Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1274 Written According to Her
After staying in Shaw Brothers for so many years, Cheng Gang and those directors are already old acquaintances. If he wants to ask, he can easily understand Lin Daoqiu's character from the other party's mouth.

"Director Cheng, the reason why I want to invite you to direct "An Embroidered Shoe" is because I want to add some different types of movies to Xiangjiang Films. I hope you can play a leading role."

It's not that other than Cheng Gang couldn't make "An Embroidered Shoe" well.

But in Lin Daoqiu's view, with Cheng Gang's prudent and responsible attitude, it shouldn't be difficult to make this movie perfect.

As for the problem of overspend and timeout, as long as it is not too serious, Lin Daoqiu will not take the initiative to ask.

And basically, when giving the budget, Lin Daoqiu will almost always give them a very sufficient budget, not the kind of betting to the extreme.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to have such high expectations of me. Cheng is really ashamed, but since Mr. Lin has said so, it would be shameful if I refused again."

Cheng Gang felt that it would be too disrespectful to Lin Daoqiu if he refused again, and what Lin Daoqiu said just now resonated with Cheng Gang very much.

If his ability can make Xiangjiang's movies more colorful, Cheng Gang will naturally not refuse to take this movie.

"Thank you, Director Cheng, for being willing to join me in digging out more themes for Xiangjiang to make my own contribution. I'm here to offer you a toast."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu raised the cup, Cheng Gang quickly stood up from the chair, then held the cup in both hands and had a drink with Lin Daoqiu.

Now that he has agreed to take over as the director of "An Embroidered Shoe", Cheng Gang's previous concerns have been completely forgotten by him.

After the two had a drink, as soon as they sat down, Cheng Gang began to chat about the preparations for "An Embroidered Shoe".

"As for the script of the movie, I can't start writing until I finish the novel. As for the budget of this movie, I'm afraid I can't confirm it until I finish writing the script."

Cheng Gang didn't think about Lin Daoqiu in front of him at all when writing the script. He planned to handle the adaptation of the novel into a movie by himself.

Regarding Cheng Gang's decision, Lin Daoqiu did not express any objection. Anyway, the script can be changed. If he is not satisfied with the writing at that time, he can ask him to change it.

However, if Cheng Gang wanted to see the full version of "An Embroidered Shoe" before deciding to write the script, I'm afraid he would have to wait for a while.

Because Lin Daoqiu's progress in writing novels is not fast, he expects "An Embroidered Shoe" to be around 30 words.

At his current speed, it will take at least half a month to finish writing the novel.

""An Embroidered Shoe" will be finished in about half a month. Tomorrow I will have someone send the finished story to Director Cheng's house."

Cheng Gang nodded immediately when he heard it, so that he wouldn't have to stay up until twelve o'clock every night to catch up on the serial.

But reading novels by yourself and listening to novels on the radio are two completely different experiences.

Even if it is the same novel, it can be said that there is a world of difference between reading and listening.

"Now that I've reached this point, I want to hear what Director Cheng recommends for the protagonist of this play?"

In "An Embroidered Shoe" written by Lin Daoqiu, the most prominent feature is the heroine, and the hero is only used to advance the plot.

So what is certain is that in Lin Daoqiu's version of "An Embroidered Shoe", the heroine is the soul of the whole play.

Although Cheng Gang has not watched the whole "An Embroidered Shoe", Cheng Gang had fantasized about who the heroine should find to play.

But at this moment, Cheng Xiaodong coughed twice on purpose suddenly, bringing Cheng Gang who was thinking about something back to reality.

Turning his head to look at his son, Cheng Gang didn't understand why Cheng Xiaodong interrupted his thinking.

But before Cheng Gang had time to ask, he suddenly found Cheng Xiaodong's eyes strange, and glanced in the direction of his eyes, Cheng Gang suddenly realized, he immediately realized what Cheng Xiaodong wanted to say to himself.

From the beginning to the end, Zhong Chuhong, who hardly said anything, was listening to them discussing "An Embroidered Shoe", or eating hot pot.

She never thought that the movie "An Embroidered Shoe" would have anything to do with her.

"I think Ms. Zhong is very suitable to be the heroine of this play."

Cheng Gang is not a fool. When he came in just now, Cheng Xiaodong had hinted at the relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong.

Zhong Chuhong's qualifications are naturally nothing to say, appearance, figure, and fame, these three points are considered top-level existences in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry.

And coupled with the relationship between her and Lin Daoqiu, anyone with a little discernment would know what to say at this moment.

Zhong Chuhong, who originally planned to be an audience, suddenly became the focus of the dinner, and she was not prepared at all.

Zhong Chuhong, who stared wide-eyed, didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Director Cheng is joking, right? Let me play the heroine of this play?"

As soon as Cheng Gang heard it, he knew that Lin Daoqiu must have never told Zhong Chuhong about this matter before, which further strengthened his idea of ​​finding Zhong Chuhong to play the heroine.

"Miss Zhong is very suitable in every aspect. I even thought that the heroine in "An Embroidered Shoe" might be written according to Miss Zhong's model."

Cheng just said the first half of the sentence well, but he started to make up the second half of the sentence.

It would be fine if Zhong Chuhong didn't know that this novel was written by Lin Daoqiu, but she already knew it in the car just now, so she was surprised and immediately turned her head to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu felt that he was wronged. He never thought that Cheng Gang would say this in front of Zhong Chuhong. It is not right for him to admit it now, nor is it right not to admit it.

"Is this really the case? If this is the case, then after the serialization of the novel is finished, I have to read it from beginning to end."

Originally, Lin Daoqiu had written "The Untouchable Lover" for her before, but now he wrote "An Embroidered Shoe" according to her. Zhong Chuhong must be lying if he said he was unhappy.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu didn't dare to say a word other than apologizing.

Originally, I just wanted to discuss the heroine of this play with Cheng Gang, but now unless Zhong Chuhong strongly objects, otherwise, the heroine of "An Embroidered Shoes" must be played by Zhong Chuhong.

"I think Director Cheng's statement is exactly the same as what I thought. It is definitely the best choice for Ah Hong to act in this movie."

Lin Daoqiu knew when to say something, no, just after he finished speaking, the smile on Zhong Chuhong's face became stronger.

Seeing this, Lin Daoqiu suddenly felt that what Cheng Gang did might not necessarily be a bad thing.
