Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 951 No Special Effects?
"Hello, Mr. Lin..."

The three women walked up to Lin Daoqiu and greeted him politely.

When they stood watching from a distance, they didn't feel too nervous.

But when they walked over and looked at Lin Daoqiu, who was only a few steps away from them, they tensed up in unison.

This was the first time they saw such a big man as Lin Daoqiu. They thought they could not be nervous, but they couldn't do it at all.

After all, if the shadow of a famous tree is not a person who is engaged in the film industry, perhaps he would not have too many thoughts about Lin Daoqiu.

Ordinary citizens have a very simple view of Lin Daoqiu, a movie tycoon, a powerful screenwriter, the big boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, a rich man and so on.

But once you step into the film industry, want to become a star, or want to make a difference in the film industry, it is impossible to be indifferent to Lin Daoqiu.

The three women all looked youthful and beautiful.

As for Lin Shanshan, Lin Daoqiu didn't have much impression of her, but on the way here, he knew from Fang Jinsheng that her uncle was Ti Lung.

In her previous life, Lin Shanshan did not develop too much in the film industry. After filming "Happy Ghost", she was not asked to star in the sequel.

After that, his development in the film industry was not very good, but he later moved to the backstage and served as Ekin Cheng's agent.

As for the other heroine Luo Mingzhu's development in the film industry is not much different from that of Lin Shanshan, she also failed to appear in the sequel of Happy Ghost.

Later, after acting in several movies and TV series, he also slowly quit the entertainment industry and changed his career to business.

As for the last heroine, Li Lizhen, among the three heroines, she is the one with the best development in the film industry.

From the debut of "Happy Ghost" until 96, he starred in several movies every year, and is known as one of the representatives of the sexy goddess in later generations.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think too much about Lin Shanshan and Luo Mingzhu, because Lin Daoqiu came from time travel.

Knowing that these two girls did not develop very well in the film industry, Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to delve into why this happened.

His main purpose of visiting the class today is not only to know the filming progress of "Happy Ghost", but also to see Li Lizhen.

Li Lizhen, who was only 17 years old at this time, was still very immature in terms of appearance and temperament, and she was still a little baby fat. No one could have imagined that she would become the sexy goddess in the public's mouth.

"With three such young and beautiful beauties joining, I believe that "Happy Ghost" will definitely sell well at the box office."

I didn't know that Lin Daoqiu was talking politely, but they all took Lin Daoqiu's words seriously.

"Director Gao, Mr. Lin has said so, our movie will definitely sell well."

Luo Mingzhu seemed to be the most excited of the three, after all, that was her personality, and New Art City recruited her because of this.

Gao Zhisen is not as simple as Luo Mingzhu. He has been in the film industry for several years, and he can tell what is polite and what is truth.

With just the three girls, "Happy Ghost" could sell well at the box office. Even if Gao Zhisen was the director of this movie, he wouldn't think so.

But since Lin Daoqiu said so, Gao Zhisen naturally wouldn't show any doubts in front of everyone.

So Gao Zhisen immediately agreed.

"Since Mr. Lin is so optimistic about this drama, you should work harder."

Huang Baiming on the side remained silent for a while, many question marks were popping up in his mind at this moment.

Why did Lin Daoqiu suddenly come to visit the class, which made him puzzled.

You must know that the production cost of "Happy Ghost" is only 200 million. If it was placed three years ago, this might be considered a high-cost movie.

But now it is the end of 1983, and the box office of Xiangjiang movies has been raised by New Oriental to more than 700 million.

Compared with Lin Daoqiu's "Master Qian", which broke the box office record of Xiangjiang movies, it was a full 2000 million more.

In the past, 50 to 100 yuan could be used to make a film, but now it is too embarrassing to do so without [-] million yuan.

The three heroines looked pretty, only Li Lizhen was pretty, but compared with the beauties around Lin Daoqiu, they were not good enough at all.

Could it be that Lin Daoqiu is really optimistic about the drama "Happy Ghost", that's why he made a special trip to visit the cast?
"What are you thinking?"

Lin Daoqiu found that Huang Baiming was standing beside him, looking as if he was in a daze, and he didn't respond to his own questions.

Hearing someone talking beside him, Huang Baiming woke up suddenly. When he realized that it was Lin Daoqiu talking to him, Huang Baiming quickly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I just remembered a scene, and then I lost my mind."

Huang Baiming's words are true or false, Lin Daoqiu will not pursue it.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

Besides Huang Baiming, Lin Daoqiu and Gao Zhisen also called over.

When the three walked aside, Lin Daoqiu asked about "Happy Ghost".

"How did you come up with the idea to make this type of movie?"

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's question, Gao Zhisen turned to look at Huang Baiming, because only he could answer it.

"Mr. Lin, I actually made this film because I happened to see a group of middle school students performing the play "Zhu Xiucai". I thought it was very good, so I bought the copyright and adapted it into "Happy Ghost."

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening. At first, he thought that "Happy Ghost" was written by Huang Baiming, but he didn't expect it to be an adaptation.

"Mr. Lin, have you read the script?"

New Art City will send the script to New Oriental before shooting. Lin Daoqiu was not there before, and the person who read the script was Li Maowen.

Lin Daoqiu has already explained before that Li Maowen can decide on the shooting plan under 500 million by himself.

"Yes, I have read the script of "Happy Ghost", and I think it is very interesting, but the production fee is only 200 million, what are you going to do with the special effects?"

Although "Happy Ghost" is not the kind of scary ghost film, but when it uses super powers, and when it comes to super powers, it needs to use some special effects more or less.

"Special effects?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu mentioning special effects, the expression on Huang Baiming's face suddenly became very embarrassing.

200 million to shoot a movie and want to do special effects, this is simply an incredible thing.

At least before that, Huang Baiming and the others never even thought about doing special effects in "Happy Ghost". After all, the budget is so big, they can't even shoot the scene after doing special effects.

"You don't plan to do special effects?"

This time, it was Lin Daoqiu who showed a very surprised expression. He clearly remembered that when he was watching "Happy Ghost", there should be special effects in it. Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
