Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1046 Shall I shoot or not?

Lin Daoqiu had previously filmed for TVB "Student Police Attack", starring Andy Lau, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, and Tang Zhenye.

This is just one of his experiments. In fact, Lin Daoqiu didn't think about it at the beginning. He really wanted to make this team into the future five tiger generals.

And the reason for filming "Student Police Attack" is to repay Lu Dingtang's favor. Fortunately, the final result is very good, and Lu Dingtang is also very satisfied.

But for Lin Daoqiu, he didn't put much effort into "School Police Attack".

The meaning of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Lin Daoqiu is obviously different from that of "School Police Attack".

Lin Daoqiu strives to do his best in everything from conception to filming, selection of actors, finding Hu Jinquan to direct, and shooting scenes in the mainland.

Although one is a TV series and the other is a movie, the two should not be compared.

But it also belongs to the category of idol dramas. Lin Daoqiu's attention to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is far from what "Student Police Attack" can compare.

And this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" did not live up to Lin Daoqiu's expectations, and finally won a box office score of 300 million.

As the leading actors of this play, Leslie Cheung, Chen Yulian, and Li Saifeng, the fame of these three people in Xiangjiang has skyrocketed by coincidence.

Leslie Cheung was ATV's number one student before. He is excellent in TV dramas and singing, and now he has a good "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which can be called the No.1 star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Singing better than him is not as good as him in TV dramas and movies, acting better than him in movies and TV dramas, but not as good as him in singing.

In general, the current Leslie Cheung can be said to have reached the first peak of his acting career.

"Ah...Young Master Rong, I love you..."

"Yulian, you are so beautiful tonight..."

"Feng, you are getting more and more beautiful..."

There were screams one after another, and it seemed that everyone really liked the three of them.

"Four, welcome to today's Hong Kong Film Awards. First, let's interview Rong Shao. Rong Shao will ask the TV and the audience first."

"Hi everyone, I'm Leslie Cheung. I'm very happy to participate in the Academy Awards this year as an actor."

Although Leslie Cheung will also sing on stage later, but this year he is participating in the Hong Kong Film Awards in the name of a candidate for the Best Actor award.

Let's not talk about whether we can successfully win the best actor in the end, but for Leslie Cheung, this is already a big breakthrough.

Because in recent years, he has been filming TV dramas, and rarely participates in filming.

Unexpectedly, after playing "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he was shortlisted for the Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards. Even though Leslie Cheung knew that the chance of winning the award was very low, he was still very happy to participate in the Academy Awards in this capacity.

"I believe that audiences who know Rong Shao know very well that Rong Shao usually focuses on TV dramas and rarely makes movies. May I ask why Mr. Lin thought of asking you to play the role of Li Xiaoyao?"

For this question, Leslie Cheung had already thought about how to answer this question before he came, and this could only be regarded as a routine matter.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a novel first and then a movie. When Mr. Lin was conceiving this book, he wanted to make it. As for why he found me, maybe it was because I was lucky."

In fact, the reason why Lin Daoqiu wanted to shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was to fulfill his wish, and to fight against Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman", so as not to let the other party be more beautiful than before.

As a result, the final result of course made Lin Daoqiu very satisfied. The box office of "New Shushan Swordsman" was more than 1000 million less than that of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

And "New Shushan Swordsman" invested more than 1000 million more than "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

In the end, Baoshao happened to be Tsui Hark also failed to defeat himself with "New Shushan Swordsman", and this movie became the last movie produced by Baojia Cinemas.

"Mr. Rong was joking. Since Mr. Lin chose you to play Li Xiaoyao, he must have his own unique ideas. If I were to be the director of this movie, I would also choose Rong Shao to play Li Xiaoyao."

Chen Xinjian's words were a bit of an afterthought, and now Li Xiaoyao, played by Leslie Cheung, has been recognized by the public.

However, when the casting news came out, although most people were very optimistic about Leslie Cheung playing the role of Li Xiaoyao, some fans still felt that Leslie Cheung was not suitable.

"Speaking of which, I am really grateful to Mr. Lin for giving me this opportunity, and the box office of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" should not have disappointed Mr. Lin."

Lin Daoqiu was already prepared to lose money for this drama, but he didn't expect to win a box office of 300 million in the end.

Although Xiangjiang's local box office can't make up for it, "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which was sold overseas with this result, still achieved very good box office results.

In places like Hanguo and Neon in Southeast Asia, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" relied on cool stunts and picturesque landscapes to help Lin Daoqiu earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

After a lapse of one year, a large number of book fans hope that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be able to make a second part, but there is no further action on this matter.

Since I met Leslie Cheung today, I will inevitably be asked this question.

"The sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy"? Mr. Lin hasn't mentioned this matter to me yet, but if there is a chance, I certainly hope to play Li Xiaoyao again."

Leslie Cheung does not rule out acting in sequels, after all, the filming of this film is indeed very good, and it can be regarded as one of his masterpieces over the years.

If Lin Daoqiu really wants to make a sequel, Leslie Cheung would not mind playing Li Xiaoyao again, but the problem now is that there is no such thing as a film at all.

And when they talked about the topic of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", fans who loved "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at the scene and in front of the TV also began to look forward to the sequel of this drama.

Because the plot of the movie version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" only filmed the Zhenyao Tower, and not all of them were filmed.

The serialization of the novel is coming to an end. Although everyone already knows the following plot, they still hope that in the movie version, Lin Daoqiu can give these three people a happy ending.

"As for whether there will be a sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I am afraid that only Mr. Lin can give the answer."

When Teddy Robin was speaking these words, Lin Daoqiu was also watching the live broadcast in the VIP room in Xintiandi Theater.

Whether or not there should be a sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he has never thought about this matter. If Teddy Robin and the others hadn't brought it up today, Lin Daoqiu might not have seriously thought about it.

"Shooting or not..."

Lin Daoqiu muttered in a low voice.
