Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1813 Ask for advice, please ask for an accident

It's a pity that Yuan Heping and Danny didn't hear what Lin Daoqiu said later, otherwise they would never be so depressed that they would not say a word in the car.

Lin Daoqiu's pressure was so great that Yuan Heping didn't know what to do.

Although Lin Daoqiu did not explicitly say that Danny would not be cast in his movie, judging from Yuan Heping's understanding of Lin Daoqiu, Lin Daoqiu would probably get angry because of his disobedience this time.

"Master, you don't need to be so depressed. It doesn't mean anything if you can't make Mr. Lin's movie. I think I can still get up."

Danny is very confident in himself. He feels that even without Lin Daoqiu's cultivation, he can still succeed with his ability.

But for Danny Tsai's confident remarks, Yuan Heping doesn't seem to be so optimistic.

"It stands to reason that you also stayed in Xiangjiang for a few years before. You should be very aware of how much influence Mr. Lin has on the Hong Kong film industry, and the Mr. Lin back then is completely different from the current Mr. Lin."

The more Yuan Heping talked, the more speechless he became. With the foundation laid by his long-term cooperation with Lin Daoqiu, it should have allowed Danny to obtain more resources.

But now because of Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's affairs, I can't do what I imagined before.

Moreover, Yuan Heping is more worried about whether Lin Daoqiu will alienate him and Yuan Jiaban because of this incident, which is the most important thing.

Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Yuan Heping frowned deeper than before.

…………

Among the actors of "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" in the previous life, there are several entertainment circles who have not appeared yet, including Li Jiaxin who played Yue Lingshan.

The person who played Yue Lingshan in the first episode of "Swordsman" is Ye Tong. It stands to reason that she should also be cast in the sequel.

But this time, Tsui Hark suddenly wanted to play it with another person.

"Since Linghu Chong has been replaced by Jet Li this time, I think Yue Lingshan should also be replaced by someone else."

In Lin Daoqiu's office, Tsui Hark specially came to talk about "Swordsman" today.

Besides him, Cheng Xiaodong also came along.

But in fact, Tsui Hark suddenly came to Lin Daoqiu to talk about this today, entirely because he had heard some news from Yuan Heping before, and it was not very good news for them.

Although it wasn't enough to be restless, Tsui Hark hurriedly brought Cheng Xiaodong to test Lin Daoqiu's attitude towards them.

"You want to change Yue Lingshan?"

When he heard that Tsui Hark was going to replace Ye Tong and find someone else to play Yue Lingshan, although Lin Daoqiu seemed a little surprised, he was not surprised at all.

Because it was Li Jiaxin who played the role of Yue Lingshan in "Swordsman: The Undefeated East" in the previous life, but now Li Jiaxin doesn't know where it is, and Lin Daoqiu doesn't believe that Tsui Hark will suddenly have the insight to dig out Li Jiaxin who is still an amateur.

If Tsui Hark can really do it, then Lin Daoqiu still really admires him.

"That's right. I've already looked for a few characters, but I still can't make up my mind for a while, so I want to ask Mr. Lin to help me take a look."

For the role of Yue Lingshan, Tsui Hark personally brought Cheng Xiaodong over to ask Lin Daoqiu for advice. Those who didn't know thought how much he valued Lin Daoqiu's opinion.

But Lin Daoqiu is very clear that Tsui Hark is definitely not such a person. If he can choose a role by himself, then he will definitely not let others intervene, not even himself.

Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Daoqiu remained calm and nodded.

"In this case, I will help you as a staff officer."

Lin Daoqiu wanted to see, without Li Jiaxin, who would Tsui Hark replace Yue Lingshan with.

"Luo Meiwei, Chen Yulian, Yuan Jieying, Li Meifeng, Zhou Huimin..."

There are more than a dozen actresses in the long list, but the one who caught Lin Daoqiu's attention the most was Zhou Huimin.

The first female head of Xiangjiang is now working as a DJ on Xiangjiang Radio [-], co-hosting the music program "Youth Symphony" with singer Huang Kaiqin.

Lin Daoqiu was really surprised that Tsui Hark thought of asking Huimin Zhou to act.

But looking at the long list, Lin Daoqiu suddenly realized that it was very likely that Tsui Hark hadn't carefully selected this list, but that he made up a random list.

Lin Daoqiu, who couldn't understand why Tsui Hark did this, put it down after briefly reading the names on the list.

"Which person do you think is more suitable for the role of Yue Lingshan?"

Lin Daoqiu did not give his own opinion, but first asked Tsui Hark's thoughts.

"I think Luo Meiwei and Yuan Jieying are both good. Luo Meiwei is more beautiful in ancient costumes, and Yuan Jieying is more in line with the tomboy's setting. It goes without saying that Ms. Chen is the best at filming costume dramas."

It seems that Tsui Hark has locked the role of Yue Lingshan on Luo Meiwei, Yuan Jieying and Chen Yulian.

If you choose carefully, Yuan Jieying will be more suitable, but if you want to achieve better box office performance, then Chen Yulian should be a good choice.

"I think since the main character has been changed in the sequels, it's better to find a newcomer to play this role. I think Vivian Chow is pretty good, so she's the only one."

Lin Daoqiu didn't bother to explain anything, he directly cast Zhou Huimin to play Yue Lingshan.

If it's just an opinion, then Tsui Hark may still change it, but Lin Daoqiu's tone is to directly set the role of Yue Lingshan, so it is impossible for Tsui Hark to change it.

Originally, Tsui Hark came to Lin Daoqiu today just to test whether his attitude towards himself and Cheng Xiaodong had changed, but he never thought that Lin Daoqiu would actually give Yue Lingshan the role.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu chose Zhou Huimin who had never acted before, which made Tsui Hark not know what to say for a while.

"Ren Yingying can let Jiahui play, what do you think?"

"Um... ah?"

Tsui Hark's thoughts were still on Zhou Huimin's side, but Lin Daoqiu suddenly assigned the role of Ren Yingying again.

However, compared with Zhou Huimin, Tsui Hark didn't have any resistance if Ren Yingying asked Guan Zhilin to act.

"I think it's a good decision for Ms. Guan to play Ren Yingying. Old Xu, you're right."

Cheng Xiaodong quickly poked Tsui Hark who was still surprised, and the other party came back to his senses.

"Yeah, I also think it's definitely a very correct choice for Ms. Guan to play Ren Yingying, but..."

"If this is the case, then go back and prepare quickly. If you need any help from me, just ask."

Tsui Hark originally wanted to return Yue Lingshan's role, even if it was played by someone else, it would be better than Zhou Huimin.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't give him this opportunity at all, and directly ordered Xu Hark and Cheng Xiaodong to leave, and now Xu Hark's head suddenly became bigger.
