Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 17 Lin Daoqiu's Gossip
The progress of "Master Qian" was very slow at the beginning. After all, we hadn't cooperated much, and we couldn't even shoot a few scenes in the first few days.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of those rumors, this group of young people seems to have been beaten up, even if there is no filming, they will discuss on the set how to shoot the next scene, or how to play the next scene. It looks good.

After they worked together for a period of time, the progress of filming was greatly accelerated. In just two weeks, [-]% of the filming of "Master Qian" has been filmed. Lin Daoqiu estimated that the filming would be finished in ten days.

As the producer of this film, Lin Daoqiu has been watching on the set since the filming started, but he basically doesn't give any opinions, and let Lin Zhengying and Yuen Biao discuss it with a group of people, only when there are problems with the script He can do things. If you want to say that the most idle person in the play "Master Qian", it must be Lin Daoqiu. Guo Youhua will talk about this matter almost every once in a while, and Lin Daoqiu can't help it refute the other party.

But the reason why he can be so idle is because Lin Daoqiu has arranged all the division of labor reasonably, and there is nothing for him to do.

Although Lin Daoqiu seems to be very free, in fact, he is secretly learning film shooting skills during this time.

For example, how to arrange the actors' positions, how to use the lighting, and even how to use the camera, he is still learning, and the purpose of his learning these is to prepare him for the future.

This day Lin Daoqiu came to the set early in the morning, because today is the day when "Master Qian" is expected to wrap up, and it is also the time when Sammo Hung is going to make a guest appearance. As the producer of this film, he has to come early.

As soon as the time came to 9 o'clock, Sammo Hung arrived as promised, followed by a large group of people, basically they were all core members of the Hong family class.

"Brother Qiu, this is my elder brother Sammo Hung." Yuen Biao, who was the leading actor, introduced to Lin Daoqiu.

"Hi Brother Hong, I have heard of your name a long time ago. It is my honor to meet you today." Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and greeted Hong Jinbao.

"Aqiu, you're welcome. He mentioned you many times in front of me before, saying that your script is very good. I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. You can rest assured that he will never let you down. "

Sammo Hung is obviously talking politely. The "Master Qian" written by Lin Daoqiu is nothing new to Sammo Hung. He has made many films of this type before.

"Brother Hong is right, and I am also very optimistic about A Biao, so I invited him to be the leading actor first. Brother Hong can't be jealous of me." Lin Daoqiu joked with a smile.

In fact, after meeting Lin Daoqiu that day, Yuen Biao went to ask Sammo Hung for his opinion at night. If Sammo Hung hadn't nodded in agreement, he would never have accepted the starring role.

Because Sammo Hung's time is very tight, he didn't talk too much with Lin Daoqiu, and went directly to the dressing room to make up and change clothes. Today his role is very important, and it is estimated that it will take a whole day to shoot.

It was because of Yuen Biao's face that Sammo Hung was willing to take a day out of his busy schedule to make a cameo appearance. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to invite Lin Daoqiu to appear because of Lin Daoqiu's face.

In this movie, Sammo Hung played the role of a world-class expert. He and Yuen Biao had a long rivalry scene, and at the end they worked together to kill the big devil played by Zhong Fa.

Today, Lin Daoqiu was still the same as usual, moved a chair and sat next to the camera, and then watched the scene shooting.

I have to say that Sammo Hung's skills are really sensitive. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there is such a flexible fat man in the world.

For the martial arts routines designed by Lin Zhengying and the others, Sammo Hung only needs to preview once to be able to perform them perfectly. This makes Lin Daoqiu feel that there is such a thing as talent in this world. If combined with experience, it will be even more invincible up.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu invited Sammo Hung to come as a cameo just because of his face, but when he took a look at the scene, he realized that for some reason, the dominance of the filming suddenly changed to Sammo Hung. Lin Zhengying and Zeng Zhiwei could only I assisted by the side, but it was precisely because of this that the progress of the shooting was even faster than before.

There were a lot of things that needed to be discussed before, but Sammo Hung directly made up his mind, and the effect was much better than Lin Zhengying's discussion and discussion.

"If Sammo Hung directs this movie, the box office will definitely go up to a higher level." Lin Daoqiu thought to himself.

However, his idea is basically impossible to realize, because Sammo Hung spends all his time making his own movies, and will not take on outside movies unless the other party offers a sky-high price.

One day passed quickly, and when Zhong Fa was defeated by the scarred Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, the drama was officially announced to be finished.

"Aqiu, your movie is not bad, I think it should have a good box office." After taking off his makeup, Sammo Hung came out and chatted with Lin Daoqiu for a while.

"Thank you Brother Hong for your good words. I also hope to get a better box office. Then I can make a sequel." Lin Daoqiu replied with a smile.

Yuen Biao next to him was refreshed after hearing this. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Sammo Hung's eyes.

"I still have something to do. If you get a good box office by then, remember to send me an invitation for the celebration banquet. I will definitely join you." Sammo Hung called Yuen Biao over and said a few words before taking Hong The family members left.

Up to now, 20 yuan has been spent, but because Guo Youhua and Lin Zhengying have no relationship with the filmmakers, Lin Daoqiu still has 3 yuan left after deducting the rented studio and crew salaries.

Guo Youhua was determined not to accept it because Shaw Brothers had already paid her the film salary in advance.

As for Lin Zhengying, because he said before, he will have to wait for the box office results after the release to decide whether to get the salary.

"In the evening, I will invite everyone to eat seafood, and everyone will have a share." Since he still has spare money, Lin Daoqiu will not be stingy.

When the staff present heard that there was seafood to eat at night, they all shouted excitedly.

"I have to go back and take a shower and change my clothes." Guo Youhua was covered in sweat after filming for a whole day. If she was asked to attend the finale like this, she would never agree.

Lin Daoqiu nodded and said, "I'll take you back."

Before leaving, Lin Daoqiu told Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun to find a better seafood restaurant, and gave them 5000 yuan first, before he left with Guo Youhua.

Looking at the backs of Lin Daoqiu and Guo Youhua leaving, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun next to him whispered: "I think Brother Qiu has an unusual relationship with Miss Guo."

"Who said it wasn't? When I was filming, I found that Ms. Guo seemed to be very nice to Brother Qiu." Zeng Zhiwei suddenly jumped out of nowhere, and also participated in this gossip.

"Brother Qiu and Ms. Guo are both talented men and women, and they are a match made in heaven." Zhong Fa suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone seems to have reached a consensus, that is, the relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Guo Youhua will be settled sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know that on the set at this time, those guys were gossiping about him and Guo Youhua.

After working for a whole month, Lin Daoqiu suddenly felt a sense of emptiness after the filming of the film, as if something was missing in his heart.

"You'll be fine. You can rest after filming this film, but I have to join the filming team in a few days." After getting along for a month, Guo Youhua and Lin Daoqiu have become very familiar with each other, not as good as before strangeness.

"I suddenly remembered something." Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Youhua, with a worried expression on his face.

Guo Youhua thought something happened, so she hurriedly asked: "What happened? Did you forget something?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head, and then he suddenly smiled and said, "I'm worried that after this movie is released, because of the good box office, you will soon become a new star favored by Shaw Brothers."

Guo Youhua thought that something happened, and she was very happy to hear Lin Daoqiu say that, but she still pouted arrogantly and said, "I don't believe your nonsense."
