Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 174 Other Factors
"Mr. Wu, Lin Daoqiu has returned to Xiangjiang."

Jackie Chan hurriedly found Wu Siyuan because he heard a shocking news today.

But before Jackie Chan came, Wu Siyuan had already known about it, and he knew more than Jackie Chan.

"Sit down first."

How could Jackie Chan sit down at this time, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Wu Siyuan also looked worried.

Originally, they had already had a headache when they had to face "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua", but they didn't expect that there would be an additional "Goodbye Wang Laowu".

And as far as he knew, Lin Daoqiu's play should be screened by Shaw Brothers.

If it was someone else, it must be a very stupid decision to choose to release the film at Shaw Brothers.

But Lin Daoqiu is different, now Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are trying their best to win him over, so Fang Yathua will definitely give Lin Daoqiu great preferential treatment in the filming.

At that time, he will have to face a strong opponent to share the box office. For Wu Siyuan, it will be even worse.

"It's useless for you to be anxious now. This matter is a foregone conclusion. Now we can only wait for the final result."

Wu Siyuan also couldn't think of any good way, after all, He Guanchang and Lin Daoqiu were aggressive, and whoever it was, it would be difficult to get cheap from them.

But there is one thing that makes Wu Siyuan happy, that is, the addition of Lin Daoqiu will not only hit them, but also affect Yuen Biao.

Before that, He Guanchang used strong means to arrange their schedules together in order to suppress Jackie Chan.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has added another kick, I believe Yuen Biao's box office will not be too good by then.

Wu Siyuan even speculated that the box office of "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" might not be as good as Yuen Biao's last "Kung Fu Boy".

"It seems that I have time to visit Mr. Lin."

Wu Siyuan really couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu came to rush into troubled waters, did he have a grudge against Jackie Chan, or did he want to deal with Yuen Biao?
…………

In Shaw's post-production company, Lin Daoqiu is enjoying the rough cut of "Goodbye Wang Laowu".

Because it has only been roughly cut, there are still many places that need to be modified.

But just looking at it this way, you can roughly see the level of this drama.

In the screening room, besides Lin Daoqiu, there were Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Zeng Zhiwei and Zhong Zhentao.

In this play, Lin Daoqiu didn't design too complicated a plot, basically following the original plot.

Chen Zinan and Yu Xiaoan have been in love for many years. Xiaoan thought she was pregnant, so they had to report to their parents and register their marriage.

But because the money used for the marriage was used by Zi Nan to speculate in stocks, the result was a mess, and Zi Nan had to borrow usury in the end.

Because the creditor wanted to run away, he came to collect the debt at the wedding banquet, and then a series of ridiculous things happened.

This drama was originally released in 1989, and many of the plots in it are unusable now, so Lin Daoqiu did not write the script too rigidly.

And these alone have already made Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui want to break their heads, but fortunately they only need to be responsible for the jokes, and Lin Daoqiu has already written the general plot.

Otherwise, I'm afraid they will have to spend more time on the second creation.

Zeng Zhiwei didn't know that this play had something to do with Lin Daoqiu at first, he thought it was the script written by Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui.

But compared to Zeng Zhiwei, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun seemed more nervous.

Because this time Lin Daoqiu completely delegated the power to them to shoot, and even the producer is named after the two of them.

If this drama can't even get a million box office, they don't know how to face Lin Daoqiu.

"It's not bad, although it's a little bit different from what I expected, but at least there are no random shots."

This is the first film made by Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. Lin Daoqiu will not ask too much of him, as long as he can get by.

"Director Zeng and Mr. Zhong, you two have worked hard this time. Naturally, there will be a lot of red envelopes at the celebration banquet."

Zeng Zhiwei and Zhong Zhentao quickly shook their heads and even said they didn't dare. In fact, they have no idea until now.

After all, the most popular movies now, except for the Xu Brothers, are basically Kung Fu movies.

It can be said that it is very difficult for this urban romantic comedy to get a good box office.

Although this drama, relying on Zhong Zhentao's face, invited other members of Winner to comeo, but it is really difficult to get a good box office.

Zeng Zhiwei and Zhong Zhentao still had things to do, and they left after watching the film.

Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun looked like they wanted to ask but dared not.

"Don't worry, this movie will definitely sell well."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were taken aback by Lin Daoqiu's confidence.

"I'll talk to Ms. Fang later about the schedule. You can go to prepare the celebration banquet first."

If someone else said such a thing, I am afraid that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui would never believe it.

But when these words came out of Lin Daoqiu's mouth, the authenticity was greatly improved.

However, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun never expected that the reason why Lin Daoqiu thought this movie could be a hit was not because of the good filming or the excellent script, but because of other factors.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's visit, Fang Yihua temporarily put down the work at hand and asked the secretary to invite him in.

"I heard that Mr. Lin is filming a drama in Baodao, why are you free to come and see me today?"

Fang Yihua knew that Lin Daoqiu had made a movie, and now he was doing post-processing in Shaw Brothers' production company. It seemed that he should have come to discuss the schedule with him.

"I have a movie I want to release on November 11th."

Lin Daoqiu made it clear as soon as he sat down.

"Is that the "Goodbye Wang Laowu"?"

"good."

Lin Daoqiu nodded.

Judging from the information at hand, "Goodbye Wang Laowu" is an urban romantic comedy, and the box office should not be too good.

But as soon as Lin Daoqiu was involved in this matter, there might be more changes.

"No problem. For the sake of Mr. Lin, I won't charge the bottom line fee, but I can only give you [-]% of the box office revenue."

"Thank you Miss Fang, then we'll make a deal."

Lin Daoqiu agreed very simply, then stood up and extended his hand to Fang Yihua.

Fang Yihua originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would try every means to get her to change the share, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so simply?This made her very uncomfortable.

Isn't Lin Daoqiu not optimistic about this drama?Or did he have other ideas?
All of a sudden, countless question marks popped up in Fang Yihua's head.

"What about the overseas agency rights of this movie?"

Fang Yihua asked tentatively.

"If Ms. Fang wants it, the box office will be split in half."

The familiar Lin Daoqiu finally returned to Fang Yathua.

　Thank you, Song Bingshu for your big reward!mwah!Thank you pro!
