Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1490
For Liao Kuncheng and Liu Zhenrong, it was not easy to gain Lin Daoqiu's trust.

If they can't make a performance that satisfies Lin Daoqiu, then they can only fish for moons in the water and get nothing in the end.

For Lin Daoqiu, at least for now, it is impossible to see how important Liao Kuncheng and Liu Zhenrong are.

The two of them were just an idle move by Lin Daoqiubu. After all, having a few more cards in his hand was never a bad thing for him, and he didn't have to use them as trump cards.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind giving them a little benefit if they can really come in handy at that time.

After all, compared to Baodao and Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang is obviously more important to Lin Daoqiu.

"correct,"

…………

Lin Daoqiu handed over all the preparations for "Alien Invaders" to Mai Dangxiong.

Originally, McDonald's came to Baodao to prepare for shooting a shootout film, and he even did a lot of preparation work in advance.

But unexpectedly, after arriving in Baodao, Lin Daoqiu suddenly changed his mind and wanted to make a science fiction movie.

Although this has greatly exceeded McDonald's expectations, the budget for this shooting is as high as [-] million US dollars, which has offset all his negative thoughts.

But this is the first time to make a sci-fi movie. Although there is no need to worry about the production cost, McDonald, who has no experience in this field before, is still very difficult in the early stage of preparation.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu asked Dykstra to send a special effects team to help with the preparations, so that Mai Dangxiong would not be blinded.

"How about it, is it very uncomfortable to make a science fiction film for the first time?"

When he saw Lin Daoqiu, Mai Dangxiong was so happy that he was about to cry.

During the absence of the other party, Mai Dangxiong encountered many problems that he could not solve almost every day.

Even with the help of the special effects team, he is often needed to make up his mind.

"Mr. Lin, when I first heard the budget of [-] million US dollars, I almost laughed like crazy, but when I started preparing for this film, I realized how difficult science fiction movies are."

"Sci-fi movies are not an easy subject, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, and money is spent like water, not to mention that you have never been exposed to sci-fi movies before. I can understand the pressure you will have."

If you are looking for someone to make a sci-fi movie, McDonald is definitely not one of Lin Daoqiu's first three options.

This time, it can only be said that Mai Dangxiong was just a coincidence, and Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to take it seriously, so he was asked to direct.

But in this case, Lin Daoqiu would never tell McDonald Xiongming, after all, it is better to keep such words in his heart.

Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu would not have left this movie with a budget of [-] million US dollars, went to the crew of "Joking about Qianlong", and then stayed outside with Pan Yingzi for more than ten days.

"Mr. Lin, do you really think I can make this movie well?"

It is not the first time that McDonald has doubted whether he can make this movie well. He has been asking himself this question for some time.

He had never been exposed to this subject before, and Mai Dangxiong really couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu trusted him so much. He didn't think he could make this science fiction film well.

"Of course I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted you to direct this play."

Unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu looked at him so differently. Mai Dangxiong never felt that Lin Daoqiu was so optimistic about him.

"Thank you Mr. Lin, I will try my best to do my best."

With the support of Lin Daoqiu, although Mai Dangxiong was under a lot of pressure, he thought he could still persevere.

Even if he has any deficiencies, as long as Lin Daoqiu is around, he can point them out immediately, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

While Lin Daoqiu was chatting with Mai Dangxiong, Zhang Jingyu suddenly appeared on the set with his secretary Xu Chengpeng.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't bother you."

Zhang Jingyu came to the set today to find Lin Daoqiu in order to learn about the preparation progress of the film "Alien Invaders".

A few days ago, Li Zhengnan also asked about the production progress of this drama. At that time, Zhang Jingyu only said that it was very smooth, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Although he was fooled by himself in the end, Zhang Jingyu didn't want to do it again, so he made a special trip to the set today to learn about the progress of the film's preparations.

"Director Zhang is really a rare visitor. What brought you here today?"

Lin Daoqiu smiled immediately after seeing Zhang Jingyu, and then stepped forward to shake hands with him.

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, as the director of the assisting unit of this drama, I naturally have to keep abreast of the production progress of this drama. After all, this drama is of great importance, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes."

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening, and then led Zhang Jingyu inside.

After almost a month, the set on the Treasure Island side has been built in a rough scale, a modern international coalition headquarters, and some aircraft models, all of which are masterpieces of Magic Studio.

And just spent more than 300 million US dollars on the international coalition headquarters and those models.

While listening to Lin Daoqiu's introduction, Zhang Jingyu felt his heart bleed, 300 million US dollars was spent like this, which is simply too wasteful.

Originally, Zhang Jingyu was thinking about letting Lin Daoqiu save some money. In the end, it was best not to spend all the [-] million US dollars, but to keep some.

But in this case, Zhang Jingyu could only think about it and let it go. After all, the money was not Lin Daoqiu's own, so how could he spend it sparingly.

"This is just the beginning, and there will be more and more novel models and props later, and those are where the real money is spent."

Zhang Jingyu didn't expect that what he saw now was just the beginning, so much money was spent on these inexplicable places, which made Zhang Jingyu really incomprehensible.

"Mr. Lin, is it really useful to spend so much budget on these models and props?"

Zhang Jingyu had to express his worries to Lin Daoqiu. After all, in his opinion, those models looked like toys. Do they really need to spend so much money to get them?
"Director Zhang, you don't understand this. Don't underestimate these models and props. When the time comes, their effects in the movie will definitely far exceed your imagination."

"Director Zhang, you can imagine how excited the audience will be when seeing these alien spaceships when this movie is released abroad. I can't wait for it myself."

Lin Daoqiu is a professional, and he is also an internationally renowned film tycoon. Since he himself said so, Zhang Jingyu dare not question anything. After all, he is just a layman, and he is not qualified to dictate to Lin Daoqiu in terms of movies. .
