Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 457 Full of Confidence
"What's the matter? You can't even win the 2000 million box office, so how can you compare with New Art City?"

Lin Daoqiu knew from the expressions on Wen Jun and the others that these two guys had no confidence at all in being able to make a movie with a box office of over 2000 million.

"Brother Qiu, you don't think 2000 million box office is nothing, but to us, this is an astronomical figure. Don't think that everyone is like you."

The more Wen Jun spoke, the softer he was. He felt that Lin Daoqiu had too high expectations of them.

If they are really sure that they can make a movie with a box office of more than 2000 million, it is impossible for them to have the idea of ​​​​comparing with New Art City.

"I have an idea here. It's not impossible to let you guys film, but if the box office can't reach 2000 million by then..."

"Let Brother Qiu dispose of it, kill or cut it up as you like."

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu was willing to write a script for them, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were so happy that they almost stood up from their chairs with excitement.

It can be said that now Lin Daoqiu basically doesn't write much scripts in Xiangjiang. His focus has been on Hollywood, and Xiangjiang allows everyone to play freely.

"You two, don't get so excited. This is just an idea of ​​mine. Even if it is written into a script, it will have to be written by the three of you. I will not participate in the creation of the script."

Lin Daoqiu is too lazy to do it now. If it is not necessary, he will not write the script himself. He just throws a few ideas for Wen Jun and the others to develop themselves. Wouldn't it save time and effort.

"Brother Qiu, you said, we are listening."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui hurriedly sat down on an even footing, and then looked at Lin Daoqiu seriously, wishing to put their ears to Lin Daoqiu's mouth, wanting to hear every word he was going to say clearly.

"A Sheng is an unlucky guy with extremely bad luck. Ever since his parents passed away when he was three years old, he has been unlucky everywhere. He has been forced to live with his uncle's house since he was a child. It took less than three days to work, and what is even more intolerable is that everyone who is kind to him or cares about him will be affected by his bad luck, and even those who ask him to work will also suffer misfortune."

The A Sheng in Lin Daoqiu's mouth naturally refers to Fu Sheng, after all, he is the leading actor in this play.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui couldn't help showing disgusted expressions when they heard this. The protagonist is so unlucky, will the audience like to watch it?
"And Ah Sheng is so unlucky that he will lose every time he gambles. No matter how he plays, it is the same. Even if the other party deliberately cheats, there is no way for Ah Sheng to win."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui could smell it, because it was completely different from their previous thoughts.

In fact, this movie is "The Gambler 2002" produced by Wang Jing and starring Zhang Jiahui.

When it was released in 2002, it only got a dismal score of 146 million, and it only ranked 43rd in the year at that time.

It stands to reason that Lin Daoqiu shouldn't have thought of asking Wang Jing and the others to make this movie, which seems to be a sure-fire loss.

But in fact, this movie was really bad at the time, and that was also because many movies about the God of Gamblers had been made before, and piracy was rampant at that time, and the world of Hong Kong movies was very bad.

The combination of these factors made the play no longer accepted by the audience at that time.

But it's different now, this is an era when even the God of Gamblers was not born, if this drama is filmed now, maybe it will have a different effect.

And even if "The Gambler 2002" is made, it will not have any impact on the current movie, so Lin Daoqiu wants to try it out, if Wang Jing and the others make this movie, what kind of results will it have.

"Then you can let Xie Xian play a very powerful gambling master. At the beginning, arrange for him to fight with some very powerful villain. In the end, he wins the opponent and becomes the king of gambling. Later, let the villain take revenge and defeat him with dirty tricks. Xie Xian, in the end Ah Sheng rescued the seriously injured Xie Xian by chance, and finally Xie Xian saw that Ah Sheng was kind-hearted, so he taught him gambling skills and found out why he was unlucky."

Lin Daoqiu briefly explained the requirements to Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. It is actually not complicated, and they should be able to remember it in their current minds.

Originally, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui stretched out their ears to listen, and they immediately remembered what Lin Daoqiu said.

This story sounds very simple, but it is also very interesting. As long as the image of Ah Sheng, the unlucky ghost, is portrayed well, it will definitely get a very good response.

"Thank you Brother Qiu, we'll go back and write the script with Wang Jing."

Before they came, the two of them were still in a very depressed mood, but when Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, the two of them seemed to come alive all of a sudden, and their faces were all radiant.

"Remember, if this drama can't get 2000 million by then, then you have to think about what to do first."

Lin Daoqiu was just scaring them, he wouldn't say anything even if the show didn't break the million mark, because it was just a test product of Lin Daoqiu.

But Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't think so. You must know that this was an idea Lin Daoqiu gave them. If they couldn't even get 2000 million at the box office, wouldn't it be ridiculous.

"Don't worry, brother Qiu, let alone 2000 million, maybe we can get a box office breaking 3000 million like "Modern Bodyguard" by then, just wait and see."

The confidence of Wen Jun and the others can be described as overwhelming, and they all believed that with the script given by Lin Daoqiu, they would definitely be able to overwhelm New Art City this time.

"Okay, since you guys are so confident, then I'll increase the budget to 300 million for you guys, so go ahead and shoot."

It seems that I have no way to scare them, but this may be a good thing. After all, being confident when shooting will make the quality of this movie more guaranteed. I just don’t know what kind of movie they will make in the end. Lin Daoqiu was looking forward to it.

After Wen Jun and the others were sent away, another visitor came to Lin Daoqiu's office, but this person seemed to have a bad temper. As soon as she entered the door, she sat directly opposite Lin Daoqiu, and looked at him with a blank expression. with him.

It stands to reason that Lin Daoqiu should be very angry that the other party is so rude, but the strange thing is that Lin Daoqiu did not show any dissatisfaction at this time, but looked at the other party with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin, if I don't come today, do you plan to meet me until the award ceremony?"

Yu Cheng's anger could be felt from her tone of voice.

There was a reason why she was so angry, and the culprit who made her so angry that she lost her manners was Lin Daoqiu who was sitting opposite her now.
