One thing to say is that at the current stage of Hong Kong film and television, except for the big projects pursued by the owners of Zhao Films, even 100 Years Pictures and Debao rarely make such big moves.

None of the Ip Man series has such great special effects!

As for Wanted? That is a series of projects under Zhao Films.

How to film the Taiping Wheel? As a professional special effects director, Lan Naicai actually read the script and reviewed the history, and gave his opinion. It is necessary to build a very large reservoir studio to facilitate hundreds or even thousands of people when a disaster occurs.

People show the stages of falling into water, survival and rescue in the studio.

Then, it would be best to have a one-to-one model of the Taiping Wheel and the Jianyuan Wheel that collided with it and sank.

The Western version of the Titanic was a behemoth with a displacement of 46,000 tons. In 1912, it basically represented the limit of the world's ability to build large ships.

So when the filming started, a huge amount of money was spent on building the ship model, which cost more than 100 million U.S. dollars. The Taiping was much smaller, with a displacement of 2,489 tons. The Jianyuan ship that collided with it and sank was also carrying 2,700 tons at the time of the accident.

Coal wood.

From the displacement tonnage, we know that building models of the Taiping Wheel and Jianyuan Wheel will be many times cheaper than the Titanic. But no matter how cheap it is, you still have to spend tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

They even went to the mainland to place an order for two ships of the same tonnage. They did not want new ships, but converted old ships into Taiping ships and Jianyuan ships. When necessary, they would really drive them on the waters around Zhoushan for filming...

…

With abundant investment funds, even if Wu Yusen has not yet come up with the final script, the project that should be launched has already started.

It’s like a project hosted by Zhu She Lao Wu. In the end, the script was not released, but he went to the northwest to repair the landforms near the ancient city of Loulan, and then went to the Three Kingdoms Water Margin Film and Television City to build an underground city that is convenient for filming. Negotiations have also begun.

.

Once we've negotiated, we'll fix it together.

As for why an underground city was built near the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City?

On the surface, to show the iconic landforms near the ancient city of Loulan, it is definitely most suitable to go to the local area to shoot, but really enter the underground city? For the convenience of shooting, it is all underground anyway, so building one near the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City involves the entire crew.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation will be much more convenient.

Just like in the future, when you shoot various major scenes on the surface, you need some surface features of the prairie, but the scenes in the underground palace are all shot at the Huairou Film and Television Base.

Knowing that the production of the script was not going smoothly, Zhou Xingxing didn't ask any more questions. After all, he asked too many questions, as if he was deliberately trying to find out about the disagreements between the two great directors.

But road shows can really drive box office growth. This is something he still wants to imitate. "I think it's time to arrange a wave, although I don't care if a city suddenly has millions more box office sales."

"But the big movie is taking advantage of the trend to promote my Tang Dynasty Catering Group. The beef balls that explode and pee in the movie are now produced in countless warehouses, and they are just waiting for them to become popular after the movie is released."

"Awen, is it not convenient for you to come and sing at my road show next month?"

At these words, Ye Qianwen was stunned, "Does movies promote food?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded, "Yes, in the movie, after the chairman of a listed group that I played for the first time went bankrupt, he relied on mechanized and industrialized production of explosive beef balls, and then re-entered convenience stores, selling normal ham sausages.

Instant noodles have risen like that and are back on the market."

"In reality, there are several beef ball production lines in the ham sausage factory, which is very suitable. It is also a good choice to have beef balls when eating hot pot."

"I have already made an agreement with Sister Xian's Good Luck Lai hotpot chain. After the movie is released, my factory will become one of the suppliers of Good Luck Lai."

"Brother Long's beef cattle and mutton sheep can steadily provide good luck with fat beef rolls and fat lamb rolls. I can do that too."

Beef balls themselves are one of the most common snacks in Hong Kong. There are many brands...of course there are many brands. The oldest one is the Wang family’s old signature in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but a big movie promoted a Tang Dynasty brand.

The beef balls are quite tasty.

This is really like developing a new product for the ham sausage factory when conceiving a movie script.

Ye Qianwen was confused for a while, then nodded, "Of course, I would be honored if you personally invited me, Mr. Xing."

………………

October arrived as scheduled and it was released. From the very beginning, it showed a sweeping and overwhelming trend of dominance. All the films that were originally earning a good daily income were reduced rapidly.

Even the topic was suddenly destroyed.

Zhou Xingxing, who has laid the foundation for many previous works, has such appeal as the king of comedy at this stage that, at least in Greater China, there are almost no serious opponents.

The most terrifying thing is that at the mainland ticket warehouse, the single-day box office has directly increased to over 70 million yuan. On September 30th, Sunday plus the National Day, the 30th will start at midnight instead of waiting until 8 o'clock.

It opened with a box office of 149 million yuan in two days. It dropped back to more than 30 million yuan on Tuesday the 2nd, but it increased to more than 70 million yuan on Wednesday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it reached 258 million yuan in four days.

Hong Kong Haowan also exceeded HK$30 million in four days!

All added up, it’s equivalent to HK$300 million for four days.

At this stage, the media really wants to praise the star of last week and praise him to the sky, and Liang Jiahui's abbot has once again become popular. The label attribute of "the abbot is a small-minded person" has almost made countless people laugh.

pain.

Jiahui has proved with facts that even if he is not as good as Ah Xing, who is dubbed the King of Comedy, in terms of nonsensical comedy style, he will not be knocked down when he plays with Ah Xing.

How many people are so good at matching nonsense comedy that they don't fall behind?

In the past, everyone only thought that there were Wu Mengda and Chen Baixiang, but now there is Brother Jiahui.

In contrast, Yuan Jieying, who wore make-up to look ugly, has gained a lot of praise from countless media people, who are all praising Yuan Jieying's acting skills, which has improved in stages.

The contrast between the double-knife turkey with big buck teeth and a scar across his cheek when he first appeared, and the long-haired fairy image in the end is really huge.

Chen Huilong? It can only be said that after her popularity in the music industry soared, she made her initial debut in the film industry, allowing countless people to get to know this rich second-generation beauty again.

When sweeping across East and Southeast Asia, Zhao Donghuai was sitting in the ATV office, reading a comic...

After looking at it, Wang Zuxian came over and said, "Hey, you actually read this kind of comic? Slam Dunk? Or the Japanese version? I never see you playing basketball."

Zhao Donghuai flipped through a few more pages and said with a smile, "Are you not immersed in sign language anymore?"

Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, "I haven't broken my skills because of your opposition. Anyway, I break my skills every day. Once in a while, I can relax and let me see."

After she snatched the copy of Slam Dunk, Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and said to Qiu Shuzhen, "Contact the comic author and ask him if he is willing to come to Hong Kong Island for development."

Azhen took a look at it and said, "It looks like a painting, right?"

She doesn't really like to read basketball comics, and they don't seem very interesting to her. Playing basketball is just for fun.

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Just give it a try. You can ask the people below to tell the original author that Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball was serialized in the island country. When it was published, it was a total show of excitement. He signed it under Zhao's Comics and came to Hong Kong Island. He

After a while, he is now one of the best-selling comic book writers in Asia."

"If his career is not going well, he can come to Hong Kong Island and try to change his career."

Toriyama Akira was signed under the Zhao family, which happened when Zhao Donghuai went to Tokyo to shoot in 1984. Dragon Ball had just been published that year, and there was no plot about joining the Tenkaichi Budokai in the early stage, so the performance was really mediocre.

Both sales and attention in the market are average. It was only from the time of the World No. 1 Budokai that comics took off completely.

In Jump magazine's 1990 issue 42, the comic was published at 11:00, and its initial performance was mediocre. It continued to be serialized before it took off.

Not only did sales soar, it even turned basketball into the most popular sport.

Therefore, if the comic book author now joins the comic department of Zhao's company, he can really rise like Akira Toriyama...

Azhen smiled and said, "Then what if he doesn't want to join the comics department?"

Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "If you don't want to, forget it."

At this stage, if before Slam Dunk was published, he had thought of finding a gunman to do it, it wouldn't matter, but he missed it...

It doesn't matter if you don't want to pass on Zhao's work, you won't have to do anything more for the sake of being a comic book author.

To Zhao Donghuai's surprise, he received a response one day later. A certain cartoonist was willing to switch to Zhao's Comics Department, but he just hoped to get more concert tickets... He hoped to get more signed photos and group photos of King Li Ming and Sakai Izumi.

.

He also bluntly said that when creating Slam Dunk, Haruko Akagi was created based on Izumi Sakai. Since the broadcast started in May, Izumi Sakai was still an amateur player and was accepted as a disciple by the Asian King Arong. He has become a huge fan of this new island nation.

Idol.

In addition to Sakai Izumi, he has many idols, such as Brother A Rong, Brother Hua, Brother A Lun, including Cheng Long, etc., but at this stage, his number one idol is Li Ming!!

Because the movie starring Li Ming is so popular in the island country at this stage, it is so popular, like a roc soaring thousands of miles away, that the entire island country needs a prosecutor like "Jiang Yang" to deliver justice for everyone.

We also need heroes like Hou Guiping!

As long as his little wish can come true...

Even if Jump Magazine does not release the copyright, he can come to Hong Kong Island and re-draw a new version of Slam Dunk, and the prefectural Xiangbei High School can be changed to a certain high school on Hong Kong Island or a certain high school in the province at will.

He expected that he would later draw various major leagues and so on, which could be changed to the Hong Kong Haowan League at any time.

The protagonists can be a group of Chinese teenagers, and occasionally one or two Japanese will be added.

Anyway, Slam Dunk has just been serialized in the first issue on Jump, and you need to know that the original trajectory was from October 1990 to 1996. The final championship was when Sakuragi Hanamichi defeated the previous two champions in the island country national competition.

.

The general direction of the story is nothing more than a basketball league, winning the game, the characters of the protagonist team and supporting team, etc. At this stage, it is just a vague setting. If you want to change anything, it is completely late.

For Izumi Sakai's signature photos, group photos, etc., the 23-year-old manga artist Inoue is still very flexible in his ethics.

Knowing this, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "In this case, you send someone to contact the magazine to buy the copyright. Just buy it at the normal price. Whether you need to modify it after buying it, we will talk about it later."

If you are a cartoon about the national football team...

Zhao Donghuai is too embarrassed to promote, but the men’s basketball team is fine.

Even though Dayao is only 10 years old this year, there are still strong people before him.
To be continued...
