Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1801 A Hot Script

"Boss, what did Mr. Lin say?"

Upon hearing the news that Mai Jia and Huang Baiming had returned, Gao Zhisen immediately looked for them.

But when he walked in, he found that Mai Jia and Huang Baiming didn't seem happy. Gao Zhisen wondered if Lin Daoqiu rejected their proposal to increase the budget?

"Mr. Lin agrees to increase the budget of "Wealthy Man"..."

Hearing what Huang Baiming said, Gao Zhisen was very happy, but what the other party said next made Gao Zhisen speechless.

"However, Mr. Lin asked us to revise the script of "Wealth and Wealth". He was only allowed to increase the budget when he was satisfied with the changes."

Lin Daoqiu actually asked them to change the script of "Rich and Rich", this is simply a joke.

After coming to New Oriental for such a long time, Gao Zhisen has never heard of anyone who has changed the script written by Lin Daoqiu.

"Who dares to change Mr. Lin's script? And who can guarantee that it will be better than the original script written by Mr. Lin?"

Gao Zhisen shook his head while talking. In his opinion, Lin Daoqiu's script cannot be changed at all, because no matter how well it is changed or poorly changed, it will definitely be of no benefit to him in the end.

If it sells well at that time, everyone will praise Lin Daoqiu's ability to write scripts, because this is a matter of course.

But if the movie's box office revenue is not ideal at that time, then the director and screenwriter may be scolded, and they may even be suspected of ruining the script written by Lin Daoqiu.

"Why don't we know, but that's what Mr. Lin said, either change the script, or shoot according to the budget of 500 million."

Huang Baiming was also very speechless. He didn't think that if he took the initiative to revise the script written by Lin Daoqiu, he would definitely be able to write better than the other party.

And it still takes time to do it, not something that can be done in just a few days or a few weeks.

Compared to revising Lin Daoqiu's script, Huang Baiming felt that it would be easier for him to write a script again.

"In this case, let's shoot according to the original script. I can't change the script written by Mr. Lin."

Gao Zhisen not only thinks that he can't change it, but in his opinion, it is unknown whether Xiangjiang can change Lin Daoqiu's script or not.

"Don't you want to try it?"

Huang Baiming looked at Gao Zhisen and asked with a smile.

Gao Zhisen quickly shook his head, he would rather not do this kind of thankless work.

"Even if the budget of this movie will increase significantly after the modification?"

For Mai Jia and Huang Baiming, the only advantage of changing the script is that the budget of this drama can be greatly increased.

As long as the budget increases, they can invite more stars to comeo in this drama, and they can even make this drama more refined.

"Boss, I can't change Mr. Lin's script. It's okay if I help, but if I do it myself, then I definitely can't do it."

Gao Zhisen is actually a very confident person, but now that the script involves Lin Daoqiu, his self-confidence has been greatly reduced.

Hearing that Gao Zhisen gave up directly, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming were also very helpless, but they could also understand Gao Zhisen's pressure.

"correct……"

At this moment, Gao Zhisen suddenly yelled, startling Mai Jia and Huang Baiming.

"When Mr. Lin approached me before, the assistant director matched me with Liu Zhenwei."

Gao Zhisen suddenly mentioned Liu Zhenwei, and Mai Jia and Huang Baiming immediately understood his thoughts.

"You mean to ask Liu Zhenwei to revise the script? But can he do it?"

Who is Liu Zhenwei? Both Mai Jia and Huang Baiming have heard of it more or less. It is said that he is someone who Lin Daoqiu thinks highly of recently, but he has been filming TV series before, and has not yet participated in the filming of movies.

Gao Zhisen shook his head directly, he didn't even have time to meet Liu Zhenwei, nor talked to him, so he didn't even know what kind of person Liu Zhenwei was.

"I think it's okay to ask him to change it first and try it out. If it doesn't work, we can shoot according to the original script. Anyway, there is still some time before the Chinese New Year."

Huang Baiming's proposal was actually to keep Liu Zhenwei from telling him that the script was written by Lin Daoqiu, so that he would not have any psychological burden to change it.

It would be a good thing if he could change the script better than the original script by then, but if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.

"Well, don't tell him who wrote the script, let him read it first."

Mai Jia was also suffocating, but this is probably the only feasible solution at present, after all, they are really under pressure to change Lin Daoqiu's script.

"I know the boss, I'll go find Liu Zhenwei right away."

…………

"Director Liu, someone is looking for you."

Liu Zhenwei, who was filming in Dongshi's studio, suddenly heard someone looking for him.

When he looked for the voice, he found a face that seemed a little familiar.

"Gao Zhisen, New Art City, we should have met in New Oriental before."

Gao Zhisen stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Zhenwei.

When Liu Zhenwei heard what the other party said, he suddenly realized.

"It turned out to be Director Liu. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know why you came to see me today?"

Liu Zhenwei had no contact with Gao Zhisen before, but he knew that Gao Zhisen was a very good director, and he had made several blockbuster movies before.

"It's like this, Mr. Lin appointed me to cooperate with you to make a movie together."

Lin Daoqiu had never told Liu Zhenwei about this before, so when Liu Zhenwei heard what Gao Zhisen said, he immediately showed a surprised expression on his face.

But soon Liu Zhenwei recovered, and the way he looked at Gao Zhisen became a lot more friendly.

"Since Mr. Lin is well-known and asked me to assist Director Gao, I will try my best to do my job well. Please rest assured Director Gao."

Liu Zhenwei doesn't think that Lin Daoqiu will let him be the director, so this time he will most likely be the screenwriter or assistant director.

But even so, Liu Zhenwei is very happy, because it means that Lin Daoqiu has begun to recognize his ability, which is definitely a gratifying thing.

Moreover, Liu Zhenwei felt that Lin Daoqiu's arrangement this time was probably for the sake of "The Saint of Gamblers" later, so that he could learn first.

"The movie we're going to make this time is called "Rich and Rich". This is the script. Take it back and read it first, and revise it carefully, because I still have the script at hand and I don't have much time to create it, so I will trouble you this time. "

Gao Zhisen did not tell Liu Zhenwei who the screenwriter of "Rich and Rich" was, and he also printed a brand new script, in which Gao Zhisen "accidentally" omitted the screenwriter.

Liu Zhenwei, who took over the script, nodded repeatedly. He thought to himself that since this is something Gao Zhisen told him, he will definitely work hard to change it.

Seeing Liu Zhenwei's honest appearance, Gao Zhisen could only apologize to him in his heart.
