Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

For Cheng Long, if he makes more kung fu movies, he wants to go the way of literary films. He also wants to get performance awards. So he has filmed Long’s Heart, Hong Jinbao played his mentally retarded brother, and Hong Jinbao in that movie Very restrained, only arranged a play for Cheng Long.

But for Jiahe, they hold Cheng Long, give him so much freedom, so high pay, and treat him like a son, not for him to make some literary and artistic films, but for him to film what the audience likes. , Is also the action movie he is good at making a lot of box office.

Fortunately, Long's investment is not so big, and the box office performance is not bad.

Therefore, when Cheng Long once again showed that he wanted to shoot some literature and art, Jiahe reluctantly expressed support.

But Jiahe also said that art can be literary, but there must be no special effects in action scenes. If there are too few, it will not agree to filming.

This is to prevent Cheng Long from doing what he did when he patted the heart of a dragon.

There is no way, Cheng Long can only add to the scene when shooting as much art as possible. The result is that the miracle seriously exceeded the budget and it took 70 million to shoot.

Guan Zhilin heard that the investment in the Flying Eagle plan had reached a record of more than 110 million, and the return on investment was much lower than that of a trick expert. She originally felt that she was in a good mood when she was compared.

But she was in a good mood, but Jiahe Zou Wenhuai and others were in a rather bad mood.

At the beginning of the shooting of the Flying Eagle plan, they strictly required Cheng Long to control the cost, and Cheng Long also promised well.

And because the original Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers were very good at the box office, coupled with Cheng Long’s box office appeal, and Jiahe’s status as the first brother, Jiahe should not be too harsh on Cheng Long, so the initial investment scale itself is not low.

Who made this Cheng Long?

His movies do not use special effects, but it does not mean that the cost is low.

His crew, all the hardware facilities are the best, and the treatment to the staff is also the highest in the industry.The daily necessities of the married class are fully covered, and the salary red envelopes are directly handed over to the wife to support the family.

So, although it was a good point, when Cheng Long pulled the crew from Asia, Europe and Africa to start a run, he quickly got out of Jiahe's control.

Everyone knows that running on location is very expensive, let alone running so many people on three continents.

During the start of the work, the crew of hundreds of people, everyone eats, drinks, and sleeps regardless of each other, which is a huge expense.

When filming in other places, in addition to the cost of scene selection and other expenses, road traffic and dealings with the local government have to be blocked, which adds to the cost.

Then what is it for drag racing again, that's fine, when did Cheng Long's movie lack these?

Then Cheng Long was injured, and he had cultivated for a long time, but the crew couldn’t leave. Not only should the pay for the film be not less, but he also had to pay more for the film.

The originally planned location must also be renewed.

All kinds of expenses are expensive.

Moreover, various unexpected situations continue one after another.

Like when shooting in Morocco, that place is the location of many African movies, and the scenery is quite good.

But the climate in that place is really unfriendly to foreigners.

Because of the hot climate, more than 90% of the crew members were sick and bedridden due to unacceptable water and soil, and one was stung by a scorpion. Filming had to be postponed for two months.

One day the heroine Zheng Yuling finished filming and cried on the spot when she thought of the end of such a bitter life.

In the evening, the three heroines who quickly became friends hugged each other in hardship, sang songs to wine, and cried together when they were deeply in love, and then went to sleep in the tent after crying.

The crew woke up at 4 a.m. every morning to put on makeup and had to stop work before noon. Not only could people not stand the high temperature in the desert, but also the machines could not stand it. There were always malfunctions and delays in filming due to sand entering. Don't let the sand and dust run in.

Even the camels on which the animals are filming are very shameless and often disobedient play and strike.

In order to ensure the completion of the filming task as soon as possible, Cheng Long did a lot of logistical support at all costs.

This sum of money is all money.

When Cheng Long thought this was unlucky enough, even worse things were still waiting for him.

The banknotes used by the crew for filming somehow were regarded as real banknotes and circulated locally. The Moroccan authorities contacted Cheng Long and confiscated all the films.

The crew hurriedly contacted the lawyer to deal with the matter, to show their identity and make a guarantee. After many days of hard work, the police finally returned the film to them.

But the police arrested the production manager on charges of issuing fake banknotes. The production manager spent three months in jail for this.

It’s not over yet. Because I was frightened by a series of unexpected situations, the crew did not finish shooting all the desert shots in Africa. Instead, after shooting all the shots necessary to be shot locally, they shipped another 10 tons of sand back. Hong Kong shoots the remaining shots.

That's it, the final film of this movie is still considered to be a joke and not serious in art design, scene design, and prop making.

But it cost more than 110 million Hong Kong dollars.

If the art design, scene design, and prop production are all on par with the Raiders of the Lost Ark, then I don’t know how much it will cost.

And it is the investment of more than 10 million yuan that broke the investment record of Hong Kong films that has made Jiahe’s boss Zou Wenhuai, Cheng Long’s godfather He Guanchang and they determined not to let Cheng Long direct the tube again.

No way, it’s really Southeast Asia. East Asian countries plus Hong Kong and Taiwan’s movie volume are there. It’s too risky to invest too much. Even if you can pay back, you will earn too little, and you will not take the risks. proportion.

But for the audience, Cheng Long has once again dedicated to them a wonderful film. In Qiao Feng's view, this Flying Eagle Project is definitely a pinnacle of Hong Kong-produced films.

This film is absolutely perfect in terms of entertainment.

The story at the beginning of the movie is a classic joke. The flying eagle who went on vacation in the Amazon River Valley drank a few sips of the holy water in the savage cave and was asked to be a savage hunting down the door by the tribe. The act of stealing valuable gems by himself turned out to be There is no sin.

Cheng Long sighed speechlessly, "Drinking holy water is more serious than stealing gems?"

Then the speechless Flying Eagle received a task: to find 240 tons of gold buried in a secret base.

This is a fragrant journey.

Cheng Long took a German girl and a Hong Kong beauty expert on a treasure hunt, and then met a Japanese girl he knew on the way.

The open but a little bit of a German beauty, a mean but cute Chinese archaeological beauty expert, a gentle, virtuous and strong Japanese beauty, plus the little pervert Cheng Long, the formation of one man and three women, fully satisfy most people's yy .

The harsh expert played by Zheng Yuling makes people laugh endlessly when they appear on the stage. That mouth really lives up to the name of "dudu", laughing and cursing, and ruining the person she wants to harm; while the German beauty is a standard Western girl That kind of classic comedy image that knows not to be surprised, and that success is not enough to fail, plus a rare and normal Japanese girl, it is really impossible not to laugh.

In the movie, three women wore one helmet and two, and beat a mercenary to death. It was really laughable.

Coupled with Cheng Long's excellent action scenes as always, it is impossible for the Desert Eagle to fail.

It’s just success. The high investment of the Flying Eagle Project is destined to be far inferior to the tricky experts in the rate of return.

Therefore, don't look at the box office of the Flying Eagle Project being stronger than the tricky experts, but in the eyes of insiders, the Flying Eagle Project has no possibility of imitating at all, because they can't find another Cheng Long and can't get so much money.

On the contrary, it is a nonsense comedy like a trick expert that is very suitable for it.
