Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1906 Those Nasty Gossips

"Is it so serious that you need to reshoot it all?"

When I had dinner with Zhong Chuhong at night, it was inevitable that I would talk about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

She only learned from Lin Daoqiu that "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" was going to be re-shooted.

"Well, after watching the samples, I don't think all of them are usable, so I have to reshoot all of them."

Lin Daoqiu's initial plan was to take a look at the progress of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". As long as there were no major problems, he would take Lin Qingxia abroad to film the sequel of "Tomb Raider".

Unexpectedly, after watching the sample film, I found that the filming of this film and what I wanted were not the same thing at all.

Instead of taking the time to change and change and not necessarily be able to change what you want, it is faster to just overthrow everything and start over.

Zhong Chuhong's scenes are all in the back, and only a few scenes were filmed in the front, so it has no effect on her.

But for Lin Zhengying and the others, Lin Daoqiu's move was tantamount to questioning or thinking that their abilities were not enough.

Zhong Chuhong worried that such words would affect the confidence of Lin Zhengying and the others, after all there were Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and others involved.

Lin Daoqiu rejected all the scenes they had filmed for so many years. This is really a very hurtful thing.

"Before when I was filming "Master Qian", "Ip Man" and "Mr. Zombie", I was on the sidelines directing and setting the tone. Maybe I didn't explain clearly what I wanted, but this time I will definitely change it. of."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu doubted Lin Zhengying's ability, it's just that this time, what he let them take control of was far from what he expected.

In the final analysis, it was because Lin Daoqiu wasn't considerate enough. He felt that Lin Zhengying and the others should know what he wanted, but it seemed that there was a big gap between his thinking and reality.

"Perhaps you are right, but I think you should communicate with Uncle Jiu and the others, so as not to affect their confidence because of this matter."

Zhong Chuhong is not worried about money or not, because Lin Daoqiu needs to worry about these.

She was just afraid that Lin Daoqiu's decision this time would hurt the confidence of Uncle Jiu and the others. After all, those people had been struggling in this industry for so long, and it would be hard not to be sad if they were suddenly rejected by Lin Daoqiu.

"I will have a good chat with them about this matter, but what happened this time also reminds me that there must be some innovations in the filming style of Xiangjiang."

Lin Daoqiu basically hasn't filmed a few films in recent years, most of them let them do it themselves.

In addition to providing scripts, Lin Daoqiu hardly goes to the set to direct. He probably disappears after a visit or two, and then leaves everything to the producer and director to do.

The advantage of this is that Lin Daoqiu can set aside a lot of personal time, but the disadvantage is that what they shoot is not necessarily what Lin Daoqiu wants.

But the good thing is that there were no problems with the movies they made before, or what they made was not much different from the movies Lin Daoqiu had seen in the previous life, so Lin Daoqiu was satisfied.

However, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is different from ordinary Xiangjiang movies. Lin Daoqiu has seen the remake of this novel, whether it is a movie or a TV series.

Compared with the film and television dramas in memory, it is obviously unlikely that what Lin Zhengying and the others produced could meet Lin Daoqiu's requirements, so it is not surprising that he would be dissatisfied.

"But to be honest, you've been a little too lazy these past few years. You just throw the script to them for shooting, and you basically don't go to the crew. I'm afraid you should change your attitude towards movies."

Others may not know much, but Zhong Chuhong, Lin Daoqiu's confidante, knows much more than others.

She knew what Lin Daoqiu was doing with the spare time, but she just pretended not to know anything.

But now Lin Daoqiu's actions have affected the quality of those movies, which made Zhong Chuhong have to speak up.

"You're right. My previous thoughts were indeed too simple. After writing the script and throwing it to them, I felt that everything would be fine. But starting from the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", I have to devote more time to the production of the movie."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have any excuses. He felt that what Zhong Chuhong said was right. If he didn't put his heart into his main business, how could he expect others to do it well.

"What are you going to do with the sequel to Tomb Raider? I heard that it's already in the planning stages."

What Zhong Chuhong cares about is not the drama "Tomb Raider", but some people in this drama.

Lin Daoqiu originally didn't intend to chat with Zhong Chuhong about "Tomb Raider" during the meal, after all, the heroine of this play is Brigitte Lin.

But now she suddenly asked Lin Daoqiu and couldn't avoid talking about it, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be very calm.

"Because of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern", the filming of this movie has to be delayed for a while."

"The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few months, you don't plan to spend the Spring Festival next year abroad, do you?"

What Zhong Chuhong cares about is not the progress of "Tomb Raider", but whether Lin Daoqiu plans to spend the Spring Festival next year with Brigitte Lin in a foreign country. If so, she will definitely be very unhappy.

"Part of "Tomb Raider" is filmed abroad, but most of the scenes will be filmed in the magic studio in Xiangjiang, so the shooting time abroad will not be too long."

Lin Daoqiu knew what Zhong Chuhong was worried about, so he thought of an answer that Zhong Chuhong could accept.

Sure enough, after Zhong Chuhong heard this answer, the slight unhappiness that had appeared on her face before disappeared without a trace.

"In this case, do you want to come to my house to pay New Year's greetings this year? My parents haven't seen you for a long time."

"That's for sure. During the Chinese New Year this year, I will definitely wash myself clean and bring a generous gift to my uncle and aunt. Don't worry about that."

Lin Daoqiu could see that Zhong Chuhong seemed to be worried about certain things.

Perhaps it was because of the recent newspaper reports on Brigitte Lin that Zhong Chuhong began to worry about whether she was ready to marry Brigitte Lin.

"Speaking of which, the gossip news outside has really become more and more excessive recently, and things that obviously didn't happen are being written there. I think the news media in Xiangjiang should also be rectified."

"What do you mean by the gossip news?"

Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Daoqiu and asked with a smile.

"Uh...that's the nasty gossip."

Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to say that it was gossip news related to Brigitte Lin, but even so, Zhong Chuhong understood the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words, and then gave him a hard look.
