Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2133 Screenwriter meeting

"Actually, there is nothing special, so you don't need to ask, anyway, you will know later."

Fang Jinsheng thought about it and still didn't tell Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng, because Lin Daoqiu didn't ask him to tell others the exact words.

Tsui Hark saw that Fang Jinsheng was unwilling to say that he naturally did not dare to force him, so he could only take Shi Nansheng to leave.

After Tsui Hark left, Fang Jinsheng knocked on the door of Lin Daoqiu's office.

"Just now Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng came to me to ask about the rumor. I let them go without telling them."

Fang Jinsheng told Lin Daoqiu about Tsui Hark's visit just now.

Lin Daoqiu nodded at first, then he looked up at Fang Jinsheng and said.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Fang Jinsheng nodded, and came in to tell Lin Daoqiu that he wanted to ask Lin Daoqiu if he wanted to clarify, otherwise the rumors would have intensified, and the rumors had spread outrageously.

If it continues like this, it may affect Lin Daoqiu's reputation, and may even cause some unnecessary commotion.

"Do you think it is necessary to hold a press conference or something, and clarify this matter, otherwise the rumors outside are too outrageous."

Fang Jinsheng felt very guilty for not doing what Lin Daoqiu asked him to do well this time.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. He didn't have any idea of ​​holding a clarification meeting, but this matter should indeed be explained.

"How about this, you gather all the screenwriters under New Oriental and Dongshi, and ask them to come to New Oriental for a meeting tomorrow. I have something to tell them."

Fang Jinsheng nodded quickly, then immediately turned around and went out to contact those people.

Xiangjiang's screenwriters are indeed very popular in recent years, especially those famous screenwriters, whose scripts start at least a million dollars.

Some even get five to ten points of the box office revenue after the movie is released, but this is only for a small number of famous screenwriters, and most of the screenwriters' incomes are more than enough.

Those who are capable have switched to become directors, and those who are not capable can only continue to be screenwriters, and they can make some money.

Compared with the previous life, the screenwriters of Xiangjiang in this life are considered to be very good in terms of status and income.

Take Huang Ying who helped Lin Daoqiu write "Legend of Sword and Fairy" as an example. He earned tens of millions of dollars just from the follow-up manuscript fee for the publication of the novel and the script writing for Dongshi.

Compared with the tragic situation in the previous life, when he was so miserable that he had to borrow a loan shark, and was beaten to death by the loan shark at home and was only discovered afterwards, Huang Ying at this time was considered very lucky.

And all of this is because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship. It is because he single-handedly created the prosperity of Xiangjiang movies, and because of Lin Daoqiu's identity as a screenwriter, they can ascend to heaven.

Everyone started to pay more attention to screenwriting, at least not as much as they did in the previous life.

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu is the pinnacle of screenwriting, not only in Xiangjiang, even in the whole world, there is no place where screenwriters can surpass Lin Daoqiu.

It’s just that Lin Daoqiu feels that it can’t go on like this. He has to let everyone support themselves, otherwise he can’t always rely on himself to be the shining point. This is obviously not the state that a mature market should have.

After receiving the notice, those screenwriters arrived at New Oriental on time the next day.

Counting there are more than 50 screenwriters, and these are only screenwriters who work in New Oriental and East TV. If other screenwriters from Xiangjiang are added, this conference room may not be able to sit down.

Huang Ying, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Deng Jingsheng, Huang Bingyao, Huang Baiming, etc., there are many people who can name them.

Everyone didn't know why Lin Daoqiu called them here today, and everyone chatted before Lin Daoqiu came.

They are all acquaintances, so there is nothing to shy away from.

And because Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had the best relationship with Lin Daoqiu, everyone wanted to know from them what the recent rumors were all about.

"Brother Qiu is going to retire? Stop making trouble, just listen to those things, this kind of thing is impossible if you think about it."

Although Wen Jun also heard those rumors, he didn't take them seriously at all. He and Zheng Danrui had just returned to Hong Kong for a few days after filming "God of Gamblers 2" in Baodao.

But the two of them didn't think it was true from the beginning to the end, so they didn't ask Lin Daoqiu to find out.

Seeing Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's reaction in this way, everyone immediately understood that the rumors outside must be random, otherwise how could they have no reaction at all.

"I just said how could Mr. Lin choose to retire at this time, he is still so young, even if he retires, it may not be until four or fifty years later."

Lin Daoqiu can be said to be the youngest among all the people present. Everyone felt that even if they retired, Lin Daoqiu would not be able to retire. No matter how quickly, it would have to wait at least ten or twenty years before it was possible.

The people present were very curious, why did Lin Daoqiu summon everyone here today, and nothing happened in the Hong Kong film industry recently, which made them feel very puzzled.

"Could it be that we want to make a big movie like before? But the Performing Arts Association has already been established, and the buildings have already been built. There is no reason for this, right?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know, it was also very sudden when I received the news."

Everyone, look at me and I think you don't know what's going on, that's why they wanted to ask Wen Jun to see if he could give everyone a thorough explanation, so that everyone can deal with it when Lin Daoqiu arrives. .

"Speaking of why Mr. Lin called us here today, Brother Jun let everyone know."

Wen Jun actually didn't know what happened. After receiving the news yesterday, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he went out for a cool night, which made him almost get up late this morning.

If Zheng Danrui hadn't pulled him along, I'm afraid Wen Jun might really be late today, and he would be doomed.

"Don't ask so many questions, you'll know when Brother Huiqiu comes."

Wen Jun dismissed this issue with one sentence. After all, if he said something wrong, everyone would laugh at him.

Although Wen Jun didn't tell everyone what was going on in advance, everyone present felt that he must know something, but he just refused to say it.

So they could only wait for Lin Daoqiu to arrive before revealing the final mystery.

Just after nine o'clock, the door of the meeting room was pushed open from the outside, and Lin Daoqiu walked in with Fang Jinsheng.

Everyone quickly stood up and called Mr. Lin respectfully.

"Everyone please sit down."
