Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 545 [Golden Signboard]

In mid-June, "Resident Evil" began to be promoted in Xiangjiang, and it became very topical for a while.

Of course, this topic does not include the fact that Lin Zuhui played the role of a zombie. It must not be used for publicity, and it cannot even be made public immediately.

The real talking point is that the film has an investment of up to 1600 million U.S. dollars, which is the largest investment in Xiangjiang's history.

However, although it is very topical, the industry is unanimously optimistic that the film can recover its cost.

First of all, this is a movie where the actress will be the absolute protagonist;
Secondly, Liu Dehua does not have the appeal of Cheng Long;
In the end, the subject matter turned out to be a zombie science fiction film.

Of course, everyone was waiting to see the DreamWorks joke.

Lin Zuhui didn't care much about the box office, and didn't even pay attention to news about it.He has decided to spend [-] million privately every year, and join hands with ATV Group to shoot two to three 'big production' movies a year.

I can't say what the picture is, anyway, he just wants to do something, and feels that the memory doesn't need to be lost, it seems a bit wasteful, that's right.

As for those Hollywood blockbusters that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to invest in filming; if he had that idea, he might as well find a way to buy a Hollywood studio!

Of course, he is not very interested in making movies. The reason why he asked DreamWorks to make some blockbuster movies is because he only needs to give a simple order, and it will not take his time and energy.

But if he bought a Hollywood studio, obviously he would have to spend his time, which would be a waste of energy.Investing in a few technology companies casually, the money earned is not known how many times it is.

DreamWorks.

Lin Zuhui approached Pan Cheng and said, "You plan another action movie, the content is that a male and female killer meet in Colombia and end up as a couple, but they don't know each other's identity, and the two handsome men and beautiful women have been living a peaceful life. But life may be too peaceful, both feel that marriage is like a tomb, so that even a marriage psychologist can't solve the gap between them. Simply put, it tells the story of two killers from meeting, falling in love, and then discovering the target After the other party, a series of absurd and funny stories happened. The script is probably like this, still starring Andy Lau and Yuan Liangliang, and investing about 1500 million US dollars in a big production. It is still imitating Hollywood shooting, you can even go to Hollywood to find Similar movies for reference."

He thought there was no way to talk about it. After all, he could only remember some general content and style, but the plot of Hollywood blockbusters is simple.

Pan Cheng wrote while listening, and after he finished writing, he asked, "The funds for investment?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I'll ask ATV Group to give it to you later. You should prepare first and try to release it during the Spring Festival. Remember, I gave you the opportunity to shoot blockbuster movies. I hope your team will grow up. Don't waste the opportunity."

He thought about it carefully, but don't be in a hurry to pay for it yourself, ATV Group is not without money, why bother to pay for it yourself!
What's more, Lin Zuhui plans to let ATV invest in some stocks later, so that he can easily earn back his investment in movies.

After all, it is impossible for ATV to lose money for the long-term benefit of these movies, and there is no need to pay for it yourself.

Pan Cheng nodded seriously, and said: "Don't worry, the boss, our team is seriously learning the new shooting mode, and we will soon be familiar with Hollywood."

"Well, do it as soon as possible, and don't pay attention to the opinions of outsiders. DreamWorks is to have a dream, to be an Asian Hollywood, and the group has sufficient funds to create the gold-lettered sign of 'DreamWorks'."

Pan Cheng's spirit was shaken, and he immediately said: "You have been taught, boss, I will definitely build DreamWorks well."

Of course rich people can do whatever they want, and the mainland has already allowed Xiangjiang movies to be released. Cheng Long's "Drunken Master 2" will be released in the mainland during the Spring Festival this year. Lin Zuhui still remembers that it has a box office of tens of millions.As for overseas markets, South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Taiwan Island, etc., can all be screened, as long as you have a big cast.

Jiahe Films.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Cheng Long and others were also chatting about DreamWorks' "Resident Evil".

A few years ago, DreamWorks had Zhou Xingchi, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Runhua in their hands, and their annual box office net profits accounted for half of Xiangjiang, overwhelming Golden Harvest.Especially when Zhou Xingchi was in DreamWorks, he shot four or five movies a year, and he shot 18 movies in four years, which is simply a box office machine.Li Lianjie signed for three years, and also made nine kung fu films, and he also performed well.Chow Run Wah's several series of films have exploded at the box office.For a while, Xiangjiang Movies only watched DreamWorks performances.

However, after Zhou Xingchi and Li Lianjie's contract expired, they immediately set up their own film company.There was no conflict with DreamWorks, it was a peaceful breakup.

Unlike Cheng Long, these actors have great appeal overseas, so there is no need to become a satellite company of DreamWorks.DreamWorks' overseas releases are generally in the form of buyouts, which is simple, straightforward and hassle-free.

Zou Wenhuai said: "I thought DreamWorks was going to leave, but I didn't expect to make another big production. But the 1600 million principal, can they recover half of the cost?"

He frowned slightly, but he didn't take it lightly. He thought that Dreamworks dared to invest 1600 million US dollars, but Pan Cheng didn't have the right; even the president of ATV Group didn't have the right.Therefore, it must have been approved by Lin Zuhui.

In this way, from Lin Zuhui's perspective, he might not fail easily.

Cheng Long said: "I have seen the promotional video of DreamWorks, and I think it is very creative. In addition, they invited a Hollywood team to participate in the filming. It must be very interesting. I have to go to the premiere to see it."

The past grievances between Cheng Long and Lin Zuhui had already been laughed off, so naturally they would not say petty words.

Wrinkle Wenhuai went on to say: "There is nothing worth discussing about a movie, but Pan Cheng of DreamWorks recently publicly stated on some occasions that Xiangjiang's movies have gone downhill and will die at the end of the 90s. The impact of piracy, and the impact of piracy, coupled with the decline in its own quality. From this point of view, DreamWorks is trying to copy Hollywood, no, it is copying Hollywood!"

He Guanchang said with a smile: "What's the use of copying Hollywood. Only by breaking into Hollywood can you earn dollars. But they don't have a calling star like Jack, so they are all versatile."

Naturally, He Guanchang couldn't let go of what happened back then. Jack was his best friend, and they almost caused resentment back then.

The group couldn't discuss why, but they all undoubtedly wanted to see it as soon as possible. After all, DreamWorks was too aggressive in the past few years.Is it a resurgence now, or is it the last struggle!
