Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 339 You Are Wrong

"Mr. Lin, since you are willing to give me 200 million US dollars in promotion fees but are unwilling to add more production fees, I really don't understand what you are thinking."

I am afraid that not only Kars, but even other people will be confused by Lin Daoqiu's approach.

Lin Daoqiu thinks it's normal for Kars to have such thoughts, because he doesn't know how powerful this "Home Alone" is.

This film was released in 1990, without the big cast joining, it set a box office of 8000 million US dollars in North America at that time.

And because of this, it won the North American annual box office champion in 1990, which is simply a miracle.

"Carls, maybe there will be many big-budget movies that will be put on the screen one by one in the future, but movies are still telling stories in the final analysis. Sometimes as long as the story is told well, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money."

From Kars's point of view, Lin Daoqiu is very confident. Although he doesn't know where the other party's confidence comes from, at least Kars appreciates this kind of confidence.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Kars was not worried that he would do nothing. Although it was a bit difficult to promote a movie with a production fee of only 500 million, it was a script written by Lin Daoqiu.

If he is worried, he can choose to get a reward of 200 million US dollars, so it has nothing to do with him if the box office hits the street in the end.

"Why don't you help me choose, should I get 200 million or the box office share?"

Kars suddenly asked Lin Daoqiu a very strange question. He actually wanted the other party to help him choose.

"Is this still a question? Judging from my confidence in this movie, it's definitely better for you to get 5.00% of the box office than to get $200 million."

Originally, Kars thought that Lin Daoqiu would persuade him to take 200 million instead of the box office share, but he didn't expect that the other party would give an answer contrary to his own idea.

"Hollywood is not the only two film companies, Fox and Warner. Although this matter is a bit difficult, I can give it a try."

After Kars finished speaking, he smiled and raised the cup in his hand. It seemed that he was planning to fall into this pit.

"I have to say that you made a very wise choice this time. Happy New Year."

After the two had a drink, they both burst into laughter. Although Kars hadn't even read the script yet, based on his blind trust in Lin Daoqiu, he decided to take over the job.

…………

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire Xiangjiang River was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere, but this had nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu, because he had already boarded the plane to Neon yesterday.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't like things like touching the scene to create love. He has already experienced it last year, so this time he plans to stay in a different place.

Otherwise, sitting alone at home in a daze, and then listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, that feeling will make people feel very sad.

"Mr. Lin, happy new year."

Because of his outstanding performance last time, Xiaoliang has been recruited by Dongbao as an official employee.

Speaking of which, all of this is because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship. If he hadn't said a good word for Xiaoliang in front of Matsuoka Isao, Xiaoliang might not be able to join Dongbao so easily.

"Happy together."

This time Lin Daoqiu was on a private trip, so he didn't plan to visit Dongbao and Matsuoka Isao.

Originally, Isao Matsuoka wanted to chat with Lin Daoqiu about cooperation, but since the other party was not interested for the time being, he had no choice but to give up.

Although he failed to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu this time, last year's "Mission Impossible" has already made Dongbao a lot of money.

The box office of 30 billion yen made this "Mission Impossible" the annual box office champion of Neon in 1979.

In order to get in touch with Lin Daoqiu, Isao Matsuoka still sent Xiaoliang to Lin Daoqiu's identity as a translator.

"The hotel has been booked. According to your request, the five-star hotel suite you stayed in last time was booked. In addition, Mr. Uemura has already arrived at the hotel to wait for you."

After Xiaoliang finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just nodded and said nothing. After all, these are very simple things, and they can be settled with just two phone calls.

After leaving the airport, Lin Daoqiu got into the car and suddenly asked Xiaoliang about Chunzi's recent situation.

"Miss Junko went to Dongbao's Arts School to study after you left. She works very hard, so the teachers like her very much, and President Matsuoka has signed her a long-term contract for 15 years."

From Xiao Liang's point of view, being able to enter Dongbao and become an actor under its banner is the dream of many boys and girls in Nihong, even Junko thinks so.

But Lin Daoqiu frowned after listening to Xiao Liang's words, because he didn't know about this matter before, and it was entirely Matsuoka Isao's own idea.

Xiaoliang saw that Lin Daoqiu immediately showed displeasure after he finished speaking, and he immediately realized that Lin Daoqiu was very dissatisfied with Matsuoka Kou's decision.

Secretly keeping this matter in mind, Xiao Liang planned to report the situation to Matsuoka Kou quickly. After all, he not only served as Lin Daoqiu's translator, but also helped Matsuoka Kou to scout for information.

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything along the way, he closed his eyes and rested in the car until the hotel.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Lin Daoqiu opened the door and saw Tomohisa Uemura standing at the gate of the hotel to welcome him as soon as he got out of the car.

"President Lin, long time no see."

At this time, Uemura Tomohisa has improved a lot compared to before, and the most special thing is his eyes.

When Lin Daoqiu met him for the first time before, Uemura Tomohisa's eyes were all gloomy, because at that time he couldn't see the future at all, it can be said that the whole person was in a state of confusion.

But over the past few months, Uemura Tomohisa, with the support of Lin Daoqiu, slowly opened a manga studio step by step, and the "One Piece" they are drawing now has gradually gained some fame.

Even this comic has been serialized in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" for almost a month. It can be said that Tomohisa Uemura has realized the biggest dream in his life.

"You have worked hard during this time, let's go upstairs and talk."

For Uemura Tomohisa, Lin Daoqiu is still very satisfied with his work attitude during the recent period.

Knowing that he has no talent, he and his friends have been working diligently every day for the past few months.

Even though they haven't made any outstanding performances yet, Lin Daoqiu believes that "One Piece" will definitely become popular after a period of serialization.

"This is the last few issues of One Piece that have been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, please have a look."

After going upstairs, as soon as he sat down in the room, Uemura Tomohisa brought the recent issues of "Weekly Shonen Jump" to Lin Daoqiu.

After receiving the manga handed over by Tomohisa Uemura, Lin Daoqiu opened it and read it carefully.

Originally, Uemura Tomohisa was looking forward to hearing words of praise from Lin Daoqiu, because this was the success of their hard work over the past few months.

But what Uemura Tomohisa didn't expect was that the more Lin Daoqiu looked at it, the more he frowned. It seemed that he was not very satisfied with this comic.

Then Lin Daoqiu suddenly said something that shocked Tomohisa Uemura.

"You seem to be drawing incorrectly..."
