Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"What's wrong? You're not even sure of winning 20 million yuan at the box office, how can you compare with New Art City?"

Lin Daoqiu knew from the expressions on Wen Jun's and the others' faces that these two guys had no confidence in being able to make a movie with a box office of over 20 million.

"Brother Qiu, you may think that a box office of 20 million is nothing, but to us, this is simply an astronomical figure. Don't think that everyone is like you."

Wen Juan spoke softer and quieter. He felt that Lin Daoqiu's expectations for them were a bit too high.

If they were really sure that they could make a movie with a box office of over 20 million, they wouldn't have any intention of comparing it with New Art City.

"I have an idea here. It's not impossible for you to film it, but if the box office doesn't reach 20 million by then..."

"Leave it to Brother Qiu to kill or chop him as you please."

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu was willing to write a script for them, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were so happy that they almost stood up from their chairs with excitement.

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu basically no longer writes scripts in Xiangjiang. His focus is now on Hollywood, while Xiangjiang allows everyone to express themselves freely.

"Don't be so excited, you two. This is just an idea of ​​mine. Even if it is written into a script, the three of you will have to write it. I will not participate in the creation of the script."

Lin Daoqiu is too lazy to do it now. He will not write the script himself if it is not necessary. He only gives a few ideas to Wen Juan and others to develop on their own. Wouldn't it save more time and effort?

"Brother Qiu, tell us, we are listening."

Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui quickly sat down and looked at Lin Daoqiu seriously, wanting to put their ears to Lin Daoqiu's mouth, wanting to hear every word he said next.

"Ah Sheng is a very unlucky guy. Ever since his parents died when he was three years old, he has been unlucky everywhere. He was forced to live in his uncle's house since he was a child. He couldn't find a job for a long time.

He only worked for less than three days, and what is even more intolerable is that all the people who are good to him or care about him will be affected by his bad luck, and even the people who ask him to work will suffer misfortune."

The Ah Sheng mentioned by Lin Daoqiu naturally refers to Fu Sheng, after all, he is the leading actor in this drama.

When Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui heard this, they couldn't help showing disgusted expressions. If the protagonist is so unlucky, will the audience like to watch it?

"And Ah Sheng is so unlucky that he always loses every time he bets. No matter how he plays, it's the same. Even if the other party deliberately cheats, there is no way for Ah Sheng to win."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui noticed the smell, because it was completely different from their previous thoughts.

In fact, this drama is "The Gambler 2002" produced by Wang Jing and starring Nick Cheung.

When it was released in 2002, it only achieved dismal results of 1.46 million, ranking only 43rd in the year.

It stands to reason that Lin Daoqiu should not have thought of asking Wang Jing and others to make this movie, which seems to be a loss-making movie.

But in fact, this movie was really bad at the time, and that was because many God of Gamblers movies had been made before, and piracy was rampant at that time, and the world of Hong Kong movies was very bad.

The combination of these many factors resulted in the play not being accepted by the audience at the time.

But things are different now. This is an era before even the God of Gamblers was born. If this movie were filmed now, it might have a different effect.

Moreover, even if "The Gambler 2002" is made, it will not have any impact on current movies, so Lin Daoqiu wanted to try and see what kind of results they would have if Wang Jing and the others made this movie.

"Then you can have Xie Xian play a very powerful gambling expert, arrange for him to duel with some very powerful villain at the beginning, and win the opponent and become the king of gambling, etc., and then let the villain take revenge and defeat him with dirty tricks.

Xie Xian, but Ah Sheng saved Xie Xian from a serious injury by chance. Finally, Xie Xian saw that Ah Sheng was kind-hearted, so he taught him gambling skills and found out the reason why he was unlucky."

Lin Daoqiu briefly explained the requirements to Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui. It was actually not complicated, and they should be able to remember it with their current minds.

Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui had listened with their ears stretched out, and they immediately remembered what Lin Daoqiu said.

This story sounds very simple, but it is also quite interesting. As long as the image of Ah Sheng, the unlucky guy, is well portrayed, it will definitely get a very good response.

"Thank you, Brother Qiu. We will go back and write the script with Wang Jing right now."

Before arriving, the two of them were still in a very low mood, but after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, the two of them seemed to come to life all of a sudden, and their faces were all radiant.

"Remember, if this drama doesn't get 20 million by then, you have to figure out what to do first."

Lin Daoqiu was just scaring them. He wouldn't say anything even if the drama didn't break through 10 million, because it was just a test product of Lin Daoqiu.

But Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui don't think so. You must know that this is the idea that Lin Daoqiu came up with for them. If they can't even get 20 million at the box office, it would be ridiculous.

"Don't worry, Brother Qiu, let alone 20 million. Maybe we can get a box office of over 30 million like "Modern Bodyguard" by then. Just wait and see."

The confidence of Wen Jun and others can be described as overwhelming, and they all believe that with the script given by Lin Daoqiu, they will definitely be able to overwhelm New Art City this time.

"Okay, since you are so confident, then I will increase the budget for you to three million, and go ahead and shoot it."

It seems that I can no longer scare them, but this may be a good thing. After all, being confident when filming will also ensure the quality of the film. I just don’t know what kind of film they will make in the end.

Lin Daoqiu was looking forward to the arrival of something.

After sending Wen Juan and the others away, Lin Daoqiu's office welcomed another visitor. However, this person seemed to have a bad temper. As soon as she entered the door, she sat directly opposite Lin Daoqiu and looked at her expressionlessly.

Hold him.

Logically speaking, Lin Daoqiu should be very angry when the other party was so rude, but the strange thing was that at this time, Lin Daoqiu did not show any expression of dissatisfaction, but instead looked at the other party with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, if I don't come today, do you plan to wait until the day of the award ceremony to meet me?"

Yu's anger could be felt from the tone of her voice.

There was a reason why she was so angry, and the culprit who made her so angry that she lost her etiquette was none other than Lin Daoqiu, who was sitting opposite her.
