Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1520 A Special Driver

The purpose of Lin Daoqiu's coming to Hollywood this time is to help Dykstra recruit some special effects talents.

And his second goal is to find the leading actor of "The Extraordinary Men".

Brother cruise has been excluded from the list of leading actors by Lin Daoqiu, and now it is really a headache to find a suitable leading actor.

Lin Daoqiu is actually not familiar with the stars of this era, and the stars he remembers are not famous yet, and he doesn't know where they are hiding in that corner.

Even if you ask Langmeyer, it will be difficult to find the person he is looking for.

But the most important thing now is to help Dykstra solve the problem of special effects talents.

Lin Daoqiu could have a chat with Langmeyer about this matter.

"I'm sorry, I really want to help you with this, but you should also know that since "Godzilla", all major Hollywood companies have gone crazy and invested huge sums of money in research and development of special effects."

The success of "Godzilla" made everyone suddenly realize that the future of movies will be the era of special effects movies.

If you don't want to be left behind, you must keep up with this pace, and the research and development of special effects is naturally the first step everyone has to take.

It is almost impossible to add special effects talents now.

"Looks like I really shouldn't have made 'Godzilla'."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head with a smile, it seemed that he was the culprit of this matter.

Langmeyer can't do anything about it, and Universal Pictures is now actively looking for and investing in potential special effects companies and studios.

"Your magic studio is now a piece of cake. It is said that many companies want to cooperate with you, and even buy the magic studio from you."

Langmeyer was not joking with Lin Daoqiu, because now there are only two most famous special effects film studios in the world, one is Industrial Light and Magic, and the other is the magic studio in Lin Daoqiu's hands.

"If the other party is willing to pay 1000 billion U.S. dollars, then I will seriously consider this deal."

Not to mention that no one can afford the price Lin Daoqiu offered, even if someone could afford it, no one would be willing to buy it, and it was even impossible to negotiate.

As soon as Langmeyer heard it, he knew that Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to sell the magic studio. After all, it was a money-making machine. With the sales of "Godzilla" and its peripherals, Lin Daoqiu earned at least more than one billion US dollars.

How could such a golden hen be sold to others casually, and Langmeyer himself would definitely not be willing to sell it.

"Maybe someone will actually offer this price at that time."

Langmeyer was just joking with Lin Daoqiu, but what he probably never expected was that his words were confirmed more than 20 years later.

"hope so."

Not being able to get help from Langmeyer made Lin Daoqiu somewhat disappointed.

Fortunately, before he came to Hollywood, Dykstra had helped contact several schools.

If you really can't find someone, Dykstra doesn't mind teaching him, but the premise is that the person must be proficient in computers and love the movie industry.

After leaving Universal Studios, Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng stood by the roadside waiting for the bus.

"Starting from tomorrow, I will visit those schools. You can contact some film students. I plan to go and see if there are any suitable newcomers."

If you really can't find a suitable movie star, Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind using a student who is still in school to play the leading role in "The Hero".

It's just that it's a bit risky to do so, not to mention that the acting skills are not up to standard, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of publicity just because of the popularity.

However, the difference between Lin Daoqiu's movies and other movies is that the biggest selling point of his movies is Lin Daoqiu himself, and then the stars.

Although it is a pity that there are no big names to participate in the performance, Lin Daoqiu still insists on doing so.

While Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng were still waiting for the car, an extended Lincoln sedan drove past them, and then stopped not far ahead.

When the driver opened the door and got out of the car, then walked to the rear door will be opened.

Lin Daoqiu turned his head inadvertently, and then he suddenly stopped there and looked at the stretched Lincoln without moving.

"Boss, what happened?"

Fang Jinsheng noticed that Lin Daoqiu was looking at the Lincoln without moving. He didn't know what happened. Could it be that Lin Daoqiu wanted to ride in that kind of car?
"Go and tell him that I want to rent this car."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the Lincoln and said to Fang Jinsheng.

Although Fang Jinsheng didn't know why Lin Daoqiu was doing this, he would not go to the bottom of it, but would faithfully carry out Lin Daoqiu's orders.

After watching Fang Jinsheng chat with the other party for a few words, the driver turned his head to look at himself, and then the other party Jinsheng said.

"No problem, let's get in the car."

After getting the other party's permission, Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng got into this extended Lincoln together.

It's not that Lin Daoqiu has never ridden in this kind of car before. The reason why he did this is because the driver caught Lin Daoqiu's attention.

"Your driving skills are very proficient, I don't know how to call it?"

"Just call me Brad."

The driver obviously doesn't like chatting with others, especially the two foreigners in the back seat.

Speaking of which, besides food and clothing, he actually drives for other purposes, but the two people in the back seat are not his target people.

"It looks like you are very young. I have been in this kind of car many times before, but the drivers are all old people. How could you think of becoming a driver?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at him curiously, and his question made Brad very depressed.

"It's simple, I drive because I need the money, and until I realize my dream, this job is still going to be important to me."

Brad answered Lin Daoqiu's question very honestly.

"Dream? If you don't mind, can you tell me what your dream is? Just treat it as a small talk."

"Sir, you are really interesting, but since you want to know, I don't mind telling you, my dream is to become a big star."

In Hollywood, many young people gathered here from all over the United States and even the world with the dream of becoming a big star, and this Brad was just one of them.

He usually not only drives, but also works as a waiter, and even plays a cartoon character, in order to get a chance to become famous.

But it's a pity that he has been in Hollywood for more than half a year, and he didn't even get a serious role during this period, which made Brad feel depressed.
