Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1725 The Era of Martial Arts
"Mr. Lin, I don't have a complete picture of the sequel yet. I want to think about it after a while."

Tsui Hark obviously didn't tell the truth to Lin Daoqiu. In fact, he already had a rough idea of ​​how to shoot the sequel.

It's just that before that, he has to solve a problem first, that is, he wants absolute control over the sequel.

Not only the director has to listen to him, but also the editing has to be done by himself.

But if Hu Jinquan was there, these things would never even be thought about.

When filming "Swordsman" before, Tsui Hark had some disputes with Hu Jinquan, but because of Lin Daoqiu's pressure, they did not directly fall out.

Now "Swordsman" can be released smoothly without any major incidents, Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan should thank Lin Daoqiu.

"Is there really no, or do you have any concerns?"

Lin Daoqiu knew exactly what Tsui Hark was worried about, but he didn't intend to force Tsui Hark to continue to cooperate with King Hu in the second part.

"Mr. Lin, I..."

When Xu Hark was told by Lin Daoqiu, he became a little flustered. He thought that Lin Daoqiu had already seen his thoughts.

"Okay, I have a little understanding of the matter between you and Hu Jinquan. Since the cooperation between you is not very pleasant, you should make the sequel yourself."

Before Tsui Hark could express his troubles, Lin Daoqiu directly gave the solution.

Looking at Lin Daoqiu, Tsui Hark didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's the matter? Don't you think my decision is not good? It's okay if you still want the original photos."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Tsui Hark quickly shook his head.

"No, Mr. Lin misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Although I don't know how Lin Daoqiu saw it, but since he has said so, there is no need for him to continue to hide it.

For this cooperation, Tsui Hark was very happy at the beginning, and it was he who took the initiative to find Hu Jinquan to cooperate.

However, after working together, Tsui Hark found that Hu Jinquan has his own ideas about movies, which is the same as him.

When two people who have great ideas and want to control the whole movie come together to make a movie, there will definitely be a lot of friction in the middle of the production process.

Tsui Hark didn't want to come here again, he felt that this kind of thing once was enough.

"Since Mr. Lin said so, of course I support it unconditionally."

Tsui Hark didn't want to speak ill of Hu Jinquan, after all, he is not only a senior in the film industry, but also a talented film master.

Tsui Hark can't do such a thing like saying bad things about the other party behind his back just because he doesn't agree with each other.

"My idea is very simple. I will not favor you or others. My purpose is to make good movies to give back to the public, nothing more."

Lin Daoqiu is not favoring Tsui Hark, but if he is allowed to continue to cooperate with Hu Jinquan in the second film, I am afraid that the two will definitely break up during the filming process.

Since this is the case, it would be better for Tsui Hark to be in charge of the filming of the second part of "Swordsman" like in the previous life, which would be good for everyone.

As for Hu Jinquan's side, Lin Daoqiu will not put him aside and ignore him. When he has other movies to entrust to him to shoot, he will not be idle.

After Tsui Hark left, Brigitte Lin next to her shook her head helplessly.

"Actually, I met several times during filming. Director Xu and Director Hu were arguing. If this film hadn't been under your pressure, I guess the two of them would have fallen out long ago."

As one of the protagonists of the movie, Lin Qingxia will inevitably see or hear a lot of things in this regard when filming.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to talk about this with Tsui Hark today because Brigitte Lin had mentioned such things to him several times before, so Lin Daoqiu decided to let Tsui Hark take charge of the second filming.

"When two people with ideas and abilities come together to do one thing, disputes and frictions will inevitably arise. If they can cooperate, they will cooperate. If they can't, they will break up. There is no need to force them to continue."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want Hu Jinquan and Tsui Hark to fall out like they did in the previous life because of a movie. In the end, the two were incompatible. This is really not a good thing.

"By the way, if there is a sequel to "Swordsman", will there be a sequel to "Tomb Raider" this year?"

According to Tsui Hark's speed, the sequel of "Swordsman" will be launched within two months if it is fast, and it will be three to four months if it is slow.

But Lin Daoqiu once said before that this year he will shoot the sequel of "Tomb Raider". As the heroine of this film, Brigitte Lin is naturally the leading role.

If I just wanted to shoot "Tomb Raider", I definitely wouldn't stay in Xiangjiang. At that time, I couldn't take care of the filming of "Swordsman".

"The filming plan of "Tomb Raider" is estimated to not start until October, and it doesn't matter if you can finish filming "Swordsman" and join the crew."

With Tsui Hark's filming speed, Lin Daoqiu believes that five months is enough time for him to finish filming the sequel of "Swordsman".

No matter what happens, Brigitte Lin's scenes can be finished, that's absolutely no problem.

But for Brigitte Lin, she only shoots two movies a year, which is unimaginable for the popular Xiangjiang star at that time, but Lin Daoqiu arranged this for Brigitte Lin in this way.

Unless she wants to participate in a cameo in a movie, or participate in a certain drama performance, Lin Qingxia is basically unlikely to accept scripts from other companies.

On New Oriental's side, Lin Daoqiu is basically unlikely to arrange ordinary movies for Lin Qingxia to act in, so she can be said to be very free during this time.

"It doesn't matter to me, anyway, it's hard to be idle at home. If I have enough time, I want to travel."

After Brigitte Lin finished speaking, she looked at Lin Daoqiu smiling.

No need to guess, Lin Qingxia definitely hopes that Lin Daoqiu can accompany her to travel abroad.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu doesn't have much time to go out with her at all, unless there is a plan for filming, in that case he can go to the country where the filming is being done to have fun.

Otherwise, this year Lin Daoqiu will probably be going back and forth between Xiangjiang and Hollywood, even if he has time, he will have to spare some time to travel with Zhao Yazhi.

After all, among the few women around him, he never went out with Zhao Yazhi, which made Lin Daoqiu feel a little guilty towards her, so he had to make up for it as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid it won't work this year, but when the time comes to film "Tomb Raider", I can accompany you around."

Brigitte Lin actually didn't expect much about it at the beginning. Although she was not very satisfied when she heard Lin Daoqiu's arrangement, it is already very good that the other party can do this.

So Brigitte Lin nodded, but judging from her expression, her emotions were somewhat affected.

"After the premiere is over, tomorrow I'll take you on a tour of Treasure Island. After a few days, the two of you will return to Xiangjiang."

Lin Daoqiu whispered in Lin Qingxia's ear.

"You are not allowed to lie."

Brigitte Lin immediately turned from sadness to joy when she heard it. Even if she couldn't travel abroad, Lin Daoqiu was very happy to be able to accompany her around Baodao.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's answer, Lin Qingxia just smiled, and then turned her head to the other side.

It seemed that she didn't agree with Lin Daoqiu's last words, which made Lin Daoqiu touch his nose in embarrassment.
