904. The sequel to "Dark War"?

"Dark War" was a surprising explosion, and it can be said that it exploded countless people in an instant.

Especially for a group of directors in Hong Kong, you should know that Cao Meng is actually not the top-notch one among the older generation of directors in Hong Kong.

But now, a movie "Secret War" is sent directly to Cao Meng!

"Dark War" may not be the most popular and highest-grossing movie made by a Hong Kong director, but it is the highest-grossing movie made by a Hong Kong director.

It was nearly 1 billion in the first week, and the total box office was estimated to be almost gone.

Such achievements, coupled with the fact that "Secret War" is indeed the taste of an old Hong Kong film, so Cao Meng naturally rose suddenly!

But in fact, Cao Meng was not so successful.

What is the biggest reason why "Dark War" has achieved such great success?

If others don’t know, can Cao Meng still not know?

Times Light and Shadow hopes that he can film the sequel to "Dark War". If he really gets arrogant, then he will definitely not say anything and shoot it.

However, Cao Meng instead proposed that Wang Yifan would make the sequel script, and he would be filmed.

But other directors in Hong Kong don't think so.

The success of "Dark War" is more about praising Cao Meng himself, praising Hong Kong films for not dying yet, and praising Hong Kong films for revival.

Not to mention, for laymen, especially "Secret War", it is indeed a big hit, proving that Hong Kong films do have a big market.

Therefore, the statement that "Dark War" praised by some Hong Kong film directors is the starting point of the revival of Hong Kong films is still very marketable.

Although Hong Kong films are played badly by those directors who make money, and they are playing well with good cards, the feelings of Hong Kong films are still there. If "The Secret War" had not appeared, perhaps in a few years, the feelings of Hong Kong films will be shoddy, and Hong Kong films such as the dog-tailed sequel to the slut, will be defeated by the popularity of Hong Kong films, but at this time, "The Secret War" will prolong the feelings of Hong Kong films.

In terms of finance, the stock prices of several film companies in Hong Kong have set sail!

In fact, it is all about showing that the market is optimistic about Hong Kong films!

Hong Kong films have a very good feature, that is, the production cost is not too high, and the production cycle is relatively short.

"Dark War" is an example. Although this movie invites two Hong Kong king-level actors to play the male lead, in fact, because the film does not have any big scenes, the cost is actually not high.

What's the result?

The box office is definitely over 2 billion, so don’t make too easy to make money!

At the same time, the series "Dark War" has also been remembered by many people, especially when Cao Meng and Wang Yifan made it clear that they would not continue this series, many Hong Kong film directors were moved.

Because many Hong Kong directors are inspired by "Secret War"!

They found that it is really hard to say how exciting the plot of "Dark War" is. To put it bluntly, it is still the same as the old Hong Kong film.

However, the plot of the two protagonists, and the fight between the soldiers and the thief meets the opponent, seems to be very popular.

Thinking of domestic police and gangster films, usually, the black and white boundaries are very clear, so this kind of plot of mutual appreciation is more popular among the public.

They felt that they had reached the most eye-catching point of Hong Kong police and gangster films, so they were ready to start reviving Hong Kong films!

As for such awesome movie "Dark War", they praised it as a revival of Hong Kong films, the sequel is naturally very interesting.

And the Light and Shadow of Times think so.

They also think that "Dark War" has such a high box office and a good reputation, so the sequel must be done.

Unfortunately, Wang Yifan has no interest in the script for the sequel.

The reason why a classic is a classic is that it cannot be copied. If it can be copied, it is not a classic.

Is "Dark War" classic?

At least in Wang Yifan's heart, "Dark War" is definitely a classic work in Hong Kong police and gangster films.

So, he really doesn't want to be a dog-tailed man, and he also thinks he doesn't have the ability to create a better story than the story of "Dark War".

Times Light and Shadow want to make a sequel, but he doesn't care. He directly sold the copyright of the sequel to Times Light and Shadow.

Wang Yifan's attitude did make Times Light and Shadow hesitate a little. Wang Yifan directly sold the sequel copyright, obviously not optimistic about the sequel. Although the offer price is not low, it still means this.

Dai Xinyue had some doubts about "Dark War", but the Light and Shadow of Times felt that Wang Yifan was pretending to be noble. In their opinion, even if the sequel to "Dark War" was not as good as the first one, it was certainly guaranteed to make money.

As a result, the copyright of the sequel to "Dark War" was soon acquired by Times Light and Shadow at a high price.

And soon the sequel to "Dark War" was put on the agenda.

Because Cao Meng was unwilling to take over the sequel, Times Light and Shadow began to recruit directors from the outside.

As a result, another Hong Kong Island director, Qin He announced that he would take over "Dark War 2"!

The script of "Dark War 2" was also handed over to Hong Kong Island's gold medal screenwriter Duyou!

Times Light and Shadows strike while the iron is hot, and before the craze for the revival of Hong Kong films brought about by "Dark War" has faded, the plan to launch the sequel to "Dark War" has been announced!

Director Qin He, the old director of the Hong Kong police and gangster film, once again joined hands with Hong Kong Island gold medal screenwriter Du You to create a sequel to "Dark War"!

After this news came out, the effect was quite good.

Many fans are optimistic about the sequel to "Dark War".

Of course, some people believe that the first part of "Dark War" is already very complete, and Andy Lau has passed away and another sequel will be launched. Then it must be another story, and it has nothing to do with "Dark War".

Moreover, the wonderful memes and plots in "Dark War" are difficult to copy and surpass.

Especially the romantic love encountered by buses can be said to be regarded as a classic by countless people.

However, Times Light and Shadow held a grand launch conference for the sequel project of "Dark War"!

Wang Yifan also wants to come and help the platform. There is no way. Although Wang Yifan is not interested in the sequel to "Dark War", after all, the copyright of the sequel to "Dark War" was severely slaughtered the light and shadow of the times.

Although the sequel copyright fee of a total of 200 million yuan seems not very high compared to the box office of "Dark War" of 2 billion, in fact, the price is really not low.

Therefore, Times Light and Shadow asked Wang Yifan to stand up for the movie at the launch conference of the "Dark War" sequel project, and Wang Yifan agreed.

Century Hotel in Beijing!

"Dark War" has not been released yet, so it can be said that it is popular. In addition, Times Light and Shadow are really making a big deal this time, so there were hundreds of media reporters in the launch conference for the project launch of the sequel to "Dark War".

The entire press conference hall was filled with a lot!

The starring actors of "Dark War", Chen Dahua, Li Qingyun, director Cao Meng, and screenwriter Wang Yifan, all came to support the show.

The scene is naturally extremely spectacular!

Before the press conference began, Cao Meng started chatting with Wang Yifan.

"Why doesn't Director Cao accept this sequel to "Dark War"?" Wang Yifan was indeed a little curious about what Cao Meng thought.

In fact, although he is not optimistic about the sequel to "The Secret War", as long as the cost is controlled, the first part is popular, and even if the second part is a little worse, it will not lose money. At least, the box office on the book should not be too low, and perhaps the reputation will be a little worse, but the business side should not be too poor.
