Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Although Zheng Danrui and Wen Juan were still unwilling to talk to Yuan Biao, since Lin Daoqiu had spoken, they couldn't say anything.

However, because of this, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun remained silent, and the atmosphere became tense due to their actions.

Seeing how awkward the atmosphere was, Zhong Fa quickly came out to smooth things over.

"The movie A Rui and A Juan was done well, and the box office was better than many of my movies."

As soon as "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" was mentioned, Wen Jun's face showed a proud expression.

Although this play was originally written by Lin Daoqiu, many parts of it were modified by him and Zheng Danshui together.

If you want to take credit, they both deserve at least half of it.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu only produced the script and left all the rest to them. They were very satisfied with the box office of more than 3 million yuan.

Not to mention that this is an urban romantic comedy with low cost and relies entirely on word-of-mouth and plot to attract audiences.

Although part of the credit must be attributed to the controversy surrounding Winner's disbandment, if the movie was not good-looking, so many viewers would not have bought tickets to enter the theater.

"Afa, you're welcome, this drama is all about..."

Wen Jun was just about to give all the credit to Lin Daoqiu, but the other party suddenly coughed.

"Ari and I made it together."

Wen Juan changed his words abruptly, but others always felt that Wen Juan's words sounded a bit distorted. How could anyone praise himself like this?

"Actually, Brother Qiu gave us the inspiration. He said that urban comedy will be a very important genre in the future. We are just trying to cross the river by feeling the stones."

Zheng Danrui's words are much more reliable than Wen Jun's, but it can also be heard from his words that this "Goodbye Wang Laowu" has something to do with Lin Daoqiu.

Yuan Biao had been drinking with his head down and not talking since he sat down. Lin Zhengying looked extremely anxious.

Now that Lin Daoqiu was in front of him, it would be good to take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship with him. It would be good to even have a few words with him.

After all, in Lin Zhengying's eyes, Lin Daoqiu's vision for movies is both unique and far-sighted.

The other party believes that urban comedy is an important genre in the future, and it is definitely not an empty talk.

Not only has a movie "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" been produced, but it was only given to Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun to test the waters and it took three million at the box office.

If Lin Daoqiu had done the filming himself, Lin Zhengying couldn't even imagine how much the final box office would be.

"Aying keeps blinking, maybe there is sand in her eyes."

Lin Daoqiu noticed that Lin Zhengying always blinked at Yuan Biao, and he could tell what the other person was thinking at a glance.

"Haha...yeah, yeah, something got into my eye by accident just now." Lin Zhengying made a random joke.

It wasn't that Yuan Biao didn't want to talk to Lin Daoqiu, but he didn't know what to say.

Is it possible to ask Lin Daoqiu to write a script for him directly in front of so many people?

"I heard that A Biao is filming a new movie recently?"

Lin Daoqiu saw that Lin Zhengying was in such a difficult situation, so he simply helped him directly and left the topic to Yuan Biao.

When Yuan Biao heard this, he immediately raised his head and nodded.

"Well, I'm currently filming a kung fu comedy called "The Miscellaneous Boy"."

The plots of "Miscellaneous Boy" and "Mr. Zan and Zhao Qianhua" are somewhat similar, and the big boss at the end is hidden beside him.

Lin Daoqiu just nodded after hearing this. These two movies were filmed in such a hurry, and he didn't know whose idea it was.

Moreover, the plots are so similar, which is not a good thing for Yuan Biao. It is almost squeezing his popularity.

But Lin Daoqiu would not say this, after all, he has never even read the script of "The Miscellaneous Family".

If I told Yuan Biao and others that the two dramas were somewhat similar, I'm afraid the box office wouldn't be much better.

Yuan Biao and the others must be wondering, how did Lin Daoqiu know what story "Miscellaneous Family Boy" is about? Could it be that he planted someone in Jiahe?

In order to avoid this misunderstanding, Lin Daoqiu could only pretend to know nothing.

"Mr. Lin, Ari just said that urban comedy will be a very important genre in the future. How long do you think kung fu comedy can be produced?"

Zhong Fa suddenly asked a question that many people sitting here were very concerned about. After all, they all relied on this type to earn a living.

"I'm not a god, how do I know how long a kung fu comedy can be filmed?" Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his head.

The person who really discovered that it is difficult to make a difference in kung fu comedies is actually Sammo Hung.

Because in 1980, Sammo Hung suddenly began to test the waters of supernatural films and made a movie called "Ghostbusters", which also achieved good box office success.

If they really want to know, Lin Daoqiu would still recommend that they ask Sammo Hung.

Zhong Fa also felt that his question was not very appropriate. If Lin Daoqiu really knew, then he would not be a human, but a god.

"Actually, kung fu comedies can still be made, but the script must be surprising and logical. Otherwise, it will be just for the sake of fighting and the plot will be copied mechanically, and it will be difficult to achieve any good results."

Lin Daoqiu was actually saying this to Yuan Biao, hoping that he and Sammo Hung could think more about the plot and not just spend their energy on comedy and martial arts.

Yuan Biao nodded while listening. It seemed that he had obviously listened to what Lin Daoqiu said, and even planned to mention it to Sammo Hung after he went back.

But when he thought of Sammo Hung, Lin Daoqiu thought of a way to raise 20 million.

………………

The next day, Lin Daoqiu came to Jiahe Film Company alone.

After announcing his name at the reception desk at the door, a manager immediately came down to greet Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Zou is waiting for you in the office, please come with me."

Zou Wenhuai was about to go to a meeting. When he heard that Lin Daoqiu had suddenly arrived, he immediately canceled the meeting and called He Guanchang to his office.

Lin Daoqiu must have visited the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, but I don't know what the purpose of his visit was.

"Achang, what do you think his purpose is for coming today?"

When asked by Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang immediately shook his head, because he couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu came suddenly.

It stands to reason that if he wants to film, he should not be short of money.

"Could it be that his new play wants someone from Jiahe to be the protagonist, so he came to talk to us?"

"Our people are the protagonists?"

After hearing what He Guanchang said, Zou Wenhuai immediately felt that it made sense.

Because the most famous actors in Hong Kong, such as Xu Guanwen, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan who just joined, are all in Golden Harvest.

If Lin Daoqiu was looking for an actor with a guaranteed box office, he would probably only choose from these four people.

"If that's the case, we still have to try to take the lion's share when we discuss it later. After all, this kid's drama has been well received in Southeast Asia and Taiwan."

The movie "Master Qian" earned Jiahe almost over 20 million yuan. It can be said that Lin Daoqiu is a big fat sheep in the eyes of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.
