Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 578 "The King of Thieves"

“This apartment is quiet in the midst of hustle and bustle. Standing on the balcony, you can overlook Victoria Harbour, and most of the residents here are elites in the society. There is a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Whether you live in it or invest, it is very attractive. .”

The real estate agent was nearby, trying to sell this high-rise apartment to Guan Zhilin.

The price of this 80-square-meter house with two bedrooms and one living room has already reached [-] yuan.

For the general working class, this kind of house is out of reach.

Even Guan Zhilin herself, a few days ago, never thought that she would live in such a good place.

At this time, she was like a child entering a playground, looking around, with a joyful expression on her face.

Lin Daoqiu stood aside, looking at Victoria Harbor in the distance with his hands in his pockets.

Although this house is not big, Guan Zhilin only lives alone, so it is definitely enough.

Although Lin Daoqiu is very clear, if he comes to see it in a few months, he believes that the price of this house can be reduced a lot by then.

But in order to make Guan Zhilin happy, it is not a problem for Lin Daoqiu to spend more money.

"what do you think?"

Although Lin Daoqiu asked like this, it can be seen from the expression on Guan Zhilin's face that she should be very satisfied with this house.

"This house is pretty good, I like it very much, but the price seems a bit expensive..."

The price of 80 is simply an astronomical sum for her.

If Guan Zhilin herself had 80 yuan, she would never spend so much money to buy this apartment.

"It's okay, as long as you're happy."

Lin Daoqiu put his arms around Guan Zhilin, and then said to the real estate agent: "I bought this apartment, Asheng, go through the formalities with him."

It only took Lin Daoqiu more than ten minutes from coming in to buying this apartment.

Originally, the real estate agent thought that Lin Daoqiu and the others were going to bargain, but he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.

"Congratulations, both of you, for buying such a nice house."

A deal was made so quickly that the real estate agent was already grinning from ear to ear.

After Fang Jinsheng left, only Lin Daoqiu and Guan Zhilin were left in the room.

"Starting today, I'm going to learn how to make soup, and I'll make soup for you every day from now on."

Guan Zhilin, who had never cooked before, suddenly came up with the idea of ​​making soup for Lin Daoqiu.

"You usually have to film, so you don't have time to make soup. I'll hire a servant to help you with the housework, so that you won't be alone at home and don't eat three meals on time. That's not good for your health."

Guan Zhilin is not usually a person who can cook, so Lin Daoqiu didn't expect her to learn how to cook seriously.

Anyway, as long as she is in charge of beauty, as for the housework, she just needs a servant to help her.

"Don't you want to drink my soup?"

Guan Zhilin pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

You must know that it was the first time she had the idea of ​​helping a man make soup, but she never thought that Lin Daoqiu would not appreciate it.

"I just don't want to tire you out."

Lin Daoqiu quickly shook his head.

Although she knew that Lin Daoqiu was doing it for her own good, Guan Zhilin was still not very happy.

"After choosing a house, how can there be no furniture? I heard that there is a place that sells high-end furniture imported from abroad. How about we go and have a look?"

He found that Guan Zhilin seemed a little unhappy, so Lin Daoqiu simply changed the topic to furniture.

Although the apartment itself is equipped with furniture, they are all cheap, not to mention Lin Daoqiu, even Guan Zhilin feels that they should all be replaced.

"Thank you Brother Qiu, you are so kind to me."

Guan Zhilin hugged the other party's neck, and then took a sip on Lin Daoqiu's cheek.

She was still a little unhappy at first, but when Lin Daoqiu said that he would take her to buy high-end furniture, Guan Zhilin seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness.

Sometimes the power of money can help him solve problems more effectively than those sweet words.

…………

Under Lin Daoqiu's one-week deadline, Wang Jing wrote the script on the seventh day.

This time he wrote a modern action drama.

""The King of Thieves"?"

Looking at the four big characters on the script, Lin Daoqiu did not expect that Wang Jing would give this play such a name.

Because when he saw this name, Lin Daoqiu immediately thought of that man.

But that person doesn't know which corner he is in yet, so Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to think too much.

At the beginning, Lin Daoqiu originally thought that what Wang Jing was going to write to Chu Yuan this time should be a costume movie.

After all, what Chu Yuan has filmed the most in recent years is that kind of movie with the theme of ancient martial arts, but he didn't expect Wang Jing to choose such a theme.

Lin Daoqiu didn't ask any questions, but silently opened the script of "The King of Thieves" and read it.

The descendants of Shi Qian, the hero of Liangshan, withdrew collectively ten years ago, and Shi Jialuo, the king of thieves, even served as a senior consultant for international security.

Unexpectedly, a series of huge robberies occurred in the city at this time. Private detective Guan Dexing wanted to become famous in one fell swoop by solving this major case.

Immediately, he began to follow Shi Jialuo, which turned out to be full of jokes. It turned out that all the robberies were related to the Japanese borrowed girl Hideko and the Japanese merchant Miyamoto.

Lin Daoqiu has never heard of this "King of Thieves" before, and the plot looks very ordinary. If you want to sell it, it may be difficult.

Coupled with the fact that there is only one theater chain left in my hands, the box office performance must be much lower than before.

"What's your budget for this movie?"

Lin Daoqiu wanted to know how much money Wang Jing wanted to make this movie.

From the perspective of the script alone, Lin Daoqiu is not willing to invest in this movie.

"This movie can be filmed for 80 yuan."

In fact, Wang Jing himself has no idea, but the good news is that, except for Xie Xian, the actors he wants to find this time are paid very low.

So 80 filmed this movie, there is absolutely no problem.

Lin Daoqiu thought about it, if the budget is 80, the show must sell at least 200 million to make money.

But if it only has a box office of 200 million, then don't expect the show to make any money when it's sold.

"Let Director Chu shoot with dim sum, and I'll give him [-]% of the box office revenue for this movie."

If the box office is 200 million by then, then Chu Yuan can get at least 10 yuan.

This is comparable to his salary at Shaw Brothers, I don't know how many times higher.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, please rest assured that this drama will never disappoint you."

Originally, Wang Jing thought that Lin Daoqiu was going to criticize him, and he was even ready to be beaten back and rework the script.

But I didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so easy to talk this time. Could it be because of his good script writing skills?
Thinking of this, Wang Jing couldn't help feeling a little complacent.
