Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1824 The sense of existence is not strong

If possible, Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong really don't want to appear in front of Lin Daoqiu in the near future.

But there was no way, after Guan Zhilin resigned, the role had to be re-selected, Lin Daoqiu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he called them over.

Tsui Hark's idea before was very simple, Brigitte Lin would play the Invincible East, so for the role of Ren Yingying, an actress of similar level must be found.

After Lin Daoqiu chose Rosamund Kwan for him, Tsui Hark's first reaction was to be happy, because the combination of Lin Qingxia and Rosamund Kwan would definitely add a lot to the sequel of "Swordsman".

But now that Rosamund Kwan is resigning, it is really a very distressing thing to find someone to take over the role of Yingying, and it can't be worse than Rosamund Kwan. No wonder Lin Daoqiu called them over to discuss.

In my heart, I silently counted the actresses who are at the same level as Rosamund Kwan.

Zhong Chuhong will definitely not be able to come. After all, Lin Daoqiu will not accept the role if she doesn't ask her, let alone Lin Qingxia.

If Joey Wong is chosen, Tsui Hark's opinion tends to be against it, because Joey Wong's costumes are really good, but her acting as Ren Yingying is not good enough, and she is not well-known now.

And Luo Meiwei and Chen Yulian may be a good choice in terms of appearance, but in the end it is up to Lin Daoqiu to make up his mind.

"I think I can ask Ms. Chen Yulian to try it out."

Anyway, Tsui Hark couldn't think of any better candidate for a while, so he simply moved Chen Yulian out.

Cheng Xiaodong naturally wouldn't object to Tsui Hark's proposal, and he couldn't think of a better candidate than this.

Unexpectedly, Tsui Hark would think of letting Idy Chen play Ren Yingying, but judging from her appearance and popularity, Idy Chen may not be worse than Rosamund Kwan.

Apart from Chen Yulian's words, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't think of anyone more suitable than her.

"Just put Chen Yulian as a candidate."

Lin Daoqiu didn't directly decide on Chen Yulian like before. He wondered if there were other considerations.

After all, let Chen Yulian play Ren Yingying, and Lin Daoqiu didn't know what the final effect would be.

Lin Daoqiu did not agree, and Tsui Hark was not surprised. After all, the role of Ren Yingying is the second female lead in this play, and it is also very difficult to play.

Although at this time, Tsui Hark and the others believed that Dongfang Bubai played by Lin Qingxia should have a very brilliant performance.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that this role would become the most classic role of Lin Qingxia since she was in the film industry.

But Lin Daoqiu knew this, so he didn't want Chen Yulian to take over Yingying, because if she didn't perform well, she would easily be completely overshadowed by Brigitte Lin.

Of course, it is very difficult to find an actor who can compete with Brigitte Lin who plays the invincible Dongfang, and in "Swordsman", it is almost impossible.

…………

"Ren Yingying? Didn't you choose Jiahui to play this role before? Could it be that she won't play it anymore?"

Lin Daoqiu invited Chen Yulian out to talk about "Swordsman".

But when Chen Yulian heard that Lin Daoqiu wanted her to play Ren Yingying, she felt very surprised, because she had heard that this role had already been decided to be played by Guan Zhilin.

"Well, she has been a little uncomfortable recently, so she resigned from me because she didn't want to act in ancient costumes."

Lin Daoqiu made an excuse casually, but Guan Zhilin was really uncomfortable, and she resigned because she felt uncomfortable.

Chen Yulian didn't know that Lin Daoqiu wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't think too much about it, after all, changing roles is a common thing in the entertainment industry.

Sometimes the roles that were set at the beginning turned into other people in the final performance, and it is not surprising that sometimes the leading roles and supporting roles are sometimes reversed.

"Do you think I'm suitable to play Ren Yingying?"

Chen Yulian has naturally read the novel "Swordsman", and knows the general plot and main actors.

However, Tsui Hark's "Swordsman" has been changed a bit beyond recognition, and the novel I've read with Chen Yulian is not the same story at all.

So she has no way to correspond to Tsui Hark's movie according to Ren Yingying's original description in "Swordsman".

What Idy Chan didn't know was that in the sequel to "Swordsman", Tsui Hark made a lot of changes to the play.

Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong had almost no emotional scenes, and he put all his emotions on Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong.

It's no wonder that Jin Yong would be furious if he shot this way, but it was indeed a very bold attempt, and the final effect was also very good.

"To be honest, it's really hard to play Ren Yingying in this drama, and she will be easily overwhelmed by Dongfang Bubai. The actors have almost no sense of presence, and it will be even worse if they are newcomers."

If it were a rookie actor to play Ren Yingying in this play, then the audience might not even remember that there is such a character in this play.

So for Lin Daoqiu, it was indeed a very suitable choice to find Guan Zhilin to act in the first place, but unfortunately she resigned.

"No wonder you will come to me. Feelings are going to let me take the blame."

Although Chen Yulian said so, she actually heard from Lin Daoqiu's words just now that this role is easily marginalized, and it will be even worse if an inexperienced actress plays it.

"How dare I think like this, you have acting skills and you are a beautiful woman, besides you who can take on this role, I really can't think of anyone else who has this ability."

Lin Daoqiu's words were obviously flattering to Chen Yulian, and it seemed that the other party's flattery to Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to work.

But after listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly raised.

"Whoever believes your nonsense, doesn't know how many girls you have deceived with these words. You'd better save it."

If Chen Yulian said these words with a blank face, the credibility would still be very high.

But it was a pity that the smile on the corner of her mouth had already betrayed her when she was talking. Lin Daoqiu had already seen that Chen Yulian actually liked to hear him praise her.

"Even if you don't want to help me, then this drama is probably really difficult."

Lin Daoqiu said while shaking his head, looking very helpless.

"Who said I won't answer, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Yulian just rolled her eyes at Lin Daoqiu. Although she has been burying Lin Daoqiu, she never thought of rejecting the role of Ren Yingying.

"This role is indeed as challenging as you said, and I think I can give it a try."

Chen Yulian did not promise Lin Daoqiu that she would be able to act well, but judging from her willingness to take this role, she seemed to be planning to challenge this role that others would not dare to take.
