941 [The strongest lineup in the universe]
When Song Zhichao announced that his entertainment company was about to shoot the TV series "Prison Break" and filmed on the spot at Stanley Prison in Hong Kong in a movie mode. The first season cost as much as 130 million yuan, the whole Hong Kong reaction was-
First, he was silently shocked, then he was violently boiling.
You know, TV and movies are all different things in this era. What is Song Zhichao doing with such a big deal now? Is it a sensational or a purpose?
With the news coming out, Song Zhichao's remarks became a "carnival feast" for many Hong Kong news media - no matter which newspaper or radio station, as long as they want to obtain sales and ratings, they all reported crazy about the news.
Hong Kong Ming Pao: "The Song Group is doing big things, and it is not ruthless to film 100 million! Is it true or false? Let's wait and see if it changes!"
Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao: "Song's sudden idea was to turn TV into a movie! It's not easy to find money in Hong Kong. What's the purpose of this move?"
Hong Kong's Sing Tao Daily: "Is "Prison Break" about to change the TV mode, or is it about to break the TV into a movie? Song Zhichao's eyes are ignited by blowing water!"
Overall, many news media have adopted a "question" attitude towards Song Zhichao's words; and for ordinary Hong Kong people, Song Zhichao's doing this is simply eye-catching - please, what's the good thing about TV series? I also invested more than 100 million yuan to cheat!
However, for those who know Song Zhichao and are eyeing him, Song Zhichao has ulterior motives to do this - it is not important to invest more than one billion yuan to make a movie. What is important is the sentence "scene scenes in Stanley Prison" and the meaning here is much deeper.
Could it be that Song Zhichao wants to "flame" Stanley Prison with a TV series and become a "tourist destination" in the Hong Kong Island region?
No, this is simply too funny!
Not to mention that Song Zhichao's opponent Kang Yongren doesn't believe it, even the big bosses Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and others don't believe it.
Could it be that a single drama can make Song Zhichao turn over, change the image of Stanley Prison, and allow the American Disneyland, who is desperate to save face, to accept the suggestion of Song Group to build a paradise on Hong Kong Island, and to go along with that prison?
Are you getting a mistake?
Those real estate tycoons all thought Song Zhichao was really a little whimsical and couldn't help but laugh.
As for Song Zhichao's friends, Fu Jiajun, He Chaoqiong, Liu Luanxiong and others, they think this is Song Zhichao's "rescue strategy" - perhaps Song Zhichao has some sharp tricks that he has not used.
But is this really the case?
...
For Song Zhichao—
In his previous life, this American version of the super TV series "Prison Break" was of epoch-making significance.
It is this TV series that allowed global film practitioners to enter the TV industry during the collective decline of the film industry, spend a lot of money, and invite the most well-known movie stars to officially "filmize the TV series".
To be precise, it is to shoot TV series using the mode of shooting movies.
In this way, the TV series will have the same effect as the movie, full of shock and incredibility, and the audience can enjoy the same audio-visual enjoyment in the cinema while sitting at home.
In fact, that era is the best and the worst.
The good times are because big directors like Spielberg have also begun to put down their shelves and move from Hollywood to the TV industry, allowing the TV and the Internet industry to flourish.
The bad era is because not only the Hollywood film industry has declined severely, but other film industries around the world are also showing a weak trend, and only mainland Chinese films have begun to emerge.
But now, it is 1996!
Hollywood also dominates the global film industry.
American blockbusters are still rampant around the world.
Song Zhichao, who is in Hong Kong, advanced to shoot TV series by shooting movies, and also chose the classic drama "Prison Break" that will explode the world in the future.
Song Zhichao personally wrote the script framework, which is almost exactly the same as the main line of "Prison Break" in his previous life. It tells stories about salvation. In order to save his brother who was framed and imprisoned, the hero plans to escape and successfully escape. He is imprisoned again during his escape career and finally collects evidence to seek escape.
Then, Song Zhichao took advantage of the power of the Hong Kong Film Group and found thirteen famous Hong Kong screenwriters in one go, such as Wei Jiahui, You Dazhi, Chen Jiashang and others.
Any of these people are the winners of the Best Screenwriter at the Hong Kong Film Awards. They can be said to be very arrogant. Many directors cannot invite them if they want to invite them. Only tycoons like Song Zhichao, who are super big names in the Hong Kong film industry, can invite thirteen in one breath and gather them together.
According to Wei Jiahui, "We are all very busy, with several scripts to be made and several scenes to be filmed, but with Mr. Song's order, of course we have to give face!"
According to Chen Jiashang, "Hong Kong movies have been very busy recently. I have three or four books in my hand. But when I received a call from Mr. Song, I put down everything in my hand and rushed over immediately - if it were someone else, I would have scolded him and pierced his mother's lungs by the way!"
According to You Dazhi, "We all respect Mr. Song very much - you know, in the past, we screenwriters had a low status in the circle, but after Mr. Song integrated the entertainment industry, we improved our status a lot. Now even many directors and movie bosses have to look at us - this feeling is so good!"
In this way, Song Zhichao invited these thirteen masters, just like King Arthur got the thirteen knights. With their help, he enriched the story of "Prison Break" as fast as possible.
...
In just one week, the task was completed.
The main story of the Hong Kong version of "Prison Break" is as follows: Cheng Jiajun is in a hopeless dilemma - his brother Cheng Jiahao is found guilty of murder and is thrown into the death row prison of the Stanley Prison in Hong Kong.
Although all the evidence points out that Cheng Jiahao is the murderer, Cheng Jiajun firmly believes that his brother is innocent. Cheng Jiahao's execution date is getting closer and closer. Without any other choice, Cheng Jiajun broke into a bank with a gun, was arrested and imprisoned, and then came to Cheng Jiahao. As a construction engineer, Cheng Jiajun participated in the prison renovation project and knew the most about this place. He designed the most perfect jailbreak plan in history. The only purpose of being imprisoned was to rescue his eldest brother Cheng Jiahao from birth and restore his innocence.
While Cheng Jiajun was preparing for a plan to escape in prison, unexpected people and things appeared one after another on the road to freedom.
After the screenwriters submitted the manuscript, Song Zhichao carefully examined the script of the play, and compared it with the classic American "Prison Break" in his previous life. Occasionally, he put forward some opinions in some details, such as the hidden mystery on the male protagonist's back, hiding the "Stanley Prison" map, etc.
The blessing of these details made Chen Jiashang and others applaud, thinking that Song Zhichao was a loser if he didn't take the initiative to be a screenwriter himself, and he was too talented and creative.
Song Zhichao was very "moderate" in this regard, but said, "Do you know, we are creating history."
