Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 813
Looking at Hong Jinbao's astonished expression, Lin Daoqiu could more or less guess what he was thinking.

It took more than a month, including post-production, to go to Neon to shoot scenes.

For Sammo Hung, this is simply an impossible task.

"Mr. Lin, if we go to Neon to shoot, I'm worried that there won't be enough time."

Yuen Biao still expressed his worries.

If Lin Daoqiu doesn't plan to let this movie be released during the Spring Festival, then it doesn't matter where it is filmed.

But the problem now is that in such a short period of time, it is not at all difficult to prepare so many things.

"I will be in charge of coordinating with Neon. All you have to do is concentrate on making the movie well. I can handle the rest."

Lin Daoqiu continued: "This time I will be the producer, screenwriter, and director of this drama, and let Sanmao be the director."

Neither Sammo Hung nor Yuen Biao would have any objections to Lin Daoqiu's decision.

But now there is still a thorny problem, that is, the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" is still in the hands of Golden Harvest.

If you don't make an agreement and go directly to shoot, the two families may have a war of words.

"Now you go to Golden Harvest to find Mr. Zou, and tell him that you want to buy the copyright of the whole movie. If he doesn't agree, you can buy the license for this sequel instead."

The former owns the copyright of the entire film "Five Lucky Stars", while the latter can only shoot this one.

Although Lin Daoqiu couldn't guess how Zou Wenhuai would choose, he believed that if the other party was not confused, he would definitely sell it.

"Alright Mr. Lin, I'm going to Jiahe right now."

Sammo Hung knew that time waited for no one, so he stood up immediately after speaking, and left Lin Daoqiu's office with Yuen Biao.

…………

When Sammo Hung came to Golden Harvest Company, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others were discussing matters.

When the secretary came in to announce that Sammo Hung was visiting, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's faces were filled with shock.

"Quick... please."

When Sammo Hung was in Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang didn't know how much he was worth.

But after Sammo Hung left Golden Harvest, they realized that this fat man was no less important to Golden Harvest than Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen.

But it is a pity that it is difficult to recover, he has already voted under Lin Daoqiu's command, and it is almost impossible to get him back.

"Mr. Zou, Mr. He, good morning."

After Sammo Hung entered the door, he seemed to be well-behaved, and greeted everyone in the room.

"Long time no see, Sanmao, come, please sit down."

Zou Wenhuai did not know when he had already left his seat, and was standing not far from the door, waiting for Sammo Hung.

Regarding Sammo Hung, Zou Wenhuai still thought that one day he could be brought back to Golden Harvest.

"Sanmao, I heard that you went to Hollywood to film, I don't know how it's going?"

He Guanchang didn't know what happened to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao in Hollywood.

But not many people knew about it, and Lin Daoqiu didn't talk about it everywhere, so Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao naturally didn't want others to know.

"Thank you Mr. He for your concern. The Hollywood movie has already been filmed, but A Biao and I still feel that our hometown is hard to leave, so we plan to come back and continue to develop."

Sammo Hung didn't mention much about Hollywood, but He Guanchang has been in the film industry for so many years, he can smell something about what Sammo Hung said.

"Sanmao, you are right to think so. As long as you develop well in Xiangjiang, it will be easier to go to Hollywood."

Speaking of which, Bruce Lee also became popular all over the world from Xiangjiang, but it is a pity that his film career was too short.

But for Golden Harvest, the good news now is that Jackie Chan got the script given by Lin Daoqiu, and once he rises in Hollywood, he will naturally be able to take over the mantle of Bruce Lee.

But even so, on Xiangjiang's side, Golden Harvest can't be careless, they still have to stabilize their basic market.

"Mr. Zou, actually I came today to discuss something with you."

After Zou Wenhuai returned to his seat and sat down, Sammo Hung told him about his reason for coming.

"Sanmao, everyone is on their own, so just speak up if you have something to say, and I will do my best to help you if I can."

Zou Wenhuai answered Sammo Hung without thinking.

But he actually couldn't guess that Sammo Hung suddenly ran over to discuss something with him.

It stands to reason that by Lin Daoqiu's side, if you want money, you need resources, you need resources, scripts and so on.

Zou Wenhuai really couldn't figure out why Sammo Hung liked them.

"It's actually like this. I came here today to buy the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars"."

As soon as Sammo Hung finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai's eyelids suddenly trembled, and He Guanchang on the other side also looked very surprised.

The well-deserved protagonist of "Five Lucky Stars" is Sammo Hung.

It is not difficult to understand that he wants to buy the copyright of this movie.

But Zou Wenhuai didn't believe that Sammo Hung was willing to spend so much money to buy the copyright of this movie.

When they bought it, they spent a full 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now if Sammo Hung wants to buy it, no matter what, it will have to start at least 3000 million.

"Sanmao, in fact, if you want to make a film, you can cooperate with Golden Harvest. Just like last time, we will provide all the funds."

Zou Wenhuai naturally did not want to sell the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" to Sammo Hung.

After all, the box office of this movie not only sold well in Xiangjiang, but also brought them a lot of income when it was sold in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Zou, thank you very much for your appreciation, but you should also know that without that person's consent, I would never dare to agree."

The person Sammo Hung mentioned was naturally referring to Lin Daoqiu.

The reason why they were able to cooperate last time was all because of Lin Daoqiu's nodding.

Now it is almost impossible for Zou Wenhuai to want Lin Daoqiu to nod his head. How could he ask Sammo Hung to help Golden Harvest film the film without seeing that the two are fighting in the ring.

"Sanmao, we won't sell the copyright of this movie. I'm afraid you'll have to make a trip for nothing today."

Zou Wenhuai never thought about selling the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" to Sammo Hung.

Hearing what Zou Wenhuai said, Sammo Hung didn't seem discouraged, because he had already guessed that the other party would say this.

"Mr. Zou, what if I buy it once instead?"

Zou Wenhuai didn't seem to understand what Sammo Hung meant, it seemed that his face was full of question marks.

"Sanmao means that you plan to spend money to buy the right to shoot once?"

It seems that He Guanchang has understood what Sammo Hung meant.

Just as He Guanchang finished speaking, Sammo Hung, who was opposite him, nodded vigorously.
