Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1514 Sudden Awakening
The first experiment of nonsensical comedy was officially implemented in the play "The Neighbors in the Street".

Although in terms of the starring lineup, Dong Piao, Bao Qijing, Zhou Xingchi, Tony Leung, Zhang Weijian, Yuan Qiongdan, these people definitely do not seem to be a big-name lineup.

It can even be said that it looks a bit shabby. The four newcomers in it, Zhou Xingchi and Tony Leung, came from TVB.

However, Stephen Chow has been playing tricks when he was on TVB, and he has no reputation at all, so he can hardly make any contribution in attracting audiences.

As for Tony Leung, he is somewhat famous in TVB, but he was recruited by Lin Daoqiu to Dongshi before he could become a main actor, so don't expect him to attract any audience.

And Yuan Qiongdan, who was born in ATV, is not much different from them, so these four people can be said to be pure newcomers.

Not to mention Zhang Weijian, he is almost the same as Zhou Xingchi, and his acting time is still very short.

As for Dong Piao and Bao Qijing, they have acted in film and television dramas for many years, but they usually appear in the form of green leaves. It is indeed a bit too much for them to play the leading roles in a TV drama.

But fortunately, this is just an experimental TV series, so Lin Daoqiu didn't have much expectations in terms of ratings at first.

After Wen Jun and the others finished writing the script for ten episodes, they handed it over to Lin Daoqiu for review, and the filming started after the other party agreed.

"It seems that you have really worked hard during this time."

Lin Daoqiu said to Wen Jun and the others while looking at the script.

Judging from the script written by the three of them, there are some shadows of nonsensical comedy in it, which is definitely worth encouraging.

But encouragement is encouragement. If you look at it from a strict point of view, they are still far from the comedy effect that Lin Daoqiu wants to achieve.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu won't say it in front of them, after all, it will definitely dampen their enthusiasm.

"Let's shoot according to these ten episodes first to see the effect."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say whether it was good or not, he just gave them a little encouragement verbally.

Although the script is not very satisfactory, it still depends on the final shooting effect.

Sometimes the script is not so exciting, but relying on the extraordinary performance of the actors, good clips can still be shot, Lin Daoqiu has a deep understanding of this.

"As for Wu Mengda's role, you can cooperate more with Zhou Xingchi in the play, how to arrange for you to watch it yourself."

After Lin Daoqiu said these words, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui realized that Lin Daoqiu had arranged Wu Mengda in the play "The Neighborhood" to build a bridge for Zhou Xingchi.

How to say Wu Mengda can be regarded as a relatively good actor in the supporting role, Lin Daoqiu actually asked him to play for Zhou Xingchi, which shows how much Lin Daoqiu values ​​​​Zhou Xingchi.

Originally, at the beginning, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were more optimistic about Tony Leung, but now that Lin Daoqiu said this, they immediately put Liang Chaowei behind, and fixed their eyes on Zhou Xingchi.

"Brother Qiu, don't worry, we will carefully arrange this."

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to support someone in the Xiangjiang movie circle, then this person would definitely become a big star in the end.

Because there have been too many such examples, and Lin Daoqiu has never had an example of failure from before to now.

"Looks like Stephen Chow is going to be a popular fried chicken soon."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui looked at each other, and this idea popped up in their hearts almost at the same time.

It's just that they all thought that Stephen Chow wanted to shine in the TV circle, but what they never expected was that Stephen Chow really shined in the movie circle.

After all, Lin Daoqiu asked Zhou Xingchi to join Dongshi instead of New Oriental, so it is normal for Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to guess wrong.

After leaving New Oriental and returning to Dongshi, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Liu Zhenwei had just entered the office, and people called Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda over immediately.

"Xingzi, how are you doing recently? Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with studying at Dongshi? Feel free to tell me about any inconvenient things in life, and we will try to help you out."

Wen Jun is very smart, he wants to build a good relationship with Zhou Xingchi before he becomes popular.

"Brother Jun, I've been happy every day since I joined Dongshi. Everyone in the artist training class treats me very well, and I haven't encountered any difficulties in life."

Zhou Xingchi is telling the truth. Compared with TVB, he really has a very comfortable life here at Dongshi.

As soon as he came, he was assigned to play an important role in a TV series, and he usually recorded variety shows, and his salary was much higher than that of TVB. Zhou Xingchi really had nothing to complain about.

"That's good, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

Wen Jun suddenly cared about him, which made Zhou Xingchi feel a little baffled, because Wen Jun had never been so enthusiastic about him before.

On the other hand, Wu Mengda had somewhat guessed why there was such a change in Wen Jun's attitude.

It is estimated that after meeting Lin Daoqiu, he found that Lin Daoqiu paid special attention to Zhou Xingchi, so he had such a change in attitude.

Although Wu Mengda didn't know where Lin Daoqiu could see from Zhou Xingchi that he might have the potential to become a big star.

However, judging from Lin Daoqiu's vision and his previous brilliant record, even if Wu Mengda had doubts about this, he still felt that Lin Daoqiu would definitely not miss it this time.

After Wen Jun cared about Zhou Xingchi, he turned his attention to Wu Mengda.

Compared with Zhou Xingchi, Wen Jun is already aware of Wu Mengda's behavior of getting so close to Zhou Xingchi these days, and it seems that this must have been arranged by Lin Daoqiu.

"Brother Da, this time your character will interact more with Xingzi's character, so you'd better communicate with him more usually."

Without Wen Jun's reminder, Wu Mengda had already started doing this.

"That's great. I chatted with Ah Xing very speculatively. I believe that the next cooperation will be very pleasant and smooth."

Although Wu Mengda took the initiative to contact Zhou Xingchi because of Lin Daoqiu's confession, after a few days of contact, Wu Mengda felt that Zhou Xingchi was indeed a very thoughtful young man.

Just like what Lin Daoqiu said at the time, his shortcoming is that he has a lot of ideas, but he lacks experience and cannot put his ideas into practice.

Now with my own help, I believe that Stephen Chow's strengths will definitely be brought into play in this "Neighborhood", especially the nonsensical comedy that Lin Daoqiu mentioned.

And just when Wu Mengda was thinking of nonsensical comedies, he glanced at Zhou Xingchi, and suddenly something shocked him.

Could it be that Lin Daoqiu's nonsensical comedy was tailor-made for Zhou Xingchi?It would be incredible if that were the case.
