Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3196: Old Monster Xu has changed?
"I know you don't want me to go to Neon for fear that I will affect you, right?"

Lin Qingxia felt that Lin Daoqiu must have a woman accompanying him in Neon, so she was unwilling to let her go. This must be the case.

"What influence can you have on me? Actually, what I mean is very simple. If I remember correctly, you shouldn't have done much filming this year, right?"

"So what? I don't rely on filming for a living now. You said it. I can film whatever I want. If I don't want to, I won't. Have you forgotten?"

Brigitte Lin is neither short of money nor famous now. Even if she completely stops acting now, she doesn't have to worry about her future life at all. However, she has no plans to give up her career as an actress yet, but filming is no longer a necessary job for her. It's something you can do as you please.

After hearing Lin Qingxia's answer, Lin Daoqiu suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"You seem to have misunderstood me."

"I misunderstood you? What do you mean?"

Lin Qingxia didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu meant. Where did she misunderstand what he meant?
"The reason why I said this at the beginning was because I didn't want you to be too tired and busy, but it doesn't mean that you should give up your career as an actor completely. You are only 35 years old this year, and you are still very young. If you don't take advantage of this time to act more As for acting, when you get older, even if you want to act, you won’t have the opportunity. This has nothing to do with whether you are short of money and need to work or not.”

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Brigitte Lin became silent this time.

"You have indeed shot a lot of movies in Baodao, but you should know very well what themes and types they are. I don't expect you to be a workaholic, but if you think you are still an actor, then you must be worthy of this title. , after all, an actor has to work for a lifetime, and even if you lose your impression of others, they will still remain in the dramas you acted in. Let’s talk to Tsui Hark and see what plans he has recently.”

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Brigitte Lin still didn't speak. She remained silent like this, but Lin Daoqiu could feel that Lin Qingxia must have been persuaded by him.

"I see."

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Although it could be heard from the phone that she was answering Lin Daoqiu's words with a little temper at this time, at least she should have listened to what Lin Daoqiu said just now, otherwise She won't agree to it.

After hanging up the phone from Brigitte Lin, Lin Daoqiu thought for a while and decided to call Tsui Hark and talk to him.

Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng were chatting in the living room when the phone suddenly rang, so Shi Nansheng went over to answer the phone.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Nansun, I am Lin Daoqiu, is Lao Xu here?"

"Please wait a moment, he is here, I will ask him to answer the phone."

Shi Nansheng was very surprised to receive a call from Lin Daoqiu, because as far as she knew, Lin Daoqiu was in Neon at this time, and she had not contacted Tsui Hark for a long time. Tsui Hark had left after filming "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". I'm busy making my own movie.

Knowing that the call was from Lin Daoqiu, Xu Hark hurried over and took the phone.

Tsui Hark was both looking forward to Lin Daoqiu's phone call and a little scared, because the other party obviously couldn't call him just because there was nothing wrong. It must have some purpose, and it was very likely that he wanted him to become a director.But at this time, Tsui Hark was no longer satisfied with being just an ordinary director. He wanted to control all the rights to the film. However, cooperation with Lin Daoqiu would be limited in many aspects. The script must be shot according to what Lin Daoqiu wrote. , and the final editing rights were not in his own hands. This was the most painful thing for Tsui Hark.

Of course, there are many benefits to cooperating with Lin Daoqiu. For example, there is no upper limit on the budget, and there is no rush for time. As long as you follow the script, you can film whatever you want. And because it is Lin Daoqiu's movie, Magic Studio will also vigorously support.

Tsui Hark has always hoped that Lin Daoqiu would give him a free hand and support him, allowing him to make a large-scale special effects blockbuster with an unlimited budget. Everything in the film would be under his control. If that were the case Then he would wake up laughing in his dreams, but from the current point of view, Tsui Hark did not feel any such signs.

"Qingxia should have a chat with you in the next few days. Do you have any suitable scripts in hand?"

"Ms. Lin? Uh... Mr. Lin is like this. I'm busy filming a gunfight movie recently, and I don't have any good books in hand."

Tsui Hark didn't dare to lie to Lin Daoqiu about this kind of thing. Tsui Hark would not be stupid enough to do such a trick, so he was very honest this time and did not expect Lin Daoqiu to suddenly be merciful and reward him with directing special effects. The opportunity for a blockbuster film, after all, the other party's purpose of coming is very clear, just to find movies for Brigitte Lin Qingxia.

Although Brigitte Lin is the top female star in Asia at this time, according to what Tsui Hark has learned recently, she has not made any movies this year and has been traveling around. Lin Daoqiu suddenly came to her and probably just wanted to find a scene for Brigitte Lin. It would be a warm-up shot to maintain her popularity on the big screen, so that she wouldn't appear in not one Hong Kong movie this year, which would be a bit unreasonable.

But as for the scale of the movie, Tsui Hark figured that as long as it wasn't too bad, there wouldn't be any problem, at least that's what he thought.

"Really not?"

"Well... yes, there are, but those scripts are of average quality."

After hearing what Tsui Hark said, Lin Daoqiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Old Monster Xu would be so honest today. This was a bit different from the Tsui Hark he knew before. If it was the previous Tsui Hark, he would definitely take the opportunity. If he wants to invest in a book, he will definitely go for a special effects blockbuster, but this time Tsui Hark looks very honest, and a little too honest. Is this the old weirdo Xu that he knows?

"Okay, I just made a call to check. Since there is no one, forget it. It's getting late. You should go to bed early."

"Well, goodbye Mr. Lin."

After Tsui Hark hung up the phone, Shi Nansheng, who was next to him, quickly came over.

"Mr. Lin is looking for you to film a movie?"

"Uh... I guess. I heard before that Miss Lin just returned from traveling abroad, and she hasn't filmed any movies in Xiangjiang for almost a year. I guess Mr. Lin wants to ask me to open a movie for Miss Lin."

"Then why did you refuse? Are you stupid?"

After Shi Nansheng finished speaking, he reached out and touched Tsui Hark's forehead. This was Lin Daoqiu who wanted to film with him. Star budget special effects, as long as Tsui Hark opened his mouth, he would definitely be satisfied. Why did Tsui Hark shrink back this time?Is there anything special about the gunfight movie he shot?Can you be so special that you don't fight for the opportunity given by Lin Daoqiu this time?
