Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2139
It is no surprise that TVB has suffered a crushing defeat. The ratings of "Genghis Khan" began to decline gradually after it was broadcast, from [-] on the first day to only [-] on the fifth day.

Afterwards, "Genghis Khan" was followed by "Zombie Raiders" produced by Wang Tianlin. In this film, Cheung Siu-fai and Carina Lau played the leading roles.

In addition to Lin Zhengying's filming of Xiangjiang's zombie TV series, ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" is more famous.

Other zombie themes are nondescript, and the things they talk about are obviously difficult to be liked by the audience.

Wang Tianlin is best at filming martial arts TV dramas, but this kind of ancient costumes combined with western vampire themes is simply nondescript.

But right now, TVB can't think of any good themes, and this drama was broadcast before "Zombie Daoist", so I'm afraid it's just to grab the limelight.

When Lin Daoqiu heard that TVB would come up with a TV series with this theme, he didn't even bother to answer it.

I believe that before "Hotel Storm" is over, Dongshi's suppression of TVB will continue.

If Uncle Liu doesn't come up with something new, Lin Daoqiu believes that the decline of wireless will become very fast.

Handing over the affairs of the TV station to Yu Teng and Zeng Lizhen, Lin Daoqiu is going to calm down and write the script of "Red Cliff".

The budget for "Red Cliff" should not be too high, because this film is destined to cause a sensation only in Asia. If it is abroad, those people don't know how to appreciate it at all, and the box office will naturally not be so high.

But for Lin Daoqiu, the salary in the mainland is very low at this time, it can even be said to be ridiculously low.

Therefore, he will not spend too much on the salary, and for the sake of box office, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to find all the main roles to be played by mainland actors.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu planned to write the script first. As for the casting, I am afraid he will have to come forward in person this time.

Maybe this trip back to the mainland, you can also find your birthplace by the way.

The excuse is that Lin Daoqiu has already thought about it, and he said that he bumped into a big rock while swimming and accidentally lost his memory.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that in the last life, a rich man relied on his accent to find his ancestral home. Although he didn't know if what he finally found was true, but now Lin Daoqiu only had this way.

It took two weeks to read "Red Cliff" and then create the script.

Because Lin Daoqiu watched many TV series of the Three Kingdoms in his last life, the plots of "Battle of the Red Cliff" are basically the same, except for some details, the overall trend is similar.

There will be many scenes of water warfare in "Red Cliff", so naturally there must be very large docks on both sides.

I roughly wrote the script, but it was only the first version. Lin Daoqiu planned to call a group of screenwriters and let them be responsible for the revision of "Red Cliff".

Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Huang Baiming, and Huang Bingyao were all called to New Oriental.

Before that, they didn't know that Lin Daoqiu had plans to film "Red Cliff". Everyone thought that Lin Daoqiu called them to the meeting because of the treatment of the Screenwriters Association.

They just sat down, Lin Daoqiu expressed his idea of ​​filming "Red Cliff" in front of everyone.

"I believe everyone has heard or watched TVB's "Genghis Khan" recently. This time, Uncle Liu is rarely willing to spend a lot of money, and even sent people to the mainland to film the scene. I really admire it."

Everyone didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to suddenly talk about "Genghis Khan". After all, that drama is a TV series, and they usually shoot movies.

"After watching the prairie, I plan to make a movie, and this time I plan to play something big, filming a classic battle in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Battle of Chibi."

If Lin Daoqiu suddenly mentioned the TV series "Genghis Khan" just now, everyone was just a little surprised.

Now Lin Daoqiu suddenly told them that he was going to shoot "Red Cliff", and everyone present showed shocked expressions.

"This time I plan to invest [-] million yuan to make this film, because this film does not require special effects, so most of the money will be invested in construction. I want to film a real battle of Chibi."

Lin Daoqiu made a bold statement that he planned to make a real battle of the Red Cliff, which means that those people in the past only made children's play games.

But what Lin Daoqiu said is really not wrong at all. Xiangjiang is such a small place, and the things shot on the set are not majestic at all.

If you want to shoot "Red Cliff" in Xiangjiang, it is obviously very different from the mainland.

There is no way to compare in terms of the number of people and momentum alone, let alone the scenery of the mainland, which is impossible to match in Xiangjiang.

"This time I will be the chief director, and everyone will be in charge of the screenwriting. Since "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one of the four famous novels in our country, we can't shoot randomly. The creation of the script must be very rigorous and not make me laugh."

In his previous life, Lin Daoqiu had watched some funny versions of the Battle of the Red Cliff, which made his head grow big. Shooting like that would simply tarnish the four classics, and the final box office results are naturally unlikely to be much better.

In addition to the screenwriters sitting at the scene, Lin Daoqiu also recruited Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan and asked them to serve as consultants for "Red Cliff".

The Chinese studies skills of the two movie masters are naturally nothing to say, and they are here to check for gaps and make up for gaps.

"I also think it's time for Brother Qiu to make a real drama with a historical theme. After all, the adaptations of the four famous novels in the three places on both sides of the strait are just scratching the surface, and almost no good works have been produced."

There are quite a few photographs of the four great masterpieces, but almost none of them can be called classics.

This time Lin Daoqiu was going to shoot "Red Cliff", everyone was shocked at the beginning and then looked eager to try.

It is rare to be able to participate in such a blockbuster, and everyone naturally wants to contribute.

It didn't take long for the news that Lin Daoqiu was going to shoot "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" spread, and everyone in Xiangjiang was very concerned about this news.

Before Lin Daoqiu spent a lot of money to shoot "Havoc in Heaven" was well received, and the special effects technology in it made it hard to tell the truth from the fake.

This time he is going to shoot "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and everyone is full of enthusiasm for this movie, and in the report, he also specifically mentioned that Lin Daoqiu plans to go to the mainland to shoot the entire scene this time.

If it's just other people going to the mainland to film, then it's not a big deal, because many people have done this before.

But Lin Daoqiu's identity is a bit sensitive, he represents not only himself, but the entire Xiangjiang film and television industry.

If he makes the trip this time, it will be a very meaningful thing.
