Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

To be noticed by Lin Daoqiu and named as the protagonist is definitely an exciting thing for an actor.

At this time, Jackie Chan had not yet reached the achievements of later generations, and his current title also added a kung fu star.

After being sent to Hollywood by Golden Harvest to film the blockbuster "The Killer", Jackie Chan understood even more how difficult it is for a Chinese to succeed in Hollywood, but Lin Daoqiu did it, and he did it better than anyone else.

better.

If this drama is a movie for Hollywood, then not only can he wash away the criticism caused by "The Trench", but he might also become a world-class star.

When he thought of this, Jackie Chan had an irresistible impulse. Without even thinking about it, he nodded and agreed to Lin Daoqiu's invitation.

Although he still has a new movie in hand, for Jackie Chan, as long as he can participate in Lin Daoqiu's movie, he can stop his own movie first. I believe that even Jiahe will not have any objections.

Yes, they even wished that Lin Daoqiu would write more movies for them.

"Being able to cooperate with Mr. Lin has always been my dream. As long as Mr. Lin thinks I can do it, I will have no problem here."

Jackie Chan looked very excited, and even Deng Jingsheng beside him was happy for him.

Because of his role as screenwriter, Deng Jingsheng often had to be on standby at the scene, ready to revise the script lines at any time, so he could see Jackie Chan's serious attitude towards the movie.

Compared with others, Jackie Chan is the most dedicated actor he has ever seen. He is also agile and mentally flexible. Being an actor is like being a breadwinner to his ancestor.

For such an outstanding young man, Deng Jingsheng felt that it was only natural that he would succeed.

"Thank you very much, Aaron. The name of this drama is "Police Story". The protagonist is named Chen Jiaju. His identity is a Hong Kong Royal Policeman..."

Lin Daoqiu began to talk about the plot of "Police Story" with Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan and Deng Jingsheng listened carefully.

Chen Jiaju, a policeman who has received special police training, handles cases with integrity and works hard. During a certain siege, Chen Jiaju arrested the drug lord Zhu Tao. However, due to the sudden disappearance of the witness, he was unable to be brought to justice, so Chen Jiaju was demoted.

Afterwards, Zhu Tao, who was filled with hatred, wanted to retaliate against Chen Jiaju, so he designed to lure him to the villa where Salina was imprisoned, and sent his men to kill a policeman to blame him, so that Chen Jiaju could only go into exile under the police's notice.

Salina, who had a chance to escape, understood Zhu Tao's unscrupulous nature. In order to protect herself, she took the risk and sneaked into Zhu Tao's office to steal evidence. However, she was chased by his men to the mall. Chen Jiaju arrived in time and started a fierce battle with Zhu Tao's men.

.

The storyline of this drama is not complicated. An upright policeman is framed and blamed, and finally fights back to punish the bad guys.

But because of Jackie Chan's life-threatening work attitude, this drama has become an insurmountable classic.

However, Jackie Chan and Deng Jingsheng still can't see what is special about this drama. They even have some doubts that this drama was not written by Lin Daoqiu.

"Aaron, this drama is not simple. There are many scenes in it that are difficult and thrilling, such as driving down the mountain at the beginning, the bus chase, and the final battle in the shopping mall. Each one is more thrilling than the last. If you feel that you

If it doesn't work, I won't force you."

Lin Daoqiu said that these were just to motivate the generals. This move could not be easier to use for the young and energetic Jackie Chan.

"Mr. Lin, it seems that you underestimate me a little. I don't know if others can do these thrilling scenes, but I, Jackie Chan, will be fine."

Jackie Chan patted his chest and assured Lin Daoqiu that what he liked most was to accept challenges, and the more exciting the movie, the more he would be full of fighting spirit.

Deng Jingsheng could see that Lin Daoqiu was trying to provoke Jackie Chan, but what he did was probably a good thing for the film, so even if he saw it, he wouldn't say anything more.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I wish our cooperation a success."

After Lin Daoqiu solemnly shook hands with Jackie Chan, the matter was settled, and now only the issue of remuneration remained.

The investor of this drama is naturally Lin Daoqiu. Even if others want to intervene, it is impossible for others to intervene. I believe Jiahe will not have such an idea.

"Now there are two ways of sharing and getting paid. I wonder which one do you want, Aaron?"

Jackie Chan's cooperation with Jiahe has always been 50/50 before, but this time the situation is a little different because the person he is cooperating with is Lin Daoqiu.

The other party had provided the script and funds, and if he wanted to share half of it, Jackie Chan himself felt that the other party would not agree.

"Mr. Lin can make the decision on this matter. I believe you won't let me suffer."

Jackie Chan was too lazy to think about it, he simply left the decision-making power on this matter to Lin Daoqiu, and this was a very correct choice.

"I'll give you a salary of three million for this movie, or a 20% share. It's your choice, Aaron."

A salary of three million was considered a sky-high salary in Hong Kong at this time, so Lin Daoqiu definitely did not let Jackie Chan suffer.

The reason why he was given so much remuneration was because this drama was too dangerous, so it was appropriate to give him more money.

The reason why New Arts City gave Xu Guanjie three million before was mainly to use the other party's reputation to attract more viewers to the venue.

But "Police Story" is different. In this drama, Lin Daoqiu does not need to borrow Jackie Chan's fame, because just these three words Lin Daoqiu can already attract a lot of viewers.

"I choose to share."

Three million is not a lot at all. As far as Jackie Chan knows, the only person who can get a salary of three million in Hong Kong at this time is Xu Guanjie.

But he believed that with Lin Daoqiu's ability, the 20% share of this drama would definitely be worth more than three million, so he planned to take a gamble.

"Okay, if that's the case, then ask Aaron to come to New Oriental tomorrow to sign a contract."

Regardless of whether Jackie Chan chooses to get a share of the film or a salary, this is not a problem at all for Lin Daoqiu. Anyway, his biggest idea for this film is to fulfill his previous promise to Lu Dingtang.

As for how much money this drama can make, this is already a secondary issue for Lin Daoqiu.

"If you don't mind, Mr. Deng, I would like to ask you to be the screenwriter of this play."

The script written by Lin Daoqiu is just a rough outline. The specific plot and how to shoot need to be perfected by others. Deng Jingsheng is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

"Can I...can I?"

Deng Jingsheng did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would take the initiative to invite him to participate in the production of "Police Story".

"Of course there is no problem. I believe that with Mr. Deng joining us, we can definitely make this movie even better."

Jackie Chan originally wanted to mention this matter to Lin Daoqiu, because Deng Jingsheng knew what he wanted very well, so the arrangement was very satisfactory to Jackie Chan.

But he didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to mention it first, which saved him a lot of trouble.
