Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1805 Superstar Cultivation Project
"What do you think of the actor Jet Li?"

Regarding Tsui Hark's idea of ​​bringing Jet Li to play Linghu Chong, Lin Daoqiu did not agree or disagree, but first asked Tsui Hark's opinion on Jet Li.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, Tsui Hark answered the question seriously.

"In my opinion, Jet Li has the qualifications to become a top martial arts star, not to mention his skills. After all, he has won several national martial arts championships. From the image point of view, he is also very handsome, with almost no shortcomings."

Tsui Hark's evaluation of Jet Li is still very high. In his opinion, if Jet Li can be cultivated into a top martial arts star, the way to choose actors will be wider in the future.

Otherwise, there are only three well-known martial arts stars in Xiangjiang, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. Apart from them, there is really no one who can take the lead.

Jackie Chan has basically stayed in Hollywood to film now, and it is almost impossible for Xiangjiang's movies to invite them.

As for Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, both are making their own films, so if Tsui Hark wants to cooperate with them, it's okay if it's a cameo, but Sammo Hung and the others may not be available for the starring role.

Since this is the case, it is better to find and train some people by yourself, or else when Tsui Hark wants to make some movies he wants to make, he really can't find suitable people.

"I didn't expect you to appreciate Jet Li so much. If that's the case, I'll shoot according to your ideas."

Lin Daoqiu had no dissatisfaction or objection to Tsui Hark's choice of Jet Li to play Linghu Chong.

Even in his opinion, in the film and television series of "Swordsman", Jet Li's Linghu Chong can definitely be ranked in the top three.

And the role in the previous life was originally Jet Li's. So far, Lin Daoqiu really can't think of anyone who is more suitable to play Linghu Chong than Jet Li.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, but this film has to be filmed later. I have "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The True Colors of Heroes" in my hand. I'm afraid it will take a while before we can start filming."

Lin Daoqiu is not in a hurry for the sequel of "Swordsman". Originally, this movie was also planned to be released next year, so Tsui Hark can shoot it whenever he wants.

But at this moment Lin Daoqiu suddenly thought of a question.

"Director Hu, have you communicated with him?"

Lin Daoqiu mentioned to Tsui Hark that he was asked to produce the sequel of "Swordsman", but he forgot to communicate with Hu Jinquan.

If Tsui Hark is embarrassed to talk to Hu Jinquan, then Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind helping him solve this trouble.

"Well... Director Hu called me a few days ago. He had a lot of opinions on the script I wrote. In the end, he decided not to participate in the filming of "Swordsman."

"Very opinionated? What do you mean?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't know about it yet, and he didn't know what dissatisfaction Hu Jinquan had with Tsui Hark's script.

"Director Hu doesn't seem to like the emotional scene I added between Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong."

Hearing what Tsui Hark said, Lin Daoqiu immediately understood that Hu Jinquan was angry because of his feelings, which he could understand.

After all, Dongfang Bubai was cast by a beautiful woman, and an emotional scene was added between Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong. This was something that did not exist in the original book, but was brought to the big screen by Tsui Hark.

It is no wonder that because of this, Tsui Hark wanted to buy a remake of Jin Yong's novel, but was rejected by Jin Yong.

At that time, Jin Yong said that we should still be friends, but we will not sell novels to you, and we will not cooperate.

It shows how dissatisfied he is with Tsui Hark's blind modification of his novel.

"Readers who are familiar with "Swordsman" may find it difficult to accept your revision. I am worried that Mr. Jin Yong may be angry with you after this movie is released."

Lin Daoqiu said this because he remembered that Jin Yong did not continue to cooperate with Tsui Hark in his last life because of this matter.

"I believe that after the film comes out, Mr. Jin Yong will definitely not be angry with me after watching the film."

Tsui Hark looked very confident, and Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything more.

After Tsui Hark left, Lin Daoqiu began to seriously think about what Tsui Hark said just now.

Tsui Hark invited Jet Li to cultivate a new top martial arts star for Xiangjiang's action market. Even he can think like this. Now that he has such great power, why doesn't he do more.

"Ah Sheng, do you think there are fewer top action stars in Xiangjiang?"

When Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him this question, Fang Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think seriously.

"In terms of men, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao can be regarded as the top action stars of Xiangjiang. In terms of women, Ms. Lin is naturally unique. The rest are Michelle Yeoh, Li Saifeng, Hui Yinghong, and Ms. Hu."

From Fang Jinsheng's point of view, there are only four or five people who can carry the box office in Xiangjiang, and the rest may not say no, but if they are allowed to take the lead, their performance at the box office may not be so good.

Lin Daoqiu nodded as he listened, this was something that even Fang Jinsheng could see, to train more top stars seemed to be a very important thing for Lin Daoqiu.

"It's a pity that Rong Shao doesn't like filming fight scenes, otherwise he can be counted as one."

Leslie Cheung is indeed a very good actor, but his fighting skills can only be said to be average, and it is too late to practice now.

Among the remaining people, Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao, Qian Jiale, He Jiajin, etc. are all good, but they are not worthy of the big responsibility.

"Forget it, let's do this for now, I have to think about it carefully, what should I do in the future."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. He didn't have an ideal candidate. If he blindly squandered resources to praise him, wouldn't it be a waste of his energy if he couldn't get up later.

Apart from Jet Li, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't find an action star who could rival Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung Yuen Biao.

Do I have to learn from the future generations and fail to make a kung fu draft?

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu shook his head again and again. In his previous life, he clearly despised such a draft, but now he would want to use such a method to select talents, which is simply too sad.

"Boss, if you have ideas about this, why don't I help you search for talents in this area, and after sorting it out, are you thinking about it slowly?"

Fang Jinsheng heard the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words. He probably wanted to cultivate a new generation of action stars, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

That's why Fang Jinsheng proposed himself, thinking that he would help Lin Daoqiu select some candidates, and then after Lin Daoqiu's selection, it might be easier.

"Well...then you go and try it out. I don't have high requirements. I'm good-looking and can fight. It's best to have some kung fu."

Lin Daoqiu felt that his requirements were not high. If he couldn't find anyone like this, then the action series of the Xiangjiang film industry might come to an end.
