Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 693 Langmeyer's Call
Originally, at the beginning, the media focused on Lin Biqi's acting skills.

At only 16 years old, she has only acted for the first time, and she has already performed so well, she is almost like a natural heroine.

As the media dug deeper, they discovered more things about Lin Biqi.

When director Li Dawei found her on the street, she was still a 16-year-old girl who had dropped out of school and lived on the street.

Regarding the invitation sent by Li Dawei, she said that she would not act unless she was a heroine.

Although it sounds crazy, Lin Biqi proved with facts that choosing her as the heroine in "Pretty Girl" was the most correct decision.

Later, whoever found out, the news that Lin Biqi was pregnant out of wedlock immediately became the front page news in the entertainment section.

Audiences who have watched "Pretty Girl" all fell in love with this heroine, who fully interprets the heroine's stubborn, arrogant, self-abandoned, desolate and helpless mentality in the movie.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Lin Daoqiu knew that Lin Biqi would never return to the entertainment industry.

When Qiu Litao was filming "The True Story of a Pretty Girl" in his previous life, he tried to invite Lin Biqi, but she refused.

In fact, if Lin Daoqiu really wanted to, he could do everything possible to sign Lin Biqi to New Oriental.

After all, in this world, even people with character have weaknesses, and Lin Daoqiu has enough resources to make her nod her head.

But Lin Daoqiu doesn't like to do that kind of forced things.

If Lin Biqi had been discovered earlier, Lin Daoqiu would definitely try his best to avoid such a situation from happening at this time, but it is too late to say these things now.

Lin Biqi's matter slowly faded away after being hyped up for a while. After all, the heroine didn't show up, so the news went on and on like that.

…………

"Godzilla" has been in production for more than a year, but it's just the beginning.

Because this movie can be said to be a huge project, and if it is planned to be filmed in just one or two years, the effect will definitely not be much better.

So Lin Daoqiu will naturally not rush to release this movie, although so far, "Godzilla" has spent more than 2000 million US dollars.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't feel distressed at all, he didn't even urge Dexerla and Yuangu Gao to speed up their pace.

Dexerla is very happy about this, as long as Lin Daoqiu keeps investing money to let him study special effects technology, he won't bother to care about other things.

But for Gao Yuangu, who assisted in the special photography, he has been feeling that the speed of spending money is really amazing.

Having been by his father's side for many years, he has made quite a few "Godzilla" movies, but this is the first time he has seen such an expensive movie.

Tens of millions of dollars have been spent, and the film has barely completed [-]% of the progress.

He thought for a while, if the filming continues on the scale of spending money like this, is it possible that the final film will cost [-] million U.S. dollars to finish filming?
Fortunately, he is not the director of this movie, otherwise Yuan Gugao might not be able to sleep at night.

On this day, Lin Daoqiu took the time to come to Magic Studio to check the progress of "Godzilla".

As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Daoqiu saw Dexerla and Yuan Gugao coming up to him.

"We walked and talked."

After a few polite words, Dexerla and Yuan Gugao brought Lin Daoqiu to the studio where "Godzilla" was filmed.

As soon as he entered the studio, Lin Daoqiu saw several huge Godzilla models, the smallest of which was taller than Lin Daoqiu.

Just these few models cost millions of dollars to make.

But since so much money has been spent, the effect is naturally very good, lifelike, as if standing in front of the real Godzilla.

"In December last year, the preliminary preparations were completed, and now we have entered the shooting stage. However, it is the first time we have come into contact with such a movie, so when we were shooting, the progress was very slow."

Dexerla introduced the filming progress of "Godzilla" to Lin Daoqiu while walking.

Although Yuan Gugao is an expert, but Lin Daoqiu has told him before that what he wants is not the kind of "Godzilla" that children watch, but a movie that can shock people.

Therefore, a large part of Yuan Gugao's previous experience can't be used anymore, and he is still groping while shooting.

"It's okay, I can afford to wait, it doesn't matter if the movie is filmed slowly, I only have one requirement, this movie must be the best of the best."

Since Lin Daoqiu invested so much money, he naturally wouldn't shoot "Godzilla" casually.

Since he wants to regard this movie as a benchmark for special effects movies, he will naturally not limit his vision to Xiangjiang, but intends to put it on the world.

Dexerla and Yuan Gugao nodded, they knew very well that Lin Daoqiu had high hopes for this "Godzilla".

After leaving the Magic Studio, Lin Daoqiu suddenly received a call from Langmeyer.

"Dear Lin, do you have any plans for this year's Christmas schedule?"

It was already May at this time, if Lin Daoqiu had any plans, he would have communicated with Langmeyer long ago.

Since he hasn't given any news to the other party yet, it means that Lin Daoqiu probably won't do anything during Christmas this year.

"You should leave the Christmas schedule this year to others. I have no new films to release in Hollywood this year."

After filming "The Mummy", Lin Daoqiu turned his attention back to Xiangjiang.

There are a lot of things to deal with at hand, let him go to Hollywood to make a movie now, he can't think of anything to shoot for a while.

If you don't use special effects, you have to rely on the plot to win.

"I know you are very busy. In fact, I made this call today because I want to discuss something with you."

Lin Daoqiu didn't speak, just hummed, and wanted to hear what Langmeyer wanted from him when he made this call.

"I don't have any outstanding movies this year, but I don't want to give up the Christmas schedule, so I hope to make a sequel to "Home Alone."

Lin Daoqiu still holds the copyright of "Home Alone" and has not sold it. This movie has brought him a lot of income in the first place.

Moreover, the movie "Home Alone" was operated by Universal.

Langmeyer naturally hopes that Lin Daoqiu will be able to film the sequel of "Home Alone" this year, and then make a good fortune during the Christmas schedule.

"A sequel to Home Alone?"

After Lin Daoqiu was stunned for a moment, he told Lang Mayer that he needed to think about it, and then hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Lin Daoqiu began to think seriously.

If Lang Mayer hadn't called to say it, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't remember this matter.

　Thank you, perfect, everyone's big monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
