Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1215 Fighting for the position of director

In fact, before that, Lin Daoqiu's plan was to continue to cooperate with Yuan Heping. After all, they had already cooperated in several films, and the two parties already had a very good tacit understanding.

Moreover, the Yuan family class can also train the actors in advance, and the cooperation in the play will be more tacit.

This model has been going on for several years, and other people don't think there is any problem with it. After all, the movies made by Lin Daoqiu are so popular that there is no reason to change it.

But for Lin Daoqiu himself, although this model is very comfortable, it is easy to make his movies into movies of the same model.

Blindly pursuing play, while ignoring the design of other gun battles and big scenes, this is what Lin Daoqiu lacks now.

So now he has to make a change, and this change is made from the director's side.

"To tell you the truth, the script of that play hasn't been written yet, so how could it be possible to decide on the director first."

Lin Daoqiu replied truthfully.

When Mai Dangxiong heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he immediately became ecstatic.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of me being the director of this play?"

Mai Dangxiong really hoped that he could win over the director of this blockbuster movie. After all, what Lin Daoqiu said just now made Mai Dangxiong so greedy.

I believe that in terms of investment, the production cost of this drama will definitely not be low, and the script must also be written by Lin Daoqiu, and he should also be the producer.

The interesting thing about Lin Daoqiu is that as long as he shoots according to the script, he will not interfere with the director's behavior.

When working with Li before this point, Mai Dangxiong already knew this characteristic of Lin Daoqiu.

And as far as Mai Dangxiong knows over the years, Lin Daoqiu's habit has been maintained and has not changed.

Although for a generally dominant director, encountering such a situation will inevitably be a bit painful.

But for McDonald, as long as he can get a good script and an unlimited production budget, then he can give full play to his inner thoughts.

"This drama hasn't even started to write the script yet, you are eager to apply for the director, do you think it is suitable?"

Although Lin Daoqiu said so, his face was completely smiling.

Mai Dangxiong, who is acquainted with Lin Daoqiu, doesn't care so much anymore. His top priority now is to win the director of this movie.

"I think it's very suitable. First, I will definitely be ranked in the top three when Xiangjiang shoots a movie with such a big scene as a gunfight. Moreover, Mr. Lin should be well aware of my professionalism..."

Speaking of this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but think of the things Mai Dangxiong had done.

He is indeed a very good director, but he is also a director who likes to make trouble for others.

Although the purpose of McDonald's doing those things is to make the movie better and more realistic, but the consequences of doing so will often have a considerable impact.

Whether or not Mai Dangxiong should be the director of the play, Lin Daoqiu couldn't decide for a while.

But fortunately, it is still a long time for him. The filming of the film will not start until next year, so Lin Daoqiu has plenty of time to think about it slowly.

"Well, if you can make a shootout movie that satisfies me, then I will consider you as the director of that movie."

The goal Lin Daoqiu set for McDonald seems simple, but it is very difficult to think about it carefully.

A shootout film that can satisfy Lin Daoqiu, can such a film be made casually?

So after hearing Lin Daoqiu's condition, Mai Dangxiong didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But for him, at least in the competition for the director of Lin Daoqiu's new film, he is somewhat ahead of others.

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry, I will definitely polish the movie "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" when I go back, and I will definitely make a shootout movie that satisfies you."

Mai Dangxiong doesn't have any good solutions now, since Lin Daoqiu has said so, he can only go back and think about it, and see how to make the best shot of "Provincial and Hong Kong Banner Soldiers".

After Mai Dangxiong left, Brigitte Lin only spoke at this time.

"I've heard some stories about this director Mai before. Everyone said that he was a lunatic when he started filming. If you let him be the director of a new film, aren't you afraid that something will happen then?"

Brigitte Lin doesn't know much about McDonald, she only knows him from other people's mouths, she only knows that he is a lunatic director.

But unlike Brigitte Lin, Lin Daoqiu has worked with Mai Dangxiong for a period of time and knows his temper well.

"Maddon Hung is a very talented and principled director. I have worked with him in Li's for a while, and I know him well. In fact, I do plan to let him be the director of this film. .”

Lin Daoqiu didn't hide it from Brigitte Lin, in his mind the No.1 choice for director is McDonald.

"That film will be co-operated with Baodao, if something goes wrong during filming, you will be responsible instead of him."

Brigitte Lin was thinking about the problem from Lin Daoqiu's point of view. After all, this film was made to save Wu Chou, so there must be no mistakes.

"Am I still afraid of taking the blame? Don't worry, although McDonald was reckless when filming, he is actually a careful person, but you didn't realize that."

For Mai Dangxiong, Lin Daoqiu trusts him more, but he doesn't intend to explain too much to Brigitte Lin, after all, it's meaningless to talk too much about this kind of thing.

But for Mai Dangxiong, if he could know about Lin Daoqiu's new play, it would be of extraordinary importance to him.

As long as he can take over Lin Daoqiu's film, his popularity will be greatly improved after the filming is completed.

Mai Dangxiong was even fantasizing that as long as he submits a qualified report card at that time, maybe Lin Daoqiu will pay more attention to himself in the future.

Yuan Heping has been cooperating with Lin Daoqiu in the past few years. Whether it is a movie in Xiangjiang or a blockbuster filmed in Hollywood, it can be seen that Lin Daoqiu prefers to use Yuan Heping instead of other directors.

Mai Dangxiong believes that the difference between himself and Yuan Heping lies in the design of the play. After all, the opponent is a professional and has many years of experience, so Mai Dangxiong thinks he can't compare with Yuan Heping in this regard.

But if this part is replaced by gunfights and the realism of the movie, Mai Dangxiong thinks he is better than Yuan Heping, which he believes Lin Daoqiu can definitely see.

If you want to make a real blockbuster, you should choose yourself as the director.

Because compared to Yuan Heping, only he can shoot truly shocking scenes.
