Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1265
When Zhang Wanting told Yu Cheng about her affairs, the other party's reaction was as calm as water.

An investment of 100 million, if placed seven or eight years ago, can be said to be a lot of money.

But at this time, the Xiangjiang film industry can only be regarded as a small production if it costs several million to make a movie.

It's not that Yu Teng doubted Zhang Wanting's ability, it's just that it's a bit too difficult to make a movie with 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and it's filmed abroad.

At this time, the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars is 1 U.S. dollar to 7.8 Hong Kong dollars. Based on this conversion, the filming cost of Zhang Wanting's film is only about 14 U.S. dollars.

Even if it's not a commercial film, if such a fee is placed in Xiangjiang, it will only be enough for one leading actor's salary.

"If you want to make a movie with 100 million Hong Kong dollars, it is not at all difficult."

Although Yu Teng has never directed a film herself, she knows as much about the film industry as a professional.

At least in her opinion, in today's film world, whether it's Hong Kong or Hollywood, a simple low-cost production needs at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars to start, and this is still the lowest level.

"I know it's difficult, but we've calculated carefully, and we can make this movie with only 100 million yuan."

Zhang Wanting didn't dare to think about hiring a big-name actor at all, she was already satisfied if she could make the movie.

After pondering for a while, Yu Cheng said something slowly.

"I think otherwise, I'll take you to meet someone. If the script is feasible, then you don't need to worry about any financial issues for this movie."

At first, Zhang Wanting didn't know who Yu Cheng was going to take her to meet, but since the other party said so, she was of course willing to accompany Yu Cheng on this trip.

"But this movie is a feature film. I have met many film investors and bosses before, and they shook their heads when they saw the script..."

Zhang Wanting has been rejected many times, and she is worried that this time she will repeat the previous overturn.

But after Yu Cheng heard what Zhang Wanting said, she just smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, this person is completely different from other film investors. In his eyes, as long as the script is well written, it doesn't matter what type it is."

Yu Teng has been with Lin Daoqiu for several years, and Yu Teng knows Lin Daoqiu more or less.

From action to comedy to literary and drama films, and even popular special effects films, as long as it is an excellent script, Lin Daoqiu will never miss it.

What Yu Cheng is worried about now is that if the name of Zhang Wanting's play is shown to Lin Daoqiu, it may not be appropriate.

After all, the name of this play is "Illegal Immigrants", and Lin Daoqiu only swims in Xiangjiang.

Although he has already obtained Xiangjiang's ID card, he still swims here. If he sees the name of this movie, will Lin Daoqiu be unhappy?

"Wanting, before I go, I want to discuss something with you."

Zhang Wanting didn't know what Yu Cheng wanted to discuss with herself, but she nodded anyway.

"It's like this. Can you change the name of this play? It's a little inappropriate for the person I'm going to take you to see with the title of the current script."

It's not easy for Yu Teng to speak too clearly, but she thinks Zhang Wanting should be able to understand what she means.

"Is he an illegal immigrant too?"

Zhang Wanting immediately understood what Yu Teng meant. After all, the name of this play is "Illegal Immigrants", which can easily make people think of it.

When asked by Zhang Wanting, Yu Cheng didn't know what to say. After all, with Lin Daoqiu's current status, he would never know it, and no one would dare to talk about it.

But if I take this "Illegal Immigrant" to ask Lin Daoqiu for investment, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings, which may not be very good.

"Old Yu, if this is the case, then I can't agree. The name of this play was chosen by me and a few classmates. It fits the play very well, and it can also represent what the play is about. Changing it I can't agree to the title."

Zhang Wanting was very persistent. If she was asked to change the name of the play, she really couldn't agree to Yu Cheng's request.

Seeing Zhang Wanting's persistence, Yu Teng didn't know what to say. On the one hand, she really wanted to help the other party, but on the other hand, she was worried that Lin Daoqiu would misunderstand herself.

"Although I don't know who you are taking me to meet, the other person should be a successful person. If he is really such a small belly, he will not have the current achievements."

These are just Zhang Wanting's guesses, she still doesn't know that it is Lin Daoqiu that Yu Teng is going to take her to see.

Yu Cheng listened, and then carefully chewed Zhang Wanting's words, maybe it was because of his being too cautious, maybe Lin Daoqiu didn't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, I'm going to take you to see Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin. I hope it will be the same as what you said. Mr. Lin won't be disgusted by the name of this drama."

Originally, Zhang Wanting, who was still confident before, was suddenly confused when she heard that Lin Daoqiu was going to take her to see Yu Cheng.

However, it is too extravagant to go to Lin Daoqiu for a movie with an investment of 100 million yuan.

Originally, Zhang Wanting thought that Yu Teng took her to meet just ordinary movie investors or bosses of ordinary movie companies, but she never expected that it would be Lin Daoqiu.

"Let's go, Mr. Lin should be in the office now, bring the script."

Once Yu Cheng made a decision, he would not shrink back, while Zhang Wanting nodded blankly, then took the bag, and followed Yu Cheng to New Oriental.

Yu Cheng and Zhang Wanting were lucky. When they came to find Lin Daoqiu, the other party happened to be processing documents in the company.

As soon as Fang Jinsheng saw Yu Teng walking over with a girl, he immediately got up and greeted her.

"Assistant Fang, is Mr. Lin convenient now?"

"Miss Yu, Mr. Lin is inside now, who is this?"

Fang Jinsheng habitually wanted to know who Yu Teng would bring to see Lin Daoqiu, so that he could inform Lin Daoqiu.

"This is Miss Zhang Wanting Zhang, a top student in the film department of New York University."

Yu Cheng briefly introduced Zhang Wanting's identity to Fang Jinsheng.

But when Yu Cheng finished speaking, the expression on Fang Jinsheng's face suddenly became very strange.

Because just yesterday, Lin Daoqiu asked him to check the information of Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Wanting, but he only found the information of Guan Jinpeng, and did not find out that there was Zhang Wanting in the Xiangjiang film industry.

Unexpectedly, Yu Cheng brought Zhang Wanting to find Lin Daoqiu today, which is really an incredible thing.

But the shock was the shock, Fang Jinsheng hurried in to report to Lin Daoqiu.
