Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1849 Super star lineup
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is currently being sold in "Oriental Daily", has attracted the attention and heated discussions of many people during this period of time.

New chapters released every day will be eagerly read by everyone.

There are even dedicated people to collect the "Oriental Daily" published every day, and then cut out and collect the chapters published in "Ghost Blowing Lantern" separately.

Because they felt that this was the first time that the novel "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" had been published, and it had a high collection value.

If you collect and integrate these things now, I believe that you may be able to sell them for a good price in the future.

It's just that there are not many people who do this. After all, it can be said that there are only a small number of people with vision and action.

After reading it, most people would wrap their things, or throw them in the corner, or treat these newspapers as ordinary newspapers.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't know about the outside world. He is currently planning the shooting plan of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

If you want to ask who can mobilize the most resources in the Xiangjiang film circle at this time, then this person must be Lin Daoqiu.

The cast list of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" this time, just judging from the lineup of leading and supporting roles, the lineup is already very solid.

As Xiangjiang's well-deserved top martial arts stars, there is no doubt about the strength and popularity of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

Although the heroine Li Saifeng is not as famous as she was in her heyday, she can be regarded as one of the representative figures of Xiangjiang female stars.

As for the supporting roles of Mai Jia and Zhong Chuhong, it is not easy. You must know that the two of them are usually leading characters.

This time the supporting role was all because of Lin Daoqiu's speech, otherwise it might not be possible to invite them to come as a cameo.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, Lin Zhengying, who is the director, will also play a role in this play, and Zhong Fa will play the big villain as before.

If you look at it this way alone, the cast of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has already left other movies by a large margin.

But Lin Daoqiu was not satisfied with this, he felt that the cast of this drama could be improved a bit.

Because Lin Daoqiu's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been changed a bit outrageously, and the plot is also very different from the original "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the previous life.

According to the original novel, it is difficult to see that there are too many connections.

After all, Lin Daoqiu was only in charge of writing the outline, and the novels were written by a few writers he found, so it is absolutely impossible to have any similarities with the previous life in terms of plot.

It can even be said that even if the name of this drama is changed, it doesn't matter at all. Lin Daoqiu just likes the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so he just took the name and used it.

After the efforts of Huang Bingyao, Huang Ying and Zheng Danrui, the first version of the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was officially released, and of course they were sent to Lin Daoqiu immediately.

In this version of the script, there are more than [-] characters, and there are as many as [-] characters with names and surnames.

If it wasn't because there is no internet now, Lin Daoqiu really wanted to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into an online drama, because if this drama is made into a movie, even if it is divided into two episodes, there will be too much material.

After all, the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be regarded as a novel, and it is too difficult to finish this story in a [-]-minute movie.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this version of the script, and what areas need to be revised?"

The three of Huang Ying had been waiting for Lin Daoqiu to finish reading the script. It was not until the other party closed and put down the script that Huang Ying took the initiative to ask.

They didn't expect the first version of the script to pass Lin Daoqiu's approval, after all, it was absolutely impossible.

You must know that Lin Daoqiu has always been known for his almost harsh attitude towards scripts, not to mention that he is also a very good top-level screenwriter, so this time Huang Ying and the three actually did not expect to be able to do it all at once.

"There are not many big problems, but there are many small problems. Just in terms of the role distribution of the characters, you have already compressed a lot."

Lin Daoqiu didn't blame Huang Ying and the others. After all, they had tried their best to subtract. If they followed the novel completely, they would have to shoot at least four or five films to fully present the plot and characters in the novel.

So Huang Ying and the others can only find a way to remove some less important roles and scenes, leaving the core of the story and important characters.

"Well, if the whole novel is divided into two parts, the plot will be too crowded, so I decided that in this version, we will shoot the Xiangxi ghost king first, and the ending will lead to the next story of the ghost concubine."

Lin Daoqiu's modification directly crossed out more than [-]% of the plot, which naturally made Huang Ying's adaptation much easier.

"If this is the case, then we will have a lot easier to write."

After Huang Ying and the others heard what Lin Daoqiu said, they immediately beamed with joy.

We must know that during this period of time, in order to delete and retain the plot and characters, they are under a lot of pressure almost every day.

As the novel of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is more and more recognized by the public, many book fans will naturally have high expectations when the movie version is released.

If they didn't write the script well, the movie would not be well shot when it was released. They felt that not only Lin Daoqiu would have trouble getting through, but also those book fans and movie fans would not let them go.

"Give you a week to finish writing this version of the script, and I can start the machine as soon as possible."

After Lin Daoqiu made this decision, he felt much more relaxed.

Huang Ying and Huang Bingyao naturally got up happily and went back to continue discussing how to modify the plot, but Zheng Danrui sat still.

After Huang Ying and Huang Bingyao left, Lin Daoqiu opened his mouth.

"For Wen Jun's matter?"

Lin Daoqiu saw Zheng Danrui's tangled expression and knew that he must come to plead for Wen Jun again.

"Ah Jun came to me last night, crying and kneeling to ask me to plead with you for him, I..."

When Zheng Danrui came home last night, he found Wen Jun standing at the door waiting for him.

Originally, Zheng Danrui planned to stick to Lin Daoqiu's order and not contact Wen Jun within half a year.

But during this period of time, I don't know who was spreading rumors outside, saying that Wen Jun and Lin Daoqiu had a falling out and were kicked out of New Oriental.

And those who know the inside story are unwilling to comment on this matter, which makes these rumors spread more and more.

Those people who were still around Wen Jun and flattered him before all slipped away in a blink of an eye, and others treated him as a transparent person.

The current Wen Jun can be said to be very downcast. In the movie circle, he belongs to the kind of person that no one wants to talk to. It is basically the same as being banned by Lin Daoqiu.

In order to change his predicament, Wen Jun could only ask his good brother Zheng Danrui for help, hoping that he would allow Lin Daoqiu to meet him.
