Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1352
"Lin...Mr. Lin, if you say this, does it mean that this movie is handed over to me to shoot?"

Mai Dangxiong stared straight at Lin Daoqiu. He hadn't been excited for a long time, and now he looked completely different from the usual him.

"I can only say that you have a great chance, if you can do what I said before..."

Lin Daoqiu is somewhat inclined to let Mai Dangxiong direct the play, but the premise is that he must stand from the perspective of an executor.

For ordinary directors, if they have the opportunity to direct this kind of movie, they will definitely implement Lin Daoqiu's request [-]%.

Even a director with a personality like McDonald's, it is impossible not to be tempted when encountering such an opportunity.

Mai Dangxiong nodded while listening, he knew exactly what Lin Daoqiu was talking about.

The other party's intention was very simple, that is, let him follow the script when filming the film, and not add his personal ideas into it.

The part that Mai Dangxiong can create is the gun battle and action scenes, but he believes that Lin Daoqiu should not let him handle this part alone.

Although it is completely different from when I was filming in the past, I decided everything by myself, but the production cost of this film is ten times or even dozens of times higher than those films I made before.

"Mr. Lin, I understand, I hope to get this opportunity."

Mai Dangxiong hesitated for a while, but finally raised his head and looked at Lin Daoqiu seriously.

At this time, Xiangjiang is willing to invest so much money to make a film, except for Lin Daoqiu, there are really few people.

If I can't become the person that Lin Daoqiu favors, then I'm afraid I can only make movies with millions of dollars like before, which is absolutely what Mai Dangxiong doesn't want.

"Okay, if this is the case, then you can go to Baodao to prepare in advance. Once the script is completed, I will send it to you as soon as possible."

Lin Daoqiu asked Mai Dangxiong to go to Baodao to do the preparatory work for the film, which involved various aspects, and it would take at least one to two months. By then, the script of the new play would probably be written.

If everything goes well, the filming of this drama can be officially started from March to April next year.

…………

Fang Yihua's office was very quiet, and Zeng Lizhen was sitting there right now.

The news that Shen Dianxia and Zheng Shaoqiu joined Oriental TV, they learned about it through TV last night.

This is thanks to Huang Xizhao's good secrecy work. Apart from Lin Daoqiu and him, no one else knows about it.

When Shen Dianxia appeared on the live broadcast of "The Meeting of Heroes", it can be said that most of the people were taken aback.

"Before, Huang Xizhao sent someone to Baodao to talk to Sister Fei and Qiu Guan. Our people didn't receive the news. This is my negligence."

Although Zeng Lizhen said so, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with her.

When their contract expired and they wanted to develop Treasure Island, Lin Daoqiu hadn't bought Dongfang TV at that time, so Fang Yihua couldn't predict it.

But there was no remedy after that, it can only be said that Fang Yihua was too careless.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to take all the responsibility on yourself."

Although Fang Yihua said so, if Zeng Lizhen had said that this matter had nothing to do with her, Fang Yihua would have scolded her so badly by now.

The five producers plus Andy Lau, Miao Qiaowei, Tony Leung, Zheng Shaoqiu, and Lydia Shum can say that this time TVB suffered heavy losses from being poached by Dongfang TV.

Even Fang Yihua was still worried about whether there were any unexploded bombs inside the wireless, and if they came several times, how could the company bear it.

"From today onwards, you have to pay more attention to the movements of those people, and you have to speed up the contract renewal. The company can no longer lose personnel."

Fang Yihua has recently been poached by Oriental TV, which has given her a severe headache.

As Fang Yihua's right-hand man, Zeng Lizhen naturally knew what to do, but the problem was that the renewal of the contract was not going well.

And recently, many people are waiting and watching, especially those artists whose contracts are still about two years away.

The best way is to raise wages, but Zeng Lizhen is very clear that her boss will definitely save money if she can, even if she agrees to raise wages, the margin will be very small.

"Why don't you speak?"

Fang Yihua found that Zeng Lizhen didn't know what to think there, so she didn't say a word.

"Azhi's contract is about to expire in one year."

The Ah Zhi that Zeng Lizhen mentioned is the TVB's female star Zhao Yazhi at this time, and her contract will expire in a year.

Before Lin Daoqiu bought ATV, Zeng Lizhen approached Zhao Yazhi many times to discuss contract renewal, but she was prevaricated by the other party.

Zeng Lizhen even began to wonder whether Zhao Yazhi planned to leave TVB after the contract expired and switch to Oriental TV.

"What does she want?"

Fang Yathua asked with a sullen face, if even Zhao Yazhi had problems, Wireless is really in serious trouble this time.

"She said that now she just wants to spend more time with her baby."

"Then make a book appointment for her, as long as she stays in Wireless."

For Fang Yihua, as long as Zhao Yazhi does not switch to Dongfang TV, this will be the biggest victory for TVB.

But after she finished speaking, Zeng Lizhen showed a look of hesitation.

"Don't tell me she doesn't even want to sign the contract?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Zeng Lizhen nodded.

Fang Yihua was taken aback, if this is the case, it can only be said that Zhao Yazhi has already planned to leave TVB after the contract expires.

"I'll talk to her myself."

Fang Yihua felt that Zeng Lizhen couldn't defeat Zhao Yazhi, so he could only fight by himself.

So, not long after, Zhao Yazhi was called to Fang Yathua's office.

Unlike before, Fang Yihua greeted Zhao Yazhi with a smile on his face.

"Hello Miss Fang."

"Azhi is here, sit down quickly, I want something to drink."

"Just give me a glass of water."

In fact, Zhao Yazhi had already guessed when she was called that Fang Yathua probably wanted to discuss contract renewal with her.

But for Zhao Yazhi, all her focus is on her children now, and she is still considering the renewal of the contract.

"It's really hard for you to raise your child by yourself these years. In view of this, the company plans to offer you a loose contract extension so that you can spend more time with your child in the future."

Fang Yihua knew very well that money was not the biggest problem for Zhao Yazhi, and the salary increase did not have much incentive for her.

The only way to make Zhao Yazhi nod is to make a fuss about the looseness of time.
