Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 481

In late April, the opening press conference for "Police Story" was held at the Hax Hill Road studio.

Jackie Chan, Michelle Michelle, Zhang Aijia, director Yuan Heping and some supporting actors of this play are standing on the stage for everyone to take pictures.

For this drama, the focus of everyone's attention is naturally on Lin Daoqiu, the producer and screenwriter.

But as before, Lin Daoqiu still didn't show up today, so everyone can only throw the problem on Jackie Chan, after all, he is the most famous one among them.

However, the reporter's question was very sharp from the beginning, and Jackie Chan's good mood disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Long, why did Mr. Lin choose you from Golden Harvest as the leading role in this drama, instead of his own brother Hong and Yuen Biao?"

This is obviously a trap set by the reporter for Jackie Chan. If he doesn't answer well, he will easily offend others.

If it was someone else, Jackie Chan might not think so much.

But the relationship between Sammo Hung and Ah Biao and him was a bit complicated, so he didn't dare to answer such questions casually.

"It's Mr. Lin's decision to invite me to be the protagonist. Maybe he thinks I'm suitable for this role, but I haven't asked him the specific reason. If I have a chance in the future, I will help you ask."

Jackie Chan's answer was quite satisfactory, neither brilliant nor bad.

But the reporter didn't intend to let him go like this. After all, Lin Daoqiu didn't show up today, and they didn't get any big news.

Although everyone gets a red envelope when they enter the arena, if they can write a wonderful news, it is not much better than a few hundred red envelopes.

"Mr. Lin is the producer and screenwriter of this film, but Brother Long's previous films are all his own decisions. If you encounter disputes in your cooperation this time, who should you listen to?"

Yuan Heping couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, that reporter is really stupid enough to ask such a question.

Now Jackie Chan is just a kung fu star who has made a few blockbuster movies. How can he compare with Lin Daoqiu.

Yuan Heping was very sure that Jackie Chan would listen to Lin Daoqiu [-]% if he encountered a situation like what the reporter said.

But what Yuan Heping didn't expect was that Jackie Chan's answer was far beyond his expectation.

"Well... If I encounter such a situation at that time, I will discuss it with Mr. Lin. Although Mr. Lin is very good at writing scripts, I am better at shooting action scenes."

Jackie Chan's words startled Yuan Heping and immediately turned his head to look at the other party. He never expected Jackie Chan to say such words in public.

Compared to Yuan Heping's shock, Jackie Chan's answer made the reporters at the scene excited all of a sudden.

"Brother Long, you mean that Mr. Lin is not as good as you in action scenes?"

""Mission Impossible" won a box office of over [-] million US dollars before, isn't Brother Long a bit too arrogant to say that?"

Jackie Chan didn't expect that a word he said casually would cause such a fierce reaction from the reporters on the scene.

"Everyone misunderstood. Brother Long didn't mean that. What he meant was that he is more experienced in designing the bridges and routines of the movements."

Yuan Heping hurried out to smooth things over, otherwise if the word spread, Lin Daoqiu would think of him at that time.

Jackie Chan also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he quickly shut up, just nodded and said yes.

Not far away, Lin Daoqiu and He Guanchang were standing together at this time, both of them could hear what Jackie Chan said with the microphone just now.

Lin Daoqiu kept a smile on his face, but He Guanchang who was next to him became nervous after hearing Wanlong's words.

From time to time, he peeked at the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face, hoping that he would never take Jackie Chan's words seriously.

"Aaron was just joking just now, Mr. Lin, don't take it to heart."

He Guanchang has already made up his mind, after the press conference is over, he will immediately find Jackie Chan to apologize to Lin Daoqiu.

But what He Guanchang didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu really didn't mind this at all. After all, there are many classic lines of Brother Long in later generations. In such a comparison, what he just said is nothing at all.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. He, I'm not so stingy."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and waved his hands.

He Guanchang saw that Lin Daoqiu didn't look like he was lying, and his nervousness was relieved.

He Guanchang made a special trip to see Lin Daoqiu today, of course he didn't come to accompany him to this press conference, he actually came here to ask for something.

"Mr. Lin, do you think it is possible for Aaron to develop in Hollywood?"

Although the momentum of Xiangjiang movies has been rising in the past two years, and the box office has repeatedly hit new highs, Golden Harvest's ambition is not just to get a good result in Xiangjiang.

Since Bruce Lee, Zou Wenhuai has always had the dream of entering Hollywood and promoting Golden Harvest's films to the world.

It's just that after Bruce Lee left, Jiahe's dream died.

Although they discovered a Jackie Chan later, his performance in Hollywood was not very good.

Last year, Golden Harvest invested heavily in the filming of "Cannonball Run", but the protagonist in it was not Jackie Chan, but Bereynolds.

Even if this movie really gets a good box office result, the help to Jackie Chan can be said to be very limited.

So now the only person who can help Jiahe and Jackie Chan is Lin Daoqiu.

If he is willing to produce a few scripts to make Jackie Chan famous in Hollywood, then the dream of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang to enter Hollywood may be realized.

"Of course, Aaron's own potential is very good. If he can have a few good scripts and let him gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, then he might be able to make a fortune there by then."

Of course, Lin Daoqiu knew why He Guanchang suddenly asked himself this way, maybe they wanted to ask for some scripts from him.

But the problem now is that his script is not cheap at all, and why should he help Golden Harvest become popular as Jackie Chan?It didn't do him any favors.

"Mr. Lin, if Golden Harvest is willing to cooperate with you with 1000 million US dollars plus half of the proceeds of the movie, I don't know if Mr. Lin is interested. Of course, Golden Harvest will fully invest in this movie."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Jiahe to be willing to pay such a capital for Jackie Chan.

I only need to write a script, and all the subsequent things will be done by Jiahe, so that I can get half of all the profits of this drama. It can be said that there is no more favorable condition than this.

But Jiahe is not a fool. They provided such generous conditions to Lin Daoqiu this time, and at first glance it seems that they have suffered a big loss.

But their purpose is not to make money, but to make Jackie Chan famous in Hollywood.

Once Jackie Chan becomes famous in Hollywood, they will receive US dollars instead of Hong Kong dollars.
