Chapter 1039 Myth

Cheng Long has a film "Miracle" this year.

The story of a country boy who went to the city to make a career and finally helped an old woman selling flowers fulfill her wishes is remade one by one from the 1961 American film "The Strategy", with the original background in New York.

This film was written and directed by Cheng Long. It took 9 months to shoot, spent 68 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Hong Kong was only 34 million. With its strong overseas appeal, I finally made a profit, but I made a little less.

"Miracle" has a high artistic value and is considered his show-off work. In order to prove to the world: Look! I can not only fight, but I can also play art!

Jiahe was frightened. The cost of Cheng Long's filming was getting higher and higher. Now he can hold on, but sooner or later he will not be able to hold on.

Once the overseas market fails, a film may cause catastrophic losses.

But Jiahe didn't dare to reduce costs, so he could only watch Cheng Long burn money.

In the afternoon, Peninsula Hotel.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and Cheng Long were waiting at the afternoon teahouse. They didn't have to hide it now and met openly.

He Guanchang held a newspaper and read a news, saying, "Oriental Company acquired Beijing Film Studio and became a group company.

Chen Qi was promoted."

"How big is it?"

"According to their words, it is called the deputy department!"

"How big is the deputy department?"

"The highest officials in a city in the Mainland are generally the main hall. How old do you think he is?"

"Wow!"

Cheng Long went to the mainland to promote it, and also understood the twists and turns in this regard, saying, "Then Mr. Chen's power will become greater and greater. Can we also rise in the future?"

"He is quite friendly to us, hope so!"

He Guanchang took a sip of tea and said in confusion: "We and the left have been filming their own photos. Chen Qi said he wanted to cooperate with Ah Long, but he didn't move for several years. Why did he suddenly have to talk again?"

"That's a guy who can't get up early without profit. There must be something inside of the story when it comes to actively discussing cooperation. We don't have to worry about those, just make a movie." Zou Wenhuai said.

After waiting for a while, Chen Qi arrived.

"Boss Zou!"

"Boss He!"

"Along, it's been a long time since I saw you! How about the ancestor name?"

Cheng Long was about to say hello, but his face suddenly turned black. He didn't open the pot and brought up any pot! What's even more terrifying is that he had never said his son's name, but this guy could say it out loud.

The White Dragon King of Xiangjiang is not a false reputation!

Chen Qi's painting style is one place and one style. He is both popular and special in the mainland, and is strange in Hong Kong. He is free and open in the United States. He is deeply loved by people of all ethnic groups in the world. He greeted him and said with a smile:

"In recent years, Hong Kong film industry has developed healthily and the environment has been getting better and better. Our two companies have made an indelible contribution. I want to cooperate with Aaron,

Unfortunately, I haven't had time, so I made a special trip to talk about cooperation projects."

"Okay, okay! Of course I am willing, is there a script?" Cheng Long said happily.

"Not yet, I just have a prototype of the story. And this is not an entry into Hollywood, focusing on the Asian market."

"Okay! Your project is sure to be guaranteed."

Cheng Long felt a little disappointed when he heard that he was not from Hollywood, but he was not stupid, so he naturally would not refuse.

"The story is divided into two parts: ancient and modern. The ancient background is the Qin Dynasty. A general was ordered by Qin Shihuang to escort the Korean princess Yu Shu into Qin as a concubine."

"Wait! During the Qin Dynasty, North Korea was still a savage?" He Guanchang was puzzled.

"This is not important, it's a fictional background, and it's still troublesome if it's realistic. This general is unparalleled and loyal, brave and good at fighting.

A secret love with the princess - the princess took the elixir of immortality -"

Chen Qibalabala talked about it.

Based on "Myth", this movie is OK, with classic elements, but the overall level is not as classic.

Reality and ancient times interspersed back and forth, and a drama about going to India was also inserted, and the plot was very chaotic. In fact, is the biggest highlight of this kind of film, is it the fighting scenes in the past and present lives?

Of course there are some, but the one that can really grasp the audience's nerves and expectations is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!

Unfortunately, there is too little content about this part of "Myth", which ends in a hurry as soon as it climaxes, and the special effects are not very good, and the characteristics of the blockbuster are lost.

Chen Qi made some modifications to this version and emphasized: "If we want to shoot, we will shoot real blockbusters! The two best filmmakers from the two places united to compete with Hollywood and use the best special effects. What do you think?"

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang said in a close manner, "The idea is very good. How much does it cost according to your standards?"

"Conservatively estimated, it's more than $30 million!"

puff!

The two of them wanted to beat him up, but are you playing with us? Cheng Long was also shocked, but then he became extremely excited. He was not afraid of big things, and the bigger he became, the more excited he became.

"Mr. Chen, what you said is too outrageous. Even if you add Hong Kong box office, mainland box office, and overseas copyright, you may not be able to get the money back. Please ask Gao Ming, maybe others are willing to cooperate."

"More than 30 million US dollars is only more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and with Aaron's strength, there is no problem. You are still 68 million Hong Kong dollars in filming "Miracle". Is that a little short of it?"

"The risk is too great, we can't afford it!"

After a few words, Chen Qi saw that they disagree, so he took a sip of tea slowly and said, "It's absolutely affordable. Why should I set up a North Korean princess? I just want to cooperate with South Korea and let them invest together. Aaron has a very good market there, and their film dealers are definitely willing to pay.

I will also find American film manufacturers to invest, and we will share the game with each other. You won’t have the courage to do this, right?”

"this-"

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at each other. If the cost is shared, you can really give it a try.

In fact, Jiahe has ambitions and even invested $12 million to participate in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but that was aimed at the American market. The drama Chen Qi said can only be used in the Asian market at first hearing, and the cost is very high.

The two agreed.

"Along, do you still remember the tomb robbery story I told before?"

"Of course I remember! Hong Jinbao and I waited every day and every night, and you didn't come to see us." Cheng Long complained.

"Practice "Myth" first, and it will definitely be filmed later. The mainland market is open sooner or later. We cannot always make small fuss. We must have blockbusters that belong to Chinese-language movies!"

Everyone agreed with this.

No matter what they are, they are considered courageous and enterprising people in the film industry.

After seeing Jiahe, Chen Qi went back and discussed with Fu Qi.

The two of them wrote a report together and handed it to the capital for approval. Whether the "Myth" can be formed is another political factor behind it: China and South Korea have not yet established diplomatic relations, and diplomatic relations were established in 1992.

However, the two sides were already interested and had acquiesced to some exchanges between the people.

For example, in the late 1980s, Korean companies began to invest in Shandong because, like Hong Kong, South Korea has to transfer labor-intensive industries outward.

The current president, Lu Taiyu, is from Changqing, Jinan. He was born in the Jiaohe Lu family. The Lu family originated from the Jiang surname and is a descendant of Jiang Taigong. Later, he went to Shandong to recognize his ancestors and established the World Lu family clan conference, which was also very magical.

From the perspective of movies, Hong Kong and South Korea have frequent exchanges, and many crews have taken scenes in South Korea. However, the scale of "Myth" will be particularly large and the cooperation will be closer.

It will definitely not be filmed this year, and will be launched next year, and will be released in the year after tomorrow or the year after tomorrow, and will catch up with the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea.

So the two believed that Beijing would agree, and would even vigorously promote this film in China. This is another trick that Chen Qi is best at, adapting to the trend of the times, taking advantage of the situation, and reflecting value.

If the movie "Myth" is done, another TV series will be created and continued, it will be the one made by Hu Ge.

In addition to Korean film manufacturers, there are also American film manufacturers. Who are American film manufacturers?
