Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1560 I'm going to do it myself
After Wen Jun asked this question, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing next to him stretched their ears.

You must know that during this period of time, they can say that as long as they have time, they will get together to discuss how to write the script of "Tomb Raiders Notes".

After finally changing the script to the satisfaction of all three of them, it was brought to Lin Daoqiu for review.

The three people who were originally full of confidence had their hearts raised in their throats at this time, worried that they would be shot directly by Lin Daoqiu.

As for Lin Daoqiu, he is less than [-]% satisfied with the script in his hand, or even lower than [-]%.

The reason is very simple, that is, Wen Jun and the others have never figured out what the real core of "Tomb Raiders Notes" is.

In their script, the protagonist Wu Xie was changed into a guy who likes to pretend to be cool, has excellent skills, is smooth-tongued and is very good at picking up girls.

This is not at all like Wu Xie described in the original book, but rather like a character found in a Xiangjiang movie.

When the script was read, Lin Daoqiu found that the script they wrote was a character who experienced a series of drastic changes and then grew up. How is this different from the male protagonists in those kung fu comedies?
The bad thing is that the novel "Tomb Raiders Notes" was used as a blueprint for them. I didn't expect to be able to write such a script, which made Lin Daoqiu a little unhappy.

"Kung Fu comedies are no longer filmed, and you guys still want to make a comeback. If this show wasn't written as "Notes on Tomb Raiders", I would have thought it was a script for some Kung Fu comedy."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he threw the script on the table and shook his head at them.

Seeing this, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui immediately lowered their heads silently, because what Lin Daoqiu said were all facts, and they had nothing to refute.

If you want to blame it, you can only blame them for being in contact with kung fu comedy for too long, no matter how they write, they always want to rely on that side.

We must know that no one makes kung fu comedies anymore, and everyone is moving closer to modern action movies.

If "Tomb Raider Notes" was filmed according to their script, Lin Daoqiu would definitely not allow them to show it.

"I've worked hard for you during this time. Although this script has many shortcomings, you can still see your improvement on the whole, but...you are not suitable for directing "Tomb Raider Notes"."

Lin Daoqiu's words directly made Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing's hearts go cold.

After working hard for such a long period of time, they were trained like this after finally writing the script, which made the three of them a little bit embarrassed in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Mai Jia next to him couldn't hold back his laughter, since Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were rejected, then he had the hope of being able to compete for "Tomb Raider Notes".

"Brother Qiu, why don't you...let us try."

Wen Jun still refused to give up, after all they spent so long and put in so much effort, they would definitely not be reconciled if they didn't give it a try.

As usual, Lin Daoqiu's attitude was very firm, without any expression of hesitation.

He shook his head directly.

""Tomb Raider Notes" is different from other movies. I can't use it as a test product for you. If you want to make a movie, you can go back and write a script and shoot it yourself, but "Tomb Raiders Notes"... can't."

It is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to give "Tomb Raider Notes" to Wen Jun and the others as a test product to improve their ability to create scripts.

After all, the genre of tomb robbery can be said to be a more interesting genre of oriental themes. If it is done well, it may be popular for at least ten or twenty years.

Although the film market in Hong Kong is now popular to follow suit, as long as there is a big hit, many film companies will try their best to follow suit and produce a similar or almost identical film.

Moreover, their ability is not small, and they can also invite actors from the original version to act, which really makes people feel like they are fake.

But in this life, because Lin Daoqiu established the relationship with New Oriental, those guys who followed the New Oriental movies basically could not invite any New Oriental actors to film their movies.

Judging from Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's understanding of Lin Daoqiu, since he has already said this, it means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

If you continue to talk, it will only annoy Lin Daoqiu, which is definitely not something they want to see.

"In that case, let's go back first."

Wen Jun felt weak when he spoke, but this is understandable, after all, the script they worked so hard to create failed to get Lin Daoqiu's approval, which really discouraged their enthusiasm.

After Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui left, Mai Jia immediately spoke to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, now that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are out, then the drama "Tomb Raider Notes"..."

Maijia's idea is very simple, that is, since the other party is out, now he should be able to take over the creation of this play.

Lin Daoqiu looked at Maijia, then thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head and refused.

"I don't plan to hand over this film to others, I plan to do it myself."

Originally, Mai Jia wanted to ask Lin Daoqiu why he refused, but after hearing what the other party said, he had nothing to say.

Lin Daoqiu has personally acted, does Mai Jia think that he is more suitable than Lin Daoqiu to shoot "Tomb Raider Notes"?

If it was someone else, Maijia would still compete with the other party, but now he has completely given up.

But at this moment, Mai Jia thought about it again. Lin Daoqiu had never liked being a director. He only acted as a producer and screenwriter at most. In this way, unless Lin Daoqiu was willing to direct the play "Tomb Raiders Notes", he still had to find a director.

"Mr. Lin, are you going to direct this play yourself?"

Mai Jia asked carefully, if Lin Daoqiu answered yes, then his expectations for the drama "Tomb Raider Notes" would rise to another level.

But what Maijia didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his head.

Mai Jia's guess in his heart was indeed correct. Lin Daoqiu did not plan to be the director. As usual, he planned to be the producer and screenwriter of this drama.

As for the director of this play, Lin Daoqiu has already chosen it.

"I'm planning to find one of the people from New Art City to direct this play."

"One of the people in New Art City? Besides me, is there anyone more suitable than me to direct this movie?"

Mai Jia was really curious, he wanted to know which person Lin Daoqiu wanted to choose from Xinyi City to direct the play.
