Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The first reason why I didn't hire Brigitte Lin was because she was a bit old and her salary was too high.

Second, because the fighting scenes in "Dragon and Tiger Gate" are basically focused on men, there is no need to find a fighting woman to play the heroine.

So the heroine of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" only needs to be a vase.

But since it is a big production, naturally you cannot just find a female star to play the role. Naturally, you have to find a female star who can match this big production, and Zhong Chuhong is naturally the first choice.

Basically, if you want to make a movie with Zhong Chuhong now, you need Lin Daoqiu's approval. Although there is no explicit rule, it has almost become everyone's consensus.

However, there is no need to make a special trip for He Guanchang to take Jet Li to film with Zhong Chuhong. The biggest purpose of He Guanchang's trip is still Lin Daoqiu.

"Huang Yulang spent at least 80 million on "Heroes of China". I wonder how much money Jiahe plans to spend on "Dragon and Tiger Gate" this time?"

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to agree to the other party. He wanted to know how much money Jiahe planned to spend on "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

"To be honest, Mr. Lin, we have had some discussions with Boss Huang before. After discussion, Jiahe plans to spend 70 million to film "Dragon and Tiger Gate"."

Adding another 10 million to Lin Daoqiu's standard of 60 million, it seems that Jiahe has not learned the lesson of "The Legend of Wesley".

"It is almost impossible to recover the 70 million production fee in Xiangjiang. Is Jiahe really thinking about doing this?"

Lin Daoqiu seemed to be reminding the other party that even if the sales were good, the cost would not be recovered in Xiangjiang.

If the drama fails and the loss of "The Legend of Wesley" is included, then Jiahe's two dramas will lose at least 80 million.

"Does Mr. Lin think it would be useful to adapt comics into movies?"

He Guanchang did not show the slightest expression of worry. Instead, he asked Lin Daoqiu what he thought of the comic adaptation.

If Lin Daoqiu said that he didn't like the comic book adaptation at this time, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?

If it weren't for the fact that the cost of special effects is now too high, it would still be very profitable to make a comic adaptation with a budget of 30 to 40 million.

"Actually, I can't say for sure. After all, there isn't even a real comic book movie out there, so I can't do anything to draw a conclusion now."

Lin Daoqiu was quite a thief. He didn't give He Guanchang an accurate answer, but it sounded like he wasn't very confident in the comic adaptation.

He Guanchang, who had already made up his mind to film "Dragon and Tiger Gate", started to murmur in his heart after seeing Lin Daoqiu's reaction.

"But there must be people who want to eat crabs. Boss Huang and I have decided to be the first to eat crabs. If Jiahe wants to follow up, of course I will welcome it."

Lin Daoqiu did not hide it from He Guanchang that he was indeed working on a comic book movie, because even if he concealed it, it would be useless. He believed that Jiahe already knew about it.

In this case, why bother doing useless things? It's better to be more open-minded.

"Since Mr. Lin has said this, Jiahe naturally does not want to fall behind others. Although 70 million is a lot of money, Jiahe can still afford it."

He Guanchang looked confident when he said this.

Although Jiahe has declined a lot compared to before, it does not mean that they are willing to continue to sink like this. Gu

"Since Jiahe is also willing to be a pioneer, then I will naturally provide all conveniences."

Shui Lin Daoqiu, who Jiahe wanted to do comic adaptation, naturally wouldn't refuse, and it was decided that Zhong Chuhong would play the heroine.

Golden Harvest is quite generous in terms of remuneration. This time they offered Zhong Chuhong a salary of two million.

But if Brigitte Lin was asked to play the role, at least five million would have to be spent.

"Mr. Li should read more about the comic "Dragon and Tiger Gate" during this period. After all, there are many fans of this comic in Xiangjiang. If the essence of the comic can be performed, the audience will definitely support it. .”

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your advice. Jiahe has obtained all the contents of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" serialized so far from Boss Huang. During this time, I will study this comic and do my best to perform the show well."

Jet Li is actually a very smart person, but if he were to play Wang Xiaolong, Lin Daoqiu didn't think he was a suitable candidate.

But this movie is a movie invested by Golden Harvest to support Jet Li, so Lin Daoqiu will naturally not talk too much about it. As for the box office performance, it will depend on their ability.

He Guanchang did not stay to eat. After a brief chat with Lin Daoqiu, he left with Jet Li.

He didn't come here to have a drink, he just came here to see Lin Daoqiu. Now that the matter is done, he will naturally retire.

Walking out of the lounge, the scene was already bustling.

The protagonists of the housewarming party were originally supposed to be Zhong Chuhong and her family, but now everyone's eyes or attention are almost all on Lin Daoqiu.

"Who do you think Jiahe will find as a martial arts instructor when filming "Dragon and Tiger Gate"?"

The Hong Jia Ban has already filmed "Heroes of China". If Golden Harvest wants to shoot "Dragon and Tiger Gate", it is unlikely that the Hong Jia Ban will go to the Hong Jia Ban, unless they really can't find a suitable martial arts team.

"Yuan Jia Ban, right? If I were Jiahe, I would probably go to Ba Ye. After all, Yuan Jia Ban is a martial arts team as famous as Hong Jia Ban in Xiangjiang."

In Zhong Chuhong's opinion, if Jiahe does not find Hong Jia Ban, then Jiahe will definitely go to Yuan Heping's Yuan Jia Ban to cooperate.

But just as she finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly smiled at her.

"The Yuan family wanted to help me shoot "The Wind and Cloud", so they couldn't help Jiahe shoot "Dragon and Tiger Gate"."

Zhong Chuhong did not expect that such a situation would occur. Without Hong Jiaban and Yuan Jiaban, Jiahe's range of choices became very small.

The Married Family Class is now helping Jackie Chan in Hollywood filming, the Hong Family Class is helping Huang Yulang film "Heroes of China", and the Yuan Family Class has been selected by Lin Daoqiu to film "The Storm".

So now the only relatively famous martial arts team left is the Liu Jia Ban.

But what Liu Jiaban shoots is real kung fu. If Liu Jialiang is to direct this kind of comic book movie, will he adapt to it? Or will Liu Jiaban's style be suitable for this type of movie?

"Let Mr. Zou and the others worry about this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me."

Lin Daoqiu just suddenly remembered this problem, but he never thought about helping Jiahe solve this problem.

After all, the only option left is Liu Jiaban, unless Jiahe finds another way and finds someone else to cooperate, in which case it would be quite interesting.
