Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The current Spacetime Film Studio has Xu Anhua and Wang Jing as directors, but it still lacks a director with a broad vision and enough weight to take charge.  Of course Lin Jing is also a director, but her role as director is only known to herself, so she must find someone else.  In Lin Jing¡¯s heart, Wu Yusen is the most suitable candidate.  Wu Yusen is still in Jiahe, but his life in Jiahe is not good, because filming comedy is not what he wants.  However, Golden Harvest wanted to overwhelm Xinyi City, which started out as a comedy company, and launched a large number of comedy movies. Especially after the success of "Five Lucky Stars", comedy became even more popular.  In Lin Jing¡¯s memory, Wu Yusen will leave Jiahe and join Xinyi City this year.  But even if he switched to New Art City, the already extremely powerful New Art City looked down on Wu Yusen at all, so he had to continue to sink. It was not until "A Better Tomorrow" came out in 1986 that he turned around and made a big splash.  tone.  Lin Jing was not very sure about recruiting Wu Yusen, because the reason why Wu Yusen left Jiahe was largely because of Xu Ke.  ¡°Besides directing, Lin Jing¡¯s second consideration is screenwriting.  Maybe many filmmakers will be shocked when they hear that Lin Jing is going to establish a huge team of screenwriters, because in their eyes, a hundred screenwriters are not as good as Lin Jing alone.  After all, in Hong Kong, which screenwriter has written three scripts with a box office of over 20 million by himself?  No, so it is enough for Time and Space Film Studio to have Lin Jing as a screenwriter.  But the fact is.  This is just a beautiful fantasy.  Lin Jing¡¯s mind is indeed filled with a lot of scripts, a lot of good scripts.  However, if these scripts are simply copied, they will not adapt to the local environment, because the time, background, and lines of these scripts are often not suitable for this era and Hong Kong.  For example, "Taken", this movie is very good, but if it were to be moved as it is.  I'm afraid it's logistically impossible.  Because this movie has a key prop - a mobile phone. But in this era, 1983, were there mobile phones?  There is a Big Brother. Last month, Lin Jing saw Hong Xinbao using it.  What¡¯s more, Lin Jing is not satisfied with simply copying the movies of later generations. Therefore, many of these movies must first be localized and Hong Kongized in their scripts.  This kind of localization and Hong Kong adaptation requires a lot of time and rich experience.  Lin Jing, a pseudo-Hong Kong person, may be able to do it, but it will definitely cost her a lot of time, and the adaptation may have many loopholes.  With more people and greater strength, it is not unreasonable for the Three Stooges to defeat Zhuge Liang.  So Lin Jing¡¯s plan is to recruit a large number of screenwriters.  Form a team of screenwriters and train them with some screenwriting theories from later generations.  Then provide them with a script outline and provide them with "practical" training.  In the end, this screenwriting team can write their own scripts.  Scripts can be adapted.  In Hollywood film companies, there is such a screenwriting department.  Every script that comes out must be reviewed and polished by the screenwriting team.  And the final movie that the audience saw, whether it was the plot or lines, was the result of the hard work of the screenwriting team.  Hong Kong can produce many good movies every year, but more of them are bad movies, and the problems of bad movies often lie in the script. This is closely related to the fact that Hong Kong filmmakers do not pay attention to the role of screenwriters.  Lin Jing didn¡¯t want to make the same mistake again, so she promoted the establishment of the screenwriting department of Time and Space Film Studio and the recruitment of screenwriters as one of the current main tasks of Time and Space Film Studio.  The space -time film studio, which has the image of the giant, has expanded the scale, recruiting soldiers and horses, naturally the response is like a cloud.  Lin Jing got the list of applicants and found that there were great powers from later generations on it.  And the first one on the list is Liu Zhenwei.  Liu Zhenwei is currently still in Century Company, a financial company that entered the film industry after seeing the improvement in the film market. Although he has been a producer of several films and is called a producer, in fact he is not the real talker and does not have much power in his hands.  .  Moreover, Century Company has entered the film industry for more than two years, but it is still half-dead, let alone compared with film production companies like Time and Space Film Studio that have risen like a rocket and are second only to Golden Harvest and New Art City.  There are many "acquaintances" among others, but compared with Liu Zhenwei, they can only be regarded as second-rate or third-rate.  ¡­ ¡­ The buyout prices of ¡°Happy Ghost¡± and ¡°Daoma Dan¡± finally reached five million and four million respectively due to Mo Ziqi¡¯s hard work.  Of course, this buyoutThe price includes distribution rights to the videotape.  In recent years, as a large number of video recorders have entered the homes of ordinary people, video tapes have become a new profit point for film companies.  ¡° In this way, from these two movies, Time and Space Film Studio can clearly earn 19 million in profits in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  It was a big hit at the box office, so a celebration party was naturally indispensable.  So, for the sake of convenience and excitement, "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" came together and held a grand celebration banquet at the Peninsula Hotel, one of the most famous five-star hotels in Hong Kong.  In order to open up the distribution channels of Time and Space Film Studio, Mo Ziqi has been flying around recently, sometimes in Hong Kong, sometimes in Taiwan, sometimes in Singapore, and sometimes in Japan. He is as busy as a trapeze artist and is almost as busy as his feet.  Not touching the ground.  Even at the celebration banquet, there was no room for leisure. No, we were talking with the representatives sent by Shaw Brothers Company again.  The representative of the Shaw Brothers Company is Fang Yihua. As Shao Yifu retreats behind the scenes, Fang Yihua comes to the stage, and she has a vague sense of the Queen Mother of Wireless Shaw Brothers who "listens to politics behind the curtain".  Mo Ziqi got instructions from Lin Jing and was testing Shaw Brothers to see if he could win the support of Shaw Brothers Cinemas.  In the past two or three years, Shaw Brothers Film Company has made more and more movies, and the more it has suffered losses, not only has the production company lost money, but the theaters have also lost money, because the movies released are unprofitable and require a premium.  Maybe he was jealous of New Art City's big production "The Best Partner", or maybe he saw that Golden Harvest had launched the super blockbuster "New Shushan Swordsman", so Shaw Brothers gritted his teeth and invested more than 10 million to make a "precise" movie.  "Science Fiction" and "Big Production" - "Star Wars" has been billed as the Hong Kong version of "Star Wars" since filming started.  Everyone on earth knows what kind of science fiction masterpiece "Star Wars" is.  Poor "Star Wars", which is known as the Hong Kong version of "Star Wars", this "blockbuster" with the largest investment in the history of Shaw Brothers Film Company, the final box office was only more than 6 million, let alone making a profit, it could not even recover the cost.  , was forced to withdraw from theaters after just a few days of release.  During the screening, there was an embarrassing incident where the audience left the theater en masse and went to the ticket window to request a refund.  Last year, Shao Yifu, who was still trying to save Shaw Brothers Film Company, was already disheartened in film production after the blow of "Interstellar".  In particular, TVB's TV production business is booming, just like flowers cooking oil on a brocade fire, which sets off the failure and lacklusterness of Shaw Brothers Film Company.  Therefore, although it will take some time for Shaw Brothers Film Company to reduce production and finally stop production, the theater chain is empty.  For the Shaw Brothers theater chain, Time and Space Movie Studio cannot afford to buy it, but it can rent some of them.  In the future, Debao Film Company rented Shaw Brothers theaters and developed into a film production company comparable to Golden Harvest and New Art City.
