Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1213 Still that drama?
Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan came to Lin Daoqiu's table together.

Since leaving ATV, McDonald's development in the film industry can be said to be smooth, even making movies like "Pretty Girl" can get a good box office, and he can even win the Academy Awards.

And Xiao Ruoyuan, who was with him, has also left ATV to hang out in the movie circle with Mai Dangxiong.

The combination of these two people made Lin Daoqiu suddenly think of some past memories, because in their hands, some very strange and influential movies will be born.

If Lin Daoqiu has an impression of the previous Academy Awards, at the [-]th Academy Awards, a movie made by McDonald was shortlisted for multiple awards, and he also won two Academy Awards.

However, because of Lin Daoqiu's appearance in this life, this drama was not filmed last year.

"Mr. Lin..."

Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan looked respectful in front of Lin Daoqiu. I'm afraid no one could have imagined that these two guys would merge into a terrible chemical agent when they came together.

"Good evening, both of you, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan with a smile, and invited them to sit down.

In fact, the reason why Mai Dangxiong brought Xiao Ruoyuan to Lin Daoqiu was very simple. He wanted to get a script from Lin Daoqiu, or he wanted to get a big production quota.

He has made many small films, but these films are not exciting enough for McDonald, he wants to make some interesting and profitable films.

In Xiangjiang, there are not many people who can provide such an opportunity, but Lin Daoqiu is definitely one of them.

"How is Mr. Mai doing recently?"

Lin Daoqiu greeted each other very politely, but he knew everything about McDonald.

"It's not too bad. After all, the situation of Xiangjiang Films has been very good in the past few years. As long as the films they make are not too bad, they can make money."

At this time, Xiangjiang's film market was indeed very hot, because after Run Run Shaw consolidated all the theaters, the overall box office rose a little bit more than before.

For directors like McDonald, this is indeed a great opportunity to make money by making movies.

However, McDonald is satisfied with these little money once or twice, and he actually has a bigger pursuit.

"Actually, the Xiangjiang film market will develop so well now, thanks to everyone's efforts."

Lin Daoqiu was also chatting with Mai Dangxiong all the time. Since the other party was unwilling to reveal the purpose of meeting him, Lin Daoqiu naturally would not pierce the window paper.

Xiao Ruoyuan, who was sitting next to him, was a little impatient. He saw that Mai Dangxiong and Lin Daoqiu were talking about trivial matters, so he felt that he had to remind Mai Dangxiong.

After all, there are not many opportunities to chat with Lin Daoqiu alone, so they must seize every opportunity.

Now it's not like when they were in Li's, Lin Daoqiu often appeared on the TV station. At that time, it was no problem to see him and chat with him.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu has become a Hong Kong movie tycoon. If you want to see him, you have to make an appointment, and you don't know how long you will have to wait to see him.

So at this time Xiao Ruoyuan deliberately coughed twice, and Mai Dangxiong immediately reacted.

Lin Daoqiu glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan, he knew that the other party was reminding Mai Dangxiong.

Being looked at by Lin Daoqiu like this, Xiao Ruoyuan also felt very embarrassed, he simply turned his head to other places, not daring to meet Lin Daoqiu's eyes.

"Just tell me what you have to do, it's not in your character to be so cowardly."

Lin Daoqiu was too lazy to continue going around in circles with the other party, after all, it was just wasting his time if he wasted so much.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I came to see you today because I hope you can help me write a script."

After Mai Dangxiong said this, he felt that his request was a bit too whimsical.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu didn't know how much to measure the price of a script, and the unit of money was not Hong Kong dollars but US dollars.

So now Lin Daoqiu basically doesn’t write scripts for others except for the movies he made himself. come over.

"Write a script for you?"

For Mai Dangxiong's request, Lin Daoqiu was not surprised at all, but it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to agree to this request from the other party.

"I don't have a clue now, I'm afraid I can't do anything about writing a script, and I'm going to Baodao to film a movie tomorrow, so I don't have time to write a script."

Lin Daoqiu is about to leave Xiangjiang and go to Baodao to film "Royal Senior Sister". At this time, he came to him for help. It can be said that Mai Dangxiong found a very inappropriate time.

But the strange thing is that even though Lin Daoqiu had already rejected them, it seemed that Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan did not show the slightest expression of disappointment. Instead, their faces seemed to be taken for granted.

If you look at it this way, Lin Daoqiu can probably guess that they came to him this time. In fact, asking for a script should not be their real purpose. Their real purpose should be to get a big investment from him.

"Since this is the case, it would be a pity, but to be honest with Mr. Lin, I still have a very good script in my hand. I hope Mr. Lin can help you read it."

Mai Dangxiong asked Lin Daoqiu to have a look, in addition to hoping that the other party can help to find out the gaps and make up for the omissions, but also hope that this script can attract Lin Daoqiu's attention, so that he can get a lot of film production fees.

In the past, when Li's was filming TV series, the budget was very tight, but even under such circumstances, McDonald still helped Li's make many excellent movies.

But now that he has set up his own film company, McDonald of course hopes that he will not have to live the life of the past.

"Let me take a look at it for you? Well... yes, bring it here."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think much, he knew that Mai Dangxiong was already ready to wait for him here, but Lin Daoqiu still pretended not to know.

After taking the script from Xiao Ruoyuan's hands, Lin Daoqiu looked down at the name on the cover, and then four words popped out of his mind, as expected.

The script that Mai Dangxiong wanted Lin Daoqiu to read was called "Provincial and Hong Kong Banner Soldiers", and Lin Daoqiu thought it was still that play.

But what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that the screenwriter of this play turned out to be Chen Xinjian.

It was the Chen Xinjian who was the host of the Golden Statue Awards just now and was formerly the Superintendent of the Criminal Investigation Division. This was a bit unexpected for Lin Daoqiu.
