Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1800 Changed to say
"I just told Gao Zhisen that you found out so quickly, you are really well-informed."

Lin Daoqiu didn't blame Gao Zhisen for thinking. After all, Mai Jia is the boss of New Art City, and he didn't say that he should keep it a secret from the people of New Art City, so Lin Daoqiu didn't have any dissatisfaction because of this.

Maijia scratched her bald head with her hand, and laughed hehehe.

"Mr. Lin, I think this "Wealth is Overwhelming" is very suitable for release during the Spring Festival, but if it is produced with the current specifications, the effect may not be satisfactory."

Huang Baiming's meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes to raise the standard of the movie "Rich and Rich" to the standard of a blockbuster movie.

If the production fee of only 500 million is used to make this film, then I am afraid that even a big star will not be invited.

Of course, if Lin Daoqiu opened his mouth to find someone to play a cameo, those people would not dare not to give Lin Daoqiu this face, but in Huang Baiming's opinion, this is not necessary at all.

"What kind of specification do you want to upgrade to?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't think about making "Richness Overwhelming" bigger at first, because in his opinion, this drama tells the story of small people. If too many big names participate, everyone will turn their attention from the script to the stars. body.

If this is the case, then this is completely contrary to his original intention to make this movie.

But if you think about it in another way, there is almost no difference between the "Overwhelming Wealth" in the last life and what I want to shoot in this life.

Wouldn't it be too boring if it was still presented in the same way as in the previous life?
"If the expected box office of this movie is 4000 million, then I think at least a budget of 500 million or so should be invested in the filming, and more big names should be hired."

In Huang Baiming's opinion, it is no big deal that "Rich Man" sells well in Xiangjiang. What he hopes is to rely on the power of stars, so that "Rich Man" can also get a good result in other places .

Of course, this play is about the local ordinary citizens of Xiangjiang. It is almost impossible to expect people from other countries to understand and like it.

Therefore, Huang Baiming has already thought about the audience that this drama will target, that is, the Chinese audience in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Only these people can understand and like this drama.

As for the Nihong and Hanguo markets, Huang Baiming doesn't expect "Rich and Rich" to be a big hit there, but he still hopes to gather more stars to attract audiences there.

"500 million, this type of movie needs to spend so much money to make it? How are you going to make it?"

Lin Daoqiu was a little puzzled. In his opinion, if he was the one to make this kind of movie, it would cost about 200 million yuan to get it done, excluding the actors' salary.

When it comes to Huang Baiming and the others, they suddenly want to add 500 million. How do they want to shoot?Is it possible to add special effects into it?

"We can create a big scene, invite more stars, and add some special effects if possible."

Lin Daoqiu almost couldn't help laughing out at Mai Jia's words.

"You guys really have a whimsical imagination. Movies like "Rich and Rich" need to add special effects. Are you crazy?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head while laughing, it seemed that he didn't agree with Mai Jia's idea.

"In my opinion, the budget of 500 million yuan for this film is enough. If you plan to put this film in the Spring Festival, it will be fine, but you can only shoot according to the current specifications."

Lin Daoqiu directly shattered Mai Jia's idea of ​​upgrading "Rich and Rich".

Originally, Mai Jia hoped to get Lin Daoqiu's support, but she didn't expect this to be the end result.

"Don't even think about the special effects, but if you can re-edit the script I wrote to make me feel that I need to spend money, let alone 1000 million, I'm willing to pay even [-] million."

Lin Daoqiu didn't directly reject Mai Jia's proposal, but he made a proposal that made Mai Jia's headache even more, that is, to change the script written by Lin Daoqiu.

In fact, for Huang Baiming, writing a script is not difficult at all, but he can write a "Hit the Wrong Car" that touches thousands of people in two days.

But even a screenwriter as strong as Huang Baiming, when faced with the need to change Lin Daoqiu's script, and to make the other party think it was better than what he wrote, Huang Baiming began to shrink back.

"Mr. Lin really knows how to joke. Let alone Xiangjiang, I believe that even in the whole world, there will be no one who can write scripts as well as you. This is simply impossible."

While Huang Baiming refused, he was also flattering Lin Daoqiu in a different way.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be very happy with Huang Baiming's flattery, but it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu didn't buy it.

"What nonsense, I'm just an ordinary screenwriter. I'm not as skilled as you said. Either you take back the movie "Rich and Rich" or make it as it is now. Don't talk nonsense with me."

Lin Daoqiu would not be confused by Huang Baiming's flattery, because he knew very well that a large part of his strength was due to the traveler.

If this relationship is excluded, then his ability to write scripts must be far inferior to Huang Baiming's. After all, the other party has created many classic movies by himself.

When Lin Daoqiu said this, Huang Baiming immediately didn't know what to say. He wanted to change it, but he was worried that it would be difficult for him to change the script to satisfy Lin Daoqiu.

"Since this is the case, then I think Baiming and I should go back and discuss it, and come up with a proper plan as soon as possible to repay you."

Seeing Huang Baiming's appearance, Mai Jia knew that there was nothing wrong with him. If this was the case, he should go back and discuss it, otherwise there would be no good results if he continued to chat with Lin Daoqiu.

"Actually, you don't need to be so troubled. If you really don't want to change, there are so many screenwriters in New Art City, and everyone may work together to come up with a better idea."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, a slightly puzzled expression suddenly appeared on Mai Jia's face.

Because in his opinion, Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to resist increasing the budget of "Rich and Rich", but why did he insist on increasing the budget after changing the script instead of directly increasing it.

"Mr. Lin is right. Let's go back and hold a meeting to discuss it. Maybe we can find a solution soon."

Mai Jia nodded quickly. He felt that this trip to find Lin Daoqiu was not fruitless.
