Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2310 Then change the role

It's a good thing to be self-motivated, but the problem is that Maggie Cheung doesn't know how to improve her acting skills, or how to make movies well.

Zhong Chuhong didn't know how to teach her about this, because Zhong Chuhong herself was an actor who became a monk halfway through, and she learned her acting skills on the set.

But what is different from others is that in this life, because she collaborated with Lin Daoqiu in many movies and often received advice from him, her acting skills are naturally much better.

But Maggie Cheung has not yet collaborated with Wong Kar Wai in "Carmen in Mong Kok", so she is naturally not yet enlightened.

"Don't make fun of me. You don't need to worry if you are so good at acting, but I am different. Every time I finish a movie, I will be scolded by the audience for not being able to act."

As soon as this was mentioned, Maggie Cheung's mood became a little depressed.

It's not that she doesn't know that her acting skills are not good, but the problem is that she doesn't know how to improve.

And the directors of the previous films basically didn't have too high demands on her, even if her performance in the films was not so satisfactory, no one would criticize her.

But Maggie Cheung doesn't want to continue this kind of acting career, she wants to improve herself and improve her acting skills.

Seeing Maggie Cheung's appearance, Zhong Chuhong knew that she was not joking but was seriously thinking about it.

However, although Zhong Chuhong knows how to act, her methods belong only to her. If she uses her method to teach Maggie Cheung, the other party will not be able to learn it well.

After thinking about it, Zhong Chuhong felt that if she wanted to find someone in Xiangjiang to help Maggie Cheung improve her acting skills and achieve immediate results, there would be no one else except that guy.

…………

"What? You want me to teach Ayu how to act?"

Zhong Chuhong told Lin Daoqiu about Maggie Cheung and asked him to help teach Maggie Cheung to act.

For Zhong Chuhong's request, Lin Daoqiu, who was eating oranges, opened his eyes wide for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Your acting skills are not bad, why do you come to me instead of teaching?"

Lin Daoqiu really couldn't figure it out. Zhong Chuhong obviously has very good acting skills. It stands to reason that if she guides Maggie Cheung with all her heart, she may not be able to enlighten the other party.

But for Zhong Chuhong, it is no problem to let her act, but it is a bit too embarrassing for her to teach others to act.

"I don't know how to teach others to act at all. If you hadn't taught me how to act these years, my acting skills would never have improved so fast."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know how to refute Zhong Chuhong's statement, because what she said was the truth.

But the problem is that I don't have any movies to make at all, and those movies that are going to be made have never been reserved or considered to find Maggie Cheung to act in them.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for me to teach her how to act? Is it possible to let myself put down the work at hand or take my own private time to teach her to act?
Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Zhong Chuhong quickly explained to him.

"Wen Jun and Wang Jing are about to make a film "Chasing Girls in Hardcover" recently, and it happens that the heroine of this film is entrusted to Ayu to act. You can just take this opportunity to teach her how to act."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know that Wen Jun and the others had hired Maggie Cheung to play "Chasing Girls in Hardcover", and he only knew about it from Zhong Chuhong.

Unexpectedly, like the previous life, they found Maggie Cheung to play the heroine again, and Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to say.

"Just help Ayu, she has made a lot of movies over the years, but she hasn't made much progress, but Ayu has really worked hard, but her efforts have no effect..."

"I don't have many good friends, and Ayu is one, so you can help her."

Zhong Chuhong pulled Lin Daoqiu's arm and shook it. It was really rare to see Zhong Chuhong acting like a baby in front of her.

Regarding Zhong Chuhong's request, it's not that Lin Daoqiu didn't want to agree, it's just that the person who helped Maggie Cheung open his mind was Wang Jiawei, and he couldn't steal his job.

But Zhong Chuhong's request cannot be ignored, because if she does not agree to her request, God knows what inhuman treatment she will suffer.

After thinking for a while, Lin Daoqiu suddenly came up with a bold idea.

"I know about this, don't worry."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say what he was going to do, but Zhong Chuhong mistakenly thought that Lin Daoqiu had promised to teach Maggie Cheung how to act.

"I know you're the best."

After taking a sip on Lin Daoqiu's face, Zhong Chuhong went to prepare a loving dinner for him contentedly.

The next day, Lin Daoqiu called Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei to New Oriental with one phone call.

At this time, the two of them were worrying about the casting of "Haunted Police Station".

"Has the heroine of "Haunted Police Station" been settled yet?"

After the two sat down, Lin Daoqiu asked directly.

Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei quickly shook their heads, because so far they couldn't think of a good heroine candidate.

After all, their budget is limited, and besides the heroine, they also need to hire some supporting actors. If they spend too much on the heroine's remuneration, the quality of other supporting actors will inevitably decrease.

If even the supporting roles are not well-known celebrities, then "Haunted Police Station" doesn't know what to use to attract the audience to watch.

"Let me recommend a heroine to you, Maggie Cheung from New Art City. Although she has made a lot of movies, her salary is not high, and she is very malleable."

"Maggie Cheung?"

Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei never thought of looking for Maggie Cheung from the beginning to the end, but they still knew Maggie Cheung.

And as far as they know, Maggie Cheung's acting skills are not very good, and she used to play some vase roles.

But aside from these, Lin Daoqiu's recommendation alone made it impossible for them to refuse.

"I think Maggie Cheung is a very good candidate. She is young and beautiful and has made many movies. She is well-known. I think it is very suitable for her to play "Haunted Police Station"."

Liu Zhenwei thought for only a few seconds, and immediately agreed.

Wang Jiawei next to him glanced at Liu Zhenwei, but he didn't say anything, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Ayu has always been criticized for her poor acting skills, so this time I hope you can teach her how to act, especially you."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wang Jiawei and said.

Wang Jiawei was puzzled by Lin Daoqiu, but he still nodded.

After all, he is the director and screenwriter of this play, and teaching actors to act is also a matter of course, so Wong Kar Wai agreed without much hesitation.
