Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1842 The one who came to provoke the general
Because Joey Wong is going abroad to film "Legend of Wesley", Wang Jing must finish filming her part in "God of Gamblers" before she goes abroad.

But fortunately, Lin Daoqiu wrote the script of "God of Gamblers" very completely, and Wang Jing has almost nothing to change.

Actor Lin Daoqiu has also helped him find it. Chow Yun-fat plays the gambling god Gao Jin, Andy Lau plays Chen Daozai, and Joey Wang plays Andy Lau's girlfriend Jane.

As for the God of Gamblers' girlfriend, Wang Jing cast Zhang Min, who is still an actor at Dongshi, to play the role.

However, Zhang Min's roles in "God of Gamblers" are not too many, and his appearance time is very little.

I don't know if it's because of this, Wang Jing asked Zhang Min to play the heroine Qimeng in "The Saint of Gamblers".

Compared with "God of Gamblers", the cast of "The God of Gamblers" can be said to be very inconspicuous.

Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Min, two newcomers, starred in the male and female protagonists. They can be said to have almost no popularity.

As for the supporting roles, they are more famous than them. Wu Mengda plays the third uncle of the leading actor, while Qin Pei plays Hong Ye, the Hong Kong gambling king. As for the treasure island gambling king, Liu Zhenwei is invited to play a cameo.

Speaking of the drama "The Saint of Gamblers", Qin Pei's popularity is undoubtedly the highest.

If the script of this drama was not written by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing and Liu Zhenwei were even worried that the box office of a film made with such a lineup might only be a few million at most when it is released.

But since Lin Daoqiu asked him to shoot, Wang Jing naturally didn't have too many contradictory thoughts, but he was not very optimistic about the follow-up box office of "The Gambler".

As for "God of Gamblers", Wang Jing has more expectations. After all, Chow Yun-fat, a popular young boy, is playing the leading role, and there is also a combination of Andy Lau and Joey Wang, which is much better than "The God of Gamblers".

Chow Yun-fat has been filming on the crew of "The True Colors of Heroes" recently, and he doesn't have many roles there, so it's not a problem for him to be the leading actor in "God of Gamblers".

Later, because Chow Yun-fat was getting better and better, Tsui Hark reduced the role of Leslie Cheung, and then added it all to Chow Yun-fat.

Then Tsui Hark, feeling guilty, after filming "The True Colors of Heroes", opened another "A Chinese Ghost Story" and asked Leslie Cheung to cooperate, which can be regarded as compensation for the other party.

But these are the conditions of the previous life, and the situation of this life is very different from the previous life.

First of all, Chow Yun-fat's situation is not as unlucky as in his previous life. Although he is not very popular now, he is also regarded as a very promising film niche.

And Ti Lung is not the actor who was dismissed by Shaw Brothers. His development in Dongshi and New Oriental is not bad.

As for Leslie Cheung, needless to say, compared to his previous life, his achievements in movies at this time are much higher.

In terms of director, Woo Yusen has been kicked to an unknown corner, only Tsui Hark is left to oversee the production of the film, and Lin Daoqiu also paired him with Yuan Kui to assist Tsui Hark in the filming.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu was still worried about Tsui Hark and the others, so he specially spared time to go to the crew of "The True Colors of a Hero" and planned to "point out" them.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Daoqiu only visited the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" yesterday, Tsui Hark did not expect Lin Daoqiu to come to the crew of "The True Colors of Heroes" today.

Tsui Hark turned his head and saw that Wang Zuxian was also here, and he mistakenly thought that Lin Daoqiu was visiting Wang Zuxian's class.

However, I already visited the class once yesterday, and Lin Daoqiu came again today. The importance he attaches to Wang Zuxian is really scary.

"I'm not here to visit the set, I'm here to see your filming situation. This "True Colors of Heroes" is a bit special, and I'm a little worried."

Lin Daoqiu is not saying that Tsui Hark cannot be trusted, but the original director of this film is John Woo, and his violent aesthetics is not something ordinary people can learn.

Even though Lin Daoqiu, Tsui Hark and Yuan Kui had already talked about it, he was worried that they didn't understand, and he couldn't be satisfied with the final filming effect.

If this is the case, then Lin Daoqiu can only go to the crew of "The True Colors of Heroes" for a period of time. Speaking of which, he hasn't filmed in person for a long time.

After hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Tsui Hark and others realized that he came here for this movie, not to visit someone's class.

Calling several leading actors to the front, Lin Daoqiu chatted with them briefly.

"In "The True Colors of Heroes", it can be said that everyone is a tragic character. Song Zihao played by Long Ge is righteous and Bo Yuntian, Xiao Ma played by Ah Fa is affectionate and righteous, and Song Zijie played by Rong Shao is full of justice, but..."

"If you put everyone's identity background and the characteristics of the characters together, it will become a confrontation."

Song Zihao and Xiao Ma are doing illegal business, while Song Zihao's younger brother is a young man full of justice and hopes to join the police force to fight violence and bring peace.

From the very beginning, the identities of these people were doomed not to be the same people in the future.

"The role of Song Zihao is very difficult to play, so I hired Brother Long. The role of Xiao Ma is even more difficult to play, because if the role is not good, it will become mediocre and easily overshadowed by Song Zihao. The same is true for Song Zijie."

What Lin Daoqiu was most worried about was that Ti Lung performed well, but Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung did not perform well, and in the end all the limelight fell on Song Zihao's head.

"Ah Fa, Young Master Rong, I don't know if it's the right choice to invite you to play against Brother Long, but since I have made such a decision, I hope you can try your best to shape your roles well."

Lin Daoqiu looked very worried, which undoubtedly aroused the competitiveness of Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung.

After all, for Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung, their dedication to acting is not lost to others at all.

Being said so by Lin Daoqiu in public, although it is not enough to look down on them, it still makes the two feel very unhappy.

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry, if I can't play the role of Xiao Ma well, I promise not to pay a penny for this movie."

"Coincidentally, I also happened to have this plan. I didn't expect Fazi to think the same way. What a coincidence."

Tsui Hark and Yuan Kui didn't say anything, but they could see that Lin Daoqiu was not targeting Chow Yun-fat and the others, he came here today to provoke the generals.

Speaking of it, Lin Daoqiu's move is quite good, because Tsui Hark didn't feel much when he first started filming "The True Colors of a Hero".

But as Lin Daoqiu paid more and more attention to it, Tsui Hark found that this drama was not as simple as he thought.

"It just so happens that there are a few shootout scenes today, so let's try it out."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he asked Chow Yun-fat and the others to prepare, while he called Fang Jinsheng over.
