Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1056 A director with ideas
"Tsui Hark chatted so happily with Mr. Lin, I really envy him."

Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei and others sat on the other side.

They all saw that Tsui Hark and Lin Daoqiu had a happy conversation. At this juncture, Tsui Hark went to find Lin Daoqiu, knowing what he wanted to do without even thinking about it.

"Mr. Lin awarded "Best Film" to Tsui Hark, which is really intriguing."

Those present are all experienced directors and screenwriters. I believe they don't need to say which one is better, "New Shushan Swordsman" or "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"In fact, Mr. Lin has always admired Tsui Hark. He is much luckier than us."

Zeng Zhiwei had to sigh with emotion that people have different fates. Lin Daoqiu acted as an assistant director for Lin Daoqiu's first play "Master Qian", but compared with Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, he was far away from Lin Daoqiu Not as good as those two guys.

Later, when New Art City was established, he was one of the founding elders, but in Lin Daoqiu's mind, he was still inferior to Tsui Hark.

If Lin Daoqiu really killed Baocheng Cinemas, Zeng Zhiwei thought about whether he should go to Xiangjiang to join his father.

"Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. It's actually normal for some people to have such thoughts."

Cen Jianxun sneered, others may be able to fly, but he and Sammo Hung must not be able to fly because they have already been tied to Pan Disheng.

Sammo Hung was not at all interested in the conversation between Shi Tian and the others. At this moment, he was frowning deeply, as if he was worried about something.

Yuen Biao who was next to him also noticed that the expression on Sammo Hung's face was too serious, so he asked in a low voice.

"Brother, what happened?"

Hearing Yuen Biao's question, Sammo Hung just shook his head.

Lin Daoqiu's influence in Xiangjiang is getting bigger and bigger, movies, TV stations, and Academy Awards, it can be said that Lin Daoqiu has controlled most of the resources in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry.

Although Sammo Hung does not think that Lin Daoqiu will be able to defeat Baocheng Cinemas within two years, but after three to five years, will Baocheng Cinemas be able to maintain it like it is now?This is probably going to be a big question mark.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something suddenly."

Sammo Hung didn't say what he really thought in his heart, and he would never tell others what he was thinking just now.

After all, Sammo Hung is regarded as a pinnacle of stability in Baocheng Cinemas. If he wavers, it will definitely affect many people in Baocheng Cinemas.

Compared with the table at Baocheng Cinemas, the atmosphere at Xiangjiang Cinemas is obviously much more lively.

Although Xinyi City failed to win the Golden Statue Award this time, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" won a full house.

The two actresses won the best actress, supporting role, and newcomer. Hu Jinquan won the best director, and also "Best Cinematography" and "Best Action Design".

It can be said that this year's Academy Awards is a dream night for "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Director Hu, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has achieved such a good score, have you considered a sequel?"

Regarding this question, Hu Jinquan had never thought about it before.

But "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has achieved a good box office, and has won so many awards at the Academy Awards. It stands to reason that the sequel has already been put on the agenda.

For Hu Jinquan, even though "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has so many advantages, it is not a movie he wants to make.

After all, the script of this drama has been nailed down by Lin Daoqiu and cannot be changed in any way, so he can only make a fuss about the shooting technique and framing.

This kind of feeling of filming is actually not comfortable for Hu Jinquan at all. If it weren't for such a good result, he might not even consider making a sequel.

And now the serialization of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in "Oriental Daily" is coming to an end, so it is a very good time to make a sequel.

"You have to ask Mr. Lin about this matter. After all, Mr. Lin wrote the script of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". If you want to make a sequel, you must have Mr. Lin's script."

In fact, even if Lin Daoqiu does not write the script, it is no problem for him to hand over this matter to Hu Jinquan, and even Hu Jinquan will be more happy with such an arrangement.

However, judging from the importance Lin Daoqiu attaches to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", if he makes a sequel, he will definitely not hand over the script of this drama to himself to write.

"Actually, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been in preparation. Since the audience likes this drama so much, I think it's only natural to make a sequel."

At this time, Lin Daoqiu brought Brigitte Lin to Hu Jinquan's table.

When Hu Jinquan and the leading actors of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" saw Lin Daoqiu, they immediately stood up from their chairs.

Pressing down his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, Lin Daoqiu took Brigitte Lin to Hu Jinquan's side and sat down.

"After filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy" last year, I originally thought that Director Hu would be ready to start a new movie. Since it has been so long since he hasn't acted, why don't you just take advantage of this time to shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy"? What do you think?" ?”

Lin Daoqiu plans to use the original crew to shoot the second half of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After all, judging from the reaction at the box office, the audience has already accepted the combination of Leslie Cheung, Chen Yulian and Li Saifeng, so while they are still young, hurry up and make this movie.

For Lin Daoqiu's proposal, Hu Jinquan did not immediately agree, he seemed to be hesitant.

"Mr. Lin, before filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I did have a movie that I wanted to make, but after I finished filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I no longer have any feeling for the film I originally had. .”

It's not that Hu Jinquan didn't want to open a new play, but because he couldn't think of a suitable theme, so he dragged on for more than a year and didn't act.

"Actually, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a very good work. Not only did it perform well at the box office, it was also affirmed by the judges of the Academy Awards, which shows that this film is indeed excellent."

Lin Daoqiu couldn't figure it out, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" requires money and people, and it also has the blessing of his own script. As long as Hu Jinquan makes the sequel, he will gain both fame and fortune.

He should seize such a good opportunity, how could he hesitate?

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I also like the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" very much, and I can always burst out a lot of inspiration when filming, but due to the limitations of the script, I can't fully express it."

If it were someone else, they would definitely follow Lin Daoqiu’s request honestly, but Hu Jinquan is different. He is a director with aspirations. He hopes that if he makes a sequel, he can create "Legend of Sword and Fairy" according to his own ideas. pass".
