Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 40 How to shoot what you say (please recommend tickets!)
After rejecting Jiahe's solicitation, Lin Daoqiu's life returned to peace.

He had already returned the rented house. With tens of thousands of yuan left in his hand, he rented a single-family two-story villa in the urban area at a price of 1500 yuan a month.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to make a public announcement when he moved, but when Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui learned about it, they kept encouraging Lin Daoqiu to open a few tables in the restaurant to celebrate. After all, this was also a housewarming.

Unable to stand these two guys nagging for a long time, Lin Daoqiu could only reluctantly agree, and the place was chosen at the seafood restaurant where the last green banquet was held.

"Everyone from the production team is invited, so there will be ten tables. Yuan Biao and Lin Zhengying will also invite them. I don't know if Brother Hong will come. Even if Golden Harvest Shaw is invited, he will not come. Brother Feilong will have to come." Reserve a table..."

Lin Daoqiu didn't even think about who to invite, but Zheng Danrui who was next to him helped him think about it first.

According to Zheng Danrui's calculation, ten tables can no longer accommodate those people, at least fifteen tables are needed to start.

Grabbing Zheng Danrui's hand quickly, Lin Daoqiu felt that if he was asked to add more tables, fifteen tables might not be enough, at least twenty tables would be placed.

"I'm just living in another place. It's more grand than the finale banquet. It's not good." Lin Daoqiu can only accept to invite some people he knows to come over for a small gathering. other side.

"How can this be done? Since brother Qiu is going to hold a banquet, he must make it impressive, otherwise he will not be worthy of your name."

Originally thought that Zheng Danrui would calm down after he finished speaking, but Wen Jun who was next to him also stood up to help, and he seemed more excited than Zheng Danrui.

For some reason, Lin Daoqiu always felt that there was something wrong with these two guys, and today they acted particularly assertive.

Normally, after I finished speaking, these two guys would only persuade me twice at most, and they would definitely not be as persistent as they are now.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Lin Daoqiu asked with a smile: "I always feel that there is something wrong with you today. If there is something that you didn't tell me, tell me now. If you are a step late, then I will be very angry."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wen Jun, who was originally excited, suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and immediately showed a flattering smile on his face, and even Zheng Danrui next to him was the same as him.

"Did you tell He Guanchang about the script?" Lin Daoqiu felt that apart from this incident, these two guys had nothing to make him angry.

But just as Lin Daoqiu asked, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui shook their heads in fright: "How is this possible? We have been keeping a tight lid on Golden Harvest, and no one has disclosed it."

If it wasn't for this matter, it would be okay, at least Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to make himself too famous now, after all, he is too weak now, and it would be of no benefit to him if he was too famous.

"Then who did you tell?" Lin Daoqiu asked suddenly.

"..." Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were asked by Lin Daoqiu, and there was an embarrassing expression on their faces. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu had guessed it.

But at this moment, the doorbell outside the house rang, and Lin Daoqiu said a little angrily: "Don't invite people in yet."

Only Zhang Zuming and the two guys in front of him knew about his move. Zhang Zuming was still working in the tea restaurant and would come over later. If it wasn't him, it must be someone else.

Wen Jun quickly ran downstairs to open the door, while Zheng Danrui lowered his head and did not dare to look at Lin Daoqiu, after all, this was what Lin Daoqiu had told them before.

It is meaningless to ask who it is now, Lin Daoqiu simply asked Zheng Danrui to make tea, although he didn't know who came, but it should not be a minor character.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin on his housewarming. It looks like I caught up today." The voice had already reached Lin Daoqiu's ears, but he still couldn't quite figure out who it was.

When he saw who was coming, Lin Daoqiu immediately stood up from his chair. He didn't expect these two guys to tell Huang Xizhao about the script.

"Mr. Huang is a guest who can't be invited, please take a seat." Lin Daoqiu hurriedly invited Huang Xizhao to a chair and sat down.

But Huang Xizhao shook his head and didn't sit down, but looked at Lin Daoqiu sincerely: "I came here today to ask Mr. Lin to help Li Li to defeat Wireless."

If there is any sensation in Xiangjiang recently, then "Master Qian" definitely deserves to be ranked No. 1, because just in the morning, the combined box office of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers has already exceeded [-] million.

As the first movie with a box office of tens of millions since the opening of Xiangjiang, regardless of the quality of the movie, it is enough to stand out from the crowd, and it will often be praised in the future, which can be regarded as a famous name in history.

And the main creators of this play have naturally become the focus of public attention.

Starring Yuen Biao, Guo Youhua, director Lin Zhengying, and even Cammo Hung as a guest star, the popularity and salary have increased several times.

Even Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun were invited by Golden Harvest to write scripts, and even Zhong Fa, who played the villain, was invited to several movies at the same time. It can be said that they all changed their lives because of this movie.

But only Lin Daoqiu, who is the producer, doesn't get any attention, as if this drama has nothing to do with him.

Among so many people, only Huang Xizhao's insightful eyes noticed something was wrong.

No one knows more about Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun's abilities than Huang Xizhao, because Huang Xizhao has carefully read the scripts written by them.

And after "Master Qian" was a big hit at the box office, Huang Xizhao asked someone to come over and study all the scripts they had written before.

But Huang Xizhao couldn't figure it out no matter how he looked at it. The style of this play "Master Qian" is quite different from the script they wrote before.

Except for the funny gags in the movie, which can be traced in their previous scripts, there is no similarity in other places, as if it was written by a different person.

Huang Xizhao couldn't figure it out, so he had to call Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to his office to find out.

If it were someone else, the screenwriters under him would have written a movie with a box office of over [-] million. I'm afraid they would have confessed to them a long time ago. How could they come here to ask questions, but Huang Xizhao did so.

In front of Huang Xizhao, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't last long before they showed their flaws. In the end, they had to honestly confess that Lin Daoqiu revised the script, and they also told Huang Xizhao some unknown things.

Just like discovering a treasure unknown to others, Huang Xizhao knew that Lin Daoqiu was going to move the next day, so he just went straight to the door.

"Boss Huang has taken a fancy to me. I'm just a kid who just came from the mainland. I'm afraid I can't help you." Although he doesn't know how much Huang Xizhao knows, Lin Daoqiu can see from the other party's eyes that he seems to be the other party's prey.

"Jiahe is incompetent, Shaw's eyes are blind, they didn't even notice a great talent like Mr. Lin, but I, Huang Xizhao, are different. I came to see Mr. Lin with sincerity today."

Lin Daoqiu thought that Huang Xizhao was going to offer a high price to attract him, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't do that.

"The income from TV is not as big as that of movies, but I am willing to spend 10 yuan for a movie to ask Mr. Lin to help me make three TV dramas. It is up to you to decide how to shoot the movies. Li's staff guarantee unconditional cooperation. "

If it was just money, Lin Daoqiu would not even think about it, even if a movie got 10 yuan, it would be the top price at this time.

What really moved Lin Daoqiu's heart was Huang Xizhao's last sentence, he can decide how to shoot, and he can get Li's unconditional cooperation, which makes it hard not to itch.
