Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 238 Very Perfunctory Script
"Miss Modern?"

On the third day, Brigitte Lin received the script from Golden Harvest.
As He Guanchang said, this is indeed a funny movie.

However, after reading the script, she always felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what went wrong.

"I think this drama was not originally called "Miss Modern", it should be called "Mr. Modern" or something like that."

Lin Daoqiu was flipping through the script at this time.

He hadn't even heard of this play before, probably it was a script that Jiahe took out from some warehouse.

This should have been written while following the trend of modern comedies, but the quality was too poor, so Golden Harvest didn't make it in the end.

"Ah? Is that really the case?"

Brigitte Lin felt baffled, since Golden Harvest wanted to ask her to make a movie, why did she do this?This really made her a little confused.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't care about these things, and it seemed that he was very interested in this script.

"Then do you think I should take this film?"

Brigitte Lin couldn't figure it out either, so she had no choice but to ask Lin Daoqiu for help, hoping that the other party could give her an idea.

"If it's this script, then I advise you not to act it."

The reason why this drama was not filmed was because the plot was mechanically based, and the logic did not make sense at all, and some funny plots were forcibly added, even if it was filmed, it would be a waste of time.

Lin Daoqiu was very sure that Zou Wenhuai's purpose in doing this was to help him revise it after reading it, and even help Brigitte Lin write a script.

The other party's calculations were quite loud, but the most critical part of this question was, why did Brigitte Lin decide to accept Golden Harvest's movie?
After closing the script, Lin Daoqiu had more or less guessed what Zou Wenhuai was thinking.

I am afraid that he is not confident, but is testing his attitude towards Jiahe.

Rather than inviting Lin Qingxia to act in a movie, it is better to say that he is using this method to test whether he will cooperate with Jiahe.

After all, now I help Run Run Shaw film "Mission Impossible".

With such a large investment in this film, if it wins a super high box office by then, Run Run Shaw will definitely try his best to let himself continue to cooperate with Shaw Brothers.

Besides Shaw Brothers, there is also Lei Juekun who is eyeing him. I believe Zou Wenhuai has seen the news that he and Lei Juekun met at the beginning.

So he couldn't sit still anymore, and began to use this method to test the relationship between himself and Jiahe.

Whether they will continue to cooperate, or will they stop at "Five Lucky Stars".

But these are just Lin Daoqiu's guesses after all, maybe Zou Wenhuai really just borrowed the name of inviting Brigitte Lin to help him write the script.

"In this case, then... then I will call Mr. He later and find a reason to refuse him."

If it was in the past, Brigitte Lin would not have thought so much, she might have agreed to take this drama out of sympathy.

But it's different now, with Lin Daoqiu around, she doesn't need to worry about these things.

"Reject? Why refuse?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head and said, "Let me make this call, or Mr. He will be disappointed."

Lin Qingxia didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu meant, didn't he say that the script was not good?Why did you suddenly change your mind now?

Seeing Brigitte Lin looking at him full of doubts, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to explain this matter to her.

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Brigitte Lin realized that He Guanchang and the others were planning this idea.

"How could they do this? They want to take advantage of my fame and want you to write a script. It's really greedy."

After the filming of Jiahe's movie is finished, it is estimated that "Mission Impossible" will also be released.

At that time, Brigitte Lin's popularity in Xiangjiang will definitely exceed how many times it is now.

It can be said that asking her to make a movie now is tantamount to earning money from scratch, so it is actually normal for Golden Harvest to have such thoughts.

In Xiangjiang, there are many smart people. Once a certain type of movie suddenly wins a high box office, a group of movies that follow suit will appear immediately.

If you talk to them about art or the quality of movies, no one will pay attention to you. Only the box office is the most important thing to them.

"There are only a few film studios that can afford you in the future, and Golden Harvest is one of them. It's not a bad thing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with them."

"You're right, then you can figure it out, I'll listen to you anyway."

Brigitte Brigitte didn't know what changes would happen to Xiangjiang's movie structure in the future, but she didn't have the habit of making decisions, so she left everything to Lin Daoqiu.

Although "Mission Impossible" may bring a lot of income to Shaw Brothers, Lin Daoqiu has no intention of letting Shaw Brothers continue to exist.

After all, the system of Shaw Brothers' large studio has come to an end, and now it can be said that Shaw Brothers has reached the end of its glory, and the end will only happen in the past few years.

At that time, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat-wah will naturally shift their focus to TVB. As for Shaw Brothers Cinemas, they will take over by themselves.

However, neither Lin Daoqiu nor anyone mentioned this matter. After all, it is impossible to win Shaw Cinemas without hundreds of millions.

And if uncle Liu knew that he had this idea, he didn't know what he would think.

…………

When he received Lin Daoqiu's call, He Guanchang was actually ready to be rejected by the other party.

Because that "Miss Modern" was indeed found out of the warehouse by them.

Moreover, the original name of this play was not "Miss Modern". It was Zou Wenhuai who asked the screenwriter to remake this play a little bit.

As for the rote and illogical places in it, it is because the changes are too urgent.

Moreover, this movie was originally a male-dominated movie, but now it is suddenly changed to a female starring role, unless it is rewritten.

Otherwise, there will definitely be many places in it that will make people feel very strange.

"If Mr. He has time, why not come out and have a cup of tea."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just asked He Guanchang out for tea.

"It is my honor to invite Mr. Lin to drink tea."

Although He Guanchang didn't know why Lin Daoqiu suddenly invited him to drink tea, it was a good signal.

If the other party wants to refuse, just make up any reason, and now Jiahe has nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu.

After all, Shaw Brothers added a golden princess to make Jiahe big enough.

If Lin Daoqiu is allowed to help Princess Jin make a few films at this time, it will definitely help Lei Juekun attract a lot of audiences, and then Jiahe will definitely be greatly affected.

So now we must have a good relationship with Lin Daoqiu, after all, the initiative is no longer in their hands.

And when he reported this matter to Zou Wenhuai, the other party finally showed a happy smile on his face.

"If he is willing to cooperate with us, try to rely on big productions. We Golden Harvest can afford tens of millions."
