Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

McDonald's favor was actually nothing to Lin Daoqiu. Lin Daoqiu had even guessed the name of the script he wanted to read.

"Okay, there's nothing to do now anyway, so let me enjoy it."

Lin Daoqiu agreed without much thought, which made McDonald very happy.

Speaking of who is the most discerning person in the Hong Kong film industry at this time, I believe this person must be Lin Daoqiu.

Regardless of whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as it is produced by Lin Daoqiu, it will definitely have extremely high box office and ratings. This was something McDonald experienced with his own eyes a few years ago.

Although McDonald is very confident about the drama "Pretty Girl", it would be great for him if he can get Lin Daoqiu's approval.

He took out the script of "Pretty Girl" from the cabinet next to him, and then respectfully handed the script into Lin Daoqiu's hands.

When Lin Daoqiu took the script handed over by McDonald and looked down, although his face did not appear to have changed at all, Lin Daoqiu actually felt a little want to laugh in his heart.

Because this drama is exactly the "Pretty Girl" he had guessed before, and the screenwriter of this drama has not changed, it is Wen Jun, so Lin Daoqiu believes that this is the "Pretty Girl" he watched in his previous life.

When Lin Daoqiu was reading the script, the surroundings were quiet, and McDonald and the others did not talk casually for fear of disturbing Lin Daoqiu's thoughts.

After more than ten minutes, Lin Daoqiu finished reading the script and put the notebook on the table.

Lin Daoqiu's current drama "Beautiful Girl" is not much different from the plot of the previous life. It tells the story of a group of troubled girls.

I'm afraid even McDonald himself didn't expect that this movie, which was neither funny nor action-packed, and even the love story in it ended in tragedy, could earn over 10 million at the box office when it was released.

Moreover, because of its bold exposure of social problems in Hong Kong, the film caused great controversy when it was released.

"You plan to use "Pretty Girl" as your film company's opening film?"

Lin Daoqiu raised his head and looked at McDonald and asked.

It was hard to tell from Lin Daoqiu's expression whether he agreed or opposed McDonald's idea.

"I discussed this story with Wen Jun when he was writing it. When he finished writing it and showed it to me, I was immediately attracted by the story and decided at that time that I must write it.

The whole drama will be filmed.”

As a unique guy, McDonald's things he does are completely different from others, so he would regard "Pretty Girl" as his own film company's entrepreneurial work. This seems to be acceptable.

matter.

"If you think it's good, then go ahead and make it. I think this movie is pretty good, but whether the audience will appreciate it is still unknown."

It is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to tell McDonald that your movie will earn more than 10 million at the box office after filming, but he can't undermine the other party's confidence too much. The best way is to make McDonald feel that he has nothing

Neither good nor bad.

"As long as I can get Mr. Lin's approval, it is the greatest encouragement to me. There is something else I want to discuss with Mr. Lin."

Lin Daoqiu nodded directly.

"My film company wants to join New Oriental, I don't know..."

Of course, McDonald would not use his own money to make movies. His idea was actually very simple, to set up a movie company and then become a satellite company of New Oriental like New Art City and Wenjun.

"No problem. Send me an invitation when the company opens, and I will go and cheer for you."

If McDonald wants to join New Oriental, Lin Daoqiu will naturally not refuse. After all, he is indeed a rare talent.

Once McDonald joins New Oriental, he can fill New Oriental's gap in realistic biopics.

Xiangjiang movies need some different elements. Although kung fu action and comedy movies will be the mainstream of the movie market for a long time, a sound movie market still requires literary and artistic films to satisfy other different audiences.

taste.

In the end, if a hundred schools of thought can come together, that is what Lin Daoqiu hopes to see the most, but this dream is still a long way to go for him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin..."

The boulder in McDonald's ambitions finally fell to the ground.

Now that Lin Daoqiu is a big financial backer behind him, there will be no problem in whatever movies he wants to make in the future, but the prerequisite is that the script must satisfy Lin Daoqiu.

Wen Jun had mentioned these to McDonald before, and he had secretly remembered them in his heart.

…………

"You have to go and rehearse in advance for the Academy Awards broadcast. You must do what I said before, otherwise all the things I said before will not count."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want McDonald's to throw the matter of the Academy Awards aside just because he was about to resign.

If something goes wrong during the broadcast of the Academy Awards, then Lin Daoqiu's fault will definitely fall on McDonald.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we have already memorized what you just said. We will rehearse in advance before the Academy Awards broadcast and we will make sure everything is perfect."

McDonald knew very well that Lin Daoqiu attached great importance to the first Academy Awards ceremony. Otherwise, he would not have gone to ATV in person to discuss matters related to the broadcast.

And he has no doubt that if something goes wrong with the Academy Awards, his dream of entering the film industry may have to be put on hold for a while.

"Okay, no need to send me off, you can go and do your work."

Lin Daoqiu waved his hand to tell Mai Dangxiong and others to stop, and then led Fang Jinsheng down the stairs.

I don't know why, Lin Daoqiu liked to take the stairs rather than take the elevator when he was working at Li's before or at ATV now. This has always been something McDonald and the others didn't understand.

…………

"Jiahui, how can you be so calm when you meet the producers and directors? I remember when I met the directors and producers during my first audition, my body was shaking all the time, and I couldn't calm down at all."

As newcomers to ATV, Ni Shibei and Guan Jiahui were selected to co-star in a youth romance TV series "Twenty-Four Sweet Flavors".

During the audition, Ni Shibei and Guan Jiahui were together, but their reactions were completely different.

Ni Shibei was very nervous from beginning to end, and she was cautious when speaking. Although she has acted in some movies before, she still inevitably gets nervous.

On the other hand, Guan Jiahui, who auditioned with her, looked so down-to-earth and generous. It was impossible to imagine that she was only 19 years old this year, and this was just her first TV series.

"It's actually nothing. You just need to get used to it in the future."

"You are really amazing. It seems like you were born to be an actor. Is this what they often say, the ancestors reward you with food?"

Ni Shibei's praise did not make Guan Jiahui beside her feel much because she didn't think it was anything remarkable.

And when they were walking upstairs, they happened to meet Lin Daoqiu walking down from above in the stairwell.
