Next year's summer file is destined to be an epic monster "Jurassic Park" that will crush everything, not only because the film is too well-made, but also has a special era background.

The United States had just overthrown the Soviet Union, a super-empire, a year ago, and now it is in a period of time when no one dares to defeat the world, and "Jurassic Park" is also a means of exporting American culture and values to the outside world, and it has gained a lot of convenience so that it can be widely distributed around the world.

Once it is released, almost most of the movies in the same period will avoid it, not only movies with the same theme and similar genres will be crushed, but even other types of movies will be impacted. It is difficult not to be affected, so you can only choose as much as possible the themes that the audience will be interested in while watching "Jurassic Park".

The new movie is going to shoot "The Mummy", which Lin Xiaozhi thought about repeatedly for half a year before it was determined.

The reason for choosing to make this movie is actually very simple, Media Asia has temporarily lost the traditional Chinese-speaking foreign market in Taiwan Province, and the box office in Hong Kong is gradually saturated, and it has to face the competition between Golden Harvest and Yongsheng, which have strengthened their power, and the Golden Princess, who has not gone bankrupt but has been listed, and the mainland market has just opened to it, because the market has not yet taken shape, and almost all of the profits receivable from the mainland are used for advertising and mainland market operations.

Therefore, if Media Asia wants to develop and grow, it has to rely on foreign markets.

The majority of Media Asia's income now comes from the European and American markets and Japan and South Korea, and for a long time in the future, the world will still be centered on white people, and traditional Chinese culture is not accepted by European and American whites, so if you want to succeed in shooting a movie with a strong Chinese culture in Europe and the United States, it is simply looking for death, unless Media Asia's special effects force is immediately raised to the level of "Journey to the West" to the level of "Avatar", otherwise there is not enough money to burn.

Therefore, it will be easier to succeed if the film is made according to the preferences of European and American audiences, or more accurately, according to the preferences of the universal public.

That's why he decided to prepare to face the epic monster - "Jurassic Park" - the new movie, and make "The Mummy"!

"The Mummy" does not have too high requirements for special effects, at least far less than "Jurassic Park", otherwise even if Media Asia's special effects production capabilities have improved significantly in the past two years, it will be difficult to be qualified for a blockbuster production with excessive requirements for CG special effects.

Egypt and China belong to the world's four major civilizations, but in the 90s, their universal acceptance far surpassed that of China. Because although China is one of the five permanent members, its current strength is far from being comparable to its status, and Chinese mainland is the largest red country after the collapse of the Soviet Union, so it is often viewed internationally with hostility and colored glasses.

Egypt is located on the Mediterranean coast and has been a member of the pan-European cultural circle since around the Common Era, from Cleopatra, who was entangled with Caesar and Antony during the Roman period; To the excavation of the pyramids led by European scholars in modern times, a large number of treasures and precious cultural relics have been unearthed, making Egypt an ancient country full of mystery and mystery in the eyes of Europeans in the 19th century; At the same time, Egypt's national strength continued to grow after World War II, and its role as one of the initiators of the Non-Aligned Movement in the sixties, coupled with its special geographical location, gave Egypt a wide influence in the world.

Therefore, making a film that combines ancient Egyptian mythology will not worry about acceptance in Europe, the United States and even the world.

As for whether Britain really recruited Chinese soldiers from colonial Hong Kong during World War I, it is not a question at all, in the first World War in history, China exported a large number of laborers, who dares to guarantee that Britain and France did not secretly send them to the front line as cannon fodder! What's more, Britain did have a large number of soldiers recruited from colonies such as India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc.!

Moreover, you don't see that in the "Plan A", which was a big hit in Japan, there have long been Chinese who have served as chief superintendents of the Marine Police and the Land Police.

In later generations of American movies and TV series, you can see the protagonist of the movie from time to time selling some unreliable 'knowledge' in a serious way, and Lin Xiaozhi once clearly remembered that in the two hit American dramas, there was a male protagonist with a face. I have knowledge and I am proud', pointing to a terracotta warrior and horse of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that has been obviously scaled down to only half an arm's size and a sculpture of an eagle lion beast that haunts Western legends (if I remember correctly, it should be from a certain administrator and a certain warehouse), and the heroine said nonsense that the former is a precious cultural relic unearthed from the tomb of the Mongolian emperor Genghis Khan, and the latter is a sacred beast that has guarded the treasure in China since ancient times.

The differences between cultures in various countries lead to many times when the screenwriter is a serious nonsense, and many viewers don't know what nonsense he is talking about!

……

"More than 3,000 years ago, during the New Dynasty of Egypt, there was a pair of childhood sweethearts in Thebes, Egypt - Immorton and Ansuna, but because of Ansuna's beauty, she was later favored by Pharaoh and elected as queen, and Immorton also became the high priest of Pharaoh with her help, and the two still maintained a relationship without telling Pharaoh.

Finally, one day the pharaoh noticed it, so the two killed the pharaoh in a panic, but the pharaoh's guards immediately rushed in when they heard his screams, and Immorton made a promise to resurrect her at Ansuna's behest, and fled after watching her commit suicide.

He then infiltrated the Hamna Tower, the tomb of the pharaohs, and stole the Book of the Dead, which is said to possess the power of the gods, in an attempt to resurrect his beloved. Unfortunately, he was only halfway through the ceremony when he was interrupted by the pharaoh's guards who had found the queen's body stolen and chased him, Ansuna's soul returned to the underworld, Immorton's henchmen were brutally mummified one by one, and he was subjected to the most vicious punishment in ancient Egyptian history - insect devouring, a vicious punishment that legend has it that will make the soul of the victim immortal and trapped in a rotten body and tortured!

Three thousand years later, Yang Lin from Hong Kong, one of the soldiers recruited from the colonies by the British, and his comrade-in-arms Hani survived the First World War. Unfortunately, during a march, they accidentally broke into the Tower of Hamna, the capital of the dead guarded by the descendants of the pharaoh's guards for more than 3,000 years, and were attacked by the descendants of the pharaoh's guards.

After the army was defeated and he received betrayal from his comrades, Yang Lin thought he was going to die, but he accidentally saved his life, and he broke into the boundless desert, and it took a lot of hard work to save his life. Unfortunately, not long after he fled to Cairo, he was arrested and imprisoned in prison after a thief stole the key he had brought out of the Tower of Hamna.

As he waits for the judgment to come, Jonathan's sister Eve, the thief who stole it from him, discovers the strangeness of the key and finds him and begs him to take him to find Hamnata. After some bargaining, the Eve siblings successfully persuaded Yang Lin and the warden to form a group to find the legendary capital of the undead, the Tower of Hamna!

The group left Cairo and crossed the Sahara Desert on the Nile, first encountering an attack by the mysterious men in black on the way, and then a treasure hunt team from the United States!

After all kinds of tribulations, Hamnata finally found it, but while Eve was looking through the Book of the Dead that she had stolen from the Americans, she inadvertently recited a spell to liberate the terrifying high priest who had been subjected to the torture of insect devouring for 3,000 years without dying, and had completely turned into a resentful demon - Immorton!

And so, a catastrophe struck! ”

……

Because he had heard the general synopsis of the story from Lin Xiaozhi before, out of trust in him, Chow Yun-fat only flipped through the script in a hurry, closed the script and put it aside, and replied happily: "Thanks to Lin Sheng's love, I have no other arrangements recently to take over this movie!" ”

"League of Assassins", which has just finished its release in the United States, can be said to have earned all the limelight, with the cooperation of Miramax's publicity offensive, coupled with the "bullet effects" and "gun fighting" of this film that openly flaunted the banner of "action innovation", which was absolutely blinding in the early 90s, and the Hong Kong-style hard-core action that American filmmakers have not yet learned, finally made it nearly 1 month after its release in the United States. The staggering box office of $7.7 billion almost crushed most of the domestic American films released during the same period.

Although Chow Yun-fat is not the protagonist in this movie, compared with the dark horse prince Liu Qingyun and the heroine Hu Huizhong, the father of the protagonist played by him, who staged a stunning long-range sniper several kilometers away at the beginning, has also been widely praised by all walks of life, which is a very big career improvement for Chow Yun-fat, who has almost received some comedic roles since "The True Color of Heroes".

Not long ago, when he was still cooperating with the publicity in the United States, his agent, who is also his wife, excitedly informed him that several American film companies had contacted her and wanted to invite him to play the role of male number three and male number four in several Hollywood movies. You must know that just before the release of "League of Assassins", the sister-in-law who was ambitious and wanted to push Fa Ge to Hollywood once went to the United States with his past information to recommend it, but unfortunately not to mention the Hollywood Big Five, even some small and medium-sized independent production companies, they are not interested in Fa Ge, a Hong Kong superstar, and they are not even willing to give a test screening role.

The arrogance of American filmmakers and Fa Ge's status in Hong Kong have made him have some resistance to Hollywood. What's more, now that Hong Kong films are gaining momentum, and he can play the male lead in the new film of Lin Xiaozhi, the best commercial film director recognized as the best in Hong Kong, although looking at the plot he seems to be a genre that Lin Xiaozhi has tried newly, Chow Yun-fat still has confidence in him.

In fact, it wasn't just him, as soon as he nodded and agreed, he saw the envy flashing in Jackie Chan's eyes next to him. As one of the first action superstars in Hong Kong to hit Hollywood, Jackie Chan has filmed many movies in the past ten years in an attempt to create a career in the United States.

So if he can, he actually wants to cooperate with Lin Xiaozhi, a famous director who has already won the title of Asia's No. 1 commercial film director. However, Lin Xiaozhi did not invite him, and Jackie Chan could only envy him in his heart, after all, with his status and identity in the industry today, it is difficult to pull down his face and ask others to appear in a movie like he did when he first debuted.

After getting the three of them, Lin Xiaozhi's smile was even stronger. Jackie Chan's expression changed, and he also saw it in his eyes, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

It's not that he hasn't considered cooperating with Jackie Chan, but most of the movies he has shot in recent years are different from Jackie Chan's style, and the director's desire to control also makes him subconsciously reluctant to work with more 'picky' actors, so even after helping to revise the script of "Hurricane Rescue" and having the idea of letting Jackie Chan be the leading actor, he never thought about making this movie himself.

Of course, the days are still very long, and the Hong Kong film circle is not big, especially the acting skills and skills are first-class artists, there are actually so many of them, I can't say that they will really have a chance to cooperate in the future!
