Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1653 Are you going to change jobs?

Although Tsui Hark's initial approval of the appearance, it does not mean that Wang Zuxian can successfully become the actor of Nie Xiaoqian.

In order to make her more suitable for the role of Nie Xiaoqian, Tsui Hark suggested that Wang Zuxian go to the Peking Opera training class to practice for two weeks to learn the behavior of ancient girls.

After all, Wang Zuxian's previous style has always shown people with a youthful, beautiful and sunny image, and he has never acted in this kind of costume drama before.

If there is no training, when the time comes to act, the body movements will definitely look very strange.

Wang Zuxian did not reject this, and she happily accepted Tsui Hark's suggestion.

In fact, Wang Zuxian knew very well that Tsui Hark didn't want to ask her to play Nie Xiaoqian at the beginning. If it wasn't because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship, she felt that this drama might have missed her.

Now that the other party's approval has been preliminarily passed, if Tsui Hark truly believes that she is the most suitable actor for Nie Xiaoqian, he must work hard in this regard.

So Wang Zuxian had to go to the Peking Opera training class every day to do training before filming started.

Lin Daoqiu, who heard the news, didn't think there was anything wrong with Tsui Hark's suggestion. He also made such a suggestion because Wang Zuxian could play the role more brilliantly.

Even if Tsui Hark doesn't do this, Lin Daoqiu will let Wang Zuxian learn. After all, after "A Chinese Ghost Story" is finished, Wang Zuxian will inevitably have a bunch of such movies to act in in the future.

So it is natural for her to prepare in advance, not to mention that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be filmed in three parts. If the foundation is not laid early, it will only be more uncomfortable to act later.

For the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lin Daoqiu believes that with Tsui Hark's ability, he will definitely be able to do well, so naturally he will not have any worries about it.

…………

The Spring Festival is approaching, and "Rush Hour" and "Life of Dawn" are officially released in Xiangjiang.

Lin Daoqiu is very optimistic about the box office results of these two dramas in Asia. Although it is impossible to achieve the results in the United States, in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, the combined box office of these two dramas can reach at least 6000 million US dollars.

Pan Disheng, Sammo Hung and others were relieved that Lin Daoqiu did not put these two plays in the Spring Festival.

If "Rush Hour" and "Life of Dawn" were placed in the Spring Festival file, then they could only raise their hands and surrender, and they would never have any thoughts of resistance.

But Lin Daoqiu let them go, which made Pan Disheng and Sammo Hung wonder whether to be happy or sad.

Originally they thought that New Oriental's biggest weapon was Magic Studio. In terms of special effects movies, Dibao and Jiahe couldn't be Lin Daoqiu's opponents at all.

But even without special effects movies, it's not a problem for Lin Daoqiu to overwhelm them, it just depends on whether he wants to or not.

And just as the Spring Festival stalls approached, New Oriental suddenly ushered in a special guest.

As one of the most popular genres of Xiangjiang movies, comedy is the most popular besides kung fu and action movies.

And when it comes to comedy movies, I have to mention the sneer maker Xu Guanwen.

It was he who established Xiangjiang's comedy style, and it was under his leadership that he created a set of comedy films exclusive to Xiangjiang style.

However, in the past few years, Xu Guanwen's limelight has not been as good as before.

The mid-to-late 70s was the most glorious era for Xu Guanwen. As long as he produced a movie, it must be the box office champion of the year.

However, whether Xu Guanwen was in Dibao or returned to Golden Harvest in the past few years, he failed to regain his former glory.

Although he was still the signature of Golden Harvest at this time, compared with the previous results, he had already shrunk by more than half.

Seeing that his elder brother was always frowning, Xu Guanjie was also very worried about him, and kept persuading him to develop in New Oriental, but Xu Guanwen kept refusing.

Until the appearance of "Godzilla", Xu Guanwen's attitude seemed to have changed a lot. He didn't expect that someone in Xiangjiang could make such a movie.

If it was said that he left Shaw Brothers and switched to Golden Harvest because of his salary, there is only one reason why Xu Guanwen left Golden Harvest now, and that is to make better movies.

It’s just that he couldn’t take the initiative to tell Lin Daoqiu that I want to join New Oriental. After all, with his strong self-esteem, how could he say such things in front of others.

Therefore, as the younger brother, Xu Guanjie had to go to see Lin Daoqiu instead of Xu Guanwen, wanting to find out what Lin Daoqiu thought of Xu Guanwen, and whether he was willing to recruit him.

"Ah Sam is a rare visitor, why come to me when you have time?"

After Xu Guanjie finished filming "Swordsman", he started to prepare for the concert. It can be said that he has no free time.

But for the sake of his elder brother, he can still spare this time.

"Mr. Lin, I actually came to you today with the theme song of "Best Partner". I would like to ask for your opinion."

This "Best Partner" sequel was created by Maijia and the others themselves, and it never appeared in Lin Daoqiu's time.

So the theme song "Just Want to be Prestige" written by Xu Guanjie was naturally not available in Lin Daoqiu's time.

Xu Guanjie came to him specifically for a theme song, this is really a new thing.

The style of "Best Partner" has been fixed, even if there is no catchy theme song, it doesn't matter, and the previous music can be used without any problem.

But even with some doubts in his heart, Lin Daoqiu still listened to "Just Want to be Powerful" several times from beginning to end.

It's the same style as Xu Guanjie's previous songs, brisk and catchy, although it's not very special, but in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, there is no problem at all as the theme song of the sequel of "Best Partner".

"Xiangjiang God of Songs really lives up to its reputation. I am very satisfied with this song. I believe that "Best Partner" will definitely get a very good result."

"Mr. Lin is too award-winning. God of song is just a joke. There are many musicians who are better than me. I still need to learn more from them."

Xu Guanjie was very humble, but he didn't notice that when he spoke, he looked restless.

In fact, he has been thinking about how to turn the topic to his elder brother, so he chatted with Lin Daoqiu, looking absent-minded.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had also noticed Xu Guanjie's strangeness. He saw the other person's uneasy appearance, which made Lin Daoqiu suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.

Although he thought it was unlikely, Lin Daoqiu asked in a joking tone.

"Sam came to see me today, didn't he want to tell me that you want to change jobs?"
