Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 142 Invitation from the Ancient Dragon
After seeing off Golden Harvest's manager, Lin Daoqiu returned to his chair and sat down.

Needless to say, Zou Wenhuai's demeanor, but unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu's ambition is beyond Zou Wenhuai's imagination.

If he just wants to be a good producer, or a good director, then casting for Golden Harvest is definitely a good choice.

Because the other party can provide him with a large amount of funds for his filming, can help him hire the best actors, and even the box office split is negotiable.

But these were not what Lin Daoqiu wanted, so it was doomed from the beginning that he would not become a member of Jiahe or Shaw Brothers.

Looking at the 1000 million yuan check in his hand, Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to put it in the bank to earn interest.

Before coming to Treasure Island, A Dong had successfully become He Yi's seat, and the two had met once after that.

The other party told Lin Daoqiu that he had already disposed of part of Heyi's assets, and initially raised 500 million yuan.

But even so, it is still far from Lin Daoqiu's goal of 5000 million.

And although Lin Daoqiu now has 1000 million in his hands, it is impossible for him to invest all of the 1000 million. After all, he still has his own things to do, and he can't invest all the money in Heyi. go.

He can only invest 500 million yuan at most, but after this calculation, the gap may be more than 2000 million yuan, so he must find a partner.

Among the people Lin Daoqiu knew, Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua were the ones who could take out the money, but he never thought of cooperating with them on this matter.

Eliminating these two people, Lin Daoqiu suddenly found that he didn't even know a rich person in Xiangjiang, which shocked him.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, which woke up Lin Daoqiu who was thinking about something.

Opening the door, she found Wen Jun and a stranger standing outside the door.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know the other party, and when they met, he had a puzzled expression on his face.

"My lord Wang Tiancheng, the boss of Baodao Tiancheng Film Company."

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't know him, since he was brought by Wen Jun, he invited Wang Tiancheng into the room.

After sitting down, Wang Tiancheng smiled and explained to Lin Daoqiu: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I didn't come to ask you to make a film. Gu Long and I are good friends. He heard that you have arrived in Baodao, so he wanted to treat you to dinner. "

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that it was Gu Long who was looking for him. You must know that Gu Long is the martial arts master he admires the most. It can be said that he grew up watching his novels and movies since he was a child.

If it were not for his premature death due to excessive drinking, I am afraid that Gu Long could still write many wonderful novels.

"Mr. Lin?"

After realizing that he had finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu lowered his head and did not speak. Wang Tiancheng thought that the other party did not plan to attend the appointment.

"It's nothing, since it's Gu Long's invitation, I have no reason to refuse."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu was thinking that the "Lotus Fighting Hegemony" he was filming copied the plot from "Meteor Butterfly Sword". It is inevitable that he would feel very embarrassed to meet Gu Long at this time.

However, Wang Tiancheng didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Lin Daoqiu agreed so readily, he immediately beamed with joy.

Gu Long chose a well-known hotel in downtown Baodao as the place to treat his guests.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Wang Tiancheng arrived with Lin Daoqiu as promised.

Pushing open the door of the box, Lin Daoqiu found that Gu Long was sitting inside, and besides him, there were two people he didn't know.

When Lin Daoqiu just walked in, Gu Long didn't say a word, but first poured three glasses of wine, and then placed them in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"If I fine you three glasses of wine now, are you convinced?"

At the wine table, there was a saying that he would be fined three cups for being late, but Lin Daoqiu arrived as promised, so it stands to reason that Gu Long shouldn't be punished.

But Lin Daoqiu just smiled, of course he knew why Gu Long punished these three glasses of wine, it was because "Lotus Contest" copied his "Meteor Butterfly Sword"

"You can punish me, but I don't have to drink."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he walked to the seat next to Gu Long and sat down.

Gu Long frowned slightly when he heard it, he believed that Lin Daoqiu would understand what he said, so why didn't he drink it?

"Originally I was going to shoot "Swordsman", but after Mr. Cha read the script, he found that I changed Dongfang Invincible into a woman. He thought it was inappropriate, so he refused to let me shoot."

Gu Long had heard about this matter, but what does it have to do with Lin Daoqiu copying his "Meteor Butterfly Sword"?
"I will double the money, but I can't drink these three glasses of fine wine?"

For Gu Long, writing novels and making movies is indeed for making money, but he is not a person who only lives for money.

So when Lin Daoqiu proposed to pay him double the copyright fee, Gu Long immediately flew into a rage.

"You kid thought I wanted money, that's why I brought you here?"

Gu Long was already 40 years old, 22 years older than Lin Daoqiu now. It was absolutely fine to call Lin Daoqiu a boy, not to mention that the other party copied his works.

"Of course not. The reason why I have to pay is because I used your work. I didn't inform you that it was already very wrong. Now that you find out, I should have been punished."

"You do have to give the money, but you don't need a double share. You just need to accompany me to drink the wine tonight. I can forget about this matter, and you can make any novel of mine you want in the future."

Gu Long paused for a moment, and then continued: "But if you don't drink, then neither you nor Li's will ever try to cooperate with me, and it's useless for you to intercede with anyone."

He is definitely not joking, a man of temperament like Gu Long can say what he can do.

Lin Daoqiu has already been blacklisted by Jin Yong, if he is also blacklisted by Gu Long, it will be a headache.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think there was anything wrong with drinking normally, but it was really too difficult to drink well with Gu Long.

Maybe when the time comes, I'll already be drunk, and the other party hasn't enjoyed it yet.

"I'm definitely not as good as Mr. Gu Long in terms of alcohol capacity, so I'm sure I can't drink this wine well."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head, and said something that surprised everyone present.

Didn't he say that to make Gu Long list him as a refusal to deal with him?And not only him, even Li's will be implicated by him.

Originally, Wang Tiancheng and the others wanted to smooth things over, but they were stared back by Gu Long's stare. Usually, he basically doesn't listen to anyone, especially these drinking buddies.

"I don't like drinking with people who don't talk to me. Mr. Lin, please go back."

Gu Long made a gesture of invitation, as long as Lin Daoqiu leaves, they will probably never see each other again.

But the strange thing is that after Gu Long finished speaking, he found that Lin Daoqiu was still sitting there and didn't move. It seemed that he didn't intend to leave.
