Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 948 What a High Expectation

The filming of "Tomb Raider" in Thailand went very smoothly, especially in the later stage, Brigitte Lin was already getting better, and Tom Cruise's kung fu was also well learned.

Lin Daoqiu, seeing Tom Cruise studying kung fu so hard, specially arranged a scene for him to fight against Brigitte Lin.

Lin Daoqiu asked Yuan Heping to be responsible for the martial arts action design of the two.

What I have to say is that experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.

After Yuan Heping's whimsical thinking, Brigitte Lin and Tom Cruise's tricks, it is impossible to see that these two people have never learned kung fu before.

"Crack..."

When Tom Cruise fell to the ground with a face of unwillingness, the role of "Tomb Raider" in Thailand was finally completed.

After two months of filming, in this midsummer weather, and it is still located in tropical Thailand, it is conceivable that the crew and actors have suffered.

After Lin Qingxia filmed these two months of filming, she was tanned and she lost five kilograms in weight.

The other actors weren't much better off, but for Tom Cruise, the experience really paid off.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for giving me this opportunity, and I would like to toast you."

The night before the crew left Thailand, Tom Cruise's role had already been wrapped, so he didn't need to continue with the crew.

Tom Cruise is very satisfied with Lin Daoqiu being able to let himself participate in the filming of "Tomb Raider" and learning Kung Fu here for two months.

The filming of "Tomb Raider" has benefited him a lot, and it will be of great help to his future film career.

"Cruise, from the first moment I saw you, I thought you were a very promising young actor."

Lin Daoqiu said this sentence pretentiously. If it is put into later generations, people will definitely laugh at him for being shameless.

But now Tom Cruise, he is just an unknown young actor, while Lin Daoqiu is a famous producer in Hollywood.

He said this to Tom Cruise in front of so many people, and everyone didn't think there was anything strange about it.

I even think that Tom Cruise should be very happy to get Lin Daoqiu's words.

And Tom Cruise's reaction was obviously exactly the same as what everyone thought. After hearing Lin Daoqiu's approval, Tom Cruise immediately showed a happy smile on his face.

After the crew left Thailand, they returned to Xiangjiang to film the next scene.

On the set of Magic Studio, several locations have been set up specially for the filming of "Tomb Raider".

After returning to Xiangjiang, Lin Daoqiu let the crew rest for two days, and he returned directly to New Oriental.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. He is waiting for you inside."

Fang Jinsheng has been back to Xiangjiang from Treasure Island for some time.

The general manager of New Oriental's Baodao branch has been selected. Lin Daoqiu found Yu Kanping to be the general manager, and the director was handed over to Zhang Aijia.

For Lin Daoqiu's decision, Zhang Aijia did not express any objection, and she even seemed very happy.

After all, Yu Kanping is a young and promising director of the new generation, and he has collaborated with Lin Daoqiu in "Where the Dried Wine Is Selling Nothing".

Zhang Aijia has watched that play more than five times, and every time she watched it, she burst into tears. On the one hand, she admired Lin Daoqiu's talent, and on the other hand, she noticed the director Yu Kanping.

I didn't expect that this time New Oriental's branch in Xiangjiang would be run by Yu Kanping, whom I admire very much. Zhang Aijia was very happy.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see, your complexion seems to be getting better and better."

When He Guanchang said this, the expression on his face was not very happy, it seemed that he came to Xingshi today to question the teacher.

"Mr. He doesn't look very happy. Is there something I have offended you?"

Lin Daoqiu knew without asking, that He Guanchang must have come today because of Li Yuanba's affairs.

Two months was enough for He Guanchang to find out what was going on with the drama between Chen Xunqi and Li Yuanba.

"Mr. Lin, it was agreed at the beginning that you come up with a script to make Li Yuanba famous, but now as far as I know, the movie Li Yuanba is shooting now is not your script."

It was no wonder that He Guanchang was so unhappy. After all, it was agreed at the beginning that Lin Daoqiu would make Li Yuanba popular, so they were willing to form a joint theater chain with New Oriental.

But what I didn't expect was that Chen Xunqi and Li Yuanba's new play had nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu at all.

If it wasn't for him being a producer, this drama would have nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu at all.

He Guanchang also trusted Lin Daoqiu's relationship too much before, so he didn't investigate carefully the new movie that Chen Xunqi and the others were going to shoot.

If he had known that their new play was not written by Lin Daoqiu, He Guanchang would never let Li Yuanba participate in a movie directed by a novice director, Chen Xunqi.

"It seems that Mr. He is negligent and doesn't trust Director Chen very much."

Lin Daoqiu thought it was normal for He Guanchang to have such worries. After all, because of his own butterfly effect, Chen Xunqi was not able to join the Golden Princess, so he never made a movie.

If Chen Xunqi had joined the Golden Princess and established Yongjia Films before, even if He Guanchang was a little worried, he would never come to tell him these things.

"It's not distrust, but because Chen Xunqi has never made a movie before. Mr. Lin should be very clear about how important Li Yuanba's movie is to Golden Harvest."

The more He Guanchang talked, the angrier he became. He felt that Lin Daoqiu didn't take their agreement seriously.

Now that the uncooked rice has been cooked into cooked rice, even if He Guanchang wants to repent, it will be too late, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"There is one thing I want to ask Mr. He first."

Lin Daoqiu did not answer Chen Xunqi's question, but instead asked He Guanchang.

He Guanchang looked at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously, he didn't understand what the other party wanted to ask him.

"I don't know how high Golden Harvest's expectations are for Li Yuanba's drama, or to put it bluntly, how much box office it gets is a pass."

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's question, He Guanchang had already talked about it with Zou Wenhuai.

They all always thought that with Lin Daoqiu's script, coupled with the establishment of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and the power of the end of the Spring Festival, this drama should at least get a box office of between 2000 million and 3000 million.

"At least 2000 million or more."

He Guanchang didn't dare to say too much, after all, Li Yuanba was far behind Jackie Chan, if he said 3000 million, Lin Daoqiu would probably laugh at his ignorance.
