Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"'Miss Modern'?"

On the third day, Brigitte Lin received the script from Jiahe.

As He Guanchang said, this is indeed a funny movie.

However, she always felt something strange after reading the script, but she couldn't tell what went wrong.

"I think this play was not originally called "Miss Modern", it should be called "Mr. Modern" or something like that."

Lin Daoqiu was reading the script at this time.

He had never even heard of this play. I'm afraid it was a script that Jiahe took out of someone's warehouse.

This was probably written while following the trend of modern comedy films, but the quality was too poor, so Golden Harvest didn't make it in the end.

"Ah? Is that really the case?"

Lin Qingxia felt baffled. Since Jiahe wanted to hire herself to make a movie, why would she do this? This really made her confused.

But that's not what Lin Daoqiu cares about, and it seems that he is very interested in this script.

"Then do you think I should take this film?"

Lin Qingxia didn't understand either, so she had to ask Lin Daoqiu for help, hoping that he would help her give her an idea.

"If it's this script, then I advise you not to act in it."

The reason why this drama was not filmed is because the plot was forced and the logic did not make sense at all, and some funny scenes were forcibly added. Even if it was filmed, it would be a disappointment.

Lin Daoqiu was very sure that Zou Wenhuai's purpose was to help him revise it after reading it, and even help Brigitte Lin write a script.

The other party's calculations are quite loud, but the most critical part of this question is, why does Brigitte Lin have to accept Golden Harvest's movie?

After closing the script, Lin Daoqiu had more or less guessed what Zou Wenhuai was thinking.

I'm afraid he is not confident, but is testing his attitude towards Jiahe.

Rather than inviting Brigitte Lin to act in a movie, it is better to say that he is using this method to test whether he and Jiahe will collaborate again.

After all, I have now helped Run Run Shaw film "Mission Impossible".

With such a huge investment in this drama, if it achieves a high box office, Run Run Shaw will definitely try his best to continue cooperating with Shaw Brothers.

Moreover, in addition to the Shaw Brothers, there was also Lei Juekun, who was watching eagerly. I believe Zou Wenhuai had seen the news about his meeting with Lei Juekun.

So he couldn't sit still and began to test the relationship between himself and Jiahe in this way.

Will they continue to cooperate, or will they stop with "Five Lucky Stars"?

But these are just Lin Daoqiu's speculations after all. Maybe Zou Wenhuai really just asked Brigitte Lin to help him write the script in the name of inviting Brigitte Lin.

"If that's the case, then... I'll call Mr. He later and find a reason to reject him."

If it were in the past, Brigitte Lin would not have thought so much, and she might have agreed to take on this drama out of love.

But it's different now. With Lin Daoqiu here, she doesn't need to worry about these things.

"Refuse? Why refuse?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head and said, "Let me make this call, otherwise Mr. He will be disappointed."

Lin Qingxia couldn't understand what Lin Daoqiu meant. Didn't he say that the script was not good? Why did he suddenly change his mind now?

Seeing Lin Qingxia looking at him with confusion, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to explain the matter to her.

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Brigitte Lin realized that it was He Guanchang and the others who had this idea.

"How could they do this? They want to use my fame and want you to write a script. They are so greedy."

The movie Jiahe has been filmed, and "Mission: Impossible" will probably be released as well.

By then Brigitte Lin will definitely be many times more popular in Hong Kong than she is now.

It can be said that asking her to make a movie now is equivalent to making money from scratch, so it is actually normal for Jiahe to have such an idea.

There are a lot of smart people in Hong Kong. Once a certain type of movie suddenly achieves high box office, a group of movies will immediately appear to follow suit.

If you talk to them about art or the quality of movies, no one will pay attention to you. Only the box office is the most important thing to them.

"There are only a few film studios that can afford you in the future, and Jiahe is one of them. It's not a bad thing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with them."

"You're right, then you can do whatever you want. I'll listen to you anyway."

Brigitte Lin didn't know how Hong Kong's film landscape would change in the future, but she wasn't in the habit of making decisions, so she left everything to Lin Daoqiu.

Although "Mission Impossible" may bring a lot of money to Shaw Brothers, Lin Daoqiu has no intention of letting Shaw Brothers continue to exist.

After all, the large-scale studio system like Shaw Brothers has come to an end. Now it can be said that Shaw Brothers has reached the end of its glory, and it will end in just a few years.

When the time comes, Run Run Shaw and Fong Yihua will naturally shift their focus to TVB. As for Shaw Brothers Cinemas, they will take over it themselves.

However, Lin Daoqiu and no one mentioned this matter. After all, it is impossible to win the Shaw Brothers Cinema without hundreds of millions.

And if Uncle Six knew that he had this idea, I don’t know what he would think.

…………

When he received Lin Daoqiu's call, He Guanchang was actually prepared to be rejected by the other party.

Because they really found that "Miss Modern" from the warehouse.

Moreover, the original name of this drama was not called "Modern Miss". Zou Wenhuai hired a screenwriter to slightly modify the drama.

As for the mechanical and illogical parts in it, it is because the changes were made too hastily.

Moreover, this drama was originally a male-dominated movie, but now it is suddenly changed to have a female as the leading role, unless it is rewritten.

Otherwise, there will definitely be many places in it that would make people feel strange.

"Mr. He, if you have time, why not come out and have a cup of tea."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say whether he agreed or not, but just asked He Guanchang out for tea.

"It would be my honor to invite Mr. Lin to tea."

Although He Guanchang didn't know why Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him to have tea, this was a good sign.

If the other party wants to refuse, just make up any reason, and Jiahe has nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu now.

After all, if Shaw Brothers adds a golden princess, Jiahe will be big enough.

If Lin Daoqiu is allowed to help Princess Jin make a few films at this time, it will definitely help Lei Juekun attract a lot of viewers, and Jiahe will definitely be greatly affected by then.

So now we must have a good relationship with Lin Daoqiu, after all, the initiative is no longer in their hands.

And when he reported this matter to Zou Wenhuai, a happy smile finally appeared on his face.

"If he is willing to cooperate with us, he should try his best to rely on large-scale productions. We at Golden Harvest can afford tens of millions."
