Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1825 Provoking Controversy

After Chen Yulian agreed to take over Ren Yingying, "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" officially confirmed the main actors.

Jet Li, Brigitte Lin, Idy Chan, Vivian Chow, Yuan Jieying, the main actors are all assembled.

As for the other characters, Lin Daoqiu didn't bother, let Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong decide for themselves.

Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong originally thought that Lin Daoqiu was not going to attend the opening ceremony this time, but unexpectedly, the day before the opening ceremony, Lin Daoqiu suddenly called and told them that he would participate in the opening ceremony.

It is a good thing that Lin Daoqiu can come. When he appears in "Swordsman", he will naturally win more pages in the media.

Although Lin Qingxia is already in charge, if there are more topics that can attract readers and audiences, Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong will naturally not refuse.

The next day, the opening ceremony of "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" will kick off at New Oriental's Fushan Road studio.

However, the day before the opening ceremony, something happened that made the crew of "Swordsman" feel embarrassed.

"Absurd, it's absolutely ridiculous..."

According to the previous practice, the final draft of the script must be sent to Jin Yong for review. It is one thing whether he makes comments or not, but he still has to review it.

But this time, Tsui Hark delivered the script a bit late, and it was delayed until two days before the opening ceremony.

At first, Jin Yong didn't think too much about it. He thought it might be because Tsui Hark and the others changed the script too meticulously and seriously, so it took so long.

But when Jin Yong read the script that Tsui Hark sent over, his brows began to wrinkle slowly.

"Nonsense...it's just nonsense."

Jin Yong has not seen Tsui Hark's first film "Swordsman". At the end of this film, Tsui Hark has consciously arranged for Brigitte Brigitte to appear in women's clothing, but deliberately asked her to cover her face with a tulle Eye.

But even so, everyone has already recognized Lin Qingxia's identity from these familiar eyes, and they also know that in the second part Brigitte Lin should be Dongfang Bubai who has cultivated the Sunflower Book.

But Jin Yong didn't know this, and he still expected Tsui Hark's script to come up with something new.

But after he read it, there were a lot of new ideas, and all of them were beyond Jin Yong's expectation, which made him very angry.

"It's really outrageous. How could he make random changes like this? He dared to do it just because Lin Daoqiu supported him?"

When Ni Kuang at the side came to Jin Yong, he heard about this from the other party, and he immediately cursed in anger.

Originally, Jin Yong was a person who was not good at swearing, and he didn't like to communicate with others. When he was in Ming Pao, he often used notes to tell the people below to do things.

Several times he wanted to call Tsui Hark for an explanation, but every time he stopped at picking up the phone.

"No, I can't just leave it like this. I want to scold him in the newspaper and let Tsui Hark know how to write the word shame."

Ni Kuang's actions were completely out of anger for his friend. After all, Jin Yong was a very important friend to him. Since the other party's character was not suitable for doing such a thing, Ni Kuang decided to do it for him.

On the day of the opening ceremony, Ni Kuang not only wrote an article in Ming Pao newspaper to scold Tsui Hark, but he also gave an interview.

In the interview, Ni Kuang said bluntly: "Jin Yong's works are all his painstaking efforts. Some people rely on the support of someone behind them to take them and change them randomly. Even if the filming is good and the box office is high, I will not watch it."

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Tsui Hark.

Because the film adapted from Jin Yong's novel that will be launched in the near future is "Swordsman".

"Now you are famous."

In the office of Fu Shan Road, Lin Daoqiu called Tsui Hark over, and then showed him the Ming Pao that had just been released today.

Tsui Hark, who took the newspaper, looked carefully at the place Lin Daoqiu pointed to, shaking his head while reading.

"Well... It seems that this time I not only offended Mr. Jin Yong, but also offended Ni Kuang. I didn't expect him to have a lot of resentment towards me."

Although Tsui Hark said so, he simply read the newspaper and put it down.

For Tsui Hark, whether Jin Yong was angry or offended Ni Kuang was no big deal to him.

After all, he doesn't rely on Jin Yong and Ni Kuang for food. Even if he offends them by filming "Swordsman" this time, it will not have any impact on Tsui Hark's future film career.

He even felt that Ni Kuang's article in the newspaper was quite right. This time he was indeed taking advantage of power, but he was not deceiving.

With Lin Daoqiu backing him, Tsui Hark wouldn't worry about these problems at all.

"Do you need me to help you talk to Mr. Jin Yong... Well... I don't think he may welcome me."

When he was in Li's TV, Lin Daoqiu's second film was supposed to be "Swordsman", and for that play, he invited Liu Songren, who was in TVB at that time, back to Li's TV.

But it's a pity that after he sent the script to Jin Yong, the other party saw that he directly changed Dongfang Unbeaten to a woman to act, and immediately blacklisted Lin Daoqiu.

Over the years, Lin Daoqiu himself has never filmed even one of Jin Yong's works, but Dongshi often cooperates with Jin Yong and purchases the copyright of his novels to shoot.

The current Lin Daoqiu is no longer the same as before. If he goes to Jin Yong to have a chat with the other party, the not-so-deep rift between the two will definitely disappear.

But Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to talk to Jin Yong about this. He felt that since the other party blacklisted him at the beginning, it would be good for everyone to continue like this.

"Let's forget it. If Mr. Jin Yong gets angry at that time and throws the fire that he planned to slap on me on your head, then you really have suffered for others."

Xu Ke hoped that Jin Yong and Ni Kuang would make the incident as big as possible, so that he could take it on Lin Daoqiu's behalf. Anyway, the harder they scolded, the happier Xu Har was.

"I think you have to be prepared that you will not be able to buy works from Mr. Jin Yong from now on. After all, he values ​​his works very much and will never allow others to change them randomly."

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu's detached status in Xiangjiang today, it would be very difficult for Tsui Hark's film to be filmed according to this setting.

"Then I'm at a big loss. Well, if this is the case, then I have to make a good shot of this movie. Otherwise, it would be a pity if the script written at such a high price is not shot well."

Tsui Hark doesn't seem to take this seriously at all, it's fine if he can't make Jin Yong's works, he can still make other movies or even write his own.

After all, Tsui Hark is not a young director who has just debuted, not to mention that he has Lin Daoqiu behind him to support him.
