Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2202 This is the best movie
"It's hard to imagine that the screenwriter of this play is actually the famous Lin Daoqiu, that is, the well-known film tycoon Lin Daoqiu who made "Godzilla" and "1992", but even so, I still want to say that this film The play was really well done.”

A TV station specially made a special talk show for "Human Purge Project", and specially invited some directors, screenwriters and film critics to talk about their views on the show.

One of the film critics praised the film "Human Purge Project" as soon as he opened his mouth, and not only him, but also other directors and screenwriters had almost the same idea as this film critic.

"Is this movie really that good? It's an R-rated movie, and MGM was almost warning people who don't like violence to stay away from this movie when it was promoting it."

The host found it very strange. He didn't understand why those filmmakers praised this movie so much, and it could be seen that they really liked this "Human Purge Project", even if it was an R-rated movie, and Even MGM, who made the show, kept telling people it was dangerous, but they expressed their love for it anyway.

"Because the connotation of this drama is actually anti-violence, so that everyone realizes how tragic it will be for everyone once such a violent society appears. It is no exaggeration to say that "Human Purge Project" is the best movie of this year. movie of."

When ordinary people read "The Purge of Humanity", they will think that it is just killing all the time and doing everything.

But if you feel the play written by Lin Daoqiu carefully, you will find that he tells everyone in this way that he is anti-violence and anti-war.

If you only look at the surface of the movie, you may only regard this movie as a violent movie. If that is the case, it would be a pity.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu didn't want all the people who came to see this movie to be thrill-seekers, which was completely different from his original intention of making this movie.

"It seems that there are still many people who like the movie we made."

Watching the rebroadcast of the interview program on TV, Oliver Stone said with a smile.

At this time, Fang Jinsheng had already sent the box office results of "The Purge of Humanity" to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu glanced at the paper handed over by Fang Jinsheng, and then a smile appeared on his face, because the box office results on the first day of "Human Purge Project" seemed to be very good.

"1000 and [-] million box office results, this is a very good start."

Lin Daoqiu handed over the box office results to Oliver Stone, and the other party took it over and looked at it with a happy smile.

It can be said that such a film that can only be said to be a low-to-medium production in Hollywood can get a box office of 1000 to [-] million on the first day, which can be said to have greatly exceeded Oliver Stone's expectations.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of this drama is very good. Although there are many violent scenes in this drama, it actually wants to arouse people's desire for peace and the original intention of opposing violence.

"In the future, we will add more screens to "Human Purge Project". I estimate that this drama will break through at least [-] million US dollars in the end, and there will be a great sales in the video tape market."

Lin Daoqiu seldom predicts the box office of a movie, but the movie "Human Purge" can be said to be an exception.

A film box office of [-] million US dollars is nothing to Lin Daoqiu. It has been a long time since he has made a movie with less than [-] million US dollars in Hollywood.

Lin Daoqiu believes that the box office results of "007: M" this year will definitely exceed [-] million US dollars, and the remaining few films that will be released in the near future believe that the results will not be so bad.

After Lin Daoqiu took over MGM, this year will be a year of steady rise for MGM. A large number of popular and blockbuster movies will be released one after another, and they will still be profitable.

And next year, Lin Daoqiu will personally start the era of superheroes, and then MGM will be able to challenge Paramount's leading position.

I believe that the upper and lower levels of Hollywood, including MGM's internal executives, can't imagine that Lin Daoqiu only bought MGM for only two years, and he already had the capital to challenge Hollywood's current ranking in the third year. Paramount, a famous film company, if it is said now, no one will believe it will be true.

It can only be said that the rise of special effects movies has played a huge role in Lin Daoqiu's pioneering in Hollywood. Even if those Hollywood companies know that special effects movies are the trend of future movies, it is difficult for them to keep up with Lin Daoqiu's footsteps immediately.

After all, making special effects movies is a very expensive thing. Once it hits the street, it will lose at least 6000 million or more. If the investment is low, there will be no effect at all.

In addition, Lin Daoqiu has now increased the production cost of blockbuster films to over [-] million or even [-] million, which is not something ordinary film companies can afford.

Even Paramount couldn't compare the production cost with Lin Daoqiu on this, because they simply couldn't do whatever they wanted like Lin Daoqiu.

If MGM ruined a blockbuster movie, Lin Daoqiu wouldn't care at all, he could do it again several times, and no one would dare to criticize him.

But if Paramount smashed a blockbuster movie costing [-] million or even [-] million yuan, Barry Diller would be under tremendous pressure. Even if he was forced to resign as president, it would not be uncommon.

So Lin Daoqiu can do whatever he wants in making movies, he can shoot whatever he wants, spend as much as he wants, and don't need to worry about too many things at all.

On the other hand, Paramount and other companies are somewhat restrained in this regard, and they are stared at by the directors of the board of directors. There is no way to do whatever they want like Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu's threat to Paramount is not that great now, at least for now, they can bear it, and they can still maintain the seat of Hollywood's No. [-] film company.

But what Barry Diller never expected was that Lin Daoqiu was not only making great achievements in the box office of the movie at this time, but he was also planning a thing that shocked everyone, that is, Lin Daoqiu planned to acquire Columbia Pictures .

Although Lin Daoqiu doesn't know when Columbia Pictures was bought by Sony, he is certain that it should be within a year or two, because the biggest stock market crash in history will occur in the near future, and Sony is in the Lin Daoqiu bought Columbia Pictures before the stock market crash, which Lin Daoqiu is sure of.

Lin Daoqiu even felt that Sony might have started contacting Columbia Pictures, but he didn't know it yet.
