Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1340 is still old

The matter of Wang Tianlin was put aside, and the main purpose of their meeting with Lin Daoqiu today was still about the drama "The Hero".

Zhang Guoming and Wang Jing had already written the first version of the script, and after Lin Daoqiu took it, he lowered his head and read it carefully.

Although Lin Daoqiu had told them the general plot before, even so, the two of them still couldn't write without the clichéd Hong Kong-style routines.

It's like a kung fu kid with unique skills who learns to go down the mountain, wanders around the city, meets beautiful women, and then clashes with enemies.

There was a conflict between the two sides, and then they were defeated by the enemy, and then the beauty was snatched away, and finally there was a BOSS battle to defeat the enemy and win the beauty back, and then it was a happy ending.

There is even the role of a world-class expert in it, who teaches the protagonist Kung Fu to help him become stronger after he is defeated.

Lin Daoqiu was laughing while watching, which made Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming mistakenly think that the script they wrote was very suitable for Lin Daoqiu, otherwise he would not have laughed like this.

"Do you think it's interesting to spend so much money to make this kind of old-fashioned kung fu comedy with sci-fi movies?"

After Lin Daoqiu put down the script, he looked up at Zhang Guoming and Wang Jing and asked them a question.

Originally, they expected to get Lin Daoqiu's approval, but after the other party said this, the two immediately lowered their heads in shame.

Looking at Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming in front of him, Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to say.

At first, he seemed to have too high expectations for these two people. After all, they haven't been exposed to the scripts of later generations, so they tend to write according to their previous experience.

"If you think it doesn't work, then we'll rewrite it."

Apart from this method, Zhang Guoming couldn't think of any other options.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't think they could write anything good if they re-created.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu still felt that if he wrote it himself, at least he could produce a template, even if he copied it in the future, it would be better than producing this kind of old kung fu comedy movie.

"I will write the script of this play myself, and you will be responsible for the pre-production of the film."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming's first reaction was very frustrated. After all, they spent a lot of energy on this script.

"The output of Hong Kong's old-style kung fu comedies, including kung fu comedies, has gradually decreased in recent years, and audiences have long since gotten tired of watching them."

Although Lin Daoqiu was telling the truth, it still made Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming feel uncomfortable.

After all, from the 70s to the early 80s, most of the top-grossing movies were kung fu comedies. I didn't expect that this type of movie was about to end.

"I believe you should also be very clear that action movies have replaced the market for kung fu movies. The audience's tastes are improving, and those of us who make movies have to improve our thinking. Don't always live by kung fu comedy, it's not good for everyone .”

After being taught a lesson by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming nodded while listening.

But speaking of them, they are not directors who started out with kung fu comedy, and they have too little experience in action movies, so they hardly have much experience in this area.

If you really want to find the most suitable director from Xiangjiang to shoot "Warrior", Tsui Hark may be a good choice.

But that guy is busy working on "Swordsman: The Undefeated East", so Lin Daoqiu is unlikely to recruit him to make this movie.

And because he wronged Wang Jing's relationship at the beginning, Lin Daoqiu had to give him some compensation, so he was hand-picked to let him film "Extraordinary Men".

Although this film is directed by Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming, in fact, most of it is still implementing Lin Daoqiu's will.

If you want to make "Warrior" as a model, you can't be too casual in the creation of the script.

"During the time of preparing the film, you should communicate with Dekstra and learn about special effects films by the way. This will definitely benefit you."

Naturally, Wang Jing and Zhang Guoming did not dare to object to Lin Daoqiu's decision. Although the script did not satisfy Lin Daoqiu, this time they were able to participate in the production of a blockbuster special effects film, which was by no means a bad thing for them.

…………

"Jackie Chan, Leslie Cheung, Fu Sheng, Ti Lung..."

After Lin Daoqiu returned to his office, he did not start writing the script by hand, but whispered a few names first.

The heroine of the movie "The Hero" is set to be Wang Zuxian, and this will never change.

In this case, finding a suitable actor is the most important thing.

Ti Lung is a bit old. If it had been ten years earlier, it would be absolutely no problem for him to play the male lead, and it would match well with Joey Wong's image on the screen.

After excluding Ti Lung, Jackie Chan, Leslie Cheung and Fu Sheng remained.

The investment in this film exceeds hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and it is almost impossible to recover the cost in Asia alone.

Therefore, "Warrior" still needs to be released globally. If this is the case, then it is necessary to find a suitable actor.

In addition to the above four people, Lin Daoqiu also included Tom Cruise in the list of actors.

After thinking twice, Lin Daoqiu still decided to let Cruise play the leading role. After all, this movie is not a pure Hong Kong-style movie in the true sense.

After writing down the names of Tom Cruise and Joey Wong, Lin Daoqiu thought for a while and felt that this combination should be fine.

After finalizing the list of starring roles, Lin Daoqiu began to write the script of "Heroes".

In the whole day, apart from finishing the work at hand, Lin Daoqiu spent the rest of the time writing the script.

Lin Daoqiu has already thought about the location of the filming, and it will be in North America, and this time Lin Daoqiu plans to build a branch of Magic Studio in North America.

After all, in addition to "The Incredibles", there are still many movies that need to be shot abroad in the future. It is impossible for all the movies to be produced in the magic studio in Xiangjiang.

In Lin Daoqiu's pen, at the beginning of "Phenomena", Tom Cruise's growth is the same as that of ordinary people. He grows up, enters school, and goes to university just like ordinary people.

What he doesn't know is that his life has been secretly protected and monitored by the Superman organization.

Until an accident, let Tom Cruise discover that he has a strange ability, and this ability is very powerful, far beyond his imagination.

And at this moment, some dark forces also discovered Tom Cruise's ability, so a conspiracy quietly unfolded around Tom Cruise.
