Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1605 Everyone wants to rise to the top
Lin Daoqiu's purchase of MGM and the joint venture with Universal sparked an overwhelming discussion in Hollywood.

However, Lin Daoqiu, who was involved, did not continue to stir up this topic after the press conference, but devoted himself to the filming of "Rush Hour".

Originally, in the crew, everyone regarded Lin Daoqiu as a very famous producer.

But now Lin Daoqiu's identity has changed from a world-renowned film producer to the boss of MGM. This change caught everyone by surprise.

Even Jackie Chan didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would actually buy MGM, which made him extremely excited.

If he has been worried about whether he can make a name in Hollywood before, but now these worries have disappeared.

Because Lin Daoqiu has become the boss of MGM, from now on, he is not that helpless action star in Hollywood.

As long as Lin Daoqiu is willing to support him, Jackie Chan believes that with his own ability, he will never have any problems in making his own career in Hollywood.

"Mr. Lin..."

Lin Daoqiu found that after he returned to the crew, those people's attitude towards him became more respectful than before.

But this can't be blamed on them. After all, Lin Daoqiu's identity at this time is already the boss of MGM, one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, and he is an existence they need to look up to in their entire lives.

If they can get a little favor from Lin Daoqiu, then they will undoubtedly rise to the top and directly embark on the fast track of the victory group in life.

Many people have even begun to look at Martin Lawrence with an attitude of envy, jealousy and hatred.

This kid had been spotted by Lin Daoqiu before he bought MGM, and he invited him to participate in the filming of "Rush Hour".

I believe that after the filming of this film is finished, Martin Lawrence will no longer be that unknown little actor.

And with Lin Daoqiu's support, I'm afraid he will become a well-known movie star in Hollywood within a few years.

"Why didn't I get picked up by Mr. Lin, hey..."

A group of supporting actors and extras almost all had the same idea. They also wanted to be as lucky as Martin Lawrence, but such good luck did not come to them.

But even so, the supporting actors and extras who participated in the filming of "Rush Hour" still performed very hard in front of Lin Daoqiu.

If you can put in a lot of effort, you will never leave a point, just hope that Lin Daoqiu can take a fancy to him, and then let them jump into the dragon's gate.

"Ka...don't act so hard, you just handed him water, don't you have revenge for killing your father?"

Lin Daoqiu found that since he bought MGM and returned to the crew, the supporting actors and extras seemed to have changed a lot, and the acting was more focused and hard than before.

This is never a good thing for the movie, and many times it is because they are too hard to shoot a lot of shots.

"What kind of plane? If you're messing around, get the hell out of here."

Lin Daoqiu frowned directly, because this situation had happened several times, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Seeing Lin Daoqiu getting angry, everyone realized that they had done something wrong, so they should quickly find a way to correct it.

Terry Leonard, one of the assistant directors, can't stand this kind of thing anymore, but he also understands why these people do it like this.

"Terry, go talk to them and let them stop thinking about it and messing around."

Lin Daoqiu turned to look at Terry Leonard.

One of the responsibilities of the assistant director is to be responsible for coordinating the work on the scene. Of course, supporting roles and extras are also under their supervision.

"Don't worry Mr. Lin, I know what to do."

Terry Leonard naturally also wants to be favored by Lin Daoqiu, but he is much smarter than those people.

He knew that if he messed around like those guys, instead of gaining Lin Daoqiu's favor, it would arouse his disgust.

In Terry Leonard's view, as long as he does his job well, Lin Daoqiu will never forget him.

Calling some of the supporting cast and extras aside, Terry Leonard put his arms around his chest and looked at them with a serious face.

"Guys, I know what you're thinking, but I want you to put those crazy thoughts aside, I know we all want to succeed, but only if we do a good job."

Those people knew what Terry Leonard said, but they just couldn't hold back the idea of ​​showing off in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"If you still think it doesn't matter what Mr. Lin said before, then I believe that what you say in his capacity now, you have to weigh it carefully."

Terry Leonard didn't want to talk too much, after all, this movie has been filmed for a third of the time. If it is re-shot at this time, it will take a long time to make up the scene.

Unless it was a last resort, neither Lin Daoqiu nor he hoped that such a thing would happen.

Those people obviously didn't want to make Lin Daoqiu unhappy because of this incident, so they all assured Terry Leonard again and again that the previous situation would never happen.

After Terry Leonard finished chatting with the supporting actors and extras, he returned to Lin Daoqiu's side and made an OK gesture to him.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I believe they have calmed down."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to pursue this kind of thing too much. He could understand that everyone wanted to succeed and get his own attention, but he couldn't mess up his work just because of this. Lin Daoqiu absolutely didn't allow it.

"Thank you for your hard work. Set up the scene and continue shooting the next shot."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything to Terry Leonard, but just continued his previous work.

Terry Leonard didn't feel any disappointment about this, because in his opinion, Lin Daoqiu didn't seem like a person who would promise casually, as long as he did his job well and waited patiently.

I have to say that Terry Leonard's approach really suits Lin Daoqiu's appetite.

Compared with those who do everything in front of him, Lin Daoqiu admires this kind of people who silently do their jobs well.

And according to his observation during this period, Terry Leonard is a very responsible person, although he has never been able to be promoted to director, it is only because he has no way to get the favor of the high-level.

Lin Daoqiu needs many talents to enter MGM, and the director is one of them. What Terry Leonard doesn't know is that he has successfully entered the scope of Lin Daoqiu's investigation.

As long as he didn't make any major mistakes during this period, he would most likely be recruited by Lin Daoqiu.
