Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 16

"Brother Ying is worried that he won't be able to shoot the scene well?"

There was probably only one reason why Lin Zhengying hesitated so much, otherwise Lin Daoqiu really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Lin Zhengying didn't hide his thoughts, he nodded and said, "I'm very grateful that Ah Qiu values ​​me so much, I'm really happy, but I haven't directed a movie yet, and I don't have any experience."

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't think so much at all. They think that as long as the trick is filmed, they will complete the task. As for whether the filming will be good or not, that's another matter.

"Brother Ying, don't worry. My martial arts film is your strong point. The script has been written very well. You just need to follow the script. And I will arrange for you an experienced assistant director to assist you."

Such an arrangement would be fine even for a rookie, not to mention that although Lin Zhengying has never directed a movie, he has been working on the set for so many years, so he still has an advantage over others.

And Lin Daoqiu has said so much, it would be a bit hypocritical for Lin Zhengying to refuse, unless he had no intention of taking this drama from the beginning.

"Since you say that, Ah Qiu, if I'm refusing, I really don't know what to do." Lin Zhengying stood up suddenly: "I promise to do my best to make this movie a good one, and if I miss a penny None."

"Thank you Brother Ying, I have great confidence in you." Lin Daoqiu also stood up, because there was no wine, the two had to drink tea instead of wine.

Leaving the Shaw Brothers studio, Guo Youhua looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression from time to time when she walked out of the door, and she remained like this until she got in the car.

"Are there flowers on my face?" Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned to Guo Youhua.

Guo Youhua was taken aback by Lin Daoqiu, she quickly turned her head aside: "No way, I just took a casual look."

"If you want to ask anything, just ask." For Guo Youhua, a curious baby, Lin Daoqiu felt that she was probably curious about Lin Zhengying.

Lin Daoqiu guessed it right, Guo Youhua couldn't understand why he was so kind to Lin Zhengying, not only invited him to be the director, but also arranged everything for him properly, but it seemed that the two of them had only met for the first time.

Guo Youhua asked the doubts in his heart, and Lin Daoqiu explained with a smile: "If you must ask me to give a reason, then I can only say that I am very optimistic about him. I wonder if this reason is enough?"

Obviously, this answer could not satisfy Guo Youhua, but Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to tell the truth, and she couldn't continue to ask, after all, the relationship between the two of them was not that close.

After sending Guo Youhua home, Lin Daoqiu asked her to read the script thoroughly before leaving. It was only a few days before the filming started. In addition to reading the script well, she also had to go to the set to learn martial arts routines. She will be very hard.

Fortunately, this is the first time that Guo Youhua has acted as the heroine of a martial arts movie. She looked very excited and showed a confident look, and also let Lin Daoqiu not worry about her.

The preparations for the film crew are almost ready, Lin Daoqiu has also decided on the candidates for the assistant director, and invited Zhu Rihong and Zeng Zhiwei, who are nicknamed Field Recorder Wang.

It can be said that in this "Master Qian", there are not many experienced from head to toe, but almost [-]% of them are newcomers.

During the opening ceremony, Lin Daoqiu only invited reporters from two tabloids, so it can be said that the promotional efforts were almost zero.

But judging from the 500 yuan red envelope, these two tabloids still gave Lin Daoqiu enough face. After all, they are soft on people and soft on others, and their headlines are very attractive.

What "Shaw Brothers' potential actress joins, and the Hong family class has another powerful "Master Qian"...

Then there is "a collection of the great works of the Hong family class, Shaw actresses and the top young students of the Hong family class to star in "Master Qian""

It sounds very powerful, but if you look carefully, the leading actors are not well-known, Guo Youhua is like this, and Yuen Biao is even more so. The most famous of them is the three characters of Hong Jiaban.

Before the filming of "Young Master Qian" had already spread in Golden Harvest Studios, most of the people were watching it badly.

Even with the name of the Hong family class, all the leading actors are newcomers who are not well-known. Almost everyone thinks that even if this movie is filmed, it will definitely hit the market, and even if it can be released, it will not sell much.

Rumors from outside quickly spread to the crew. As the leading actors, Yuen Biao and Guo Youhua were under a lot of pressure. After all, they are the protagonists of this drama. If the box office is good, they will have a bright future with continuous film appointments and rising salary.

But if they hit the street, then they may have to go back to be supporting roles or even continue to play tricks. Even Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are full of worries every day on the set.

But the most nervous person here is Lin Zhengying. This is his first time as a director, so the pressure can be imagined, not to mention that he is still a person who pursues perfection, so when filming, it is his hard work that is the biggest. of.

Besides the director, Lin Zhengying also had to take on the role of Guo Youhua's father, but fortunately, this role didn't have many roles, so it didn't affect Lin Zhengying too much.

But at the beginning, when everyone was worried about what kind of martial arts to help Guo Youhua design, Lin Daoqiu suddenly came up with a skirt skill on the set one day. Design according to this idea.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu's requirements are not that high. After all, Guo Youhua has too little time to practice, so when shooting Guo Youhua's fight scenes, he basically shoots her lower body. Here, the stand-in is directly used to complete the shooting.

Feilong asked Lin Daoqiu to meet during filming. He is an investor anyway, so it is normal to know the progress of filming.

"I heard that people on the set have been saying bad things about that show recently."

"People have been saying this since the machine was turned on." Lin Daoqiu didn't deny it, but it seemed that he didn't care about these rumors.

Feilong was a little unhappy, he frowned and said: "Why didn't you inform me earlier, if I had known earlier, I would have shut those guys up right away."

With Feilong's ability, although he can't deal with people in the upper class, if he is asked to deal with those sarcastic people on the set, it will not be a difficult task for him at all.

"Brother Feilong intends to intimidate them? Or is he going to beat them up?" Apart from these, Lin Daoqiu couldn't think of other ways for Feilong to solve the problem.

"Of course it's to punish them severely, and let them know what will happen if they talk nonsense." Fei Long raised his fist and waved it in front of Lin Daoqiu a few times while speaking.

But Lin Daoqiu shook his head with a wry smile: "If that's the case, I'm afraid this drama will be in trouble."

Feilong looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled face, he didn't understand why the other party said that.

"Beating them up can certainly temporarily solve the problem, but if someone finds out that this show has something to do with people in the Tao, it will probably affect many audiences who plan to enter the show, and the newspapers will criticize it wildly."

Feilong didn't need to worry, even if he was exposed at the time, he would only lose 20 at most, but for the crew, this would bring them a lot of trouble, and even affect them in the future.

It’s not a big problem that the crew’s funds have something to do with the road. At this time, there are many films in Xiangjiang that have this situation, but if you go to the set to beat people because of saying a few bad words, the impact will be extraordinary. .

He felt that what Lin Daoqiu said made sense, even though Feilong was very angry, he still gave up the idea of ​​finding out those people and beating them up.

"Could it be that you just leave it like this?" Fei Long felt that Lin Daoqiu was too timid.

Feilong thought that Lin Daoqiu had just arrived in Xiangjiang not long ago, so he didn't dare to fight with others casually, so it's no wonder he had such an idea of ​​calming things down.

"Actually, no matter how much they say, it won't affect anything. The movie still depends on the box office. What I have to do is to shoot the trick well. As for those people's gossip, let them say enough."

Feilong shook his head helplessly, but since Lin Daoqiu said so, he had no choice but to obey the other party's wishes.
