Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 744 Return or not?
Originally, Hu Jinquan thought that it was already a great thing that he could get the same standard budget as "New Shushan Swordsman".

After all, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a novel written by Lin Daoqiu, and it is also a commercial film. It is reasonable to spend so much money to make this film.

But what Hu Jinquan didn't expect was that it was the first time he heard the phrase that there is no upper limit to the budget from someone else.

If this sentence came from someone else's mouth, Hu Jinquan would still feel that the other party was talking nonsense, and even felt that he was perfunctory Li Hanxiang.

But the person who said this was Lin Daoqiu, and Hu Jinquan immediately realized that Li Hanxiang was so much luckier than himself this time.

But at this time, Li Hanxiang, who had always been gentle and refined, blushed immediately after hearing Lin Daoqiu's promise.

When making movies, especially art movies, the most troublesome thing is to find investment, and they often need to spend a lot of energy in order to find investors.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much."

Li Hanxiang stepped forward excitedly, holding Lin Daoqiu's hand with both hands.

Lin Daoqiu also said that there is no upper limit to the budget, knowing that these three films are likely to be unprofitable.

That means that Lin Daoqiu didn't even think about making money here, but sincerely wanted to make these three historical dramas well.

It can be said that investors like Lin Daoqiu are not rare, but very rare.

Even Li Hanxiang, who has been in the film industry for so many years, rarely meets investors like Lin Daoqiu.

"Director Li, you're welcome. What you have to do now is to find ways to make this film a good one. Then I will assign someone to help you. If you have any difficulties, you can talk to him."

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu would not go with Li Hanxiang, after all, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so he was completely out of control.

"Mr. Lin, I'll just put my words here. If I ruin these three films by then, I will quit the film industry directly, and from now on, the words Li Hanxiang will be written backwards."

Li Hanxiang no longer knew how to thank Lin Daoqiu, because he was so excited that he couldn't calm down now.

Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his hands. He didn't want to add any psychological burden to Li Hanxiang.

"I believe in Director Li's strength. As for what you said, forget it. I don't want to let you, an excellent film talent, retire early because of one or two films. Then I will be guilty of a big crime."

The three of them drank this afternoon tea very happily, especially Li Hanxiang, who couldn't wait to go back and rework the script.

Because in order to save money before, Li Hanxiang could only delete some unnecessary places, but now he can add those things back.

"Director Hu, what do you think?"

After solving Li Hanxiang's matter, the purpose of Lin Daoqiu's trip is still to know whether Hu Jinquan would follow his suggestion and take "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to the mainland for filming?
Li Hanxiang, who was originally very excited, heard Lin Daoqiu's question, and then he remembered the purpose of inviting Lin Daoqiu to come over.

"Mr. Lin, I think it's better not to go to the mainland to shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Hu Jinquan hadn't spoken yet, but Li Hanxiang gave his own conclusion first.

Lin Daoqiu looked at the other party and said nothing, as if he wanted to know why Li Hanxiang said that.

"Treasure Island is a very large ticket warehouse for the Hong Kong film market. If "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is filmed in the mainland, it will definitely be blocked by the Treasure Island, and it will even affect the entire New Oriental. .”

Li Hanxiang said all this for the good of Lin Daoqiu. After all, in Xiangjiang, there are still many people who rely on the Baodao Film Market for food.

If something goes wrong with New Oriental, a large number of people will lose their jobs because of this.

"It's normal for Director Li to have such concerns. I have thought about these issues before, but I still say the same thing. I hope "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will return to mainland China to shoot."

Li Hanxiang may have underestimated Lin Daoqiu. In fact, Lin Daoqiu knew better than him what the outcome of filming in the Mainland would be.

Although the situation between the two sides is not as fierce as before, there are still confrontations, and it will take a few years for this situation to improve.

But for Lin Daoqiu, he actually doesn't care too much about the film market in Taiwan.

After all, the money he earns just from making movies in Hollywood now is not known how many times more than Xiangjiang plus Treasure Island Market.

Perhaps the film market in Formosa is a huge box office for many filmmakers in Xiangjiang.

But for Lin Daoqiu, apart from Xiangjiang, the film market in Baodao is basically dispensable to him.

Even if he is blocked by the other party, it will not be a big problem for Lin Daoqiu, but there may be internal rebound at that time.

Originally, Li Hanxiang thought that after he finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu would think about it carefully, but after hearing what the other party said, he already realized that Lin Daoqiu had already made up his mind.

"Since Mr. Lin has said so, of course I respect Mr. Lin's meaning."

After Li Hanxiang finished speaking, he turned to look at Hu Jinquan.

It can be said that the right to decide now falls on Hu Jinquan, if he agrees to shoot, if he refuses, I am afraid that Lin Daoqiu will really change the director.

"Since Mr. Lin has said so, then I will do what you want. In fact, I have long wanted to go back to filming, but I don't know the situation there."

How to say that is his hometown over there, and it must be nonsense to say that Hu Jinquan doesn't want to go home.

It was only because I had too many worries before that I couldn't make the trip.

But now that his elder brother and Lin Daoqiu have already done this, even if they are really made things difficult by Baodao, or even banned, Hu Jinquan has nothing to fear.

"Thank you Director Hu for your understanding. Director Li, I will trouble you for the coordination. After all, I have never had contact with them, and I have no plans to contact them for the time being."

Lin Daoqiu has no idea of ​​contacting the higher authorities, so he can only ask Li Hanxiang to help him match up.

I believe he will be able to get in touch with some upper-level people, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to go back to filming at this time. Lin Daoqiu is sure that the upper class must be very welcome.

Although Li Hanxiang didn't know why Lin Daoqiu didn't contact the higher authorities himself, these were not issues he needed to consider.

Helping Hu Jinquan was actually helping him, so Li Hanxiang nodded directly and readily agreed.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders. I believe they will also welcome Jin Quan to go back to filming."

　Thanks, the chair in the world has a big monthly ticket!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
