Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 451 Just Take a Gamble

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu's relationship, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" wouldn't have broken through 3000 million.

And this caused Xu Guanjie to ask for 100 million more than in the previous life.

But at this moment, Teddy Robin suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Do you think Xu Guanjie didn't want to act in our movie, and that's why he charged such an outrageous price? He wants us to get out of trouble?"

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention. After all, Xu Guanjie's price was too outrageous. It can be said that no one dares to ask for such a high salary.

But not long after Teddy Robin finished speaking, Shi Tian immediately denied his conjecture.

"Impossible. If Xu Guanjie doesn't want to act in our film, he can simply refuse. There is no need to offer such a high salary."

A group of people discussed for a long time but didn't come up with any good ideas. They had never encountered such a thing, so they didn't know how to solve it for a while.

In fact, this matter is very simple to say, either promise Xu Guanjie to give him 300 million, or find someone else to act.

But it is not so easy to make them make a decision right away, which is easy to say.

"Why don't we play King Kong with another person, 300 million is too much, if we save a little money, we might be able to finish filming this movie."

After all, they didn't know whether it was worth spending so much money to invite Xu Guanjie. After all, the main hero of the Xu Brothers' film was Xu Guanwen.

Although Xu Guanjie has a great influence in the music world, how much of the more than 3000 million box office of "Modern Bodyguard" was contributed by him is open to question.

"I think it's time to give it a go."

Huang Baiming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked this question.

When he finished speaking, the others suddenly raised their heads, and then they all looked at Huang Baiming with puzzled expressions.

"I'll give him 300 million. Anyway, it's just a gamble. If we have confidence in "Best Partner", we shouldn't worry so much. I believe this drama will definitely be a hit."

After Huang Baiming finished speaking, the other people present seemed to wake up all of a sudden.

…………

"300 million salary?"

When Lin Daoqiu heard from Fang Jinsheng that Xinyicheng actually spent 300 million yuan to invite Xu Guanjie to play "Best Partner", he looked astonished.

Fang Jinsheng saw Lin Daoqiu's astonished expression, and thought that Xu Guanjie's salary was too high, that's why Lin Daoqiu was so surprised.

But Lin Daoqiu was surprised because Xu Guanjie obviously asked for 200 million in his previous life, so why suddenly added 100 million now.

Couldn't help but shook his head, Lin Daoqiu dared to bet that the reason why Xu Guanjie added the 100 million was probably because the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" broke through the 3000 million mark, so he had the confidence to ask Xinyi City for it. so much money.

"understood."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything after hearing the news. After all, this is Xinyicheng's own business, and judging from the potential of this drama, it is very likely that it will break 4000 million by then.

It's just that now everyone doesn't know whether it is worthwhile for New Art City to do so.

Fortunately, this matter has not been spread yet, so no one knows that Xu Guanjie actually received 300 million yuan from New Art City.

Once this news gets out at that time, I am afraid that there will be another wave of topics in Xiangjiang, but these are not things that Lin Daoqiu needs to care about.

Not long after Fang Jinsheng left, there was another knock on the door of Lin Daoqiu's office.

After Lin Daoqiu responded, Fang Jinsheng pushed the door open again.

"Mr. Hong Jinbao is here, and he wants to see you."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Sammo Hung to come to him at this time. It stands to reason that the other party should be filming "The Mummy" at the base of the Magic Studio. Is there anything wrong with him coming to him at this time?
Wait until Fang Jinsheng brings Hong Jinbao in.

"Mr. Lin, didn't I bother you?"

After Sammo Hung came in, he greeted Lin Daoqiu with a smile.

"Of course not, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu asked Fang Jinsheng to pour a cup of tea for Sammo Hung.

He guessed that Hong Jinbao made a special trip to find him today, probably not because of "The Mummy", but probably because of his own new play.

After all, he and Yuen Biao were only supporting roles in "The Mummy", and it took half a year to shoot from the beginning to now. Everyone has to prepare their own new play.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that Sammo Hung came to talk to him about a new play today, but what he didn't expect was that what Sammo Hung wanted to talk about was indeed a new play, but this matter was related to Golden Harvest.

"At the celebration banquet of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants", Mr. He talked to me and said that he wanted to invite me back to film "Five Lucky Stars".

Sammo Hung knew that Lin Daoqiu didn't like people who beat around the bush, so he directly explained his intentions to the other party.

After Lin Daoqiu listened to Sammo Hung's words, he just nodded, unable to see whether he agreed or opposed.

"If this movie is released during the Chinese New Year, it will definitely be a very profitable movie, but it is only March now, and it shouldn't take too long to shoot "Five Lucky Stars", and you and the military education movie on Baodao Yuen Biao wants to participate?"

Lin Daoqiu had already talked with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao about things on Treasure Island before, so naturally they would not refuse to participate in the military education film.

But they are just cameos and there won't be too many scenes, and it won't take up too much of their time, so the two agreed without thinking too much.

After all, the Treasure Island market is a very important box office warehouse for them. If Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao return to the speed of filming before, they can earn at least 2000 million in box office revenue in Treasure Island in a year, and they will naturally not follow Treasure Island can't make it through.

"I estimate that the filming of A Biao and I can be finished within a month at the most. Apart from "The Five Lucky Stars", I have two other films of my own to start this year, and I will definitely not delay things. .”

Sammo Hung was worried that Lin Daoqiu would criticize Lin Daoqiu because he went to help Golden Harvest make a movie. After all, movies made by different companies received different shares in Xiangjiang Cinemas.

That's why he hurriedly promised in front of Lin Daoqiu that although he helped Golden Harvest make a movie, he will help New Oriental make two movies this year, not to mention that A Biao will also make a few movies this year, Lin Daoqiu probably won't too angry.

"As long as you can come over, there is no problem with me."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have too many ideas about Sammo Hung helping Golden Harvest to make a movie, and the copyright of the film "Five Lucky Stars" is on Golden Harvest. If Sammo Hung wanted to make a film, the only way to do it was to cooperate with Golden Harvest .

It can be said that Jiahe took a fancy to this point, so He Guanchang approached Sammo Hung.
