Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2287 Chance for Two

If there were not many people around, Lin Daoqiu would never be so polite to them.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei immediately tightened their skin. Although they didn't know what they would face next, it was conceivable that nothing good would happen.

"If I hadn't discovered it early, wouldn't it have been succeeded by you? Do you think that when the time comes to make this matter an established fact, then I won't be able to hold you accountable? Right?"

Liu Zhenwei quickly shook his head, even if he had the courage, he would never dare to have such an idea.

"Mr. Lin is not like that. We just want to shoot "Haunted Police Station" as soon as possible. We hope that we can get a good result to prove ourselves. There is absolutely no other idea, I can swear."

After finishing speaking, Liu Zhenwei raised three fingers in front of Lin Daoqiu, as if he was going to swear in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu looked at Liu Zhenwei and frowned.

"Put your hands down, I'm not interested in watching you perform here."

From Lin Daoqiu's appearance, he could tell that he was very angry now, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei were too scared to move.

They thought to themselves that they must be villains this time, not only would they not be able to shoot "Haunted Police Station", maybe they would not even have the chance to develop in Xiangjiang in the future.

Seeing Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei trembling with fright, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help laughing.

But in order to teach these two guys a lesson, so that they don't dare to use their names to bluff outside, so Lin Daoqiu must continue to act.

"From your explanation just now, it seems that you really want to prove that the script you wrote is not bad, is that so?"

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei nodded quickly, they really thought so.

Then Lin Daoqiu smiled slightly.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll give you a chance. Isn't the budget of "Ghost Office" not enough? Then I'll give you another 100 million."

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei raised their heads in surprise when they heard that Lin Daoqiu suddenly added an additional budget to them.

Originally, they thought that they were going to be guillotined this time, but what they didn't expect was that there was a sudden turning point at this time.

Could it be that Lin Daoqiu planned to spare them this time?If this is the case, then Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei almost died laughing.

"But I can tell you in advance that my money is not easy to get. Since the budget of this movie is 300 million, then the box office in Xiangjiang will reach at least 500 million..."

Lin Daoqiu paused for a moment, and then continued: "If you can't even get 500 million at the box office, then you can change careers in advance."

Compared with the 6000 million box office pressure on Wen Jun and Wang Jing, Lin Daoqiu's pressure on Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei this time can be said to be much smaller.

But for them, from the very beginning, they never thought that the movie "Haunted Police Station" could get more than 1000 million box office.

In their opinion, it is already a very good thing that this drama can get a box office score of 800 million.

But now Lin Daoqiu suddenly doubled the box office requirements, which is simply an insurmountable horizontal ditch for them.

"Mr. Lin, this..."

Liu Zhenwei looked at Lin Daoqiu with a look of embarrassment on his face. He felt that the request made by the other party was too high.

"If you think 500 million is too low, I can increase it to 2000 million. What do you think?"

Liu Zhenwei quickly shook his head, he didn't even think that "Ghosts" could get 500 million at the box office, if Lin Daoqiu added another 500 million, it would be like killing him.

"Mr. Lin, we will work hard, please rest assured."

At this time, Wang Jiawei suddenly agreed, causing Liu Zhenwei who was next to him to look at him with a shocked expression.

Wang Jiawei has no way to explain to Liu Zhenwei now, he decided to agree to Lin Daoqiu's request first, and wait until he goes back to say anything.

Seeing Wang Jiawei's serious expression, Liu Zhenwei couldn't say anything more, and he had no right to refuse now, unless he planned to be an assistant director for the rest of his life.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we'll make a deal. The budget of "The Ghosts" will be increased to 300 million Hong Kong dollars. I hope you will work hard. I am waiting for you to bring me good news."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, the two nodded quickly, and then they left the coffee shop.

After leaving the coffee shop and getting into the taxi, Liu Zhenwei grabbed Wang Jiawei by the collar and asked angrily.

"Are you crazy? "Haunted Police Station" is going to get 500 million at the box office. Do you think this is possible?"

Wang Jiawei didn't look angry when Liu Zhenwei grabbed his collar like this, but he had a very calm expression on his face.

Patted Liu Zhenwei with his hand and grabbed his hand, Wang Jiawei explained to the other party.

"Do you think that in the situation just now, if you don't promise Mr. Lin, we will have good fruit?"

When asked by Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei was speechless.

Because of the situation just now, if Lin Daoqiu is not agreed, I am afraid that the situation they will face will be even more miserable.

So Liu Zhenwei slowly let go of his hand, but he still looked very depressed.

A box office of 500 million is an impossible task for Liu Zhenwei.

If the script of this drama was written by Lin Daoqiu, let alone 500 million, even if it is 2000 million, Liu Zhenwei is confident to win it.

But the problem now is that he and Wong Kar Wai wrote the movie "The Ghost Police Office". After watching it, Lin Daoqiu rated it as a completely bad movie.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for such a thing to get a box office score of 500 million.

"Try it and there is still a chance, but if you don't try, you won't even have a chance. Mr. Lin is giving us a chance. If we can grasp it, I won't have to be a small screenwriter in the future, and you don't have to be a deputy all the time." director."

"Of course, if we don't grasp it at that time, Xiangjiang will definitely not be able to stay here. In the end, we can only go to Baodao to develop."

Wong Kar Wai has already thought about the way out, if "Haunted Police Station" can't get 500 million by then, then he is ready to go to Treasure Island to develop.

"Going to Baodao for filming? I'm not familiar with the place, and I don't even know anyone. I must stay in Xiangjiang, and I will never go to Baodao."

Hearing that Wong Kar Wai said he would go to Taiwan for development, Lau Chun Wai's first reaction was to refuse.

Even though Baodao used to be the most important place for selling port in Xiangjiang, the only way to develop is to stay in Xiangjiang. If you go to Baodao, you will leave the mainstream film market. This is something that Liu Zhenwei will never allow and will never agree to. matter.
