Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Shi Nansheng's idea is very simple. If they are asked to switch to Jiahe now, the conditions offered by the other party will definitely not be much better.

New Oriental and the others will never be able to go back, so now the only place Tsui Hark and the others can go is Jiahe.

If at this time, I am trying to think of ways to improve my worth, then I will be eaten to death by the other party.

For the drama "New Shushan Swordsman", a large-scale production costing 50 million yuan is unprecedented in Hong Kong.

Once this drama is successful, the conditions that Golden Harvest will offer to Tsui Hark will definitely not be what they are now.

"How long until "New Shushan Swordsman" is released?"

Leaving aside other things, Zou Wenhuai seems to be very interested in the drama "New Shushan Swordsman".

"Post-production can be completed in one month at the latest."

As the director of this drama, Tsui Hark is obviously the one who knows the progress of "New Shushan Swordsman" best.

Hearing what the other party said, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Zou Wenhuai's face.

Although other people at the scene didn't know why Zou Wenhuai suddenly smiled.

But Zou Wenhuai was smiling, and for Tsui Hark, this was definitely not a bad thing.

And based on their understanding of Zou Wenhuai, he is not the smiling tiger type.

"In that case, let's follow what Ms. Shi said and wait until "New Shushan Swordsman" is released to discuss it."

Originally, Zou Wenhuai wanted to get these things done today.

But what Shi Nansheng just said made him immediately change his previous thoughts.

"Thank you Mr. Zou..."

Now that the matter of recruiting them has been put on hold, everyone has nothing to talk about.

After a brief chat, Shi Tian and others left.

After they left, He Guanchang looked confused.

"You think it's strange why I agreed to Shi Nansheng's request just now."

Zou Wenhuai knew from one look at He Guanchang's face what the reason for his confusion at this time was.

He Guanchang did not deny it, but nodded.

In the situation just like that, as long as Zou Wenhuai refused, Tsui Hark and the others would not dare to refute at all.

"If "The New Shushan Swordsman" can be a big success by then, Tsui Hark will become a representative figure in Hong Kong's special effects movies."

Now when it comes to special effects movies, in Hong Kong, only Lin Daoqiu is successful.

Others don't even know what special effects are.

For Jiahe, talent is what they need most now.

Whether it's excellent actors, directors, or screenwriters, these are all things Jiahe is in dire need of right now.

Fortunately, an outstanding talent like Tsui Hark has completely opposed Lin Daoqiu, so he has an opportunity to take advantage of him.

"What Mr. Zou means is that he plans to make Tsui Hark the representative of special effects films in Hong Kong?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded directly and admitted.

"In the future movie market, there should be more and more special effects movies. If we don't have anyone who understands special effects, it will definitely be very disadvantageous for us."

Don't look at Chow Wen-huai's acquisition of the Kowloon cinema chain, and think that his business territory is limited to Xiangjiang.

In fact, for Zou Wenhuai, bringing Jiahe to the world is his biggest dream.

The limitations of Chinese-language films are too great. If they want Golden Harvest to become the best film company in the world, they must make some films that can be popular in Hollywood.

The box office performance of special effects movies in Hollywood in recent years is truly jaw-dropping.

From "Star Wars" to the science fiction movie "E.T." released last year, the box office revenue of these movies is jaw-dropping.

It is definitely impossible to say that Zou Wenhuai has no idea.

But unfortunately, making an excellent special effects movie is definitely not an easy thing to do.

"Blade Runner", a film previously invested by Run Run Shaw, only grossed over US$30 million at the box office when it was released last year.

The production cost of this drama has reached 28 million US dollars.

It can be said that "Blade Runner" alone cost Run Run Shaw hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

If it were Jiahe, they wouldn't be able to bear such losses.

So at this time, investing in Tsui Hark is a very good choice for Jiahe.

It's not like they can't make an investment as big as "New Shushan Swordsman".

As long as Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman" can be successful this time, Zou Wenhuai will naturally be happy.

And it’s not that Jiahe couldn’t spend tens of millions to film the movie, it was just because he couldn’t find the right people to invest.

…………

"Hey, what exactly do you think? You must give me an explanation today."

Lin Qingxia, who was sitting opposite Lin Daoqiu, pursed her lips and looked angry.

Lin Daoqiu, who was sitting opposite her, looked very relaxed and could not tell that he was nervous.

"You just finished filming three movies, don't you plan to take a break?"

Lin Daoqiu picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Brigitte Lin didn't even think about it, she just shook her head.

"I still think it would be better to film more movies, otherwise it would be too boring to stay at home all the time, and you can't stay with me like this all the time."

Today is the weekend. Lin Daoqiu, who had been at home all day, took Brigitte Lin out for afternoon tea.

Unexpectedly, while we were chatting, Brigitte Lin suddenly brought the topic to Lin Daoqiu, who had told her before that she would shoot action scenes this year.

When attending the premiere of "The Best Partner" before, Lin Daoqiu briefly talked about this matter with Brigitte Lin in the car.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu thought that if it were to be filmed this year, it would be safer to choose the sequel to "The Mummy".

However, although this movie is an action movie, Brigitte Lin's role in it is not the previous type of killing everyone, but an ordinary archaeologist.

It can be said that it was a hasty decision to use Brigitte Lin as the heroine.

Moreover, Brigitte Lin's performance was not as good as her performance in "Mission: Impossible", and it did not add points to her.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu no longer plans to let her continue to play the heroine in the sequel to "The Mummy", but plans to change the role to a Hollywood actor.

After all, in this type of movie, in addition to the action, the love between the male and female protagonists is also a very important attraction.

If a movie only focuses on fighting and special effects, it will inevitably be a bit dull and boring.

But if Lin Qingxia is asked to act in those intimate scenes, Lin Daoqiu will definitely not be able to accept it.

So after much deliberation, Lin Daoqiu finally decided that if the sequel to "The Mummy" was to be filmed, Brigitte Lin would definitely be removed.
