Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2279 Is Mr. Lin crazy?

Early the next morning, Liu Zhenwei called Wang Jiawei early to wake him up, and then took him out for breakfast.

"When you see Mr. Lin, you can say whatever you want. Don't hide it, or he will be unhappy."

Before going to see Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei gave Wang Jiawei a good tutorial on the things that should be paid attention to when meeting Lin Daoqiu.

"What do you think Mr. Lin will ask me to do? I haven't figured it out after thinking about it all night."

After finally getting a chance to meet Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jiawei naturally didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Of course, he hopes he can direct a movie more than screenwriting, but unfortunately, no one is willing to invest in him.

"Didn't you say it last night? Screenwriter, don't you really think that Mr. Lin will entrust you to shoot "Feng Yun"? You can't be so naive, can you?"

Liu Zhenwei shook his head while talking.

Naturally, Wong Kar Wai is not so naive, but he still inevitably has some fantasies that he shouldn't have.

For example, after Lin Daoqiu called him over, he really entrusted him to shoot "Feng Yun", then Wang Jiawei really woke up laughing.

"I'm just joking. If Mr. Lin really entrusts me to shoot "Feng Yun", then I will definitely refuse on the spot."

Although Wang Jiawei also thought about this possibility, if the opportunity really came, he would still firmly refuse it.

The reason for Wong Kar Wai's refusal is very simple, that is, he can't make the film "The Wind and Cloud" well.

Now that I know that I don't have the ability to shoot well, there is no need to continue at the beginning, otherwise it will only be worse if I get embarrassed at the time.

"Maybe we are overthinking, maybe Mr. Lin has other movies that he wants to entrust us to shoot."

Thinking of this, Wang Jiawei's excitement immediately subsided.

After breakfast, Liu Zhenwei checked the time, and then took Wang Jiawei to New Oriental to meet Lin Daoqiu.

After they arrived at New Oriental, Lin Daoqiu had just entered the office not long ago.

"Mr. Lin is already waiting for the two of you inside, please come in with me."

After Fang Jinsheng finished speaking, he brought Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei into Lin Daoqiu's office.

"Mr. Lin, good morning..."

After entering, the two hurriedly greeted Lin Daoqiu.

"Good morning, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the chair opposite him.

So Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei sat down on the chairs honestly.

In fact, the reason why Lin Daoqiu recruited Wang Jiawei was not to find him to shoot "Feng Yun", nor did he think about letting him join the crew of "Feng Yun".

It was because Lin Daoqiu felt that Wang Jiawei had been silent for so long, if he didn't give him a hand, it would be too unreasonable.

After all, although I am not interested in the films made by Wong Kar Wai, I have to say that the people who like the films made by Sunglass Wang really like them, but I am not in the ranks of his audience.

And according to the trajectory of the previous life, Wong Kar Wai should have been well-known at this time, and it is unlikely that he has not even directed a movie like he is now.

So Lin Daoqiu planned to give him a chance to become famous as soon as possible.

Of course, Lin Daoqiu did not write the play for him, and it is impossible for him to have the time to help Wong Kar Wai write the script.

And in Lin Daoqiu's view, Wong Kar Wai's commercial films in the early stage were still very interesting, and it was only later that he started to play.

"Actually, I brought you here today to ask if you have any ideas about making a movie?"

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei nodded immediately.

After the failure of "The Holy Gambler", he has been looking for an opportunity to make a movie that would make him ashamed, but he has never been able to wait for the opportunity.

Now that Lin Daoqiu finally remembered him, Liu Zhenwei naturally hoped to take this opportunity.

Naturally, Wong Kar-wai also wanted to make a movie by himself, but he never had this opportunity before.

"I see it this way. Last year's "The Saint of Gamblers" had a great influence on you. I believe you should have learned a lot in the past year. Is there any movie you want to make, or the two of you working together?"

Lin Daoqiu remembered that Lau Zhenwei and Wong Kar Wai had collaborated on a movie in the early days, but he couldn't remember what movie it was.

So he simply found these two guys, invested in them, and asked them to make that movie.

"The two of us cooperate?"

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Liu Zhenwei was slightly surprised and turned to look at Wang Jiawei next to him.

If this is the case, then Liu Zhenwei will not refuse, because in his opinion, Wong Kar Wai is actually a very good film talent, but he has never had a chance to prove himself.

Now that their opportunity has come, Liu Zhenwei certainly wants to seize this opportunity.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will definitely make this movie well."

Liu Zhenwei quickly agreed. Although he didn't even know what he wanted to shoot, he felt that Wong Kar-wai must have a way to come up with a script that satisfied Lin Daoqiu.

"If that's the case, then you all go back and prepare the script. When the time comes, hand it in to me after you finish it. After I read it, I can turn it on."

Lin Daoqiu hopes that they can make that movie, but I don't know if Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei will write that movie.

Wong Kar Wai didn't say much the whole time, basically it was Liu Zhenwei who spoke for him.

But Lin Daoqiu asked them to go back and prepare the script, which made Wong Kar-wai a bit difficult.

It is not difficult for him to write the script. The difficult thing is to make Lin Daoqiu satisfied after reading it. This is really not an easy task for him.

You must know that in Xiangjiang, who doesn't know how high Lin Daoqiu's requirements for the script are.

If the script satisfies him, it will definitely sell well when it is filmed.

But can the script written by myself have such a level?Wang Jiawei, who has always been very confident in himself, suddenly started to make trouble at this time.

He didn't even know how he left Lin Daoqiu's office in the end, he just remembered that Lin Daoqiu asked them to hand in the script as soon as possible before they left.

"It's all right now, we can finally make a movie together."

After leaving New Oriental, Liu Zhenwei's face was full of happiness, but Wang Jiawei next to him looked worried.

"what happened to you?"

Realizing that something was wrong with Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei hurriedly asked.

Wang Jiawei turned his head to look at Liu Zhenwei, and asked him in a low voice.

"Is Mr. Lin crazy? How could he think of investing in us to make a movie?"

When asked by Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei was speechless.

"You should hurry up and write out the script and hand it in for Mr. Lin to review. This is a good opportunity we finally got, so don't miss it."

Liu Zhenwei doesn't care about that, anyway, what they have to do now is to write a script that satisfies Lin Daoqiu.

As for other things, they were simply not within the scope of Liu Zhenwei's consideration.
