Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Previously, Lin Daoqiu gave Mel and John a Christmas holiday so that they could spend time with their families and take a break.

Although this will slow down the filming progress of "The Mummy", Lin Daoqiu doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

Because he plans to release this movie on Christmas Day at the end of the year, which means there are still eleven months left, which is quite generous.

However, it was precisely because Lin Daoqiu gave them a long vacation that Mel and John worked harder than before when they came back.

"The filming of this movie is almost finished. Why don't I have any action scenes yet? Did you play tricks on me before?"

On this day, Lin Daoqiu came to visit Brigitte Lin's class, and was suddenly called to a corner for questioning.

It turns out that when Brigitte Lin returned to Xiangjiang from Baodao, Lin Daoqiu once asked her to train for a month. At first, Brigitte Lin thought it was because this drama had its own fighting scene, so Lin Daoqiu asked her to do this.

But now that the movie is almost finished filming, she has not even filmed an action scene. She feels that she was deceived by Lin Daoqiu in the first place.

"Why did I fool you? You didn't even look at your belly at that time. If you didn't know better, you would have thought you were pregnant."

After Lin Daoqiu heard Brigitte Lin say this, he immediately showed an exaggerated expression and made gestures with his hands.

"It was then, and who knows now whether I might have it in my belly."

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she gave Lin Daoqiu a fierce look.

In the past, Brigitte Lin wouldn't take Lin Daoqiu's nonsense seriously because nothing had happened to them at that time.

But things are different now. During this period of time, she has been stuck with Lin Daoqiu almost every day, and this guy doesn't use any protective measures. God knows when he will suddenly be attacked.

She didn't mind getting married to Lin Daoqiu, but the problem now was that Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to have any intention of marrying her, which made Brigitte Lin very distressed.

If she is really unfortunate enough to be infected, she must give birth to the child no matter what.

Lin Daoqiu was originally joking with Brigitte Lin, but when he saw the other party's serious expression, he really thought something was really wrong with Brigitte Lin.

"It can't be true, can it?"

Lin Daoqiu started to get nervous now. If Lin Qingxia really had it now, he didn't know what to do.

Lin Daoqiu is only in his early twenties now. If he were asked to get married now, he really wouldn't be able to nod his head.

"You know you're afraid, right? Since you know what I was afraid of doing in the first place, asking you to take some measures is like killing you. I won't be able to control you so much when something happens."

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she turned around and left angrily, leaving Lin Daoqiu speechless.

I don't know if the other party is having trouble today. I have been very well-behaved recently. This can also make her angry. Could it be that she is not feeling well today, that's why she has such a weird temper?

However, Lin Daoqiu was just guessing, and he did not dare to ask Brigitte Lin if a relative was here. After all, the other party was angry now, so it was better not to provoke her, so as not to be scolded later.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu walked out, he met Dykstra.

"Hey Mr. Lin, I was planning to go find you but I didn't expect to meet you here. Since it's such a coincidence, why not come to my office and have a chat."

When Lin Daoqiu saw Dykstra's appearance, his heart suddenly trembled, because Dykstra was usually busy studying special effects technology and had never taken the initiative to chat with him.

It seems that this guy has been burning through money a bit too fast recently. I'm afraid it's because the funds are about to be burned out, so he took the initiative to invite me.

"Okay, then let's go to your office and have a chat."

If it was a few months ago, Lin Daoqiu might have been very worried about how to explain the funding issue to the other party.

But now the situation is completely different, because Lin Daoqiu's pocket can be said to be very full now.

"Home Alone" has just made 300 million in box office in North America, and Lin Daoqiu has received 120 million in box office revenue from Universal this time.

After deducting the 7 million given to Carls, Lin Daoqiu still has more than 100 million US dollars, not to mention "Home Alone" and subsequent peripheral income of at least tens of millions, so Lin Daoqiu is still very confident when he speaks now

of.

When Lin Daoqiu followed Dykstra to his office, he sincerely made Lin Daoqiu a cup of coffee himself.

Looking at this posture, Lin Daoqiu was sure that the other party was either a traitor or a thief.

In fact, Dykstra has nothing to do. He has indeed been burning money a bit fast recently, but there is a reason for this.

Originally, all his funds were spent on researching special effects technology, but Lin Daoqiu suddenly arranged two movies for him, "Godzilla" and "The Mummy".

As a result, the funds that should have been used to research special effects were instead invested in the production of these two movies.

And compared to "The Mummy," "Godzilla" burned through money at such a rate that even Dykstra himself was shocked.

If he hadn't asked Lin Daoqiu repeatedly for instructions, he would never have imagined that he would have agreed to spend so much money to create a monster movie.

"Mr. Lin, the remaining funds of Magic Studio are less than 10 million US dollars. If we continue at our current work progress, the studio's funds will dry up in March."

Dykstra did not mean that 10 million would last for two months. What he said was actually a very conservative estimate.

Because even he himself didn't know how much the Magic Studio would cost tomorrow, so he came to Lin Daoqiu to ask for money in advance.

And Dykstra actually felt a little guilty when he said it, because when he was filming Star Wars, he thought he was burning money very quickly.

But it wasn't until he opened this magic studio that Dykstra realized that the money they spent back then was nothing compared to what it is now.

"I promised to provide a fund to Magic Studio every year, and this year is of course no exception. But John, can you spend the money a little slower? You know we haven't even produced a single work."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu still doesn't know the progress of Magic Studio's special effects. At least he won't have a general impression until "The Mummy" is completed.

When Dykstra heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he smiled sheepishly. He didn't know if he had listened to Lin Daoqiu's words.

However, Lin Daoqiu did not expect Dykstra to slow down his money burning. When he left, he left another 30 million US dollars to Magic Studio.

When he heard Lin Daoqiu's decision, Dykstra smiled very happily, because it meant that he had money to continue doing research.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured. After the production of "The Mummy" is completed, I guarantee that the special effects in this movie will definitely make you jaw-dropping."

Before Lin Daoqiu went out, Dykstra still left a reassurance for Lin Daoqiu, which gave Lin Daoqiu some comfort.
