Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"You plan to let Sylvia Chang play the role of a man-in-law?"

Although the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face seemed surprised, in fact, there was not even the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Because as a time traveler, Lin Daoqiu has watched "The Best Partner" countless times, so naturally he would not be surprised that Sylvia Chang joined the drama.

But in front of Mai Jia and Huang Baiming, Lin Daoqiu still had to pretend to be frightened by their decision.

After all, the roles played by Sylvia Chang before have always been typical women who are gentle, graceful and tender.

Now she is suddenly asked to change her style drastically and play the role of a man-in-law. I am afraid that audiences who are familiar with Sylvia Chang will be frightened when they see this scene.

"Yes, I believe Mr. Lin didn't expect it either. What we thought at the time was that it would be boring to find a real man to play this role, but if we find a beautiful woman to play it, it would create a strong contrasting effect and make Zhang

It would be perfect for the young lady to play this role."

Although the filming of this drama has not started yet and they are only doing the preliminary preparation work, in the eyes of Mai Jia and Huang Baiming, there will definitely be no problem for Sylvia Chang to play this role.

Because in the past few days, they had talked with Zhang Sijia many times and found that Zhang Sijia had many ideas that they had not had before.

The role of the man-in-law has also become more colorful because of the addition of Sylvia Chang, and is no longer as dry as they imagined before.

This made the guys at New Art City feel that inviting Sylvia Chang to New Art City was definitely a very right choice.

"I heard that Miss Zhang accepted your invitation to join New Art City?"

Lin Daoqiu had heard about this matter from Fang Jinsheng before, but even if Fang Jinsheng didn't tell Lin Daoqiu, he knew that they would definitely do this.

"Yes, we all agree that Ms. Zhang's joining New Art City will be of great help to us in our future creations. After all, we are all rough and tumble, and we don't look at problems as meticulously as she does."

Mai Jia originally planned to give it a try at the beginning, and then talk about it if it didn't work, but now it seems that Zhang Sijia is really an unexpected surprise for them.

"Congratulations on getting a great general. I believe this movie will definitely complement each other with the addition of Ms. Zhang."

Lin Daoqiu did not intend to make any further comments on this matter. Sylvia Chang was indeed of great help to New Art City in its early stages, and having her join could neutralize the thoughts between them.

Lin Daoqiu also briefly read the script that Huang Baiming brought, and found that the plot was basically the same as in the previous movie, but this was just a very general script.

New Art City Film's creations are all perfected while filming, so the script Lin Daoqiu has in his hands now can only be regarded as something more detailed than an outline.

If they were asked to film according to the script exactly as it was, the effect would definitely not be as good as what they had done on the spot, so Lin Daoqiu would naturally not ask them to film according to the script exactly as it was, which would be a bit overwhelming.

But today they came to Lin Daoqiu. In addition to showing him the script, they also wanted to ask Lin Daoqiu for help with one thing, and that was about special effects.

Tsui Hark had told them before that if they wanted Magic Studio to help them with the special effects, the production cost of the film would be at least 50 million.

Although what Tsui Hark said at the time was a bit exaggerated, if you want to make a special effects movie with a production cost of 10 million, then it can be said that even if they make it, the effect will be very limited.

Moreover, I am afraid that even Tsui Hark and the others would not be able to get the production fee of 10 million, and would have to deduct part of it as salary.

"Lao Xu went to Magic Studio to study some time ago. After he came back, he felt that if we could add some special effects to the movie, it would definitely be of great help to the movie."

Mai Jia is just lying with open eyes. Tsui Hark has never said such a thing, and it is even more unlikely for him to have such an idea after knowing the money required to make a special effects movie, even if he really wants to make one.

A special effects movie.

After Mai Jia finished speaking, he and Huang Baiming stared at Lin Daoqiu nervously. In fact, he just said these words to test Lin Daoqiu's attitude.

If the other party refuses, then they have no choice but to give up, but if Lin Daoqiu agrees, then they will make a fortune in vain, it is just a word, so why not do it.

"Special effects? Are you planning to add special effects to this movie?"

After listening to Mai Jia's words, Lin Daoqiu's face immediately showed a strange expression, because he did not expect these guys to be so whimsical and want to add special effects to "The Best Partner".

You must know that the production cost of this movie is only 10 million, and as far as Lin Daoqiu knows, Xu Guanjie will also get a share of 2 million in salary.

It's still unknown how much money will be left to film this movie. They actually want to add special effects to it, which makes Lin Daoqiu not know what to say.

"Yes, we want to have some special effects scenes in the final battle with White Gloves. The audience will definitely be shocked after watching it."

The two nodded desperately, and it seemed that they both agreed that this idea was great.

But unfortunately, they didn't notice that when they were talking about these things in high spirits, the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face had changed from surprise to indifference.

"Are you done?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Mai Jia and Huang Baiming and asked slowly.

These two guys originally planned to continue talking, but when they heard Lin Daoqiu's question, they immediately shut up because they both felt that Lin Daoqiu seemed not interested in their suggestion.

"The production cost of this movie is only 10 million. Do you know how much it will cost to add special effects? Don't expect me to invest money in it. 10 million is already the bottom line. You should understand what I mean.

Bar?"

Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to spoil them like this. If the first part is shot like this, what will happen to the subsequent ones? I'm afraid that the production cost of the sequel to "The Best Partner" will only continue to rise.

But the problem is that the box office base is only so large, and this movie cannot be sold to Hollywood, so it is already destined that this movie can only invest so much, and if it is more, it will just be a waste.

"We all understand Mr. Lin."

As soon as Mai Jia and Huang Baiming saw Lin Daoqiu's expression, they knew that the special effects matter had gone cold, so they had to put this unrealistic idea aside for the time being.
