Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 935 Casting of "Tomb Raider"
With Lin Daoqiu's capital injection, Yongjia Film Co., Ltd. was officially established.

Chen Xunqi and Li Yingjiu each hold [-]% of the shares, and New Oriental holds [-]%.

Before, Chen Xunqi was just thinking about whether he could direct and produce a movie by himself.

But he didn't expect that after only a few days, he would actually open a film company, which made him feel unreal.

Because it was a temporary idea, the opening ceremony was held in a hurry, so Chen Xunqi didn't invite anyone to watch the ceremony on the day the company opened.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu brought Sun Zhidong to congratulate him, which made Chen Xunqi very grateful.

After all, with Lin Daoqiu present to congratulate, this is enough face. It can be said that any star in Xiangjiang at this time does not have as much face as Lin Daoqiu.

And since Lin Daoqiu came, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't miss it, even Wang Jing was there, and then Mai Jia also brought Huang Baiming.

The originally somewhat deserted scene slowly began to become lively.

But at this time, when Dang Li Ying saw Mai Jia, the expressions on the faces of the two seemed a little unnatural.

Originally, these two people had always been partners before Maijia founded New Art City.

But after that, Mai Jia was pulled by Lei Juekun to establish Xinyi City, so she continued to cooperate with Li Ying.

In the previous life, Li Ying turned to cooperate with Chen Xunqi after Maijia established New Art City, and stayed in Yongjia Film Co., Ltd. for almost ten years.

No one knows what happened between these two people, only they themselves know.

"congratulations."

Mai Jia stepped forward to congratulate Chen Xunqi and Li Ying, and gave a big red envelope.

"Director Mai is being polite, and I hope New Art City will take care of you in the future."

Chen Xunqi knew more or less about Li Yingjiu and Mai Jia, but now everyone is making a living in New Oriental.

From now on, everyone will just look up and see down. It is best not to have any conflicts, that is the best.

However, Chen Xunqi's worry was obviously superfluous. Like Li Yingjiu and Mai Jia, they are not too young, and it is impossible for them to quarrel because of a little suspicion.

And Li Ying didn't show any dissatisfaction or impatient expression in front of Mai Jia.

Although when he saw Mai Jia, he still acted a little unnaturally, but after this short period of adjustment, Li Ying has already recovered.

"Director Mai is very capable. If we can get his help, Yongjia will be able to avoid detours in the future."

It sounds like Li Yingjiu still admires Maijia very much.

After all, the two films of "Best Partner" together earned 7000 million at the box office. Except for Lin Zhengying, there is really no one in Xiangjiang who is Maika's opponent.

Now Yongjia is not even compared with New Art City, even ordinary film companies.

If he can get the help of New Art City, it will definitely be beneficial to Yongjia.

"Ah, it's too outlandish to say that. We are old acquaintances. Yongjia has you and Boss Chen. It may not be weaker than New Art City in the future."

Mai Jia's words were a compliment, after all, even Sammo Hung and the others dared not say that their new play won "Best Partner".

Chen Xunqi and Li Ying didn't take Mai Jia's polite words seriously either. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming left. After all, they were really busy, and they came to attend the opening ceremony today during filming.

After entertaining the people who came to the opening ceremony, Chen Xunqi and Li Ying returned to the office, because Lin Daoqiu was waiting for them inside.

"There is less than half a year until next year's Spring Festival. Is Yongjia interested in participating?"

Chen Xunqi and Li Ying were stunned after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said.

Because next year's Spring Festival, New Oriental's main focus must be New Art City's "Best Partner", which is beyond doubt.

No matter how Lin Daoqiu's tone sounds, it seems that they are also intentionally invited to join the Spring Festival stalls. This is something that Chen Xunqi and Li Ying never expected before.

Seeing Chen Xunqi and Li Ying looking at him in shock, Lin Daoqiu explained with a smile.

"I originally planned to let "Mr. Zombie" take over from "Best Partner", but it is not auspicious to watch ghost movies during Chinese New Year. It just so happens that this time I will cooperate with Golden Harvest, so I plan to let Yongjia take over."

Lin Daoqiu had already told Chen Xunqi before that this time he was going to partner with Li Yuanba,

Because he knew about this in advance, Chen Xunqi immediately calmed down after being surprised.

"Since Mr. Lin believes in me, I'm willing to give it a try."

Chen Xunqi would not promise in front of Lin Daoqiu that he would get as much box office, he is not that kind of person.

And for a newcomer who has never directed a single film, it is simply impossible for him to predict how much box office his film will get.

Even veterans like Maijia and Sammo Hung dare not predict how much box office their films will get.

If Chen Xunqi really said this in front of Lin Daoqiu, it would only make Lin Daoqiu's impression of him worse.

"Li Yuanba's physical fitness is very good. When the time comes to design moves, you can try to design more difficult moves. Since Golden Harvest wants to make Li Yuanba the second Jackie Chan, you can go in this direction."

Lin Daoqiu didn't mind at all, Li Yuanba would be popularized by Chen Xunqi, and he was even happy to see it succeed.

For things like stars, of course, the more the better, otherwise, only a few people will come and go, which will not benefit Xiangjiang Films at all.

However, compared with Jackie Chan, Li Yuanba is still a lot worse, so Lin Daoqiu is even less likely to worry that he will threaten Jackie Chan's status.

After handing over Li Yuanba's new play to Yongjia, Lin Daoqiu can put down the work at hand and prepare for the production of "Tomb Raider".

This time the director Lin Daoqiu used Yuan Heping, and the martial arts instructor was naturally Yuan Jiaban.

After all, Brigitte Lin has been training in Yuan's class, and it is only natural to cooperate with them.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu has always liked Yuan Heping's action design. After working together for a long time, everyone has a tacit understanding, and he doesn't want to change people casually.

Because "Tomb Raider" is a Hollywood-oriented movie, apart from Lin Qingxia, Lin Daoqiu's scope of casting has also shifted from Xiangjiang to Hollywood.

Taking Sun Zhidong away from Xiangjiang to the United States, Lin Daoqiu will help cast the cast for "Tomb Raider" this time.

Before Lin Daoqiu set off, he asked Langmeyer to help select some actors who met his requirements, and waited for him to go to interview.
