Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 235 The poster outside the theater
It will take at least a few months for "Mission Impossible" to be released in Hollywood, and this is still for the sake of Run Run Shaw.

If it is someone else, then you can go back and wait for the news slowly, at least within a year and a half is impossible.

But there is another way, that is to take the movie to the United States to promote it.

In addition to several large theaters, there are also some small theaters operating in Chinese communities.

If you can't get the support of those film companies, you can also try this road.

But the premise is to find someone to help, otherwise, it will be wandering around like a headless chicken.

But Lin Daoqiu has neither interest nor time to do such a thing.

It's not good for him to use this time to do something, but to waste his time, and even if it is done, it will have little effect.

If you want to eat pork, there is no need to learn how to butcher pigs, after all, he is not so free yet.

While a U.S. release is still in the works, that doesn't stop "Mission Impossible" from being released elsewhere.

For Lin Daoqiu's "Mission Impossible", many people in the film circle have actually been paying attention.

But because Lin Daoqiu has done a good job of keeping secrets, it is difficult for the outside world to know the progress of this drama.

It wasn't until mid-June that a movie poster suddenly hung up outside one of the leading theaters of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and the mystery of the movie was slowly revealed.

However, there is only a woman's back on this poster, and the rest are just some words.

Title: "Mission Impossible", Producer: Run Run Shaw, Director: Yuan Heping, Screenwriter: Lin Daoqiu.

Starring: Lin Qingxia, Guo Youhua, Jiang David.

Other than that, there is no extra information, not even the release time of the movie on the poster.

After seeing this poster, many viewers who watched the movie asked the theater when the movie would be released.

The conductor was told to reply to the guests who came to ask in a unified way, saying that the show will be released in the near future.

But they are not sure when this near future will be, it may be tomorrow, or next week, or even next month.

"Let the crew go on "Happy Tonight" promotion?"

This day, Lin Daoqiu was invited out for tea by Fang Yathua, and the other party suggested that Lin Qingxia should appear on "Happy Tonight" to promote it.

In the past, when Shaw Brothers' movies were about to be released, they usually chose to use this method for publicity, and the effect was pretty good.

So this time, Fang Yihua naturally thought of letting Lin Qingxia and Guo Youhua participate in "Happy Tonight".

"At that time, Qingxia can come on stage and sing a song. After all, she is the protagonist of this play, and this will be very helpful for her future development in Xiangjiang."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't know whether Fang Yathua's words came from his heart, but if Brigitte Lin sings on TVB, it should attract a lot of viewers.

But Lin Daoqiu really couldn't agree to Fang Yathua on this matter right away, because he had to go back and ask Brigitte Lin for her opinion.

"Leave this matter aside for the time being. I proposed to use 200 million yuan as a publicity fee before. I wonder how Miss Fang thinks about it?"

Originally, Fang Yihua was in a good mood, but when she heard Lin Daoqiu mentioning this matter, Fang Yihua frowned slightly.

Fang Yihua was stunned when he heard Lin Daoqiu proposed to take 200 million as promotional fees.

According to her thinking, it is almost enough to get 20 yuan, and even if you save a province, 10 yuan can be done.

From the beginning to the end, Fang Yihua never thought that the promotional fee for a play was as high as 200 million.

"Mr. Lin, this drama has already exceeded the budget by 500 million, and now we need to use another 200 million to promote it. This seems to be different from what we agreed on before."

After all, Fang Yihua was still reluctant to use this money to publicize, after all, 200 million is not a small sum.

"Miss Fang is worrying too much. Why don't I pay for the super-worthy 500 million and 200 million publicity fees, but the box office share needs to be revised."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had already guessed that it would be very difficult for Fang Yihua to pay the publicity fee, so he decided to pay the money himself.

Now that Lin Daoqiu is willing to pay the money, Fang Yihua should be very happy, but when it comes to revising the box office share, this makes her hesitate.

"I don't know how much box office revenue Mr. Lin plans to exchange for the 700 million?"

It was agreed before that it was a [-]/[-] split, but in fact it was the Shaw Brothers who took advantage.

After all, Lin Daoqiu is not only responsible for the pre-shooting work, but also responsible for the whole process of post-production, which can be said to be both money and effort.

Under such circumstances, he only got half of the box office share.

"Give me one achievement."

Lin Daoqiu stretched out a finger to Fang Yathua, intending to exchange 700 million Hong Kong dollars for [-]% of the box office share, and it was Fang Yathua who made the money.

But now that the filming of the movie has been finished, and the money is about to be collected, [-]% of the box office can no longer be calculated with the previous value.

In addition, Lin Daoqiu attached so much importance to this drama, and Karls was optimistic about it at the previous film screening.

For these alone, the 700% box office share of this movie is far more than [-] million.

"Forget it, since it was agreed to be half of each person, we can't break our promise. The 500 million overspend was paid by Mr. Lin in advance, plus the 200 million publicity fee, I will write a check for 350 million to you."

Fang Yihua didn't want to be taken advantage of by Lin Daoqiu. Although she felt sorry for paying the money, if she didn't pay it, she might lose even more.

"Since Miss Fang has said so, then do as you say."

Lin Daoqiu has no objection to this, since the other party is willing to pay the money, he can't stop him.

…………

"Let me sing on "Happy Tonight"?"

Brigitte Lin obviously didn't think about it, after all, she had never sung on stage in Xiangjiang before.

And this time she was going to sing on TV, which made Brigitte Lin very worried.

"If you feel embarrassed, forget it, and I will explain it to you then."

Lin Daoqiu never thought that Brigitte Brigitte must be promoted in "Happy Tonight", mainly because of her own wishes.

In fact, Brigitte Lin really didn't want to go if she could, because she hadn't received professional singing training, and she was worried that she would make a fool of herself and be laughed at by others.

"Is it really possible? There will be no problem."

Brigitte Lin looked at Lin Daoqiu cautiously, she was worried that her refusal would cause unnecessary trouble.

"If there is any problem, don't worry, I promise that no one will force you to do what you don't want to do in the future."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Brigitte Lin was stunned for a moment, because no one had ever said such a thing to her.

Then she just hummed, and silently rested her head on Lin Daoqiu's shoulder.

At this time Brigitte Lin felt a warm feeling in her heart, which made her feel very solid and safe.
