Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1351 Over [-] Million Production Costs
Although their hearts were like turbulent waves, Mai Jia and Teddy Robin had calm expressions on their faces.

Just listen to the boss's gossip as a story. If you show extra interest in front of the other party, you are simply asking for your own death.

"I can't fault Mr. Lin's casting. Needless to say, Xu Guanjie has played many roles of this type before, and Wang Zuxian is young and beautiful, and his acting skills are also very good. The effect of their partner must be very good."

Teddy Robin spoke first, and he patted Lin Daoqiu's flattery without any hesitation.

Maijia wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but to be honest, putting aside the matter of Lin Daoqiu and Wang Zuxian aside, it is not a very strange casting choice for Xu Guanjie and Wang Zuxian to play a play together.

"Director Mai, what do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned his head to Maijia.

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, Maijia was so frightened that she nodded immediately.

"I think Mr. Lin's decision is correct. If the plot of this drama is well arranged, the box office will definitely not be low."

It can be said that it is very difficult for an urban love movie to get a high box office.

So New Art City will definitely not shoot movies like pure love in Xiangjiang.

If they really want to shoot, they will add some other elements to the movie, such as comedy or something.

"Although I just said that this movie is an urban love movie, it doesn't mean that it should be made into an ordinary love movie. You can add more elements of comedy and inspiration to it."

If Lin Daoqiu was looking for someone to shoot a pure love urban love theme, his first choice would definitely not be these people in New Art City.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted in the two dramas "The Untouchable Lover" and "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts".

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will pay more attention to this aspect."

Maijia and Teddy Robin originally thought that Lin Daoqiu was going to make a movie with a typical urban love theme, but they didn't expect him to have that kind of plan.

Adding some other elements into the movie is exactly what New Art City is good at, and this can be regarded as maximizing their role.

"This movie doesn't need to be too rushed, it can be filmed slowly, and work slowly and meticulously."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want Mai Jia and Teddy Robin to be quick shooters and finish filming the movie in a month or two, although they could do it.

For Lin Daoqiu's request, both Mai Jia and Teddy Robin felt that it was the other party's idea of ​​striving for excellence, so they agreed without much hesitation.

"Let's talk about the plot next."

Although Lin Daoqiu decided to let New Art City do the filming, he didn't need the final plot to deviate too much from the previous film.

Ajie and the other two supporting actors were fired at the same time because of a small car accident.

Afterwards, by chance, the three of them came to work in the same factory, because the factory director and workshop director were nepotism and turned black and white.

In order to protect his subordinates, he wanted the three of them to take the lead and expel them from the factory. At this time, the heroine stood up to help and let the three of them stay in the factory.

"You guys have to think about how to make up the next plot. The final ending is that Ajie and the heroine come together."

In fact, even if Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, with the abilities of Mai Jia and Teddy Robin, they could still write this play.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu doesn't know what kind of movie will be made when it is shot.

Teddy Robin and Mai Jia have memorized all the plots that Lin Daoqiu just said, and it will be much easier to create on this basis.

"It is estimated that I have already gone abroad to film after you finished writing the script. If you have any problems, you can figure it out yourself. There is really no way to decide to call me."

Lin Daoqiu directly threw the play to New Arts City to deal with.

Maijia and Teddy Robin don't think it's a big deal, after all, their job is to film.

And although Lin Daoqiu just talked about part of the plot, there are still many things that can be created later.

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry, we will carefully craft the script when we go back, please rest assured."

Lin Daoqiu has already handed over the dominance of this drama to them. As for what Mai Jia and the others are going to do, Lin Daoqiu will not interfere with them.

Anyway, for Lin Daoqiu, this film is to allow Wang Zuxian to have scenes to film in this blank time, so that she will not let her waste time.

But if possible, Lin Daoqiu naturally hopes that the box office of this drama will not be too low, otherwise it will not be very good.

After Maijia and Teddy Robin left, Lin Daoqiu was about to deal with the work at hand, when Fang Jinsheng knocked on the door suddenly and entered the room.

"Madron Xiong is outside, he said he wants to see you."

When Lin Daoqiu heard what Fang Jinsheng said, he slowly raised his head.

I chatted with McDonald for a while last night, but it seems that he is the kind of person who sticks to his principles.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that he would have to think for a long time before he could figure it out, but he didn't expect that he would figure it out after a day, which is quite interesting.

"Bring him in."

Soon, Fang Jinsheng brought Mai Dangxiong into Lin Daoqiu's office.

Not long after Mai Dangxiong sat down, he directly explained his purpose to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, I have thought about it seriously. What you said last night was good. You must know how to distinguish between making your own movies and making other people's movies."

Lin Daoqiu nodded as he listened. Of course it would be best for Mai Dangxiong to figure it out. If he couldn't figure it out, it would be difficult for the two of them to cooperate.

"Actually, this is not a bad thing for you, after all, such opportunities are rare."

At this time, except for the box office of "Godzilla", the highest box office of Xiangjiang's movie is about 6000 million.

But the investment of Lin Daoqiu's film next year will definitely exceed 6000 million.

Although McDonald had previously made a movie with an investment of tens of millions, compared with Lin Daoqiu's movie, the gap is not a star.

Many people will never have such opportunities in their lifetime, so Lin Daoqiu does not want McDonald to miss these opportunities because of his principles.

You must know that if McDonald can make a good film next year, then Lin Daoqiu will have a lot of movies in his hands, and the production cost at that time will not be in the tens of millions. But as high as hundreds of millions.

"This movie is a big-budget shootout movie in cooperation with Baodao. The other party will try their best to assist us in all aspects, so what you have to consider besides the script is the issue of the scale of the movie."

"A conservative estimate is that the production cost of this drama is between 8000 million and [-] million Hong Kong dollars."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Mai Dangxiong, who was already mentally prepared, was still stunned by the production fee mentioned by the other party.
