Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 459

As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and friends when you go out.

Mai Dangxiong did not expect himself to become Lin Daoqiu's confidant like Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui.

But speaking of it, before Lin Daoqiu made his fortune, he had already worked with him, and he had a good friendship.

As long as Lin Daoqiu supports himself a little bit so that his first film can get a good box office, then McDonald can use this to gain a firm foothold in the film industry.

But this is the most important movie for McDonald, he actually chose a script written by Wen Jun.

"Have you really thought about it? Are you going to make this movie?"

Xiao Ruoyuan felt that McDonald's decision was a bit risky, because this is neither a comedy nor a romance film, but a drama based on the West German film "Degenerate Street".

It's a bit inappropriate to make such a movie in the current world.

Because the current movies are either kung fu movies or comedies, it is really elusive for McDonald to dare to make such a feature film in his first movie.

"That's right, not only you, but even Wen Jun was baffled at the beginning, and even thought that I was out of my mind, and the first play was his "Pretty Girl"."

When McDonald said this, he couldn't help laughing at himself. After all, among the 99 people he chose, [-] would not do it.

But McDonald's just didn't believe in this evil, he just wanted to make "Pretty Girl" as his first movie.

At this moment, the phone on McDonald's desk rang suddenly. He picked up the phone and listened, his eyes suddenly widened without saying a word.

"Understood, I'll come down right now."

After Mai Dangxiong put down the phone, he immediately explained to Li Dawei and Xiao Ruoyuan: "Mr. Lin is here, come with me to meet him."

Although I don't know why Lin Daoqiu came to ATV all of a sudden, this is a good opportunity for Mai Dangxiong. He can take this opportunity to test Lin Daoqiu's tone and see if he is willing to give himself some support.

Standing at the stairs, Mai Dangxiong and others are here to welcome Lin Daoqiu's arrival.

"Director Mai, long time no see."

Lin Daoqiu basically doesn't come to ATV. Even though he has bought [-]% of ATV's shares before, he doesn't seem to care about ATV's affairs at all.

Only when ATV was severely suppressed by TVB, Lin Daoqiu would lend a helping hand, otherwise, he would always keep a sideline attitude.

"Mr. Lin is a very busy person right now. I wonder what business you have to come to ATV today?"

Mai Dangxiong followed Lin Daoqiu, and the two talked while walking.

"I'm here today to discuss with you. Regarding matters related to the broadcast of the Golden Statue Awards, ATV has never held such a ceremony before, so there are some places that need to be discussed carefully."

After hearing this, Mai Dangxiong realized that Lin Daoqiu had come today to discuss with them the broadcast of the Golden Image Awards.

So Mai Dangxiong hurriedly invited Lin Daoqiu to his office, and then his seat was given to the other party as a matter of course, and Mai Dangxiong himself sat on the opposite side.

Since it is about the Golden Film Awards, it will inevitably be dragged to the other side, such as the Golden Film Awards created by Chen Baisheng and the others.

"It is said that the primary selection for the Golden Film Awards has ended, and the new shortlist of films has been published in the latest issue of "Film Biweekly". It seems that Chen Bosheng really wants to break arms with Mr. Lin."

Xiao Ruoyuan said this in a teasing tone, because in his opinion, it was unknown whether anyone would receive the Golden Shadow Award that Chen Baisheng and the others created.

And everyone already knew that Chen Baisheng was deliberately trying to argue with Lin Daoqiu, so how could they possibly attend his Golden Film Awards ceremony? Don't they want to mess around?
So this shows that the Golden Shadow Award created by Chen Baisheng may only end up as a laughing stock in the end.

And when Xiao Ruoyuan was saying these words, Mai Dangxiong's eyes did not move away from Lin Daoqiu's body.

He found that Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to be interested in this matter, and he didn't intend to use it to laugh at Chen Baisheng, so he quickly changed the topic to other places.

"Mr. Lin, Xiangjiang's film world is so good now, thanks to the integration of the three major cinema chains, it can be said that it is a good time to catch up. If you say that if I leave ATV and go to the film industry, will I be a How about a good time?"

If it was someone else, they would probably only think that he was joking when they heard what McDonald said.

But Lin Daoqiu is very clear, this guy McDonald will definitely not just talk about it, he should really leave ATV to go out to make movies, and if you calculate the time, it should be around this time.

"If Director Mai leaves ATV to develop in the film industry, he should have a good development."

Lin Daoqiu's words made people sound, making it hard to tell whether he was talking politely, or whether he really had such confidence in McDonald.

But at least it sounded to McDonald, he was still very happy with Lin Daoqiu's words.

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, I'm already planning to resign and leave ATV."

Mai Dangxiong has nothing to hide in front of Lin Daoqiu, and he still needs Lin Daoqiu to reach out and give him a hand.

Although he knew that this would happen, Lin Daoqiu had to pretend to look at him with a surprised expression after Mai Dangxiong finished speaking.

"Aren't you kidding? Now you are the director of ATV's production department. Are you willing to give up this position?"

In fact, Lin Daoqiu knew very well that of course Mac Dangxiong was very willing, because now his whole mind is to leave ATV to develop in the film industry, how could a small production director deter him.

"Mr. Lin, I have been in ATV for so many years, and I have filmed enough TV series, so now I want to try a different direction and see how much I can do."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know how much of Mai Dangxiong's words were true, but after hearing what the other party said, Lin Daoqiu knew very well that Mai Dangxiong had made up his mind to leave.

So he just nodded and didn't say anything, let alone trying to keep Mai Dangxiong.

And it doesn't matter even if McDonald is gone, ATV still has Xu Xiaoming and others.

No matter how bad it is, if Qiu Degen really has no other choice, he will naturally dig the corner of the wireless wall, and Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to worry about this at all.

"Since Director Mai has such an idea, I wish you all the best. If you need my help in the future, just ask."

Lin Daoqiu's words are what Mai Dangxiong wants to hear the most, because he wants Lin Daoqiu to help him now.

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, I have a written script in my hand now, and I plan to use it as the opening work of my film company. If you don't mind, can you give me a review?"
