Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 742
After sending Liao Xiangxiong away, Lin Daoqiu took out Li Zhengnan's letter from the drawer and opened it.

It didn't say anything, just praised Lin Daoqiu, and by the way hoped that he could visit Treasure Island in the near future.

As for the previous banning incident, Li Zhengnan didn't mention it in the letter, as if he didn't know such a thing happened at all.

It has to be said that these guys from Treasure Island still speak in the same way, it's almost as if they didn't say anything.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that Li Zhengnan and those guys would honestly apologize to him.

It’s okay to go to Baodao by yourself, or to meet them, but if they want to get something from themselves, or want to cooperate, they have to show their sincerity.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu remembered that he had mentioned earlier that the other party should compensate him for an interest-free loan of [-] million US dollars.

I don't know what kind of expressions will appear on the faces of Li Zhengnan and Song Yaolian when I repeat my old words during this trip to Baodao.

However, before leaving Xiangjiang, Lin Daoqiu still had to make preparations for "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Hu Jinquan is a very conscientious director. On the second day after he settled down, he started to study the script and took a lot of notes.

Not only that, he also went to Yuanjiaban to meet with Leslie Cheung and Chen Yulian to discuss the plot.

And just when Lin Daoqiu was about to leave for Treasure Island, Hu Jinquan suddenly came over and made a request to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, I plan to go to Cold Country to shoot this movie."

When filming "Legend in the Mountain" and "Spiritual Rain in the Empty Mountain" before, in order to pursue the perfection of form and artistic conception, both of them were shot in the cold country.

Hu Jinquan is more familiar with that place, and intends to pull "Legend of Sword and Fairy" there to shoot.

But just as he finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu shook his head and rejected the other party's request.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" cannot be filmed in the cold country, because I plan to let you go to the mainland to film this film."

Hu Jinquan originally thought that after Lin Daoqiu agreed, he could immediately start preparing for the cold country.

But what he never expected was that Lin Daoqiu wanted him to go to the mainland to film "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which was beyond his expectation.

Judging by the surprised expression on his face, Hu Jinquan never thought about filming in the mainland.

But the good news is that his righteous brother Li Hanxiang has been in secret contact with the mainland for the past few years, planning to make a movie, so they have talked about this before.

Famous mountains and great rivers and natural scenery in the mainland are definitely the greatest treasure land for film practitioners.

"What's the matter? If Director Hu has any concerns, he can speak up."

Lin Daoqiu knew that when he suddenly mentioned this matter, the other party would definitely be worried. After all, he spent most of his time in Baodao.

If Lin Daoqiu went back to make films at this time, Baodao would definitely be very dissatisfied, and might even block him.

But thinking about the famous mountains and rivers in the mainland, as well as those buildings and landscapes that are not found in foreign countries, this is another great attraction for a person who is obsessed with movies.

"I, Mr. Lin, can let me think about it."

Lin Daoqiu's sudden mention made Hu Jinquan not know how to answer for a while.

He really wanted an answer, but he still had concerns in his heart. He planned to find Li Hanxiang and discuss with him whether he should go to the mainland to film.

"No problem. I'm going to Baodao soon. I hope Director Hu can give me an answer when I come back."

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to force the other party, he had to agree immediately, after all, the situation between the two sides is still very complicated, and it is normal for him to have concerns.

After leaving Lin Daoqiu's office, Hu Jinquan immediately went to the phone booth on the street, called Li Hanxiang, and asked him out for tea.

I asked for a box in the teahouse, and after Hu Jinquan entered the box, he started to be in a daze alone.

Hu Jinquan didn't react until he heard the sound of the door opening.

"Why is it so easy to ask me out for tea? Aren't you preparing for "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

Li Hanxiang didn't know that Hu Jinquan was in trouble, and thought that the other party was just taking a break from his busy schedule.

Shaking his hand, Hu Jinquan sighed.

"Hey, don't mention it, Lin Daoqiu gave me another problem this time."

As soon as Li Hanxiang heard it, he immediately became interested. He wanted to know what problems Lin Daoqiu had caused Hu Jinquan.

"Mr. Lin said that he plans to let me shoot the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" there."

Li Hanxiang, who was originally curious, immediately froze the smile on his face after hearing the news.

The investment in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is so large, if this movie is really filmed in the mainland, it will definitely not be able to be released on Baodao by then.

You must know that at this time, Baodao is a huge ticket warehouse for Xiangjiang Films.

Moreover, if Lin Daoqiu did this and annoyed those people in Baodao, New Oriental would probably be blocked by then. Without Baodao as a big ticket warehouse, I am afraid that there would definitely be a lot of trouble inside New Oriental.

"This matter is absolutely unacceptable. You should persuade Mr. Lin immediately, because this is not only related to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but also affects the entire New Oriental theater chain."

Li Hanxiang is a polished commander, so he is not worried about being blocked by Baodao.

But Lin Daoqiu is different. If he is blocked, it will affect a large number of people. This is no joke.

"Brother, in fact, if possible, I'd like to take this movie back for filming."

Although Hu Jinquan has many concerns, if he can go back to filming, it must be the best choice.

After all, whether in Xiangjiang and Baodao, or South Korea and other Southeast Asian countries, no place can compare with the mainland in terms of natural scenery and humanities.

"Jin Quan, it's not the time yet. Let me see it this way. I'll call Mr. Lin immediately and explain to him."

Li Hanxiang didn't want to get Lin Daoqiu into big trouble because of this "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After thinking about it, Hu Jinquan had no choice but to agree with Li Hanxiang's opinion.

Lin Daoqiu felt very strange when he suddenly received a call from Li Hanxiang asking him to meet, but after hearing that Hu Jinquan was there, Lin Daoqiu thought about it, and he could more or less guess that the other party was looking for him because he was going back to the mainland for filming.

Lin Daoqiu agreed immediately, saying that he would go there immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Daoqiu also hopes to convey his opinion to the other party. After all, it is a general trend to go back to filming. No matter how you say it, it is his home there. Compared with foreign countries, his homeland is of course better.
