Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 372
After a full 4 minutes, Langmeyer put down the paper from his hand.

But it seemed that he was hesitant to speak, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart at this moment.

In Langmeyer's opinion, the plot of "Home Alone" can only be said to be very average, not outstanding, but it is not so bad.

If it were a newcomer submitting such a script everywhere, absolutely no company would be interested in it, and there should be no one stupid enough to do so.

But now Lin Daoqiu's name is put on the front of this script, which makes Langmeyer have to seriously consider whether to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu once.

"Mr. Lin, how much is the production cost of this movie?"

Langmeyer wanted to know how much Lin Daoqiu planned to pay for the film, and how much Universal would pay for it.

"The production cost of this film is about 500 million US dollars, and I personally funded the filming."

To make such a comedy movie for $500 million can only be said to be average, and it is definitely not a big production.

However, there is one thing that makes Langmeyer very satisfied. For this cooperation, Universal does not need to pay for the production fee, but only needs to be responsible for the distribution. This can reduce a lot of risks for Universal.

"I don't know what Mr. Lin wants from Universal?"

Langmeyer is already a little inclined to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, but he has to figure out what the other party wants first.

After collecting the paper on the table and putting it in his pocket, Lin Daoqiu directly put forward his request to Lang Mayer.

"The box office is divided in half. When it is released, Universal has to arrange 1500 screens for this movie. In addition, it will increase the intensity of publicity before the release."

Lin Daoqiu's three requirements, ordinary directors or producers would not even dare to mention them in front of Langmeyer, even one of them was very reluctant.

It is conceivable that after listening to these requests made by Lin Daoqiu, Langmeyer might have been frightened by the requests made by the other party.

Because the specifications that Lin Daoqiu wanted were requirements that well-known producers dared to put forward, and basically these conditions were matched by big-budget movies.

If Lin Daoqiu brought a big-budget action movie today, Langmeyer would agree to his request after a little thought.

But now what he brought was a comedy, and it was a movie with an investment of only 500 million US dollars, which made it difficult for Langmeyer to nod.

So when Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Langmeyer fell into silence again. He wanted to refuse, but on the other hand he wanted to give it a try, because he always felt that Lin Daoqiu might surprise him.

"If Universal is willing to cooperate with me, then I can give "The Mummy" which is currently being filmed to Universal for distribution."

Seeing Langmeyer's hesitation, Lin Daoqiu knew that if he didn't throw out this bait, he might have to find someone again.

But there is no way to do this. Although he is still a little famous in Hollywood, it is only limited to action movies.

Now that a comedy film is suddenly released, it is normal that no one wants to take risks with him, so he can only use the distribution rights of "The Mummy" as an exchange.

After all, it has been delayed for almost a week in Hollywood, and it is not a good thing to procrastinate like this, so Lin Daoqiu can only find a way to settle this matter as soon as possible.

""mummy"?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu mention this name suddenly, Langmeyer immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression.

"This is an adventure action movie with an investment of 2000 million US dollars. The heroine is Brigitte Lin, who previously played "Mission Impossible", and I plan to use Hollywood stars for the male lead."

Compared with "Home Alone", Langmeyer is obviously more interested in "The Mummy" mentioned by Lin Daoqiu. After all, this is a big-budget movie, and Brigitte Lin also plays the leading role in it.

You must know that Brigitte Lin became famous in Hollywood because of "Mission Impossible". Although she is not at the level of a big star, basically everyone who has watched that movie will fall in love with her involuntarily, and Langmeyer is one of them.

"Can you tell me about the plot of "The Mummy" in detail?"

Now Langmeyer only has "The Mummy" in his mind, and other things seem to have nothing to do with him.

Seeing that the other party was so interested, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to introduce the basic plot of "The Mummy" to him, and they chatted for almost two hours.

"Please give this movie to Universal for distribution."

Langmeyer liked the "Mummy" that Lin Daoqiu said very much. He felt that as long as this movie was made, it would definitely cause a sensation in Hollywood.

"Then my "Home Alone"?"

Lin Daoqiu did not forget his purpose of coming here today, if the other party is still hesitating, then what Lin Daoqiu said before is probably in vain.

"I promise you everything Mr. Lin just said, and you can sign the contract today."

The reason why Langmeyer agreed so readily was because Lin Daoqiu threw out the movie "The Mummy".

Otherwise, whether Langmeyer would agree to accept Lin Daoqiu's request to release "Home Alone", I'm afraid this is really an unknown thing.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation."

Lin Daoqiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when the matter was finally settled.

It is conceivable that after "Home Alone" is released, he will never encounter such problems in Hollywood.

…………

For a 24-year-old young man who has just come to Hollywood from Australia and has only participated in two films, it is hard not to be excited when he suddenly receives a call from the screenwriter of last year's box office champion.

In order to leave a good impression on Lin Daoqiu, Mel Gibson dressed up carefully before going out.

But even though he had already prepared in advance, he was still not very satisfied with his appearance before going out. If he was not worried that he would be late, this kid would probably continue to do it.

Hastily rushed to the coffee shop where he had an appointment with the other party. Mel Gibson thought he had arrived very early, because there were still 5 minutes before the appointed time.

But as soon as he entered the door, Lin Daoqiu noticed this frizzy young man.

"The guy we dated today is not this young man, is it?"

Lin Daoqiu reminded Kars who came with him.

Kars turned his head and found that Mel Gibson was looking around at the entrance of the restaurant, because he had never seen Lin Daoqiu and Kars, so he didn't know what each other looked like.

"It's him. How about it? Isn't he handsome?"

After Kars finished speaking, he stood up immediately, and then gestured to Mel Gibson at the door.

Mel Gibson saw Carls waving at him, so he quickly walked towards them. Mel Gibson didn't expect that they would arrive before him.
