Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1799 Book Spring Festival stalls in advance

Lin Daoqiu didn't stay for too long. After briefly telling them the plot, he handed over the script to Gao Zhisen, and then he left.

After Lin Daoqiu left, everyone seemed to be relieved, especially Dong Biao, perhaps because of Lin Daoqiu's warning just now, he began to feel scared.

If he had known that Lin Daoqiu would be so unhappy, he would never have encouraged Wu Mengda and Chen Baixiang to intercede with Brigitte Lin.

"Uncle Biao, Fei Fei, although the budget of this film is not high, but fortunately, it is just a modern urban comedy, the production requirements are not high, and the main focus is on the plot, so 500 million can definitely make a good film. it is good."

Before Lin Daoqiu left, Gao Zhisen left a budget of 500 million yuan to film the movie "Rich and Rich".

Speaking of such a budget at this time, it can only be regarded as a low-to-medium film. After all, it is already 87, which is completely different from the era ten years ago when 20 yuan could make a movie.

"Director Gao, since Mr. Lin appointed you to film this movie, we will all listen to you."

Shen Dianxia was very cooperative. After all, this is a script written by Lin Daoqiu. As for who directs it, it doesn't matter at all. I didn't see that Lin Daoqiu was also the producer and screenwriter.

Moreover, Gao Zhisen had made several blockbuster comedies before, so this time Lin Daoqiu asked him to make "Rich and Rich", Shen Dianxia felt that this was definitely a very correct choice.

Dong Biao naturally didn't have any opinion on this, and he had almost provoked Lin Daoqiu before, so he didn't dare to raise any opinion at all.

"Fatty is right. I will follow the director's arrangement this time. Director Gao can rest assured."

Dong Biao showed a very cooperative appearance, but Dong Biao has always been very cooperative, Gao Zhisen didn't think too much, and he didn't know Dong Biao's secret.

"Congratulations Uncle Biao, I wonder if this time is a blessing in disguise?"

At this time, only Chen Baixiang dared to joke with Dong Biao. Dong Biao just glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Gao Zhisen didn't know what happened before, so Chen Baixiang's words didn't attract his attention.

After returning to New Arts City, just as Gao Zhisen put down the script, Mai Jia came to find him.

"Zhisen, have you finished writing that script?"

Gao Zhisen is also in charge of a script at the same time, and Mai Jia came here today to ask about the progress of the script.

"Boss, I'm sorry I haven't finished writing that script yet."

Gao Zhisen originally planned to spare time today to finish writing the script, but Lin Daoqiu called him over temporarily, so he didn't have time to start writing today.

Maijia didn't think too much when she heard it, after all, writing a script is unpredictable, it may be very fast or very slow.

In recent years, Huang Baiming, Gao Zhisen and others have been in charge of New Oriental's scripts. Mai Jia is only in charge of filming, and has rarely participated in the creation of scripts.

"Oh...then you write slowly, eh..."

Just when Mai Jia was about to leave, he suddenly found a script called "Richness Overwhelming" on the table.

"This is……"

As Maijia asked, she picked up the script and read it.

Before Gao Zhisen could speak, Mai Jia had already opened the script.

At this time, Gao Zhisen didn't need to say anything, because Mai Jia saw the author's name at the first glance when he opened the script.

"Is this a script written by Mr. Lin?"

Mai Jia didn't expect Gao Zhisen to have a script written by Lin Daoqiu here. He had never heard of Lin Daoqiu's arrangement of a new film for New Art City before.

"It's like this, Mr. Lin just called me over and asked me to make this "Rich and Rich"."

Gao Zhisen briefly explained to Mai Jia the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening to Gao Zhisen's explanation, Mai Jia finally understood that this was the case.

With a budget of 500 million to make an urban comedy, plus the actors' salaries, there really isn't much money available at that time.

"Since Mr. Lin wrote the script, shouldn't it be bigger?"

Mai Jia felt that Lin Daoqiu finally wrote a script, and it would be too wasteful if he didn't make it big.

In his opinion, this movie will cost at least 1000 million yuan to shoot, and the actors will have to invite several big-name guest stars.

"Besides Wu Mengda and Chen Baixiang, you can actually invite other celebrities to come as guest stars, or even... just make this drama a Spring Festival show."

Mai Jia didn't have any good ideas in his hands. It seemed that the Spring Festival would be in a few months, and now New Art City couldn't find a movie suitable for release during the Spring Festival.

Now that Lin Daoqiu wrote the script, why not just release "Rich and Rich" in the Spring Festival.

"The boss means that you plan to increase the budget of this movie and release it in the Spring Festival, but... But Mr. Lin never said that before."

Gao Zhisen worried that if Mai Jia did this without Lin Daoqiu's permission, Lin Daoqiu would definitely be unhappy when he found out.

"Silly boy, am I such an ignorant person? I will definitely seek Mr. Lin's permission before doing this, or do you think I will really be so bold?"

Mai Jia shook his head while talking, he felt that Gao Zhisen thought of him too bravely.

After all, Lin Daoqiu at this time is already Xiangjiang's unique film overlord, and whoever dares to challenge his authority at this time will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Hearing what Mai Jia said, Gao Zhisen was relieved.

And Gao Zhisen himself also thinks that if "Rich and Rich" can be made bigger, then he, the director, will naturally be very happy.

After all, what director doesn't love a super-budget and flashy star cast.

After being told by Mai Jia, Gao Zhisen himself began to feel that the star lineup and budget of "Rising Wealth" are a bit too shabby, and they are not worthy of the script written by Lin Daoqiu.

"You just wait to be a director, and I will take care of this matter."

Mai Jia patted Gao Zhisen on the shoulder, and then left.

…………

Not long after Lin Daoqiu returned to New Oriental, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming came to find him.

"You are really rare visitors, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know that Mai Jia and the others came here for the drama "Rich and Rich". After all, he had just met Gao Zhisen not long ago.

"Mr. Lin, we are here today for the play "Rich and Rich".

Mai Jia knew that Lin Daoqiu didn't like long-winded people, so he straight to the point and explained his purpose of coming.

Hearing Mai Jia's words, Lin Daoqiu's eyebrows trembled slightly.

He didn't expect that Mai Jia and the others would know about "Rising Riches" so soon. It seemed that Gao Zhisen was quite loyal to Mai Jia.

　Thanks, ah, a big monthly ticket!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
