Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2136 The real nonsense
Rather than saying that Zhou Xingchi cheered up, it would be better to say that he temporarily grasped a life-saving straw.

At least in his opinion, he still has a chance now, and since he has a chance, he should continue to work hard, but his current state is completely different from what Wu Mengda wants to see.

After arriving at the TV station, Zhou Xingchi asked a few screenwriters to talk about the new drama.

But in his current state, he couldn't think of any good themes at all, so several people spent several days in Dongshi's nest, chatting about many themes, but in the end they couldn't decide.

Although Wu Mengda participated in the creation of the script, he is not the one who decides the type, he is only responsible for providing some creative materials and opinions.

"Is it true that we can't make an interesting TV series?"

Zhou Xingchi held his head in his hands with a troubled expression, it seemed that he was very troubled by this.

"Why don't we ask Mr. Lin?"

In Wu Mengda's view, the easiest way is to go to Lin Daoqiu, as long as the other party agrees to write a script for them, then everything will be solved.

But when he finished speaking, Zhou Xingchi immediately raised his head and gave him a hard look.

"This time we can't find Mr. Lin again. We have to rely on ourselves to make a popular TV series, otherwise we will never be able to become excellent actors for the rest of our lives."

Zhou Xingchi is quite ambitious, but Wu Mengda doesn't think there is anything about it.

After the screenwriters next to him heard what Wu Mengda said, one of them spoke.

"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise it would be useless if you went. Mr. Lin told us a few days ago that he would reduce the script creation, so even if you went, you wouldn't be able to get the script."

In their opinion, Zhou Xingchi's face is not big enough for Lin Daoqiu to write another script for him.

Hearing what the screenwriter next to him said, Wu Mengda could only shrug his shoulders, because he didn't even have the last shortcut.

"It's up to us to be on our own."

Zhou Xingchi made this idea more firm.

"By the way, Dong Guanzi wrote a TV series. I've watched it and it's not bad. Why don't you ask him to come over and have a chat."

Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi haven't been filming in Dongshi during this time, so they don't know who Dongguan Tsai is at all.

When Dongguan boy arrived, they were sure that they did not know this person.

"My name is Li Lichi, and everyone calls me Dongguan Boy. I just joined East TV not long ago. Please give me your advice in the future."

Li Lichi's ancestral home is Dongguan, so everyone calls him Dongguan Tsai.

But what the other party's name is doesn't matter to Zhou Xingchi, all he wants to know is how the script written by the other party is.

Now Stephen Chow does not have the right to choose scripts, the scripts of those big-name screenwriters must first be provided to Dongshi's most popular Huadan and Xiaosheng, and after they have finished the selection, it will be the turn of newcomers like Stephen Chow.

""He Comes From the Rivers and Lakes"? Can this script work?"

As soon as Wu Mengda saw the name of the script, a disgusted expression appeared on his face, because the name didn't sound very attractive.

"Okay, why not, this script is most suitable for people like Brother Xing and Brother Da to shoot. As long as we find a suitable leading actor, I believe this drama will be very popular."

After finally being called over, Li Lichi naturally wanted to say that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth in his script.

But it would definitely not be enough to just let Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda star in this drama. What Li Lichi hopes is to find a niche like Zheng Shaoqiu or Liu Songren as the leading role.

After all, although Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda are somewhat famous at this time, there is still a distance compared with those real niche students.

Zhou Xingchi touched his nose, feeling that Li Lichi had never thought of making him the leading actor in this drama.

But when he read the script, he found that the plot setting of "He Comes from Jianghu" is really not suitable for him to be the leading actor.

Because the male lead is a big brother who retired from the world, Zhou Xingchi couldn't play this role, not only because of his temperament but also because of his age.

"I think the role of the big brother is the most suitable for Liu Weng."

Liu Weng mentioned by Li Lichi refers to Liu Zhirong. He behaves well, speaks and behaves well, and treats people with enthusiasm and friendliness.

Wu Mengda hasn't read the script yet, so he doesn't know whether what Li Lichi said is true or not.

But Zhou Xingchi, who was reading the script, nodded suddenly, because it would be more appropriate if the image of the big brother in the script was played by Liu Zhirong.

It's just that Liu Zhirong wasn't something they could hire whenever they wanted. They had to take the script to the production director for review, and the other party would only assign the protagonist to the play if they thought it was okay.

At this time, Dongshi's production director is Xu Xiaoming, but he has already gone up to shoot "Ip Man", so now Dongshi's usual affairs are handled by the deputy director Liang Jiashu.

After reading Li Lichi's script, Zhou Xingchi felt that this TV series might be a try, because they really couldn't think of a better idea.

"Brother Da, this time we will play the father and son, and let Liu Weng play the male lead. I think this drama is very interesting."

Zhou Xingchi decided to take a gamble with this "He Comes From Jianghu".

"It's up to you to decide, anyway, I'm cooperating with you."

Li Li listened to Zhou Xingchi as if he was the director of the production department, as if he decided to make this movie, he would be able to make it.

"Let's go, let's go to Director Xu."

Zhou Xingchi directly picked up the script, and then took Li Lichi and Wu Mengda to find Liang Jiashu.

"Director Xu has gone up to film, and now Director Liang Jiashu is in charge of daily affairs."

After hearing what Li Lichi said about Zhou Xingchi, he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, Lin Daoqiu asked them to return to Dongshi to film, and neither Liang Jiashu nor Xu Xiaoming would stop them from filming.

When the three came to Liang Jiashu's office, Zhou Xingchi handed over the script to each other.

Liang Jiashu took over the script and chatted with Zhou Xingchi and the others while watching it.

Liang Jiashu still has some understanding of Zhou Xingchi's situation. He and Liu Zhenwei filmed "The Saint of Gamblers" written by Lin Daoqiu. It was supposed to be released recently, but it was suddenly rejected by Lin Daoqiu.

Then Lin Daoqiu asked Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda to return to Dongshi to film TV series. This kind of ups and downs must have been a blow to Zhou Xingchi, not to mention that he is still a newcomer.

"The script is okay, but none of you seem suitable to play the leading actor."

Zhou Xingchi is too young, and Uncle Da's temperament is not suitable. No matter how you look at it, they are not suitable to play the leading actor in this drama.

"We want to invite Liu Weng to be the leading actor in this play, and Uncle Da and I will play father and son here."

Liang Jiashu didn't expect that Zhou Xingchi didn't ask to play the leading role, but gave up the opportunity and was willing to play a supporting role, which made him very curious.

Could it be that Zhou Xingchi grew up all of a sudden because of the accident in "The Gambler"?Or mature?
