Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Initially, the media focused on Lin Biqi's acting skills.

At only 16 years old, she was acting for the first time and she already performed so well that she was like a born heroine.

As the media dug deeper, they discovered more things about Lin Biqi.

When director Li Dawei discovered her on the street, she was still a 16-year-old girl who dropped out of school and lived on the street.

Regarding the invitation from Li Dawei, she refused to act unless she was the heroine.

Although it sounds arrogant, Lin Biqi used facts to prove that choosing her as the heroine of "Beautiful Girl" was the most correct decision.

Later, I don't know who inquired about the news that Lin Biqi was pregnant out of wedlock. It immediately became the front-page news in the entertainment section.

Audiences who have watched "Beautiful Girl" all fall in love with this heroine. In the movie, she fully interprets the heroine's stubborn, arrogant, self-destructive and helpless mentality.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Lin Daoqiu knew that Lin Biqi would definitely not return to the entertainment industry.

In the previous life, when Qiu Litao was filming "The Story of a Pretty Girl", he tried to invite Lin Biqi, but was rejected by her.

In fact, if Lin Daoqiu really wanted to, he could use all means to sign Lin Biqi to New Oriental.

After all, in this world, no matter how good a person is, there are weaknesses, and the resources Lin Daoqiu had were enough to make her nod.

But Lin Daoqiu doesn't like to do things that force others.

If Lin Biqi's good fortune had been discovered earlier, Lin Daoqiu would definitely have tried his best to avoid a situation like this from happening, but it was too late to say that now.

Lin Biqi's matter, after being hotly speculated for a while, slowly died down. After all, the heroine did not show up, and the news was just like that.

…………

"Godzilla" has been in production for more than a year, but it's just the beginning.

Because this drama can be said to be a huge project, if you want to shoot it in just one or two years, the effect will definitely not be that good.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu will naturally not rush to release this movie, although so far, "Godzilla" has spent more than 20 million US dollars.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't feel distressed at all. He didn't even urge Dexierla and Yuangu Gao once to ask them to speed up the pace.

Dykesela was quite happy about this. As long as Lin Daoqiu kept investing money and letting him study special effects technology, he would not bother to care about other things.

However, for Tsuburaya Gao, who was assisting in the special photography, he always lamented that the speed of spending money was really amazing.

He has been with his father for many years and has made many "Godzilla" movies, but this is the first time he has seen such a money-spending movie.

Tens of millions of dollars were spent, and the film was only about 20 percent completed.

He thought for a while, if the filming continues on this scale of spending money, could it be possible that the final film will cost more than 200 million US dollars to complete?

Fortunately, he is not the director of this drama, otherwise Yuangu Gao might not be able to sleep at night.

On this day, Lin Daoqiu took time to come to Magic Studio to check the progress of "Godzilla".

As soon as he got off the car, Lin Daoqiu saw Dexierla and Yuangu Gao coming up to him.

"Let's talk while walking."

After a few polite words, Dykesela and Tsuburaya Gao took Lin Daoqiu to the studio where "Godzilla" was shot.

As soon as he entered the studio, Lin Daoqiu saw several huge Godzilla models, the smallest of which was taller than Lin Daoqiu.

These models alone cost millions of dollars to produce.

But since so much money was spent, the effect is naturally very good, and it looks lifelike, as if the real Godzilla is standing in front of you.

"In December last year, the preliminary preparations were completed, and now we have entered the filming stage. However, it is our first time to contact such a movie, so the progress during filming was very slow."

While walking, Dexierla introduced the filming progress of "Godzilla" to Lin Daoqiu.

Although there is an expert like Tsuburaya Gao, Lin Daoqiu has told him before that what he wants is not the kind of "Godzilla" that children can watch, but a movie that can shock people.

Therefore, a large part of Tsuburaya Gao's previous experience cannot be used. Now he is still groping while shooting.

"It doesn't matter, I can afford to wait. It doesn't matter if the film is filmed slowly. I have only one request. This film must be the best among the best."

Since Lin Daoqiu invested so much money, he naturally would not make "Godzilla" casually.

Since he wants to regard this movie as a benchmark for special effects movies, his vision will naturally not be limited to Hong Kong, but plans to focus on the whole world.

Daix Erla and Tsuburaya Gao nodded on the sidelines. They knew very well that Lin Daoqiu had high hopes for this "Godzilla".

After leaving Magic Studio, Lin Daoqiu suddenly received a call from Longmeyer.

"Dear Lin, do you have any preparations for Christmas this year?"

It was already May, and if Lin Daoqiu had any plans, he would have communicated with Longmeyer long ago.

Since there is no news to the other party yet, it means that Lin Daoqiu may not do anything during the Christmas period this year.

"You should leave this year's Christmas schedule to others. I have no new films to release in Hollywood this year."

After filming "The Mummy", Lin Daoqiu turned his attention back to Hong Kong.

He has a lot of things to deal with. If he were to go to Hollywood to make a movie, he wouldn't be able to think of anything to make.

If you don't rely on special effects, you have to rely on plot to win.

"I know you are very busy. In fact, I made this call today because I want to discuss something with you."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, just hummed, wanting to know what Longmeyer had to do with him on the phone.

"I don't have any great movies this year, but I don't want to give up the Christmas schedule, so I hope to make a sequel to "Home Alone."

Lin Daoqiu still holds the copyright of "Home Alone" in his hand but has not sold it. This movie originally brought him a lot of income.

Moreover, Universal helped run the movie "Home Alone" in the first place.

Langmeyer naturally hopes that Lin Daoqiu can film the sequel to "Home Alone" this year and make a lot of money during the Christmas period.

"A sequel to Home Alone?"

Lin Daoqiu was just stunned for a moment, then told Longmeyer that he needed to think about it, and then hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Lin Daoqiu began to think seriously.

If Langmeyer hadn't called to tell him, Lin Daoqiu would really not have been able to remember this matter.
