Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1868 Shooting is progressing rapidly

When they heard the news that Lin Daoqiu was going to start filming "A Happy Event", both Wang Jing and Wen Jun agreed that "God of Gamblers" must have no chance of winning during the Spring Festival.

So they came to Lin Daoqiu this time to avoid those powerful enemies and switch to a relatively loose schedule. In that case, there may be a possibility of getting 6000 million box office.

But now Lin Daoqiu told them that if they mentioned the Christmas schedule, it would be absolutely impossible for them to get a box office of 6000 million.

And on the contrary, if you stay in the Spring Festival file, you still have the possibility of getting 6000 million.

When Lin Daoqiu said this, Wang Jing and the three were completely dumbfounded, because it was completely contrary to what they thought.

"Brother Qiu, you're not lying to us, are you?"

Wen Jun didn't quite believe Lin Daoqiu's words. He even felt that the other party was deceiving them so that they would willingly stay in the Spring Festival stall and wait to die.

"Did I force you to stay in the Spring Festival stall? I'm just telling you my thoughts. As for how you choose in the end, that's your own business, and it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Daoqiu shrugged his shoulders at Wen Jun, he had already finished what he wanted to say.

As for whether Wen Jun and the others choose to stay in the Spring Festival stall or leave, that is their own choice.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't say these words, then Wen Jun and the others must be determined to change gears.

But after Lin Daoqiu said this, the three of them became hesitant.

"It's still early, you can think about it slowly, and I didn't tell you to make a decision right away, you can talk about it after a period of time."

There are still a few months before the Christmas schedule or the Spring Festival schedule, so there is still plenty of time for Wen Jun and the others to think about it.

"It's just that you have to remember one thing, that is, no matter whether you switch gears in the end, the movie "God of Gamblers" can get a good box office result because of the quality of the movie."

For Lin Daoqiu's words, the three still agree very much.

If "God of Gamblers" doesn't have a good enough quality, word-of-mouth won't come out by then, and naturally it won't drive more audiences to buy tickets.

After leaving Lin Daoqiu's office, the expressions on the faces of the three of them were much more tangled than before they came.

Originally, they were determined to change gears, but after being told by Lin Daoqiu, their thoughts immediately became loose.

"Do you think Brother Qiu wants to help us or harm us? I'm really not sure."

Wen Jun felt that his mind was in a mess, because he couldn't tell whether what Lin Daoqiu said to them just now was helping them or hurting them.

And after the previous series of events, Wen Jun can be said to respect and fear Lin Daoqiu.

As long as Lin Daoqiu moved a little bit, they would have no way to parry at all, and they could only be led by the nose by Lin Daoqiu.

"I think Brother Qiu should be planning to help us this time. After all, our current situation is so bad, there's no need for him to lie to us."

Zheng Danrui still trusts Lin Daoqiu, he thinks Lin Daoqiu is helping them this time.

"If Mr. Lin really wants to drive us to Baodao, he can just say something, or just watch us quietly without doing anything, and we will never be able to make a movie with a box office of 6000 million. ..."

"So I think Mr. Lin should be planning to help us this time, at least to prevent us from going on the wrong path."

Wang Jing's logic is very clear, Lin Daoqiu probably didn't intend to drive them to Treasure Island, and this time he made so many things to punish himself and Wen Jun.

Judging from what Lin Daoqiu did before, it can be said that his goal has been completely achieved.

Now he and Wen Jun are simply frightened birds, and they can't bear to be frightened at all.

"Hope your guess is right, otherwise we're really screwed."

Wen Jun couldn't figure out why, but fortunately, there was still plenty of time for them, so they planned to make a decision after a while.

…………

"Mr. Lin, I have good news for you. "1992" is progressing very smoothly, and the speed of film production has exceeded all of our expectations."

An overseas call made to Lin Daoqiu's office, and the person who called Lin Daoqiu was Richardson, the current president of MGM.

"From what you said, is it possible that "1992" will be released this year?"

Lin Daoqiu and Dykstra previously predicted that "1992" will be released in the second half of next year at the earliest, and if it can be brought forward, it will probably be around June.

If Richardson told Lin Daoqiu now that "1992" could be released at the end of this year, then Lin Daoqiu would be very surprised.

"That's impossible, but '1992' could be all done in February."

"You mean, "1992" can be released in March or April?"

Lin Daoqiu did not expect the progress of "1992" to be so rapid, several months faster than he had expected.

"This is still proud of the efforts of Dykstra and his new team, which makes "1992" have rapid progress."

Dykstra had previously recruited staff for new special effects technology from Hollywood. After a period of development, Magic Studio has now become the largest film special effects studio in Hollywood.

In addition, Lin Daoqiu has been increasing investment in Magic Studio over the years, which is why the special effects technology of Magic Studio has developed by leaps and bounds.

"If that's the case, I'll have to go and see for myself."

If "1992" can be released in March to April, both for New Oriental Pictures and Lin Daoqiu, it will be a major event that absolutely needs attention.

It just so happens that Lin Daoqiu is launching a strategy for Asian theaters, but the progress in some areas is still very slow.

When "1992" sweeps the world, I believe those potential partners will agree to cooperate with New Oriental and join his Asian theater chain.

"Mr. Lin hasn't been to MGM for a long time, and this year's "007" is almost finished shooting, don't you really plan to come and see it?"

For MGM, "1992" is of course the company's top priority.

But for them now, "007", which will be released in the Christmas schedule, is their most urgent job now.

I'm afraid what Richardson didn't know was that if he didn't make this call, then Lin Daoqiu probably wouldn't be able to remember the movie "007" for a while.

"Well, I get it, I'll be there in a while, I still have a lot of work to do in Xiangjiang, wait a while."
