Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1496 Sky-high salary

Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, Kim Basinger, Brooke Shields, these famous Hollywood stars were listed by Lin Daoqiu on the star list of "Alien Invaders".

Liao Xiangxiong was so happy that he couldn't help laughing just from Lin Daoqiu's mouth about the cast members he would invite.

If "Alien Invaders" is finally filmed according to the lineup Lin Daoqiu said, then this movie will definitely cause heated discussions in major film markets around the world when it is released.

Only Lin Daoqiu has such a big face to be able to invite the big Hollywood stars above, if it were someone else, he might not be able to invite them.

"In order to invite these big stars, the total film remuneration of this drama will probably cost 3000 million US dollars."

Liao Xiangxiong, who was just happy for less than a minute, was dumbfounded when he heard that the salary of this movie was as high as 1 million US dollars.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, are you kidding me? This drama will cost 3000 million US dollars just for the film salary? Isn't this... too exaggerated?"

Liao Xiangxiong never thought that the total remuneration of a movie would be as high as 3000 million US dollars, and this movie was paid for by Baodao, which is completely unheard of.

"Director Liao, it's quite normal for you to have such thoughts. After all, you have been in contact with the film market in Taiwan before, and you don't know much about Hollywood and the world's film trends."

Lin Daoqiu had already guessed that Liao Xiangxiong would have such a reaction, which seemed normal to him.

Even Lin Daoqiu himself couldn't accept it, the total film remuneration accounted for [-]% of the filming budget, but whoever made it the treasure island authorities this time, it's no wonder him.

"Mr. Lin, although I have always paid attention to the film market in Taiwan, I also pay attention to the foreign film market from time to time. I have never heard of any film with a salary as high as 3000 million U.S. dollars."

Liao Xiangxiong has already started to question Lin Daoqiu. Although he is unwilling to doubt the other party, the expenditure is too big, so big that he has no way to agree.

"Director Liao, think carefully about what we are filming for."

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to explain to Liao Xiangxiong, but planned to slowly guide the other party to agree with his statement.

Of course Liao Xiangxiong knew why Lin Daoqiu wanted to make this blockbuster movie, wasn't it just for the external publicity of Baodao.

But even so, he still couldn't agree to spend so much salary.

"Mr. Lin, of course I understand why we want to make this film, but the problem is that the money is too much, and the higher-ups will not agree."

Li Zhengnan and Zhang Jingyu will definitely never agree to the payment of the 3000 million US dollars in salary.

Unless Lin Daoqiu can convince them, otherwise, this drama will be difficult to handle in the future.

"Isn't we filming this movie just to use it for publicity? If we want to do publicity, of course we should find the most popular and influential stars to shoot, right? If we can't even do this, then I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me. done."

Liao Xiangxiong didn't know what to say. Even though he agreed with what Lin Daoqiu said, the amount of money was too large, which was beyond the scope of Liao Xiangxiong's power and responsibility.

If Lin Daoqiu really insisted on doing this, he could only report the matter to his superiors immediately and ask Zhang Jingyu or Li Zhengnan to intervene.

"Mr. Lin, of course I know that you made this arrangement for the sake of this drama, but...but I still can't agree. I have to report this matter to my superiors."

"Of course no problem. This is Director Liao's right. Please do as you please."

Liao Xiangxiong was in a hurry. If he didn't report this matter to Zhang Jingyu immediately, once Lin Daoqiu invited people over, he would have to cook the raw rice and cook it, and it would be too late to regret it.

By that time, I will definitely be scolded by Zhang Jingyu, and I may even be expelled from the film department directly.

For the sake of his own job, Liao Xiangxiong hurried out, and he wanted to report this matter to Zhang Jingyu immediately.

After Liao Xiangxiong left, Brigitte Lin looked at Lin Daoqiu worriedly, she had heard their conversation clearly just now.

"The film's salary is so high, they will definitely not agree to it, what if they reject your decision then?"

Brigitte Lin has already started to worry about Lin Daoqiu.

When Lin Daoqiu was filming in the past, he decided everything from big to small, and no one would dare to object.

Now when I come to Taiwan to film, there are too many aspects to take into account, this unfavorable factor will greatly hinder Lin Daoqiu.

"Then temporarily suspend work. I don't have to film this movie right away, and I'm doing this for their benefit. If they don't appreciate it, then I can't help it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't bother to care whether they would agree or not. If they rejected his suggestion, Lin Daoqiu would ask them to find celebrities to shoot.

As for any problems with the quality of this drama, then I can only let myself be responsible.

"It's better not to cooperate with them in the future. These people's ideas are too old to keep up with the times. It's a pity that many filmmakers in Taiwan still live in such an environment."

Brigitte Lin had to sigh with emotion that the shooting environment in Xiangjiang and the shooting environment in Baodao are really like a world of difference.

Lin Daoqiu just smiled slightly at this. If he hadn't had a choice, he wouldn't have cooperated with the guys from Baodao, and he was simply making mistakes for himself.

In an office in China Film Cultural City, Liao Xiangxiong called Zhang Jingyu.

"Director Liao, why did you call me so early? Could something have happened?"

Zhang Jingyu saw that the time was still very early, but Liao Xiangxiong suddenly called himself at this time, it must be something wrong with the crew.

"Report to Director Zhang, there is a matter that must be reported to you immediately, the matter is like this..."

Liao Xiangxiong told Zhang Jingyu that Lin Daoqiu would spend 3000 million yuan to invite Hollywood stars.

After the other party heard it, he first made a surprised sound, and it seemed that he was indeed frightened by this incident.

"The people that Mr. Lin said he would invite are all influential Hollywood stars?"

But what Liao Xiangxiong didn't expect was that Zhang Jingyu's focus was not on money, but on whether the people Lin Daoqiu invited were real big stars.

"Director Zhang is right. The few people Mr. Lin wants to invite are indeed popular stars in Hollywood."

"Okay, if this is the case, then you must help Mr. Lin to facilitate this matter. It will be of great benefit to our publicity when we can invite them to participate in this play. You must hurry up and do it .”

Originally, Liao Xiangxiong thought that Zhang Jingyu would have any objections to this sky-high salary, but he didn't expect him to have any doubts at all, and he agreed directly.

Could it be that I was really nervous?The above didn't take this seriously at all?
