Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 204 I Was the One Who Wrote the Script
This request of Sammo Hung made Lin Daoqiu face a difficult situation all at once.

Let's not talk about whether Yuen Biao can gain a foothold in Hollywood after the script is written.

How can he say that he is also a member of Golden Harvest now, if he does his best to promote him as an international superstar, it will not do Lin Daoqiu the slightest benefit at all.

Moreover, Yuen Biao developed in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in his last life, and never set foot in Hollywood.

Because of Jackie Chan's relationship in this life, Yuen Biao also wanted to join in the fun,
But Hollywood is not so fun. Jackie Chan has worked hard for many years before he won a place in Hollywood.

Lin Daoqiu is really not optimistic about what Yuen Biao can do in Hollywood.

"I'm sorry Brother Hong, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Although Sammo Hung had already made preparations before, when he really heard Lin Daoqiu's refusal, Sammo Hung couldn't help but sigh.

"I understand what Mr. Lin means, and I don't like to force others to make things difficult for me."

From Sammo Hung's point of view, Lin Daoqiu's refusal was entirely because Yuen Biao was from Golden Harvest.

If not, there may be a glimmer of hope in this matter.

"I think what A Biao needs most now is to take root in Hong Kong and expand his influence to Southeast Asia. As for going to Hollywood, now is not the time."

Lin Daoqiu said it very tactfully, but Sammo Hung could also understand that Yuen Biao was indeed a little too hasty.

He only started to act as the leading actor last year. Although he made a few films and got a good box office, but if he wants to rely on these to make a career in Hollywood, he is indeed a bit overconfident.

Because he wanted to have dinner with Lin Qingxia, Lin Daoqiu didn't talk too much with Sammo Hung, anyway, it was enough for the other party to understand what he meant.

After Lin Daoqiu left, it wasn't long before Yuan Biao pushed the door open and entered.

In fact, he was just in the box next door, and he didn't show up until Lin Daoqiu left.

"What did Mr. Lin say?"

Yuen Biao looked very nervous. In his opinion, if Lin Daoqiu was willing to help him create a film tailored for him, then he would definitely be able to make a difference in Hollywood.

Even if he can't get a high box office by then, at least he can't make Jackie Chan special.

But as soon as Yuen Biao finished asking, he saw Sammo Hung shaking his head.

"Mr. Lin is not willing to help you?"

Unexpectedly, even Sammo Hung himself could not get Lin Daoqiu to write a script for him.

"Actually, what Mr. Lin said is right. Your foundation is not stable now. It is not a good thing to rush to Hollywood in such a hurry."

Even Sammo Hung said this, which made Yuen Biao very disappointed.

Sammo Hung got up and walked to Yuen Biao's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much, the only thing we can do is to shoot the trick well. If you can expand your influence to Southeast Asia, you won't necessarily lose to Aaron."

Sammo Hung's words were actually comforting Yuen Biao, but otherwise, he didn't know how to comfort Yuen Biao.

…………

"Yuen Biao also wants to break into Hollywood?"

When Lin Qingxia heard the news, her small mouth immediately became an O shape.

When it was reported that Golden Harvest invested in the filming of "Killer's Trenches", Lin Qingxia knew that the other party was targeting her for this film.

Otherwise, it would not have been such a coincidence. Just a few days after Run Run Shaw's announcement, Golden Harvest also announced in a high-profile way that it would enter Hollywood.

It's just that Yuen Biao is unwilling to be lonely, and wants Lin Daoqiu to help him write a script, so that he can also have a chance to make a living in Hollywood.

"Why didn't you promise him?"

Brigitte Lin suddenly asked Lin Daoqiu a very stupid question.

Lin Daoqiu immediately gave the other party a supercilious look.

"If I agree to Yuen Biao, Mr. Zou and Uncle Six will probably have opinions on me by then."

If he really wrote a script for Yuen Biao, how should he explain it to Jiahe and Run Run Shaw?

Is it possible that he really thinks how great he is and wants to play around with them?
You must know that at this time, Xiangjiang's theaters are all in their hands.

If one fails, and both sides issue a banning order at the same time, then I can only flee to Treasure Island.

Brigitte Lin didn't think too much about it. Hearing Lin Daoqiu's explanation, she quickly stuck out her tongue.

"Actually, Hollywood is not so easy to mess with."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu is not very optimistic about the achievements of "Mission Impossible" in Hollywood.

If it weren't for the fact that this drama is played by a woman, it would be difficult to get a good box office if any male star of Chinese origin is replaced.

Lin Daoqiu just grasped the feminist movement that was rising in the West at this time, and wanted to use Brigitte Lin's identity as a woman to play this card.

Anyway, once the movie is released, with some publicity, it should cause quite a bit of discussion.

As for whether a good result can be obtained in the end, it still depends on the quality of the movie.

Otherwise, even if the topic is raised, the quality of the film is not good enough to attract the audience, it is useless.

"In this case, why did you spend so much money investing in this movie?"

Brigitte Lin really couldn't figure it out, since Lin Daoqiu didn't like this movie, why did he invest 400 million US dollars to make this movie? Could it be that he had too much money?
But when Brigitte Lin finished asking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stretched out a finger, and then shook his head in front of her.

"Because the person who wrote the script was me, if it were someone else, it would be almost impossible to make a name for yourself in Hollywood at this time."

"I've never seen such a stinky person."

Brigitte Lin pouted, and seemed to be quite indifferent to what Lin Daoqiu said.

"If you have time, practice English more. By the way, you can't let go of Cantonese."

When Lin Qingxia heard that she was asked to practice Cantonese and English, she immediately felt dizzy.

She looked at Lin Daoqiu pitifully, hoping that the other party could take back his life.

But this time, Lin Daoqiu did not soften his heart.

"If you want to be a good actor, you must pass the language barrier. Southeast Asia is your foundation, and Hollywood can only be regarded as an auxiliary."

If Brigitte Lin wants to break into mainstream Hollywood movies and have a place there, then the effort she will have to put in is probably unimaginable.

And it is very likely that in the end, she can only be reduced to an ordinary supporting role. Even if she has the opportunity to appear in a big production, she can only be a role that is vilified.

This is Hollywood's consistent piss. Even in the era before Lin Daoqiu, Hollywood was still making money from the mainland while making movies that vilified the Chinese.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu does not intend to let Brigitte Lin go deep into Hollywood. She should focus on Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing Lin Daoqiu's firm attitude, Brigitte Lin could only nod her head in agreement.

But when she thought of the endless things to learn every day, she suddenly lost her appetite for food.
