Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2281 Absolutely bad movie

No matter how many times he saw Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei always felt very nervous. In front of Lin Daoqiu, he always got used to lowering his head unconsciously.

Compared with Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jiawei seems to be more relaxed, but it is only a little better than Liu Zhenwei.

"Mr. Lin..."

"You are here, sit down."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the sofa opposite him, and then Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei walked over and sat down.

Not long after, Zhong Chuhong brought up two cups of poured tea.

"You talk, I'll go up and read."

Zhong Chuhong didn't intend to stay with her, so she turned around and went upstairs after she finished speaking.

After Zhong Chuhong left, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei were still sitting there watching Lin Daoqiu motionlessly.

"Don't look at me like that, drink some tea, by the way, did you bring the script?"

Liu Zhenwei nodded quickly, and immediately handed the script of "The Ghost Police Office" to Lin Daoqiu.

After receiving the script handed over by Liu Zhenwei, Lin Daoqiu looked down and found that the name of the movie was exactly the same as the one he had seen in his previous life, "The Ghost Police Office".

Opening the script, Lin Daoqiu carefully read the script written by Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei.

Don't mention the logic, basically this is a comedy movie dressed in a ghost movie.

In Xiangjiang in this era, it can be said that movies of this theme can be seen everywhere.

And not only at this time, Xiangjiang has been dominated by action movies and comedy movies for a long time, and it has always been like this.

In less than 5 minutes, Lin Daoqiu finished reading the script of "The Devil's Office".

"Well written..."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly gave a very good evaluation, which made Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei very happy.

But then Lin Daoqiu suddenly added another sentence.

"It's a really bad movie."

The two who had just been happy for a short time lowered their heads in shame when they heard what Lin Daoqiu said.

"Okay, I don't have time to talk to you guys. Since you can write such a script, I'll let you practice your skills. With a budget of 200 million, you should be able to make this movie. Of course, don't even think about finding any big stars. , go figure it out yourself."

Lin Daoqiu gave a budget of 200 million, and at that time the box office will have to be at least 500 million to return the cost. As long as the box office of 500 million can be sold in Xiangjiang, then he can make some money by selling at the port.

Putting the script on the table, Lin Daoqiu looked at them calmly after finishing speaking.

Liu Zhenwei had already failed the filming of "The Saint of Gamblers" before, if "The Ghost House" is not good this time, let alone Lin Daoqiu, he himself will not be able to pass this level.

"Shooting with dim sum, although the script is not very good, it is not so bad."

If Lin Daoqiu looked at the movie "The Ghost Police Office" from the perspective of Lin Daoqiu at this time, it is naturally impossible to catch his eyes.

But if this movie is filmed, it will be good for the audience to relieve their boredom, provided that they can make this movie well.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to make this movie well, and we will never let you down again."

The pressure in Liu Zhenwei's heart can be imagined, but he is unwilling to miss this opportunity to prove himself.

After all, this is a script written by him and Wong Kar-wai, and he feels that he should have full control over the play.

After leaving Zhong Chuhong's villa, the two of them got into the car and just sat down firmly when Wang Jiawei noticed that Liu Zhenwei next to him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lin puts a lot of pressure on you, right?"

Wang Jiawei looked at Liu Zhenwei and said with a smile.

Liu Zhenwei nodded. In front of Lin Daoqiu, he didn't know why he was always nervous and couldn't relax.

"If we don't make a good filming of "The Ghost Office" this time, I guess you won't even dare to meet Mr. Lin in the future."

"If the movie doesn't make a good film by that time, then you don't want to be in the film industry anymore, let's change careers together."

Liu Zhenwei cast a blank stare at Wang Jiawei, and he came to tease himself even at this time, without looking at when it was.

After Liu Zhenwei and the others left, Lin Daoqiu turned and went upstairs to find Zhong Chuhong.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Zhong Chuhong didn't even need to turn her head to know that it was Lin Daoqiu who had come.

"Have you finished talking to them?"

"Um……"

Lin Daoqiu walked behind Zhong Chuhong and hugged her gently.

"The talk should go smoothly so quickly, right?"

Although Zhong Chuhong didn't know how long it had passed, she felt that the time passed not so quickly, so she felt that Lin Daoqiu's conversation with them should have gone smoothly.

"Those two guys came to me with a really bad movie, but in the end I decided to invest in them."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Zhong Chuhong turned her head and looked at the other party in surprise. She didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu invested in them since they thought that Liu Zhenwei and the others wrote a bad movie.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong's shocked eyes, Lin Daoqiu explained to her with a smile.

"Although I like good movies, basically the quality of the movies released by Xiangjiang every year is uneven, and I can't expect every one of their movies to be beautifully written. Sometimes this kind of movie doesn't look very good. Movies need to appear in theaters too."

Although Lin Daoqiu has a very low evaluation of "Haunted Police Station", it does not mean that no one likes this movie.

And the cost of 200 million is just a small production at this time, even if the filming fails, Lin Daoqiu is already ready to give them practice.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Lin, who had been striving for excellence in the quality of movies before, suddenly became reasonable at this moment. If people outside knew what you said, everyone would definitely buy firecrackers early to set off."

Almost everyone who has worked with Mr. Lin knows how demanding the script of the movie is.

It is precisely because of this that among the movies produced by New Oriental, there are still some standards.

"Isn't it good to keep improving? It's just that I only demanded this from myself at the beginning, but later this demand spread to them, but this is definitely more good than bad for them."

"Not everyone is as talented and capable as you. In fact, in my opinion, most of them are ordinary people. Whether a movie can be sold or not is basically based on luck. It's just that compared with others, you have surpassed Beyond the realm of ordinary people."

In fact, Zhong Chuhong still can't figure out why the scripts directed or written by Lin Daoqiu are basically 12% hits. This situation has lasted for [-] years.

Perhaps Lin Daoqiu's attitude towards film excellence is the reason why he has been able to be so successful?
"Just think you're praising me."

Lin Daoqiu leaned his head on Zhong Chuhong's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you are the best."
