Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 240 Premiere
Originally, Lin Daoqiu planned to hold a premiere and let TVB be responsible for the broadcast.

But because there are too few stars in this drama, there are only three people named Lin Qingxia, Guo Youhua and Jiang David.

So Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to put aside the idea of ​​holding the premiere for the time being, and wait until the next time he shoots an all-star movie, and do it well.

However, since it is a big production with an investment of more than 4000 million, the premiere will naturally not be held at the midnight show.

This time, Lin Daoqiu sent out invitations, inviting well-known celebrities in the Xiangjiang film circle, media professionals, and reporters from various newspapers to watch the movie.

As for the venue for the premiere, Lin Daoqiu chose Lee Theater in Causeway Bay.

This Lee Theater is owned by the Lee family, and the venue for the first Miss Xiangjiang finals was chosen at the Lee Theater.

Even after that, Miss Xiangjiang's finals are usually held here.

When it was completed in 1925, Hu Die, the first Chinese movie queen, was among the people who came to tailor it.

Lin Daoqiu played the premiere of the movie here because the place is big enough and famous enough.

Although there is no way to do a red carpet session, there are quite a few filmmakers who came to watch the premiere today.

For example, under Shaw Brothers, many movie stars came to join in, including Ti Lung, Fu Sheng, Liu Jialiang, Chen Guantai and others.

Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Lin Zhengying also received an invitation from Lin Daoqiu.

After obtaining He Guanchang's permission, Sammo Hung and others dared to attend the premiere.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations."

Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa walked over together.

"Everyone is too polite, please forgive me for not greeting well."

The last time I saw Sammo Hung was when I was filming "Five Lucky Stars", it seemed that he was no different from before.

However, Lin Daoqiu remembered that the box office of "The Miscellaneous Boy" was not satisfactory, and I am afraid that the pressure on Yuen Biao recently cannot be said to be so small.

"Mr. Lin, Sixth Uncle said that this movie will be shot with an investment of 4000 million yuan. Did it really cost that much money?"

Zhong Fa was very curious about this, not only him, but also Sammo Hung and others wanted to know.

What kind of movie actually needs to spend 4000 million to make it, which is simply unimaginable now.

"Accurately speaking, the film cost a total of 5000 million, because it was over budget at the end of filming."

Hearing this, Sammo Hung and others unconsciously opened their eyes wide. At first they thought that 4000 million was already scary, but they didn't expect that they ended up exceeding the budget by 1000 million.

For them, making a movie with several million is already an exaggeration, but Lin Daoqiu unexpectedly added a zero to the end.

Yuen Biao and the others remembered that last year Lin Daoqiu only spent about 20 yuan on the filming of "Master Qian", and now only one year has passed.

"There is no need for everyone to be so surprised. Because this movie is aimed at Hollywood, it will definitely cost a lot of money."

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao originally thought of trying to make such a big production, but they really couldn't afford it if it hit the street.

So they can only think about such things, and Lin Daoqiu really dares to do this.

When sending Hong Jinbao and others away, Yuen Biao suddenly looked back at Lin Daoqiu, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"A Biao, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Lin Daoqiu thought about it, and decided to call Yuan Biao over.

Sammo Hung and the others didn't know what Lin Daoqiu wanted to say to Yuen Biao, so they had no choice but to go first.

"Mr. Lin..."

Just as Lin Daoqiu guessed, Yuen Biao didn't get any good box office for several plays.

Jackie Chan has now become Golden Harvest's leading actor in Hollywood, so how could he not be in a hurry.

"Are you worried that Golden Harvest will give up on you because the box office is not very good after a few movies come out?"

In fact, it is not enough to give up, but Golden Harvest will put most of its resources on Jackie Chan.

If Yuen Biao and the others wanted to make a big production, they would probably have to figure out their own way.

Yuan Biao did not expect that Lin Daoqiu guessed what was on his mind all at once, he first lowered his head, and then nodded to admit it.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about that."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Yuan Biao raise his head immediately, but his eyes were full of doubts.

In fact, not only Yuen Biao, but even Sammo Hung was worried that if the movie he made hits the street, he would lose Golden Harvest's support.

Maybe it's because they have lived through many years of hard times before, so it can be said that they are already poor and frightened.

Moreover, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are the kind of people who don't know how to negotiate the price, they pay as much as they want.

Sometimes they are directors, martial artists, and leading actors, and they only get a share of the money. It can be said that they are really losing money.

"Now Xiangjiang's film world is so good, do you know what is missing?"

Yuen Biao didn't know this, he just shook his head.

"What's lacking are good scripts and good actors. Filmmakers from other places are looking for people to make movies with money. You and brother Hong are the top martial arts stars in Hong Kong. I can't think of anything you need to be nervous about."

Yuen Biao was absorbing what Lin Daoqiu said bit by bit. The more he listened, the more he felt that what Lin Daoqiu said was very reasonable.

"You have to hold the initiative in your own hands."

"Hold the initiative in your own hands?"

Lin Daoqiu's words made Yuen Biao very confused. If he was asked to film or design difficult martial arts moves, this would not be a problem for him at all.

But if you let him think about these things, it can be said that it is a bit embarrassing for him.

"Now there are three cinemas in Xiangjiang, and Lei Juekun is coming aggressively. What he lacks are good actors and good movies."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Yuen Biao immediately opened his eyes wide. He thought that the other party wanted him to switch to Princess Jin.

But Jiahe treated him very well, Yuen Biao really didn't think about transferring to Princess Jin.

Lin Daoqiu saw Yuen Biao's surprised expression, and knew that he must have misunderstood what he said.

"I didn't let you transfer to Princess Jin, I just want you and Brother Hong to set up an independent production company."

It turned out that Lin Daoqiu did not let himself switch to Princess Jin, and Yuan Biao was relieved to hear this.

In fact, Sammo Hung had told him before that he wanted to set up his own company, but after talking to Zou Wenhuai, the other party kept procrastinating.

"Eldest senior brother once talked about this matter with Mr. Zou, but there was no further information after that."

In fact, it wasn't that Sammo Hung didn't want to set up a film company, but because Zou Wenhuai didn't allow it, so this matter couldn't be done at all.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. The situation is different, and the results will be different. Do you think I will lie to you?"

Lin Daoqiu kept a straight face on purpose, as if he was not very happy.

Yuen Biao quickly shook his head, saying that Lin Daoqiu is his great benefactor. Although they had a misunderstanding before, it has been resolved now.

It can be said that Yuan Biao still attaches great importance to what Lin Daoqiu said.
