Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1388 Differences in Creation
"Brother Qiu, do you have any specific ideas about this play?"

Zheng Danrui looked at Lin Daoqiu curiously.

If you can get the outline or part of the plot from Lin Daoqiu, then you can obviously avoid a lot of detours when creating for them.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu told them to shoot [-] episodes first, but Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui really didn't have a clue for a while.

"My idea for this drama is very simple. It is a pure urban sitcom, mainly shot indoors, and the story mainly revolves around the stories of the parents of a family on weekdays."

"It can be funny, it can be warm, or it can be social news and current events. Anyway, stories that happen in the lives of ordinary people can be included."

Speaking of which, this type of TV series seems to be very simple, with a wide range of themes in creation, and it seems that there are not too high requirements for the ability of screenwriters.

But in fact, this kind of drama generally needs to shoot at least a hundred episodes, and each episode has a different theme, which really tests the screenwriter's ability.

"You can write the script in advance. It is best to write the plot in stages, set the characteristics of each main character, and then you can write the plot based on their characteristics."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui nodded while listening, while Liu Zhenwei on the side looked annoyed, because he didn't bring a pen and paper with him, so he couldn't write down what Lin Daoqiu said.

But Liu Zhenwei immediately thought of a solution. He immediately went to the waiter of the restaurant to bring a pen and paper, and then recorded all the key points that Lin Daoqiu said just now.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were naturally very happy to have such a diligent follower. Although they didn't know Liu Zhenwei's ability as a screenwriter, since he was handpicked by Lin Daoqiu to join Dongshi, his strength should not be too bad.

Just as Lin Daoqiu and Wen Jun were chatting, Teddy Robin, Tsui Hark and others had already walked over here.

"Mr. Lin, Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Tsui Hark has been busy preparing the movie "Swordsman" with Hu Jinquan recently, judging from his radiant expression, he seems to be doing well recently.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu saw Tsui Hark, he remembered that the conflict between him and Hu Jinquan in the last life ended with Hu Jinquan's withdrawal.

Now "Swordsman" has not started filming, and the conflict between Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan has not yet broken out, so he is naturally very happy.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai, how is the preparation for Director Xu's new play?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu mentioned this matter, the smile on Tsui Hark's face became wider.

"Thanks to Mr. Tuolin, the preparations for this film are progressing very smoothly. The manuscript has almost been written. In about two months, we will be able to enter the stage of filming."

The script was discussed by Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan, but Hu Jinquan was still responsible for most of it.

But for Tsui Hark, the biggest problem now is who decides who will play the leading actor. This is really a big problem.

Leslie Cheung, whom he originally preferred, was unwilling to take this role, which annoyed Tsui Hark very much.

"Cooperating with Director Hu requires a lot of patience. He is knowledgeable and talented, and has a solid foundation in Chinese studies. If you can cooperate well by then, this drama will definitely become a classic."

Although Lin Daoqiu knew that this was almost impossible, he still hoped that the impossible would become a reality because of his time travel.

Even Lin Daoqiu had already thought about it. If the two of them still had irreconcilable conflicts like in the previous life, he could only choose not to help each other.

It's just that Tsui Hark didn't know what Lin Daoqiu was thinking, he thought the other party was just talking casually, and he didn't take this matter too seriously.

"The "Working Emperor" made a good start with a box office of 350 million on its first day. Mai Jia told me before that she plans to make a sequel to "Best Partner". When do you plan to prepare this movie?"

Lin Daoqiu has already made plans to launch "Best Partner" in next year's Spring Festival.

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Teddy Robin didn't know what to say, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Teddy Robin puzzled, he didn't understand what was wrong with what he just said.

"I've talked with the bald man a few times, but I'm not very interested in his proposal. I think since there is going to be a sequel, there should be major changes."

Teddy Robin wants to make some changes to "Best Partner", preferably with some breakthroughs, such as a different plot than before.

However, Maijia felt that the previous style of "Best Partner" should be continued, and the box office would be more guaranteed if it was filmed this way.

As a result, because of this, Teddy Robin and Mai Jia had a very unhappy chat. Although it would not be a place where they broke up, Teddy Robin's thoughts on making this drama have faded a lot.

"You solve your own affairs by yourself. Anyway, I am only responsible for investing money."

Lin Daoqiu can't say anything about it. After all, it is very common to have disagreements in creation, even with very good partners, this situation often occurs.

Wu Yusen and Tsui Hark finally chose to part ways because of their differences in creation and could not be adjusted.

Originally, Teddy Robin hoped that Lin Daoqiu could stand on his side, but it seems that the other party does not intend to interfere with their creative affairs.

But this is also a good thing for New Art City. After all, if Lin Daoqiu really intervenes in New Art City's film creation, although it will benefit them a lot.

But if it happens at that time, when there is a disagreement with Lin Daoqiu in creation, their opposition at that time will obviously not play a big role in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that although we have some differences for the time being, I believe this matter should be resolved soon."

At this time, Mai Jia also brought Huang Baiming over.

From a distance, he heard Teddy Robin and Lin Daoqiu talking about "Best Partner".

"Hey dwarf, are you speaking ill of me in front of Mr. Lin again?"

"Come on, am I the kind of person who makes small reports? It's just that Mr. Lin asked about "Best Partner", and I will answer it truthfully."

Mai Jia directly gave the other party a supercilious look.

"Mr. Lin, don't believe this short man's words. If the sequel is made according to his ideas, the budget will explode."

"I'm also doing it for the good of the movie. As long as the filming is good, I don't think it's a big problem to add some money."

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that Mai Jia and Teddy Robin would quarrel in front of him. You must know that it's the New Year's Eve, and it's still at the celebration banquet of "The Working Emperor".
