Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 245 A 1 million yuan sci-fi film?

All 130 of its theaters were fully open, and the first day of "Mission Impossible" hit [-] million.

It was able to get such a box office because of the full support of Run Run Shaw.

All theaters under Shaw Cinemas broadcast "Mission Impossible" more than [-]% of the time.

But even so, many viewers still couldn't buy tickets, and some people didn't think it was enough after watching it once, so they ran to continue queuing.

According to the development of this trend, it is definitely no problem for this drama to break through 1000 million, but after two weeks, the box office will stop at more than [-] million at most.

This is basically consistent with the guesses of Lin Zhengying and Wu Siyuan. It seems that Lin Daoqiu's previous guess of 2000 million should not be realized.

However, Lin Daoqiu doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about the box office of "Mission Impossible".

Because the capacity of Shaw Cinemas is just like this, if the price of movie tickets remains the same, it is basically delusional to want to get more box office.

But Lin Daoqiu doesn't seem to be too worried about breaking the 2000 million box office record. He believes that the stamina of this film is enough for Shaw Brothers to screen it for an extra week.

It's just that he hasn't mentioned this matter to Run Run Shaw yet. He has to wait for a while to see if the stamina is the same as he guessed.

On this day, Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to come to Golden Harvest to find Zou Wenhuai, intending to talk to him about science fiction movies.

"Mr. Lin is a rare visitor, please take a seat."

Following He Guanchang into Zou Wenhuai's office, it seemed that Zou Wenhuai welcomed Lin Daoqiu very much.

After all, he is now the most profitable person in Xiangjiang's movies, and any movie from him can be a big success.

It would be much easier to cooperate with such a person, and Jiahe had already tasted a lot of sweetness from Lin Daoqiu before.

And if Lin Daoqiu can be brought to Jiahe's side, there is no need to worry that he will help Princess Jin.

"Mr. Zou, you're being polite. In fact, I'm here today to talk about the new film I'm cooperating with Golden Harvest."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu sat down, he went straight to the point. After all, his purpose of coming here is actually very simple, that is, to cooperate with the other party in a sci-fi movie.

But Zou Wenhuai doesn't know this yet. In his opinion, "Mission Impossible" has such a good momentum, Lin Daoqiu should make a similar movie.

Although it is unlikely that Brigitte Brigitte will be the leading actor, there are so many female stars in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and with Golden Harvest's reputation, there should be no one that cannot be invited.

Lin Daoqiu can turn Lin Qingxia into a popular martial arts actress in Hong Kong within a few months. I believe that as long as he is given some time, he can also cultivate a second female fighter.

"Mr. Lin has always been very happy to cooperate with us at Golden Harvest. I believe there will be no problems this time. No matter what Mr. Lin asks, feel free to ask. Golden Harvest will definitely support you with all our strength."

Zou Wenhuai made a lot of promises without even asking Lin Daoqiu what he wanted to shoot. It seems that the other party's recent situation is not very good, probably because of Princess Jin's relationship.

"Thank you, Mr. Zou. The film I want to make this time will not have a small investment, and it may take a long time. Therefore, I have to inform Mr. Zou of the situation before we cooperate."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai still didn't think too much about it, because in his opinion, large investment and long shooting time are not a big problem, as long as it can make money.

And looking at Lin Daoqiu's appearance, it seems that he intends to make a big hit with this movie. Could it be that he also wants to use this movie to enter Hollywood?
If this is the case, then Zou Wenhuai will be even happier. He even plans to let Jackie Chan be the protagonist, but Lin Daoqiu has to be consulted first.

"No problem, with Mr. Lin's golden signboard here, there is nothing Golden Harvest can't trust."

Zou Wenhuai waved his hand vigorously, it seems that he can't wait to sign the contract with Lin Daoqiu now.

But He Guanchang next to him is very calm, because now Lin Daoqiu doesn't know what movie he is going to make, so it seems that it is not a good thing to rush to agree to the other party.

"What kind of movie is Mr. Lin going to make this time?"

When He Guanchang asked such a question, Zou Wenhuai calmed down a little.

"I plan to cooperate with Golden Harvest in a sci-fi movie this time."

It was fine if Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, as soon as he finished speaking, both Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had shocked expressions on their faces.

We must know that Xiangjiang makes money in all types of movies, but only science fiction movies have always been an area that Golden Harvest dared not touch.

Run Run Shaw had stumbled twice in sci-fi movies before, and now the other party does not dare to make such movies easily.

Zou Wenhuai, who was previously enthusiastic, suddenly seemed to have calmed down.

Even the smile on He Guanchang's face became awkward, at least compared to before, it made people feel that they suddenly became rational.

"I wonder how much Mr. Lin plans to spend on this film?"

He Guanchang wanted to know how much Lin Daoqiu planned to spend to make this sci-fi movie.

A few years ago, Run Run Shaw threw tens of millions into "The Orangutan King", and in the end he lost a lot of money.

If Lin Daoqiu plans to spend 2000 million to make a sci-fi movie, then Zou Wenhuai may consider cooperating with him.

But what Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang didn't expect was that the number Lin Daoqiu said next shocked them all.

"If you want to make a good sci-fi movie, it is very difficult to do it with the current technology, so it takes a lot of time and money to make it. I roughly estimate that the budget of this movie should reach [-] million in the end."

In Xiangjiang, spending [-] million yuan to make a movie, Zou Wenhuai has never done this kind of thing, and not only him, but even Run Run Shaw has never done it.

This is too exaggerated. A movie costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Is this making a movie or burning money?

You must know that this is Xiangjiang, not Hollywood, and Golden Harvest's most profitable films before were comedy movies and kung fu movies with low cost.

Now they are suddenly asked to invest 1 million yuan to make a science fiction film, which is simply a joke to Zou Wenhuai.

"Mr. Lin is right, but spending 1 million yuan to make a movie, and it's a sci-fi movie, isn't it a bit too risky?"

In fact, after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai had given up the idea of ​​cooperating with him. After all, the risk was not so great.

If possible, Zou Wenhuai still hopes that Lin Daoqiu will make some comedy films, or action films like "Mission Impossible".

After all, these themes are what Lin Daoqiu is really good at, and the amount spent will not be so exaggerated.

"It's impossible to make a good movie without burning money. Perhaps Mr. Zou hasn't realized it yet, but I believe you will realize it in a short time."

"I need to seriously consider this matter and give Mr. Lin an answer in a few days."

Although Zou Wenhuai said so, in fact, he has already denied this cooperation in his heart.
