Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3197 Lao Xu’s Conceit

Shi Nansheng found it difficult to understand Tsui Hark's approach. She felt that since Lin Daoqiu finally came to her door, she would naturally find a way to seize this opportunity.

Although Tsui Hark was temporarily entrusted with important tasks in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" last time, the final effect was not recognized by Lin Daoqiu. The reason was largely because Tsui Hark wanted to dominate the entire movie, but unfortunately However, Lin Daoqiu did not give it to him, so in the end Tsui Hark was not able to film "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" according to his own ideas.

The purpose of Lin Daoqiu's sudden call to Tsui Hark this time Tsui Hark knew very well. This was not a good opportunity. It was just that Lin Daoqiu wanted to find a movie for Brigitte Lin Qingxia to shoot. Otherwise, he would not ask for it. Script, couldn't Lin Daoqiu write the script himself?This is obviously impossible.

Since this is not a good opportunity, Tsui Hark naturally doesn't want to seize it. Whoever wants to take pictures can do it. He doesn't want to waste this time anyway.

After telling Shi Nansheng what he was thinking, Xu Ke originally thought that Shi Nansheng would understand his actions and agree with him, but what he didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, the expression on Shi Nansheng's face became more serious. It seemed that she Even more dissatisfied than before.

"How far is the relationship between you and Mr. Lin compared with Wenjun, Zheng Danrui and others? You usually don't look for opportunities to build a good relationship with Mr. Lin. Now you have turned down such a good opportunity. You still feel that you have done something wrong. Already? Lao Xu, many times you don’t have to do big things to build a relationship with the other person. Sometimes, as long as you help, the effect is actually the same. Mr. Lin doesn’t look for others but looks for you. This is for you. Approval, believe it or not, when Mr. Lin went out and shouted, I don’t know how many people rushed to help him film."

Tsui Hark didn't think Shi Nansheng's words were wrong, but he felt that instead of spending time on these small-budget productions, it would be better to show off his skills in front of Lin Daoqiu and make a special effects blockbuster to completely impress him and make Lin Daoqiu look at him differently. .

No matter how many of these low-cost and small-production movies are made, they will not get Lin Daoqiu's attention. In this case, why waste time.

"Of course I can't compare with Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, so I have to find another way to let Lin Daoqiu know my abilities. And I feel that I have done nothing wrong. Previously, Mr. Lin in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" came to me instead of looking for others. This time Isn’t it recognition of my ability, so it’s only right for me to reject him this time.”

Shi Nansheng felt that Tsui Hark seemed to have fallen into a strange logic. He thought that as long as he had the ability, he would not have to worry about Lin Daoqiu not looking for him to film in the future. This is simply ridiculous.

"Do you think you are the only one in Hong Kong who can make special effects movies, and you are the only one who can make good special effects movies? Is that right?"

Tsui Hark didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he seemed to agree with Shi Nansheng's statement. After all, in Tsui Hark's opinion, there were only a handful of people who could compare with him in terms of special effects alone, not to mention other genres. Basically, it can be said that there is no one except Lin Daoqiu, so if Lin Daoqiu didn't look for him for the special effects movie, who else could he look for?

Seeing Tsui Hark's appearance, Shi Nansheng was almost furious. She felt that Tsui Hark was too self-respecting and this was not a good sign.

Although Tsui Hark will definitely have stable output after he founded Tsui Hark Studio, and the box office results of the movie are pretty good, but that is only temporary. After all, even if there are not many people who can make special effects movies now, it does not mean that there will always be in the future. It will be like this. "Old Xu, don't be so naive, okay? The world doesn't always stand still. Have you ever thought that if one day you can make a special effects movie without special effects, what advantage would you have?"

"Can you make a special effects movie without any special effects? What are you talking nonsense? Do you know how difficult the technology of special effects movies is? I have been studying at Magic Studio for so long and I can't say that I have learned it, let alone others. Wong Jing? Wen Jun? Cheng Tanrui? Or Teddy Robin and Huang Baiming? It’s not that I underestimate them. It is impossible for these people to devote themselves to learning how to make special effects movies. They all like to make quick money, so I have nothing So worried.”

Tsui Hark still looked like an old god. Even though Shi Nansheng tried to persuade him several times, he refused to listen, and finally gave up.

But one thing Tsui Hark said is right, and what Shi Nansheng also agrees with is that those around Lin Daoqiu and those in the seven-person team are not at all interested in learning and specializing in special effects movies. If this were not the case, Tsui Hark would not be indifferent.

On the other side, Lin Daoqiu didn't think much after hanging up the phone. Tsui Hark was filming his own movie, and even with the book in his hand, it would be difficult for him to discern it, but this time Lin Daoqiu didn't think about it. Asking Tsui Hark to bring out an amazing notebook, just as Tsui Hark guessed, Lin Daoqiu just wanted to find something for Brigitte Lin Qingxia to do, as long as the notebook was not too bad.

However, Tsui Hark politely rejected Lin Daoqiu's olive branch, which somewhat surprised Lin Daoqiu.

However, finding someone to shoot a movie in Hong Kong is as easy for Lin Daoqiu as going out to eat. Since Tsui Hark doesn't want to film, it's no problem for him to find someone else, but it's not easy to find a suitable candidate after much thought. An easy thing.

Don't even think about Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, who have a better relationship with him. It is obviously impossible to expect them to come up with any good scripts. As for Wang Jing, they are only a little better than Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. The remaining Xinyi Apart from Tsui Hark, there are only three people in the seven-member team in the city: Eric Tsang, Teddy Robin, and Huang Baiming, but they are obviously not Lin Daoqiu's preferred candidates.

As for Sylvia Chang who is now in charge of New Oriental's film company in Baodao, Lin Daoqiu never considered Sylvia Chang from the beginning. It's not that she is not capable, but that the types of movies that Sylvia Chang likes to make are all literary and artistic films. This is Lin Daoqiu. I don’t want Lin Qingxia to touch it now. After all, she has been making literary films for N years, and now she has finally succeeded in transitioning. If she is asked to go back to film, Lin Daoqiu will not agree unless it is a very good script.

After much deliberation, Lin Daoqiu couldn't find a good candidate for a while. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something. This was a movie that Li Maowen had mentioned to him not long ago. One of the plays in the film is "The Ghost Story" directed by Liu Zhenwei.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think about ordering Liu Zhenwei's generals, but the mention of "The Ghost Mission" made Lin Daoqiu think of those two guys.
