Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 195 A Script 2000 Million
"Mr. Lin is really a rare visitor."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu entered the door, Zou Wenhuai stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party.

"Mr. Zou, you are being polite. In fact, today I have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall."

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at each other, and then smiled almost at the same time.

"Mr. Lin, please take a seat."

Zou Wenhuai was not in a hurry to ask Lin Daoqiu what he wanted to do for them when he came to the door, but asked him to sit down first.

After all, at this age, they have already turned into human beings, and it may not be easy to take advantage of them.

"I don't know if Mr. Lin needs our help. If we can help, we will try our best to help."

The speaker was He Guanchang, and he was mainly in charge of talking to Lin Daoqiu.

As for the final decision was made by Zou Wenhuai, he was in charge of observing from the sidelines.

"Actually, it's nothing important. It's just that I recently thought of a script and wanted to exchange it with Golden Harvest for 2000 million Hong Kong dollars."

He Guanchang was about to pick up the cup to drink, but as soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, his hand shook suddenly, splashing all the water in the cup.

I have to say, Lin Daoqiu is really not amazing, he dares to ask for 2000 million for a script, is this guy crazy?

When Zou Wenhuai heard that Lin Daoqiu said it was 2000 million, he frowned slightly.

"Mr. Lin is not joking. A script needs to sell for 2000 million. I am afraid that no one will buy it at this time."

In Xiangjiang, there are only two companies that are willing to spend a lot of money to buy Lin Daoqiu's script, one is Jiahe, and the other is Shaw Brothers.

Although I don't know if Lin Daoqiu has ever gone to Fang Yihua to talk about this matter, but He Guanchang is very sure that even if Lin Daoqiu went to Fang Yathua, the other party would not agree.

"Mr. He may have misunderstood me. I didn't say that this script can only be filmed in one movie."

As soon as these words came out, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were immediately interested.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, it seems that his script is a series. If so, then the price he offered is negotiable.

"I don't know what kind of movie this movie is?"

Before He Guanchang had time to ask, Zou Wenhuai took a step ahead.

"Urban comedy."

Zou Wenhuai just nodded after listening, which reminded him of the Xu Brothers comedy.

If Lin Daoqiu could come up with a good script for Jiahe to make a few urban comedies, Zou Wenhuai would naturally not be stingy with the money.

"Did you bring the script?"

Zou Wenhuai still wanted to read the script first and said, after all, 2000 million is not a small sum.

Lin Daoqiu nodded, and then handed over the script to Zou Wenhuai.

""Five Lucky Stars"? Is this a group play?"

When Zou Wenhuai saw the name, he thought it should be a group play.

"Yes, this drama revolves around the stories of these five lucky stars. Each of them has a different personality, so when they get together, unexpected and interesting things will happen."

Lin Daoqiu didn't make it too clear. After all, it is necessary to be defensive, and it is enough to let the other party know the general meaning.

Teapot, exhaust pipe, curly hair, Vaseline, and Lu Qi, five people who did not know each other became good friends in prison.

After they were released from prison, they decided to clean up their lives and stop doing those petty thefts.

Later, they partnered to set up a cleaning company, but one day they accidentally got involved in an electric board transaction that produced and sold counterfeit banknotes.

Because of the sudden appearance of the police, the villains had to put the electric board in the cleaning box of Wufuxing, and the five people were involved in a dispute like this.

On the one hand, the police suspected that they were bad guys, and those bad guys were also looking around for their whereabouts, trying to retrieve the electric board and kill them to silence them.

In the end, the five people, relying on their own efforts, smashed those bad guys who produced and sold counterfeit banknotes and brought them all to justice.

The plot doesn't seem very complicated, at least in Zou Wenhuai's eyes, this drama doesn't seem to be anything special, even the plot can be said to be very simple.

If this play wasn't written by Lin Daoqiu, I'm afraid Zou Wenhuai wouldn't even watch it seriously.

"This play..."

Zou Wenhuai was actually very worried about whether the film would be a hit in the end.

"Mr. Zou, don't worry, I will invest and shoot the first part of "Five Lucky Stars". If you are not satisfied then, we can take the normal box office share."

Of course, Zou Wenhuai would not refuse this request. After all, it is impossible for him to spend 2000 million to buy this script now that he can't see anything.

Anyway, it will depend on the box office to decide whether to buy out the script with Lin Daoqiu, and they will not suffer.

"I don't know who Mr. Lin plans to cast as the protagonist in this drama?"

He Guanchang was very curious about who Lin Daoqiu planned to find to act in this play.

…………

"Mr. Lin wants to ask me to act in a play?"

Sammo Hung, who was filming "The Miscellaneous Boy" on the set, suddenly heard the news, which made him feel incredible.

After all, his relationship with Lin Daoqiu was not very good, he couldn't figure out why the other party would suddenly find him?
But no one at the scene could give him an answer to this question, so this question has been bothering Sammo Hung all day long.

After finally filming today's scene, Sammo Hung immediately rushed to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Lin Daoqiu without stopping.

As soon as he entered the box, Sammo Hung apologized to Lin Daoqiu repeatedly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, there is something wrong with the studio, so I'm late."

"Brother Sanmao, you are welcome. I have nothing important to do. Please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu didn't show embarrassment to Sammo Hung because he was late.

But this does not mean that Sammo Hung can sit down with peace of mind, because until now he is still wondering why Lin Daoqiu asked him to act.

"Actually, I have long wanted to collaborate with Big Brother Sanmao on a movie, and the teapot, the leading actor in this "Fantasy and Unusual Plan" is tailor-made for you."

Sammo Hung hadn't read the script yet, and he didn't even know the name of the play. Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, he could only nod quickly.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your appreciation. It sounds like this is a group play?"

Since it is called "Five Lucky Stars", there are four other people besides him.

"The teapot is up to you. I want to find Wu Yaohan for the exhaust pipe. As for Lu Qi, I think Feng Suifan is very suitable."

Lin Daoqiu decided on all three leading roles in one go, but Sammo Hung did not express much opinion on this.

"What about the other two characters?"

"Vaseline wants to find someone who is tall and handsome, not to mention curly hair, it is better to find someone with real curly hair to act."

Originally, Vaseline was played by Qin Xianglin, but Lin Daoqiu was in charge of filming this film, so naturally it is impossible for him to take part.

As for the role of curly hair, Cen Jianxun originally belonged to him, but Lin Daoqiu didn't even know where he was now, whether he was engaged in a movie-related career, and where to find him.

So he brought out these two candidates to discuss with Sammo Hung.

After all, the other party has been in the film industry for so many years, so it is definitely not difficult for him to find two people with such distinctive characteristics.
