Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1393 Greedy Broker
"Hello, I want to sign up."

A young man with an ordinary appearance handed over the registration form for Dongshi Artists Training Class to the front desk staff.

The smiling staff took the registration form and were about to put it away, but suddenly found two words on it that were particularly eye-catching.

The other party's work unit filled in TVB, Clerk.

It is really unbelievable that TVB clerks came to sign up for East TV's artist training class.

But since the other party is not a TVB artist, they still have to accept this registration form according to the regulations.

"Hello, the registration form has been accepted, please wait for the interview notice."

The young people immediately nodded their thanks, then turned and left the TV station.

After he left, the staff couldn't help but took out his registration form and took another look.

"Li Yaoxiang..."

Originally influenced by his father's "reading good books and sitting in an air-conditioned room", he hired a clerk for his first job.

But after staying in TVB for a while, Li Yaoxiang felt that he should be a director instead of a clerk.

But at this time, the Xiangjiang Academy for Performing Arts was still under construction, and Li Yaoxiang had no choice but to think of other ways. Just at this time, he saw the advertisement of Dongshi Artists Training Class, so he came to sign up directly.

There are many young people like Li Yaoxiang, including Zhou Haimei, Guo Zhenghong, Jiang Hua, Liming, Zhang Min, Luo Jialiang and so on.

If it was Lin Daoqiu who came to choose, just seeing the names of these people, I believe that the number of candidates has already been determined.

The registration for Dongshi Artists Training Class is still in progress, Lin Daoqiu has no plan to join in now, he has already handed over the stall to Huang Xizhao and Zeng Lizhen.

But when the registration is over and it's time to screen the students, Lin Daoqiu will pay a little attention.

After all, Lin Daoqiu plans to second all the directors and screenwriters under New Oriental to help.

Otherwise, with Dongshi's ability, I don't know how long it will take to finish the first round of interviews.

…………

"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you again."

Tom Cruise flew from the United States to Xiangjiang to meet Lin Daoqiu for the movie "Wonder Boy".

At this time, he was already well-known in the film industry. The "Top Gun" that made him famous will not be released in a few months, so Tom Cruise can only be regarded as a newcomer actor at this time.

"I'm also very happy. It's really embarrassing to let you fly here from the United States, but this time I believe that your long-distance trip will give you a very good return."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he took out the script of "Splash".

After many revisions by Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming, the final script was handed over to Lin Daoqiu.

Although Lin Daoqiu is still not very satisfied with some parts, the film "Ghost Warrior" has finally decided to start filming, and some small details can be revised slowly in the future. This is not in a hurry.

And now that the script has been written, the leading role is naturally the top priority of this play.

Lin Daoqiu called Tom Cruise from the United States with one phone call, but the other party was very obedient, and he set off directly the next day, and then rushed to Xiangjiang.

"This movie is called "Extraordinary Men". It is a blockbuster special effects movie. I want to make this movie a sequel, and you will be the leading actor in this series of movies."

If it wasn't for being the leading actor, Tom Cruise wouldn't have made a special trip to fly from America to Xiangjiang to meet Lin Daoqiu.

So when he got the script and heard that it was a blockbuster with special effects, Tom Cruise immediately showed a happy expression on his face.

"Mr. Lin, will there be a lot of action scenes in this?"

Lin Daoqiu nodded and replied.

"In addition to the special effects, the selling point of this movie is also the exciting action scenes, so before shooting, you have to go through two months of physical fitness and kung fu training."

Unlike previous action movies, Lin Daoqiu's requirements for Tom Cruise are not high. After all, a large part of the action scenes in this movie will be synthesized with special effects.

Only part of the action scenes need to be completed by Tom Cruise himself, but it should not be too difficult for him.

As long as he undergoes rigorous training, Lin Daoqiu feels that he will be fully competent in terms of Tom Cruise's skills.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will stay in Xiangjiang for these two months and train hard, trying to achieve the effect you want as soon as possible."

Tom Cruise agreed without even thinking about it, and he didn't even discuss the salary. After all, it is not an easy task to become Lin Daoqiu's leading actor.

Moreover, blockbuster special effects movies have become more and more popular in Hollywood in recent years, and being able to participate in such movies is a great experience in itself.

Not to mention that after finishing this play, Tom Cruise thinks he can be among the ranks of well-known actors.

If it's another movie, even after ten movies, it's impossible for Lin Daoqiu's one movie to have a big effect on him.

"Your salary for this film is 100 million US dollars. I believe you and your agent should be very satisfied with this price."

Tom Cruise's agent was sitting next to him, and when he heard Lin Daoqiu's salary of 100 million US dollars, his face immediately showed a happy expression.

Originally, Tom Cruise's salary at this time was between 50 and [-], but Lin Daoqiu directly increased him by two or three times as soon as he opened his mouth.

The agent who was thinking about competing with Lin Daoqiu for the salary before began to hesitate.

As long as he participates in this play, Tom Cruise's salary will definitely continue to be raised by then.

But if you don't fight for it, then as Tom Cruise's agent, it seems a bit ineffective.

"Mr. Lin, this salary is indeed very good, but I think it is possible to add another 50. After all, this drama requires two months of training, and the filming of this drama may delay a lot of time, so add 50 more." I think the remuneration is very reasonable.”

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that after Tom Cruise agreed, there would be no problem.

But he didn't expect that the manager next to him would go so far as to cause trouble, he really didn't know himself.

"Don't know what to call it?"

Lin Daoqiu turned to look at Tom Cruise's agent and asked with a smile.

"Just call me Jess."

"Tom, go down and rest first, I want to have a chat with Mr. Jess alone."

After Lin Daoqiu said this, Tom Cruise immediately realized that something bad was going to happen.

"Jess, the salary is already very good, stop talking nonsense."

"Don't worry Tom, I'm sure, you go to rest first, I will have a good chat with Lin Daoqiu."

It seemed that Jess, the greedy manager, seemed very sure. He felt sure that he could persuade Lin Daoqiu to increase his money.
