Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2295 The script is hard to find
"I know that you all hope that I can produce a script for you to go to Hollywood to shoot, but I have too many things in my hands now, and I don't have time to write the script, but I will still find a way to provide assistance to you... ..."

"There are a lot of scripts that have not been filmed at MGM. When you go to LA, you can go to MGM to find Richardson. I will let him provide assistance to you."

Lin Daoqiu dismissed Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in one sentence. It's not that he didn't help each other, but he left the script matter directly to MGM.

Although the method proposed by Lin Daoqiu sounds pretty good, after all, MGM is one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, and the momentum in Hollywood has been very strong in recent years.

In their script library, I believe there are still many good scripts that have not been filmed yet, waiting to be discovered by others.

But the problem now is that in Sammo Hung's view, the script written by Lin Daoqiu is completely different from the script written by others.

If it wasn't for the script written by Lin Daoqiu, it is unknown whether it will be a big hit.

If that's the case, then I might as well continue to cooperate with Huang Bingyao. After all, after working with him for so many years, Huang Bingyao knows how to write a script that suits him and Yuen Biao.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, since you can't spare the time, we will find a way about the script."

Sammo Hung has realized that Lin Daoqiu is willing to let them go to Hollywood, but don't think about the script.

But this is acceptable to him, even if there is no script by Lin Daoqiu, Sammo Hung will go to Hollywood to try it out.

If it succeeds, he and Yuen Biao can stay in Hollywood to film, but if they fail, then they have no choice but to return to Xiangjiang to continue filming.

After drinking this tea, Sammo Hung had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. The joy was that he could finally bring Yuen Biao to Hollywood.

But the worry is that without Lin Daoqiu's great help, the possibility of success in Hollywood can be said to be very small.

"Brother, there is actually one thing that I have been reluctant to ask you, but now that Mr. Lin has agreed to let us develop in Hollywood, I think we should solve this problem first."

"what's up?"

Sammo Hung looked at Yuen Biao suspiciously, he didn't know what the other party didn't understand about this matter.

"Have you ever thought that when you go to Hollywood to make a movie, a movie costs at least 3000 to [-] million U.S. dollars, which is already over [-] million Hong Kong dollars. Who do you think will invest in us?"

Yuen Biao's question is very realistic. If the two of them recklessly go to Hollywood like this, will they be able to find someone who is willing to invest in filming for them?

Although they can be said to be very famous in Xiangjiang, they are basically no different from newcomers in Hollywood.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. In fact, I have already thought about it. Since Mr. Lin is not willing to write the script for us, then we can find other people to cooperate..."

When Sammo Hung said this, it seemed that he had already prepared the record, but he didn't tell Yuen Biao before.

Seeing Sammo Hung's confident expression, Yuen Biao realized at this moment that he, the big brother, had already prepared everything.

…………

"Sanmao, why come to me for tea when you have time?"

He Guanchang received a call from Sammo Hung inviting him to drink tea. It happened that there was nothing to do during the Spring Festival, so he happily went to the appointment.

After all, the box office of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" recently has been rising. Three days later, the box office has broken through the 500 million mark.

It can be said that if this momentum continues, it is only a matter of time before "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" breaks the box office of 8000 million.

Besides the local box office in Hong Kong, with the quality of this drama, it will definitely not have any problems sweeping Southeast Asia, and the box office can reach at least [-] million US dollars.

It is obviously impossible to say that Golden Harvest is not jealous of the performance of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but the problem is that they have no one, and the second is that they don't have a suitable script.

The reason why they invested 7000 million to make "Dragon and Tiger Gate" is also because Lin Daoqiu made "Fengyun" and Huang Yulang made "Chinese Heroes".

In the eyes of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, the trend of manga adaptation is just like special effects movies in the past. If they don't catch up quickly, they may not even have to drink soup by then.

It's not that Jiahe has no money, on the contrary, they actually have a lot of cash in their hands, but they have never been able to spend it.

Even though Golden Harvest is promoting Jet Li now, it didn't actually spend much money because it didn't find a good script.

Sammo Hung knew Golden Harvest's current predicament, that's why he invited Ho Guanchang out, hoping that they would invest in Hollywood for filming.

From Sammo Hung's point of view, if Golden Harvest is willing, they are willing to invest in a $5000 million movie, but the problem is that the script is not written by Lin Daoqiu, and it may be difficult to convince them.

"It's been a long time since I had tea with Mr. He. It just happens to be Chinese New Year, so I specially invited you out to catch up with each other."

Hearing what Sammo Hung said, He Guanchang immediately realized that something was wrong.

Who is Sammo Hung? He is the most famous movie star in Xiangjiang recently, not to mention that he still has a big brother in the Hong Kong film industry.

But he suddenly came to him, if it was really like what Sammo Hung said, if he was just looking for him to drink tea and chat, it would be fine, but He Guanchang didn't believe what Sammo Hung said at all.

After all, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were the ones who pulled Hong Jinbao together at the beginning. They have been working together for some years. How could he not know what Hong Jinbao was thinking.

It's just that the box office performance of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is so good that it will definitely continue to make sequels this year.

If Sammo Hung wants to start a movie, he just needs to talk to Lin Daoqiu. He Guanchang believes that with Lin Daoqiu's generosity, it is absolutely impossible for Sammo Hung to come to a point where there is no filming.

"Really? It's true that we haven't had tea together for a long time. Sanmao has been in the limelight recently. A "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" broke the box office of 500 million in just three days. It's really gratifying Congratulations."

Hearing what He Guanchang said, Sammo Hung just smiled and shook his hands. Although it seemed that he was smiling, he was not as happy as He Guanchang imagined.

"Could it be that Sammo Hung and Lin Daoqiu fell out? Or something went wrong?"

Seeing Sammo Hung's reaction, this thought popped into He Guanchang's mind.

If this is the case, then this is an opportunity for him to win over Sammo Hung, but what is going on needs to be clarified first.
