Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 648 Two Heroines

Chapter 540

Although this "Best Partner" feels a bit ill-fated.

Fortunately, with the efforts of Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others, the filming was successfully completed in the end.

After the titles of New Oriental and New Art City, "Best Partner" officially started.

Accompanied by music similar to 007, King Kong played by Xu Guanjie sneaked into the opposite rooftop and stole the diamonds that the mafia was trading.

After that, King Kong was chased all the way from the shopping mall to the outdoors by the opponent, and finally he escaped successfully with the help of the aircraft.

It can be said that compared to other action movies, the action scenes at the beginning of "Best Partner" are not exciting, and the chases in shopping malls and outdoors are only on point.

The highlight is undoubtedly the aircraft that Xu Guanjie drove to escape.

At that time, in order to take this shot well, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming thought of many ways, and even rented a helicopter to shoot.

After all, there is no such thing as a drone at this time, so if you want to take aerial photos, you must use a helicopter.

It can be said that the ideas of Mai Jia and others are already ahead of Xiangjiang Films.

When others only know about speed chasing, they have already played with flying machines.

It's a pity that the plot of this drama has undergone some changes in the later stage because Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark and others have left one after another.

But the good news is that this drama did not lose its previous level because of this.

King Kong, the bald detective, and the tomboy, these three core roles have kept the show at a high level.

The occasional laughter at the scene made Lin Daoqiu realize that there was nothing wrong with this drama.

The final decisive battle is between King Kong, the bald detective, White Gloves and others.

The explosion of the remote control car left the audience dumbfounded. They didn't expect to be able to play like this.

When "Best Partner" ended, "Best Partner" sung by Xu Guanjie sounded again at the end of the film.

Following the thunderous applause at the scene, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others immediately stood up and bowed to the audience around them.

…………

"It seems that the audience's response is very good, and this drama should have a good box office."

After the show ended, Lin Daoqiu met with Mai Jia and they had a brief chat.

Although he had heard the warm applause from the audience just now, Mai Jia still did not dare to get too carried away.

After all, the production cost of this movie has already exceeded tens of millions. If you can't get the box office of 3000 million, then you have to rely on selling port to get back the cost.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. In fact, we have done our best, but whether the audience will support us in the end depends on the follow-up development."

Compared to Maijia's worries, Lin Daoqiu was quite open-minded.

After all, in the previous life, "Best Partner" turned out to earn 2300 million at the box office, and it was only released in a theater of the Golden Princess.

But in this life, it was screened in New Oriental. At this time, Lin Daoqiu had several more theaters than the Golden Princess in the previous life, not to mention that this movie was still released during the Spring Festival.

Lin Daoqiu estimates that it will be no problem for this drama to break through 3000 million in the end, but he doesn't know if it can break through the 4000 million mark.

"Don't worry, this drama is definitely fine. I've already asked people to continue to promote this drama. During the Spring Festival period, there should be a red plate."

Lin Daoqiu's words reassured Mai Jia and the others.

After chatting with Mai Jia and the others, Lin Daoqiu turned around and walked towards Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin.

Because they came together, Lin Daoqiu had to send them back in charge.

"Mr. Lin..."

Just when Lin Daoqiu was about to go back, Chu Yuan and Wang Jing had already walked towards him.

Today is not only the premiere of "Best Partner", but also the premiere of "King of Thieves".

It's just that the production cost of "King of Thieves" is not enough, less than 100 million, so Wang Jing and Chu Yuan didn't hold any premiere.

However, because New Oriental has not released other strong films other than "Best Partner" during this period, so Chu Yuan's "The King of Thieves" can be said to have picked a good time.

"What's the matter with the two of you?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wang Jing and Chu Yuan who had already walked in front of him, and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing. The filming of "The King of Thieves" has already been finished. It is said that the attendance rate is not bad. I still have two scripts in my hand. Director Chu wants to film these two films as well."

Wang Jing dragged Chu Yuan and two people to find Lin Daoqiu, in fact, to find a job for Chu Yuan.

After filming "The King of Thieves", Chu Yuan couldn't be idle, after all, he is not a person who can be idle.

It just so happened that Wang Jing still had two scripts in his hand, so he simply proposed to go to Lin Daoqiu to see if he could make these two scripts.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, doesn't Director Chu need to take a break? After all, "King of Thieves" just finished filming?"

Lin Daoqiu wanted to give Chu Yuan a holiday and let him have a rest.

But Chu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"After working for so many years, I used to spend New Years and holidays on the set. I'm used to it. If I'm free, I'm really not used to it."

But after Lin Daoqiu listened to the other party's words, he didn't answer whether it was okay or not, he just nodded.

"Well, let's talk about the start of the play in my office tomorrow."

Lin Daoqiu can probably guess that the production costs of the two films that Wang Jing will shoot will definitely not be too high, and may even be the same as "The King of Thieves".

But since it is the beginning of the play, Lin Daoqiu would like to arrange a few roles for this play if the script is acceptable.

After all, in addition to Shaw Brothers actors, New Oriental has many other actors who also want to act, so they can't be left idle all the time.

"Okay, we'll go to Lin Daoqiu's office tomorrow morning to talk."

Wang Jing glanced at Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin, knowing that Lin Daoqiu might not be in the mood to talk to them at all right now, so after finishing speaking quickly, she turned around and left with Chu Yuan.

"Mr. Lin is really blessed."

After Wang Jing and Chu Yuan walked a certain distance, Wang Jing said something in an envious tone.

Chu Yuan glanced at Lin Daoqiu, then shook his head with a smile.

"In this case, you'd better not mention it in front of Mr. Lin in the future."

Although Chu Yuan didn't have a deep relationship with Lin Daoqiu, he could more or less guess that Lin Daoqiu probably didn't like others to gossip about him.

Wang Jing is not a fool, even if Chu Yuan didn't say anything, he would not be so stupid as to gossip about Lin Daoqiu in front of others.

"Master, haven't you been worrying about which heroine you are looking for in these two plays?"

Wang Jing suddenly brought the topic to the heroines of these two plays.

At the beginning, Chu Yuan didn't understand why Wang Jing suddenly said that.

But when he saw Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin beside Lin Daoqiu, Chu Yuan immediately understood the meaning of Wang Jing's words.

Then he nodded with a smile, it seemed that he also agreed with Wang Jing's proposal.
