singapore and Taiwan, although there are few companies in Asia that can offer better treatment than Media Asia, but in order to avoid a group of technical personnel who have been hard to run in and be poached, the necessary preferential treatment still has to be given. Anyway, they can create far higher value for themselves than they pay, and Lin Xiaozhi is still willing to pay for this money.
"Resident Evil" completed post-production, and I thought that as long as the film passed the rating review of the electrical inspection department, it would be released at any time. This is good news for Huanya, which has passively responded to Golden Harvest's moves in recent months. Because at this time, Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has been released in Hong Kong for a while, although the results are better than the first one, but the box office in the first week is not as good as Ni Zhen's "Baby Lucky Star", and the final box office in this port can exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
At this time, if Media Asia's "Resident Evil" is released and gets a box office that far exceeds that of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", it will undoubtedly be able to pay tribute to the aggressive Golden Harvest in the past few months.
There is no need for Lin Xiaozhi to tell him any more, when he notified the news that "Resident Evil" had completed post-production, the publicity side began to formulate various publicity plans, and the distribution also began to contact distributors in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
With the arrival of September, Lin Xiaozhi received another good news, led by the newly established Beijing Film Group and the Hong Kong and Taiwan Film and Television Works Cooperation Department on the mainland, a 'mainland film delegation' will arrive in Hong Kong in the near future to conduct a six-day friendly inspection of the Hong Kong film industry or the Media Asia Group. According to his information, he was accompanied by the first batch of filmmakers who were carefully selected by the mainland to study in Hong Kong, and although he was given a list of only about 20 people's names, it also made his eyes light up, because it was full of his people.
