Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2312 She is going to take off?
"Do you want to change Maggie Cheung to play "Haunted Police Station"?"

Wen Jun suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu, telling him that he would change Maggie Cheung to play "The Devil's Office", which made Wen Jun not know what to say for a while.

It's not that the film would not be possible without Maggie Cheung, but Wen Jun was curious as to why the roles were suddenly changed at this time?
We must know that it was Huang Baiming's idea that Maggie Cheung appeared in "Chasing Girls in Hardcover", and she was still asked to play the heroine in it. Is there anything wrong with this?
"Brother Qiu, we have already selected Maggie Cheung to play "Chasing Girls in Hardcover", and the script is all tailor-made for her. You suddenly replaced us..."

Wen Jun is not an excuse, he is telling the truth, if Lin Daoqiu wants to replace Maggie Cheung, he has to find a suitable heroine for them.

Originally, Wen Jun didn't have much expectation for Maggie Cheung to play the heroine at the beginning, but he just agreed that her appearance and age were very suitable for the role of Dong Dong.

But now Lin Daoqiu suddenly proposed to replace her, which immediately made Wen Jun quite interested in Maggie Cheung as an actor.

We must know that generally the actors Lin Daoqiu likes, no matter they are male or female, will soon soar into the sky. Could it be that Maggie Cheung is the female star that Lin Daoqiu intends to cultivate in the near future?What's the relationship between her and Lin Daoqiu?
The more he thought about it, the more strange Wen Jun suddenly had an idea to keep Maggie Cheung.

"You mean to insist that Maggie Cheung stay and play "Chasing Girls in Hardcover"?"

Lin Daoqiu on the other end of the phone did not expect Wen Jun to say such a thing. Originally, he thought that Wen Jun would immediately agree after he finished speaking with the other party.

However, Wen Jun has his concerns. Lin Daoqiu is very supportive, and he also hopes that Wen Jun can maintain this idea, but it must be out of the perspective of the movie. If he has other ideas, then Lin Daoqiu is probably not very good. happy.

"If possible, I certainly hope that Maggie Cheung can continue to act in this drama, because the creation of the script is already in progress. If the heroine is to be changed, the creation of the script will have to start all over again."

Hearing what Wen Jun said, Lin Daoqiu hesitated for a while before replying.

"If that's the case, then do it according to your wishes, but you and Liu Zhenwei had better coordinate."

Lin Daoqiu promised to let Maggie Cheung continue to star in "Hardcover Chasing Girls", and then he hung up the phone.

"Why did Brother Qiu suddenly want to replace Maggie Cheung?"

After watching Wen Jun put down the phone, Zheng Danrui looked at Wen Jun curiously and asked.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

There is no difference in the information Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui knew, but luckily he still left Maggie Cheung behind.

Although he didn't know Lin Daoqiu's intentions, Wen Jun had a premonition that Maggie Cheung might be about to soar into the sky.

"Do you think Maggie Cheung went to Mr. Lin and told him that she didn't want to play "Chasing Girls in Hardcover"?"

A guess suddenly popped up in Zheng Danrui's mind. He suspected that Maggie Cheung went to find Lin Daoqiu and told the other party that she didn't want to play "Chasing Girls in Hardcover", that's why Lin Daoqiu made this call to ask for a replacement.

After listening to Zheng Danrui's guess, Wen Jun shook his head directly.

"There shouldn't be such a possibility, because if that's the case, brother Qiu will definitely insist on replacing her, and won't let her stay and act just because of a few words from me."

Zheng Danrui nodded while listening, and he also felt that what Zheng Danrui said was reasonable, but as for the truth of the matter, this is really an intriguing thing.

…………

The filming work of "Haunted Police Station" was faster than that of "Hardcover Chasing Girls", and Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar Wai had already assembled the crew just after the Chinese New Year.

The three lead actors plus a few supporting roles have already been finalized, and the script is being filled in with details.

It is estimated that in a month's time, "Haunted Police Station" will be able to enter the stage of real shooting.

With the end of the Spring Festival file, the four movies released in the Spring Festival file this year have also come to an end.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" topped the crowd with a box office of 8000 million, and deservedly became the champion of this year's Spring Festival.

No.2 was won by "The True Colors of Heroes" with a score of 300 million, and "The True Colors of a Man" ranked No.3 with a score of 500 million.

As for "God of Gamblers 2", which drove high and low, it failed to break through the box office of 3000 million in the end, and was finally stuck at 900 million. This made Wen Jun and Wang Jing feel ashamed.

And there are also many criticisms of "God of Gamblers 2" from the outside world, basically all of which fall on the plot.

This time, Lin Daoqiu's name did not appear on the staff list of "God of Gamblers 2", so everyone naturally threw the blame on the director and screenwriter of this play.

But on the other side of Jiahe, a major event happened.

After several days of hesitation, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang finally made up their minds to cooperate with Sammo Hung and the others and invest in their new Hollywood film.

Being invited to Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao seems to be in a good mood, because what they have been thinking about is finally coming true.

"San Mao, A Biao, please sit down."

After entering Zou Wenhuai's office, Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to shake hands with the two, and then invited them to sit on the sofa next to them.

"Mr. Zou, I am very grateful to Golden Harvest for being willing to invest in our new Hollywood film this time. I am really grateful."

If it was a film made in Xiangjiang, even if Lin Daoqiu didn't pay, Sammo Hung and the others could easily find someone to invest in their new film.

But if it is a movie to be released in Hollywood, almost none of them are willing to invest in them.

If it wasn't for Golden Harvest's willingness to help this time, Sammo Hung was really worried that they would have to go to Hollywood and start working slowly from supporting roles.

When they really want to become Hollywood stars like Jackie Chan, they don't know how long it will take to do it.

But now it's all right, with Golden Harvest's help, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are confident that this movie will be a hit in Hollywood and other places.

"Sanmao, you are welcome, everyone is helping each other. After all, we have been working together very happily back then, but there were some problems during the period, but now it is all right, and you are back at Golden Harvest. I believe that as long as everyone works hard together, we will be able to be together again. Hollywood made a world of it."

It seems that Zou Wenhuai is very confident about the future, and He Guanchang next to him looks the same.

After all, for Golden Harvest, if the plan to invest in Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao still fails this time, then they really have to consider closing the company and going to retire.

So the cooperation with Sammo Hung and the others can almost be called Golden Harvest's last fight in the film industry.
