Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2008 Harvest the mulberry elm, lose the east corner

"If that's the case, then you guys should hurry up and prepare the script."

When Wang Jing and the others heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he and Wen Jun instantly petrified.

The purpose of their coming to Lin Daoqiu today is to get the script for the sequel of "God of Gamblers" from Lin Daoqiu.

But now Lin Daoqiu asked them to write the sequel of "God of Gamblers", isn't this a joke?
While they were still in a daze, Lin Daoqiu continued.

"Originally, I planned to finish filming "God of Gamblers" and continue to film "The God of Gamblers", but since you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, then I will let Liu Zhenwei play the leading role in the film "The God of Gamblers."

Originally, both "God of Gamblers" and "The God of Gamblers" were given to Wang Jing to shoot, but since he wants to start the sequel of "God of Gamblers" immediately, it is naturally impossible for Lin Daoqiu to wait for him to finish filming "The God of Gamblers" before filming "The God of Gamblers". ".

So this time Lin Daoqiu intends to give Liu Zhenwei a chance to be the director of "The Holy Gambler".

Although Wang Jing had thought before coming here to see if he could start filming "The God of Gamblers" after filming the sequel of "God of Gamblers", but now it seems that Lin Daoqiu has no intention of waiting for him, so "The God of Gamblers" is a natural film. Just missed him.

"Autumn... Brother Qiu..."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wen Jun looked at him nervously and said, "Actually, we are here today to ask you for the script of the sequel of "God of Gamblers."

If Lin Daoqiu decides this matter like this, then they will be responsible for the script of the sequel of "God of Gamblers".

Although "God of Gamblers" has received a huge response in this Spring Festival file, it does not mean that the sequel can be as popular as this drama if it is written casually.

Without Lin Daoqiu's script, Wang Jing and Wen Jun's confidence in the sequel would definitely be greatly reduced.

"The script for the sequel of "God of Gamblers"? How do you think that I have already written the script for the sequel of "God of Gamblers"?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Jun and asked with a smile.

In the previous life, the sequel of "God of Gamblers" was released after five years, and then won the box office of 5253 million in one fell swoop, and "Drunken Master II" that defeated Jackie Chan that year successfully became the top box office champion of the year.

The director and screenwriter of the sequel to "God of Gamblers" are both Wang Jing, so Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to overstep his authority and directly hand it over to them themselves.

But now Wang Jing doesn't have that much confidence in himself. Although "God of Gamblers" is basically sure to win the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival, most of the success of this drama is due to Lin Daoqiu.

Now let the three of them be in charge of the sequel of "God of Gamblers", Wang Jing is worried that if the filming of this movie fails at that time, it will be over.

So he quickly winked at Wen Jun, hoping that he would work hard and try to get Lin Daoqiu to write the script for the sequel of "God of Gamblers" for them.

"Don't look at him, I don't know how to write the script of "God of Gamblers" and I don't have that much time, so if you want to shoot, you can write it yourself or pay someone to write it, or you can cooperate with others, But you don’t have to think about it on my side.”

Lin Daoqiu directly shattered Wang Jing's last hope, making him no longer have any illusions.

"If you want to eat fish but are afraid of thorns, what can you do? Work hard on your own. You have passed such a big difficulty this time. Is it so difficult for you to just write a script?"

It seems that Lin Daoqiu's mood seems to be silent, and he always smiles when he speaks.

If he kept a straight face, then Wang Jing and the others wouldn't even dare to mention it.

"Brother Qiu is right. Writing a script is actually nothing to us. Let's settle this matter like this. Then Brother Qiu, how do you plan the production cost of the sequel?"

Since there is no way to get Lin Daoqiu to write a script, Wen Jun hopes that the production cost of the sequel to "God of Gamblers" can be increased a bit.

1000 million can still make a sequel, but Chow Yun-fat and others will definitely have a somewhat higher salary because of the huge sales of "God of Gamblers". If the budget is not increased, then this sequel may not be easy to shoot.

"This time I will give you 500 million yuan in production fees, including the actors' salaries. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"God of Gamblers" sold well in Xiangjiang, so it will naturally make good income in other places, so Lin Daoqiu waved his hand, and directly allocated a budget of 500 million to them for the sequel.

Although they failed to get Lin Daoqiu's script, the production cost of the sequel has increased by 500 million. This is definitely gratifying news for them.

"After the sale of "God of Gamblers" is over, I will transfer your dividends to your account."

Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to squeeze the three of them, since the show was a hit, it was natural to give them a generous dividend, otherwise why did they work so hard to make the show?

"Thank you Brother Qiu...Thank you Brother Qiu..."

It can be said that among the many words that Lin Daoqiu said today, this sentence is the one that makes the three of them the happiest.

Although I don't know how much the final dividend will be, I believe that everyone can get at least a few million.

Seeing the three leaving his office happily, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help shaking his head.

"God of Gamblers" is indeed a good movie, but it's a pity that Wang Jing missed "God of Gamblers" this time in order to catch up with the sequel of "God of Gamblers". Is this the will of God?

Since he does not have this blessing, Lin Daoqiu will not force him to take the film.

"Call Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi and let them come to see me."

Less than half an hour had passed since Fang Jinsheng called the two men to arrive at the New Oriental Building.

When Lin Daoqiu called, Liu Zhenwei was still writing the script at home, while Zhou Xingchi was alone at home in a daze.

I don't know if the two made an appointment, but Liu Zhenwei went to Zhou Xingchi first and rushed into the elevator behind him.

"Mr. Lin brought you here?"

Liu Zhenwei looked a little surprised when he saw Zhou Xingchi.

"Congratulations, Director Liu, I've already watched the film you filmed, "Rich and Rich". It's really good."

Liu Zhenwei served as the assistant director and screenwriter of "Wealth is Impressing". If there is no accident, the box office of this drama will probably be a little over 2000 million when it ends up in the draw.

If other directors heard what Zhou Xingchi said, they would definitely be very upset.

Because "Wealthy Man" has a good box office performance, but it is at the bottom of the four dramas in the Spring Festival.

Fortunately, Liu Zhenwei didn't care about these things. Although he was not the director of this film, he spent a lot of heart and soul to assist Gao Zhisen in filming this film.

Liu Zhenwei is very satisfied to get the current result, so Zhou Xingchi's congratulations are very useful to him.
