Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 319 Changing Wang Jing
Without Lin Daoqiu's reminder this time, I'm afraid Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui would continue fooling around like this.

But in the final analysis, Lin Daoqiu was too anxious. Thinking of them as the two people of later generations, this kind of counterproductive way is actually very bad.

These two people's accumulated experience in making movies is actually far from enough, and Lin Daoqiu himself is a hooker, so they have no way to compare.

Even though they participated in the production of Lin Daoqiu's several film and television dramas, what these two people can learn is still very limited.

So when Lin Daoqiu figured it out, he decided to throw them away to participate in the filming and production of the film. At least a few years cannot escape.

As for Wang Jing, Lin Daoqiu is not too worried, because he is a prodigy himself, and he grew up on Shaw Brothers' studio. With years of experience in script creation, he is actually a semi-professional. .

What Wang Jing lacks now is the opportunity to direct a film, and what Lin Daoqiu wants to provide him is to let Wang Jing be a director once.

But before making Wang Jing the director, Lin Daoqiu had to change Wang Jing's thinking first.

The next day Wang Jing was called to the office by Lin Daoqiu. This time Wang Jing and Lin Daoqiu met in a completely different mood than yesterday.

Yesterday, he came with Wen Jun. At that time, Wang Jing was thinking that the reason why the filming of the first "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Hegemons" could not be made was because Shaw Brothers had issued a ban on New Oriental, so he couldn't find the actors he was looking for.

And he has already rewritten the script, and the actor he wants to invite is not from Shaw Brothers, so I believe there should be no problem.

But what I didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu rejected his script directly, and the rejection was so straightforward that there was no room for change.

In addition, Lin Daoqiu sent Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to "Mr. Zombie" to help but did not mention himself. At that time, Wang Jing was very worried that he would have nothing to do next.

But fortunately, Wang Jing was relieved to hear from Wen Jun that Lin Daoqiu had another appointment for him.

Originally, he was going to consider whether to quit Wen Jun's studio, after all, it would not do him any good to spend it like this.

"Sit casually, don't be so nervous."

After Wang Jing entered the door, there was a very formulaic smile on his face. If he said that he was not nervous, he would be lying, because Wen Jun and Lin Daoqiu had been communicating with each other before, and he was at the side to make supplements.

Today, when I came to see Lin Daoqiu alone, it was inevitable for Wang Jing to feel some pressure. After all, he is not the filmmaker of later generations who puts everything in his eyes.

"I don't know why Mr. Lin is looking for me today?"

Wang Jing really wanted to know how Lin Daoqiu planned to use him when he had another appointment with him?Do you want him to return to his old job and continue to write scripts, or do you have other ideas, such as letting him be a director or something.

But no matter which method of use it is, Wang Jing actually has no choice, because he can't do anything if he doesn't help Lin Daoqiu now.

After all, he has not made any achievements now. If he wants to return to Shaw Brothers, I am afraid that the next days will be very sad, so he can only bite the bullet and stay.

"Actually, I know Ah Jing is a very good screenwriter. Although you have never been a director, judging from the scripts you have written, as long as you are given a few chances, I believe you will become a very successful director."

Wang Jing can be said to be one of the most successful directors of Xiangjiang commercial films in the future.

And the reason why he was so successful was that he only considered one thing, and that was whether he could make money by making this movie.

As for other artistic things, it doesn't matter to him at all.

It even took only seven days for Wang Jing to shoot "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Saber: The Demon Cult Leader" in later generations, which shows how efficient he is.

"Mr. Lin is too generous. Compared with Mr. Lin, I am still far behind."

Wang Jing quickly shook his head, and Lin Daoqiu was far behind him. It took only a year and a half for the other party to swim to Xiangjiang, and he bought a theater chain. He wrote the script for so many years and now he doesn't even have a director. How did it compare?
But Lin Daoqiu didn't come to him because he wanted to hear Wang Jing brag about him, he just didn't want to bury Wang Jing's talent.

After all, as one of the important promoters of Hong Kong's nonsensical comedy films in the future, Wang Jing can be said to be one of the biggest contributors.

"Actually, I brought Ah Jing here today to talk to you about why you can't be a director."

Wang Jing originally thought that Lin Daoqiu had brought him here today to arrange work for him, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to talk about this matter.

Could it be that Lin Daoqiu doesn't intend to make himself a director?Or do you think you are not hot enough?
"Actually, the reason is very simple, that is, the protagonists in the scripts you wrote are all written according to Shaw Brothers actors, such as "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" or "The Demon Hunter". I can see Xie Xian from the plot. Waiting for someone's shadow."

It's not that Wang Jing's writing is wrong. He has been in Shaw Brothers for so many years, and he will definitely be influenced by his ears and eyes, and this influence will be substituted into the movie he wants to shoot.

Wang Jing didn't think about Lin Daoqiu's words at the beginning, but after the other party mentioned it, Wang Jing recalled that the scripts he wrote were indeed tailor-made for Shaw Brothers actors.

"Since you have transferred to New Oriental, you need to expand your thinking, and you should not be limited to Shaw Brothers actors."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wang Jing lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was seriously thinking about what Lin Daoqiu said.

It's not that Lin Daoqiu has any prejudice against Shaw's actors, but the problem now is that Shaw's actors with character in Xiangjiang currently account for more than half. not come out.

If someone else was to act, I'm afraid the effect of the filming would be greatly reduced, not to mention that now Shaw Brothers has issued a ban on New Oriental.

If Wang Jing has been writing the script according to this idea, then Lin Daoqiu will have no way to cooperate with him.

"Actually, the last thing you need to worry about is whether you can be a director. The only thing you have to solve now is to change the way you think before. Don't think about the script from the perspective of Shaw Brothers, but start from a new point of view."

Before coming to see Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing was still a little uneasy, but after chatting with the other party, Wang Jing's uneasy mood eased a little.

But this does not mean that he can breathe a sigh of relief, because what Lin Daoqiu wants him to change is his previous thinking, and let him rethink the direction of writing scripts, and this is not easy to get rid of.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your advice. I will think about it carefully when I go back."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't expect Wang Jing to change immediately, it will take some time, but fortunately Wang Jing doesn't seem to be very resistant to this, which is a good thing for Lin Daoqiu.

As long as Wang Jing can jump out of Shaw Brothers' thinking, I believe his scripts will be more exciting than before.
