Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 444 Miss Zhong is very suitable
"Director Wang...Director Wang?"

Because Wang Jing was too obsessed with thinking about the role, Fang Jinsheng called him twice before pulling Wang Jing back to reality.

"Well... ah, I'm sorry I just suddenly thought of something, so I was distracted."

Wang Jing was taken aback, he didn't notice it himself because he was so engrossed in thinking about things, he didn't even hear someone talking to him next to him.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Wang Jing was thinking, but he guessed it had something to do with this drama.

"Who are you going to find to play the leading role?"

Lin Daoqiu's question startled Wang Jing again, because he was thinking about this just now.

Now Wang Jing didn't know how to answer. He was worried that Lin Daoqiu would be unhappy if he said that Fu Sheng was going to be the leading actor, and he might even directly reject his suggestion.

But Wang Jing felt that Fu Sheng would be the most suitable male lead, and he also wanted to find Chen Baixiang, nicknamed Ah Le, to play the supporting role in it, but Chen Baixiang is a TVB artiste.

Wang Jing was worried that Lin Daoqiu would not want to use artists from Shaw Brothers and TVB because of ATV's relationship, so this made him very embarrassed.

"I... I... I haven't figured it out yet."

Wang Jing couldn't say the word Fu Sheng for a long time. After all, Lin Daoqiu put too much pressure on him, and he couldn't bear it with his current skills.

"Did you not think about it or do you have any scruples?"

Seeing Wang Jing's shit-holding expression, Lin Daoqiu could probably guess that he had someone he wanted to find, but he was just worried that he would be rejected after he finished speaking.

"I just watched the plot. As for the male lead, I think Fu Sheng should be a good choice."

Wang Jing didn't react at first, he just nodded while listening to Lin Daoqiu's speech, thinking that Lin Daoqiu could only decide the leading role.

But after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wang Jing's eyes widened immediately. He couldn't believe that Lin Daoqiu would want actors from Shaw Brothers to act in New Oriental's movie.

Although the three theaters have merged into the Xiangjiang Cinemas, Wang Jing feels that this is just a formality. Once their core interests are touched, they will still be the same as before.

"What's the matter? Seeing your surprised expression, isn't Fu Sheng suitable?"

Wang Jing quickly shook his head. He just wanted to find Fu Sheng to act in this play. He didn't know how to talk to Lin Daoqiu at first, but now this problem no longer exists.

"No, no, Fu Sheng is very suitable. It is very suitable for him to be the leading actor in this drama. As soon as Mr. Lin finished speaking, I immediately felt that your decision was very wise."

There is no problem even with Fu Sheng being the protagonist. Wang Jing felt that Lin Daoqiu would not have any objections to using Chen Baixiang as a supporting role. When he thought of this, his mood blossomed with joy.

"Mr. Lin, do you think Chen Baixiang can play the role of Lotanto? I think he is very suitable."

Although Fu Sheng's matter has been resolved, if Chen Baixiang can be invited to play this role, it will definitely not work without Lin Daoqiu's nod.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu naturally didn't have any opinions on this, and he also felt that it was appropriate for Chen Baixiang to play this supporting role.

Although Chen Baixiang often plays some smart and snobbish characters in the movies, but they are actually idiots to make fun of.

But in real life, Chen Baixiang is a very smart person, as can be seen from his nickname Ale.

"Okay, let's find Chen Baixiang."

With Fu Sheng and Chen Baixiang's affairs settled, there shouldn't be any major problems for Wang Jing in the future.

But I am afraid that what Wang Jing never expected is that the main reason why Lin Daoqiu asked him to make this "Flower Heart" is because Zhong Chuhong is the heroine of this film.

At this time, Wang Jing suddenly remembered that the heroine had not been decided yet, and he really hadn't thought of who to play the role of this sister before.

"Who do you plan to cast as the heroine?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished asking this question, Wang Jing immediately fell into deep thought, because all his attention was on the male actor before, so why did he think about the actress.

"I really haven't thought much about who the heroine is looking for."

If Wang Jing was given a day or two, he would definitely be able to come up with a few suitable candidates, but now he is suddenly asked to find a suitable actress, Wang Jing will really have no way to say it for a while.

"Since you don't have any good candidates, what do you think of Ah Hong?"

Although Lin Daoqiu seemed to ask Wang Jing what he meant, if Wang Jing dared to say no now, he could be said to be stupid.

Wang Jing is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, just because his energy was distracted by other things before, and he has no time to think about other things at all.

And when Lin Daoqiu finished asking, Wang Jing immediately looked at Lin Daoqiu with a very serious expression.

"I think Ms. Zhong is very suitable to play the heroine."

Lin Daoqiu actually didn't care how much Wang Jing's words were true. Anyway, Zhong Chuhong was supposed to play the heroine in this drama, and he just moved the matter forward two years.

"Since this is the case, then you should start preparing for this movie. The production cost of 100 million should be no problem, right?"

This drama is a pure urban comedy, there are no big scenes and nothing to spend money on, the budget of 80 is definitely enough.

Wang Jing estimated in his heart that he would have at least 50 yuan in production costs after the film salary was excluded.

Xie Xian's film salary increased from 20 to 20 after the explosion of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants". Fu Sheng has always been the leader of Shaw Brothers, so if he is to be hired, his film salary must be at least [-].

Zhong Chuhong's Wang Jing plans to give her a salary of 5 yuan. After all, she is just a newcomer. I believe Lin Daoqiu will not have too many opinions on this.

"No problem Mr. Lin, 100 million is enough."

The production fee of 100 million yuan needs to exceed 300 million yuan at the box office to return the cost. If it was before the release of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Fighters", maybe Wang Jing would still be a little worried, but now the situation is completely different.

In Wang Jing's opinion, the box office of this drama is sure to exceed 300 million just because of Fu Sheng and Xie Xian's double insurance, so he is not worried that this drama will lose money at all.

Not to mention that Lin Daoqiu is also optimistic about this script, which adds to Wang Jing's confidence.

You must know that so far, Wang Jing has never heard of Lin Daoqiu passing by. Since he was able to pick out "The Flower Heart" from the five scripts, it proves that this drama must have its uniqueness. Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu would not be able to impress him.
