Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1144 Fighting against Sammo Hung

"Finally, I want to emphasize one point. I hope everyone will keep their mouths shut and not let the news out."

The last thing Lin Daoqiu wants to see is that the film has just entered the stage of preparation, and the outside world already knows the list of actors and the type of film.

Looking around, Lin Daoqiu's eyes were very calm, but under the calm eyes, there was a prestige that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will."

Since Lin Daoqiu spoke, the people at the scene naturally did not dare to spread the words casually, and Yuan Heping, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui naturally would not speak.

As for Lin Guobin and the others, this is the first time they have participated in a film directed by Lin Daoqiu. I believe they are not so courageous, dare to go out and talk nonsense.

After Lin Guobin and the others left, only Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were left on the scene.

"Brother Qiu, since you plan to praise Ms. Yang, why don't you follow Ms. Lin's track and expand the scale of this drama?"

Wen Jun felt that since Lin Daoqiu wanted to support Michelle Yeoh in person this time, he should make a big scene, preferably like the last "Mission Impossible", with a big production.

"Michelle Yeoh just made a movie, I don't know how it will turn out in the end, I plan to put this movie in Asia to test the waters first, if the effect is good this time, I will consider Hollywood in the future. "

Although Michelle Yeoh has become an internationally renowned martial arts superstar in later generations, this "Royal Sister" is her first movie starring, and Lin Daoqiu is not sure what the final effect will be.

If it is shown in Hollywood with such quality, the final effect will definitely not be much better.

Also taking female martial arts stars as the standard, the global box office of "Tomb Raider" starring Brigitte Lin before reached [-] million to nearly [-] million US dollars.

This is the result of Lin Qingxia's accumulation in Hollywood over the past few years. If it were Michelle Yeoh's new play that was released, Lin Daoqiu felt that "The Royal Sister" could only get a box office of over [-] million at most.

And to get such a box office, Lin Daoqiu's investment in this movie must be at least more than 2000 million US dollars.

Although it is definitely profitable in the end, it may consume more energy and time. If you compare it carefully, you will find that the gain outweighs the gain.

So Lin Daoqiu still decided to let Michelle Yeoh accumulate some fame and experience in Xiangjiang first, as for the matter in Hollywood, it will be settled later.

"Besides, starting this year, you and Wang Jing's film work should be more vigorous. Although the Xiangjiang Cinemas was taken away by the sixth uncle, but now the cinemas are concentrated in one, it is a good thing for the film practitioners."

Although [-]% of Xiangjiang's theaters are in the hands of Run Run Shaw, it is precisely because of this that the box office potential of Xiangjiang's films has been raised to a new level in an instant.

Right now, it is indeed the hottest period in the Xiangjiang film market. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, it is indeed a great opportunity to make money right now.

"Sammo Hung and the others have set up an actors' association, and many actors have joined this association. I am worried that Sammo Hung and the others are doing this in order to hold Xiangjiang's actor resources."

Wen Jun's worry is not unreasonable. After all, a free association has been established before, and Xiangjiang's filmmakers are not allowed to have any cooperation with the mainland.

Now that Sammo Hung has set up an actors' association, maybe he will stipulate that the actors and entertainers who join are not allowed to cooperate with New Oriental.

It seems that Wen Jun is very worried about this. After all, once such a situation arises in the future, they will indeed have a lot of difficulties in finding celebrities to film.

But after Lin Daoqiu listened to Wen Jun's words, he couldn't help laughing.

"If they had such a great ability, they wouldn't end up in this field."

In Lin Daoqiu's view, it will take at least a few years for the actor's association to really develop.

But by that time, his own school has already been established, so Lin Daoqiu is not worried at all about Sammo Hung and the others using this actor association to increase their influence in the Xiangjiang film and television circle.

What's more, there are so many actors in Xiangjiang, and most of them are thinking about filming. With the capacity of Golden Harvest and Dibao, it is almost impossible to win over all other stars except New Oriental and ATV to their banners. things.

And the most important thing is that more than [-]% of the movies produced by Xiangjiang in a year are bad movies or movies that don't make money. If Jiahe and Dibao like to play like this, I don't mind making them lose even more. many.

"Brother Qiu, I think there are some things that need to be guarded against."

Zheng Danrui felt that Lin Daoqiu was a little too confident, and if Sammo Hung was allowed to go on like this, it would definitely not be a good thing for New Oriental.

Moreover, the incident at Xiangjiang Cinemas had just happened not long ago, which caught Lin Daoqiu by surprise.

If it weren't for this, Lin Daoqiu would be in charge of Xiangjiang's film industry now, and it definitely wouldn't be Run Run Shaw and the others.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui very curiously, he wanted to know what the two guys came up with.

"If they can do it, why can't we do it? He's running the Actors' Association, and we're running the Screenwriters and Directors' Association. Brother Qiu, you come to be the convener."

Judging from Lin Daoqiu's status in Xiangjiang and the world at this moment, there is absolutely no problem for him to be the convener.

If he came to be the convener, both Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui agreed that the momentum of Sammo Hung's Actors Association could definitely be defeated.

Sammo Hung wanted to control the resources of the actors, so they monopolized the resources of the director and screenwriter, and it would depend on who was more ruthless.

Lin Daoqiu couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, these two guys really like to find trouble for nothing.

But I have to say that at this time, most of Xiangjiang's relatively good directors and screenwriters are under his banner.

The original four famous directors of the Shaw Brothers, Wen Jun, Wang Jing, Zheng Danrui, the new seven-member team of New Art City, and the previously established Screenwriters Association, there are also many screenwriters.

But at this time, in Xiangjiang's film and television industry, everyone is most concerned about the resources of stars, and directors and screenwriters are not particularly fancy.

And especially in the profession of screenwriting, apart from Lin Daoqiu who was relatively successful, other capable screenwriters tried their best to switch to become directors, so that they would have a greater voice and naturally earn more money.

"Okay, but let me declare first that the establishment of this association of directors and screenwriters is not to compete with Sammo Hung and the others."

Although Lin Daoqiu said so, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't think so after hearing it.

Their thoughts at this moment are very simple, that is to beat Sammo Hung's momentum.
