Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1492 Joint Guarantor

Zhang Jingyu actually suspected Lin Daoqiu, which surprised Li Zhengnan a little.

However, Li Zhengnan would never easily let others see what he was thinking, so his immediate reaction seemed calm.

"How can you see it."

What Li Zhengnan wanted to know was why Zhang Jingyu had such an idea. Could it be that he was aware of it during his contact with Lin Daoqiu?
"Report sir, with Lin Daoqiu's ability, I believe he can shoot this movie as long as he is given half a year, but now he has to delay it to a year or two, and it is very likely that he intends to grind foreign labor ..."

"Moreover, there have been some rumors outside recently, saying that the license of the TV station is about to be opened to the private sector. I suspect that these rumors are all released by Lin Daoqiu."

These are all guesses by Zhang Jingyu alone, and he can't produce any evidence at all.

But the first thing he said was really right. If Lin Daoqiu really put his best efforts into it, this "Alien Invaders" could indeed be filmed in half a year.

But it was obvious that Lin Daoqiu couldn't risk his life for Baodao, so there was no need to even think about it.

As for the second point Zhang Jingyu said, it is pure nonsense.

If this kind of thing gets out, it will have the worst impact on Lin Daoqiu. He will only reveal this kind of news to others when he is full and has nothing to do.

But Zhang Jingyu's nonsense is nonsense, but it was precisely his nonsense that aroused Li Zhengnan's suspicion of Lin Daoqiu.

Originally, Li Zhengnan was very suspicious, but after being told by Zhang Jingyu, he began to doubt Lin Daoqiu's intentions.

"Do you think Lin Daoqiu will not affect the quality of that drama other than doing foreign work?"

What Li Zhengnan was worried about was that Lin Daoqiu's foreign work was fine. If the drama dragged on for a long time and the quality was not good, then Li Zhengnan would definitely not spare Lin Daoqiu lightly.

"I don't know, but he didn't get what he wanted, so it's very possible that he became passive and sabotage."

In Zhang Jingyu's eyes, Lin Daoqiu has become a guy who doesn't do anything well.

It can be said that Li Zhengnan attaches great importance to the drama "Alien Invaders", because this drama is what they intend to use to reverse the adverse international influence on Baodao.

If Lin Daoqiu really didn't make the film well because he couldn't get the TV station's license, then Li Zhengnan felt that he might have to carefully consider whether he should support Lin Daoqiu to continue filming.

I had already promised him before, and Lin Daoqiu also agreed at the time, but I didn't expect this guy to backtrack, it's really disgusting.

Is his promise so unworthy of his trust?This made Li Zhengnan more and more angry.

"Sir, [-] million US dollars is too extravagant to make a film. Now that Lin Daoqiu is not paying attention to filming, I think it's better to cut some of the expenses first, so as not to lose more money when you get it."

Zhang Jingyu didn't support using [-] million US dollars to make a movie at the beginning, but now he has severe paranoia, so he began to encourage Li Zhengnan to take back the money and lower the production fee.

"You have had so much contact with Lin Daoqiu, do you think he will agree to cut expenses? Or is there any way you can persuade him?"

Li Zhengnan never thought of agreeing to spend [-] million U.S. dollars for Lin Daoqiu to make this movie, but because Song Yaolian sent someone to Changhong to make trouble, he happened to be hit by a reporter from the Associated Press.

Coupled with the influence of the previous Jiangnan case, Li Zhengnan made this decision. The purpose is to reverse the bad perception of Baodao in the world.

Unless Zhang Jingyun can convince Lin Daoqiu, it is impossible for Li Zhengnan to weaken the expenditure of that movie at this time.

"Subordinates can't."

Although Zhang Jingyu didn't have much contact with Lin Daoqiu, he already felt during the few contacts he had with Lin Daoqiu that that guy was definitely not someone who could be easily persuaded.

"During this period of time, you should focus on assisting Lin Daoqiu to make the film well, and avoid letting him slow down and affect the quality of this film."

Zhang Jingyu is not a person who was born in filmmaking. It can be said that he knows nothing about film and television dramas.

Li Zhengnan sent him to be a supervisor, which was definitely not a wise choice.

"Sir, I don't know anything about movies. Even if I stare at him every day, I'm afraid I can't see the tricks in it."

After finally becoming the director of the Information Bureau, he was actually sent to work as a supervisor for Lin Daoqiu. Zhang Jingyu still wanted to flex his muscles in the Information Bureau, so why would he want to be a supervisor.

Li Zhengnan raised his head and glared at Zhang Jingyu impatiently, but what he said was indeed true.

"Then what do you say? You can't just ignore it all the time, can you?"

"Sir, don't worry, although I don't understand, we can find someone with experience in this field to watch Lin Daoqiu. As the saying goes, an insider watches the door and an outsider watches the fun. It would be more suitable for an insider to do this kind of thing."

Zhang Jingyu is not stupid, he found a reasonable reason, at least it won't make Li Zhengnan feel disgusted with him.

Li Zhengnan also felt that Zhang Jingyu's suggestion was not bad, but the question now was who to find to be the supervisor.

"What do you think of Liao Xiangxiong?"

Liao Xiangxiong was originally the director of the film department, but was demoted because of Song Yaolian's affairs, and now he is working as a bench in the film department.

"Liao Xiangxiong? You recommend him to be the supervisor?"

For Zhang Jingyu's recommendation of Liao Xiangxiong, Li Zhengnan was a little surprised, because he remembered that Liao Xiangxiong seemed to be very close to Song Yaolian, otherwise he would not have been implicated because of Song Yaolian.

"Liao Xiangxiong is very professional, and he is also an internal member of us. Sending him to be the supervisor can be regarded as giving the best of his talents..."

"Besides, he was implicated in the last incident and is currently sitting on the bench in the film department. If we give him this chance, I believe he will definitely do his best to get this matter done."

Zhang Jingyu's thoughts are quite reasonable, unless Liao Xiangxiong doesn't want to continue to be an official, otherwise, if there is such an opportunity for him to take the blame and make meritorious service, it would be strange if he didn't make good use of it.

"Since you think he is feasible, then do as you say, but I can tell you, if something goes wrong then, not only will he have to leave, but you will also have to take responsibility."

Without giving Zhang Jingyu and the others a little pressure, Li Zhengnan did not believe that they would do their best to do things.

Sure enough, the expression on Zhang Jingyu's face changed suddenly when he heard what Li Zhengnan said, and he secretly began to regret that he shouldn't have come up with such a bad idea.

Not only did this not relieve himself of the pressure, it even became a joint guarantor, so where would he go to reason.
