Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 129
Back in the room, Cheng Xiaodong, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun were already waiting for him.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu walked in, everyone started discussing the next movie to be filmed.

"Luo Lelin will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the other supporting roles will also come over one after another."

In addition to Wen Jun being the screenwriter this time, Lin Daoqiu also gave him and Zheng Danrui the title of assistant director.

"This "Lotus Hegemony" is initially scheduled for [-] episodes. I hope everyone will work together to make this drama a good one."

This TV series filmed in Singapore was once a smash hit, and the theme song and ending song "Jianghu Road" and "Looking Back Again" were also very popular at the time.

Since "Swordsman" couldn't be filmed, Lin Daoqiu simply took out this drama and adapted it a little bit.

The original Meng Xinghun was renamed Duanlang and was played by Leslie Cheung, while Bai Yuchuan was placed on Chen Yulian's head by Lin Daoqiu.

Miao Kexiu has already agreed to take the role of Feng Erniang, Sun Xiaodie changed her name to Nangongmeng and played by Mao Shunyun.

As for Luo Lelin, Bai Biao, Zeng Jiang, and Wan Ziliang, they played Gao Xiang, Ye Qun, Nan Gongjun, and Nan Gongjian respectively.

Before coming, Lin Daoqiu had already asked Luo Wen to sing the opening and ending songs of the TV series "Jianghu Road" and "Looking Back Again", and there were two versions in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Now the rough draft of the script for the first ten episodes has been completed, and Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun are in charge of finishing it.

"Mr. Lin, before the filming starts, I hope that the protagonists can train with me for a period of time. After all, it's not easy to fight in this movie."

After all, Leslie Cheung, Chen Yulian and Mao Shunyun have no experience in making martial arts movies at all. This time they want to take the lead, and they have to train for a period of time.

Cheng Xiaodong didn't expect them to become kung fu stars after such a short training, but at least they looked better when they were doing moves.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had already thought about this before, and he also told Chen Yulian and the others about this in advance, and the three of them had no objection to it.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of time for this movie, and I have to do things like costumes, scenes, scripts, etc., and I can't turn on the machine for a while, so you have at least a month to prepare."

Cheng Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, what he was most afraid of was to drive the ducks to the shelves, and let him make Leslie Cheung and the others very capable of fighting in a few days.

Although he has done many things like this, if possible, Cheng Xiaodong still hopes to have enough preparation time, after all, this is also for better shooting effect.

"I plan to build a Nangong Castle in China Film Studio. Ari and I will handle this matter. Wen Jun, you will stay and be responsible for finishing the rough draft, and you will be responsible for the other matters of picking up people."

It was not difficult for Wen Jun to revise the manuscript and accept it, so he readily nodded and agreed.

After the division of labor is completed, Lin Daoqiu plans to take a break today and start working tomorrow.

After all, it can be said that there are too many things to do in the preparatory work of this drama, and even the costumes have not been done yet.

However, there are many tailors from the mainland on Baodao, and they can start after Zhang Shuping comes over.

Now he is not the hall-level art master who won awards and got soft hands in later generations. He just heard that the producer of "Master Qian" asked him to do art design, and he agreed without thinking much.

After assigning tasks, everyone left Lin Daoqiu's room.

Just when Lin Daoqiu was planning to use this time to write the script, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Lin Daoqiu went to open the door and found that it was Leslie Cheung who came to him.

"Why didn't you rest? Aren't you tired?"

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he invited Leslie Cheung into the room.

While pouring water for the other party, Lin Daoqiu was also observing Leslie Cheung, and he found that the other party seemed a little nervous.

"Drink water." Passing the water to Leslie Cheung, Lin Daoqiu returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, then just looked at the other party without speaking.

Swallowing his own saliva, Leslie Cheung put down the cup after drinking casually.

In fact, he came today to discuss the plot of "Lotus Contest" with Lin Daoqiu. To be precise, he wanted Lin Daoqiu to change the script.

"Mr. Lin, I have something... I want to discuss it with you."

Leslie Cheung looked very reserved, and it seemed that his words were a bit difficult to say.

"Just tell me if you have something to say, and there are no outsiders here?"

Lin Daoqiu found it very strange that today Leslie Cheung was very different from the usual one who said whatever he wanted.

"I heard that in "Lotus Contest", Bai Yuchuan and I have an emotional scene, can... can Mr. Lin change it so that we don't have an emotional scene."

Leslie Cheung was worried that if he had an emotional scene with Chen Yulian, Mao Shunyun would be unhappy, after all they were also a couple in the scene.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't know this, he thought Leslie Cheung's request was very strange.

"Why? Can you tell me why?"

Leslie Cheung also knew that his request was too much, but he really liked Mao Shunyun and didn't want her to have any misunderstandings.

"I'm afraid Mao Mao will misunderstand me, but I'm actually pursuing her now."

After Leslie Cheung finished speaking, he felt that the burden in his heart was relieved a lot.

But what he never expected was that after Lin Daoqiu listened, the expression on his face suddenly became very serious.

"I won't change the script, but I can change the leading actor. If you don't want to act, you can go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow. I'll book a ticket for you right now."

Lin Daoqiu was a little angry, because Leslie Cheung's request was simply making trouble out of no reason. If it wasn't because he was still young, Lin Daoqiu would have yelled at him long ago.

It's just a joke to change the most important part of the plot in "Lotus Contest" just for such a small request.

"No, no, no...Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. I don't want to act. I just hope that Maomao won't be misunderstood. I have no other intentions."

Leslie Cheung was taken aback. He originally thought that if he had a good discussion with Lin Daoqiu, maybe the other party would understand him and revise the script.

But I didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so angry, and even said that he wanted to change the actor, which shocked Leslie Cheung.

"Mr. Zhang, there is a sentence I hope you can remember."

For the first time, Lin Daoqiu did not call Fang Rong Shao, but directly called him Mr. Zhang, which showed that he was already very angry: "Please remember that you are an actor first, and then Leslie Cheung. Please go out now."

Now I don't want to talk to Leslie Cheung, at that moment Lin Daoqiu even thought about changing Luo Lelin as the leading actor, lest Leslie Cheung don't know what kind of moth he will make later.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I said something wrong just now, please forgive me, I won't do it next time."

Leslie Cheung did not expect that the request he made would make Lin Daoqiu so angry. It was the first time he saw Lin Daoqiu get angry with his own eyes, and it was really scary.

　Thank you, Fengjian Xixue for your big reward!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
