Pi Long actually came to visit. Cheng Long has been very close to DreamWorks recently. He celebrated the successful screening of DreamWorks' "Tomb Raider" in Hong Kong. He was very polite to Mak Chengxiong and praised the special effects of this film. Before production, "Ah Xiong, Digital Realm Company is indeed a first-class special effects company. I didn't expect the effects to be so great. By the way, I heard that you will release a new movie soon. It will star Arnold Schwarzenegger." The film. I wonder when it will start showing in Hong Kong?"
"True Lies" will be released in Hong Kong tomorrow. Everyone who cares about movies knows this news. Mak Chengxiong didn't believe that Cheng Long didn't know about this. It seemed that he had other purposes this time. He smiled and said to Cheng Long : "That's right, we have recently prepared a new movie, "True Lies", which will be released in Hong Kong tomorrow. Why is Big Brother also interested in this movie?"
Cheng Long smiled and continued: "By the way, I heard that a movie was recently introduced to the mainland, and the box office was very good. Is it this movie?"
Mai Chengxiong nodded. Cheng Long suddenly became concerned about DreamWorks' films. Is there any new news from Weihe or Jiahe? Also, Mak Sing-hsiung has been busy filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" recently, and has not paid attention to the movements of other companies, so he doesn't know much about the latest developments of Hong Kong film companies. I guess Wu Yusen should know better. Mak Sing-hsiung Decided to ask Wu Yusen later.
"Ah Xiong, don't worry too much. In fact, I came here just to tell you that we will have a movie released tomorrow, which will coincide with your DreamWorks. You haven't appeared in the film industry recently. So I came here to inform you. Don't worry too much." Cheng Long said with a smile.
Cheng Long said that this film should be his new film. Mak Chengxiong knew nothing about it. He didn't know when Cheng Long would film a new film. He asked with interest: "Oh, when did Brother film his new film?" , I wonder what type it is about?¡±
It turns out that the film "Eagle Project" that Cheng Long co-produced with Warner last year was very successful. () has achieved impressive box office results in Hong Kong and around the world. It has a very good reputation in North America and has entered the North American market. Therefore, Golden Harvest Company continued its efforts. As soon as the New Year passed this year, Cheng Long led the team and went to Africa again to film a movie. The new action film "Who Am I" is only designed and completed by Jiahe Company itself. The special effects production was not completed in the digital field. Even Liang Qiu and the other three people did not know about it, so their actions this time were very secretive. Only now does everyone know.
I didn¡¯t expect Jiahe to move so quickly. They also know how to take advantage of victory and pursue victory. In this way, Mak Seng-hsiung has done them a big favor. Cheng Long has also officially embarked on the road of commercial films. In this "Who Am I", Mak Seng-hsiung also left a very deep impression. Historically, Cheng Lung was released in the same year, and his performance in the film is impressive. It has been very popular in Hong Kong for several consecutive years, and has beaten the works of several box office stars from other companies. It seems that Golden Harvest is very confident this time. The reason why they dare to choose to compete with DreamWorks' new film is that their production must be very successful this time.
No wonder Cheng Long would come to the door. It turns out that Bu Wenhuai and Mak Chengxiong played a game of courtesy first and then attack. But Mak Chengxiong is not so anxious. It is not sure who will win this box office competition. All the films this time can be called It is a big production, and even Hollywood is only of this scale. Especially for Hong Kong, the overall quality of "True Lies" is slightly higher, but Cheng Long is already a famous box office superstar, and his box office appeal is very high in Asia. Arnold is no stranger to everyone in Asia. Although the box office of "Terminator" is not very high and the box office in North America is mediocre, it was well received when it was released in Hong Kong. It was just played in TVB's Midnight Theater some time ago, which also promoted TVB Got a lot of ratings. So this time it can be considered evenly matched.
Jiahe also changed its past habits this time. They invested a huge amount of money in this production. Although the special effects production was shown as a small company, it was actually produced by Industrial Light and Magic, and they also contacted the Academy in North America. Online screening, not Huamei Cinema. In this way, their purpose is already obvious. They also want to take an international route, so they cannot rely too much on Mak Chengxiong, otherwise it will restrict the pace of their development. This time they are This film is a pioneer.
"By the way, Ah Xiong, it will be screened tomorrow. () It seems that you have not prepared for the screening. It just so happens that there is a screening for my new film. I wonder if you will give me the honor to attend then?" Cheng Long said with some guilt. The idea was decided by Jiahe Company. Bu Wenhuai also signaled to Cheng Long that he hoped that Mai Chengxiong would be able to attend this screening. Although Mai Chengxiong was of great help to Jiahe Company and Cheng Long, for the future development of the company, . This time they had to do it as a last resort. Enhance your reputation by competing with DreamWorks.
"Ah, that's it, thenOkay, I haven't really shown up in recent times. I think everyone has forgotten about me. It just so happens that I will attend the screening tomorrow and see my old friends again. I will attend on time, Mak Cheng-hsiung. I happily agreed.
After Cheng Long left, people at DreamWorks also knew his purpose. When they thought of Jiahe's actions, everyone was very dissatisfied. Zou Wenhuai could not shake off the label of ungratefulness this time. Mak Chengxiong actually agreed to attend tomorrow's screening. , which made everyone else puzzled.
Mai Chengxiong also has his own plans
Guang, he didn't leave the office until he got off work to ask for forgiveness, which is also Mai Chengxiong's usual style. Although everyone was worried, he had a more confident smile. Mai Chengxiong actually decided to explode this time. This is a big deal. For a big event, a gold medal screenwriter takes action, who dares to compete?
The screenwriting team and director team are also very busy. After Mak Cheng-hsiung decided on the shooting plan, they began to prepare their own new film. Wu Yusen and Xu Ke are both used to creating their own creations. Chen Xunqi and Liu Weiqiang also joined the screenwriting team. Discuss the script together.
The screening held by Golden Harvest was very grand. This screening was first created by Mak Cheng-hsiung and is now widely used by other companies. Almost every company's major productions will hold a screening. Not only is Mak Sing-hung's script highly appreciated by his peers in Hong Kong, he also has endless publicity methods that everyone wants to learn from. Now there is almost no new activity from DreamWorks, and similar activities will appear in Hong Kong soon. Mak Sing-hsiung and DreamWorks Now he has firmly become a leader in the Hong Kong film industry.
Golden Harvest Company has always been the largest film production company in Hong Kong, and their relationship is even more extensive. The screening venue was already crowded with people. When Mak Chengxiong and Weng Meiling arrived, the parking spaces in the parking lot were already full. There was a long line of people parked on the roadside, and after finally finding a relatively remote place to stop, Mak Chengxiong walked back to the venue.
Weng Meiling was already surrounded by reporters and colleagues in the industry. Everyone greeted her and asked for news about Mai Chengxiong. At this time, after seeing Mai Chengxiong coming, they consciously made way for him.
"Ah Xiong, it's been a long time no see. Welcome. You are here to attend our screening this time. Our Jiahe faces suddenly brightened up." Bu Wenhuai said to Mai Chengxiong with a smile.
Reporters were surrounding the place at this time. The flashlights were flashing constantly, and the focus was on Mai Chengxiong. Mai Chengxiong has been too low-key recently. Although there are many reports about him, they are all because of "The Condor". "The Heroes" became popular.
Mak Sing-hung is now a movie tycoon in Hong Kong. Although he is not a box office star, as long as his name is written on the screenwriter, he will be no worse than any box office star. Not only that, several films produced by Hollywood Digital Domain Company have high-definition pictures. , the high-end special effects made Hong Kong movie fans burst into cheers. Mak Sing-hsiung's earlier film "The Love of Ghosts" has become a love classic. No one has broken through it so far. It is famous all over the world. After that, it has become famous in many fields. He has produced many action movies and has conquered movie fans around the world.
"By the way, Mr. Mak Cheng-hsiung, I heard that your DreamWorks will also screen a new movie today, and it will be written by you, directed by Cameron, and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The lineup of this movie is very special. Strong, but Golden Harvest's new film "Who Am I" released today also has an equally strong lineup. Everyone knows that Mak Cheng-hsiung is a prophet. I wonder which film you think will win at the box office this time?"
A female reporter quickly found an opportunity. Squeezing to Mai Chengxiong's side, he took advantage of his body to get around Mai Chengxiong. He didn't take Weng Meiling seriously at all, and looked at Mai Chengxiong with sly eyes. He asked a sentence that contained many traps.
Although this reporter did not mention the word about the box office war, he had already hidden the smoke between the lines. This question was very pointed. Neither Mak Chengxiong nor Bu Wenhuai spoke, although they both looked at this reporter. The reporter is as beautiful as a flower, but in her heart she is sizing up the other person¡¯s opinion.
Zou Wenhuai laughed loudly and said nothing. He gave up his position and let Mai Chengxiong appear in front of everyone. Bu Wenhuai, an old fox, wanted to hear Mai Chengxiong's thoughts. There were so many concerned reporters, so he didn't need to. It's best if you can hear something if it hurts your mind. "I can answer this question for you. I believe even the boss of Golden Harvest will think the same. In fact, this time you have already released a statement about the box office war between DreamWorks and Golden Harvest, but I think this is not true. Well, that¡¯s not accurate at all. As we all know, Hong Kong¡¯s film market has now set its sights on the global market, so we should also set our sights further. Hong Kong is also very important, but Golden Harvest and DreamWorks both have their own theater chains. , naturally there is no competition, each showing their own films, this should be a grand event for fans of action movies, as everyone knowsThe achievements of Hehe Company in action movies are obvious to all, so I am also very interested in this film and came here to study it. I would like to thank the boss of the department for giving me this opportunity. I think I should enter the scene immediately, otherwise my There will be no seats. "Mai Chengxiong simply did a Tai Chi, making noises in the east and west without expressing his thoughts. He ignored the reporters' questions and strode into the venue.
Mak Cheng-hsiung's answer disappointed everyone, not only the editors, but also the bosses of the surrounding companies. They were even more anxious that the two big companies would be at odds with each other. It would be best if they could fight to the point of death, so that they Only then will there be more opportunities.
Bu Wenhuai, an old fox, gave more sophisticated answers than Mai Chengxiong. He answered all the reporters' questions, but the answers were as cotton-like as cotton, which made it impossible for reporters to get to the ground. However, this did not trouble these reporters. Just now The photo of Mak Cheng-hsiung and Bu Wenhuai shaking hands will be tomorrow's front page headline, and the title will naturally be: Showdown of giants.
