    "Bah, bang, bang, bang!" Warm applause erupted in the spacious screening room.  "It's great. It's an absolute classic. I believe that when it is released, this film will definitely create a huge wave. I'm looking forward to it." Makuro raised his thumbs to Wu Yusen and others and praised without hesitation.  .  Everyone in the screening room was cheering and celebrating each other. Just now they all saw a very classic movie. They all believed that as long as this movie is released, it will definitely make a sensation in Hong Kong because it is really great.  ""A Better Tomorrow", a movie that everyone has been working on for several months, has finally successfully completed all post-production today.  Lin Yongqi arranged this internal test screening of the company. It was also the first time for him to see the finished film. At this time, he was as excited as everyone else.  After watching this movie, he knew that what Su Mucheng once said has come true. This is a classic.  Wu Yusen, who was sitting in the front row, was the most excited among these people. At this time, he was slumped in the chair, his two slightly pale hands tightly holding the armrests, and the backs of his hands were so hard due to excessive exertion.  The veins were exposed, looking so ferocious.  He was extremely excited and relieved, and it was difficult to express his emotions in words.  Although it was only an internal test screening within the company, the excitement and happiness on everyone¡¯s faces were not false. Everyone recognized the movie and believed it would be a success.  Taking a deep breath, Wu Yusen finally regained his composure, and expressed his gratitude to Mu Cheng beside him with sincerity and excitement in his eyes.  Although he filmed the film and did the post-editing and other tasks, if Makaki hadn't invited him to direct, none of this would have happened.  Mu Cheng smiled and patted Wu Yusen on the shoulder. He could understand the other person's feelings at this time.  Wait until everyone calms down a little.  Makuro stood up and looked at everyone in the room, "This movie that we have worked hard on for several months has finally come to the final test. I won't say much about the movie, since everyone has already seen it.  Now I hope that everyone will work together to fight the final battle so that we can achieve the final and most perfect harvest. " "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely arrange all matters for the subsequent release." Several relevant departments of the company.  The supervisor also assured loudly.  "Okay, then everyone will go down first. We will have a meeting to discuss specific matters in half an hour." Mu Cheng nodded to a few people, and then said to Lin Yongqi next to him: "Uncle Qi, the film will be sent for review first. As for the release,  We'll discuss the schedule later. "Okay, no problem." Lin Yongqi nodded in response, then greeted everyone and walked out of the room to prepare for the meeting later.  Mu Cheng turned around and looked at the haggard Wu Yusen and said: "Brother Sen, thank you for your hard work. You should go home and rest for a few days, so that you can spend time with your sister-in-law and children. You will be very tired during this period. In the later period, you will not know how tired you are.  The company will make arrangements for the release, so don't worry." Wu Yusen nodded. This period is indeed not easy, especially during the post-production period. He basically stayed in the production department.  How could he ever leave? Now that the movie is finished and the test results are good, he needs to take a good rest, otherwise his body will really not be able to bear it anymore.  After talking to Wu Yusen, Mu Cheng said to Hu Dawei and the Pioneer Special Effects people: "It's been a hard time for us. Let's go back and have a good rest. Our cooperation this time is very pleasant, and we look forward to it."  Our next cooperation. " "Thank you, Director Su. We all believe that this movie will be a hit at the box office. Congratulations." Several people also congratulated Makiro politely and left the room directly.  The meeting in the afternoon was mainly about the next promotion and release schedule of the film. In order to adjust the schedule of each theater chain, it was finally scheduled to premiere on April 11th and be released in Hong Kong on the 12th.  As for the release cycle and the number of theaters, it is left to the relevant departments of the company to negotiate. Miracle Cinemas does not have a big problem. Golden Harvest and Princess Jin believe that as long as the box office is good by then, they will also increase the number of theaters and theaters.  Time.  Huihuang Company is now in full operation. The filming of "Love" directed by Du Qifeng and "The Story of a Mad Man" directed by Er Dongsheng has begun. Makuro's own "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also confirmed to be released on April 7, which is the Golden Age.  The filming officially started the day after the award. As long as these movies go smoothly and the schedule is arranged properly, in the next half year, Huihuang Company will have at least one movie released every month.  For Huihuang Company, this year will be a busy and fruitful year.  After the meeting, Makuro sat quietly in the office, recalling in his mind some of the special effects shots from "A Better Tomorrow" that he had watched before, and also thinking about the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" that he was about to start filming.  The special effects in "A Chinese Ghost Story" are much better than the hero himself.In other words, it will be more and more important. This is not a simple matter.  It is a pity that Hong Kong movies have always been on the fringe in the large circle of computer special effects. Many movie stunts are completed by traditional means, and the use of high technology is still daunted.  Of course, traditional special effects and stunts are great if they are used well. However, as the times progress and technology develops, some special effects scenes cannot be solved by traditional means, and computer technology is needed to complete them.  Last year, Mucheng acquired and established Pioneer Special Effects Company, hoping to master advanced computer technology first and then combine it with outstanding local traditional methods to bring new developments and breakthroughs to future film shootings.  When the company was established, Mu Cheng directly invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to recruit people and purchase equipment, so that the technical staff could concentrate on the research and development of special effects.  Moreover, those tens of millions are only the first capital injection. In the following time, capital injections will continue one after another. This expenditure will be a huge expense.  Fortunately, Makujo has the capital and confidence, otherwise who would be willing to spend so much money on special effects research that looks like a bottomless pit.  After thinking for a while, Mu Cheng simply picked up the phone and called Zhu Jiaxing directly to inquire about the company's research results during this period.  The two chatted for more than half an hour, and Mu Cheng also learned about the situation of Pioneer Company during this period. It can be said that it has made rapid progress.  When Mucheng fully acquired Pioneer and injected a large amount of capital, this was a very important starting point.  Zhu Jiaxing followed the instructions of Mucheng, waving banknotes and recruiting people everywhere. And this was not limited to Hong Kong, but all over the world, and he got some more advanced equipment through his care.  With this two-pronged approach, professional researchers continue to grow, and the company's future is bright.  After the New Year, Zhu Jiaxing made a special trip to the United States, found a lot of film special effects producers through headhunting companies, and spent a lot of money to invite them back.  The luckiest thing was that he accidentally met a technical talent named Charlie who was a professional computer special effects developer. He was a mixed-race Chinese, and he had assembled a small team and was preparing to set up a studio. When Zhu Jiaxing learned about it, he was overjoyed.  He personally paid a visit and used abundant funds and unparalleled sincerity to bring back the other party and his small team.  This computer technical talent named Charlie is a Chinese-American mixed race. He was born in California. He studied film special effects and served as the deputy team leader in a research group of Hao Hao's famous Industrial Light and Magic special effects company.  Due to some special reasons, I left Industrial Light & Magic.  He is passionate about the production and development of computer special effects. After leaving Industrial Light and Magic, he worked in many film companies in post-production special effects work.  However, he was not very happy working in those companies, because the United States seemed harmonious on the surface, but secretly there was serious racial discrimination, so he came up with the idea of ????building a team by himself to set up an independent studio.  Because he had been troubled by the problem of capital investment, he was looking for investors everywhere. It happened that Zhu Jiaxing arrived in the United States, and after learning the news through some channels, he approached the investor.  With the addition of Charlie¡¯s team and the original staff of Pioneer Special Effects Company, Pioneer Special Effects Company is now in a strong position and has a good development momentum.  The only disadvantage is that the money is spent too fast, and now there is not much money left in the initial investment of Makaki.  To this, Makujo did not hesitate to inject a generous amount of funds again, and only asked the other party to do their best to research and achieve a technical breakthrough as soon as possible.  The special effects industry is indeed a money-burning industry. Fortunately, the funds on Makucheng's hand are sufficient in the short term. Think about how wise it was to choose installment payments when acquiring Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Otherwise, Makucheng would have to fight for money now.  Worried about the problem.
