Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After coming out of Songshan Airport, Chen Yulian seemed to feel new about everything. This was her first time to Baodao, and she had only seen it on TV before.

Lin Daoqiu, Chen Yulian, Leslie Cheung, Mo Shunyun, plus martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong, screenwriters Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun.

There are also a lot of supporting actors who haven't come over yet in Xiangjiang, so the total crew currently only has this many people.

At first, Lin Daoqiu wanted to find actors from Baodao to join, but because the TV series required live recording and Cantonese dialogue, those who did not speak Cantonese would not be able to use it, so he had no choice but to give up.

Although there were no important people, this time Huang Xizhao prepared a budget of two million Hong Kong dollars for Lin Daoqiu, which is equivalent to about NT$15 million, to film this drama.

The reason why he is so generous is because "Ip Man" made Li's money full.

Many financial backers have already settled on Li's next advertising, and even won a lot of contracts for next year's advertising.

That's why Huang Xizhao was willing to give Lin Daoqiu so much money to film this drama, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous.

In addition to the budget of two million Hong Kong dollars, Huang Xizhao also changed the previous contract and added 500,000 to Lin Daoqiu's remuneration. This money was already transferred to his account before he arrived in Baodao.

"So this is Treasure Island?"

Chen Yulian looked around with an excited expression.

Next to her, Mao Shunyun also felt that everything was fresh.

"I heard that Taiwan's night markets are very famous. How about we go to the night market together in the evening."

"Just talking."

Leslie Cheung said this to Mao Shunyun, but the other party didn't seem to care much about him.

At first, Leslie Cheung didn't even want to go to Treasure Island to film a drama, but a few days before his departure, he suddenly found Lin Daoqiu and desperately wanted to follow him to Treasure Island.

Later, Lin Daoqiu found out that Leslie Cheung had fallen in love with Mo Shunyun and was pursuing her. When he arrived, he learned that Mo Shunyun was also coming to the island to film, and he was anxious to come with him.

It was not as good as Leslie Cheung's hard work, and Lin Daoqiu was really short of actors, so he had no choice but to agree to bring Leslie Cheung with him.

Just as Lin Daoqiu and the others walked out of the airport, two men in Chinese tunic suits walked up to them.

"Welcome everyone, I am Leng Yuanliang, the section chief of the China Film International Liaison Office, responsible for receiving everyone. This is my assistant Ma Mingchuan."

Although Ma Mingchuan also had a smile on his face, his smile looked a bit ugly and he didn't seem to be a person who smiles often.

"Hello, Chief Leng..."

Lin Daoqiu shook hands with the two of them first, and when he shook hands with Ma Mingchuan, he found that the opponent's hand was a bit strong. Although he had already reduced his strength, he could feel that this guy was definitely a good practitioner.

It seems that this guy named Ma Mingchuan is definitely not from China Film Group, and his identity is definitely not simple.

After all, my identity is somewhat sensitive. If it weren't for the fact that Li's TV station is a British TV station, I don't know how much trouble I would have encountered if I came to Taiwan to film.

But it is precisely because of this that as long as Lin Daoqiu does not do anything outrageous, I believe that he will enjoy a lot of conveniences when filming. After all, China Film is a party property of KMT.

Two cars were parked on the roadside. Leng Yuanliang invited Lin Daoqiu into their car, while the others were invited into another car.

After the car started, it drove towards the city. On the way, Leng Yuanliang seemed to be chatting with Lin Daoqiu intentionally or unintentionally.

"Mr. Lin's "Master Qian" broke the box office record in Hong Kong. It's true that a hero comes from a young age."

"Chief Leng is too polite. It's just good luck. In addition, Ms. Fang was willing to let the film be released in Shaw Brothers theaters. That's why it got such a good box office by accident."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Leng Yuanliang immediately shook his head.

Although he is responsible for China Film's external liaison and reception, it does not mean that he does not understand movies.

It's absolutely impossible to achieve such a high box office just because of luck, that's too nonsense.

"Mr. Lin is too modest. "Master Qian" is now being screened in Baodao. I have already watched it and it is indeed very good."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know that "Master Qian" was being screened in Baodao, and Jiahe didn't tell him this.

Moreover, he has been busy filming a TV series recently, so he did not understand these things.

Seeing Lin Daoqiu's surprised expression, Leng Yuanliang felt strange that he didn't know about this. Isn't he the producer of "Master Qian"?

"I've been busy helping Li's film TV series recently, and I don't have time to care about other things."

When Lin Daoqiu saw the other party's confused expression, he explained casually.

"I heard that the film "Ip Man" was very well shot. I believe it will be introduced to Baodao soon. By then, Mr. Lin's reputation in Baodao will be greatly enhanced."

"Chief Leng thinks highly of me. The success of "Ip Man" is not due to my contribution. From the director to the actors and crew, they are the real contributors."

Although he didn't know why Leng Yuanliang kept praising himself, Lin Daoqiu could feel that this guy was definitely not chatting casually, he must have some purpose.

"With Mr. Lin's talent, he will definitely become an internationally renowned film and television tycoon in the future."

It should be a happy thing to be complimented and praised by others, but Lin Daoqiu did not feel any happy because of Leng Yuanliang's words.

And he inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Ma Mingchuan seemed to have been staring at him.

"Thank you to Section Chief Leng for your kind words, but now I still want to finish filming the TV series. After all, TVB is putting a lot of pressure on me."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, a very worried expression immediately appeared on his face.

Naturally, Leng Yuanliang would not easily express his opinions on the ratings war between Li's and TVB. After all, Run Run Shaw had a very good relationship with Baodao, so naturally he, a small section chief, would not express any opinions here.

"I believe that with Mr. Lin's ability, it will not be difficult to make a good TV series. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me."

Even though Leng Yuanliang is just a small section chief, he can do far more than Lin Daoqiu imagined.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Daoqiu and his party began to move their luggage into the hotel.

Before Leng Yuanliang left, he gave Lin Daoqiu a business card and told him that the director of the Liaison Office would like to treat him and the crew to dinner in a few days.

Lin Daoqiu readily agreed. After all, the crew would be filming on Treasure Island for at least the next few months. If he offended the people at China Film Group Corporation, the film would definitely not be filmed.

After watching Leng Yuanliang and the others leave, Lin Daoqiu turned around and walked into the hotel.

"Master Qian" has actually been released in Baodao. If Leng Yuanliang hadn't told him, Lin Daoqiu wouldn't have known it until now.

"Let's go watch a movie later. It is said that there is a movie "Master Qian" in Xiangjiang that was very good."

"I've also been told about that movie, but it's really hard to buy tickets. It's said that you have to wait in line for several hours."

Just as he was about to enter the elevator, Lin Daoqiu suddenly heard someone mention "Master Qian". Judging from their conversation, the box office should be pretty good.
