Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1264 No such person?
Regardless of Hong Kong movies in the previous life or the era in which Lin Daoqiu lived, comedy and action movies are the loudest and most representative of the two genres of Hong Kong movies.

Although there have been many excellent literary and niche films released during the period, on the whole, there are very few romantic films that can become the annual box office champion.

From the one-armed sword in 1969 to last year's "Godzilla" by Lin Daoqiu, the box office champions over the years are either action or comedy movies.

Lin Daoqiu has no intention of changing this reality, after all, this is a very normal thing.

If Xiangjiang's film style is forcibly changed to that of a literary film, it is tantamount to seeking a dead end.

However, if a batch of high-quality love and niche movies can be produced every year, Lin Daoqiu still hopes to see them, otherwise the movies will be too monotonous.

As far as Lin Daoqiu can remember, Xiangjiang can make romantic movies, and there are many good directors.

Directors like Xu Anhua, Guan Jinpeng, Chen Kexin, and Zhang Wanting are really good at making romance films.

But no one knows where Chen Kexin is now. As for the romance film made by Xu Anhua, it is not the kind that Lin Daoqiu wants.

The remaining Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Wanting are good choices. Now that I have two films in my hands, "The Untouchable Lover" and "The Love Between Ghosts and Ghosts", Lin Daoqiu is considering whether he can invite them to direct.

Although Lin Daoqiu has been a screenwriter for so long, he has also filmed many film and television dramas, but he has never tried to direct a movie of this type.

And Lin Daoqiu doesn't like being a director, he prefers to be a screenwriter and producer, maybe because he doesn't want to spend too much energy on it, or because he is too lazy.

Calling Fang Jinsheng in, Lin Daoqiu asked him to check the information of Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Wanting.

Before meeting the other party, Lin Daoqiu had to find out about the current situation of these two people.

For Lin Daoqiu, it was not difficult at all to investigate the two directors of Xiangjiang. After less than an hour, Fang Jinsheng sent the compiled materials to Lin Daoqiu.

Guan Jinpeng has been working in Zhucheng Film Company all the time, but as for Zhang Wanting, there is something wrong.

"I'm sorry boss, there doesn't seem to be a director named Zhang Wanting in the film industry."

Lin Daoqiu raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and then looked at Fang Jinsheng with shocked eyes.

Fang Jinsheng didn't know what he did wrong, it was the first time he was looked at by Lin Daoqiu with such eyes, which made him suddenly feel at a loss.

"Oh...it's okay, you can go to work first, I will read these materials slowly."

After a while, Lin Daoqiu recovered from the shock, but he didn't say anything to Fang Jinsheng.

After Fang Jinsheng left, Lin Daoqiu became more and more confused.

"How could there be no Zhang Wanting?"

Lin Daoqiu couldn't figure it out, but Maggie Cheung was a very famous director in the Hong Kong film industry, and she directed Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong's "Autumn Fairy Tale".

And there are also well-known films such as "Seven Little Fortunes", "Eight Liang Gold", "I Love Twisted Chai", "Song Family Dynasty" and other well-known movies. How could it be impossible to find her information.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu didn't know that Maggie Cheung had just graduated from New York University's film department and was preparing to shoot a graduation film. She was currently looking for funds in Xiangjiang.

Before that, Maggie Cheung worked as a director at Hong Kong Radio Station and TV Station successively. She participated in the production of TV programs and TV series, but never made a movie.

If Fang Jinsheng checked from the director's side, he would naturally not be able to find Zhang Wanting. This is a very normal thing.

Although he didn't know what went wrong, Lin Daoqiu couldn't solve it, so he could only focus on Guan Jinpeng.

Fortunately, Guan Jinpeng's historical trajectory did not deviate too much. Like his previous life, he still worked in Zhucheng, and most of the time he served as assistant director and assistant director.

And when Lin Daoqiu asked Fang Jinsheng to investigate Guan Jinpeng, the other party was filming his first movie "Women's Heart".

Originally, the protagonists of this play were Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong, but Zhucheng did not invite Zhong Chuhong. First, it was because of the price, and second, New Oriental hardly let its actors go out to take on the show.

So the original role played by Zhong Chuhong was replaced by another female star, Zheng Yuling.

For Lin Daoqiu, he actually doesn't care what Kwan Jinpeng is doing now, because the movie that really made him famous is not his current "Woman's Heart" but the later "Rouge Button".

If you compare the two dramas "The Untouchable Lover" and "The Love of the Ghost", the ending of "The Love of the Ghost" is obviously not the kind of happy ending.

If Guan Jinpeng is allowed to shoot, "The Love of Ghosts" seems to be more suitable for him. After all, it is more or less similar to the "Rouge Button" he will shoot later.

…………

"Wanting, when did you return to Xiangjiang?"

After the Golden Statue Awards, Yu Teng can be said to have relaxed a lot for the time being. It was widely rumored that she will soon be the CEO of Commercial Station, and she is still in the stage of negotiation.

"It's been a while since I came back, and I've been busy with my graduation work recently."

Zhang Wanting had some contact with Yu Teng when she was working at Xiangjiang Radio Station, and the two are old friends.

In the previous life, Maggie Cheung collaborated with classmates Luo Qirui and Jing Yongzhuo from the film department of the university, like filming the graduation work "Illegal Immigrant".

However, due to the lack of funds, they found Shaw Brothers and raised 100 million Hong Kong dollars for the filming of this film.

And this low-cost movie was released in 1985, and finally sold for 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as a good report card.

However, the Shaw Brothers film company is no longer around, so Zhang Wanting can't find the Shaw Brothers to raise funds like she did in her previous life.

When she returned to Xiangjiang, she had been trying to figure out a way, but because the "Illegal Immigrant" she was going to shoot was a feature film, which was not popular with investors, she searched for a long time but no one was willing to invest in her.

In desperation, Zhang Wanting could only ask Yu Ting for help. After all, she is the executive president of the Film Awards Preparatory Committee and has a lot of face in the film industry. As long as she is willing to help, it will definitely be no problem to raise the money.

"If you need help from me, if you have anything, just ask."

Yu Teng is a very straightforward person. She knows that Zhang Wanting is a very talented person, and she suddenly found her, she must be asking for something.

Zhang Wanting is not a person who likes to ask for help, but on the other hand, she really wants to make the movie "Illegal Immigration".

So when Yu Cheng finished speaking, she nodded, and then told Yu Cheng about her affairs.
