According to media reports, the second generation of the Rich Second Generation Of The Hong Kong entertainment industry, Mak Junlong, is about to shoot a new horror film, and since the release of "Zombie", the audience is very much looking forward to Mak Junlong's new film.
It is reported that the theme of Mai Junlong's new film is a fashion ghost film, in the current Chinese film circle, such a theme is very rare, because it involves ghost films, the mainland can not be released, so many filmmakers will take this into account, so many directors or actors who want to shoot this theme basically can not attract investment.
Including the new film that Mai Junlong is now going to shoot, he is worried about film investment, he once found Anle Pictures, Gu Tianle's Tianxia, Huanyu Pictures and other film companies, but they were all rejected, because these film companies believe that if they cannot be released in the mainland, it is difficult to recover the cost.
So how much investment does this movie need? According to media reports, the preliminary budget of the film is 40 million yuan, which is a small-cost film, but the cast of the film is still good, Mai Junlong invited Liu Qingyun and Lin Jiaxin, two people one is a film emperor and the other is a film queen, and the acting skills are definitely quite good.
However, one of the problems of the film is that it has not yet attracted investment, and if the cost of forty million is only released in Hong Kong, it may only have a few million or tens of millions of box office, and it is more difficult to return the cost, even if it is still released in Southeast Asia, it is difficult to return the cost.
However, this may be the stubbornness of director Mai Junlong, because the movie "Zombie" has no plot constraints, he wants to shoot how to shoot, and finally nominated for the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award, and sent Hui Yinghong to the podium of the Academy Awards, opening her way to the gods. The film has also received praise from many audiences and insiders, and is known as the best zombie film since the era of Lin Zhengying.
Mai Junlong's new film and "Zombie" theme is similar, are fashion horror films, but the film is no longer a zombie, but has become a ghost, mention the ghost, many people are still a little afraid, but there are also many viewers like to watch horror movies.
However, relatively speaking, due to market reasons, the development of Chinese horror films has been stagnant, and mainland horror films are almost blank, because ghosts are not allowed. And the horror films of Hong Kong and Taiwan, because of the cost of small casts weak can not turn over too much storm.
Even in such a situation, Mai Junlong also thought that the script could not be compromised because of the market, so he decided not to release it in the mainland, but because of this, he could not attract investment for the time being, but he believed that it would be resolved soon. Many viewers also excitedly said that if they are not released in the mainland, this time they can come to the real bar, so Mai Junlong's new film may be relatively large in scale, and it may be more brilliant than "Zombie".
So how to solve the investment problem? In fact, it is also very simple, Mai Junlong himself is a rich second generation, coupled with his connections in the entertainment industry, it is still very simple to make up forty million. Some fans also reminded Mai Junlong that he would let him release the movie "Wind Forest Volcano" to earn money, so that he would have money to make new films.
Mak Junlong's "Wind Forest Volcano" is a story he came up with when he attended the Venice Film Festival, constructing a police story that will happen in the snowy Hong Kong in the future, with a very novel theme and a unique plot. The film invited Jin Chengwu, Gu Tianle, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun, Gao Yuanyuan and other big coffee, just look at the cast is very exciting, the film is expected to be released in the New Year file, which is also Mai Junlong's follow-up to "Zombie" after another masterpiece, just filming took more than eight months, post-production time up to two years, filming is likely to be a classic again.
Mai Junlong in the impression of many people is a rich second generation singer, is the ex-boyfriend of Gillian, but he is still very talented in the film, from the perspective of filming style and time, he is known as little Wong Kar-wai, but the work is more commercial than Wong Kar-wai's work, or can be expected.
