Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2129 The script is yellow
"Why are you free to come and see me today?"

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao went to New Oriental to look for Lin Daoqiu together a few days later.

The filming of "The True Colors of a Man" is still going on, and it stands to reason that these two people should be filming on the set.

"We don't have a part in the show today, so I came to Mr. Lin to talk about us today."

Lin Daoqiu said with a smile.

"What's the matter with you two, but it's okay to say, everyone is your own, so you are welcome."

Originally, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao couldn't make up their minds, they didn't know what kind of reaction the other party would have after they told Lin Daoqiu about that matter.

But they have been filming in Xiangjiang for so many years, and they have already got what they should get. It can be said that they have reached the pinnacle of their careers.

If the filming continues, it will be nothing more than that, so the two of them came up with the idea of ​​working hard in Hollywood.

Especially Jackie Chan, relying on Lin Daoqiu to make a name for himself in Hollywood, their brothers and sisters naturally want to give it a try besides being envious.

After all, they think that they are not much different from Jackie Chan. What he can do, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao can also do, there is no reason why they should be worse than him.

"Mr. Lin, it's actually like this. The two of us have been filming in Xiangjiang for so many years. Apart from acting once in "The Mummy" that year, we haven't had any chance so far..."

"If possible, we hope to go to Hollywood after filming "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "The True Colors of a Man."

Lin Daoqiu nodded as he listened. It is actually quite normal for Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao to have such thoughts, and he didn't think there was anything strange about it.

After all, Jackie Chan is shining brightly in Hollywood, it's impossible for them as brothers and sisters to see it without a little idea.

Besides, everyone was taught by the same master, and Sammo Hung came out to film earlier than them and became popular earlier than them. It is only natural to want to have greater development.

But Lin Daoqiu knew very well that the reason why Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had such ideas was completely influenced by Jackie Chan.

They feel that they are the same type of actor as Jackie Chan. If he can succeed in Hollywood, then he can too.

But the problem is that such things as audience popularity are uncertain. Even if some people develop well in Xiangjiang, they can only play tricks in Hollywood.

It's not that Lin Daoqiu doesn't want them to develop in Hollywood, but in his opinion, if the two of them rush over without getting a very good script, I'm afraid they will collide head-on at that time.

"I can understand your thinking, but I'm really not sure whether it will become popular in Hollywood. Aaron is just an exception."

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao felt that Lin Daoqiu's words were just an excuse. In their view, as long as Lin Daoqiu was willing to write a few scripts for them, Hollywood would not be meeting gods and gods, meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas.

"Mr. Lin, we want to give it a try, and I hope you can give us a chance."

Yuen Biao looked at Lin Daoqiu sincerely. Before he came, he had discussed with Sammo Hung that he must get Lin Daoqiu's script before he could go to Hollywood. Otherwise, they would have gone to search for a film by themselves and probably would not have achieved any results. .

Facing Yuen Biao's plea, Lin Daoqiu couldn't think of any good script that would suit them for a while.

If Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were to be used as the leading roles, it would be difficult for Hollywood audiences to buy it. After all, it would be very difficult for Hollywood audiences to rely solely on Chinese faces as leading roles and sell well.

It's okay if it's just one person, but Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao add up to two people, which more than doubles the difficulty.

"I have no objection to you going to Hollywood to develop. If necessary, I will ask MGM to provide assistance to you, but as for the script, I am afraid that you have to figure out a way by yourself."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, it was tantamount to rejecting their request.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao couldn't help showing frustrated expressions on their faces after listening to it, because without Lin Daoqiu's script, it would be impossible for them to get ahead in Hollywood.

A medium-produced movie in Hollywood costs at least 1 million Hong Kong dollars or [-] million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is bigger, it will cost a few hundred million more Hong Kong dollars.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't write the script himself, then Lin Daoqiu would be willing to invest only if the script was directed or written by a famous director or screenwriter.

If he was asked to invest 5000 million US dollars for Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao to make an action movie in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu felt that it would be difficult to recover the cost.

"In that case, let's go back and discuss it."

Lin Daoqiu has already said this, and it is impossible for Sammo Hung and the others to force the other party to write a script for them.

After getting out of New Oriental, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao got into the car without saying a word.

Although Lin Daoqiu's attitude is to support their development in Hollywood, he does not intend to give them a script, which is to let them go to Hollywood to work hard.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is tantamount to watching them go to Hollywood to waste time.

"Mr. Lin... seems unwilling to let us develop in Hollywood."

After Yuan Biao pondered for a long time, he suddenly said this sentence.

After hearing this, Sammo Hung just turned his head and looked at the other party, but this time he didn't blame Yuen Biao or tell him not to talk nonsense.

From this point of view, Sammo Hung seemed to agree with Yuen Biao's words.

"Brother, what should we do now? Is this the way to go?"

Originally, their ambitions had been ignited, and they planned to work hard in Hollywood, but now without Lin Daoqiu's script, this has greatly compromised their previous plan.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that without Lin Daoqiu's script, they would be helpless in Hollywood.

"Actually speaking, we should be satisfied with the movies we have made for so many years relying on Mr. Lin. As a human being, you can't promote Mi En to Mi En. It is friendship for Mr. Lin to help us, and it is reasonable not to help us."

Although Sammo Hung was very disappointed, he did not forget the scripts he got from Lin Daoqiu over the years.

It's just because the other party didn't give them a script this time to hold grudges against Lin Daoqiu, then they would have failed in life.

"Eldest brother is right, I am too extreme, I should review it carefully."

Yuen Biao thought about it and felt that Sammo Hung was right.

"Let's see again. If there is really no other way then, we have no choice but to go to Hollywood to find opportunities."

Sammo Hung has no good solution now, except to wait and see, he really can't think of anyone who can help them at this time.
