Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2272 Looking for me to shoot?

After Liu Zhenwei arrived in a taxi, he found that besides Lin Daoqiu, Zhong Chuhong was also there.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong."

Liu Zhenwei greeted Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong respectfully, and then Lin Daoqiu asked him to sit down.

"I heard that you have been filming at Dongshi during this period of time. How are you doing recently?"

Lin Daoqiu has not seen Liu Zhenwei for a long time.

Since he went to LA, the two of them had no chance to meet each other.

No wonder Liu Zhenwei was so excited when he suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern. I have had a pretty good time at Dongshi during this period of time. I am occasionally called to make movies, and my life is very fulfilling."

Although Liu Zhenwei said so, it is obviously impossible to say that he does not want to make a movie.

Although the original "Gambler" did not hit him as hard as Zhou Xingchi, it was by no means a good thing for Liu Zhenwei.

"The matter of "The Saint of Gamblers" actually has something to do with me. I made a little miscalculation at the beginning, so I let you waste a few months."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say that he misjudged the abilities of Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi, which can be regarded as saving some face for Liu Zhenwei.

Of course Liu Zhenwei also knew that if it wasn't because they didn't make the movie well, Lin Daoqiu would not have been able to cancel the release of the movie.

After all, if you don't want to invest millions of dollars, you don't want it. This is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Only Lin Daoqiu dared to do this, and in his opinion, the "Sacred Gambler" he made before should not be released.

""The Holy Gambler" will still be on, but it will be re-shooted, but not now."

Lin Daoqiu made a promise to Liu Zhenwei, but it is unknown when this promise will be fulfilled.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Liu Zhenwei didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

I am happy that "The Holy Gambler" will be filmed one day, but I just don't know when Lin Daoqiu plans to let them film it.

"I called you here this time because I have a play for you to try."

"Please tell me, Mr. Lin."

Liu Zhenwei heard that Lin Daoqiu was going to give him another play, he was both excited and nervous.

If he didn't make a good movie this time, he wouldn't have the face to meet Lin Daoqiu.

"The name of this play is "Fengyun". You should have heard about it before, right?"

"Wind... Fengyun?"

Liu Zhenwei, who had kept his head down and kept a smile on his face, raised his head immediately when he heard that Lin Daoqiu was going to entrust him to shoot "Feng Yun".

At this time, Liu Zhenwei's eyes were full of shock, because Lin Daoqiu's idea was simply an incredible thing to him.

"Fengyun" is a comic that Lin Daoqiu asked Ma Rongcheng to cooperate with, and it has been rumored that this comic will be made into a movie.

According to Liu Zhenwei's knowledge, "Feng Yun" is a blockbuster special effects film with an investment of at least over [-] million yuan.

He couldn't even shoot "The Saint of Gamblers" with millions of dollars. Lin Daoqiu suddenly wanted to entrust him to shoot "The Wind and Cloud".

"Don't be so surprised. I don't mean to ask you to make this movie alone. After all, the investment in "Feng Yun" is as high as tens of millions, and it may even exceed [-] million in the end."

Lin Daoqiu has not fully decided yet, what is the final production budget of "Fengyun".

But what is certain is that the final investment budget of this drama will definitely be around [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

And "Feng Yun" is aimed at the whole of Asia, that's why the production cost is so high.

If it is only for the Chinese market, then the production cost may have to be cut in half.

And Liu Zhenwei was relieved when he heard that Lin Daoqiu did not intend to let him take charge of the filming of "Fengyun" alone.

After all, Liu Zhenwei hadn't had much contact with special effects movies before shooting them.

Now Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him to take charge of the shooting of a blockbuster special effects movie. Even if Lin Daoqiu thought highly of him, Liu Zhenwei didn't think he could do it.

"Now the two male leads of "Feng Yun" have been decided, and they have practiced for half a year according to the deployment. Now, besides the director, we also need to find three female leads."

Liu Zhenwei has not had time to think whether he wants to be the director or the assistant.

But Lin Daoqiu suddenly proposed to find three heroines, which immediately drew Liu Zhenwei's attention.

"I plan to find newcomers to play these three heroines. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Suddenly asked by Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei didn't know how to answer, after all, he hadn't had time to read the comics of "Fengyun".

However, Liu Zhenwei found that with Zhong Chuhong present, he mistakenly thought that Lin Daoqiu wanted Zhong Chuhong to participate in "The Wind and Cloud".

"I think Miss Zhong can play one of the heroines?"

In Liu Zhenwei's opinion, Zhong Chuhong is a very good candidate regardless of his appearance and popularity.

But after Lin Daoqiu heard what Liu Zhenwei said, he directly shook his head and rejected Liu Zhenwei's proposal.

"As I said just now, I plan to find newcomers to play the three heroines. You don't have to think about Ah Hong and Qing Xia."

Zhong Chuhong, Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, these top female stars, Lin Daoqiu does not intend to let them participate in "Fengyun".

After all, their ages are already here, and the protagonists of "Fengyun" are basically in their early twenties.

If Zhong Chuhong were to play the heroine, Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok would not match her at all.

Although Lin Daoqiu could turn "Fengyun" into an all-star movie by stacking stars, this is not the result he wants to see.

"If you're a newcomer actor, there are quite a few choices, but I can't think of a few suitable people for a while. If Mr. Lin can give me a little time, I will definitely be able to think of a few good candidates."

When the actress was mentioned, Liu Zhenwei suddenly remembered the topic of Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers that he had just talked with Hong Qide.

There are only a few well-known female stars, but if the Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers Spectrum can be assembled, it will be easier to choose a female lead.

And it doesn't mean that all the top female stars can be on the list, and some female stars with potential can also be added.

In this way, it will be easier for everyone to find a heroine.

Otherwise, it all depends on previous cooperation, or other people's recommendations, so the range of choices is a bit too narrow.

So Liu Zhenwei hesitated for a while, and finally put forward Hong Qide's suggestion in front of Lin Daoqiu's words.

If Lin Daoqiu thinks it's not good, then Liu Zhenwei will naturally pretend that he didn't say anything, and then forget about it.
