Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1148 Raising money to build a building (LPL come on!)
From the preparation to the establishment of the Performing Arts Association, in just one week, most of the things were almost done.

After all, with the help of so many people, there are actually not many things in hand, and there are no complicated procedures for establishing an association.

But since the Performing Arts Association is an association that includes all Xiangjiang performers, it naturally needs a slightly better office location.

"I think we should call on everyone to donate and use the money to build a building in the urban area, so that it will be more convenient for the association to do things in the future."

Wen Jun's idea is very simple, Xiangjiang has so many cast and crew, not to mention those technical jobs, just talk about celebrities, directors and screenwriters, everyone donates some money together, so that the money for a building will be there.

As for Wen Jun's proposal, several other people present nodded their heads one after another. Everyone thought Wen Jun's proposal was quite good.

It was 1985 at this time, and the real estate in Xiangjiang began to recover, but compared with a few years later, the land price and house price were not so exaggerated.

And if it's not in an elite location, as long as you gather tens of millions, you should be able to settle this matter.

"Brother Qiu, what do you think?"

Wen Jun turned to look at Lin Daoqiu and asked for his opinion. As long as Lin Daoqiu nodded, the matter of donating money to build the building could be settled.

But after Lin Daoqiu heard what Wen Jun said, he shook his head directly.

"At the beginning, the association was established to help everyone, but the association has not yet started to operate, so people donate money to build buildings. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Although this Performing Arts Association was created to serve everyone, but for Sammo Hung's Actors Association, Jiahe and Di Bao volunteered to donate money at the beginning.

Now that I'm on my side, I'm calling on everyone to donate money to build the building. If it gets out, I'm afraid people won't say anything publicly, but I'm afraid they will be quite dissatisfied with me in private.

"Brother Qiu, the establishment of this association is also to help everyone. There is no reason why we should pay for the building ourselves."

Wen Jun didn't think there was anything wrong with his proposal. After all, the Performing Arts Association was for everyone, so what's wrong with asking them to pay?
"Since this association was created to serve everyone, there is no reason for us to pay for the building."

According to Lin Daoqiu's words, he neither intends to ask everyone to donate money to build the building, nor has he thought about paying for it himself. Could it be that the performing arts association's building will not be built?

Or does Lin Daoqiu feel that there is no need to build a building at all, so he should mean to rent a floor as the office of the association?
If that's the case, it's not impossible, but it always feels like it's a bit out of place.

"If that's the case, then I'll go to the city and rent a floor to use as the office of the Performing Arts Association, so that the annual expenses will be smaller."

Zheng Danrui felt that he had understood the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words, and planned to implement this matter after the meeting.

But as soon as Zheng Danrui finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu shook his head again.

"It's unreasonable for an association as big as the Performing Arts Association to not have its own independent office. There is no need to mention the renting of an office. This building must be built."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, everyone else at the scene showed surprised expressions.

He said before that he neither asked people to donate money nor planned to pay for it himself, so how on earth would this building be built?Is it possible that someone will donate?Is this possible?

"Don't look at me like that, what I mean is very simple, since this Performing Arts Association is for everyone, then I will take the lead in filming a movie, and then use the box office earned to build a building, and then everyone can contribute together force."

When Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, everyone at the scene suddenly realized.

"Brother Qiu, this method is good."

Wen Jun had a surprised expression on his face. He felt that Lin Daoqiu's decision was simply great, which was better than any donation or paying for it himself.

I have to say that Lin Daoqiu's decision was really good, and it was indeed a very cost-effective thing to build the building in this way.

In fact, the reason why Lin Daoqiu used this method to build the building was not because he didn't want to pay, but because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to truly break the barriers in the Xiangjiang film industry.

His idea of ​​establishing this Performing Arts Association before was to let the actors and staff of the Xiangjiang Film Industry communicate with each other, so this movie should be regarded as a precedent.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what you plan to shoot?"

Mai Jia seemed very interested, because this movie raised money for the Performing Arts Association, the star lineup must be very exaggerated, and it must be the movie with the most star lineup since the opening of Xiangjiang.

"Comedy, and it's a comedy with a large group of dramas. From the leading role to the supporting role, all stars must be used. You should try to spare time to play a guest role."

It's a pity that the Chinese New Year is over now, otherwise, if this film is filmed and released during the Chinese New Year, the box office will definitely be very good.

"It's good for comedy, it's good for comedy..."

Huang Baiming nodded at the side. Since Lin Daoqiu proposed it, he must have written the script of the play, and it was not their turn to intervene. At most, they would help.

But just when everyone thought that Lin Daoqiu was going to be the screenwriter of this drama, Lin Daoqiu shook his head again.

"The screenwriter of this play will be handed over to you, and I will only serve as the producer of this play."

Lin Daoqiu didn't bother to think about the script. After all, there were so many excellent screenwriters on the scene, and he didn't need them to write a good script.

I didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to let the screenwriter out, but the people present thought about it carefully, and felt that Lin Daoqiu's decision was actually not surprising.

After all, screenwriters are also a very important force in the formation of Xiangjiang film and television industry. If everyone can participate, it can be regarded as allowing them to do their part.

"How about it, Baiming, you will take the lead to form a screenwriting group, let everyone come up with suggestions, and write a good script."

Lin Daoqiu handed over the post of head of the screenwriting team to Huang Baiming.

Originally, everyone thought that Lin Daoqiu would let Wen Jun take the lead this time.

"I know Mr. Lin, I will make this matter perfect."

Although I don't know why Lin Daoqiu made such a decision, this is not something Huang Baiming needs to consider.

Now he just needs to think about how to combine many screenwriters to write a good script.

"My request is very simple. Although this is a group play, you can't make it up just to take care of the stars. You have to have a plot, and write it as if it were a movie you usually make. I will review the script when the time comes. If you can't pass it , then you can do it yourself.”
