Director Lin thought about it and combined with the image of "Li Xiaolong", he chose the script "The First Drop of Blood".
As for the script "Legend of Li Xiaolong", I will be put on it again and again.
He wants everyone to know that "Li Xiaolong" can not only be a generation of elegant masters, but also a tough guy!
The first drop of blood is a popular film in the 1980s. There are four movies in total, each with a global box office of 100 million to 200 million US dollars, shaping Stallone's image as a tough guy in the West.
Now Director Lin is shamelessly using it for himself, preparing to create the tough guy image of Li Xiaolong in the East.
The content of the first part of the film is like this: The veteran Rambo returned from Vietnam and South, and he returned to the old town that seemed unfamiliar. When the local sheriff saw this veteran, he began to pick on Rambo at first sight, and even took him back to the police station to insult him wantonly. After he could not bear the beating, Rambo attacked the police and then ran away.
The sheriff summoned a large number of policemen and National Guard soldiers to pursue Rambo. Rambo fled to the wild mountains and forests, and constantly used the guerrilla tactics he mastered in the Vietnam War to counterattack the police. He robbed a weapon transport vehicle and returned to the town to burn the shops. Neither the law nor the weapons could stop Rambo.
The chief colonel of Rambo appeared during the Vietnam War and persuaded Rambo to put down his guns. The long-resentful Rambo shouted out his confusion and unwillingness...
According to memory, after Director Lin wrote down the script, he calculated that the movie would require at least 10 or 20 million US dollars to complete.
In other words, it costs more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
In the 1970s, a movie with a box office of 10 to 20 million yuan was already amazing. If it were more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a movie, it would probably be a loss. Even Shaw Brothers would not dare to do this.
But in the West, there are not so many concerns, and Chinese-language films are really much behind the West.
In fact, "Li Xiaolong" is working on a stepping stone to enter Hollywood by making Chinese-language movies. However, it is not enough that only his movies enter Hollywood and enter the sight of Westerners.
Only when Chinese-language movies are focused on the West can Chinese-language movies completely gain a foothold in Hollywood.
However, today's Chinese-language movies are still too weak, and only director Lin and Li Xiaolong's reputation can be enjoyed in the West.
Next, Director Lin began to direct, edit and act "The First Drop of Blood". This movie has a lot of investment and is also very troublesome, requiring many modern weapons, as well as props such as helicopters.
Moreover, the shooting location was obviously inappropriate in Hong Kong Island, so Director Lin came to the mainland, but the script of the film was only needed to be changed.
To shape the image of the People's Liberation Army, "Li Xiaolong" will become a retired veteran of the People's Liberation Army.
Director Lin directly asked Run Run Shaw to repay him with a favor, so that Old Man Shao could use his relationship in the mainland, which brought great convenience to him for filming.
After several months, the first part of "The First Drop of Blood" was announced to be completed.
After post-editing and a series of publicity, the film was officially released. It was the end of 1975, and it happened to be the New Year holiday.
As soon as this movie was released, it immediately became popular all over the world. The fans of "Li Xiaolong" rose wildly regardless of national boundaries!
The West has also begun to become interested in Eastern culture, military, tough guys, etc. and learn about them.
In the next few years, Director Lin Da successively released the second, third and fourth parts of "The First Blood", each with a crazy box office of 100 million to 200 million US dollars worldwide.
In addition, he also owned the "Transformers" series and became popular all over the world for a while.
When time came to 1983 and had already entered the 1980s, Li Xiaolong was already a world-class emperor superstar. The "Zhenfan Guoji Museum", "Li Xiaolong Sports Products", "Li Xiaolong Restaurant", "Transformers", etc., which had the image of Li Xiaolong, were already popular all over the world.
The simple process is all expected by Director Lin Da. The three words "Li Xiaolong" are originally a living sign. Coupled with his cross-century vision and shameless plagiarism, so...
At this time, Director Lin had already set his sights on the movie "Titanic".
"Titanic" was a romantic love disaster film jointly invested by 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures, and premiered in Tokyo on November 1, 1997.
The film is set in the 1912 Titanic cruise ship, which sank the iceberg when its virgin set sail. It describes two people in different classes - the poor painter Jack and the noble girl Ruth, who abandoned worldly prejudice and fell in love. In the end, Jack gave up his life opportunity to Ruth.
The film was released worldwide for more than US$1.8 billion. It is a movie that has been difficult to surpass in the box office until 2010 after a century, and has won many awards.
Of course, the investment in this movie is also very huge, requiring US$100 million or 200 million, which is converted into Hong Kong dollars, and it costs 100 million or 200 million!
Nowadays, even if Hong Kong Island overlord Shaw Brothers and Jiahe are tied together, they cannot be photographed.
With the wealth of director Lin Da, if you want to shoot this video, you also need to prepare for it.
When Director Lin put his targets on Hollywood blockbusters, he looked back and saw that the Hong Kong film and television industry was still the same. Except for his word "Li Xiaolong" that can be enjoyed in Hollywood, it is still difficult for Chinese movies to enter the sight of Hollywood and Westerners!
Even Director Lin is a little helpless. He can't force all countries to like Chinese-language movies of this era. Chinese-language movies still have a long way to go.
This discovery made Director Lin stop his pace. "Li Xiaolong" is already a world-class emperor superstar, and Jeet Kune Do has also begun to become popular all over the world. The first and third volunteers have been realized.
On the contrary, the second choice was that Chinese-language movies really entered Hollywood, but there was no progress at all.
Therefore, Director Lin is preparing to temporarily put down "Titanic", turn around, and teach Hong Kong Island movies.
"Where do we start?" Director Lin murmured to himself, and asked Lin Zhengying and B-Zai to learn more about the situation in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
"Brother Long!" Lin Zhengying, as director Lin Da, is naturally at any time, and the two are busy with the "Transformers" series.
When "Brother Long" spent a lot of money to shoot the film "Transformers", he immediately launched the "Transformers" series toys, which were popular all over the world and made a lot of money every day.
Although all these operations and operations are done by professional talents, Lin Zhengying and B-Zai also need to be watched.
Nowadays, both of them are busy and famous. Outsiders know that most of the matters of "Li Xiaolong" are left to the two to supervise. (To be continued)
