Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1086 I'm not filming to make money

On December 1984, 12, this day was Tuesday, and "You Know About Entertainment" ushered in a very special guest.

On weekdays, during the time period from Monday to Friday, "You Know About Entertainment" talks about entertainment-related information, or does some live entertainment reports.

But today's episode of "You Know About Entertainment" is a special program, the kind where guests are invited into the studio to record.

"Dear viewers, today's "Entertainment Talk" is a bit special. Today we have invited a guest who doesn't usually appear in public."

"It's strange to say that although he is neither a celebrity nor a singer, there are quite a few people who have heard of him in Xiangjiang, and he is even more famous than some celebrities."

When Lin Jianming said this, he directly made a gesture of please to the other side.

"Let us welcome, the boss of New Oriental Film Company, Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin..."

After Lin Jianming finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu stepped into the recording scene of "You Know About Entertainment".

This is the first time he participated in the program "You Know About Entertainment". In fact, "You Know About Entertainment" was created by Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, please sit down."

Lin Jianming invited Lin Daoqiu to sit down, and she sat across from her.

Today's scene is a little different from before. Lin Jianming usually sits inside to visit guests.

But the way she interviewed Lin Daoqiu today was by sitting in front of each other. From this, we can see that this program is special.

"Actually, I have always been a loyal viewer of "You Know About Entertainment". I have been paying attention to this program since its first episode."

Lin Daoqiu didn't lie. After all, he participated in the whole process of recording the first episode, otherwise Lin Jianming wouldn't know how to host it.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin. In fact, I believe that many people know that "You Know About Entertainment" is an entertainment information program created by Mr. Lin. The reason why you asked me to host it was because I am a talker?"

Lin Jianming was just joking, but the reason she mentioned was one of the considerations when Lin Daoqiu chose the host.

If you compare a person who likes to talk and a person who is very quiet, if they are asked to host "Entertainment Talk", Lin Daoqiu will definitely choose the former.

And Lin Jianming happened to like to talk, and what he said had some content, not the kind of pure chatter or nonsense.

"A small part of it is because of this. After all, this show has only one host. If it is too quiet, it will not be good."

Lin Jianming didn't think there was anything wrong with being a chatterbox, and she was very glad that she was a chatterbox, otherwise Lin Daoqiu would not have chosen her to be the host of "You Know About Entertainment".

"It turns out that being a chatterbox also has such an advantage, so it seems that I will keep this advantage forever."

Lin Jianming smiled and did not continue talking about this topic.

Lin Daoqiu's participation in "You Know About Entertainment" today is definitely not because he wants to be interviewed on a whim. His purpose of coming here today is to promote "Godzilla" which will be released next week.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that next week, Xiangjiang Cinemas will have a very powerful movie coming out?"

"Asha is right. The film cost 5000 million U.S. dollars. If converted, it will be 12 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Hearing this, Lin Jianming immediately showed a stunned expression, but in fact, before that, Lin Jianming knew the production fee of "Godzilla" a long time ago, and here she is just pretending.

"Oh my God, Mr. Lin is joking for spending 12 billion to make a movie, right?"

Although Lin Jianming's performance at this time has an element of acting in it, the real thoughts in her heart are not much different from what is shown on her face now.

Spend 12 billion Hong Kong dollars to make a movie, which made the audience who were watching "Entertainment Talk" in front of the TV exclaim that Lin Daoqiu was crazy.

"Such a joke can't just be made casually. It's 12 billion. In fact, I didn't know that the filming of "Godzilla" would cost so much money. If I had known earlier, I would not have made it."

Lin Daoqiu pretended to be very depressed, but in fact, even if the production cost of this drama was [-] million US dollars, he would vote for it without hesitation.

"This is really amazing. According to this calculation, Mr. Lin's "Godzilla" film is almost equal to Xiangjiang's total box office revenue in three years."

To spend so much money to make a movie, no wonder many people think that Lin Daoqiu must be crazy to do such a thing.

Even if he gets a box office of [-] million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, so what? Anyone who knows a little about movies thinks that Lin Daoqiu will definitely lose money this time.

Now it's time to see how much "Godzilla" will cost him, even if he is an internationally renowned filmmaker.

Lin Daoqiu has never won a movie that can break the box office of [-] million US dollars in Hollywood. If the box office performance of "Godzilla" is the same as that of "Tomb Raider", then Lin Daoqiu will lose at least half of it.

"Mr. Lin, are you really not afraid of losing money after spending so much money on a film? There is no way to recover the cost of this film in Xiangjiang, so we can only rely on the external market."

Lin Jianming is more or less an insider in the industry. Of course, she knows very well that if Xiangjiang Films wants to make money at this time, it depends on the box office revenue of Baodao and Southeast Asia.

But even if all those areas are added up, it is already a very remarkable thing to bring Lin Daoqiu an income of [-] million.

No one knows what Lin Daoqiu thinks, most people think he is crazy, and this time "Godzilla" will definitely lose money.

"Actually, I didn't make this movie to make money, but to improve the special effects technology. Even if "Godzilla" lost money in the end, because of the movie "Godzilla" in the past few years, Magic Studio's special effects technology has been greatly improved. Great progress has been made, and the money was well spent.”

Lin Daoqiu doesn't expect "Godzilla" to make money?That must be impossible.

The reason why he poured so much money into it is to make a lot of money all at once, otherwise, how could he have spent a few years filming a movie, wouldn't he have that kind of energy to do something else? better.

It’s just that if you say this on TV, you will appear to be more noble. Laity people like money, and I have transcended this low-level interest and developed towards a higher level.

"I don't know what kind of movie "Godzilla" is, which cost 12 billion. I can't wait to see it."
