Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1389
"You two, if you want to quarrel, go out and quarrel. This venue is not a place for you to quarrel at this time."

Lin Daoqiu frowned slightly.

When Mai Jia and Teddy Robin saw Lin Daoqiu frowned, they immediately suppressed their anger.

"That's right, everyone who celebrates the New Year should be happy, and we will talk about creative matters in the future."

Tsui Hark and Huang Baiming also hurried to smooth things over.

Maijia and Teddy Robin also realized that this is really not the time for them to argue, so they didn't continue to mention "Best Partner".

Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming came late, and as soon as they arrived at the main table, they found that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere of the scene.

"Mr. Lin Gong Xi Fa Cai..."

After the two greeted Lin Daoqiu, the other party smiled and nodded.

The preparations for "Outlaws" were not interrupted because of the Chinese New Year. For this drama, Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming stayed at Magic Studio for several months.

After finally getting Lin Daoqiu's permission to start the stage of filming, there is no better New Year's gift for Wang Jing and the others.

But the most distressing thing for Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming now is that the leading actor of this drama has not yet been decided.

Lin Daoqiu hadn't mentioned it to them before, but in fact, he had already appointed Cruise to play the leading role in this drama, so the two of them had been struggling for several months for this role.

"Mr. Lin, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Wang Jing looked at Lin Daoqiu with a smile all over his face.

Wen Jun was asked to change seats, and Wang Jing sat directly beside Lin Daoqiu.

"Actually, it's like this. The leading actor in that play hasn't been decided yet. I've prepared a few names, and I'd like to ask you to help me with them."

Lin Daoqiu originally wanted to tell Wang Jing that he had already appointed Tom Cruise as the leading actor in this play.

But seeing Wang Jing's serious expression, Lin Daoqiu decided to listen first to see which actors he had prepared.

"I have thought about it carefully. The leading actor should not be too old. So after excluding some people, I think Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, Sam Hui, and Andy Lau and Tony Leung, who have just joined Dongshi, are all good candidates."

Wang Jing said while looking at Lin Daoqiu eagerly.

It can be said that the people he selected, except Dillon who is a little older, are all within a reasonable range.

If the investment in this film is not large, it would be a good choice to focus on Asia and choose a leading actor according to what Wang Jing said.

But the investment in this drama is really too big. If Chinese actors are cast in it, it may be difficult for this drama to have too much influence when it is released abroad.

Although Lin Daoqiu also hopes that all the main roles in this film can be played by Chinese, but whether it is now or in the future, it is obviously difficult to do this in Hollywood.

"Actually, I have already chosen the leading actor for this play."

Lin Daoqiu's words stunned Wang Jing. He stared blankly at Lin Daoqiu. The other party had never told him about these things before.

"He had a character in Tomb Raider before, named Tom Cruise."

Wang Jing has watched the movie "Tomb Raider" several times, so he probably has some impressions of the characters in it.

As for Lin Daoqiu's decision, Wang Jing did not have the idea of ​​resistance. After careful consideration, he found that Lin Daoqiu's approach seemed to be correct.

After all, this movie cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so it is obviously impossible to pay back in Asia. At that time, the main box office will still be placed in Hollywood and other countries in the world.

If all Chinese actors are used as the leading roles, then the main force of the box office will probably become Chinese.

Even relying on Lin Daoqiu's name can attract some spectators to enter the arena, but if there is a choice, Wang Jing certainly hopes to attract more spectators to buy tickets to enter the arena.

"I see."

Wang Jing didn't say anything, since Lin Daoqiu had already made up his mind, he had nothing to say.

"At that time, half of the filming locations of this film will be in Xiangjiang and the other half will be overseas. You can revise the script earlier, and you can start filming earlier."

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, Amin and I have carefully revised the script several times. I believe you will be satisfied with the final draft this time."

It can be said that Wang Jing has put in a lot of hard work during this period. He has carefully referred to many blockbuster movies in the world, not only those made by Lin Daoqiu, but also Hollywood action movies.

Although Lin Daoqiu has already written the main plot of this play, some areas still need to be refined.

Wang Jing doesn't want to continue to postpone this "Ghost Warrior" because of the script. This is something he absolutely doesn't want to see.

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu and Wang Jing were chatting about the movie "Ghost Boy", Wang Zuxian's attention was immediately attracted.

When she learned that half of the film will be filmed abroad, Wang Zuxian looked very happy, because it means that she can also go abroad to film movies at that time.

"Anything to be happy about?"

Lin Daoqiu found that Wang Zuxian beside him suddenly laughed.

"No, I just feel very happy to hear that the film will be filmed abroad. I have no experience of filming abroad before."

Hearing what Wang Zuxian said, Lin Daoqiu knew that she was happy because of this.

Lin Daoqiu's filming location for this drama has not yet been decided, but it is generally confirmed that it will be filmed in several different countries.

"When I went abroad to film for the first time, I was actually as excited as you."

What impressed Lin Daoqiu the most was when he went to Egypt when he was filming "The Mummy" and was exposed to the wind and sun in the desert.

"Mr. Lin, can you tell me more about filming abroad?"

Wang Zuxian seems to be particularly interested in this matter.

Before the banquet started, Lin Daoqiu chatted with Wang Zuxian about filming abroad.

Wang Zuxian was very fascinated, after all, these things are very new to her.

"Filming in the desert can be said to be the most painful thing. My greatest wish is not to film in the desert in the future."

Although many movie fans have always hoped that Lin Daoqiu will make a sequel to "The Mummy", Lin Daoqiu does not want to suffer like that, and the box office performance of "The Mummy" can only be said to be mediocre.

Using the same energy to produce another type of film will obviously yield greater benefits in the end.

This is one of the reasons why Lin Daoqiu didn't want to make a sequel to "The Mummy".
