"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" caused such a big stir when it was released just now. () I didn¡¯t expect it from Tou Lian, but it was quickly regarded as a talking point by everyone. Therefore, in recent days, the streets and alleys of Hong Kong have naturally been indispensable for discussions about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Mak Sing-hsiung. It is a pity that this There are so few episodes that only one can be played every day. There will be no more on Thursday, but there are some clips about the filming. All the stars appeared together, there are many interesting things, and it is also a feast for everyone's eyes.
But this time, the real winner is none other than TVB. Since the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the ratings have soared, breaking through to a new high in the past two years. Almost ordinary people will watch it when the time comes. Locked in TVB because there is only one episode of the TV series. Therefore, everyone cherishes it very much and wishes to read every scene carefully. The business of the bookstore is also booming, because the plot filmed by Mak Cheng-hsiung this time is almost the same as the original work, and many people have not bought it back to watch it again.
What makes everyone even more boastful is the special effects in this TV series, which are the most exciting in the fights. Jin Yong's fantasy was finally brought to the screen by Mak Chengxiong this time, as if it really existed. The most rare thing is that every scene Each actor has been carefully selected, so no matter which version of the TV series is available, it cannot be compared with this version. Even a named character actor may be a big shot that everyone is familiar with, so everyone regards Mak Chengxiong as a mouth-watering actor. Diao believes it is the final interpretation of Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and many people have pointed out and commented on this TV series.
Media reporters will not miss the good show. Recently, they have been reporting on this TV series one after another, and they have also reprinted many famous film reviews, praising this version of "The Condor" as a representative work of Hong Kong TV series, and attracting many comments. The audience watches.
At the same time, there is another major event happening at DreamWorks, that is, Yang Ziqiong's new film "Tomb Raider" shot last year has also been released in Hong Kong. However, Mak Sing-hsiung's filming task is very heavy, so he has no time to take care of it and leaves the publicity to it. Among others, Yang Ziqiong also participated.
"Yang Ziqiong once again shot a movie that was well received abroad, and she is a Hong Kong actor. This time she has really been accepted by Hong Kong movie fans. Therefore, on the day of the release, all the major theaters in the Dream Cinema chain were crowded and it was difficult to get a ticket. Everyone came here because they saw the image of Yang Ziqiong on the promotional poster.
"Tomb Raider" is an exciting adventure film. At the beginning of the film, Yang Ziqiong fights with a machine. The shots are hot and exciting. Yang Ziqiong's figure is even hotter and sexy. Against the background of this steel monster, it is even more There is a sense of abnormal contrast, just like Beauty and the Beast, which immediately attracted cheers from the cinema. This film is also the most exciting film with special effects technology on the screen. The fights are hot and exciting, and the stunts are even more fake. How can we not make people shout that it is wonderful? Although the plot is still a bit thin, this does not prevent everyone from enjoying it. In particular, this film also caused a viewing frenzy in Hollywood last year. As Hong Kong people, we were even more proud and donated money one after another.
The filming progress of the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew has also been greatly accelerated because the actors have already joined the cast. And the film crew became familiar with the rhythm of filming. Shooting started in three studios at the same time, which made Mak Chengxiong very tired. Sometimes he had to run to three places in a day. Fortunately, they were not far away, otherwise his body would have been exhausted.
The efficiency of the special effects production team has also been greatly accelerated. There are two experts, Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong, in charge. All kinds of special effects are easy to produce.
The most tiring part at this time is the soundtrack team, which is full of talented people. Although Xu Ke did not personally participate in the filming, he sent over all the capable people he had. This is worth mentioning. The film has a soundtrack. Many of the timeless classic songs in Hong Kong film and television are from them. Famous ones such as Huang Zhan, Wang Songling and others. Because of the rush of filming and the need to rush for playback, the later soundtrack is a very heavy task. For a TV series, The quality of the background music has a lot to do with it, so experts from Xu Ke Studio, DreamWorks, and TVB¡¯s soundtracks came together and divided into several groups to score different dramas. He is a leader in Hong Kong film and television soundtracks. Although the time is rushed, there are still many classics produced by them, which makes the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" even more icing on the cake. This will make the other four TV stations miserable. The production of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was originally slow, and Mak Cheng-hsiung could not control the rhythm of filming the series. This will definitely affect the ratings, which Chengxiang's huge popularity has helped them. Now the media and public opinion are all about the shadow of Shendiao, which is so huge that it is dizzying. There is no one else but me. Therefore, their ratings dropped suddenly, and TVB launched more programs about Mak Sing-hsiung's crew to keep the ratings unchanged.
This time Mak Cheng-hsiungIt¡¯s great. The mainstream entertainment market in Hong Kong is movies and television. This time, because ¡°The Legend of the Condor Heroes¡± and ¡°Tomb Raider¡± were released at the same time, it immediately attracted the attention of the audience. Because of the two-pronged approach, some movie fans who originally did not like watching TV series began to pay attention to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". On the contrary, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also brought many fans to the movie "Tomb Raider". The two-pronged approach , complement each other. Mak Sing-hsiung really had a moment of glory this time, dominating Hong Kong's mainstream entertainment.
It¡¯s not just Hong Kong people who are staring at Mak Sing-hung this time. People in other places were also staring at Mai Chengxiong. Film producers and exhibitors in Southeast Asia and Asia have already known about the film "Tomb Raider" for a long time. After making a splash in Hollywood, Yang Ziqiong has become the most popular Asian female star in North America, and she is also an unforgettable actress. Asian countries are flocking to this box-office star who is underestimated.
¡°At the same time, in the mainland, there is also a pair of eyes staring at Mak Cheng-hsiung, and of course it is the central government. () Recently, the economic situation in Hong Kong has not been optimistic. Although it is still one of the four little dragons in Asia, the British naturally do not want mainland China to take over a prosperous and stable Hong Kong. They have intentionally or unintentionally tolerated some saboteurs and scattered Spreading rumors makes Hong Kong society uneasy. Moreover, criminal elements are becoming more rampant. At this time, senior officials in the mainland of the motherland are worried, because there are still ten years before they can accept it. At this time, they cannot intervene in this matter, so they have to pass some measures to deal with it. People with huge influence in Hong Kong serve as their propaganda tools.
There is a saying that "what you want to take must be given first." Although they had cooperated with Mak Chengxiong once, it was a pity that they were not very happy in the end. So this time, in order to win Mak Chengxiong's support, they decided to cooperate with DreamWorks first. Have a good relationship, and then proceed step by step, in this way you can win the favor of Mak Sing-hsiung. Moreover, in recent times, Hong Kong movies have also been directed at the mainland. There have been many bad scenes, which have made Hong Kong people more worried. There was a hint of cloud, so people from Yindu quickly approached DreamWorks. However, Mak Chengxiong was not in the company, and he was currently busy with filming and was dizzy.
Audiences in coastal areas of Guangdong and other places are also talking about it now, because it is relatively close to Shenzhen, Japan and France, but only separated by a sea. The signal of the TV station can also be received by Tongliao's external antenna, so watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a daily priority for these viewers. They can't wait to skip a meal without missing out on the wonderful drama.
Of course there are government officials among these viewers. Their reaction quickly reached the ears of local television stations and broadcasting bureaus, including people familiar with the matter. The Guangdong Broadcasting Bureau immediately decided to send people to Hong Kong to discuss the introduction of this TV series.
The Guangdong Broadcasting Bureau is very active this time. Because they have already tasted the benefits, although there is no ratings problem in the mainland, first-come-first-served, they introduced many TV series, and later after their dubbing. When transferred to other places, a lot of funds will be obtained.
People from the Guangdong Broadcasting Bureau are destined to leave empty-handed this time, because Mak Cheng-hsiung's series is not even half-finished yet. However, they have also received positive news from TVB, which is also a big gain.
Naturally, the National Broadcasting Administration could not follow behind them, and immediately sent people to contact DreamWorks to prepare for the introduction of their films in the near future, and this time in order to avoid causing discord among everyone again. The distribution method has been decided, including the box office, there will be three tiers given to DreamWorks.
When Mai Chengxiong learned the news. He was filled with emotions. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. The previous cooperation could not be regarded as a formal business cooperation, and there was no harvest at all. The final profits were given to Project Hope. I don¡¯t know about the schools in the mainland. Has it been completed? If he wasn't busy with filming right now, he would really want to take a look.
However, regarding the introduction of films into the Mainland this time, Mak Cheng-hsiung did not dare to be careless. This time is an important step for them to enter the mainland market. Directly affects the entire DreamWorks mainland plan. The mainland's entertainment market is currently sluggish. It's just that the Chinese government has too many restrictions in this area, and there are many barriers. If a film wants to enter the mainland market, it almost has to go through five barriers and defeat six generals. Therefore, this film must be able to represent their DreamWorks talent. OK.
It's a pity that DreamWorks has not produced blockbusters in recent times. It's not that there are none, but there is no DreamWorks in Hong Kong. There is one Hollywood film. "Tomb Raider" is probably difficult to pass through the levels, but it is stuck. Mellon's "True Lies" is okay. And this film is also very suitable. Reza's special effects production is also very successful, and it is also the work that best represents DreamWorks.
It happened that Cameron and the others had reached the final stage of completion, and they would have more than a week to complete it. Mak Chengxiong made up his mind that this was it, and sent someone to do it.The banks have negotiated that after the film is completed, they will use it to open the door to the mainland market.
This week is the most exciting week for Hong Kong TV viewers, because of the efforts of Mak Sing-hsiung's crew. The production team worked for days and finally completed two units of the series, which is six episodes of the TV series. In this way, you can watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" every night from Monday to Saturday.
The screening of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has also brought great changes to the lives of Hong Kong people. First of all, there are far fewer people working night shifts, because there is only one episode per day, and the filming effect this time , people applaud and praise, no one wants to miss it. This forced the bosses to actually increase their expenses. But we still couldn't find the manpower, and there were a lot of complaints about this.
The second thing is that DreamWorks has recently had great success in both television and film fields. It has also had a great impact on the entertainment life of Hong Kong people. First of all, these Hong Kong people have emerged from the shadow of politics, their negative thoughts have been reduced a lot, their work has gone smoothly, and they have a TV series as a psychological support. Even time passed much faster. Many workers talked about the plot of Condor Shooting while working. They felt as if they were drinking, feeling energetic all over and not so tired. In the words of literati, this is called spiritual food.
The box office of "Tomb Raider" in the first week was very objective, but soon it seemed that it was unable to follow up, and the attendance rate quickly fell. When Mak Chengxiong saw this data, he was also shocked. what is going on. So we quickly found Lao Wu and others.
"There is nothing we can do about this matter. After Wu Yusen and others found out, they all shook their heads and said, their expressions were a little pessimistic and a little angry.
Mak Cheng-hung paid very little attention to Hong Kong movies this year, so he didn¡¯t do much research on the box office. Is it because the continuous expansion of the TV market has affected the movie market?
"But it can't be so fast. You have to know that movies and TV have been competing for many years. Now we are still in the talent era, and Hong Kong movies have not declined yet. How could this happen? There must be a hidden secret, so Mak Cheng-hsiung believed in asking for the reason.
"What else could be the reason? It's all those young and Dangerous guys. The movies that our mainstream theaters just released online. They will record pirated videos within a week. Now Hong Kong's video halls are all over the street, and the prices are also the same. It is very cheap. Many movie fans have gone to the video hall and will naturally not come to the cinema. The box office will naturally drop suddenly. In the end, it is all the fault of pirated video tapes. Liu Weiqiang is straightforward and tells the real story of this matter. The reasons were all stated.
??????????????????????????????????????????? Mak Cheng-hsiung also had speculation in this regard, but he did not know the specific situation, and he heard that piracy should only become popular in the 1980s. He did not expect that it is already being advocated in this way.
Although this matter is not a serious matter in everyone's eyes, it is very urgent in the eyes of Mak Chengxiong. He can't help but frown. The impact of piracy on Hong Kong movies is very huge. Without government support here, it is impossible to eliminate piracy. It seems that we can only imitate Western practices. That is to improve the quality of movies and the existing equipment. In this way, we can win with quality. After developing everyone's habits, future generations will not lose so many viewers. Mak Chengxiong has already done this. That's good, at least the number of mainstream movie fans has not decreased, and judging from the box office, Hong Kong movie fans still maintain a huge number. However, this piracy cannot be allowed to continue to develop, especially after these societies realize the huge profits, they will stalk them. What's more, some people will go directly to the cinema to grab copies. It's just that the Hong Kong government has no explicit regulations on this aspect, so other methods must be used. Especially in the post-Internet era, they are all direct murderers of Hong Kong movies.
Mak Cheng-hsiung suddenly thought of Chang, and a very immature idea formed in his mind, which was aimed at the Hong Kong piracy market. Although the genuine market is huge, piracy is crazy. would be affected by a tsunami of destruction. Mak Cheng-hsiung considered whether he could distribute the benefits of the genuine edition to these societies. In this way, they would be profitable and could maintain the copyright. Of course, this is a auxiliary effect. The real way is to continue Improve the quality of your videos. , Yi Xunshu said in detail that Shan had a different body.
