Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 691
Sitting behind the desk, Lin Daoqiu looked at Mai Dangxiong and others in front of him.

"Pretty Girl" has been completed and is in the post-production stage. It will be completed in a few days.

Today, Mai Dangxiong came to invite Lin Daoqiu to show his face and watch the movie "Pretty Girl".

Worried that his face is not big enough, so this time Mai Dangxiong also brought Wen Jun on, after all he is the screenwriter of this drama.

Lin Daoqiu had never watched this drama in his last life, but he knew that the box office of this drama was very good, and there were many topics that would be talked about by later generations.

For example, the heroine Lin Biqi, who was under 18 years old, won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Award for her first film appearance, and stopped acting after only one film.

Although he was a little curious about Lin Biqi, Lin Daoqiu felt that since the other party chose to do this, there was no need to bother her.

There is also this "Pretty Girl", which is the first work of the later sexy goddess Wen Bixia.

Lin Daoqiu really admires Mai Dangxiong. I don't know how he found these two girls to help him film this movie.

"Let's go, the screening room is ready."

In fact, even if Mai Dangxiong didn't pull Wen Jun, he would come to ask Lin Daoqiu personally, Lin Daoqiu would definitely give him this face.

The reason why Mai Dangxiong is so eager to let Lin Daoqiu have a glimpse is because this drama is very important to him.

After all, this is his first work in the film industry after he resigned from ATV.

If it can have a good box office, it is tantamount to a good start.

Of course, what Mai Dangxiong hopes more is to let Lin Daoqiu read it first before it is released to see if there is anything wrong, so that they can revise it in time.

Otherwise, if the schedule is fixed, even if you want to modify it, you may not have time.

After a group of people entered the screening room, Mai Dangxiong and Wen Jun sat on both sides of Lin Daoqiu.

"Brother Qiu, most of the actors in this film are newcomers. Among them, Lin Biqi and Wen Bixia are newcomers who are acting in a movie for the first time. Although it is the first time to act in a movie, they performed very well in the movie."

It's not that Wen Jun is boasting in front of Lin Daoqiu because he is the screenwriter of this drama.

Lin Biqi and Wen Bixia worked very hard for this drama. After several months of hard work, the final effect of this drama is very good, at least that's what Mai Dangxiong thinks.

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening, when the subtitles of "Pretty Girl" appeared on the screen.

Unlike the comedies and martial arts flicks of the day, this one is about a troubled teenage girl from a broken home.

Lin Daoqiu really admired Mac Dangxiong, who dared to choose such a realistic theme as his opening work.

If it was Lin Daoqiu, if he wasn't a time traveler, he wouldn't have such courage.

The story of "Pretty Girl" is rather dark. Simply put, it is a tragedy from beginning to end.

The heroine Lin Biqi originally had a happy family since she was a child, but because her parents divorced and lived with her mother, she gradually became a problem girl.

He doesn't study at school, idles around all day, and doesn't have any thoughts about the future at all.

One day, Lin Biqi met a boy named Peter in a ballroom. Lin Biqi fell in love with him deeply, but unfortunately, the other party just wanted to be a novelty for a while, and soon abandoned Lin Biqi to find a new woman.

Lin Biqi, who hadn't been home for a long time, met her mother on the street one day, and learned that her grandfather who loved her the most had also passed away.

After that she became a dancer, thinking that one day Peter could come back to her.

A best friend becomes addicted to drugs and gets thrown off a tram.

In the end, her beloved boyfriend came back, and she thought with joy that she could start over, but she could only witness him being hacked to death.

All in all, this drama is very uncomfortable to watch, at least Lin Daoqiu thinks so.

But I have to say that Lin Daoqiu was really shocked by the acting skills of the heroine Lin Biqi.

She is only acting in a movie for the first time, and she can have such an outstanding performance.

In addition, Lin Biqi looks a bit like the famous Japanese star Momoe Yamaguchi, so it can be said that she already has all the conditions for becoming famous.

At the beginning, Lin Daoqiu just thought about respecting her life, but after watching "Pretty Girl", Lin Daoqiu suddenly changed his previous thinking.

"You are right. Lin Biqi's performance is indeed outstanding."

After watching the film, Lin Daoqiu turned his head and said to Mai Dangxiong: "I think this drama is quite good. There are no strong films recently. I will ask Maowen to arrange more films for this drama."

I don't remember how much "Pretty Girl" sold, but Lin Daoqiu remembered that the box office of this movie was very good, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Mai Dangxiong came to Lin Daoqiu today because of his words.

So when he heard what Lin Daoqiu said, Mai Dangxiong immediately showed a happy smile on his face.

"Thank you Mr. Lin."

Mai Dangxiong took Li Dawei away contentedly. Originally, Wen Jun wanted to go with them, but Lin Daoqiu's eyes left him behind.

Having been by Lin Daoqiu's side for so long, Wen Jun knew what Lin Daoqiu meant as long as he gave him a look.

After returning to the office with Wen Jun, Lin Daoqiu spoke directly as soon as he sat down.

"Bring Lin Biqi to me, I want to talk to her."

Wen Jun, who just sat down, did not expect Lin Daoqiu to explain this matter when he left him.

Could it be that Lin Daoqiu fell in love with Lin Biqi?But the other party is only 17 years old now.

I have to say that Lin Biqi is not very beautiful, but she has an outstanding temperament, which is hard to forget after one glance.

Although he knew what Lin Daoqiu was thinking, Wen Jun followed his instructions and called Lin Biqi to come over.

But what he didn't expect was that Wen Jun was shocked by the news from the other end of the phone.

Lin Biqi disappeared, and no one knew where she went.

Because "Pretty Girl" hadn't been released yet, Lin Biqi's affairs didn't get the media's attention.

Unlike later generations, she actually disappeared suddenly after she won the Academy Award and was in the midst of a bright future.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu was thinking about having a good chat with Lin Biqi, signing her to New Oriental, and making her a big star.

But it is a pity that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Lin Biqi just disappeared, and her family was so anxious that they called the police to find someone.

After half a month, Lin Biqi received news that she was pregnant with her boyfriend's child and had gone to the mainland to raise her baby.

Lin Daoqiu, who heard the news, couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile.

I didn't expect that I would be one step slower in the end, which is really regrettable.
