Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2086 Let the actors diversify

I believe that not only the reporters at the scene would think this way, but if they asked a passer-by on the road, the role arrangement of "The True Colors of a Man" made them feel unbelievable.

"Director Chen, why did you think of asking Brother Hong and the three of them to play the villain? What do you think?"

"Brother Hong, as far as I know, you haven't played a villain in any of the movies you've made over the years. Why did you agree to Director Chen's invitation to play the role of the villain this time? What's the reason?"

Everyone wants to know how Chen Jiashang tricked Sammo Hung and the others into playing the villains. This is something everyone really wants to understand.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Chen Jiashang is still just an unknown director.

Not to mention being able to invite three top kung fu stars, it is impossible to even invite one of them.

So inviting these three people to play the villain must have nothing to do with him.

"Actually, Brother Hong and the others are willing to take over this drama because of Mr. Lin's relationship. I don't dare to take away Mr. Lin's credit."

Chen Jiashang would not take the credit for himself, after all, he is not a few catties, if he dares to speak out, it will be easy to be exposed by others.

Wouldn't that be embarrassing and embarrassing, so it's better to tell the truth honestly, so as not to continue to hype this matter outside.

Hearing that this was Lin Daoqiu's decision, the reporters at the scene were relieved. If it was Lin Daoqiu, then this matter would be easy to understand.

But they still couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu wanted to write a movie, and then arranged for Sammo Hung and the three of them to play the villain, which was really puzzling.

At this moment, there was an uproar outside the scene, and then everyone took a closer look and found that Lin Daoqiu suddenly appeared.

When Lin Daoqiu came to the stage, Chen Jiashang immediately gave Lin Daoqiu the main seat and handed him the microphone.

"Thank you all reporters for coming to this opening ceremony. I believe you have many questions, so I came to the scene to answer your doubts."

Lin Daoqiu seldom appeared in front of media reporters, so naturally everyone was unwilling to let this good opportunity pass.

"San Mao, A Biao, and Mr. Li are all the best martial arts stars in Xiangjiang. It's actually my idea to let them play the villains this time. Simply put, it is to diversify the actors..."

"Before the film, the creation of characters has always been facial makeup, which is either good or bad. This has continued to this day, and I believe it will continue in the future. But what I want to say is that actors have many faces, no I can only play good guys and heroes all the time, as long as the script is suitable, it’s okay to play villains, but I still have to let them play their part.”

Sammo Hung's play style or type is set very rigidly, which is the image of a decent protagonist. They worry that the audience will not accept it if they play other roles, and it may even lead to poor box office of the movie.

It's normal for them to think this way, and no one wants to let the protagonist not be the villain.

Even if it's a cameo or a supporting role, it's to save face for friends, not what they want.

But this will limit their play paths, causing them to have nothing to shoot in the later stage, and the audience will get tired of watching them, and in the end they can only go narrower and narrower until they have nowhere to go.

So what Lin Daoqiu has to do is to broaden their acting paths, be it the leading role or the supporting role, and it’s fine if the upright can play the villain, this is the path an actor should really take.

It's just that the thinking of actors now is still very single. I've played a decent hero all my life, so you want me to play a villain?How can they accept this.

If it wasn't for Lin Daoqiu's words, it would be impossible for Sammo Hung and the others to act as villains.

But after this time, Lin Daoqiu hopes that "The True Colors of a Man" will allow those actors to see the diversity of actors, so as not to make their road narrower and narrower.

"That's what Mr. Lin told us at the beginning. I think he's right. If Sammo Hung plays a villain, everyone will be surprised, but as long as he plays well, I think there will be no problem."

If the box office results are good at that time, Sammo Hung doesn't mind adding a villain role to his choice in the future.

Even Lin Daoqiu and Sammo Hung have said this, so other people will naturally not sing against him.

The launch conference ended successfully, and the topic of "The True Colors of a Man" will naturally continue to burn.

Everyone wants to see what kind of movie Sammo Hung and his villains will make.

Because it is a gangster action movie, the script is complete, the plot is not complicated, and the action design is in charge of the Hong Jiaban.

So Lin Daoqiu hopes that this drama can be released in time for the summer vacation, and together with "A Chinese Ghost Story" will pull up this year's summer vacation.

Chen Jiashang felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, but "The True Colors of a Man", a blockbuster film in a certain sense, can only succeed and not fail for him.

If the filming fails or the box office is not good, Chen Jiashang believes that it may be difficult for him to get a second chance in the future.

…………

"Diversified actors? Does that mean I can also play the villain?"

Lin Qingxia was very interested in what Lin Daoqiu said at the opening ceremony of "The True Colors of a Man".

"Do you think Dongfang Invincible is a decent person or a villain?"

Lin Daoqiu's question immediately caught Brigitte Lin.

It stands to reason that Dongfang Bubai should be a villain in "Swordsman", but in the eyes of the public, Dongfang Bubai played by Brigitte Lin is not a villain, at most he can be regarded as a character who is both good and evil.

"Actually, there's no need to dwell on this issue. In Tsui Hark's design, Dongfang Invincible is not a simple villain. Seriously speaking, he is a tragic character who cannot be loved or hated."

"Swordsman" has ended, and Lin Daoqiu has no intention of continuing to struggle with this issue.

However, Lin Daoqiu has roughly figured out how to shoot the third part.

Ren Woxing practiced kung fu and became obsessed and began to kill. Ren Yingying was arrested by the decent faction and brought to Shaolin Temple because she opposed him leaving Heimuya.

After hearing the news, Linghu Chong immediately returned to the rivers and lakes, and met many fake Dongfang Bubai, until by chance, he found Dongfang Bubai who fell off the cliff and survived.

Lin Daoqiu hasn't figured out how to edit it later, and he will have to discuss it with Tsui Hark, anyway, it is to integrate the plot of "Swordsman".

But what Lin Daoqiu can be sure of is that Jin Yong will be very annoyed when he knows that he has changed his novel again.

But Lin Daoqiu remembered that Tsui Hark's third "Swordsman" was changed even more messily, so this one of his own still has the shadow of the original work, Jin Daxia shouldn't be too angry, right?
