Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 455 Withered
"What's going on? Did Mr. Lin promise to give us an additional budget?"

When Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui returned to the company, Wang Jing hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the result of this matter.

But when he saw clearly the sad expressions on the faces of Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui at this time, Wang Jing guessed that this matter might not go well.

"Since Mr. Lin is unwilling, let it be, or I'm thinking of a way."

Although Wang Jing said so, there is nothing he can do unless he is willing to pay for it himself, but this is obviously impossible.

The share of the drama "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" has already been obtained, but the sale has not yet started, so now Wang Jing has only received a share of more than 100 million.

If he was asked to take out the money and invest it in "Flower Heart", he would definitely not agree.

And even if Wang Jing was really crazy and invested the 100 million in it, the money would not have much effect on "Fantasy Boy".

"Brother Qiu has no objection, but, hey..."

Zheng Danrui sighed without finishing his sentence, looking at Wang Jing inexplicably, he didn't understand what happened to these two guys.

Since Lin Daoqiu didn't object, wouldn't that be a good thing for them, or is it because Lin Daoqiu didn't have much additional budget?
"Can you still talk properly? One is frowning, the other is sighing. Those who don't know think something happened to your family."

Wang Jing was so angry that he was about to start swearing. He just wanted to know what happened when Wen Jun and the others went to Lin Daoqiu.

Hearing that Wang Jing could hardly bear cursing, Wen Jun slowly turned his head towards him.

"Brother Qiu said that it's okay to increase the budget, but if it's the script of "Flower Heart", it's unnecessary, unless we can come up with a script that satisfies him."

Wen Jun's words are reasonable and reasonable, Wang Jing also felt that this was in line with Lin Daoqiu's style after listening to it.

But the problem now is that the cast of "Flower Heart" has already been finalized, and preparations have already begun in the early stage. If the script is to be changed at this time, wouldn't everything have to be done from scratch.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu was optimistic about letting him shoot this movie at the beginning, and Lin Daoqiu also appointed Zhong Chuhong as the heroine. Will Lin Daoqiu agree to the sudden change at this time?

"Then you agreed to come down?"

Wang Jing asked tentatively, if Wen Jun agreed, then they would have to start thinking about the script again now.

But Wen Jun shook his head, instead he looked at Wang Jing with a very sympathetic expression.

"Brother Qiu said it's fine if we want to change the script, but if the revised script doesn't satisfy him, then we're afraid we'll have to keep revising like this."

After listening to Wen Jun's words, Wang Jing realized why he was looking at him with that expression just now.

Thinking of going through the previous pain again, Wang Jing quickly shook his head, saying that he didn't want to do it again, because that would be no different from directly torturing him.

"Forget it, don't increase the budget, just shoot according to the previous script."

Wang Jing is more afraid of being tortured than trying to win New Art City, so he would rather finish filming "Flower Heart" honestly than write a script that can satisfy Lin Daoqiu.

"How is this possible? Don't you want to win New Art City? Don't worry, this time the three of us will work together to write a script. I don't believe that the three of us will be worse than those guys in New Art City."

Wen Jun was very dissatisfied with Wang Jing's retreat. At this time, he didn't know where to fight, and wanted to challenge this difficult task.

Although Wen Jun looked full of fighting spirit, but now Wang Jing's whole person suddenly became listless.

"Let's talk about the New Art City in the future. You haven't experienced that kind of suffering. Do you think it's so easy to write a script that satisfies Mr. Lin? You may not be able to pass it in three to five months."

The more Wang Jing thought about it, the more frightening he felt. He had even made a plan in his heart, even if he lost to New Art City this time, it didn't matter, anyway, he would never challenge this difficulty of hell.

If the three of them work together, maybe they can really write a good script by then.

Even if it is not as good as "Best Partner", as long as it is better than "Flower Heart", it is a good thing.

But the problem now is that Wang Jing has already retreated, and the drum is so strong that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui can't even pull it back.

"If that's the case, then the three of us pool together 200 million yuan to supplement the budget and see what we can achieve."

In the end, Wen Jun really had no other choice, so he simply proposed to add 200 million yuan to the budget to make up the budget of this drama to 300 million yuan, to see if he could compete with New Art City and the others.

If it was 10 minutes ago, Wen Jun's proposal and Wang Jing wouldn't even think about it, and would definitely reject it outright.

But now he would rather invest hundreds of thousands in himself than suffer such a crime again, so he nodded the fastest.

"I will pay 60 yuan, and you will settle the rest."

Calculated, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui each had to pay 70 yuan, but this amount of money was not too much for them, so they agreed without thinking too much.

"Since an additional 200 million yuan has been added, you can go to Mr. Lin tomorrow and ask him to increase our share, otherwise our money will be in vain."

Wang Jing did not forget to remind Wen Jun that if the money is invested and their share does not increase, then even if "Flower Heart" broke the box office of tens of millions in the end, based on the current share, they will eventually Can't make much money either.

…………

"Have you considered it?"

The next day, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui came to see Lin Daoqiu again. Compared with before, the two of them have returned to normal today, and their faces are no longer as aggressive as yesterday. It seems that they have calmed down. .

"We have already discussed it, and we all feel that the current script is actually quite good, and it has already been approved by Brother Qiu, so we plan to continue shooting according to this script."

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect Wen Jun and the others to wither away after only one day.

Originally, he expected these guys to accept this challenge, but it seemed that he had a little too high a view on them.

"If that's the case, then you all go back honestly and make this movie well."

Since they had no idea, Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't force them to revise the script. After all, he didn't like to do things that were difficult for others, and it wasn't necessary.

"Brother Qiu, actually there is something I want to discuss with you today. We plan to pay an additional 200 million yuan for "Flower Heart" out of our own pockets, so we want to increase the share of this movie."

"You want to add 200 million to it yourself?"

It wasn't a big problem for Lin Daoqiu to increase the share, but he didn't expect that Wen Jun and the others would rather pay their own money to fight against New Art City, which made him really don't know what to say.
