Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 139 Huge Order
"This is Master Zhou with the oldest qualification in the clothing group, and this is Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin."

Xu Zhubin introduced to Lin Daoqiu.

"Hello Master Zhou, please take care of me in the future."

For Lin Daoqiu, whether the quality of a film is good or not depends on the costumes, so he pays special attention to the costumes.

Although Master Zhou didn't know who Lin Daoqiu was, but seeing Xu Zhubin's flattering appearance, he knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Lin is polite, is there anything I can do for you?"

Lin Daoqiu nodded first, then looked back at Zhang Shuping.

Zhang Shuping handed over all the sketches in his hand to Master Zhou.

"Can the clothes in these sketches be made?"

Lin Daoqiu is not afraid of spending money, but what he is most worried about is that it will take too much time. After all, there is only one month left to leave the filming.

During this period, you have to get everything ready for shooting. If any item is left behind, it will delay the start-up time, which is not good.

Master Zhou took the sketch and looked at it carefully, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, he looked up at Lin Daoqiu: "No problem."

"I don't know how many days it will take?"

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, Master Zhou looked at the sketch again, and estimated the time in his mind.

"Five days is almost enough. If you want to make it more detailed, you have to add three more days."

It took eight days to make these sets of clothes. Lin Daoqiu definitely couldn't accept it, because what he had to do was hundreds of sets of clothes.

In addition to the protagonist and supporting roles, Lin Daoqiu does not intend to treat the other small characters carelessly. He wants to make a masterpiece of "Lotus Hegemony".

For Lin Daoqiu, the meaning of high-quality goods is to hold all the details to death from inside to outside, from top to bottom.

If it is calculated according to the progress of the other party, I am afraid that the costumes will not be produced in time next year. Lin Daoqiu does not have so much time to stay in Baodao to shoot TV dramas.

"Master Zhou, I need [-] sets of clothes of this quality, and another [-] sets of slightly inferior ones. See if you can get them done within a month."

At first, Master Zhou thought that the costumes that Lin Daoqiu and the others came to order looked so elegant that they should be used by the protagonists.

Based on his experience in the costume department for these years, there are only a few sets of clothes for the protagonist in a costume play, and the whole play needs to be customized, and the total is only a dozen or twenty sets, and the rest can be made from other ready-made clothes. Let's make do.

But he never expected that Lin Daoqiu would say three hundred sets, did he know what he was talking about?Does he know how much it costs to order a set of costumes?

At this time, Baodao’s salary was about 2400 yuan, and the per capita annual income was 1461 US dollars, which was 5 yuan when converted into Taiwan dollars. Such a set of costumes cost at least tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars.

Not only Master Zhou, but even Xu Zhubin was frightened by Lin Daoqiu's words. He also knew the approximate price of a set of custom-made costumes.

More than 200 million Taiwan dollars were thrown away before the filming of a movie started.

Unless you want to invite the most popular stars, such as Lin Qingxia and Qin Han, otherwise, the production fee of 100 million Taiwan dollars can even include the actors' salaries for general literary films.

In this way, Lin Daoqiu's money for making costumes alone is enough for their director to make three well-made movies.

"Any questions?"

It seemed that Lin Daoqiu didn't understand why the other party was so surprised.

Master Zhou didn't speak, he just turned his head and looked at Xu Zhubin next to him. If Lin Daoqiu wasn't the person he brought, he really thought this guy was here to make trouble.

"Mr. Lin is the chief producer of Xiangjiang, so you can do whatever he says."

Seeing Master Zhou's appearance, Xu Zhubin knew that he was doubting whether what Lin Daoqiu said was true or false, so he hurriedly explained to the other party.

As if being hit by a huge pie, Master Zhou looked very excited.

You must know that their clothing team has never taken such a large order for so many years. If they can finish it, each of them can earn at least tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars.

"Mr. Lin, please sit down quickly, and whoever doesn't hurry over to make tea, just use the pot of tea in my drawer."

Master Zhou's voice suddenly raised tens of degrees, which confused the tailors who were working around him. He didn't understand why Master Zhou suddenly became so excited today.

Master Zhou didn't bother to explain to those people. All he was thinking about now was how to proceed with this big order.

"Master Zhou, you're welcome. My request is very simple. Quality and quantity are guaranteed. I can produce [-] sets of costumes within a month. Can it be done?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't come to drink tea, he was most concerned about whether he could get the costumes out as scheduled.

Although I really want to pat my chest to guarantee it immediately, but [-] sets of costumes have to be produced within a month, even if all the people in their costume team add up, it is impossible to do it.

What's more, they still have some tasks in their hands from time to time, and it is impossible to transfer all of them.

But it is even more impossible for him to give up this big order like this. Master Zhou has even made up his mind that he must earn the money.

"No problem, but Mr. Lin needs to pay a deposit first, because our costume team only has more than 30 people, and we can't all come to help you make costumes, so we need to hire people from outside."

The only way now is to invite someone from the outside to help. Only by doing this can we rush out [-] sets of costumes within a month.

"How much does it cost in total for three hundred costumes?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't ask about the deposit, but first asked about the total price of the clothes.

"The protagonist's costume is about 1 yuan, and the next 280 yuan can be done. If you calculate it, it will cost about [-] million yuan."

Master Zhou didn't charge Lin Daoqiu a high price on purpose, and he didn't dare to do so. After all, the price of the costumes can be found out just by checking, and there is no way to hide it from anyone.

"I'll write you a check for 200 million now. If the work can be completed ahead of schedule, in addition to the remaining 80, I'll add 20 as a bonus for you."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he took out the checkbook from his pocket, wrote a 200 million check on the spot and handed it to Master Zhou.

Taking the check from Lin Daoqiu with trembling hands, Master Zhou never expected that the other party would be so generous.

By the time he reacted, Lin Daoqiu had already left.

"Xiaobin, who is this Mr. Lin? Why is he so generous?"

Xu Zhubin glanced in the direction where Lin Daoqiu was leaving, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"A few months ago, he filmed a movie called "Master Qian" in Xiangjiang, which won a box office of 880 million. If it is converted into Taiwan dollars, it is about 3000 million."
