Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 223 It's Still Here
After the filming of all the scenes in Paris, Lin Daoqiu didn't stay long, and he directly returned to Xiangjiang with the crew.

Right after getting off the plane, Lin Daoqiu saw Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun coming to pick him up.

I clearly remembered that I didn't ask them to pick up the plane, but just told them my return time.

And what's strange is that these two guys seem to have something wrong, as if they want to say something but dare not say it.

Lin Daoqiu ignored them at first, and after he sent Lin Qingxia into the car, he let Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun get into the same car with him.

"What happened?"

After getting into the car, Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to ask questions, because seeing the appearance of these two guys, he knew that something must be wrong with them.

"Actually, Brother Qiu, there is something we want to ask you about."

Apart from coming to pick up Lin Daoqiu today, the two of them also wanted to ask him to make up his mind.

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Lei Juekun sent someone to find us, and said that as long as our new film is released to him, not only will the initial fee be waived, but the box office revenue will also be [-]% or [-]%."

At this time, Lei Juekun hadn't announced the cancellation of the basic fee, so Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun thought that the other party made an exception for them.

When Lin Daoqiu heard that this was the case, it was no wonder that these two guys were hesitant.

"So you're moved?"

Both Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun nodded in embarrassment.

I have to say that the waiver of the base fee can indeed attract many independent producers.

After all, the production cost of movies is not low, and it is of course better to earn more.

"It's not just us. It is said that Lei Juekun has approached many people, and I heard that some of them have been persuaded by him."

Hearing this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but smile.

After all, the move of waiving the subsidy fee is already a way to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot.

There are quite a few movies that were left in the warehouse to feed the earth because they couldn't pay the basic fee. Lei Juekun's trick happened to save many people.

Those people's movies can't be screened by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, so naturally they don't worry about being blocked by the other party.

"Mr. Zou and Sixth Uncle are determined to block those who take refuge in Lei Juekun. If you dare to go there, your movies will only be shown in Lei Juekun's theaters in the future."

In fact, before coming here, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun had already thought of this result, but those were just guesses.

But it wasn't until Lin Daoqiu said this sentence that they realized that it was not a rumor but a truth.

If that's the case, it's better not to take the risk.

After all, compared with Lei Juekun, Zou Wenhuai and Shao Runfu's deterrence is stronger.

"Your movie isn't over yet, is it?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked about the movie the two of them made.

"Not yet, it will take at least a month to post-production."

Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun have put in a lot of effort in this "Applause", so of course they want to keep improving.

Hearing this, Lin Daoqiu suddenly remained silent, and Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun could only look at him like this.

"Then take your time to shoot, don't worry, it will be fine after two months."

These two guys were puzzled when they heard what Lin Daoqiu said. You must know that the longer the shooting time, the more money will be spent.

They want to finish filming and release it earlier, but Lin Daoqiu asked them to film for an extra month. Why?
In the end, Lin Daoqiu didn't tell them why, after all, he wouldn't tell anyone about it.

On the other hand, Lei Juekun spent a large sum of money to renovate the four theaters in the theater chain, as well as those purchased from others.

Now the progress has been halfway through, and in more than a month, the new theater will be able to open for business.

With the support of Lei Juekun, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin and Zeng Zhiwei established a film company called Struggle.

Lei Juekun has already explained that their entrepreneurial work must be a sensation, so he has no upper limit on the amount of investment in this film.

It is a good thing to have money, but the question is whether the things that are photographed can sell well or not is another matter.

Originally, the entrepreneurial work of Struggle Film Company should be a remake of TVB's TV series "The Wrong Door God"

But because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship, this drama did not appear at all, so it is naturally impossible for them to remake it.

And with the fact that they have already transferred to Lei Juekun's side, it is even more unlikely that Run Run Shaw will agree with them to remake TVB's works.

Therefore, the entrepreneurial work of Struggle Company has become "Crazy Big Brother" produced and directed by Mai Jia, written by Huang Baiming, and starring Shi Tian.

When this movie was about to open in the new theaters, it would be Lei Juekun's main target, so Maijia and the others didn't dare to be sloppy.

For this reason, the five people almost always stay up late to discuss the script, and staying up all night is already their routine.

With their hard work, the filming of the movie "Crazy Old Thousand" went smoothly.

"In a month's time, the new theater chain will officially open to the public, and you must give me credit for it."

Lei Juekun visited the set in person this day, to cheer up Mai Jia and others.

"Don't worry, boss, we will work hard."

Mai Jia and others were very happy that Lei Juekun paid so much attention to him, after all, they had never received such treatment in Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers before.

On the other side, Jiahe also kept a close eye on Lei Juekun's situation.

When he learned that they planned to use "Crazy Old Thousand" as the opening work, Zou Wenhuai decided to use Yuen Biao's "Miscellaneous Boy" to fight.

"Lei Juekun wants to have a good start, but I will make you a bad start."

In Zou Wenhuai's view, it is absolutely no problem to use Yuen Biao to fight against Mai Jia and others.

Not only him, but even He Guanchang thought so, after all, Yuen Biao's achievements lay there.

Apart from Jiahe, Run Run Shaw would naturally not make Lei Juekun feel better.

Written and directed by Chu Yuan, starring Fu Sheng and Guo Youhua, "Peerless Twins" is already in full swing for filming.

It seems that a battle without gunpowder is about to start in Xiangjiang.

While the three families were fighting so fiercely, Lin Daoqiu was very relaxed, because this time he had no intention of entering the arena.

So this battle has nothing to do with him at all, this time he can be a spectator and see how the three families fight.

But Lin Daoqiu can't be completely idle, because something that gives him a headache is about to happen.

On the fifth day after returning to Xiangjiang, the crew will enter the Qingshuiwan studio to continue the next filming.

As the two Shaw Brothers actors, Jiang Dawei and Guo Youhua naturally also joined the filming group.

Counting it, Lin Daoqiu has not seen Guo Youhua for a long time, and several months have passed since the last time.

What's more terrible is that if Lin Qingxia and Guo Youhua talk about their own affairs, they don't know how to remedy it.

So with trepidation, Lin Daoqiu finally stepped into the Qingshuiwan studio.

　Thank you, smoke-free star big monthly ticket!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
