Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Home Alone" sold very well, so Longmeyer naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.

But what Longmeyer didn't know was that he actually had a super hit movie ready to be released at this time.

That was Steven Spielberg filming "E.T."

This drama will gross 790 million U.S. dollars worldwide. It is not an exaggeration to call this drama a money-printing machine.

However, "E.T." will be released in June and will not be able to make it in time for the Christmas period.

And they never thought about moving the show to six months later.

So for Longmeyer, the safest way now is to ask Lin Daoqiu for help and let him make the sequel to "Home Alone".

The shooting time of this drama will not be too long, and the production cost is not high. The most important thing is that it is very suitable for the family-friendly time of Christmas.

After receiving Longmeyer's call, Lin Daoqiu fell into deep thought.

The first part of "Home Alone" did sell well, but the subsequent sequels did not do so well at the box office and could not surpass the previous film.

But for Lin Daoqiu, as long as he spends a month or two to film "Home Alone", it will definitely bring him a lot of income.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu gave up the idea and decided to sell the copyright of "Home Alone".

One day later, Lin Daoqiu called Longmeyer.

When he received a call from Lin Daoqiu, Langmeyer was very happy because he knew that Lin Daoqiu had already made a decision.

You must know that in this world, I am afraid that no one will think that they make too much money.

"Dear Lin, have you thought about it?"

There was a sense of relief in Longmeyer's voice, and it seemed that he thought there would be no problem in this matter.

"Mr. Longmeyer, it's true that I really can't spare the time to make the sequel to "Home Alone."

Lin Daoqiu's answer made Longmeyer's heart sink.

However, Lin Daoqiu's next words immediately made Longmeyer's depressed mood improve a lot.

"Although I can't film it, I can sell you the copyright of "Home Alone". What do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu's suggestion made Langmeyer stunned for a moment.

He didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was thinking and why he suddenly came up with this idea.

You must know that the movie "Home Alone" received a lot of box office when it was released, and it also caused a lot of discussion.

According to Longmeyer's idea, every year when Christmas is approaching, it is only natural to get one and make money.

Now Lin Daoqiu suddenly wanted to sell him the copyright of "Home Alone", which forced Longmeyer to seriously think about what the other party's intention was.

"Lin, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

While Longmeyer was thinking, he also wanted to know how much it would cost to buy the rights to "Home Alone."

If the price was not expensive, he wouldn't be able to consider it. After all, the audience base for this drama was there, and it would definitely not lose money if it was filmed.

"Three hundred million dollars."

The price offered by Lin Daoqiu made Langmeyer frown deeply.

This price is actually not expensive, because "Home Alone" had a box office of more than 500 million US dollars at the time.

And this does not include other derived income.

If only one film was made, Longmeyer might not seriously consider Lin Daoqiu's proposal.

But if Lin Daoqiu sells the entire copyright of "Home Alone" to Universal for US$300 million, Longmeyer can really consider this matter seriously.

There was no rush to answer Lin Daoqiu. Longmeyer still needed to discuss this matter with others.

"Three days, give me three days, and I will give you an answer then."

Longmeyer decided to convene a board meeting to discuss it with others.

Although he is the president of Universal at this time, he still has a boss above him, and Longmeyer cannot do whatever he wants.

"Understood, I'll wait for your call when the time comes."

After Lin Daoqiu put down the phone, he threw the matter aside.

If Longmeyer doesn't buy it by then, that's fine. He can sell the rights to "Home Alone" to other companies.

Fox, Paramount, and Columbia, these companies, Lin Daoqiu believes that they will definitely be interested in "Home Alone".

The Asian sister's top 16 competition will start in one month.

This competition is not much different from the previous ones, but because half of the people have been eliminated before, there is ample time for the contestants to prepare this time.

It can be said that Yuan Qiongdan has been busy training every day during this period. The score she got last time can only be said to be barely passable.

But this time, 44 out of 60 people had to be eliminated. Yuan Qiongdan felt that her hope of entering the top 16 was actually very slim.

However, Mai Cuixian has been encouraging Yuan Qiongdan and told her to continue working hard.

As time went by, Sister Asia ushered in the top 16 competition.

The judges who participated in the top 16 that day were more famous than they were in the semi-finals.

Many writers and directors from ATV participated in the review process, including Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun.

After going around, the two people were looking at the beautiful women and doing their job as judges at the same time.

Originally, the judges this time, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, were not on the list.

However, Lin Daoqiu suddenly proposed to add the two of them, and then they appeared on the final list of judges.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu's intention is very simple. Since the top three Asian sisters will become the heroines of "Our Family".

As screenwriters Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, they asked them to review the script first and cross out the inappropriate ones, so that the later work would become much easier.

Before these two people came, Lin Daoqiu had already called him to his office to give him some advice. Naturally, they were not here to have fun today, so they were both attentive to their work.

After the first round, except for Mai Cuixian, some other people were not to their liking.

But the good thing is that the girls who can pass the semi-finals are outstanding not only in terms of their figure but also their appearance.

Therefore, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui only need to keep the beauties they are optimistic about. As for whether they can be shortlisted for the finals, it depends on the scores given by the judges in the finals.

The final results of the top 16 competition were announced, and Cuixian Mai once again advanced to the finals as second place.

Yuan Qiongdan, on the other hand, stopped in the top 16 and only achieved 24th place.

When she heard the news, Yuan Qiongdan couldn't help crying backstage. It seemed that she still cared about this competition, but it was a pity that after working hard for so long, she still couldn't get what she wanted.

And when she was crying so hard, someone suddenly appeared behind Yuan Qiongdan.
