Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 771 "Jurassic Park" (Subscribe)
"Hong, will "Jurassic Park" really be the box office champion in the Xiangjiang market this year as you said?"

"This should be a certainty. You don't know how much this movie cost? For the realistic special effects, it directly cost more than 2 million U.S. dollars. This money is used to shoot the big productions of Hong Kong movies, which is enough to shoot more than a dozen movies. gone."

"Yes, just because your novel was made into a movie by Hollywood for the first time is a good gimmick, and now the novel "Jurassic Park" is still selling well!"

"Hehe, actually the reason I wrote this novel was because I wanted to adapt it into a movie. It's a pity that I didn't get to shoot this movie myself."

"That's because you have been busy all the time. I heard that the filming time of this film is half a year, and more time is spent on post-processing. Only those who concentrate on it can make a good film..."

……

Zhao Hong and Li Meiren were chatting in the office about the movie "Jurassic Park", which was released in Xiangjiang and even the world recently. Once this movie was released, it caused a craze for dinosaurs. Originally, after Zhao Hong's novel came out, dinosaurs became a little famous creature .

But compared with what it is now, it is nothing compared to what it is now. The spread of audiovisual effects is much faster and more effective.

This movie can be regarded as being released simultaneously all over the world, at the same time, which has never happened before. In the past, it was also a movie that was released simultaneously. In fact, it was a few days or even a week slower overseas.

But this movie does not have it. In other countries in the world except the United States, there are DreamWorks theaters. It should not be too simple to synchronize.

In just one week, it became popular all over the world. In the United States, it directly achieved an astonishing result of [-] million US dollars. The box office in other places added up to [-] million US dollars, which means that it cut [-] million in just one week. box office in dollars.

In Xiangjiang, there is no one who can win. The big-nosed movies are all beaten up and down. The box office in Hong Kong in a week is 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is the first film to receive more than 2000 million views in the first three days of Xiangjiang. This new record has directly stunned many filmmakers.

A little shocked.

This is the first time that an American film has shown its power in Xiangjiang. It used to be the existence of being hanged, but this time it is really different.

Not to mention the plot, the visual effects made many people feel what a real commercial film is.

In the past, Xiangjiang's special effects were also among the best in Southeast Asia, but compared with the special effects in this movie, they are really nothing.

In fact, Xiangjiang's special effects are also very good. For example, the special effects of "Jurassic Park" were mostly produced by DreamWorks special effects company.

But there is currently a strange circle in Xiangjiang, that is, they would rather invite big-name stars than work hard on special effects.

In Xiangjiang Special Effects Company, it is actually world-class, but the concept of shooting movies has not been updated.

At present, the mainstream directors of Xiangjiang are still those directors of the older generation with relatively outdated ideas. What they pursue is that big productions are big stars, famous directors, and big scenes.

At present, Xiangjiang DreamWorks spends the most on special effects. Whether it is a TV series or a movie, as long as special effects can be used, they will be used without reservation.

This has led to DreamWorks' special effects company being able to update and develop new products without losing money, which is beyond the reach of other special effects companies.

Zhao Hong watched "Jurassic Park" in the cinema, and she couldn't believe it was made by her company.

Now he can proudly say that his special effects company is world-class.

This is the result of his hard work for nearly ten years. After ten years, the special effects company has added more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in addition to the money he earned and continued to invest.

The effect of this is to dig out high-quality talents all over the world, purchase patents all over the world, and spend huge sums of money on research and development in the field of special effects. It can be said that the product update speed of DreamWorks Special Effects Company has reached a yearly replacement.

After the release of "Jurassic Park", some filmmakers in Xiangjiang immediately began to sing bad words. There is a very interesting film review.

"Only after watching "Jurassic Park" did I realize the gap between Xiangjiang Films and Hollywood. I estimate that the difference is at least a century. This is an industrial blockbuster accumulated by industry."

"What I want to say here is that Xiangjiang Films can go to hell, because the horn of Hollywood has already been lit here. In the past, Xiangjiang Films could rely on poor information to play with the memes that just came out of Hollywood, but now the information The transformation is accelerating, and doing it like this will only make Xiangjiang movies look ugly..."

When Zhao Hong saw such a serious movie review, she just wanted to give him a big blow.

Can't you see that this was made by DreamWorks special effects company?

Do not!
He saw it!
It's just pretending not to be seen for the sake of popularity.

There are also some people who kneel for a long time and cannot stand up.

In Xiangjiang, there are some people like this. They pretend to be superior and think they are elites. They don’t watch Xiangjiang movies, or they just watch and write a lot of film reviews, with the purpose of belittling them.

They usually watch Hollywood movies. After Anle Cinemas was acquired by DreamWorks, they also undertook the distribution of western films. In the past few years, there are such a group of people who have a soft spot for western films.

Whether it is a bad movie or a blockbuster movie, every one does not fall behind.

Zhao Hong can only feel sad about this kind of thing!

As for why I want to release westerns, the reason is actually very simple, if you don't do it, someone will do it.

It's always better to do it yourself than someone else.

For example, for Hollywood movies, the screening cycle in Hong Kong is at most one month. After this time, even if they can still earn box office, they will be released.

To a certain extent, this can restrain Hollywood movies from getting high box office.

"Honey, I can only stay in Xiangjiang for two days. It's really a pity. I really want to stay longer!"

"Marceau, it's okay. After you've been busy for a while, you will come to Xiangjiang for vacation. I will spend time with you."

"Really?"

"That's still false. This time, I'll take you directly to the mainland for a tour, to see the desert scenery of Huaguo."

"That's great, I've wanted to take a look for a long time, and I really want to understand the mystery."

……

Zhao Hong sent Sophie to the plane at the airport. She played Lex Murphy in the movie "Jurassic Park".

Through this movie, she became more famous all over the world. Among the current Hollywood actresses, there are not many who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Her salary has reached 1000 million U.S. dollars, which is a ceiling among the current Hollywood actresses.

I don't know how many people envy and hate her!

Many people wish they could replace it.

In their view, this is a lucky one. A French woman came to Hollywood and was favored by all kinds of top resources. This is much more ruthless than many children from artist families.

In the entertainment industry, many actors actually have relatively deep backgrounds. Everyone's popularity is not random, and many artists may create the illusion that they are ordinary families.

In fact, there are many connections in the dark.

When "Jurassic Park" set off a craze around the world, various newspapers also published their film reviews one after another.

The screenplay and performances really aren't Oscar material, but that's okay, the real stars of the film are those dinosaurs created by DreamWorks Special Effects—a modern marvel of filmmaking. ("Empire" magazine review)

In order for dinosaurs to rule the earth again, those monsters need sovereignty and intimidation, and Spielberg handles it well. ("Time" magazine review)

……

These are relatively good reviews, but of course there are still bad reviews.

Like: Totally passable kid's fantasy, it has one or two thrills and a couple of kills, but it has no poetry, no wonder, no resonant lines, no artistry,,, when the film ends , it goes extinct. ("Globe and Mail" review)

In fact, this is sour grapes. The Globe and Mail has a deep relationship with Universal Films. This time, "Jurassic Park" is a film invested by MGM Plus DreamWorks Films.

This is a strong competitor for them, and smearing is commonplace.

Zhao Hong also laughed at this.

In fact, the publicity expenses of this film are not small, directly 2000 million US dollars, this figure can face the negative publicity with malicious slander.

Zhao Hong also knows that the movie "Jurassic Park" is actually a simple story. The film mainly tells that Dr. Hammond summoned a large number of scientists to extract the genetic genes of dinosaurs by using the dinosaur blood condensed in prehistoric mosquitoes in amber. , to revive the prehistoric behemoths that have been extinct for 6500 million years, making the entire Isla Nublar a
As a result, he got his wish, and he built Nublar Island into a dinosaur park, believing that he could make a lot of money from it.Scientists, however, are worried.

The unfortunate thing happened.Although the park was managed by a computer system, it was irreparably out of control because it was sabotaged by employees.

All the dinosaurs escaped from the control area, and people fled one after another, but they couldn't escape the claws of the dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs killed each other, and people died countless times. In the end, only a few survivors survived.

Simply put, this is a disaster movie, but the visual effect of this movie is really a street away from other movies in the past.

In order to truly present the behemoths of ancient times in the film, Spielberg hired Stan Winston and Phil Tippe to make electronic dinosaurs and dynamic dinosaurs in the distant scene respectively.

Paleontologist Jack Horner oversaw the design of the dinosaurs, making them animals rather than monsters.

In addition, DreamWorks special effects company spent nearly a year, and more than 500 people worked day and night, so that the vivid dinosaurs appeared in front of everyone.

"Hong Zai, why can't you make a movie like this?"

"Yeah, you have the opportunity to shoot this kind of movie."

"I try my best, try my best..."

……

The old man and grandma followed the fashion, and the two old people watched "Jurassic Park" quietly. After returning, they were a little excited. Apart from being curious about the things in it, they also had high hopes for their grandson.

I hope he can make a movie like this too.

Zhao Hong was a little helpless. This film was actually not difficult for him. In fact, he would not lose to anyone in the use of special effects. If he had shot it, he would have done better.

But when a person is in a state of poverty, he does not have the ability to clone himself, so he can cover everything.

Up to now, he can only shoot movies for more than three months a year, which is too long for him to spend.

And the current special effects movies often use models, which is very time-consuming to shoot, which is a bit unbearable for Zhao Hong.

You must know that it took Spielberg 25 weeks to complete the filming of this film, and the post-production time is even more extraordinary.

"Hongzi, this movie is really a big hit for our company!"

"You don't know that the surrounding area is really selling like crazy. Fortunately, you reminded you before that you must prepare sufficient supplies. At present, our ships are directly filled with several ships of goods and headed to all parts of the world."

"The people in the company make an assessment that this movie can bring us direct or indirect benefits, and it will not be less than 50 billion US dollars."

The old lady couldn't hide her happiness at home. After "Jurassic Park", the company's profits will increase by at least one percentage point, which is quite difficult for the current DreamWorks size.

Especially when the movie was released, the Dinosaur Island, a small island not far from the main island of Xiangjiang, became a gold mine.

The investment of DreamWorks on this small island is about 100 billion, and it is estimated that it only takes four years to fully recover the capital, and it will be a net profit in the future.

And "Jurassic Park" can be filmed as a series, which is a steady stream of gold mines.

"Hehe, even though I expected it before the movie was released, I didn't expect it to be so good."

Zhao Hong was really a little surprised. Three weeks later, the global box office totaled more than 8 million US dollars, which is about to go towards [-] billion US dollars.

This is because the original time and space film was released in June next year. In the end, the global box office of the film exceeded one billion US dollars, but it was more than 2000 million US dollars more.

But it is different in this time and space, maybe it is going to break through 11 billion US dollars.

From here, we can see DreamWorks' powerful publicity and distribution capabilities.

Now he is very proud of cutting this novel by himself, the benefits are really too rich.

"Shall we go to Dinosaur Island again tomorrow?"

Zhao Hong looked at the old lady who was still talking and said.

"Okay, the whole family is going, I haven't relaxed for a long time."

The old lady agreed very much.

In fact, they often go to Dinosaur Island. The old lady is to check the work, while Zhao Hong is to see if there is anything to add, and try to make the design of the island as perfect as possible.
