Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1258 You Are Really Playing
Everyone at the scene was ready, but Shen Wei, the protagonist of this scene, foolishly thought that the scene of burning the car this time was just lighting the surroundings and pretending that the car was on fire.

But what he never expected was that in order to pursue the real McDonald, he actually poured gasoline on the car.

"Get ready... light the fire... start..."

When the actor Lin Wei ignited the car, the fire engulfed the whole car at once.

Mai Dangxiong had already set up a camera in the car to capture Shen Wei's fearful reaction clearly.

Shen Wei has been struggling desperately in the car, he has realized that this is not a fake game, but a real car fire.

Except for Mai Dangxiong, everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, hoping that Mai Dangxiong would give orders to put out the fire as soon as possible, because the fire had already engulfed the entire car.

At this moment, Mai Dangxiong gave Lin Wei a look, and the other party immediately picked up the fire extinguisher next to him to put out the fire.

After the filming of the scene was over, Shen Wei got out of the car, without further ado, found a knife at the scene, and started chasing down Mai Dangxiong.

"I hacked you to death, you are so fucking serious, I was almost burned to death by you, do you know?"

If it weren't for the crowds at the scene, I'm afraid Mai Dangxiong would have been hacked by Shen Wei.

And this incident quickly spread throughout the studio, and even Lin Daoqiu heard this interesting gossip in his office the next day.

"McDangxiong likes to pursue a sense of reality. It's really not good to do it this way. Thanks to the people at the scene who stopped Shen Wei, otherwise McDonald's would have been in the hospital by now."

When Fang Jinsheng talked about it, he didn't know whether to laugh or not.

Lin Daoqiu was very calm about this, because he had heard about this matter in his previous life, but he did not expect that Mai Dangxiong would remain the same in this life.

"Compared with Mai Dangxiong, there are actually many such characters in the Xiangjiang film circle, and Cheng Gang is one of them."

Speaking of Cheng Gang, many people may not know him, but he has a very famous son named Cheng Xiaodong.

But in fact, Cheng Gang is actually older than Li Hanxiang. When Li Hanxiang was still working as a screenwriter, Cheng Gang was already a well-known director.

It is said that Cheng Gang can memorize dozens of scripts. At that time, Li Hanxiang wanted to find an old script but couldn't find it, so he took a tape recorder and went to Cheng Gang to solve it.

Cheng Gang once made a movie called "The Gambler's Big Scam", and later "God of Gamblers" and "Gambler" both borrowed from this movie.

Li Hanxiang, who has been in the film industry for many years, once said that Cheng Gang's screenwriting skills are considered second, and no one dares to admit that he is the first.

"It is said that this old gentleman has not filmed for a long time, and now he is in Baodao. I heard that he seems to have something to do with Deng Guangrong."

Fang Jinsheng had heard about Cheng Gang before, but the rumors about him were already more than ten years ago.

"Deng Guangrong opened a film company and went to find Cheng Gang to make a movie, but because Cheng Gang was over budget and delayed, he was stubborn and refused to compromise. One day there was a conflict between the two, and Deng Guangrong couldn't bear it and slapped Cheng Gang."

After being beaten, Cheng Gang left angrily, saying that he would never work for Deng Guangrong again, so naturally the film was not made, and Deng Guangrong suffered a lot.

After Fang Jinsheng heard it, he realized that it turned out that Cheng Gang had a conflict with Deng Guangrong, which caused him to not be filming these years.

"Actually, that's not true. Cheng Gang is the director of Shaw Brothers. If he is in any trouble, Uncle Liu will come forward to help him. No one will dare to give Uncle Liu face. The reason why he didn't make a movie is probably because Because of his character."

It's okay for a director to overspend and delay, but if he is not humane and unwilling to compromise, I am afraid that there should be only a handful of people who are willing to invest in him.

Speaking of this Cheng Gang, Lin Daoqiu thought of his son Cheng Xiaodong. It was really hard for Cheng Xiaodong to grow up under the hands of a violent father like Cheng Gang.

…………

In the evening, Cheng Xiaodong came home as usual. When he took out the key and opened the door, he found that the light was on in the house.

When he walked into the living room, he found Cheng Gang sitting there drinking tea slowly.

"Dad, when did you come back?"

Cheng Gang had been staying in Baodao before, and rarely returned to Xiangjiang, so Cheng Xiaodong was very surprised by Cheng Gang's appearance.

Cheng Gang put down the cup, then slowly raised his head and glanced at Cheng Xiaodong.

"What's wrong? This is my home, can't I come back?"

Cheng Xiaodong began to tense up. What he was most afraid of was his father. In front of his father, Cheng Xiaodong would become very timid.

"Look at what you said, how could I have such an idea, I hope you come back to Xiangjiang to live, so that I can take care of you nearby."

Cheng Xiaodong walked over with a smile all over his face, and then quickly poured water into Cheng Gang's cup.

"You still have filial piety."

Cheng Gang glanced at Cheng Xiaodong, and then asked, "I heard you've been busy making an amazing movie recently?"

The movie Cheng Gang was talking about was naturally referring to the movie "The Meeting of Heroes".

Cheng Xiaodong nodded. He was appointed by Lin Daoqiu to join the director team of "The Heroes" to assist Mai Jia.

"Mr. Lin is really amazing. It is said that all the stars of Xiangjiang will be invited to participate in this play, even the actors who play tricks are all stars."

Being able to have such an appeal shows how influential Lin Daoqiu is in Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Lin's influence is really extraordinary. Everyone thought that Mr. Lin wanted to dominate Xiangjiang's film industry, but I didn't expect that the sixth uncle would snatch the theater... and take it over."

Cheng Gang had been by Run Run Shaw's side for many years, if Cheng Xiaodong spoke ill of Run Run Shaw in front of him, he would probably be beaten to death by Cheng Gang.

"You guys, don't look at who Sixth Uncle is. After all these years in Xiangjiang, only Sixth Uncle can be called a real movie tycoon."

Cheng Gang respected Sixth Uncle very much, and Cheng Xiaodong didn't dare to argue with him about this.

However, in Cheng Xiaodong's view, there is only one movie tycoon in Xiangjiang in the future, and that must be Lin Daoqiu.

"But the sixth uncle is not young anymore, and Mr. Lin is only 25 years old this year, so it can be said that he has a bright future, let alone a "Godzilla" sweeping the box office around the world, which was unimaginable before. .”

Back then in Cheng Gang's era, if he could make a movie with a box office of over one million, he could be crowned the title of great director.

But if you compare it with Lin Daoqiu, it's nothing short of trivial.

"If only you had come a few months earlier, maybe the director of the play "The Meeting of Heroes" would be yours."

Cheng Xiaodong flattered Cheng Gang a little, although he didn't really think so.
