Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1836 Producer Wang

Wang Jing didn't expect that Yu Yunkang didn't hear what he said clearly and went back to sleep, which made him very angry.

You must know that others have always been waiting for Lin Daoqiu honestly. Wang Jing has never met anyone who can make Lin Daoqiu wait so long.

If he doesn't lose his temper, he will be the one who will feel better when Yu Yun resists later.

Originally, Yu Yunkang's life was not easy, and "The Fierce Cat" has not sold very well recently, and now Lin Daoqiu is still unhappy, and his future film development in Xiangjiang may be very worrying.

"Mr. Lin, Director Yu hasn't had a good rest recently because of the box office of "The Fierce Cat", so please forgive me."

Wang Jing took the initiative to help Yu Yunkang plead with Lin Daoqiu, hoping that he would not have any dissatisfaction with Yu Yunkang because of this.

But Wang Jing probably underestimated Lin Daoqiu.

If Yu Yunkang did this on purpose, then Lin Daoqiu might be angry.

But it was only two hours late, and it was a temporary appointment with the other party. Under such circumstances, Lin Daoqiu would not blame Yu Yunkang.

"Don't worry, I'm not so angry, don't be so nervous."

Lin Daoqiu didn't take it too seriously, but continued to process the documents.

Wang Jing, who was sitting opposite Lin Daoqiu, was a bit bored, because he had been looking at Lin Daoqiu who was working like this for almost two hours.

"By the way, if you are asked to make a ghost film, what do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu put down the pen suddenly, then looked up at Wang Jing and asked him with a smile.

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing was surprised, because he never thought that he would make a ghost film.

He can make comedies, action movies, gambling movies, and romance movies, but Wang Jing has never dabbled in movies with the theme of supernatural movies.

"Mr. Lin was joking, how can I make a supernatural movie? I'm worried that even if I make it by then, it won't scare people."

Wang Jing shook her head while talking, if he was asked to make a ghost film, Wang Jing felt that she would make a comedy film in the end.

Since this is the case, it would be better to make comedy films honestly.

"Do you think anyone will follow suit after "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" comes out?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked Wang Jing another question.

Wang Jing shook her head without thinking about it.

"It's almost impossible to follow the trend of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Don't say that this is your novel, but if you just say that this theme is going to be filmed and it has to look a little bit, the production cost will definitely not be less than 500 million."

"If the production fee of 500 million is to be paid back, at least the box office in Xiangjiang will have to exceed [-] million, so that there is a chance to get back the cost and even make money."

But in general, how could this kind of follow-up movie spend so much money to make it? They have always been shoddy, just find a few unknown actors to fool people, and then plagiarize the plot.

If such a movie can get a box office of over 3000 million, then Wang Jing estimates that the box office of each movie in the future will be at least [-] million.

Not to mention that even if they shoot it, they can't show it in New Oriental theaters, they can only get it to be released in similar Lixin theaters. In that case, it will be even more difficult to break through the box office.

"It seems that you still underestimated those people."

Even though Lin Daoqiu already has the status he has today, he still has no way to stop Xiangjiang's tradition of following suit.

And now that Lin Daoqiu has almost unified Xiangjiang's film industry, the previous restrictions on actors have been completely lifted. Apart from not being able to be the protagonist of several movies at the same time, they can still make cameos or play supporting roles in movies to make money.

We must know that Xiangjiang's film market is very prosperous at this time, especially comedy and action films are the most popular types of audiences.

At this time, if anyone can launch a movie of another type and sell well, then he will definitely make a lot of money.

"Mr. Lin thinks that someone will follow the trend of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

Wang Jing didn't seem to agree with Lin Daoqiu's premonition, after all, in his view, no one in the Xiangjiang film industry dared to challenge Lin Daoqiu's authority at this time.

"Okay, the topic is a bit far away. The reason why I asked you that question just now is that I hope you can try the genre of supernatural comedies."

The supernatural comedies that Lin Daoqiu was talking about were not crude movies, but movies with plots and plots.

"Spiritual comedy? Are there any movies with this theme?"

Wang Jing is very skeptical about this, because he feels that this kind of subject has been filmed before, but the response is very mediocre, and there is no money at all.

It would be fine if he was allowed to shoot, but Wang Jing didn't think he could make any outstanding films unless Lin Daoqiu was willing to provide him with a script.

"I don't know if it's a trick, but I have a script here."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he took out a script from the drawer and placed it in front of Wang Jing.

Wang Jing didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu really prepared a script for him, which made him very happy.

After taking the script and looking at it, the name of the play is "The Ghost Police Office". After scrolling down, Wang Jing found that the screenwriter was not Lin Daoqiu, but Liu Zhenwei.

"Is this a script written by Liu Zhenwei?"

At first, Wang Jing thought that this play was written by Lin Daoqiu, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Zhenwei's work.

"This script has been with me for a while, and I think it would be good if you supervised this play."

Let's not talk about the good and bad of the films directed by Wang Jing, but many of the works he produced are high-quality products, which makes people feel very strange.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu asked Wang Jing to be the producer of Liu Zhenwei this time is also to hope that this Liu Zhenwei's "Fighting Ghosts" can be better than the previous life.

And this time, Lin Daoqiu did not let Wang Jing be the director but let him be the producer. He just hoped that Wang Jing could look at Liu Zhenwei and use his experience to make this movie well.

"Let me supervise?"

Wang Jing didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would entrust him with being the producer of the film, which really surprised him.

"By the way, the production cost of this drama is only 300 million."

"300 million..."

Wang Jing originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would at least give him a production fee of about 800 million yuan, but how can he shoot with only 300 million yuan?I am afraid that the actors can only invite some newcomers to play.

If you want to invite a slightly famous actor to shoot, it is estimated that the salary is not enough.

"This is the first time Liu Zhenwei shoots his own work. Do you think I will spend a lot of money to shoot? Of course let him try the water first and then watch the follow-up."

What Lin Daoqiu said made it impossible for Wang Jing to refute it. It is already a very good thing for a newcomer to have 300 million to shoot his first work.
