Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1572 "The Return of the Great Sage"

"Did something happen? Seeing your serious face, is there something wrong at home?"

Sammo Hung, the third junior brother, knows him very well. After all, the two grew up together, studied, and practiced martial arts. They can be said to be like brothers.

However, Yuanhua has been unable to play the leading role because of his appearance since he was in the film industry. From the beginning, he could only play tricks or act as a stand-in for other actors, and now he can play some supporting roles one after another.

It can only be said that things like personal encounters are sometimes really out of control, and even Sammo Hung can't do anything about it.

"Brother, actually..."

Yuan Hua didn't know how to speak. After all, the relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Sammo Hung was well known, not to mention that he knew more than others in Hong's class for so long.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't be a mother-in-law."

Sammo Hung pulled his face down, he is a straightforward person, he is straightforward in everything, and the most annoying thing is mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

After being yelled at by Sammo Hung, Yuan Hua quickly stood up straight.

He thought to himself that Hong Jinbao would know sooner or later anyway, even if he didn't say it now, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for him to know by then.

"It's actually like this. Just now, Mr. Lin approached me and asked me to film the opening scene of New Oriental's studio and let me be the leading actor. I...I agreed."

Having said that, Yuan Hua silently lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.

Sammo Hung never thought that Yuan Hua would say such words at first.

When he reacted, he didn't know what to say for a while.

But after Sammo Hung knew the news, he didn't have any objection or the idea of ​​telling Yuan Hua not to act.

The reason why Sammo Hung was shocked was because he couldn't figure out why Lin Daoqiu thought of finding Yuan Hua as the leading actor.

If you want to find Yuan Hua to be a villain, then Sammo Hung is more or less understandable.

But you must know that this is the opening of the New Oriental studio. If you want to find a protagonist, there are many people in New Oriental who can act. How could you think of looking for Yuan Hua?
"The New Oriental studio is looking for you to be the leading actor in the opening drama, Mr. Lin is really..."

Sammo Hung didn't know what to say. He originally wanted to congratulate Yuan Hua, but because he was too shocked, he didn't know what to say.

"That drama is quite special, there is no need to consider image issues, and I was hired because I do somersaults well, my skills are good, and my image fits the role, so it was decided."

Yuan Hua did not tell Sammo Hung the name of the play "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven". After all, before Lin Daoqiu made it public, it would be taboo for him to tell others about such things without authorization.

Even his relatives must not say it, even his big brother Sammo Hung.

Sammo Hung nodded as he listened. Based on his understanding of Lin Daoqiu, the other party would definitely not make a fool of himself when choosing a candidate, but would make this decision after certain consideration.

Since Lin Daoqiu chose Yuan Hua to play this role, he must be more in line with the characteristics of this role than others.

"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After graduating from school, you have worked so hard in the film and television industry for so many years, and you have always been able to play some supporting roles. Now you have such a good opportunity, you must grasp it."

If Sammo Hung hadn't been unable to make Yuan Hua popular, he wouldn't have allowed this junior to only play some supporting roles.

But what he can't do doesn't mean that others can't do it, and if that Mr. Lin makes a move, he will definitely make Yuan Hua famous.

Not to mention the opening of the New Oriental studio mentioned by Yuan Hua, this is a very special movie, even Sammo Hung wants to know what Lin Daoqiu is going to shoot.

But he would not embarrass Yuan Hua on this matter. After all, since the other party didn't say anything, it meant that Lin Daoqiu wouldn't let him speak out, so why should he embarrass Yuan Hua.

"Thank you, big brother, I... I will work hard."

Seeing that Sammo Hung didn't mean to blame him, Yuan Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if the senior brothers who grew up together in school were to get upset because of this kind of thing, it would definitely not be something Yuan Hua wanted to see.

…………

The news of the opening of the New Oriental studio has already spread in Xiangjiang's film and television circles.

And just before the opening, Lin Daoqiu specially contracted all the entertainment pages of Xiangjiang media, and the title at the beginning was "The Return of the Great Sage".

The name "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" was decided by Lin Daoqiu at the beginning, but after he thought about it carefully, it would be nothing new if he followed the original version.

So Lin Daoqiu planned to change the script a little bit, and changed the name of the movie to "The Return of the Great Sage".

There is only one representative figure of the term "great sage" in the Chinese world, and that is Monkey King, the Monkey King in "Journey to the West".

And when the news that Lin Daoqiu was going to shoot "Journey to the West" spread in Xiangjiang, "Journey to the West" also began to become the object of heated discussions.

But at the same time that this matter was being discussed outside, Lin Daoqiu had invited a large number of directors and screenwriters from New Oriental to the company to discuss the specific matters of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Producer, chief director, and screenwriter are Lin Daoqiu's titles in "The Return of the Great Sage", but it doesn't mean that he wants to cover everything.

For example, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to find other people to do it when he went to the mainland to shoot.

"Director Hu and Director Li have to work hard this time. The shooting of "The Return of the Great Sage" in the mainland and related work in the mainland will be handed over to the two of them."

Lin Daoqiu intends to assign Hu Jinquan and Li Hanxiang to take charge of the framing and filming in the Mainland, because the two have profound knowledge of Chinese culture and strong art skills, and they are both film masters.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that we can be used in the opening of the New Oriental studio, of course we are happy to help."

Hu Jinquan and Li Hanxiang were of course very happy that Lin Daoqiu thought of them on this matter. After all, "The Return of the Great Sage" is of great significance to the New Oriental studio, and they feel very honored to be able to participate in the production of this drama.

"Thank you both. As for the script, Wong Pak Ming, Man Jun, Cheng Dan Shui, Lau Chun Wai, Gao Zhisen, To Qifeng and Tang King Sang will be in charge of writing the script."

We all know that Lin Daoqiu's requirements for the script are almost to the point of harshness, so working as a screenwriter under him is really a hard job.

But this time everyone is very happy to take on this drudgery. After all, this kind of opportunity is rare. Of course, if you can meet them, you have to do your best. Anyway, they are also part of New Oriental, and they should serve the company.
