Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1348 A Little Greedy
"Where did you go? I sent someone to look for you just now, but you couldn't find it."

Before the premiere, the main cast and crew of "Heroes" will take the stage for a short interview.

Seeing that the time was almost up and Wang Zuxian still hadn't seen anyone, Mai Jia became anxious, but fortunately she finally came back before going on stage.

"I'm sorry Director Mai, I just went to the bathroom, I'm sorry."

Naturally, Wang Zuxian would not tell the other party that she just went upstairs with Lin Daoqiu, so she could only make up an excuse.

"Forget it, next time you encounter such a situation, you have to say hello first, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Maijia didn't think too much, but just reminded Wang Zuxian.

Guan Zhilin on the side didn't even look at her, as if she regarded Wang Zuxian as air.

After all, for Guan Zhilin, although there is no real evidence between Wang Zuxian and Lin Daoqiu to prove that they are tricky, she has serious suspicions, and Guan Zhilin will naturally not give her a good face.

If it weren't for the need to attend the premiere together this time, she wouldn't sit with Wang Zuxian.

Moreover, from the hotel to the scene, Guan Zhilin didn't even say a word to Wang Zuxian. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there must be something wrong.

On the contrary, Anita Mui is not as indifferent as Guan Zhilin, she is very friendly to Wang Zuxian.

"Xiaoxian, your Cantonese is so good, you must have worked hard."

Before going on stage, Anita Mui and Joey Wong chatted briefly.

"Sister Mei is over the top. I have always taken Cantonese classes because the teacher taught me well. In fact, I still have a lot to learn."

"Where is it? I didn't praise you. Your acting skills are much better than mine. I should learn from you."

Hearing that Anita Mui and Joey Wang were chatting happily, Rosamund Kwan snorted directly.

Although the voice was not loud, Anita Mui and Joey Wang could hear clearly.

Mai Jia can probably guess that the reason why Guan Zhilin hates Wang Zuxian so much is mostly because of the rumors about her and Lin Daoqiu.

But as to whether or not this happened, Maijia was actually not very clear.

"It's time for us to take the stage."

At this time, the host on the stage was already calling the names of Mai Jia and others.

At this time, in the box upstairs, besides Lin Daoqiu, there was another person.

""Provincial and Hong Kong Banner Soldiers" is well shot, and it is considered a good work in all aspects."

Not long after Wang Zuxian left, Mai Dangxiong came to find him.

The first part of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" broke tens of millions at the box office in the previous life.

And in this life, through the careful planning of Mai Dangxiong, tens of millions have been invested in the production cost alone.

The final box office benefited from the integration of Xiangjiang Cinemas, which achieved a good result of 500 million.

Although there is no way to get back the cost of this drama in Xiangjiang, even if you can't make much money by selling it, you can definitely get back the capital.

It's just that the tens of millions of investments failed to make any money in the end, which made McDonald feel a little discouraged.

"In fact, judging from the subject matter of this drama, the box office of 500 million is already very high. It's just that too much production costs have led to this situation in the end."

It is difficult for a movie with the theme of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" to attract people of all ages to buy tickets at the same time, so Lin Daoqiu thinks that McDonald should be satisfied with the current results.

"If the vote was 500 million, I would be very happy to get the current box office, but now the show hardly makes any money, which makes it hard for me to accept."

McDangxiong was still full of confidence at first, and felt that although a film produced with such a high investment could not be said to be a big hit, it would definitely be no problem to make money.

It's just that he didn't expect the final result to be quite different from what he had imagined.

Originally, Mai Dangxiong increased the production fee of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" to 1000 million, just to make a movie that made Lin Daoqiu look at him differently.

In this way, Lin Daoqiu's new play next year will have the qualifications to compete with other directors.

But now, compared with before, it can be said that McDonald's confidence in competing for the director has been greatly weakened.

"Filming is like this. No one knows whether the movie you make will make money. Confidence is one aspect, but the final result is almost always unexpected. You don't need to think too much."

Lin Daoqiu felt that Mai Dangxiong was thinking too much. Without the assistance of special effects technology, it is already a remarkable thing that the gunfight film can achieve such a result.

"Mr. Lin, I want to know if I have the possibility to compete in next year's new play."

Mai Dangxiong went straight to the point. After all, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" has already been filmed, and now he wants to know what Lin Daoqiu's decision is, or whether he has a chance of winning.

Hearing Mai Dangxiong's question, Lin Daoqiu just smiled slightly.

The new drama that Mai Dangxiong mentioned is the second one that will be co-operated with Baodao next year, and the protagonist of this drama is Brigitte Lin, which has been agreed before.

Since it is a blockbuster, no matter in terms of production level and specifications, it will definitely be better than this year's "Royal Senior Sister".

If McDonald is allowed to direct this film, there will definitely be many hot scenes, and he has enough experience in this area.

It's just that Mai Dangxiong was too crazy when he was filming. Lin Daoqiu was worried that if something bad or bad happened, it would be a big trouble.

"New Oriental will open a lot of new movies next year, and there will also be a lot of action movies and shootout movies, such as "Royal Senior Sister"."

The first part of "The Royal Senior Sister" has been released, and the box office can be said to be very satisfactory, not only in Hong Kong, but also overseas.

Even Michelle Yeoh stood out and was hailed by the media as the top female star in Xiangjiang who will succeed Brigitte Lin in the future.

For the movie "Royal Senior Sister", it is impossible for McDonald to say that he is not envious. After all, the production cost alone is at least 3000 million yuan.

Coupled with the success of this year's "Royal Senior Sister", Mai Dangxiong feels that it is absolutely no problem to get a production fee of 4000 to [-] million yuan for the sequel of this movie. This is probably the most expensive movie he has ever made in his life. .

"Mr. Lin, besides "Sister Royal", there should be other movies, right?"

Although "Royal Senior Sister" sounds very tempting, but Mai Dangxiong felt that Lin Daoqiu should have something else that he didn't show.

Lin Daoqiu looked at Mai Dangxiong, then shook his head with a smile, this guy is a bit greedy.

If it were someone else, he would have been able to get the director of "Sister Royal", and he would have laughed crookedly. This guy is not satisfied yet.

"Yes, there is, and the production fee is higher than "Sister Royal", but...you are not suitable to direct this film."

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, Mai Dangxiong felt very unconvinced.
