His plan is to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic first, then send personnel to study, and then continue to recruit talents from the United States.

Finally build your own special effects company!

So.

When all Hong Kong entertainment practitioners are concerned about Shaw Brothers Cinema’s change of ownership.

That night.

TVB and ATV broadcast news about Daqin Entertainment.

". Our news. Daqin Entertainment Company acquires Shaw Cinema Line Company and announces a merger with its theater chains to establish a subsidiary of Daqin Entertainment, Daqin Cinema!"

".The Daqin Cinema has a total of 29 cinemas, including four leading cinemas, 9 medium-sized cinemas and 15 small cinemas!"

".The cinemas in Daqin Theater will be redecorated, modified, and the decoration standards will be based on the highest standards in Hollywood in the United States! The decoration and modification work is expected to be able to meet you again by the end of this year!"

". The reorganized and renovated Daqin Theater will become the largest cinema company in Hong Kong! At that time, citizens will have an international movie viewing experience!!"

“.balb ala”

It is generally concerned with citizens that the Daqin Cinema will reopen at the end of the year, and the international movie viewing experience is the standard.

What practitioners in the entertainment industry are concerned about are the shooting plans of two blockbusters announced by Daqin Entertainment.

"Wushuang" action, a crime-type film, is expected to invest a total of HK$10 million, and role auditions will be opened across Hong Kong on August 5.

"I Have a Date with a Zombie" is a magical, action film with an estimated investment of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and the role auditions will be opened across Hong Kong on August 6.

The investment budget of 10 million and 20 million, as well as the role auditions, once it broke out, it caused a sensation in the entire Hong Kong!

You should know that the cost of shooting Hong Kong films at this time is generally only about 2 million to 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and a little more than 50 million.

A movie that costs 50,000 Hong Kong dollars for shooting is already considered a big investment movie at this time.

There are only two companies, Xinyi City and Jiahe, who dare to spend so much money to make movies.

Shaw Brothers movies dare not!

It’s not that Shaw Yifu has no money, but that Shaw Brothers movies have always been used to being frugal, and such a budget cannot be achieved at all.

As mentioned earlier.

Nowadays, there are only two movie stars with the highest value in Hong Kong, Macao and Bay Area - Zhang Aijia and Zhao Yazhi.

The value of asking them to film is between 200,000 and 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Qingxia was originally in the first tier.

However, her "New Shushan" at the beginning of the year hit the streets, causing her value to be cut in half and dropped to the second tier.

The second echelon's pay is about 100,000 to 200,000.

How much is given depends on whether the film company and the actors have friendship.

The second tier has a large number of people, including Chung Chuhong, Lin Qingxia, Queen Xu Xiaofeng, Miss Hong Kong champion Zheng Wenya, ATV poster Mi Xiaoxue, Best Actress Lin Biqi of the Academy Awards this year, and Shaw Brothers star Hui Yinghong, all of whom can earn more than 100,000 yuan.

The rest of the actresses are basically less than 100,000.

And they are all fixed pay, no dividends, no assistants, no hotels, and no generous and privileged treatment.

Compared with male stars, their pay is simply terrible.

The male stars in the first tier of Hong Kong are Xu Guanjie and Big Nose Dragon, and their value is around 3 million.

Eight to ten times more than first-tier actresses, even ten years later in 1993, the gap did not narrow.

Second-tier male stars have different prices.

Like the newcomer's fairy hair, Tan Yonglin and Lin Zixiang, who are popular stars.

The pay is about 300,000 yuan.

But their pay is unstable, and the box office of new films is a failure, and their value may plummet. If the box office is big, the price will naturally rise.

There are also a kind of veteran actors on the second line, such as Qiu Guan Zheng Shaoqiu, Jiahe Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao, Shi Tian, ​​and Mai Jia, who pay between 500,000 and 1 million yuan.

Even if their new film is lost, their value will not drop much. This is the difference between old actors and new stars.

"Wushuang" and "I Have a Date with Zombies", even the protagonist will decide in the audition.

It is obvious that since it is an audition, it is obvious that the two big stars Xu Chujie and Cheng Long will not be chosen.

In this way, when shooting two movies, the cost budget is 10 million and 20 million!

The news just broke out, and people in the film and entertainment circles don’t believe it.

Because at this time, it costs 10 million yuan, you can already invite the first-tier line Xu Chujie and Cheng Long, and there is still more to match the second-tier line.

As a result, the second part of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" was even more exaggerated, and the shooting cost was 20 million.

Although this year, a movie called Shushan, which claims to cost 30 million yuan, has been released.

But everyone is still skeptical.

Is there a "Shushan" that claims to have an investment of 30 million yuan, and some people dare to spend so much money to make movies?

Is it enough to hold on with too much money?

As soon as this kind of news broke out, everyone thought it was wrong.

1 million and 2 million were converted into 10 million and 20 million.

However, when you see, the company that proposed to shoot two such movies is called Daqin Entertainment.

The parent company of Daqin Entertainment is called Daqin Group.

The boss of Daqin Group is named Qin Fan.

Everyone believed it a little.

It's like in 2022.

A small company that I had never heard of suddenly jumped out and said that it was planning to shoot a movie that cost 1 billion yuan and a movie that cost 2 billion yuan.

If you say this, few people will believe it.

But if you say this, you are a wealthy man who has just successfully acquired a company with a market value of tens of billions of yuan.

Then everyone will go from being completely unbeliever to being skeptical, and the degree of "believer" should be slightly higher.

In short, on August 5 and August 6, the Jinxin Building, located at 136 Queen's Avenue East, Central, is destined to be very lively.

On August 3rd.

1:30 noon.

TVB Wireless TV City.

Zhou Xingxing was lying on the backstage of the "430 Shuttle Machine" program, holding a newspaper in his hand, and was very stunning.

Zhou Xingxing, 21 years old this year, is doing very well.

He applied for the 11th TVB Artist Training Class last year, but failed; in the same year, under the introduction of Qi Meizhen, he entered the night training class of the 11th TVB Artist Training Class.

This year, after finally graduating from the TVB Artist Training Class, he officially became a contracted artist of TVB.

As a result, he was sent to the company as the host of the children's program "430 Shuttle Machine" and co-starred with his partner Long Bingji in the unit drama "Black and White Zombies" in the program.

When he could see God.

His partner, Long Bingji, who is also the host of the "430 Shuttle Machine", came over and said curiously before he left:

"Huh? A Xing, why haven't you left yet? Usually at this time, you are almost at Qingshui Bay."

In this era, larger film companies all had their own cinemas.

Jiahe’s is in Diamond Mountain, and Shaw’s is in Clear Water Bay.

In the past, after getting off work in "430 Shuttle", Zhou Xingxing would run to Qingshui Bay without stopping to play guest appearances in movies or TV series.

Even if there is no supporting role to play, he will help in the cinema, do some behind-the-scenes work, do odd jobs, and so on.

Long Bingji admired his diligence very much.

When we get off work after filming "430 Shuttle", we are usually very tired.

Other hosts and special actors all go to rest if they can.

Only Zhou Xingxing has enough energy.

I filmed a very tiring show all morning, and in the afternoon I would go to Qingshui Bay to be a supporting role for free, and I could get up to a few lunch boxes.

Before, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, Zhou Xingxing's itinerary had not changed.

It was the first time today that it was so late. Long Bingji saw that he was still in the TV City, so he got the curious question above.

The two of them are actually peers. Zhou Xingxing smiled and said, "Brother Ji, there is something to do today, so I won't go to Qingshui Bay."

"Don't call me that!" Long Bingji said dissatisfiedly: "It's strange to you for calling me like this!"

"Then it's called Aki." Zhou Xingxing didn't mind either.

"It's just as weird" Long Bingji was helpless.
