Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2 The key lies in literary play

"Brother Fei Long, we don't want to, please stop beating, we will die if we continue."

Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun repeatedly begged for mercy. They hid behind to observe the reaction at the scene. Although the film was not over yet, the two already knew that they were finished this time.

These two unlucky ghosts are currently working as screenwriters at Lai TV (the predecessor of Asia Television), Wen Jun has been in the industry for two years, and Zheng Danrui is just a rookie who is about to graduate from college.

Because the market of the movie is so good, the eager Feilong wants to invest in making a movie by himself, but he can't find a good screenwriter and director at all, so under the introduction of a friend, he finds two screenwriters who are currently working on the TV station. people.

If they join forces to write a movie in later generations, the box office will definitely not be too bad, even at this time their ability to write scripts will not be bad.

But what is strange is that such a thing actually happened. If he hadn't watched "Flying Dragon Fist" just now, Lin Daoqiu would probably feel very strange.

"Tell me not to fight? Do you know that I invested a full 20 in it. At the beginning, you said that this drama would definitely be popular. Is it popular now? I have now become the laughing stock of others, and my Feilong's face It's all lost."

The more Feilong talked, the more excited he became, his eyes widened with anger, as if he wanted to swallow Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui alive.

This guy is a very face-saving person. He originally thought that even if this movie doesn't make any money, as long as he can make himself a big star, his name will become more and more famous.

But when he heard the audience teasing him in the theater, Feilong immediately became furious. He felt that he was played by Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui.

Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun, who had already been beaten with bruises and swollen faces, really had no choice. They really wanted to make this movie well, but now they don't know what went wrong.

"Don't say I'm ruthless, I don't need you to pay back the money, I need each of you to have a hand, so that everyone can be evened." Feilong asked Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun to stand up, and pretended to take them away.

"Brother Fei Long, no, we know we are wrong, let us go, we will find a way to return the money to you." Hearing that Fei Long was about to cripple their hands, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui started yelling anxiously , but the other party simply ignored it.

Lin Daoqiu was taken aback when he heard it. If Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were really abolished by Feilong, would these two people become well-known screenwriters and directors in the future?This is likely to become an unknown.

In fact, as long as Lin Daoqiu stands silently on the side without saying a word, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, but he has watched many movies of these two people in his previous life. .

"Brother Feilong, please wait a moment." Lin Daoqiu thought for a while, but still walked forward bravely.

Fei Long, who was about to leave, suddenly heard someone call his name. He looked back and found that it was a young man who was a head taller than himself. In his memory, he really couldn't remember that he had seen this young man before.

"What's the matter with you?" Feilong looked at Lin Daoqiu and asked.

"The fact that this movie has become like this has nothing to do with them. Brother Fei Long should spare them."

Lin Daoqiu frowned as soon as Feilong finished speaking. He looked Lin Daoqiu up and down for a while, and then asked, "It has nothing to do with them? Then you mean that it has something to do with me."

As soon as Feilong finished speaking, the younger brother next to him immediately yelled at Lin Daoqiu, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very tense.

But Lin Daoqiu wasn't too scared. After all, he and Brother Feilong didn't have any deep hatred. The other party was just a young and Dangerous boy and not a killer. At most, he would just beat him up.

Feilong kept staring at Lin Daoqiu, and found that Lin Daoqiu looked very calm when his little brother yelled at him, and looked at him with a smile on his face, which seemed a little courageous.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head: "I didn't mean that, but I don't know if Brother Feilong wants to hear the truth or lies?"

Feilong glanced at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui next to him. In fact, until now he didn't know why the movie was not popular. Since Lin Daoqiu said he knew the reason, Feilong really wanted to know.

"Then tell me, if it really has nothing to do with them, I will spare them today." Halfway through his speech, Feilong suddenly pointed at Lin Daoqiu and said, "But if you dare to talk nonsense, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish .”

At this time, the theater had just closed, and there were still many people coming and going, and as the protagonist of bad movies, Feilong would be recognized from time to time, so he simply took Lin Daoqiu and the others to the alley around the corner of the theater.

Asking his subordinates to guard the surrounding roads so that Lin Daoqiu and the others had no chance to escape, Fei Long then signaled: "Now you can speak."

"I have something to ask Brother Fei Long, are you investing money in filming to make money or to become famous?" Lin Daoqiu first asked Fei Long this question.

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's question, Fei Long already had an answer in his heart: "Of course it is to make money and be famous."

Lin Daoqiu's answer was already expected by Feilong. He nodded first, and then suddenly pointed at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, who had bruised noses and swollen faces, and were trembling with fright: "Brother Feilong thinks that these two people really have such great abilities." , Can it help you make money and help you become famous?"

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, Fei Long, who had calmed down at this moment, didn't have to think about it at all. One of these two guys has just been in the industry for two years, and the other is just a newcomer. If they are really so good, why no one invites them?

I was really in a daze at the beginning, thinking that now that the movie market is so good, I can make money by just hiring two screenwriters and directors to make a movie, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

Judging from the expression on Feilong's face, Lin Daoqiu knew that he had listened to what he said.

"Even if it's my fault, but they are also the screenwriters of the TV station. Are they right if the film didn't go well?" Fei Long was a little dissatisfied. Is there nothing wrong with it?

Lin Daoqiu shook his head and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the whole play, it was played very well, but the biggest problem still lies with Brother Fei Long."

Originally, Feilong didn't think much of the first half of the sentence, but Lin Daoqiu directly blamed him for the second half, which made Feilong quite dissatisfied.

"You'd better speak clearly." If Lin Daoqiu hadn't made sense, Feilong would have started beating him now.

"Written drama, of course the most important thing in a kung fu movie is the martial arts scene. It is important to have a wonderful fight, but if you fight from the beginning to the end, the audience will feel bored. At this time, you need literary drama to overdo the plot." Lin Daoqiu looked at Feilong and smiled. : "Brother Fei Long's lines in the movie are pathetic. I'm afraid the screenwriter didn't do it on purpose. I guess it's because Brother Fei Long can't memorize his lines, right?"

If it wasn't for the first time seeing Lin Daoqiu today, Feilong would have thought that he was a member of the crew, otherwise how could he know so clearly.

Brother Fei Long, who has never been to school since he was a child, can't read a single big character except his own name. Asking him to recite his lines is more painful than cutting him several times, so Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had to do everything possible. Try to compress and reduce his lines as much as possible.

But doing so will become what you see in the movie now, the leading actor is almost dumb, and the supporting actor in the play talks a lot more than him, how can ordinary audiences bear it, let alone It is said that the lengthy martial arts scenes from the beginning to the end are enough to make the moviegoers tired.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui on the side heard what Lin Daoqiu said, and they were almost moved to tears, because the fact is just like what Lin Daoqiu said, Brother Feilong can't recite lines.
