Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The epic monster "Jurassic Park" is destined to crush everything in next summer's summer season, not only because this movie is so well-made but also has a special background.  The United States just overthrew the super empire, the Soviet Union, a year ago. Now it is in a period of global military deployment and no one dares to challenge it. "Jurassic Park" is also a means of exporting American culture and values ??to the outside world.  , it has gained a lot of convenience and has been widely distributed around the world.  Once it is released, almost most movies in the same period will avoid its limelight. Not only will movies with the same theme and similar types be crushed, but even other types of movies will be affected.  It is difficult not to be affected. You can only try your best to choose subjects that the audience will be interested in while watching "Jurassic Park" in order to seize the opportunity.  The new movie will be "The Mummy", which Lin Xiaozhi thought about for half a year before confirming it.  The reason for choosing to make this movie is actually very simple. Media Asia has temporarily lost the traditional Chinese foreign market of Taiwan Province, and the local box office in Hong Kong is gradually becoming saturated. It also has to face the increasing power of Golden Harvest, Yongsheng, and Golden Princess, which did not go bankrupt but was listed on the market.  The mainland market has only just opened to them, and since the market has not yet taken shape, almost all of Media Asia¡¯s profits receivable from the mainland are used for advertising and mainland market operations.  So if Media Asia wants to develop and grow, it has to rely on foreign markets.  The majority of Media Asia's current revenue comes from the European and American markets and Japan and South Korea. However, for a long time in the future, the world will still be white-centered. Traditional Chinese culture is not accepted by European and American white people, so it wants to expand in Europe and the United States.  Successfully shooting a movie with strong Chinese cultural influences is simply asking for death. Unless Media Asia's special effects capabilities are immediately improved to the point where "Journey to the West" can be made to the level of "Avatar", no amount of money will be enough to spend.  Therefore, it will be easier to succeed if you make a movie based on the preferences of European and American audiences, or to be more precise, based on the preferences that are acceptable to the general public.  That¡¯s why he decided to prepare to face the epic monster - the new movie of "Jurassic Park", and make "The Mummy"!  The special effects requirements of "The Mummy" are not too high, at least not as high as those of "Jurassic Park". Otherwise, even if Media Asia's special effects production capabilities have improved significantly in the past two years, it will still be difficult to meet the requirements. The department has high requirements for CG special effects.  High-end blockbuster production.  Egypt and China both belong to the four major civilizations in the world, but their universal acceptance in the 1990s far exceeded that of China.  Although China is one of the five permanent members, its current strength is far from being comparable to its status. Moreover, mainland China is the largest red country after the collapse of the Soviet Union, so it is often viewed with hostility and colored glasses in the international community.  Egypt is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It has become a member of the pan-European cultural circle since around the AD. From Cleopatra, who was entangled with Caesar and Antony in the Roman period; to the excavation of the pyramids led by European scholars in modern times, a large number of unearthed treasures  and precious cultural relics made Egypt an ancient country full of mystery and wonder in the eyes of Europeans in the 19th century; at the same time, Egypt¡¯s national power continued to increase after World War II, and as one of the initiators of the Non-Aligned Movement in the 1960s, coupled with its special  Its geographical location gives Egypt a wide influence around the world.  Therefore, if you shoot a movie that combines ancient Egyptian mythology, you will not have to worry about acceptance in Europe, America and even the world.  As for whether Britain really recruited Chinese soldiers from the colonial Hong Kong during World War I, it is not a problem at all. China exported a large number of laborers during World War I in history. Who can guarantee that Britain and France did not secretly send them to the front line as cannon fodder?  !  What's more, Britain did recruit a large number of soldiers from colonies such as India, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada!  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In "Plan A", which was once a hit in Japan, there were Chinese people serving as the chief superintendent of the Marine Police and Land Police.  In later American movies and TV series, you can often see movie protagonists showing off some unreliable knowledge in a serious manner. Lin Xiaozhi once clearly remembered that in two popular American TV series, there was a male protagonist with an expression of "I have knowledge".  With a proud expression, I pointed at a terracotta warrior and horse from Qin Shihuang's mausoleum that had obviously been scaled down to half the size of an arm, and a sculpture of a griffon that haunted Western legends (if I remember correctly, it should have come from a certain administrator and a certain warehouse)  ), telling the heroine nonsense that the former is a precious cultural relic unearthed from the tomb of the Mongolian Emperor Genghis Khan, and the latter is a mythical beast that has guarded treasures in China since ancient times. There are too many flaws for domestic American dramas that have stolen these two American dramas from the Internet.  Fans are powerless to complain!  The heterogeneity between different cultures means that screenwriters often just talk nonsense, and many viewers have no idea what nonsense they are talking about!  ¡­ ¡°During the New Dynasty of Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, there was a pair of childhood sweethearts in the city of Thebes, Egypt¡ªImerton and Ansuna, but because of AnsunaDue to her beauty, she was favored by the Pharaoh and selected as his queen, and with her help, Immorton became the Pharaoh's high priest. The two still maintained their relationship without telling the Pharaoh.  Finally one day, the Pharaoh noticed it, so the two of them killed the Pharaoh in panic. Unfortunately, the Pharaoh's guards rushed in immediately after hearing his screams. Immorton made a promise at Ansuna's request.  He promised to resurrect her but watched helplessly as she committed suicide and fled.  Then he secretly sneaked into Hamna Tower, the tomb of the pharaohs of all ages, and stole the Book of the Dead, which is said to have the power of Hades, in an attempt to resurrect his lover.  Unfortunately, only halfway through the ceremony, he was interrupted by the Pharaoh's guards who were chasing after him after discovering that the queen's body had been stolen. Ansuna's soul returned to the underworld, and Immorton's trusted monks were brutally made alive one by one.  He was mummified, and he suffered the most vicious punishment in the history of ancient Egypt - insect bite, a vicious punishment that according to legend would cause the soul of the tortured to be trapped in the decaying body for eternity and tortured!  Three thousand years later, as one of the soldiers recruited by the British from the colonies, Yang Lin and his comrade Hani from Hong Kong luckily survived the First World War. After the war, they did not choose to retire with most of their comrades and return to Hong Kong.  Instead of starting a new life in England, he once again joined another army sent to the semi-colonial Egypt.  Unfortunately, during a march, they accidentally broke into Hamna Tower, the capital of the dead that had been guarded by the descendants of the Pharaoh's guards for more than three thousand years. Therefore, they were attacked by the descendants of the Pharaoh's guards.  After the army suffered a disastrous defeat and he was betrayed by his comrades, Yang Lin thought he was about to die, but accidentally saved his life. He rushed into the boundless desert and barely managed to save his life after nine deaths.  Unfortunately, not long after he escaped to Cairo, he got angry and injured a pedestrian on the street because a thief stole the key he had brought from Hamna Tower, and was imprisoned.  While he was waiting for the trial to come, he did not expect that the thief who stole the key from him, Jonathan's sister Eve, discovered the mystery of the key, and then found him and asked him to take him to find Haha.  Munata.  After some bargaining, the Eve brothers and sisters successfully persuaded Yang Lin and the warden to form a team to find the legendary capital of the dead-Hamna Tower!  The group left Cairo, came to the Nile River, and crossed the Sahara Desert. They first encountered an attack by mysterious men in black on the way, and then encountered a treasure hunting team from the United States!  After going through all kinds of hardships, she finally found Hamnatta. However, when Eve was looking through the Book of the Dead that she had stolen from the Americans, she accidentally recited a spell and liberated herself from being tortured by insects for three thousand years.  The terrifying high priest who turned into a resentful demon¡ª¡ªImerton!  So, a disaster strikes!  "" Because he had already heard the general outline of the story from Lin Xiaozhi before, out of trust in him, Chow Yun-fat only flipped through the script in a hurry, closed the script and put it aside, and answered readily: "Thanks to Lin Sheng  Dear, I have no other arrangements recently to take on this movie!  "The League of Assassins, which has just finished its release in the United States, has earned all the limelight. Coupled with Miramax's promotional campaign, and the film's blatant "action innovation" banner, it was definitely a hit in the early 1990s.  The blinding "bullet special effects" and "gun fighting skills" combined with the Hong Kong-style hard-core action that American filmmakers have not yet learned, finally made it an astonishing box office of nearly 177 million U.S. dollars after being released in the United States for more than a month, almost crushing it.  Although Chow Yun-fat did not play the protagonist in this movie, compared to the dark horse prince Liu Qingyun and the heroine Hu Huizhong, the protagonist he played performed a stunning long-range sniper attack from several kilometers away at the beginning.  The father of the film has also received wide acclaim from all walks of life. This is a great improvement for Chow Yun-fat, who has almost all comedic roles since "A Better Tomorrow". He was still working in the United States not long ago.  During the promotion, his agent, who was also his wife, excitedly informed him that several American film companies had contacted her and wanted to invite him to play the third and fourth male leads in several Hollywood movies.  You must know that just before the release of "League of Assassins", Fa's sister-in-law, who was ambitious and wanted to push Fa Ge to Hollywood, took his past information and personally went to the United States to recommend it. Unfortunately, let alone the five giants in Hollywood, it was just some small and medium-sized independents.  The production company was not interested in Fa Ge, a Hong Kong superstar, and was not even willing to give him a trial role. The arrogance of American filmmakers and Fa Ge's status in Hong Kong made him feel somewhat resistant to Hollywood.  What's more, Hong Kong movies are gaining momentum now, and he can serve as the male lead in a new movie by Hong Kong's recognized best commercial director Lam Hsiao-chi. Although the plot seems to be a new genre for Lam Hsiao-chi, Chow Yun-fat still has confidence in him.  .Actually, it wasn't just him. He had just nodded in agreement when he saw the envy flashing in Jackie Chan's eyes next to him.  As one of the earliest Hong Kong action superstars to hit Hollywood, Jackie Chan has made many movies over the past decade in an attempt to start a new career in the United States. In his early years, he hired an American agent, learned American English, and even worked with American filmmakers to make films.  He gave up the male lead, but the result was that he fell again and again, and the only two times he succeeded, he was thrown into a corner. After more than ten years of busy work, he didn't even look familiar in Hollywood.  Didn't do it.  So if possible, he actually wants to cooperate with Lin Xiaozhi, a famous director who already holds the title of Asia's No. 1 commercial film director.  However, Lin Xiaozhi did not invite him, and Jackie Chan could only feel envious in his heart. After all, with his status and status in the industry today, it is difficult for him to lose face and ask others to star in a movie like he did when he first debuted.  After taking care of the three of them, Lin Xiaozhi¡¯s smile became even wider.  He also saw the change in Jackie Chan's expression, and felt secretly proud in his heart.  It's not that he hasn't considered collaborating with Jackie Chan. It's just that most of the movies he shot in recent years are different from Jackie Chan's style. At the same time, the director's need for control also made him subconsciously not want to cooperate with more 'picky' actors, so even though he originally  After helping to revise the script of "Taken" and having the idea of ??having Jackie Chan as the leading actor, he never thought about shooting the movie with his own handheld camera.  Of course, the days are still long. The Hong Kong film industry is not very big, especially the actors whose acting skills and skills are top-notch. There are only so many of them. I wonder if they will really have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!
