Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

He Guanchang finally agreed to the bet with Lin Daoqiu.

After listening to what Lin Daoqiu said, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

No matter lose or win, Jiahe seems to be the winner in the end, at least that's what it sounds like.

But He Guanchang is not that kind of young man who is just starting out. He will definitely have his own judgment.

In fact, He Guanchang still firmly believes that Chen Xunqi's new drama should not break the 20 million box office.

Based on this idea, He Guanchang agreed to make this bet with Lin Daoqiu.

After He Guanchang left, Lin Daoqiu began to deal with the documents that had accumulated while he was away from Xiangjiang.

Since Xiangjiang Cinemas reopened, there are really a lot of things to deal with.

Fortunately, Li Maowen already had management experience before, so there were no big problems.

Li Maowen is still the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas. Golden Harvest has not raised any significance on this point, and everything will still be handled as before.

While processing documents, Lin Daoqiu suddenly discovered that a very interesting movie had appeared in Xinyi City's recent shooting plan.

Although this is only a low-budget comedy, it is a movie that can be called a milestone.

Because according to later director Gao Zhisen, "Happy Ghost" was the film with the highest net profit in New Art City at that time.

Originally, the production cost for the first part of "Happy Ghost" in the previous life was 2.5 million, but in this life it was reduced to 2 million.

Lin Daoqiu vaguely remembered that this drama was filmed around this time, but he did not know the details.

""Happy Ghost"..."

Looking at the name on the document, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.

…………

"Happy Ghost" is the first film shot by Gao Zhisen. It is his first time as a director, and the director's fee for this film is only 60,000 yuan.

The reason why it got so little is because no one at the moment, including Gao Zhisen himself, could have imagined how much box office this drama would get in the future.

Before this, Gao Zhisen had always been a screenwriter, and even worked as an actor and scene recorder.

After staying in New Art City for a period of time, he was appreciated by Mai Jia, and this time he was specially asked to direct the film adapted from the stage play "Zhu Xiucai".

The three heroines of "Happy Ghost", Luo Mingzhu, Li Lizhen, and Lin Shanshan, are all acting in movies for the first time.

Li Lizhen was discovered by a talent scout in the 1980s and began shooting commercials and working as a model. She has not yet made any movies.

Luo Mingzhu was discovered in Xinyi City, this is her first movie.

As for Lin Shanshan, it is worth mentioning that her uncle is Di Long, but not many people know about this.

It can be seen from this that it is basically impossible to attract audiences by relying on the popularity of these three heroines.

Director, the three female leads are all newcomers, as for the actor Wu Shaogang, he is an actor from Taiwan.

His most famous drama before was "The Wrong Ride". In Hong Kong, it can be said that Wu Shaogang is basically not famous.

And the male lead of this drama is actually Huang Baiming from New Art City.

Seeing this, it always makes people feel that Xinyi City's "Happy Ghost" is just for fun.

At this time, the crew of "Happy Ghost" was filming at a middle school in Xiangjiang.

Because school has started, they can only use weekends to shoot, and the time can be said to be a bit tight.

"You will act like this later, with a more relaxed expression. Don't be too nervous. Just treat it as if you were talking to a friend. Relax."

The three heroines had no acting experience before, so what Gao Zhisen usually does most is teach them how to act.

Not long after the filming started, the filming progress is still very slow. The main problem still lies on the side of the actress.

Fortunately, the requirements for acting in this drama are not too high, as long as they can show their youthful and beautiful side.

"In this ghost weather, it's really hot to wear this ghost costume."

Because Huang Baiming plays the role of Zhu Xiucai, he usually wears an official uniform. On such a hot day, it is really uncomfortable.

Even Huang Baiming has made up his mind not to shoot such a ghost movie on such a hot day next time.

"Brother Ming, work has started."

When he heard someone calling him, although Huang Baiming kept complaining, he still got up and walked over quickly.

While everyone was still filming in full swing, Gao Zhisen suddenly noticed that a person seemed to be standing next to him.

At first, he was concentrating on filming and didn't pay much attention to it. After the scene was finished, Gao Zhisen looked back and found that the young man next to him looked familiar.

However, he couldn't remember the other person's name for a moment.

And at the dozens of houses where Gao Zhisen was still thinking of names, Huang Baiming suddenly shouted.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

As soon as Huang Baiming saw Lin Daoqiu, he immediately walked over quickly.

When Gao Zhisen heard what Huang Baiming said, he realized that the young man next to him was actually the big boss Lin Daoqiu.

Huang Baiming felt very strange about Lin Daoqiu's sudden appearance.

There should be no acquaintances of Lin Daoqiu among the cast and crew of "Happy Ghost", and it is impossible for him to come to visit his class.

"I happened to pass by here and heard that you were filming here, so I came in to take a look."

Lin Daoqiu made up a reason casually. In fact, he just wanted to take a look at the progress of "Happy Ghost".

At this time, there is still some time before the Spring Festival, and the filming cycle of "Happy Ghost" will not be very long.

Lin Daoqiu remembers that because the first part of "Happy Ghost" got very good results, there were several follow-up parts.

"He is the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas. I didn't expect him to be so young?"

"Originally, I thought he was very old, but I didn't expect him to be quite handsome."

Several actresses got together and started chatting about Lin Daoqiu. After all, this was their first time meeting the legendary big shot.

What they knew about Lin Daoqiu before was from rumors or news reports.

"Don't be crazy. I saw a report in a gossip magazine before. It said that Mr. Lin has so many beauties around him that he doesn't like you."

One of the actresses poured cold water on them, but even if she didn't tell them, several other people had more or less heard about Lin Daoqiu's matter.

"Director Gao is calling us."

Gao Zhisen had already waved to them at this time, asking the three of them to go over and say hello to Lin Daoqiu.

After all, they are the heroines of this drama. If the big boss comes to visit the team, it will be impossible for them not to go up and say hello.
