Eji's Jiahe held a screening of "Who Am I", which was regarded by everyone as a competition between Duozhou Xi Factory. Mak Chengxiong actually attended the screening, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. He and Bu Wenhuai became the focus of the audience, and almost everyone was looking for flaws between the two of them. So far, the two of them have always been very harmonious, and when watching the film, Bu Wenhuai specially arranged Mak Chengxiong to be by his side, hoping to listen. I listened to Mak Sing-hsiung's opinions and also observed Mak Sing-hsiung's reaction to the film. ()
The quality of this film is very good, and it is also the pinnacle of Cheng Long's films. The film has always been dominated by Cheng Long's style. There are endless scenes of hunting, thrills and pursuits. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the family class has become more and more mature and has formed its own style, especially Cheng Long's style. The martial arts movements designed in this film are very clean and creative. . The film opens with jumping out of a helicopter, which is thrilling and uses dazzling advanced military technology. This was also inspired by the films of DreamWorks, so this time they tried their best to find something new and refreshing for everyone, and the results were achieved. Everyone was very satisfied with the design of the film, and the audience at the screening was a frequent chat.
This film is one of Cheng Long's most desperate films. Several scenes including the fight on the rooftop of a skyscraper and the slide from the glass curtain were designed to be extremely thrilling, making the audience exclaim. The female audience members covered their eyes in fear, but they still cheered for Cheng Long.
The nearly two hours of screening time made the people here feel like they were on a roller coaster. Their heartbeats driven by the plot continued to increase. As soon as the screening ended, the entire hall was in chaos. Everyone talked about the wonderful plot with gusto. Cheng Long He and Zhou Run are the most famous box office superstars in Hong Kong, and their films are also the most popular. At the screening, Cheng Long received praise from people from all walks of life.
"Ah Xiong, you have been silent. I don't know what you think of this film, so just tell me. I don't think there is anyone more discerning than you in Hong Kong." Bu Wenhuai said to Mak Chengxiong with a smile.
Zou Wenhuai was in a very good mood. During the movie screening just now, his mind did not leave Mak Chengxiong. Although he did not know how to shoot, he knew from observing Mak Chengxiong's reaction that this film had been a success. This film Although there have been many changes from the plot in Mai Chengxiong's memory. After all, it was filmed more than ten years in advance, the novelty is very good. It coincided with Cheng Long's prime, and the fighting effect was amazing. Mai Chengxiong completely captured it. He regarded himself as an audience, appreciating Cheng Long's works from Shufeng's period, and he did not hesitate to express his expression. Even before the thrills came, he also sweated for Cheng Long on the screen.
"Haha, this film is a rare and excellent film, and it is also a representative film among Cheng Long's works. It is very good." Mak Chengxiong said with a smile, but these are his innermost thoughts.
Of course, these are not what Chou Wenhuai wants to hear. Mak Sing-hung is the boss in Hong Kong who best understands the commercial aspects of film. The scripts he writes are highly praised by everyone, and the films he shoots are even more loved by movie fans. Naturally, he will have a unique opinion. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to hear it.
At this time, Bu Wenhuai still said with some emotion: "This film is indeed an excellent film and a meticulous masterpiece by Cheng Long. It's a pity that Cheng Long's imprint is so deep in this film. His His style runs through this film, and his shadow can also be found in other films. This is a flaw. One or two films may still be successful, but if this continues for a long time, I am afraid that movie fans will be tired. It¡¯s not a good time.¡±
Bu Wenhuai is worthy of being a hero, with a sophisticated and unique vision. He can see the flaws in Cheng Long's films at a glance. Although Cheng Long's films are all wonderful and beautiful, there is a common problem, that is, his personal style is too An Lie, he was the one driving the plot. Bu Wenhuai suddenly thought of something and smiled and said to Mak Chengxiong: "But in the first time you worked together on "Baby Project", you performed very well. That movie The performance in the film was perfect. Not only was his style clearly displayed, but it was also mixed with your style. That film is also one of my favorites. It¡¯s a pity that I never saw the two of you continue to collaborate. "
Bu Wenzhun has always had a very high opinion of Mak Cheng-hsiung. Among them, "Baby Project" in his eyes is more than just a film between two people. It is also the most successful commercial film in Wenhuai's mind, and it was the film that made Jiahe successful. Suppressing the prosperous New Art City, as time goes by, Bu Wenhuai regrets more and more. At that time, he handed over the copyright to Mak Chengxiong so easily, but now he regrets it.
Mai Chengxiong smiled slightly and glanced at Cheng Long on the stage. Bu Wenhuai said frankly: "I think this is Cheng Long's movie. Without these strong styles, how could it be what it is today?"Where is Cheng Long? "
"Huh?" Bu Wenhuai has always seen Cheng Long's shortcomings. When Mai Chengxiong said this, he also had a lot of reflection. At that time, he patted Mai Chengxiong on the shoulder and laughed loudly and said: "Mai Chengxiong is Mai Chengxiong, and his perspective on problems is different from others." This sentence was obviously a compliment.
On that day, DreamWorks' Dream Cinema and Golden Harvest's cinemas both screened their respective films. Both films are wonderful urban action films. This type of film has been the audience's favorite film in the past two years, and The two films have a strong lineup and extraordinary effects, and are deeply loved by everyone. Hong Kong movie fans are enjoying the excitement and excitement brought by the films.
At the same time, there is also a very exciting topic in the audience's mind, that is, the confrontation between DreamWorks and Golden Harvest. Both companies are the fastest growing companies this year, and the film types have been in line with international standards. The style of this film is still Somewhat similar. They are all the pinnacle representative works of their works, so everyone regards this box office battle as the pinnacle showdown between the two companies.
The media are very busy. They don¡¯t have a lot of information about the two films. This introduction. At that time, movie fans were even more eager to get a detailed analysis of the two films. As a result, the media's opportunity came, and soon the reporters retrieved the information of the two films, in order to fully reflect this peak showdown. , the editors even divided the two films into several projects for comparison. Of course, these are just a reference, and the final result will still be determined by everyone's box office.
Decide at the end of the count
Jiahe Company uses DreamWorks
"Who Am I" with "True Lies"
No matter which newspaper, they all reported such a topic, as if it had already been agreed upon. Such eye-catching headlines could be seen everywhere on the front pages of the next day.
Jiahe Company is an old film company. However, the recent reorganization has been very successful, and Bu Wenhuai has once again demonstrated his talents, not only developing Jiahe from the Shaw Brothers era into a big company. And with the efforts of the past two years, Golden Harvest has become the second film company in Hong Kong to enter the international market. Their films have been known to more and more foreigners, and the company's performance has also greatly increased.
DreamWorks, a name that is familiar to everyone. It not only represents a film company, but more like a symbol, just like Westerners call ancient China "ceramics". The impression of the Dream Factory among small country people is synonymous with Hong Kong. Dream Factory's Qu Che Fu Wa represents Hong Kong cinema.
Mak Cheng-hsiung, a young and amazingly talented boss, built DreamWorks from scratch. From a small film company, it developed into a globally renowned company in just five years. , like a miracle.
"Who Am I" is a film written, directed and acted by Cheng Long, Golden Harvest's most outstanding box-office star. The film's model is also based on "Eagle Project" written by Mak Cheng-hsiung, and Cheng Long has also added many interesting features. The few exciting plots make this film more vivid and exciting, and it can be called Jiahe's most exciting film.
"True Lies" is a film directed by Cameron of Digital Domain Company. Mak Chengxiong also participated in writing the script. Both of them are very successful screenwriters and directors of commercial films, especially Cameron who has been filming since his debut. With several high-grossing films under his belt, actor Arnold has been called one of the most successful commercial directors in Hollywood. Schwarzenegger is a powerful actor. This performance exceeded everyone's expectations, changed his own style, and received huge praise. This film also represents the masterpiece of DreamWorks.
Which of the two movies is stronger or weaker?
Everyone has been eager to know the news. Early the next morning, many people appeared outside the two companies, including reporters and fans. They really couldn't tell the difference between the two films. . Although "Who Am I" is not as good as "True Lies" in terms of plot and design, the starring Cheng Long is a box office superstar in Hong Kong, and this time it is even more elaborate and has won the appreciation of the audience. In the end, everyone can only watch it The box office performance of these two films will be determined by their box office performance.
The thinking of Hong Kong movie fans and film companies has unknowingly changed a lot, because this time it is very unbalanced for DreamWorks, because Hong Kong movie fans are very resistant to foreign films, whether they are Hollywood or Bollywood 's video. The local box office in Hong Kong simply cannot compete with Hong Kong films. This time everyone actually decided the outcome of the two films through box office. In other words, in their hearts, there is no such limit, and they have accepted foreign films.
Not only them, people from both companies are anxiously waiting for the box office of the movie on release day, and the businesses of the two companies areThe department is desperately counting yesterday's box office, because the Hong Kong film market has been in a downturn recently, and there has not been such an excellent film for a long time. In addition, the nationwide campaign against piracy has been successful, so the number of viewers this time is very high. , many theaters also sold standing tickets, which further fueled the film's success.
At ten o¡¯clock in the morning, the two companies calculated the box office for the release day almost in no particular order. As soon as this figure was announced, it aroused everyone's surprise. The box office of "Who Am I" actually reached 10,000 yuan, and the box office of "True Lies" also reached 10,000 yuan. Golden Harvest Company's "I" "Who is It" actually broke the box office record for Hong Kong movies on the same day, while "True Lies" broke the record for the highest day of Western movies in Hong Kong by a huge margin.
However, considering that Hong Kong movie fans are still a little resistant to Western films, this box office is also hard-won. Therefore, although there is a big gap between the two films in terms of box office, considering the factors, the last two films are actually evenly matched. Surprisingly, no one defeated the other, which aroused everyone's greater interest. They wanted to see who of the two movies would win in the end.
The theaters of the two companies remained hot the next day. The number of viewers who came to buy movie tickets exceeded the number of seats in the cinema, and many loyal movie fans started queuing up early to wait for ticket sales. From this point of view, I want to really see the final result. We have to wait a week. After all, both films are the most popular right now, so it¡¯s impossible to tell the difference.
Weng Meiling showed the box office statistics report to Mai Chengxiong. Mai Chengxiong just took one look at it and put it down, because there was not much that could be seen in the box office report. His thoughts were the same as everyone else's. They are all waiting for the attendance rate to drop before looking at the box office numbers.
Mak Seng-hsiung has been shutting himself in his office in recent days. The papers under his hands are getting thicker and thicker. Many of them are not about scripts. These are his recent shooting plans and some about Hollywood shooting plans. Sakura is really too lazy. If Mai Chengxiong doesn't give him a good suggestion, he will probably give himself a holiday.
So after making arrangements, Mai Chengxiong will fly to the United States. Firstly, it has been a long time since he has been in the digital field, and secondly, he can arrange tasks for them in the second half of the year.
There was no knock on the door, and Mai Chengxiong's door was suddenly pushed open. It turned out that Xu Ke walked in. Xu Ke came to the table with a bitter look on his face and looked at it for a long time before taking it back. Some complained: "Why, you locked yourself here for several days, just for these things?" Mai Chengxiong organized all the plans. These are not for outsiders to see, but just for themselves. . It was just an outline. Then he looked at Xu Ke. Xu Ke was very anxious. No need to think that it must be because of the script. Mak Chengxiong smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Are you having a headache because of the script?"
Xu Ke smiled at this time and said with emotion: "The parents who gave birth to me, and the person who knows me, Mai Chengxiong, are indeed the rainbow worms in my belly. Just by looking at my face, you can tell why I am worried about something. A close friend."
Mai Chengxiong remained unmoved and continued to sort out the things on the table.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" Xu Ke saw that Mai Chengxiong didn't care. Now he became anxious. He grabbed the materials from Mai Chengxiong's hands and threw them on the table. He said dissatisfiedly: "What's the use of just writing a room-wide plan? If you don't come up with a script, what will I shoot?"
Mai Chengxiong felt it was funny and kept a straight face at this time. He said seriously: "You are Director Xu Da. Who in Hong Kong doesn't know your name? Why can't you make a film without my script, and let outsiders laugh when they hear it? Besides, when we didn't cooperate before, you Haven¡¯t you also shot so many excellent films?¡±
After Xu Ke heard what Mai Chengxiong said, he was so speechless that he couldn't say a word. At that time, he took out his killer copper, smiled and said to Mak Chengxiong: "It's different. At that time, I was filming by myself. Now you have eaten my appetite. I don't like the normal script. I I don¡¯t feel like writing is good either. Lao Wu has now come up with a script, which is expected to be released in two days, and I don¡¯t have anything yet. If you don¡¯t give me a script this time, then I will take a break. , who saw the final loss.¡±
Unexpectedly, Xu Keyou showed such a rogue look, Mak Chengxiong had no choice but to give in and said helplessly: "Okay, what's the request? I'm going to Hollywood soon. This time is just for me to think about it."
"Okay, my request is your request, as long as it is martial arts, I believe you."
