Chapter 59 Brother Nan is really different.
Big Eyes and the others arrived quickly and left just as fast, and the (Never Endless) victory celebration banquet proceeded smoothly.
To Su Nan's surprise, He Guanchang and Luo Dawei arrived together at the very beginning of the banquet.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two expressed their intention to start filming (Huang Feihong's "A Man Should Be Self-reliant").
Aside from Rosamund Kwan, she is still the only choice for the role of Aunt Thirteen.
The corner of Liang Kuan left behind by Yuan Biao's withdrawal can be recommended by Skyworth.
Weren't Xu Yajun and Jiao Enjun, who were also young leading men, at the wrap party?
If the original trajectory allows Big Eyes to break in and take advantage of the situation, and if Ishigaki Oo Minami becomes increasingly outrageous, it wouldn't be bad to maintain some goodwill.
Golden Harvest itself isn't particularly shady; the group's actions are similar to outsourcing thugs to develop its core business.
Su Nan didn't stand on ceremony and toasted Lao He and Lao Luo a few times, tacitly agreeing to the cooperation.
Around 9 p.m., he and Rosamund Kwan returned home, where Ah Hong had already prepared a hangover soup.
Su Nan took the drunk Sister Guan back to her room.
Ah Hong happily remarked, "(Kung Fu Hustle) has become so popular that an outside company offered me 25 yuan to play the female lead."
"GG's endorsement fee has also increased to a maximum of HK$30 per year."
Su Nan took a sip of soup. "There's no rush to pick good scripts for movies. GG can take on a few roles to save up some extra money."
He remembered telling Ah Hong that he should stock up on some shares when the Shanghai Stock Exchange issues new shares.
The stock subscription certificates will be issued in a few months.
Even if Skyworth takes a cut and taxes after a few deals with Ahong, she can still make a fortune by buying subscription certificates with hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Ah Hong nodded repeatedly, "By the way, Xu's Film Company also offered me a contract."
"She is the female lead in Hui Koon-man's new Lunar New Year comedy film, playing Hui Koon-man's daughter."
"The pay wasn't that high, it was 20, but that's still more worthwhile than getting a high salary for a bad movie, right?"
Su Nan nodded, "That works. Old Xu is quite talented."
The fortune teller brought together Li Ming at the peak of his career to form a group, and the Four Heavenly Kings of the music scene were set to take shape starting in 92.
This film grossed 92 million local box office in 3600, overshadowing "Swordsman II" and "Twin Dragons".
Skyworth's signing of Lai Ming is still in negotiations, and the reason for this delay is that Lai Ming has not completely broken away from TVB yet.
However, the phenomenal success of (Kung Fu) also increased the other party's confidence in joining Skyworth.
The current issue is the film actor's salary and how much commission GG takes.
Is (The Hacker) a huge investment to cast him as the lead actor, or is it part of a multi-part series?
He was willing to lower his share of the profits in order to win over the male lead, Li Ming, but he couldn't be like a newcomer.
Ah Hong asked curiously, "Are you really going to wait until 94 to start filming and directing? Isn't that too long?"
All the ordinary money-making projects were handed over to Hong Jinbao.
She was curious because the animated film was expected to start production later than anticipated in southern Jiangsu.
Su Nan shook his head. "If we start filming in 1992, I can only raise 30 to 40 million US dollars for special effects at most. That amount of money is not enough, and the special effects technology there is not yet up to par."
"After filming, we have to wait a long time; the special effects alone will take more than a year to complete."
Many special effects companies in Hollywood are still exploring the development of the film industry.
So what about the bullet time effect? Actually, it's a wall of 120 cameras, with a computer controlling the array of cameras to take a bunch of photos.
Only after creating the "time freeze, visual rotation" effect did they use CGI for post-rendering.
It's like a series of countless photos playing in sequence.
But he doesn't know how much CGI-related technology is still lacking in the later stages.
He added, "But we can go to Shanghai first to set up the necessary film studios, architectural models, and prop models."
The original directors of The Matrix have built many large structures in real life.
Large-scale miniature models of the original Zion caves, the last human city, and other sites have also been built.
Then there are various spaceships, octopus sentinels, and the main walking mechs used by humans in combat.
There are plenty of super models, not to mention smaller models and props.
In the first film, Neo, the savior, breaks free from the Matrix and awakens in reality at a superhuman farm filled with countless nutrient pods containing countless people.
That's a large-scale model of a building that was actually constructed in reality.
A miniature model similar to the subway train that derailed and crashed to the ground in the movie (Speed).
Of course, this version of (The Matrix) in Su Nan will not name humanity's last city Zion.
He named it Pure Land City or Grotto Heaven in the script.
The Pure Land of Buddhism or the Grotto-Heaven City of Taoism are similar in nature to the last hope city for mankind.
Even a character like "Prophet," who is essentially a product of an intelligent AI program, wouldn't use the original version.
The new definition refers to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, or powerful beings in Taoism who can foresee the future and predict timelines.
There are countless great figures in Chinese mythology who can predict the secrets of heaven by calculating with their fingers.
In any case, it is a life form created from an AI program within the design.
Su Nan personally prefers the Taoist concept of blessed lands and grottoes, but Buddhism has a huge influence in island nations, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
The complete localization of (The Matrix) is destined to result in a box office performance in Europe and the United States that is far inferior to the original.
He chose Buddhism and Pure Land City as alternative settings after taking all factors into consideration, intensifying the bombardment of the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets.
Since they were going to do it anyway, they conveniently built a large number of physical buildings, models, and props for the first and second parts.
You can build your own super human farm architectural model, and CGI rendering is used to upgrade the image quality.
Ah Hong laughed, "I don't think it necessarily has to be wholly owned. From Baoxiang and Yongsheng to Jiahe, and so on."
"If you can be moved by the script, plus your (kung fu) achievements."
"If we bring in a few more by 93, we could still scrape together $6000 million for special effects."
"If (The Matrix) can break 1 million new Taiwanese dollars at the box office in Taiwan, it will be another qualitative change."
"Are you worried that outside investors will interfere with the project, give unsolicited instructions, or try to steal your role?"
Generally, when a large company or group invests heavily in a film, it certainly has significant decision-making power.
Can "Shixiawei Nan Ge" be the same?
Su Nan shook his head. "You've overlooked the most important point: copyright."
"Introducing other capital is equivalent to relinquishing some copyrights. They won't say too much about the first one, but if it's a huge hit, the sequel production is hard to say."
Ah Hong's words aren't entirely wrong. If Hong Kong films can strongly defeat Hollywood blockbusters in the Taiwanese market...
The large-scale capital flight that began in the mid-to-late 90s will also slow down.
At least the outside world still has confidence in Skyworth's manufacturing capabilities.
The first Matrix film, featuring an all-black and white cast, grossed $91.7 million at the box office in Taiwan.
The all-Chinese version will only be much higher; Leon Lai, playing a Taiwanese male lead, could easily reach 1.5 million!
If Vincent Chiao were cast as the savior, the box office would likely reach NT$2 million.
而在岛国（黑客2）是110亿日円，（黑客1）87亿日円（黑客3）是67亿日円。
Jackie Chan's box office appeal in Japan is unparalleled, with 10 of his films grossing over 1 billion yen and dozens of his films grossing over 100 million yen.
The Matrix trilogy is equivalent to Jackie Chan's accumulated wealth in Japan for half his life.
The reason why Sunan did not consider introducing other capital is because it values copyright and does not want to cause a lot of trouble with the sequel.
He smiled again and said, "We'll see. It will take a year or two to build the base, models, props, and so on in the mainland."
"I also want to go to Hollywood to learn blue screen shooting, for at least six months. We'll see if it attracts outside capital then."
Ah Hong asked with delight, "Can I come with you?"
Su Nan put his arm around Ah Hong's waist and complained, "I'll take you on if you can learn to have English conversations."
He can't bring many bodyguards with him when he goes to America; last time he only brought Rosamund Kwan.
Now? He has the fighting power to kill the landlord, and he also has a personal space, so he's not afraid of not being able to cause trouble for Old Mi.
If everything goes smoothly, I can learn quickly from the US, and maybe I can even start hacking back in 93.
After filming and production were completed, the special effects took a year to work on.
It still involves physical model creation and various live-action shoots, with CGI used for post-production rendering.
This rendering is similar to the rendering of dinosaur models in (Jurassic Park 1), making the real-life models move and come alive.
(Jurassic Park 1) was prepared for half a year in 1992, started filming in August, and then spent another year working on special effects and CGI.
