Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2128
The investment in "The Saint of Gamblers" was not large, and it didn't matter to Lin Daoqiu that it failed to be released in the end. The big deal would be a loss of several million.

But what happened this time told him that the things he took for granted before may not really be smooth sailing.

After watching "The Saint of Gamblers", Lin Daoqiu began to worry about the other two plays, "The True Colors of a Man" and "The Wind and Cloud".

Fortunately, the filming of "Feng Yun" has not started yet, so he still has time to adjust slowly.

After Lin Daoqiu left Xiangjiang, "The True Colors of a Man" has entered the filming stage. It seems that this film has been filmed for a while, but Lin Daoqiu never went to the scene to visit the set from the beginning to the end.

Unlike "The True Colors of a Man", the soul of "The Saint of Gamblers" is Zhou Xingchi. If he doesn't perform well, it will affect the quality of the whole drama.

But different from "The Gambler", there are many soul characters in "The True Colors of a Man". Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jet Li, and Qian Xiaohao are all top martial arts stars in Xiangjiang.

Moreover, there is Hong Jiaban as the team responsible for the performance of the martial arts and villains in this drama, so Lin Daoqiu does not need to worry too much about this drama.

He believes that Sammo Hung can make this movie well even if he doesn't show up, but he doesn't know how much control Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng have over this movie.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu immediately called Fang Jinsheng and went straight to the set of "The True Colors of a Man".

Sammo Hung and the others did not know that Lin Daoqiu would choose to visit the class on this day.

What they are filming today is the scene where four people were raided by the police and ended up fighting with Andy Lau and others.

When Lin Daoqiu arrived at the scene, the crew happened to be shooting.

The police officers stepped forward to check, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside the black commercial vehicle from the outside.

"Open the car door..."

After the police officer stepped forward and knocked on the window a few times, the door of the commercial vehicle was slowly opened from the inside.

I saw Yuen Biao supporting Hui Yinghong who was lying on the seat at this time.

"I'm sorry, Sir, my wife is about to give birth so we rushed to the hospital. I'm sorry, we didn't mean to drive so fast."

The police officer glanced at the big belly woman lying in it, and then he immediately let down his vigilance.

"You can't drive so fast to go to the hospital. Follow our car and I'll take you to the hospital."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when Chen Jiashang yelled a click.

Then he walked to Andy Lau and talked to him about how the next plot should be performed.

At this time, whoever called Mr. Lin, everyone at the scene immediately turned their heads away.

Sammo Hung and the others who were sitting in the business car also got out of the car when they heard Lin Daoqiu coming.

They all wore black clothes, with a pair of sunglasses on their faces, they looked pretty cool.

"Everyone has worked hard. I just came back, so I came here to visit you."

Lin Daoqiu felt a lot less worried when he saw Sammo Hung and their outfits.

Judging from their appearance, you can indeed feel that there is a ruthlessness in their bodies.

Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng had already come to Lin Daoqiu's side. They had not been notified that Lin Daoqiu would come today, so they were obviously very surprised by Lin Daoqiu's appearance.

"Let's continue filming, I remember that the next part is a wonderful fight scene, so this part must be filmed well."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to delay their filming, so he pulled up a chair and sat beside him.

Chen Jia and the others saw that it was not easy to chat with Lin Daoqiu, so they took their places.

After he finished chatting with Andy Lau about the plot, the other party also understood what to do next, so everyone returned to their positions and stood up.

"start……"

At this time, the camera turned to Andy Lau, he took a flashlight into the car, and suddenly found that the pregnant woman was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, which was obviously unreasonable.

"Go check him out."

Ask one of the police officers to go up and check again, and the other party does so immediately.

"Please take out your ID card and check it, please cooperate with us...uh..."

At this time, an accident happened, and the police officer suddenly struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all.

"Let him go, I said let him go..."

Andy Lau immediately realized that something had happened, he immediately pulled out his gun, and the policeman next to him also quickly pulled out his gun.

At this time, Chen Jiashang yelled "click", and the plot was over.

The next fight scene will be played by Sammo Hung and Hong Jiaban. They have been rehearsing this fight scene for two weeks, and everyone already knows what they should do next.

But this kind of group play cannot be finished in one or two days. If you are lucky, you can finish filming this scene in a week, which will be very good.

So in the next few days, Lin Daoqiu will often come to visit the set, and take a look at the progress of this drama by the way.

It is not an easy task to gather Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and Jet Li into one drama.

Just being able to see three people appearing in the same scene in a movie is enough to make people excited, but at this time Jet Li is not as famous as later generations, so everyone will still focus more on Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao body.

But even so, Jet Li's fighting scenes are still very good, which will make people's eyes shine after watching it.

"Jiahe has found a treasure this time, and he might become Aaron's strong competitor in the future."

Sammo Hung's vision is naturally not that bad, Jet Li's action scenes are no worse than theirs, and his fights are crisp and sharp. It seems that the champion is really the champion, and it is really not a cover-up.

"Aaron has developed so well in Hollywood, thanks to Mr. Lin."

He and Sammo Hung also had the opportunity to enter Hollywood back then, but unfortunately they did not attract much attention after filming Lin Daoqiu's "The Mummy".

On the contrary, Jackie Chan, after experiencing the failure of "Killer's Trenches", relied on Lin Daoqiu's help to start his career in Hollywood. He has not returned to Xiangjiang to film for a long time.

Jackie Chan's departure gave up the market, and it depends on whether Jet Li can stand out during his absence.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's positions in Hong Kong are already very stable, and it is impossible to go up there. It depends on the success of New Oriental's Asian theater chain plan in the future.

After all, Xiangjiang's market is only so big. If they don't expand quickly, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao worry that Xiangjiang's market will gradually become saturated.

Although Xiangjiang is still the most prosperous film market in Asia from the current point of view, who can say for sure?
Rather than saying that they are envious of Jackie Chan's success in Hollywood, it is better to say that they have begun to worry about their future.

"Let's talk to Mr. Lin at that time, after all we have been filming in Xiangjiang for so many years, we should go outside for a break."

Sammo Hung's ambition remains undiminished, he still hopes to go to Hollywood with Yuen Biao, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of their efforts.
