Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2280 Make this kind of movie?
In order to write the script as soon as possible, Liu Zhenwei simply moved to Wang Jiawei's house to supervise him.

"Writing, why are you staring at me? I don't have a script on my face?"

Liu Zhenwei was eating the barbecued pork buns he just bought, and found that Wang Jiawei was staring at him motionless.

"No inspiration."

Wong Kar Wai shook his head, the script can be written out of nowhere.

If it was that simple, he wouldn't be just an obscure screenwriter until now.

"Don't look at me if you are not inspired, just stare at me to see what good things you can write."

Liu Zhenwei shook his head while talking, he also wanted to help, but the two of them discussed and discussed without any result.

At this moment, a promotional video of a TV series suddenly played on the TV.

"Uncle Nine's "Zombie Daoist" is finally coming out."

Liu Zhenwei knew very early on that Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Daoist" will be released during this year's Spring Festival.

Lin Zhengying's previous "Mr. Zombie" has already accumulated a lot of fans, and this time the broadcast of "Zombie Daoist" will definitely attract many people to watch.

Moreover, Lin Zhengying's zombie film is the best supernatural kung fu film made by Xiangjiang, so naturally there will be no shortage of audiences.

"You said... how about we also make ghost movies?"

At this time, Wang Jiawei suddenly raised an idea to Liu Zhenwei.

"Ghost movies? Are you kidding me?"

Liu Zhenwei suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Jiawei, he felt that the other party was joking.

He and Wong Kar Wai had never been in touch with the shooting of ghost films before, and they hadn't even written the script of this aspect.

At this time, Wong Kar-wai suddenly proposed that he wanted to make a ghost film, isn't this nonsense?
"I'm not joking with you, I'm discussing this matter with you very seriously."

Wang Jiawei shook his head, he looked very serious.

Seeing Wang Jiawei's appearance, Liu Zhenwei became worried, because he could see that Wang Jiawei seemed to be serious this time.

But the problem is that they have no experience in making ghost films at all. If they plunge into it at this time, I am afraid that the script they write will never pass Lin Daoqiu's review.

Even if Lin Daoqiu just opened a small-cost movie for them this time, Lin Daoqiu's money can't be regarded as money, right?

"Your idea is very special, but I think it's better for us to make some comedy-themed movies, because that's what you and I are good at. As for ghost movies, let's talk about it later."

Liu Zhenwei vetoed Wong Kar-wai's idea very gently, after all, he suddenly wanted to shoot a subject that they were not good at, and the possibility of failure could be said to be very high.

And when the script is finished and sent up, Liu Zhenwei believes that it will be difficult for Wang Jiawei to write a ghost film to get Lin Daoqiu's approval, so it will be a waste of time.

"What if it's a comedy-type ghost movie?"

Wang Jiawei asked suddenly.

"Ah? Comedy ghost movie? You mean this movie is just a ghost movie on the outside, but the real core is actually a funny movie?"

Wong Kar Wai nodded.

If he is asked to make a simple supernatural film, it will be a bit embarrassing for Wong Kar Wai.

But if it's just a comedy with a ghost movie cloak, then it's not too difficult for him.

"You can try it, I think it's interesting."

Liu Zhenwei thought for a while, and he felt that Wang Jiawei's idea was quite good, at least it was a bit of a gimmick.

So he felt that he could support the other party and give it a try, and if he couldn't pass Lin Daoqiu's review by then, let's talk about it.

Wang Jiawei was very happy to get the support of Liu Zhenwei, so he started to write this supernatural film that he found very interesting.

It didn't take long for a script called "The Ghost Office" to be born from the hands of Wong Kar Wai.

"Do you think this script can really impress Mr. Lin?"

On the way to meet Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei looked very nervous.

"how could I know?"

Wang Jiawei looked at Liu Zhenwei with an indifferent expression on his face.

"You...you won't tell me at this time, you don't have any confidence in this script at all, do you? I've given Mr. Lin a guarantee."

Liu Zhenwei was startled, he didn't expect Wang Jiawei to say such a sentence to him at this time.

Before that, Liu Zhenwei had read the script of "Haunted Police Station" no less than dozens of times.

He thought the subject matter was not bad, at least it looked a bit gimmicky, so he called Lin Daoqiu to send the script.

But now Wang Jiawei actually told him that he didn't know, which really scared Liu Zhenwei.

"Actually, I don't think you need to make such a fuss. Shoot the script as soon as it passes, and go back to write if it doesn't pass. Chinese New Year is coming soon, so be happy."

Wong Kar Wai patted Liu Zhenwei on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous.

But Liu Zhenwei can't be nervous, because the person they are going to meet now is Lin Daoqiu, the head of Xiangjiang film and television industry.

This kind of script that they themselves were not sure about handed in to Lin Daoqiu for review, Liu Zhenwei worried that he would be scolded by Lin Daoqiu when the time came.

"If I had known earlier, I should have watched it a few more times."

Liu Zhenwei had a look of grievance on his face. He only realized that he was afraid now, but it was too late, because the car had already driven to the gate of Zhong Chuhong's villa and stopped.

"Mr. Lin is inside, the two of you follow me."

After the door opened, Fang Jinsheng walked out.

The New Year is coming soon, Lin Daoqiu rarely has time to stay in the villa with Zhong Chuhong.

After receiving Liu Zhenwei's call, he directly asked Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei to come over without thinking too much.

"Why do I always feel that Liu Zhenwei values ​​you very much?"

Before they came, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Daoqiu chatted about Liu Zhenwei.

“How come you see?”

Lin Daoqiu looked at Zhong Chuhong and asked with a smile.

"He didn't make "The Holy Gambler" well before, and if it were someone else, he would have scolded him long ago, but you not only didn't do this, but also let him go back to Dongshi to continue his studies. It's obvious that you don't value him. It's impossible."

Having been with Lin Daoqiu for so many years, Zhong Chuhong can somewhat figure out some of Lin Daoqiu's thoughts.

But she still couldn't figure out how Liu Zhenwei could be valued so highly by Lin Daoqiu.

Obviously he has not made any achievements with Lin Daoqiu so far, but Lin Daoqiu is still training him in a planned way.

"Feel it, I think he has spirituality, but it hasn't been developed yet, so I can wait, and I have time to wait slowly, there is no rush."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Fang Jinsheng brought Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei in from the outside.

"Pour two cups of tea for our guest."

Zhong Chuhong nodded, then got up to help Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei pour tea.
