Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2100 Want to make this movie?
The news about Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin at the airport continued for a few more days, but after they left Xiangjiang, the heat of this matter dropped significantly.

No one is in Xiangjiang, so it's not interesting to continue to stir up news. Those readers are obviously tired of seeing this kind of news every day, and there is no new progress.

So those reporters could only find other materials, and this scandal was quickly forgotten.

After leaving Xiangjiang, Brigitte Lin and Lin Daoqiu were tired of being together every day, perhaps because Xiao Biesheng was newly married, the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger.

It was said to be filming, but this was Lin Daoqiu's temporary idea, so the preparations had to be done first, which happened to give Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin time to relax.

Sitting on the beach, the two of them are basking in the sun comfortably. It's rare for the two of them to relax completely without worrying about being followed by the paparazzi. It's so cool.

The preparatory work still needs two weeks, and the efficiency of foreign countries is naturally not as good as Xiangjiang.

If this matter is placed in Xiangjiang, it can be done in a week.

But for Lin Daoqiu, filming abroad is basically a relaxing itinerary, and he is not in a hurry to finish filming "Tomb Raider" anytime soon.

After all, there is still a long time before the Christmas schedule, even if the time for post-production is added, it is completely in time.

In addition to "Tomb Raider 2", this year MGM has another movie in preparation.

That was one of MGM's previous prides, "007."

The current protagonist of this series is Pierce Brosnan, who was appointed by Lin Daoqiu to play the role at that time. With the image of James Bond successfully portrayed in "007", he is now regarded as a newcomer in Hollywood.

When he received a call from Richardson, Lin Daoqiu was enjoying afternoon tea on the balcony of the hotel.

"I received a good script, and I want to adapt this script into "007". What do you think?"

Although the general big production Richardson can make his own decisions and does not need to report to Lin Daoqiu.

But "007" is not a movie in the ordinary sense in MGM, so Richardson felt that it was necessary to report this matter to Lin Daoqiu.

"Tell me the story briefly."

Lin Daoqiu actually doesn't have much interest in "007". Although compared with the previous box office, the latest episode of "007" has had a significant increase, but the box office results are still too low.

In addition, the global box office revenue is only about 007 million U.S. dollars. Fortunately, the video tape market is quite profitable, so Lin Daoqiu did not completely delegate "[-]" to Richardson.

After listening to the plot that Richardson told himself, Lin Daoqiu seemed to feel that this kind of filming was unnecessary at all, and it was a bit incompatible with "Tomb Raider".

It's the same gunfight plus action scenes, the only difference is the background of the story, so it will inevitably make the audience feel a little tired of this kind of film.

For example, Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" is an example.

As if wanting to maintain his rising momentum in Hollywood, Jackie Chan has opened a new movie in Hollywood this year, which is the movie "The Brave Detective" that did not exist in the previous life. It is expected that this movie will be released next year.

In this "The Brave Detective", Jackie Chan plays a warm-hearted policeman.

One day, a young man ran into a crime scene by accident and became the only witness on the scene. Although he escaped by chance, he was recognized by the other party.

Afterwards, those criminals came to the door to get rid of the young man, and Jackie Chan was ordered to come to protect him, and a series of things happened after that.

Jackie Chan originally wanted to go to Lin Daoqiu to review the script for him, but Lin Daoqiu was in Xiangjiang at that time and had no time to review the script for Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan himself was in a hurry to start the movie, so none of this "The Brave Detective" was entirely Jackie Chan's movie.

In his opinion, he has been working hard in Hollywood for a while, and it is impossible to ask Lin Daoqiu for help in every movie, otherwise he will always have to rely on Lin Daoqiu for food.

This time, the production cost of "The Brave Detective" was as high as 3000 million. Jackie Chan asked Golden Harvest and MGM to invest in the filming together.

Richardson once asked Lin Daoqiu for his opinion on the movie "The Brave Detective", but Lin Daoqiu had no opinion on it, and let Richardson make his own decision, so this "The Brave Police" came out. Explore".

"The script you just mentioned is okay if it is filmed alone, but if you want to adapt it to the story of "007", forget it. This script is a bit different from "Tomb Raider". I am worried that the audience will have a taste. fatigue."

Since Lin Daoqiu vetoed it, Richardson would not continue to persist.

"I can write the script of "007" by myself. Pierce Brosnan is the leading actor. As for other candidates, I will tell you when the time comes. In addition, the director should talk to the director of "Scarface". "

"You mean Brian De Palma?"

Richardson did not expect Lin Daoqiu to find this person to direct "007", because this director is better at thrillers and dramas.

If Lin Daoqiu asked him to shoot "Human Purge Project", then Richardson felt that this was very suitable.

"Don't be so surprised. Mr. Palma is a good filmmaker. If he can be invited to MGM, then we will have many more high-quality thrillers and dramas."

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Richardson felt that since the other party knew about Parma, he had nothing to worry about.

And judging from their achievements in movies, none of the people in MGM can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Daoqiu, and there is not even anyone who chases Lin Daoqiu.

Therefore, his speech on movies can be said to be the most authoritative and the most undeniable. After all, Lin Daoqiu is the boss of MGM.

"This time "007" will be filmed in Xiangjiang, are you interested in being a Bond girl?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Lin Qingxia beside him and asked with a smile.

Brigitte Lin hesitated a little at first, but then she shook her head directly.

It is impossible for Brigitte Lin to have watched the classic film "007", and one of the big selling points of the "007" series is the emotional scene between James Bond and the Bond girl.

Lin Qingxia didn't want to have that kind of aggressive action with the other party in the film, and she believed that Lin Daoqiu would definitely not be able to bear it either.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu just said it casually, even if Lin Qingxia was allowed to participate in the performance, she would not be allowed to play a Bond girl.

After all, he doesn't want his woman to kiss other men on the big screen, he can't stand it.
