Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1279 Drinking morning tea

Although it's not a blessing in disguise, but because of those reporters' scribbles, Brigitte Lin's cold war with Lin Daoqiu has temporarily come to an end.

Even though he hadn't recovered to smile at Lin Daoqiu like before, he still let him into the room with half push and half push at night.

Lin Daoqiu really wanted to thank that reporter who wrote scribbles.

If he hadn't made it up, I don't know how long it would take to coax it to achieve the current effect.

Lin Daoqiu woke up early the next day, and Brigitte Lin next to him was still fast asleep.

The two of them exercised a bit last night, and Brigitte Lin hadn't filmed recently, so they basically slept until they woke up naturally.

However, Lin Daoqiu invited Cheng Gang to have breakfast today, and by the way, talk about "An Embroidered Shoe".

The novel was given to Cheng Gang a few days ago. Although it is not finished yet, most of the plot is over, at least the plot of the story is basically clear.

"Hmm...why do you get up so early?"

Lin Qingxia felt something strange, she opened her hazy eyes and found that Lin Daoqiu had already got up.

"I've made an appointment for morning tea to talk about things, you go to bed first."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Brigitte Lin rubbed her head, then turned to look at the time on the wall, it was only 08:30 in the morning.

"I'm going too. I haven't had morning tea for many days."

Brigitte Lin suddenly wanted to drink morning tea too, so she sat up directly from the bed.

Lin Daoqiu asked Cheng Gang to talk about things, but this time he didn't bring Zhong Chuhong with him, so it's not impossible to bring Lin Qingxia with him.

But the problem now is that the heroine of "An Embroidered Shoe" is set to be Zhong Chuhong, and the author of this novel is herself.

Once Brigitte Lin knows this, I'm afraid she won't even be able to enter the gate tonight.

"Why don't you talk? I won't bother you to talk about things unless..."

Brigitte Lin's hazy eyes suddenly became sober.

When Lin Daoqiu saw her appearance, he didn't need to guess that she must have thought that it was Zhong Chuhong who had morning tea with him.

"What are you thinking, if you want to drink morning tea, go wash your face quickly, don't make people wait too long, he is a senior in the film industry."

It took less than two seconds for Brigitte Lin to finish speaking, and Lin Daoqiu immediately gave an answer.

If he showed any hesitation in front of her at this time, he would definitely be seriously suspected by the other party.

But now Lin Daoqiu has no choice at all. For him, he can only take one step at a time.

Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin showed up on time at the teahouse where he had an appointment with Cheng Gang

At first, Cheng Gang and his son thought that Lin Daoqiu would bring Zhong Chuhong with him today, after all, she is the default heroine of this drama.

But none of them expected that today it was not Zhong Chuhong but Brigitte Lin.

If we talk about the familiarity with celebrities, Cheng Gang is no stranger to Lin Qingxia during the years he stayed in Baodao.

After all, Brigitte Lin is a well-known star in Treasure Island. Even though she came to Xiangjiang a few years ago to develop, her reputation in Treasure Island has not weakened at all.

Especially after making several blockbuster films in Hollywood and becoming a top Chinese actress, she even became the light of Treasure Island.

"Qingxia, this is director Cheng Gang, Cheng Xiaodong's father."

Lin Daoqiu briefly introduced Cheng Gang's identity to Lin Qingxia.

"Hello, Miss Lin."

"Hi Director Cheng, I've heard of your name before."

Cheng Gang's originally smiling face suddenly became a little embarrassed after hearing Lin Qingxia's words.

I am afraid that the most famous thing about him in Baodao is the story of being slapped by Deng Guangrong.

"Qingxia had quite a relationship with the Shaw Brothers before. I believe she was listening to Director Cheng at that time."

Lin Daoqiu knew from Cheng Gang's expression that he must have misunderstood what Lin Qingxia said.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Six and Ms. Fang treated me very well back then. When I was filming at Shao Brothers, I heard them talk about Director Cheng."

Brigitte Lin hurriedly nodded her head in agreement, but in fact, she hardly knew Cheng Gang, that is, that incident impressed her deeply.

When Cheng Gang heard Brigitte Lin's explanation, the embarrassment on his face eased a little.

After entering the box, the four sat down separately.

This time, Cheng Xiaodong took the initiative to take the job of serving tea and water.

"Mr. Lin, I've finished reading all the stories you sent me. If the following plot doesn't fluctuate too much, I think I can start writing the script."

Since Cheng Gang promised Lin Daoqiu to take over the movie "An Embroidered Shoe", he has already devoted himself to his work.

As for the person who knows "An Embroidered Shoe" best, I believe it must be Lin Daoqiu.

What Cheng Gang wants to know is whether there will be a major reversal in the plot behind "An Embroidered Shoes". If not, he wants to start writing the script quickly.

"The following plot is not a problem. After all, the movie does not have to be completely changed according to the plot of the novel. It is enough that the overall framework does not deviate too much. I will send you the outline of the novel for a while."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't want Cheng Gang to make this movie completely according to the novel, although most readers hope that the film and television drama adapted from the novel must be written according to the plot of the novel.

But in many cases, it is difficult to imagine the difficulty of completely adapting the plot in a novel into a movie.

It's either too short or too long, and the story is too bland in places, making the movie seem bland.

At this time, the screenwriter of the movie has to use his brains to lengthen or shorten the script to increase conflict and highlights.

Therefore, the work to be done by the author of the novel and the screenwriter of the film can be said to be completely different.

Brigitte Lin was quietly on the sidelines, listening to them talking about the script while eating snacks.

But until now, she didn't know what kind of movie Lin Daoqiu and Cheng Gang were talking about.

"It would be best if there is an outline, but I still have a thorny problem. If the story of "An Embroidered Shoe" is filmed according to the length of 10 minutes, I am afraid it will be insufficient."

If "An Embroidered Shoe" is adapted into a movie, the length of 10 to [-] minutes is definitely not enough. This will inevitably cut some of the plot, and the cut will not be small.

If this is the case, which part of the plot should be deleted has become a difficult choice for Cheng Gang.

"It depends on Director Cheng's ability. If one part fails, we can make two parts. However, if "One Embroidered Shoes" is made into two parts, I am worried that the effect will be greatly reduced."

It would not be impossible for supernatural and horror films to be filmed in two episodes.

But the problem is that the story of "An Embroidered Shoe" is already very complete. If it is split into two episodes and filmed rashly, the effect will definitely not be as good as filming only one episode.

In the final analysis, it is because of this novel that there is not enough plot support to split it into two parts.
