Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 350 Harvesting the Hong Family Class

What surprised Sammo Hung was not Lin Daoqiu's call, but because the person who called him said that Yuen Biao called him.

If you look at it this way, it means that Yuen Biao has already gone to Lin Daoqiu. As for what he will say to Lin Daoqiu, Sammo Hung can probably guess some of it.

The call from Lin Daoqiu was probably trying to persuade him to join New Oriental, but now this problem suddenly came to Sammo Hung.

I believe that Yuen Biao has already negotiated with Lin Daoqiu about joining New Oriental. If he stays in Golden Harvest, he may be very embarrassed when facing Zou Wenhuai and the others in the future.

"San Mao, if it wasn't for A Biao to come to me, I wouldn't take the initiative to call you, because I know you are a person who values ​​love and righteousness, but now that A Biao has come, you may not be able to stay in Golden Harvest." It doesn't make any sense."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Sammo Hung didn't say a word, it seemed that he was seriously considering what Lin Daoqiu said just now.

Switching to New Oriental is definitely not a bad thing for him and Yuen Biao. After all, he has worked with Lin Daoqiu for so long before, and Sammo Hung is naturally well aware of the other party's character and ability.

And with Lin Daoqiu's influence in Hollywood, he and Yuen Biao will definitely have the opportunity to show their talents in Hollywood in the future, but if they stay in Jiahe, they don't know that they will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

"It's okay if Mr. Lin asks me to transfer to New Oriental, but I hope you promise me one thing."

Sammo Hung knows that this matter is basically a done deal now, if he chooses to keep Jiahe, it must be a very stupid way.

But before agreeing to Lin Daoqiu, he hoped to get a promise from Lin Daoqiu.

"What do you think."

Lin Daoqiu did not directly agree to Sammo Hung, because he had to know what Sammo Hung wanted from him. If the request was too excessive, Lin Daoqiu would never agree to the other party.

"I hope that in at least three years, Mr. Lin will allow me and A Biao to go to Hollywood."

The reason why Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were dissatisfied with Golden Harvest was, in the final analysis, because Zou Wenhuai did not let them see the hope of going to Hollywood.

And they value Jackie Chan too much. Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung have made a lot of achievements but have not received corresponding rewards. This is what makes them dissatisfied with Golden Harvest.

"No problem, I can promise you this request now."

If it was just this requirement, there would be no problem at all for Lin Daoqiu.

And even if Sammo Hung doesn't say anything, he will let Sammo Hung and the others go to Hollywood for a while within three years.

After all, the difference between the money earned from making movies in Xiangjiang and the money made from making movies in Hollywood is not a little bit.

Originally, Sammo Hung thought that Lin Daoqiu would think about it, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, which made him very happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, but my film "Ghost Fighting Ghost" was invested by Golden Harvest. I hope to officially join New Oriental after filming this film."

Although Sammo Hung has agreed to transfer to New Oriental, he wants to finish filming "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" before leaving.

How can I say that this movie was also the investment he begged from Jiahe at the beginning, if he just walked away now, who would he be?

"No problem, I can promise you this too."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want Sammo Hung to make it difficult. Anyway, it's just a movie, and it should be finished in two or three months. Lin Daoqiu can still wait for this time.

After talking with Sammo Hung, he put down the phone, Yuen Biao looked at Lin Daoqiu nervously, because until now he didn't know whether Sammo Hung agreed or not.

"Sanmao has already agreed to come, but he wants to finish filming "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" before leaving."

Yuen Biao was not at all surprised that Sammo Hung would make this request. After all, his elder brother is the most affectionate person, and since he agreed, he would never regret it.

The thought of being able to continue fighting side by side with his elder brother made Yuen Biao very happy.

…………

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Daoqiu went to the base of the Magic Studio for inspection. It seemed that he hadn't seen Dykstra for a long time.

It has been a long time since he left the other party here and ignored him, and Lin Daoqiu felt a little guilty when he thought of this.

However, when seeing Dykstra, the other party seemed not very happy about Lin Daoqiu's arrival.

At this moment, he is working on special effects with his team in the first studio that has been built.

But when Lin Daoqiu told him that a neon special photography team was coming, Dykstra showed a puzzled expression on his face.

Then Lin Daoqiu told the other party that he was going to make a "Godzilla" movie.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to invest 5000 million US dollars to make a "Godzilla" movie?"

Dykstra first raised a question to Lin Daoqiu, because in his opinion, it is a bit too expensive to spend 5000 million US dollars to shoot a "Godzilla".

If you have this money, you might as well give him some more to study special effects technology, which is many times better than shooting "Godzilla".

When Star Wars 1 was finished, the production cost was only about 1300 million US dollars, and it has only been three years since then.

Moreover, the production cost of "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back" that he participated in before was only about 2000 million.

As a result, now Lin Daoqiu actually proposed to invest 5000 million to make a neon "Godzilla", which is simply unimaginable.

"I don't want to spend so much money. If I can, I certainly want to make the best movie with the least money."

Lin Daoqiu did not mean that the 5000 million US dollars must be invested in making a "Godzilla". In fact, they all misunderstood what Lin Daoqiu meant.

Except for the money for shooting, most of the 5000 million is for the production of special effects for Magic Studio, which is why it is so exaggerated.

In later generations, many movies exaggerated their own production costs. For example, a certain movie co-produced with Neon actually added the money from the studio.

And there are many such gimmicks, but people nowadays are still very simple, so they never thought that someone could do such a thing.

And Lin Daoqiu just added the money spent on special effects into the production fee. Speaking of which, he is already a very kind person.

"It seems that Mr. Lin already knows that special effects are a very expensive thing, but it's too late for you to regret it now, because according to your plan, it may become normal to make a movie worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future."

Although there hasn't been a major production worth over [-] million US dollars yet, with Lin Daoqiu's production speed, a film with a production cost of over [-] million US dollars may be born in a few years, and it is very likely that it will appear in Lin Daoqiu's hands .

"I don't know if it will be the norm, but I can be sure that the first movie with a production cost of over [-] million yuan will definitely be the first one I made."

Lin Daoqiu is very confident about this, but Dykstra has no doubts about it, and he is very happy to see this day coming, because it means that he will have more money to study special effects technology.
