Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 950
He Guanchang finally agreed to the bet with Lin Daoqiu.

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Win or lose, Golden Harvest seems to be the winner in the end, or at least that's what it sounds like.

But He Guanchang is not the kind of fledgling young man, he will definitely have his own judgment.

In fact, He Guanchang is more convinced that Chen Xunqi's new play should not break the box office of 2000 million.

Based on this idea, He Guanchang agreed to make this bet with Lin Daoqiu.

After He Guanchang left, Lin Daoqiu started to deal with the documents accumulated during his departure from Xiangjiang.

Since the reopening of Xiangjiang Cinemas, there are really many things to deal with.

Fortunately, Li Maowen already had management experience before, so there was no major problem.

The general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas is still Li Maowen. Golden Harvest didn't make any sense on this point, and everything is still handled as before.

While processing the files, Lin Daoqiu suddenly discovered that a very interesting movie appeared in the recent shooting plan of New Art City.

Although this is just a small-cost comedy, it is a movie that can be called a milestone.

Because according to the later director Gao Zhisen, this "Happy Ghost" was the movie with the highest net profit in Xinyi City in that year.

Originally, the production cost of the first part of "Happy Ghost" in the previous life was 250 million, but in this life it was reduced to 200 million.

Lin Daoqiu vaguely remembered that this movie was filmed around this time, but he didn't know the details.

""Happy Ghost"..."

Looking at the name on the document, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.

…………

"Happy Ghost" is Gao Zhisen's first film, and it's his first time as a director, and the director's fee for this film is only 6 yuan.

The reason why they get so little is because no one, including Gao Zhisen himself, can imagine how much box office this drama will get later.

Before that, Gao Zhisen had been acting as a screenwriter, and even worked as an actor and scene reporter.

After staying in Xinyi City for a while, he was appreciated by Mai Jia, and this time he was specially asked to direct this movie adapted from the stage play "Zhu Xiucai".

The three heroines of "Happy Ghost", Luo Mingzhu, Li Lizhen, and Lin Shanshan, are also acting in movies for the first time.

Li Lizhen was discovered by scouts in 80, and she started shooting commercials and working as a model, but she has not made any movies yet.

Luo Mingzhu was tapped to New Art City, this is her first movie.

As for Lin Shanshan, it is worth mentioning that her uncle is Dillon, but not many people know about it.

It can be seen from this that it is basically impossible to rely on the popularity of these three heroines to attract the audience.

The director and the three heroines are all newcomers. As for the actor Wu Shaogang, he is an actor from Taiwan.

His most famous play before was "Hit the Wrong Car". In Xiangjiang, Wu Shaogang is basically not famous.

And the leading actor in this play is actually played by Huang Baiming from New Art City.

Seeing this, it always makes people feel that this "Happy Ghost" in New Art City seems to be here to make trouble.

At this time, the crew of "Happy Ghost" is filming in a middle school in Xiangjiang.

Because school has already started, they can only use weekends to shoot, and the time can be said to be a bit tight.

"You will act like this later, with a relaxed expression, don't be too nervous, just treat it as if you were talking to a friend, and relax."

The three heroines had no acting experience before, so what Gao Zhisen usually did most was to teach them how to act.

Not long after it was started, the progress of filming was still very slow, and the main problem was still on the side of the actress.

Fortunately, this drama does not have high requirements for acting skills, as long as they show their youthful and beautiful side.

"It's really hot enough to wear this ghost costume in this ghost weather."

Because Huang Baiming wants to play Zhu Xiucai, he usually wears an official uniform. It is really uncomfortable in this hot weather.

Even Huang Baiming has already made up his mind that next time he will definitely not shoot this kind of ghost movie on such a hot day.

"Brother Ming, work has started."

Hearing someone calling him, Huang Baiming got up and walked quickly, although he was complaining all the time.

While everyone was still filming in full swing, Gao Zhisen suddenly realized that a person seemed to be standing next to him.

At first, he didn't pay much attention when he was concentrating on filming. After the scene was finished, Gao Zhisen looked back and found that the young man beside him looked familiar.

But for a while, he couldn't remember what the other party's name was.

And just as Gao Zhisen was still trying to figure out the names of the dozens of companies, Huang Baiming suddenly called out.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

When Huang Baiming saw Lin Daoqiu, he immediately walked over quickly.

Hearing what Huang Baiming said, Gao Zhisen realized that the young man next to him turned out to be the big boss Lin Daoqiu.

Huang Baiming felt very strange about Lin Daoqiu's sudden appearance.

Among the cast and crew of "Happy Ghost", there should be no acquaintances of Lin Daoqiu, and it is impossible for him to visit his class.

"Just passing by here, I heard that you are filming here, so I came in to have a look."

Lin Daoqiu made up a reason casually. In fact, he just wanted to see how the progress of "Happy Ghost" was going.

At this time, there is still some time before the Spring Festival, and the filming cycle of "Happy Ghost" will not be very long.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that because the first part of "Happy Ghost" got a very good result, there were several follow-up parts.

"He's the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas. Didn't expect him to be so young?"

"At first, I thought he was very old, but I didn't expect him to be quite handsome."

Several actresses got together and began to chat about Lin Daoqiu. After all, this was the first time they met the legendary big man.

What they knew about Lin Daoqiu before was all from rumors or news reports.

"Don't be an idiot. I saw a report in a gossip magazine before. It said that Mr. Lin is surrounded by beautiful women. He doesn't like you."

One of the actresses poured cold water on them, but even if she didn't tell them, the others had heard of Lin Daoqiu's incident more or less.

"Director Gao is calling us."

Gao Zhisen had already waved to them at this time, and asked the three of them to go over and say hello to Lin Daoqiu.

After all, they are the heroines of this play, and the big boss came to visit the set, and it would be impossible for them not to go up and say hello.
