Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2176 Is Matsui here to catch the heat?
Matsui Naogami looked a bit embarrassed, Tsuburaya Gao had already said it very euphemistically, after all the difference between the two sides was nearly fifteen times the amount, and it was still in US dollars, so Matsui Naogami's idea was really nonsense.

Fortunately, he himself understood it immediately, so Yuan Gugao didn't continue talking.

Originally, Naogami Matsui thought that Tsuburaya Gao’s difficulty was in the special effects, but now it seems that Lin Daoqiuguang’s investment in the details of this drama is jaw-dropping. You must know that the investment in the model alone is already Enough for Dongbao to make a blockbuster movie.

"If that's the case, then do your best."

Matsui Naogami couldn't say anything more, "Ultraman" was just one of his blockbuster series, and besides "Ultraman", Matsui Naogami had prepared a total of [-] million US dollars this time, and planned to have a fight with Lin Daoqiu. Higher.

He felt that no matter how powerful Lin Daoqiu was, he was only a little ahead in special effects. As long as Dongbao made special effects movies, Lin Daoqiu's advantage would not become so huge.

In addition, they can find excellent local writers and screenwriters from Neon to come and help them. It is conceivable that under this kind of crowd tactics, Lin Daoqiu's advantage will be minimized.

Originally, Yuan Gugao wanted to persuade Matsui Naoami not to be so aggressive, because it was absolutely impossible for him to win against Lin Daoqiu.

But the other party's new official is getting ready to take office, so trying to persuade Matsui Naoami at this time probably won't yield any good results, so Yuan Gugao can only swallow back what he wanted to say.

Soon Matsui Naogami held a press conference, announcing that Dongbao would invest in several large-scale special effects films. Although he didn't name them to fight Lin Daoqiu, I believe anyone with a discerning eye has seen it clearly.

"Ultraman?"

Lin Daoqiu, who was preparing for the filming of "Onmyoji" at Taiqin Film Village, couldn't help laughing when he heard that Naoami Matsui was going to shoot "Ultraman".

It's not that he has any prejudice against "Ultraman". In his previous life, Lin Daoqiu had watched many "Ultraman" TV series when he was young.

But it is not so easy to put "Ultraman" on the big screen, because it can easily be made into a TV series.

If Lin Daoqiu's filming of "Godzilla" was based on Yuan Gu Gao's model, it is estimated that even if he could become popular, it would only be limited to neon, and would definitely not form any influence in the world.

But this time it was Gao Yuangu who directed "Ultraman". The other party followed him to film "Godzilla" for several years. He should not repeat the same mistakes again.

In addition, this time Matsui Naogami gave him a budget of 2000 million US dollars to film this movie, if Tsuburaya Gao didn't make a big move, he would really disappoint Matsui Naogami's trust in him.

"Matsui Naogami is quite smart, knowing that pulling out "Ultraman" to make a live-action movie will definitely attract audiences who were shocked by "Godzilla" before."

From Kiyoshi Maekawa’s point of view, Naoka Matsui’s move is really a bit of a buzzword, but “Godzilla” and “Ultraman” are both made by Tsuburaya, so it’s natural that Dongbao will have nothing to do with it. question.

"For 2000 million yuan, it is necessary to make a special film. Does Mr. Maekawa think that although it is difficult, there is still a possibility of success?"

Lin Daoqiu turned around and looked at Qian Chuanqing and asked with a smile.

Qian Chuanqing thought for a while and then nodded, and then Lin Daoqiu explained to him.

"When I filmed "Godzilla", I spent more than 1000 million dollars on those models alone. Do you think 2000 million can make "Ultraman" well?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head while talking, and then walked to the other side.

Maekawa Kiyoshi was shocked when he heard this. More than 1000 million yen could be exchanged for 30 yen and [-] billion yen in those years.

If this is the case, the filming of "Ultraman" may not cause much repercussions. It may even be because the audience has been shocked by "Godzilla" and their appetite has been fed by Lin Daoqiu. Let's see them again. If you shoot "Ultraman", you will feel that the other party's filming is very bad.

At that time, the word-of-mouth of "Ultraman" will decline rapidly, and Toho is expected to be greatly affected by this.

"If this is the case, why is Yuan Gugao willing to take over this movie? I remember that when he was filming "Godzilla", he studied with you."

Lin Daoqiu felt that the reason for Maekawa Kiyonori's question was very simple.

"If you don't try it, how will you know it won't work, and I believe that Mr. Tsuburaya would never think about surpassing "Godzilla". If he really thinks so, it will be interesting."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that "Ultraman", which was filmed for 2000 million US dollars, would have any shocking effect. After all, special effects movies are more expensive than real money.

In the details alone, it takes a lot of money to create a convincing visual effect.

With only 2000 million U.S. dollars, no matter which side the cost is spent on, it is impossible to make it perfect, so it can only shrink here and there.

As a result, the result of such shrinkage was that the final film effect was not much better, and even Lin Daoqiu was worried that Yuangu Gao's final filming would be the same as those broadcasted in "Ultraman TV".

Don't think that this is impossible. In 99, Tsuburaya Productions produced and released a live-action movie of "Ultraman: Great War".

Although it is said to be a movie, in fact, the overall look and feel is not much different from ordinary special TV series.

Therefore, unless Lin Daoqiu is responsible for the live-action of "Ultraman", it would be nonsense if someone else wants to shoot shocking effects.

After all, it is good to use special shots to supplement TV dramas and some special effects scenes, but if the overall shooting is done with special shots, it will become very fake, just like the TV dramas children watch.

"Don't worry about Dongbao's moves, at least from the current point of view, Matsui-san's hand gestures are really not very good."

Lin Daoqiu thinks that Matsui Naogami's starting point is good, but the problem is that he has a problem, that is, he is eager for success.

He spent [-] million U.S. dollars in one go to open a special effects studio, and then another [-] million U.S. dollars to shoot several blockbuster movies.

Although it is true that Dongbao has a big family and a great business, even such a family business does not allow him to toss about like this.

Once all these blockbuster films hit the street by then, it is estimated that Nao Matsui will be very unstable in the position of president.

As for making US dollars in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu thought it would be better for Matsui Naoami to dispel the idea, because it is difficult for foreigners to recognize the films made by the Neon people, especially blockbuster films.
