Chapter 734 Shaping Zombie Daoist

From the mouths of Lin Zhengying and B, Lin Yang has a specific understanding of the current Hong Kong film and television industry.

No matter how much director Lin is at the forefront of the world, his "First Blood" series and "Transformers" series are both popular all over the world, so he rarely pays attention to the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Lin Zhengying and B’s relatives and friends are both in Hong Kong and are all in the film and television industry, so they know more in detail.

Nowadays, in the Hong Kong film and television industry, except for the three words "Li Xiaolong", Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and New Art City are three-legged.

Shaw Brothers is the old overlord of the Hong Kong film and television industry, but has turned most of its energy from the big screen to the small screen.

The filming of "Shanghai Bund" and TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that were just released this year caused a great sensation in Hong Kong Island. However, Shaw Brothers seemed a little weak on the big screen.

Jiahe has "Bruce Lee" as the pillar of the big screen. In fact, the film and television company of "Bruce Lee" is no longer comparable to Jiahe.

Nowadays, Jiahe is dominated by Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, who has changed his name to Yuanlong, and has achieved remarkable results on the big screen.

Xinyi City was founded in September 1980 by Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian. It is affiliated to Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd. and is supported by the real estate consortium "Kowloon Jianye".

The "Best Partner" and the "Happy Ghost" series also achieved considerable results.

Except for Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Xinyi City, the rest are small film and television companies, and there is nothing outstanding about it.

However, even Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Xinyi City are tied together, and they are not the opponent of Director Lin Da. The three words "Li Xiaolong" are not only in Hong Kong Island, but also in the whole world, and they are also the superstars of the emperor.

With director Lin Da’s ability to make money around the world, Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, and Xinyi City said they can only kneel down.

In their eyes, fortunately, "Li Xiaolong" has devoted most of its energy to Hollywood, otherwise the Hong Kong film industry would be swept by "Li Xiaolong".

Even if Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Xinyi City control the film market in Hong Kong, most theaters in Hong Kong are controlled by the three companies, but they cannot stop the pace of "Li Xiaolong".

Not to mention that Union Film Company is already affiliated with Jiahe’s name. It can be released in theaters controlled by Jiahe, which is Shaw Brothers and New Art City. If you dare say that you will not let the movie "Li Xiaolong" be screened, fans of "Long Brother" can drown you!

The three words "Li Xiaolong" have no idea of ​​influence!

What's more, with the wealth of "Li Xiaolong", it is also very easy to acquire scattered theaters, or invest in theaters, and then integrate one theater.

In fact, they also envy the movie "Li Xiaolong". Their popularity and money-making ability around the world cannot compare... Whether it is the filming cost of the "First Blood" series or the "Transformers" series, the shooting cost is calculated in tens of millions of dollars, which is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, Jiahe has a broad vision and has already learned from "Li Xiaolong". He has made "Jackie Chan" movies in high cost and pushed them to Hollywood. However, his grades are average and he is incomparable to "Li Xiaolong" movies.

But after all, what I made was US dollars, and Jiahe still made a small profit.

...

After learning about the situation in the Hong Kong film and television industry from Lin Zhengying and B-Zai, Director Lin also had a headache. How should he drive Chinese-language movies?

With his ability, he shot popular movies in Hong Kong. That was a matter of minutes, but it could not allow Chinese-language movies to go global.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yang looked at his left and right hands, Lin Zhengying, and suddenly had an idea.

This zombie Taoist Priest, who later starred in the zombie movie, was popular in Hong Kong Island and the mainland.

In this case, why not portray this "Uncle Jiu" as a zombie Taoist priest who is popular all over the world?

Although it is very difficult, it is worth a try. In this way, "Uncle Jiu" and the zombies in Eastern culture can go to the world. In this way, in addition to him, "Li Xiaolong", there are other Chinese-language movies that have been accepted by Hollywood and world audiences.

"Brother Long?" Lin Zhengying was a little furious when director Lin saw it and couldn't help but scream.

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Aying, I'm going to write a script for you. You can put the matter at hand and start work soon!"

Director Lin Da’s speed of writing scripts is naturally very fast, so he is planning to write the scripts out today and start work tomorrow.

Lin Zhengying was shocked when he heard this. "Brother Long" wanted to write a script for him?

In recent years, the scripts written by "Brother Long" in the "First Blood" series and "Transformers" series have been popular all over the world, so he naturally would not doubt "Brother Long"'s ability to write scripts.

However, with Lin Zhengying and B Zai's current status, as the right-hand players of "Li Xiaolong", they are already very comparable. They are enough to do behind-the-scenes work and have never thought about becoming a movie star.

"Brother Long" suddenly wanted to write a script for him. What's the matter with this?

Seeing Lin Zhengying's surprised look, B-Zai beside him was also confused. Lin Yang smiled and said, "Go and prepare first! Leave the matter at hand to B-Zai be handled first, and the script will come out tomorrow."

Lin Zhengying and B-Zai are busy with the "King of Heart Change" series. Director Lin, the hand-off manager, naturally knew about it. After following the instructions, he started writing scripts for Lin Zhengying.

Lin Zhengying and B-Zai left in confusion, saying that they could not keep up with the rhythm of "Brother Long" and could only act on orders.

Director Lin buried his head in writing a script for Lin Zhengying, which is not only a zombie film, but also a combination of Eastern and Western styles, not only to sell the top spot in Hong Kong, but also to promote it to the world.

Before the 1980s, Hong Kong ghost movies and thrillers were rare, and zombie movies were even more forgotten themes. There were occasionally a few, which were just simple works that imitated Western vampire movies and were not sold very much.

Even Shaw Film Company, the overlord of the Hong Kong film and television industry who was in the limelight at the time, also fell into a zombie film.

Speaking of which, this is also related to "Li Xiaolong".

Back then, the movies "Li Xiaolong" of "Dragon and Tiger Fight" and "The Game of Death" made hundreds of millions of dollars in the Western market, making Old Man Shao red.

In 1974, not long after Director Lin arrived, Shao Yifu was ambitious and wanted to enter the overseas market.

Shaw Brothers Film Company invited a British director to film a movie "Seven Golden Corpse" that combines Western blood-sucking zombies and the legend of "Xiangxi Corpse".

Shaw Brothers launched a strong publicity, but due to the weird style of the film, there were too many mixed things in the film, and the audience in the East and West could not accept it. The box office was defeated in the end.

Shaw Brothers lost a lot of money at that time and suffered a big loss!

So, in the years since then, no one dared to touch zombie movies on Hong Kong.
