Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1907 Became Hardworking
"Hey... everything has to be re-shot. We spent so much effort before and wasted it. I'm really not reconciled."

On the other side, Lin Zhengying, Hong Jinbao, Yuen Biao and a group of martial artists from Hong's class actually ate at the same restaurant as Lin Daoqiu, but they were in another box.

They have also received the news that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will be re-shooted.

And when they received the news, most of the people looked a little listless.

"Actually, I think this may not be a bad thing."

Lin Zhengying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something like this, which made the people around him shake their heads.

"Uncle Nine, are you kidding me? We've already filmed one-third of the scenes and now we have to start all over again, not only wasting tens of millions, but also wasting the previous time..."

The more the martial artist talked, the more depressed he became: "Only Mr. Lin can do such a thing."

In Xiangjiang, there seems to be no one who is willing to spend hundreds of millions to make a movie except Lin Daoqiu.

And to be able to directly announce that it will be overthrown and restarted after one-third of the filming of a film that costs such a huge amount of money, it is estimated that no one else has such courage except Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin's requirements for movies have always been very high. We didn't make what he wanted. It can only be said that our skill is not enough."

Lin Zhengying was very open-minded. Lin Daoqiu spent so much money and time to prepare the material for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". The filming did not meet his requirements, so it was acceptable for him to overthrow the film and re-shoot it. .

It's a pity that everyone spent so much time and energy on this matter, I didn't expect that it was all rejected after less than half of it was done.

"Uncle Jiu is right. Everyone should be glad that we were able to film with this Mr. Lin. If it were someone else, it would be absolutely impossible to be willing to lose so much money to reshoot."

Yuen Biao respects Lin Daoqiu very much, and he has gotten to know Lin Daoqiu more and more over the years. In Yuen Biao's view, Lin Daoqiu is really a person who does not care about the price in order to make a good movie.

When Lin Zhengying and Yuen Biao both spoke, the martial artists at the scene naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

"Dong dong dong..."

When there was a knock on the door, everyone in the room thought it was the waiter who came to deliver the food.

But when the door opened, they were surprised to find that it was Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong who came in.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong..."

When everyone saw Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong, they immediately stood up from their chairs.

"Didn't bother you to eat?"

Lin Daoqiu also just learned that Lin Zhengying and the others were also eating here, so he came over to take a look.

Although he didn't hear what was being discussed in it just now, Lin Daoqiu felt that most of the topics they were going to talk about today must be related to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

"Mr. Lin, Ms. Zhong, please sit down, what a coincidence today."

Unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu would appear here, everyone was surprised and quickly gave up two positions.

"Originally, I planned to meet with you tomorrow to talk about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in detail, but it is better to meet by chance. Since we met here, let's talk about this movie briefly."

What Lin Daoqiu has to do is to let Lin Zhengying and Sammo Hung understand his thoughts.

However, it is really difficult for them to fully understand this kind of thing just by talking about it. After all, the shots, scenery, lines, positioning and even martial arts, etc., must be presented on the spot in the way Lin Daoqiu wants. .

"The reason why I overthrow all the previous filming is very simple, because the effect of your filming makes me feel very similar to the previous kung fu comedies."

"Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" is a tomb-robbing adventure novel, but in the hands of Lin Zhengying and Hong Jinbao, this movie seems to have a bit of a kung fu comedy.

There are even some funny plots added to the plot, and the length is not small.

It's not that Lin Daoqiu doesn't allow funny plots in this drama, but the problem is that in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, the selling point of this drama is not funny, and there is no need to make it the same as the previous kung fu comedies.

It can only be said that they haven't made much progress in the past few years, they just moved the kung fu comedy of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

It just so happens that the age is still the same, which makes it easy for them to fall into it.

"The era of kung fu comedy has passed. Although "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also set in that era, it does not mean that it will be filmed like that."

"My view on this movie is very simple. I want to regard it as a benchmark movie to improve the progress of Xiangjiang's action movies. No matter what aspect it is, it has a greater improvement than previous movies."

Lin Daoqiu said a lot, and Lin Zhengying and others listened to a lot, but it is obviously a bit difficult for them to understand what Lin Daoqiu asked for right away.

But this time Lin Daoqiu is ready, and it will take one to two months for them to understand and understand what kind of movie he wants to make.

"I know that no matter how much I say now, people don't quite understand, so starting tomorrow, I will be the producer of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and I will be in charge of the recent filming."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know how long it had been since he had directed the filming of a film, so he was willing to stand up and take over the film, which really surprised everyone.

"Everyone, please rest assured that Mr. Lin is not doubting your abilities, it's just that he didn't communicate well with you at the beginning, which may have caused these misunderstandings, but I believe that the next filming will definitely go very smoothly."

Zhong Chuhong also stood up and said something to comfort everyone. Based on the relationship between her and Lin Daoqiu, almost everyone present thought that Zhong Chuhong would most likely become the young mistress of the Lin family in the future.

She can say this in front of everyone, which makes everyone at the scene feel warm in their hearts.

"This time, Mr. Lin is willing to act in person. I believe everyone will be greatly encouraged. Please rest assured that Mr. Lin and Ms. Zhong, we will do our best to shoot the film "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to the best."

It calmed the emotions of Sammo Hung and others, and it must be a good thing for the next filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

And Lin Daoqiu has been "resting and recuperating" for so long, and he feels that he should also move, otherwise, if this continues, he may enter the stage of retirement early.

He also began to realize that over the past few years, few people have dared to give him advice. Although this feeling of doing whatever he wants is great, sometimes someone still comes out to remind him, lest he become too proud and complacent.
