Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 51 He's Not a Liar (Please recommend)

A good screenwriter in the TV circle may not be well-known in the film circle, and similarly, a screenwriter who is popular in the film circle may not necessarily get high ratings for the TV series he writes.

However, Xiao Ruoyuan is definitely an outlier. Not only can he get high ratings for TV dramas, but even the movies he writes can get high box office. That's why he has earned the title of a master screenwriter.

But at this time, Xiao Ruoyuan hadn't reached the achievements of his later generations, and now he only participated in the creation of three TV series in Li's.

Because of the good responses of "Big Man" and "Crocodile Tears" that he participated in, Xiao Ruoyuan was immediately appreciated by Huang Xizhao, and he was going to be in charge of the TV series producer next.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Lin, I have seen "Young Master Qian" in theaters three times since it was released, so I am already your loyal audience."

I'm afraid it's not just Xiao Ruoyuan, as long as they are ambitious screenwriters and directors, they should go to the theater to see what the first movie that broke the box office of tens of millions looks like.

"Thank you Mr. Xiao for being so supportive. In fact, I was also surprised that the movie could get such a high box office. I think it must have something to do with the double screening."

Lin Daoqiu behaved very modestly, but Xiao Ruoyuan didn't see it that way. If the two-line screening alone could break through tens of millions of box office, he would underestimate those audiences too much.

Based on the current average movie ticket price of 6 yuan, at least 130 million people went to the cinema to watch this movie. At this time, the population of Xiangjiang is close to 500 million, which means that one out of three people has watched "Master Qian" ".

Xiao Ruoyuan had carefully studied why "Master Qian" sold so well before, and finally he concluded the following reasons.

The first is the star effect, and Sammo Hung and the Hong Jiaban naturally bear the brunt, then the publicity is appropriate, and the last is that there is no strong film confrontation when it is released.

Of course, the most important thing is because this movie is good-looking, otherwise, these effects will not achieve good results if they are superimposed.

Therefore, combining these reasons, the success of "Master Qian" is not just luck as Lin Daoqiu said, at least Xiao Ruoyuan doesn't think so.

"Although I don't know what unpleasant things happened between Producer Mai and Mr. Lin, I can guarantee that my cooperation with Mr. Lin will be very pleasant."

Xiao Ruoyuan felt that as long as Lin Daoqiu spends half of the effort in running "Master Qian" to shoot this "Ip Man", the final ratings should be very promising.

Talking to smart people saved a lot of effort, at least Xiao Ruoyuan behaved very docile in front of Lin Daoqiu, unlike Mai Dangxiong who always wanted to intervene.

"Then thank you Mr. Xiao." Lin Daoqiu nodded with a smile. At least now, it seems that among Xiao Ruoyuan and Mai Dangxiong, he is still more willing to cooperate with Xiao Ruoyuan.

At this time, Miao Kexiu is rehearsing for tomorrow's recording. The "Flower World" hosted by her has received a good response. It was originally expected to broadcast only [-] episodes, but the director revealed to her that the TV station plans to add [-] more episodes.

Miao Kexiu, who has always been used to filming dramas, rarely has the opportunity to host a TV show. She finds it very novel, so she is also very happy to do it.

When the rehearsal was over, Miao Kexiu was about to leave the studio, but she didn't take a few steps when she suddenly saw the young man in the morning appearing in the studio and looking at her with a smile on her face.

When Miao Kexiu saw the other party, her originally good mood suddenly became a little unhappy. She felt that the other party was harassing her by chasing her to the studio.

Just when Miao Kexiu was about to find someone to drive Lin Daoqiu out, she suddenly found that Lin Daoqiu was walking towards her, and beside him was Xiao Ruoyuan, a TV screenwriter.

Miao Kexiu, who was about to call out with her mouth open, suddenly seemed to feel something. After thinking about it, she decided to listen to what Lin Daoqiu was going to do first.

After all, there are still many staff members in the studio at this time. If Lin Daoqiu dares to make a move, he will immediately attract the attention of a large group of people as long as he shouts, unless he is not afraid of losing face in public.

"Ms. Miao, hello." Lin Daoqiu walked up to Miao Kexiu and greeted her with a smile.

But Miao Kexiu looked at Lin Daoqiu with vigilance and remained silent. She seemed to not want to see Lin Daoqiu, an uninvited guest.

Xiao Ruoyuan at the side felt very strange, did any unpleasant things happen between Lin Daoqiu and Miao Kexiu?Otherwise, shouldn't it be like this when they meet?
"I know that Ms. Miao misunderstood me, so I specially invited Mr. Xiao to prove that I am not a liar.

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he looked at Miao Kexiu solemnly and said, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Daoqiu. The first play I produced is called "Master Qian". Ms. Miao may have heard of it."

If Lin Daoqiu said this to Miao Kexiu alone, I am afraid that the other party would not even pay attention to him, and would even think that he was talking big.

But now that Xiao Ruoyuan is here to testify for him, the authenticity of his words has been greatly increased.

Miao Kexiu, who was still wary at first, heard that Lin Daoqiu was actually the producer of "Master Qian", which reminded her suddenly that when she was watching that play, the name of the producer seemed to be really Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin was invited by Mr. Huang to produce three TV series for Li, and he plans to ask Ms. Miao to play the leading role in his first play." Knowing what he should say, Xiao Ruoyuan immediately added for Lin Daoqiu.

Now Miao Kexiu no longer had any doubts, because the doubts on her face had been replaced by surprise, and she looked at Lin Daoqiu without blinking her big watery eyes, as if she couldn't finish receiving the information all at once.

Miao Kexiu couldn't imagine that Xiangjiang's first movie with a box office of tens of millions was produced by such a young man. She felt that no one would believe it.

"Miss Miao should believe that I'm not a liar by now." In fact, one can tell from Miao Kexiu's expression that she has completely believed in her identity.

"No... I'm sorry, Supervisor Lin, I thought... I thought you..." Miao Kexiu's voice became softer as she spoke.

Lin Daoqiu helped her finish the sentence with a smile: "Miss Miao must think I'm a liar, or a playboy who came to pursue you."

Miao Kexiu lowered her head and said nothing, but it seemed that she had acquiesced that what Lin Daoqiu said was her thoughts at the time.

Xiao Ruoyuan on the side finally figured out the matter. It turned out that Miao Kexiu mistook Lin Daoqiu for a liar, so she was on guard like before.

But even if it was him, I am afraid that Miao Kexiu would have different ideas. If you want to blame, you can only blame Lin Daoqiu for being too young.

Lin Daoqiu didn't care about this, he looked at Miao Kexiu and smiled and said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, I wonder if Ms. Miao would like to take over the heroine of my play."

For Miao Kexiu, acting is her job. Basically, she will take on any normal role, let alone a film made by a producer like Lin Daoqiu with a box office halo of tens of millions.

"Of course there is no problem. I am too happy to be appreciated by the top producer with a box office of tens of millions. How could I refuse?"

Miao Kexiu nodded and agreed without thinking too much. After all, to be the heroine of the first movie produced by the director of the tens of millions box office is not a good thing that ordinary people can encounter. She feels that she has no reason to refuse.

"Miss Miao, you're welcome. I'm not as good as you say, and this is the first TV series I've filmed. Maybe the ratings will hit the street, so you'd better think about it carefully and give me an answer within three days. That's it."

"Don't think about it, I can promise you now."

Miao Kexiu suddenly smiled slyly and said: "If the TV drama hits the market by then, just give me the heroine of the movie."
