Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1406 Xiangjiang Casting
"Are you really not interested in The Green Hornet?"

Long Meyer, who hadn't seen him for a long time, made a transoceanic phone call to Lin Daoqiu and chatted about the play "The Green Hornet".

Lin Daoqiu really couldn't understand why Langmeyer suddenly thought of remaking this movie.

In other words, this movie is not considered a blockbuster, and its popularity is not high.

There are so many movies that can be invested in, why did you choose this "Green Hornet".

"I'm curious, why you are interested in this movie."

Lin Daoqiu wondered what led Langmeyer to decide to remake the film.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, Langmeyer replied with a smile.

"To be honest, I didn't even think about remaking this movie at the beginning, but Saenz came to me with the script and explained the movie to me in detail, so I started to have a strong interest in this movie. interest of."

"Saenz?"

Lin Daoqiu had never heard of this person's name, Langmeyer explained to him.

"A very ordinary director with little reputation in Hollywood."

Saenz is just an ordinary director in Hollywood, and he has always made low-budget films before. This time he had the opportunity to get in touch with Langmeyer, and he has almost used up all the good luck in his life.

If he talks to Langmeyer about his original script, Saenz is very clear that he will never pass the test.

And just before he was going to meet Langmeyer, he accidentally saw the TV series "The Green Hornet" being rebroadcasted on the TV station.

Although he didn't have much interest in this drama, Saenz suddenly realized at this moment that this might be a good opportunity for him.

Even if he doesn't have the ability to get the copyright of the play, it doesn't mean that Saenz can't write the script.

After several consecutive nights of hard 'creation', Saenz finally finished the script of "The Green Hornet", and then brought the script to see Langmeyer.

Universal has actually had the idea of ​​remaking the movie "The Green Hornet" intermittently, but it has never been realized.

And when Saenz brought the written script to Langmeyer, the other party was immediately full of interest in the play.

It's not that Saenz's script is well written, it's just that by chance, he handed over the script to Langmeyer at the right time.

"In this case, can you recommend me an actor to play Kato? I know you have many excellent action stars in your hands."

Since Lin Daoqiu is not interested in the other party's "The Green Hornet", Langmeyer will not force him to cooperate with him.

After all, Langmeyer did not have too much hope for the movie "The Green Hornet". He probably prepared a budget of 3000 million yuan to shoot this movie. Already very satisfied.

And one of the biggest highlights of the play "The Green Hornet" is the protagonist's assistant Kato, so this role must be played by an Asian, and it is best to be an excellent action star.

For Lin Daoqiu, New Oriental has many actors who can play Kato.

Both Lin Zhengying and Fu Sheng are good candidates, no matter in terms of age or skill, they are more suitable for the role of Kato.

"I have a few good candidates here. If necessary, I can let them go to the crew to audition."

Although Langmeyer has a good relationship with himself, he did not participate in the production of this play, so auditioning is a necessary process.

"That's great. Since that's the case, we've made a deal. Saenz has already left for Xiangjiang to cast a role. He plans to complete the audition in Xiangjiang."

Since the action star is to be selected, and he is still of Asian descent, there is probably no better place than Xiangjiang in the world at this time.

Saenz has already served as the director of "The Green Hornet" and set off for Xiangjiang to cast a role.

"That couldn't be better."

Hearing that the director of "The Green Hornet" was going to come to Xiangjiang to cast the cast in person, Lin Daoqiu gave him a high look.

After all, he traveled all the way from the United States to Xiangjiang to pick actors, which shows how much the director attaches importance to this drama.

…………

"Saenz, I really don't understand why you would think of traveling so far to Xiangjiang to cast a role."

When the flight arrived several times, Saenz walked out of the airport corridor with several people.

Besides some staff members, there was also an acquaintance of Lin Daoqiu who followed him.

""The Green Hornet" is my first major production directed, of course I have to handle all the details."

The 45-year-old Saenz started his career as soon as he graduated from university. He was an assistant director for many years and then became a director.

But it's a pity that before the age of 45, he made all low-cost movies, and he didn't even make a splash in Hollywood. The box office of the highest movie only broke one million dollars.

This time, it was also because of luck that he got the director of "The Green Hornet". This was regarded by Saenz as the best opportunity since he was born, so he naturally had to grasp it well.

"I believe that with your enthusiasm, "The Green Hornet" will be a great success."

It was not the first time he had set foot on the land of Xiangjiang, and Jess looked as energetic as before.

When he was in Xiangjiang last time, he was also full of hope, but when he left, he not only had a quarrel with Tom Cruise, but was also terminated by the other party from the agent's contract.

However, he was lucky. As soon as Saenz became the director of "The Green Hornet", he immediately recommended himself and became the other party's agent.

It was only a few days after he was in the role, he was told by the other party that he would go to Xiangjiang to cast a role.

I believe that the last thing Jess wants is to meet Lin Daoqiu in Xiangjiang.

After coming to the reserved hotel to stay, Saenz called Langmeyer, and Jess sat on the sofa beside him.

"Mr. Langmeyer, I have arrived in Xiangjiang."

Langmeyer on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood, and it could be heard from his voice that he was very happy now.

"I've already talked to Mr. Lin on the phone. He will recommend several outstanding action stars to audition. I believe your trip to Hong Kong will definitely be very rewarding."

Lin Daoqiu's name, for these Hollywood directors, there is almost no one who does not know him.

After knowing that he could meet Lin Daoqiu this time, Saenz also looked very happy.

"In that case, I will visit Mr. Lin tomorrow."

Jess on the side frowned immediately after hearing Saenz's words.

If Lin Daoqiu finds out that he is Saenz's agent, I'm afraid he will be in big trouble this time.
