Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 128 Arriving at Treasure Island for the First Time
After coming out of Songshan Airport, Chen Yulian seemed to feel very fresh about everything. This was her first time in Baodao, and she had only seen it on TV before.

Lin Daoqiu, Chen Yulian, Leslie Cheung, Mao Shunyun, martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong, screenwriters Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun.

There are also a lot of supporting actors who haven't come here in Xiangjiang. For the time being, there are only so many people in the crew.

At the beginning, Lin Daoqiu wanted to find actors from Taiwan to join, but because the TV series had to be broadcast live and played in Cantonese, it was impossible for those who could not speak Cantonese to use it, so he had to give up.

Although there are no other people, but this time Huang Xizhao has prepared a budget of 200 million Hong Kong dollars for Lin Daoqiu, which is equivalent to about 1500 million Taiwan dollars to film this drama.

The reason why he was so generous was because "Ip Man" made Li's full money.

Many sponsors have already settled on Li's next advertisement, and even won a lot of contracts for next year's advertisement.

That's why Huang Xizhao was willing to give Lin Daoqiu so much money to make this drama, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous.

Besides the budget of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, Huang Xizhao also changed the previous contract and added 50 yuan to Lin Daoqiu. Before he arrived in Baodao, he had already remitted the money to his account.

"So this is Treasure Island?"

Chen Yulian looked around excitedly.

Mao Shunyun beside her also felt that everything was very fresh.

"I heard that Taiwan's night market is very famous, how about we go to the night market together at night."

"Let's talk."

Leslie Cheung said this to Mao Shunyun, but the other party didn't seem to care much about him.

At first, Leslie Cheung didn't even think of Baodao to film a drama until he died, but a few days before his departure, he suddenly found Lin Daoqiu and desperately wanted to follow him to Baodao.

It was only later that Lin Daoqiu found out that Leslie Cheung had taken a fancy to Mao Shunyun and was pursuing him. When he learned that Mao Shunyun would also come to Taiwan for filming, he was eager to come together.

The experience is not as good as Leslie Cheung's hard work, and Lin Daoqiu is really short of actors, so he had no choice but to agree to bring Leslie Cheung along.

Just as Lin Daoqiu and the others walked out of the airport, two men in Chinese tunic suits walked up to them.

"Welcome everyone. I am Leng Yuanliang, the section chief of the China Film International Liaison Office. I am responsible for receiving everyone. This is my assistant Ma Mingchuan."

Although Ma Mingchuan also had a smile on his face, it seemed that his smile was a bit ugly, and he didn't seem to be a person who laughed often.

"Hello, Chief Leng..."

Lin Daoqiu shook hands with the two first, and when he shook hands with Ma Mingchuan, he found that the other party's hand strength was a bit strong. Although he had already restrained his strength, he could feel that this guy was definitely a practicing family.

It seems that this guy named Ma Mingchuan is definitely not from China Film, and his identity is definitely not simple.

After all, my identity is a bit sensitive, if it wasn't because Li's is a British TV station, I'm afraid I don't know how many troubles I would encounter if I came to Taiwan to film.

But it is precisely because of this, as long as Lin Daoqiu does not do anything out of line, I believe that he will enjoy a lot of convenience when filming, after all, China Film is owned by KMT.

There were already two cars parked on the side of the road, Leng Yuanliang invited Lin Daoqiu into their car, while the others were invited into another car.

After the car started, it drove towards the urban area. On the way, Leng Yuanliang and Lin Daoqiu seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally chatting with Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin's "Mr. Qian" broke Xiangjiang's box office record. Heroes are really young."

"Section Chief Leng is polite, it's just luck, and Ms. Fang is willing to let this movie be released in Shaw Cinemas, so it got such a good box office by mistake."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Leng Yuanliang immediately shook his head.

Although he is in charge of China Film's external liaison and reception, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand movies.

It is absolutely impossible to win such a high box office just because of good luck, that would be too nonsense.

"Mr. Lin is too modest. "Young Master Qian" is currently being screened in Taiwan. I have already watched it. It is really well shot."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know that "Master Qian" was being screened in Taiwan, and Jiahe didn't tell him about it.

And he was busy filming TV series recently, so he didn't try to understand these things.

Seeing Lin Daoqiu's surprised expression, Leng Yuanliang felt very strange that he didn't know about it. Isn't he the producer of "Master Qian"?
"Recently, I've been busy helping Li's TV series, so I don't have time to take care of other things."

Lin Daoqiu saw the puzzled expression of the other party, and he explained casually.

"I heard that "Ip Man" was shot very well. I believe it will be introduced to Baodao soon. By then, Mr. Lin's reputation in Baodao will be greatly improved."

"Chief Leng thinks highly of me. The success of "Ip Man" is not due to my credit. From the director to the actors and crew, they are the real contributors."

Although he didn't know why Leng Yuanliang kept praising himself, Lin Daoqiu could feel that this guy was definitely not just looking for something to talk to, he must have some kind of purpose.

"With Mr. Lin's talent, he will definitely become a film and television tycoon with international reputation in the future."

Being complimented and praised should be a happy thing, but Lin Daoqiu didn't feel any joy because of Leng Yuanliang's words.

And he glanced in the rearview mirror inadvertently, and found that Ma Mingchuan seemed to be staring at him the whole time.

"Thank you, Chief Leng, for your good words, but now I still want to make a good TV series, after all, there is a lot of pressure on TVB."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, a worried expression immediately appeared on his face.

In the ratings battle between Li's and TVB, Leng Yuanliang naturally wouldn't express his opinion easily. After all, Run Run Shaw and Baodao had a very good relationship, so he, a small section chief, naturally wouldn't express his opinion here.

"I believe that with Mr. Lin's ability, it is not difficult to make a good TV series. If there is any need for assistance, please contact me."

Although Leng Yuanliang is just a small section chief, he can do far more than Lin Daoqiu imagined.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Daoqiu and his party began to move their luggage into the hotel.

Before leaving, Leng Yuanliang gave Lin Daoqiu a business card and told him that the director of the liaison office would like to invite him and the crew to dinner in a few days.

Lin Daoqiu readily agreed. After all, the crew will be filming in Baodao for at least the next few months. If they offend the people in China Film at this time, then the film will definitely not be able to go on.

After watching Leng Yuanliang and the others leave, Lin Daoqiu turned and walked into the hotel.

"Young Master Qian" has already been screened in Treasure Island. If Leng Yuanliang hadn't told him, Lin Daoqiu would not have known about it until now.

"Let's go to the movies later. It is said that Xiangjiang's movie "Master Qian" is very good."

"I've also heard about that movie, but it's really hard to get tickets. It's said that you have to wait in line for hours."

When he was about to enter the elevator, Lin Daoqiu suddenly heard someone mention "Master Qian". Judging from their conversation, the box office should be pretty good.
