Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 378
For Langmeyer, one month's preparatory work for the film was not enough. Lin Daoqiu actually filmed "Home Alone" in just one month?
He originally thought that Lin Daoqiu's schedule would be next year's Christmas, but he never expected that the other party was talking about this year.

Because of inertial thinking, Langmeyer has not confirmed this matter with the other party before, because in his opinion, it is simply nonsense to make a standard movie in a month.

"Lin, are you kidding me? Are you sure the movie is really finished? Today is not April Fool's Day."

Langmeyer would rather that Lin Daoqiu just came to joke with him. Maybe the other party came to see him because he needed to go back to Los Angeles for something. Yes, it must be like this.

After muttering a few words in his heart, Langmeyer calmed down a little bit, otherwise he really couldn't accept the absurdity of making a movie a month.

"Mr. Langmeyer, I can tell you with certainty and certainty that the filming of "Home Alone" has officially ended and is now in post-production. I'm here today to confirm the schedule with you."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Langmeyer simply covered his head, he couldn't accept this reality.

And even if Lin Daoqiu is really filmed, what quality can such a movie have, Langmeyer even feels at this moment that his original promise was too hasty, and he should ask these things clearly before making a decision.

But it's too late to say this now, because they have already signed the contract. If Langmeyer wants to break the contract, Lin Daoqiu will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

But these are actually not the key points for Langmeyer, because what he is worried about now is that Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him for a schedule, and he couldn't get it out at all.

One must know that it will be Christmas in more than a month, and the release of the movie has almost been arranged. At this time, asking him to find a screen for Lin Daoqiu is a rhythm that will kill him.

"Mr. Lin, maybe you don't believe what I'm saying now, but I assure you that I'm not lying. You never said that you'd finish shooting a movie in a month. I always thought that what you and I want is next year's movie." schedule."

The more Langmeyer talked, the more excited he became. Now he doesn't know whose fault it is, but it seems useless to pursue these things now.

Seeing Lang Mayer's excited face, Lin Daoqiu was very calm. He seemed to have guessed that Lang Mayer would say this, or he felt that the other party was lying.

"Mr. Langmeyer, it's useless for you to tell me now. I spent a month in that shitty Fairbanks and worked so hard to make this scene. Now tell me Can't show it?"

Covering his head, he looked like he was having a headache. Langmeyer made this situation happen because of his own misjudgment.

If he knew that Lin Daoqiu was going to be released on Christmas this year, he would never agree to cooperate with the other party, let alone a movie that has only been filmed for a month and wants to be released on Christmas. This is simply a fantasy .

You must know that in a year, Christmas is a good opportunity for all film companies to make money. How could he let a movie that was only shot for a month be released on this schedule, unless he was crazy. this way.

"Mr. Lin, we should calm down and solve this matter now, are you right?"

After Lin Daoqiu nodded, Langmeyer quickly took a deep breath.

"There is no way to arrange for your movie to be released this year. I hope you can wait until next year's Christmas schedule. By then..."

Before Lang Mayer finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu directly raised his hand to interrupt what he was going to say next.

It doesn't really matter if "Home Alone" is released next year, but the problem is that Lin Daoqiu is very short of money now, and what he lacks is not small money. If he has to wait until next year to release, then he doesn't know if he can survive until then .

So Lin Daoqiu would definitely not agree with Langmeyer to schedule "Home Alone" to be released next year. He would rather go back and find other companies to cooperate with than accept Langmeyer's request.

"This movie must be released this year. There is no way to change this matter. I hope Mr. Langmeyer can understand my difficulties."

Langmeyer originally wanted to persuade Lin Daoqiu, but now it seems that the other party's attitude is very persistent, which makes him feel very annoyed but helpless.

Let yourself understand his difficulties, then who can understand your own difficulties, Lang Mayer looked dumbfounded, he felt that it was a terrible decision for him to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu this time.

"Mr. Lin, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If you want to release it during Christmas this year, it's okay, but I can only give you 300 yuan for the screen."

Although Langmeyer really tried his best to squeeze out 1000 yuan for Lin Daoqiu's screen, he didn't think "Home Alone" was worth it. An outrageous comedy.

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu's "The Mummy" hanging on him, I'm afraid Langmeyer would have already considered whether to terminate the contract with Lin Daoqiu.

"300 yuan screen? Mr. Langmeyer is not joking with me, I remember we agreed at the beginning that it was 500 yuan screen."

If there is only a 300 yuan screen, the box office of "Home Alone" in the first week is only a few million at most. This is not what Lin Daoqiu wants to see.

"I have just explained to you that the movies for Christmas have already been arranged, and all I can find are 300 yuan screens. If Mr. Lin insists on showing them on Christmas, then I can only give you these .”

When Langmeyer finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu fell silent.

Although Lin Daoqiu guessed that Lang Mayer must have not told him the truth, he didn't seem to have a good way to deal with Lang Mayer.

There are three paths before Lin Daoqiu, either wait for the film to be released next year, or persuade Langmeyer to let him find a way to squeeze out more screens, and the last one is to terminate the contract with the other party and find another company to cooperate with.

But Langmeyer reminded himself with one sentence, that is, Christmas is coming soon, and the Christmas schedules of major companies may have already been arranged, even if they come to the door by themselves, there may not be too many screens for them. he.

So now Lin Daoqiu has to wait for the movie to be released next year, or try to convince Lang Mayer.

"I know that Mr. Langmeyer actually didn't like my movie from the beginning."

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Langmeyer just shrugged his shoulders with a noncommittal look on his face.

"The rough cut of this drama should not take a few days. I think we can look at the finished film before making a decision. If you think the drama is not good enough then we will terminate the contract."

If it was really as simple as Lin Daoqiu said, there was no need for Langmeyer to argue so much with him.

After all, Lin Daoqiu used "The Mummy" in exchange for Langmeyer's nodding and agreeing to release "Home Alone" for him.

Now if the contract is terminated, wouldn't it mean that Lang Mayer would lose the distribution rights of "The Mummy", which is Lin Daoqiu's forte action film.

In Langmeyer's view, Lin Daoqiu's "The Mummy" is likely to become the box office champion next year, so he will not let this film slip away from his hands.

"Okay, since Mr. Lin insists so much, let's talk after watching the film."

Although Langmeyer is not optimistic about this "Home Alone", he still decided that if the movie is not too bad, he will give Lin Daoqiu an extra 200 yuan for the screen, and I believe the other party should be satisfied.
