Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1047 Not so easy to shoot
"Brother Qiu, it seems that everyone's enthusiasm for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has not diminished."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui sat in the VIP room with Lin Daoqiu and waited for the opening.

This year, because he didn't have to walk the red carpet, Lin Daoqiu went directly to the Xintiandi Theater.

"Actually, if they don't say it, I really can't remember that there is a sequel to this movie."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head with a smile, it seemed that he was not joking.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's current thoughts are on "Godzilla" and "Tomb Raider", and the matter of making a sequel to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" really hasn't appeared in his mind.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" won such a good box office last year, I think we should make persistent efforts, but I don't know if Director Hu Jinquan is willing to make a sequel."

In this play, Lin Daoqiu completely handed over the dominance to Hu Jinquan, and only restrained him with the script.

In the end, Hu Jinquan did not add any private goods in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and filmed it completely according to the script.

And this is also thanks to Lin Daoqiu's repeated warnings before the filming started.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will really have such strange things as Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which Lin Daoqiu absolutely does not want to see.

After filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Hu Jinquan suddenly began to rest.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that he seemed to have promised to invest in Hu Jinquan to make the movie he wanted to make.

But the other party didn't come to him after planning for so long, what exactly did he want to shoot?

"Brother Qiu, if Director Hu Jinquan is not available then, can you let us have a try?"

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already had a good start, and if it is replaced now, the effect will not be too bad.

And Lin Daoqiu only needs to produce the script. The two of them plus Wang Jing will definitely be able to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Turning his head to look at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, Lin Daoqiu suddenly smiled, not knowing what he was laughing at.

And when these two guys saw Lin Daoqiu's expression, they thought that their proposal just now made Lin Daoqiu tempted.

"I advise you not to think about it. Although "Legend of Sword and Fairy" looks very simple, in fact, the things contained in this movie far exceed your current ability, and you can't make it."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu looked down on Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, and Wang Jing, but with their current experience and ability, it is impossible to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" as good as Hu Jinquan.

If it's just a script, then any experienced director can make a good movie.

But in fact, making a movie is definitely not that simple, because every director has his own style.

And the same script in the hands of different directors will produce works with different styles.

Not only experience but also experience and personal aesthetics, plus the control of the camera, all of these things can't be honed out in more than ten years.

Being rejected by Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui looked very disappointed. They both thought that if they could take over "Legend of Sword and Fairy", they might also hit the box office of 4000 or even [-] million .

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not for you to intervene. If I were you, I would try my best to write a few good scripts. You can obtain far more resources than others. Why don't you work hard?"

Although Lin Daoqiu doesn't write many scripts for Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui anymore, but with their relationship with him, even if Lin Daoqiu doesn't speak, Li Maowen will give them convenience.

It is no exaggeration to say that whenever these two guys write a better script, Lin Daoqiu will definitely throw an investment of 2000 million to them without blinking an eye.

But it's a pity that these two guys are so unprogressive. Together with Wang Jing, they always think about making those urban comedies with low cost and quick money. The box office of several million is enough.

If the box office can exceed [-] million, then the few of them will be extremely happy.

"Brother Qiu, it's not so easy to get a good script. The last time I wrote "Pretty Girl" won so many awards at the Academy Awards, but the box office was only in the low tens of millions."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wen Jun felt very depressed.

"Pretty Girl" was a big success at the Academy Awards, but the box office was only in the tens of millions. This did not reflect the popularity of this drama at the Academy Awards at all.

"Commercial films and literary films are polarized in terms of film awards. The judges prefer deeper things. How can commercial films, which pursue sensory stimulation, compare with literary films?"

Lin Daoqiu's words sounded like he was defending literary films, but if you look carefully, he didn't seem to mean that.

"Brother Qiu, do you mean that tonight's Academy Awards will still be the same as last year, with literary films winning big?"

Wen Jun is not a judge this year, so he doesn't know much about the internal affairs of the Academy Awards.

Although the final results are now in Zou Wenhuai's briefcase, Wen Jun believes that Lin Daoqiu must have known the results in advance.

"When did you become so predictable? Before the final result comes out, I can only say that everything is possible."

Lin Daoqiu's answer means that he didn't say anything, but this deepened Wen Jun's suspicion.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the interview ceremony for the red carpet of the Academy Awards has ended.

As soon as the camera turned, Lin Jianming, Liu Zhenrong, Chen Xinjian, Chen Baixiang, the four hosts had already stood on the stage and were ready to start.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had also left the VIP room, and came to sit in the seats in the theater.

The opening ceremony of this year's Golden Statue Awards is the same as last year's, and popular singers are invited to sing the movie's theme song.

Leslie Cheung, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, Xu Xiaofeng, these singers came on stage one by one.

Sitting next to Lin Daoqiu, Zou Wenhuai, besides being the rotating chairman of the Golden Statue Awards today, he will also present the last few awards.

"Mr. Lin, which play do you think is likely to win the prize tonight?"

Since he is the rotating chairman of the Golden Statue Awards, Zou Wenhuai must have known the awards of the Golden Statue Awards in advance, and his question is just to chat about random topics.

"Does Mr. Zou have any good movies? Let's talk about it together."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and asked the other party.

"Actually, I have made films for so many years, and my personal favorite is still commercial films. This does not seem to fit the atmosphere of the Academy Awards."

After all, for Zou Wenhuai, the movies he has made for many years are all for the purpose of making money, and the movies that the Academy Awards like are more of the type of literary films, so Zou Wenhuai feels that he and the style of the Academy Awards Not very suitable.

"Mr. Zou was joking, the Golden Image Awards represent Xiangjiang's films, whether it's a literary film or a commercial film, or other types of films, as long as it is a Hong Kong-produced film, it will have its foothold here. "

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he turned his attention to enjoying the show on the stage.
