Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1530 Only rewriting the script?

Zhao Yazhi's reaction made Cheng Xiaodong feel very strange, the other party seemed to be very surprised by his invitation.

Different from Zhao Yazhi in his previous impression, she reacted a bit when she heard the invitation, is that so?
"Is there any problem, Miss Zhao?"

Cheng Xiaodong wondered if he said something wrong, which caused Zhao Yazhi to have such a big reaction.

"Oh...no...it's nothing, since Director Cheng wants to see me, of course it's okay, you can do it anytime."

Although Zhao Yazhi was full of doubts, she still accepted Cheng Gang's invitation.

Cheng Xiaodong thought that Zhao Yazhi would refuse, but fortunately the other party readily agreed, so he didn't continue to ask why Zhao Yazhi had such a big reaction just now.

After Cheng Xiaodong left, Zhao Yazhi suddenly frowned slightly.

Based on the relationship between her and Lin Daoqiu, if Lin Daoqiu wanted to ask her to send a movie, he could tell her directly, and there was no need to find someone else to pass on the message.

Since Lin Daoqiu didn't tell her about it, it should be Cheng Gang's own idea.

Although I don't know what kind of movie this is, but because of Cheng Xiaodong and Cheng Gang's face, Zhao Yazhi agreed to meet Cheng Gang.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yazhi came to the restaurant that Cheng Gang had made an appointment with, and Cheng Xiaodong was already waiting for Zhao Yazhi at the door.

"Miss Zhao, my father is waiting for you inside, please follow me."

Zhao Yazhi thanked her, and then followed Cheng Xiaodong into the dining room.

As soon as Zhao Yazhi entered the door, she saw Cheng Gang standing up from the chair.

"Hi, Ms. Zhao, I'm Cheng Gang, I'm really grateful for the trouble that you took the time to meet me after filming."

"Director Cheng, don't say that, it's too frustrating for me."

Zhao Yazhi is very humble, even though she is the most popular TV star in Xiangjiang now, she still maintains a very humble attitude in front of these seniors.

Cheng Gang smiled and invited Zhao Yazhi to sit down, while Cheng Xiaodong sat beside Cheng Gang.

After chatting briefly for a while, Cheng just explained the purpose of inviting Zhao Yazhi to meet today.

"Actually, it's like this. Last year, Commercial TV broadcast a story about "An Embroidered Shoe". I wonder if Ms. Zhao has heard of it?"

"An Embroidered Shoe" was very popular in Xiangjiang when it was broadcast. Many people talked about it on TVB at the time, and Zhao Yazhi occasionally heard it mentioned by others.

"Of course I've heard it, but I'm used to going to bed early at night, so I didn't have the opportunity to listen to the live broadcast, but I heard this story mentioned by many people when I was still on TV."

Cheng Gang smiled and nodded.

"Miss Zhao, speaking of it, the author of the novel "An Embroidered Shoe" is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin."

Zhao Yazhi did not expect that "An Embroidered Shoe" was written by Lin Daoqiu, which really exceeded her expectations.

"After Mr. Lin finished writing the story of "An Embroidered Shoe", he asked me to make this play into a movie. After several revisions, I finally finished writing the script. Now I just need to find all the actors to start filming."

After listening to what Cheng Gang said, Zhao Yazhi realized that this was the case.

But what she couldn't understand was that there were many actresses in the Xiangjiang film industry, why Cheng Gang chose to find her, and Zhao Yazhi was rarely good at acting in movies.

Basically, she mainly acts in TV dramas, not only now, but also in future generations.

"Thank you Director Cheng for giving me this opportunity, but I usually don't take on movies very much, I mainly act in TV dramas."

Although Zhao Yazhi didn't say no, she already understood the meaning of her words. If it's a TV series, it's fine, but if it's a movie, she's unlikely to follow.

Originally, Cheng Gang thought that after Zhao Yazhi heard that this movie was a novel written by Lin Daoqiu, Zhao Yazhi would be very happy to take this movie.

But what I didn't expect was that she refused her invitation without even thinking about it, which made Cheng Gang not want to say anything for a while.

"Miss Zhao, don't worry, with your acting skills, I believe you can handle well whether it's a TV series or a movie, and this is a novel written by Mr. Lin, so there will be absolutely no quality problems."

If it were another actress, after hearing that this novel was written by Lin Daoqiu, she would have agreed to take the role long ago.

But unlike them, Zhao Yazhi didn't have much interest in it, unless Lin Daoqiu asked her to act, then Zhao Yazhi might agree.

But if it was just what Cheng Gang meant, then Zhao Yazhi felt that it would be better for her to spend more time with her baby.

You must know that "Joking about Qianlong" took several months to film, and she went to Baodao for several months before, and Zhao Yazhi is obviously not willing to let her take time to make movies now.

"Thank you Director Cheng for your appreciation. It's just that I haven't made a movie for a long time. Now my focus is on TV dramas and babies, and I don't have time to take on other jobs. I'm really sorry."

Zhao Yazhi declined Cheng Gang's invitation in the end, which made Cheng Gang not know what to say for a while.

Finally, after Cheng Xiaodong sent Zhao Yazhi out, when he returned to the box, he found Cheng Gang sitting there without saying a word, looking very depressed.

"Dad, why don't I try to find a way to talk to Miss Zhao?"

Seeing Cheng Gang's depressed appearance, Cheng Xiaodong really wanted to help his father solve this problem.

But Cheng just shook his head at this, he could already see that Zhao Yazhi had no interest in taking on the next drama, if that was the case, it would be a waste of time no matter what.

Unless he can invite Lin Daoqiu to play the role, perhaps he can persuade Zhao Yazhi to take over the play.

But if this is the case, then Cheng Gang would rather choose to rewrite the script than ask Lin Daoqiu to come forward to persuade Zhao Yazhi.

"Is there really only one way to rewrite the script?"

Cheng Gang shook his head while thinking, but judging from the current situation, apart from rewriting the script, it seems that there is no other better way.

…………

"Cheng Gang asked you to talk about "An Embroidered Shoe" yesterday?"

It was noon the next day when he received Zhao Yazhi's call. Lin Daoqiu did not expect Cheng Gang to ask Zhao Yazhi to replace Brigitte Lin in this role.

If Zhao Yazhi hadn't taken the initiative to call Lin Daoqiu, he would not have known that Cheng Gang had talked to Zhao Yazhi about this drama.

"I rejected Director Cheng."

"Oh, since you're not interested, then just refuse."

Since Zhao Yazhi was not interested in this drama, she refused it if she refused, and Lin Daoqiu never thought that she must play this role.

But without Brigitte Lin and Zhao Yazhi, how would Cheng Gang choose?This made Lin Daoqiu very curious.
