Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1290

The play that Lin Daoqiu wants to make is called "Wesley Legend", which is adapted from Ni Kuang's "Wesley" series of novels.

The "Wesley" series is considered a well-known science fiction novel in Xiangjiang, and it is also one of Ni Kuang's famous works.

However, since Lin Daoqiu wanted to make a film, it was naturally impossible to use the name "Wesley", and he did not intend to refer to the story in it to write.

As for the cast of this drama, Lin Daoqiu still plans to find the combination of Xu Guanjie, Di Lon and Wang Zuxian.

Deep in the desert, a group of tomb robbers accidentally opened an underground tomb.

In the ancient tomb with many traps, those tomb robbers suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, the only person who survived managed to take away several treasures in the ancient tomb, and escaped smoothly.

The camera turned and the sight came to Xiangjiang. In a luxurious villa, wealthy businessmen and celebrities gathered. Today, a charity auction will be held in this luxurious villa.

The starring role of Xu Guanjie is a treasure hunter named Xu Zhenbang. He has always robbed the rich and helped the poor. The reason why he appears here today is because all the stolen goods will be auctioned in this auction.

Lin Daoqiu's level of storytelling is top-notch, and Wang Jing and Wang Zuxian's ears stretched out to listen carefully to what he was saying.

After that, Xu Zhenbang stole the treasure, but was attacked by a mysterious person. After the fight, he found that the other party was a woman.

Then Xu Zhenbang followed the other party to another place, and here he knew that the girl he was fighting with was named Lin Susu, who belonged to a very famous and powerful family in Xiangjiang.

The reason why they approached Xu Zhenbang was because Lin Susu and the others wanted to ask Xu Zhenbang for help to go to the ancient tomb in the desert and find the corpse of their ancestor.

"Lin Susu should be the character played by Ms. Wang, right?"

When Lin Daoqiu stopped for a sip of tea, Wang Jing hurriedly asked.

Lin Daoqiu nodded. Lin Susu is indeed Wang Zuxian's role, and her brother will be played by Ti Lung.

Although the difference between the two is more than 20 years old, Wang Zuxian's appearance is relatively mature. As long as the two of them dress up a little, there will be absolutely no sense of disobedience.

"Lin Zhentian, I plan to cast Ti Lung as the actor, and Hui Guanjie as the leading actor Xu Zhenbang."

Wang Jing doesn't have any right to speak in casting, and Lin Daoqiu can do what he says, but if he were to choose, he might not be able to choose better people than Lin Daoqiu found.

But Wang Jing felt that if Jackie Chan was to act in this play, it should be more suitable than Xu Guanjie, but naturally he would not say so.

In fact, even if Jackie Chan is not looking for, Yuen Biao is also very suitable, but Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are probably insulated from New Oriental.

"Mr. Lin is very thoughtful, and the roles are very suitable. I don't have any opinions."

Even if Wang Jing had an opinion, he didn't dare to say it. Although Lin Daoqiu chose all three main actors, since he didn't say anything about the other actors, he should decide by himself.

As for the plot of this play, although Lin Daoqiu only gave a rough outline, it is enough for Wang Jing.

After all, what Lin Daoqiu told him at the time was that the other party would come up with a story, and he would fill in the rest of the plot.

However, Wang Jing had never made a sci-fi film before, and Lin Daoqiu was obviously not at ease if he was asked to do it alone. After all, Lin Daoqiu knew exactly what style Wang Jing was good at.

So for this play, Lin Daoqiu intends to let Wang Jing act as the screenwriter and producer. As for the director, he has another candidate in his mind.

…………

In 1983, Shaw Brothers once produced a film called "Interstellar Blunt".

Shaw Brothers didn't know what they were thinking at the time, so they spent tens of millions to find director Zhang Guoming, starring Yi Lei and Zhong Chuhong, as well as screenwriters Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, to make this inexplicable sci-fi film.

This drama won a box office of 600 million at the time, but compared with the investment, it can be said to be a mess.

Although the box office of this movie is very average, it can be regarded as a rare large-scale sci-fi movie in Xiangjiang in this era
As the director of this film, Zhang Guoming actually made promotional videos on TV at the beginning, and then switched to movies.

However, the performances of his films are very average, and they are all small productions with low cost, although they hardly have much popularity.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu asked him to make this movie was because Zhang Guoming had experience in making sci-fi movies, and Xiangjiang just happened to lack such talents.

Science fiction movies have not yet developed, the biggest reason is that the special effects can not keep up, not because the subject matter is too small.

The magic studio in the hands of Lin Daoqiu is one of the most famous special effects studios in the world at this time, and the special effects technology has been developing rapidly.

But these developed technologies must be applied to shooting, otherwise no one knows how the effect will be.

As a person who grew up in Shaw Brothers, if Wang Jing wanted to inquire about someone, it would definitely not be difficult for him.

Since Zhang Guoming finished filming "Interstellar Blunt", he has moved behind the scenes, and occasionally participated in the behind-the-scenes production of some movies.

Wang Jing asked a friend to make an appointment with Zhang Guoming, and then found a time to invite him out for tea.

At first, Zhang Guoming thought it was Wang Jing who wanted to see him, so he came out for the appointment without thinking too much.

But when he arrived at the place, he found that besides Wang Jing, there was a young man at the scene, and this young man looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Director Zhang, this is Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin, you should have heard his name before?"

Seeing Zhang Guoming looking at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously after he came in, Wang Jing knew that he had never met Lin Daoqiu, so he took the initiative to introduce him.

When Zhang Guoming heard that the young man next to Wang Jing was the famous Lin Daoqiu, Zhang Guoming's body immediately tensed up, and his mind went blank.

Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and extended his hand to Zhang Guoming with a smile.

"Hi Director Zhang, I'm Lin Daoqiu, nice to meet you."

"Lin... Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Zhang Guoming, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you at first."

It is impossible for Zhang Guoming not to be nervous. The young man in front of him with a smile on his face is one of the most important figures in the Xiangjiang film industry.

As long as the other party stomps their feet a little, the film world will probably be shocked.

"Today, Mr. Lin actually asked me to invite Director Zhang to drink tea."

What Zhang Guoming didn't expect was that it wasn't Wang Jing but Lin Daoqiu who wanted to see him today.

He was just an unknown person, but Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to ask him to meet. Zhang Guoming's mind became a mess all of a sudden, and he was eager to know why Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to ask him out.
