Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1211

Although the three of them were shocked by Lin Daoqiu's move, Tsui Hark suddenly became interested in Lin Daoqiu's change after being surprised.

If the remake is based on the original "Swordsman" story, I'm afraid there won't be too many new ideas.

And "Swordsman" has been remade before,
The first version is the film version remade by Shaw Brothers in 1978, starring Wang Yu.

And last year, the first version of the TV series was remade by TVB, starring Chow Yun Fat.

Neither remake caused much of a splash.

If you really want to remake "Swordsman", you must make some innovations, and Lin Daoqiu's idea of ​​directly turning Dongfang Invincible into a heroine has made Tsui Hark very interested.

"Let's forget about Jin Daxia. Anyway, I don't have much interest in "Swordsman". Back then, it was just a whim."

Lin Daoqiu waved his hand. Since the remake failed at the beginning, it means that he has no fate with "Swordsman".

Since Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan are both here, let them do the filming. Anyway, Tsui Hark did a good job in this film. As long as you don’t mess around, I believe this film will not be reduced to the point where everyone only remembers "A Laugh from the Sea". ".

"Actually, if "Swordsman" is going to be remade, it really needs to come up with some new ideas. If there is a powerful star joining in, it will definitely be of great help to this movie."

When Hu Jinquan said this, his eyes were on Brigitte Lin beside Lin Daoqiu.

In fact, he also thought the same as Tsui Hark, but he did not have the opportunity to invite Brigitte Lin, after all, the production cost of his films was not high.

And even if Lin Daoqiu agreed to invest in him, if Brigitte Lin were to be invited to be the heroine, the production cost of the film would definitely be greatly overrun.

Let alone whether the money can be recovered, I am afraid that even if they get a good box office by then, they will lose money in terms of salary.

"I think Director Hu is right. If we can invite a big star to participate in our film, it will definitely be of great help to "Swordsman."

Tsui Hark also knows the elegance of the strings, and his ideas coincide with Hu Jinquan's. They both want to invite Lin Qingxia to the crew of "Swordsman".

Even Tsui Hark had already thought about what role to play, so Brigitte Brigitte was asked to play the most controversial Dongfang Bubai.

Even if Jin Daxia has any complaints at that time, but with Lin Qingxia's reputation in the world film industry at this moment, and the relationship between her and Lin Daoqiu, I believe Jin Daxia will not say much.

"Oh... big star? Do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Daoqiu pretended not to see who Hu Jinquan and Tsui Hark wanted to invite, but his puzzled look was very similar.

"If Ms. Lin can play the role of Dongfang Invincible in this drama, it will be great."

Tsui Hark didn't even think about it, he just said what was in his heart.

Hu Jinquan next to him also hurriedly chimed in.

"I think so too. If Ms. Lin can play Dongfang Bubai, it will definitely be a big improvement for this version of "Swordsman."

Brigitte Lin had just listened to Lin Daoqiu's gossip, but she didn't expect to be involved in this drama suddenly, she was not prepared for it at all.

"You want Qingxia to play Dongfang Bubai?"

Lin Daoqiu looked very funny in surprise, and those who didn't know thought he was really frightened by Tsui Hark's words.

But in fact, apart from Brigitte Lin, I am afraid that no one else is more suitable to play Dongfang Bubai in Tsui Hark's "Swordsman".

The second film can be said to be the best film of "Swordsman" directed by Tsui Hark.

As for the third "The Undefeated East" directed by Cheng Xiaodong, it can only be said to be a follow-up work.

Even with the combination of Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian, the movie is a mess in terms of plot and rhythm.

When it was released in 1993, it only got a box office of just over 1000 million, which can be said to be a complete failure.

And because after playing the role of Dongfang Invincible, Brigitte Lin's roles during that time were almost all playing the template of Dongfang Invincible.

Perhaps it is because everyone knows that everyone likes to see Brigitte Lin play such a role, so several movies have spent a lot of money to invite Brigitte Lin to act, but such an approach is also a great consumption of Brigitte Lin.

So after Dongfang Bubai, Lin Qingxia no longer has any classic characters in martial arts movies. Maybe this is called Dongfang Bubai for success, and Dongfang Bubai for defeat.

"Mr. Lin, if Ms. Lin can participate in the filming of "Swordsman", I believe that "Swordsman" will definitely be very good."

Since Tsui Hark had said everything, he would naturally not change it, and he always felt that it was a good opportunity for Lin Daoqiu to bring Brigitte Lin over here.

Coupled with what Lin Daoqiu told them just now, about the story that the remake of "Swordsman" was not made, it was as if he was destined to make this movie.

"But Qingxia's schedule is almost full this year, so she probably won't be able to spare much time to film "Swordsman"."

Although Lin Daoqiu said so, in fact, Lin Qingxia's schedule this year can be said to be very empty.

Apart from the filming of "The Meeting of Heroes", she really can't think of any other movies she wants to make.

But this does not mean that Lin Qingxia has too much interest in Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan's "Swordsman", because she has not recovered yet.

These three guys were very happy with what you said and what they said, but they didn't ask for their own opinions at all, and they didn't ask if they were interested in playing the Eastern Invincible.

"Mr. Lin, I think that if Dongfang Bubai plays well, it is very likely to become another classic role of Ms. Lin in the film. I hope you can seriously consider my request."

Tsui Hark actually didn't have any proof for saying this, he was just talking nonsense.

If Brigitte Lin could be invited, no matter how much he said these words, he would never say too much.

"what are you thinking?"

Lin Daoqiu seemed a little unable to stand Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan's request, he could only turn his head to look at Brigitte Lin, as if asking for the other party's meaning.

"Actually, I still don't know what's going on, but if I can see the script, I think I will seriously consider it."

Brigitte Lin was not in a hurry to refuse, she wanted to read the script of "Swordsman" first before considering whether to accept the show.

As for the salary and other issues, these can be left to Lin Daoqiu to deal with, and it is not a big problem for her at all.

Hearing Brigitte Brigitte's words, Tsui Hark was so motivated that he couldn't sit still anymore, and even planned to go back to write the script now, and then quickly decide on this matter.
