Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 591 Eastern and Western Special Effects

""The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" is released, and all the theaters in Hong Kong are packed"

"The Spring Festival is coming, "Fast and Furious" has launched its first shot"

He Jin read a few newspapers from other newspapers. Compared with the Xiangjiang Entertainment Newspaper, which kept criticizing Stephen Chow, the headline articles of other newspapers were almost all about "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" which was released yesterday.

This also illustrates the expectations of Xiangjiang movie fans for this movie.

After all, it is the sequel to a movie that grossed 50 million U.S. dollars at the box office in the United States. With a strong lineup, the movie will immediately attract widespread attention when it is about to be released.

Because there were film critics criticizing the movie on the spot at yesterday's premiere, He Jin was still worried about today's newspapers.

He was worried that some newspapers would report what happened at yesterday's premiere.

Now that the movie has just been released, movie fans have high expectations for the movie. If Paul's words were reported yesterday, it would definitely have an impact on the movie's box office to some extent.

But after all, Fang Cheng was a talent poached from the United States.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Xiangjiang was once world-famous for its kung fu special effects, but that was just for a while.

He made an appointment with Han Sanping to discuss cooperation while having dinner.

He Jin took a sip of red wine and said.

After getting through the phone, He Jin first expressed his approval of Fang Cheng's work.

Paper cannot contain fire. This truth is very clear to He Jin.

This villa is adjacent to the villa where He Jin and Xiao Jew live. It is very close to the villa where He Jin lives. If something happens, they can rush over quickly, which can better protect He Jin's safety.

So he didn't expect the news to be suppressed forever.

"How to say?"

When he usually goes out, he would not dare to go out without three bodyguards.

In addition, various activities created by the crew will be put on the schedule as soon as possible."

After arriving at the hotel, He Jin called Han Sanping and told him that he was here. After confirming that he was at the hotel, he took Ahu and others to the restaurant on the third floor.

Han Sanping was very interested in this topic and put down his chopsticks and looked at He Jin.

If Mr. He has something to do here in the morning, I will try my best to postpone the activities in Wan Chai until the afternoon. Then you can go directly to Wan Chai after finishing your work. What do you think?"

I watched "Jurassic Park" and it will take a long time for us to achieve that kind of technology!"

This villa is also very good, and it is currently used by him to temporarily house his bodyguards.

After they got acquainted with each other, Han Sanping asked He Jin not to call him factory director because it would be too intrusive, so he asked He Jin to call him Uncle Han.

After leaving the house, He Jin called Ahu. Two minutes later, Ahu walked out of the small villa next to the villa with several other bodyguards.

"There are three events today, one in Kowloon, one in Yau Ma Tei, and one in Wan Chai. My plan is for you, Brother Hua, and Takeshi Kaneshiro to lead the teams respectively. I believe that with the appeal of the three of you, we should be able to raise the box office today and tomorrow.

A grade.

Han Sanping smiled.

"I understand, I have arranged people here to spread word of mouth among the citizens.

There was no way, Cai Ziming's precedent was just a few years ago, and he didn't want to be sniped.

"Uncle Han, what do you think of our Eastern and Western film industries?"

Even if the critics' bad remarks about the movie are revealed by then, it won't have much impact on the movie's box office.

Fang Cheng said modestly on the phone.

Fang Cheng said on the phone.

"I know this. You should try your best to suppress it for two days. As for if it is exposed later, it will not have a big impact on us. What we have to do now is to improve the movie's reputation among the audience as soon as possible."

He Jin smiled and said, "Our special effects are done by Western teams."

The hotel Han Sanping stayed in was in Kowloon, not too far from Repulse Bay. It took about half an hour to get there.

"If Director Han thinks it's good, you can come here often in the future. I promise to take good care of Director Han."

When I saw Han Sanping, he was already in the restaurant.

He Jin was just sighing at how well Fang Cheng had done things, when Fang Cheng's call came.

Finally, he took the initiative to speak again, "Mr. He, after all, there were many reporters present about this matter yesterday. We can't suppress it for too long even if we want to. You must be mentally prepared."

"Well done, I've seen the newspaper!"

He Jin knew he was joking and followed his words.

In the late 1980s and 1990s, Western industrial special effects began to take a significant lead. As a result, when Western blockbusters were released, Eastern special effects were vulnerable.

Fang Cheng on the other end of the phone thought about it and said.

Han Sanping looked serious, but in fact he was very outgoing, well-spoken, and not arrogant. After a while, the two of them started chatting about each other.

"The gap is huge! There is a gap in business scale, there is a gap in the market, not to mention the film industry.

Han Sanping's frown deepened, "Isn't that starting all over again?"

Eastern films are limited by commercial and industrial restrictions, and their special effects production is inferior to Western films.

The two of them were chatting and laughing while asking the hotel to start serving food.

"No, Uncle Han, you misunderstood what I meant." He Jin shook his head and said proactively:

"Yes, I think so too, but I think we still have a chance to catch up!"

He Jin nodded and then hung up the phone.

He Jin is a person who is wary of danger in times of peace. He was almost kidnapped before and then squatted at the door of the villa. He now pays great attention to his own safety.

He went back to the study and picked up the script of "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World", told the little Jew a few words and asked her to rest at home, and then He Jin went out.

Although He Jin had breakfast at home, the situation was different now and he definitely had to accompany him to eat and drink. This is the most basic way of hospitality.

"Thank you, Mr. He, for your compliment. This is what I should do."

After getting in the car, the group of people rushed directly to the hotel where Han Sanping was staying.

I didn’t see anything about Paul Fang’s on-site criticism of Susan in today’s newspaper. Apparently, he had arranged for reporters yesterday afternoon.

Of course, the two of them chatted mainly about movies.

He Jin said he knew.

After having a drink with Han Sanping, He Jin asked.

What they have to do now is to suppress the news as much as possible and wait for the film's reputation to ferment among the audience.

When they were in Xiangjiang, Ahu and others basically stayed here.

Han Sanping smiled. He was a good person, and he heard something in He Jin's words, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he said:

"Okay, let's do it!"

He Jin nodded and asked: "Where is today's event? What time is it? I have something to do here in the morning, so I may not be able to make it."

"Ha ha……"

"Director Han, how did you sleep last night? Please forgive me if there was any lack of hospitality."

“Slept very well, hotel service is very good, I feel a little happy!”

Han Sanping thought about the special effects scenes of Fast and Furious and said: "The scenes are grand and the various special effects productions are not as good as those in the West, but they are not far behind."

Han Sanping was already older than He Jin, and it made sense to call him uncle, so He Jin followed suit and started calling him Uncle Han.

"What I mean is that we build our own special effects company!"

Hearing this, Han Sanping frowned, "You mean that after our movie is finished, we will ask a Western team to help create special effects?"

It shouldn’t be cheap to find a Western team! But not every crew is as rich as yours!”

"What do you think of our company's special effects in "The Fast and the Furious"?" He Jin asked.

Everyone knows the benefits of industrial special effects, but due to backward industrial technology, Dongfang cannot catch up even if it wants to.

Moreover, special effects companies have always lost money, so so far, although there are special effects companies in Hong Kong, the special effects can hardly be called special effects.

Oriental movies can hire Western teams to produce special effects like Hua Yan, but this requires spending money, and not every film crew is as willing to spend money as Hua Yan.

So, the Oriental special effects are still the same garbage.
