Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 811 Buy it back

Lin Daoqiu didn't just talk casually.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao urgently need a movie to reappear in front of the audience.

If this movie can be released during the Spring Festival, it will definitely be a great help to them.

But unfortunately, the Spring Festival is only one and a half months away.

It is almost impossible to make a well-known and well-known movie in such a short period of time.

If this matter were replaced by someone else, he would definitely not even have to think about it.

But the person who said this was Lin Daoqiu, which gave Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao a lot of confidence.

"I don't know what Mr. Lin is going to do?"

Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao stretched their necks and looked at Lin Daoqiu, wanting to hear what he planned.

"We can make the third part of "Five Lucky Stars"."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Sammo Hung was immediately dumbfounded.

Because the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" is now in Jiahe's hands.

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to shoot, he had to get Jiahe's permission.

But in Xiangjiang, once a movie is released and becomes a big hit, a group of people will follow suit.

These people imitate those hit movies, and the quality of the movies they make is uneven, but some can still make money.

But it is obvious that Lin Daoqiu is completely different from those who follow suit.

Because Lin Daoqiu wrote the film "Five Lucky Stars", if he wanted to make a sequel, it would be a piece of cake.

And if Lin Daoqiu really wants to do it, he can completely avoid the name "Five Lucky Stars" and change it to another form, it depends on whether he wants to or not.

"Mr. Lin, the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" is in the hands of Golden Harvest, you should be very clear about this."

Hong Jinbao looked at Lin Daoqiu with some embarrassment, he didn't think Lin Daoqiu would not know about it.

After all, the person who sold the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" to Golden Harvest was Lin Daoqiu in front of Sammo Hung.

Regarding Sammo Hung's worries, Lin Daoqiu just smiled and did not speak.

"Okay, tonight is the premiere of "Mr. Zombie". We will talk about this matter tomorrow, but don't worry, you won't be disappointed then."

Lin Daoqiu patted Sammo Hung on the shoulder with a smile, and walked in with Brigitte Lin.

After watching Lin Daoqiu leave, Sammo Hung and the others suddenly murmured in their hearts.

"Brother, I actually don't think there is anything to worry about."

Just when Sammo Hung was still thinking about what Lin Daoqiu would do, Yuen Biao beside him suddenly said this.

Sammo Hung turned his head to look at Yuen Biao, his eyes were filled with confusion.

"With Mr. Lin's status today, if he really wants to make a film, do you think Mr. Zou and the others will object?"

When Sammo Hung heard this, he quickly shook his head.

What Yuan Biao said was correct, but the problem is that if Lin Daoqiu really did this, it would have a big impact on him.

At the beginning, Zou Wenhuai recruited Wang Yu to Golden Harvest to film "The One-Armed Sword Fighting the Blind Man". Because of this incident, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers were at odds.

Sammo Hung naturally does not hope that his relationship with Jiahe will become like that one day.

Yuen Biao saw Sammo Hung's appearance, he knew that the other party must have misunderstood his words.

"I mean, if Mr. Lin wants to shoot, he will definitely talk to Mr. Zou and the others. Don't worry."

When Sammo Hung heard it, he felt that Yuen Biao was right. If he could really get the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars", he would be very happy to make the third part.

And from Lin Daoqiu's words, it seems that Brigitte Lin will also join in this drama at that time.

If that's the case, the box office will definitely be very objective when the movie is released during the Spring Festival.

Because of Lin Daoqiu's words, Sammo Hung couldn't calm down all day.

And Lin Daoqiu, who was the client, had already sat down with Brigitte Lin at the seats.

"Are you really planning to make "Five Lucky Stars"? I remember that you have sold the copyright of this movie to Jiahe."

Brigitte Lin felt very curious, she didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly had this idea.

You must know that Golden Harvest is now on Bao Shaogang's side, and has also established Baojia Cinemas with the other party.

Does Lin Daoqiu really want to bow to Jiahe for Sammo Hung?

"Actually, the reason why I sold this movie to Golden Harvest was because my money was too tight. Otherwise, I really didn't want to sell it."

When this matter was mentioned, Lin Daoqiu also felt very helpless.

"Five Lucky Stars" is actually a very good theme. If it wasn't because he was short of money, he would have been reluctant to sell it to Golden Harvest if he wanted to collaborate with Run Run Shaw on "Mission Impossible".

"But speaking of it, Golden Harvest bought the copyright of this movie, so I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

The soul of "Five Lucky Stars" is naturally Sammo Hung who plays partridge.

Without him, the taste of this drama would be much less, and the money-absorbing power would obviously become weaker.

"Since they can't make it, I'm going to spend money to buy back the copyright of this movie, so there's nothing to worry about."

Lin Daoqiu believes that if he is willing to spend money to buy back the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars", Golden Harvest will seriously consider this proposal.

After all, without his own permission, it is impossible for Sammo Hung to cooperate with them.

Rather than having the copyright of this movie rotten in his hands, it would be more cost-effective to sell it to himself for some real money.

Unless Golden Harvest really intends to fight him to the end, even if there is no Sammo Hung, he still has to fight hard.

If they really do this, the final result will only ruin the film.

"But now the time is so tight, there is only one and a half months left, even if you buy back the copyright, will you really have time to shoot?"

Brigitte Lin was very curious about this. It took one and a half months to make a movie, which is actually not a difficult task in Xiangjiang.

But based on her understanding of Lin Daoqiu, he pays the most attention to the quality of the movie. How could there be a sudden change now?

"I'm afraid you don't know that it took me only one month to film my first film "Master Qian". At that time, I was still a fledgling guy."

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but began to recall the days when he was filming "Master Qian".

For Lin Daoqiu, he was able to shoot "Master Qian" within a month before, and it was still a big hit.

The resources in his hands are now many times stronger than before.

If he can't make a "Five Lucky Stars" in a month and a half now, Lin Daoqiu feels that he might as well kill himself with a piece of tofu.
