Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 735
Handed over the script of "Mr. Zombie's Ghost Bride" to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa came to see Lin Daoqiu today because of the new drama they prepared.

Lin Daoqiu has never seen this drama, but reading this script makes people feel a creepy feeling.

With the addition of the zombie and the ghost bride, Lin Daoqiu seems to have seen Lin Zhengying's filming in later generations, and the female ghost seems to be Wang Xiaofeng, who is also known as the king of ghosts.

However, Wang Xiaofeng's current location is still unknown, and Wang Xiaofeng's name does not appear in Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie's Ghost Bride".

But in the actor column, Lin Daoqiu, who plays the female ghost, is very familiar, because Lin Zhengying actually asked Zhong Chuhong to be the female ghost in this play.

"The role of this female ghost, why did you think of asking Ah Hong to play it?"

In Lin Daoqiu's impression, most of the female ghosts in these movies will fall in love with the male protagonists in them, and there will be some passionate scenes.

If that's the case, then he would not let Zhong Chuhong play this role, after all, she is his woman, how can she be touched and kissed by others.

"The heroine of this drama is this female ghost, and this drama is a sequel to "Mr. Zombie", so we want to continue the good momentum before and try to cast the original cast."

Zhong Fa told Lin Daoqiu all their thoughts.

When "Mr. Zombie" was a big hit, Lin Zhengying didn't rush out the first one right away, but settled down and worked on it for a while before writing the script of "Mr. Zombie: The Ghost Bride".

"The role of this female ghost should be played by someone else."

When Lin Daoqiu was looking through the script, he found that the female ghost in this play was actually going to seduce men, and there were some sexy scenes. How could he agree to let Zhong Chuhong act.

"what……"

Originally, both Zhong Fa and Lin Zhengying decided that Zhong Chuhong would play this role, but what they didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu rejected it immediately.

Although Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa didn't know why Lin Daoqiu asked them to change, they didn't dare to disobey Lin Daoqiu's decision.

"You plan to have a budget of 700 million for this movie?"

Although right now, more than one movie with a production cost of tens of millions has already been released.

But at this time, prices are not rising so fast, and 700 million yuan to make a movie is a very extravagant thing.

"Mr. Lin, we have put a lot of thought into this film, and we plan to bring the crew to the China Film Cultural City in Baodao to shoot."

On the Xiangjiang side, there are not many antique buildings. If you want to take good pictures, you have to go to Baodao.

"Mr. Zombie" is a big hit. It's a good thing that you guys are aggressive. I believe this movie will be a big hit too."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think much about it, and approved the budget for "Mr. Zombie's Ghost Bride" with a flick of a pen.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if this drama hits the street, because Lin Zhengying's previous "Mr. Zombie" has already made a lot of money for New Oriental.

And not to mention Lin Zhengying's zombie film, which can be said to be the most guaranteed box office, at least for five years, you don't have to worry too much.

After seeing Lin Daoqiu signed, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa were relieved.

Because 700 million yuan is indeed a bit extravagant to make a movie, and they didn't use any special effects in this movie, let alone an action blockbuster.

Originally, Lin Zhengying was worried that 700 million would be too much, but now it seems that his previous worries were all nonsense.

After sending Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa away, Lin Daoqiu suddenly received a call from Hu Jinquan. It turned out that the other party had already arrived at Xiangjiang Airport.

"Director Hu, please wait a moment. I'll send someone to pick you up right away. I'll serve you wine to cleanse the dust at night."

Hu Jinquan flew directly to Xiangjiang without even saying hello. Lin Daoqiu didn't think much about it, but just told the other party to invite him to dinner tonight.

But just when Lin Daoqiu was about to hang up the phone, Hu Jinquan on the other end of the phone suddenly talked to him about something.

"Mr. Lin, there is a Mr. Liao Xiangxiong who came to Xiangjiang with me. He wants to meet with you. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Liao Xiangxiong also went to Xiangjiang with Hu Jinquan. The purpose of his trip was actually very simple, just to meet with Lin Daoqiu and discuss the matter of inviting him to Baodao.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know Liao Xiangxiong, but when he heard Hu Jinquan say that the other party was from Baodao, Lin Daoqiu immediately became vigilant.

"Is Mr. Liao an official of Baodao?"

Lin Daoqiu had to figure out who Liao Xiangxiong was. If he was just an ordinary filmmaker, then there would be no big problem.

But if he is an official from Treasure Island, then Lin Daoqiu may have to seriously think about whether he should meet with him or not.

"Director Liao is the director of the Film Division of the Baodao News Bureau. He said he wanted to talk to you about something."

If it wasn't because Liao Xiangxiong took good care of him, Hu Jinquan would not be reluctant and agreed to help him meet Lin Daoqiu.

"That's right, that's fine, Director Hu will bring him here tonight, let's have a drink together."

Lin Daoqiu still had to give Hu Jinquan face. As for why Director Liao came here, Lin Daoqiu planned to find out at the banquet.

After Hu Jinquan hung up the phone, Liao Xiangxiong looked at him nervously and asked.

"I don't know how Mr. Lin answered?"

If Lin Daoqiu did not agree to see him, then Liao Xiangxiong's trip to Xiangjiang might come to an end soon.

"Director Liao, don't worry, Mr. Lin has agreed to meet with you. He said he will be the host tonight, and we will have a drink together then."

Although Hu Jinquan didn't know why Liao Xiangxiong was so anxious to see Lin Daoqiu, he knew very well that these should not be the things he needed to care about.

After all, Liao Xiangxiong is also an official of Treasure Island. In Treasure Island, once the official affairs are involved, it is all a big deal.

"I'm really bothering Director Hu. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my trip to Xiangjiang would take a lot of trouble."

Liao Xiangxiong was really grateful to Hu Jinquan from the bottom of his heart, because what happened to Lin Daoqiu in Baodao before, probably made him have a lot of resentment towards the officials in Baodao.

Although he is a director, I am afraid that in the eyes of Lin Daoqiu, the other party does not take him as a director at all.

Before leaving, Liao Xiangxiong was called by Song Yaolian to his office for a face-to-face instruction.

The other party told him that when he came to see Lin Daoqiu this time, he must find a way to invite Lin Daoqiu to Baodao.

If possible, Song Yaolian even hoped that Liao Xiangxiong could resolve part of Lin Daoqiu's resentment towards Baodao.

If he can do these things well, Song Yaolian said that he would ask for credit from the higher-ups on his behalf, which made Liao Xiangxiong very happy.
