Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 234

During this period in 1979, the post-production level of Xiangjiang films can be said to be very average.

At this time, RB is the best place to do special effects in Asia, because they have the leading special effects technology in Asia.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to go to RB to do post-production, because this movie doesn't need special effects yet,
But this does not mean that Lin Daoqiu doesn't care about special effects technology.

The birth of special effects technology will raise movies to a new level in the next few decades.

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to make a sci-fi or special effects movie now, the money it would cost would be unimaginable.

So he can only honestly shoot action movies first. As for special effects movies, he will have to wait at least several years.

Although this drama does not have exaggerated special effects, Lin Daoqiu is still very confident in "Mission Impossible".

In addition to the wonderful fighting, the use of high technology in the play will also become a highlight of this play.

In one month, Lin Daoqiu participated in most of the post-production process.

Starting from the rough cut, this "Mission Impossible" has been watched by him no less than a hundred times.

When the final film came out, Lin Daoqiu made up his mind not to work so hard in the future, because it was really tiring.

On the day of the screening, Run Run Shaw invited Karls, who is in charge of Warner Bros. in Asia.

"Mr. Shao, it seems that you have high expectations for this movie."

In order for Warner to help promote it vigorously, Run Run Shaw naturally wanted Karls to have a sneak peek.

"I don't count what I said, but I believe that Mr. Kars will have a more intuitive judgment after reading it later."

In fact, Carls already knew that Shaw had invested 800 million US dollars to make a movie, and he was very curious at that time.

Because judging from the amount of this investment, it is absolutely impossible to recover the cost in Xiangjiang, so Run Run Shaw's goal should be to aim at Hollywood.

But from the beginning to the end, Kars has never heard of any Hollywood company involved in the production of this film, so this is a pure Xiangjiang film.

It is said that this is still a movie with a female protagonist, which made Karls not optimistic about the prospects of this movie from the beginning.

Because now, in any country with a developed film industry in the world, all films are dominated by male actors.

Run Run Shaw did the opposite this time, making Kars feel that he was a little too confident.

It was only because of Run Run Shaw's favor that Kars came to the appointment.

"This is Lin Daoqiu, the screenwriter of this play."

At this time Run Run Shaw suddenly introduced Lin Daoqiu to Kars who was walking towards them.

"Lin Daoqiu? Is that the filmmaker who broke the box office record of Xiangjiang movies?"

As Warner's head in Asia, Kars is naturally keeping an eye on the trends in the film markets in various regions.

This Lin Daoqiu can be said to have become famous in this year, because the movies and TV series he shot were very successful.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lin. In fact, I have heard your name since I knew it."

Kars smiled and shook hands with Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Carls is too polite, my reputation is not worth mentioning at all."

Lin Daoqiu shook his hand.

Lin Daoqiu didn't have much thought about the head of Warner Bros. Asia.

After all, in the end, the movie still depends on the quality. If you can't attract the audience, it's useless to have a good relationship with him.

"Then let's watch and talk."

In Shaw's post-production company, there are several small screening halls, and the facilities here are better than cinemas.

In fact, until now, Run Run Shaw has not seen the finished film, but he invited Kars because of his trust in Lin Daoqiu.

"This film has such a large investment, Mr. Lin is planning to get it released in Hollywood?"

At the beginning of the movie, Kars chatted with Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Carls is right. The investment scale of this film is considered the top production scale in Asia, so I want to get Hollywood to test the waters."

Test the waters?Hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Kars immediately showed a very strange expression on his face.

It's surprising that they spent so much money and made a movie just to get Hollywood to test the waters.

At this time, the staff next to him had dimmed the lights, and the movie officially started.

In fact, until now Kars didn't know what kind of movie "Mission Impossible" was.

And when the subtitles appeared in Paris, he realized that the film had been filmed in Paris.

At first, Kars didn't feel anything special when Brigitte Lin appeared.

In his eyes, this is a standard oriental beauty, and he has no other thoughts.

After that, the development of the plot was far beyond Karl's expectation.

After a fierce firefight, Lin Qingxia blew up a wall with two tiny explosives.

Then he fled to the top floor, and escaped smoothly by holding the gun. Kars was stunned during the whole process.

At this time, the subtitles of "Mission Impossible" just jumped out, and this was just the beginning.

Although it is not enough to say the word shock, it has greatly exceeded Kars' expectations.

He originally thought that what Lin Daoqiu was shooting was the kind of slow-motion kung fu movie, where you and I hit each other back and forth.

But Brigitte Brigitte's kung fu on screen is completely different from those comedy kung fu in Hong Kong now.

There is no such thing as punching and palming. Brigitte Lin basically used joint skills or beautiful leg skills when dealing with enemies.

"Is this a Xiangjiang movie?"

Kars couldn't believe that Xiangjiang's films had reached this level.

"Yes, but Mr. Carls, this is just the beginning, it can only be regarded as an appetizer."

Lin Daoqiu said something slowly beside him.

"Is this just an appetizer?"

Kars couldn't imagine that such a scene could only be regarded as an appetizer, what would happen after that?What's the dinner like.

"Mr. Carls will know it after reading it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to tell the other party too much. After all, the most annoying thing about spoilers is to let him watch it by himself.

Kars could only nod his head, and then turned his attention back to the movie.

Speeding cars, high-tech, big explosions, and crashed sports cars, Kars can be said to be watching from the beginning to the end.

He was not very optimistic about the prospect of this drama before, but now he has completely put away this idea.

"Although I don't know if this movie will be popular in Hollywood, but I think this movie is very exciting and should have a good box office."

From the perspective of an audience, Kars gave his own views.

And what kind of box office the film will get when it is finally released in Hollywood, Karls can't make an accurate prediction.
