Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3202: Draft out of nowhere
Tsui Hark wanted to build a relationship with Brigitte Lin, so he took the initiative to talk about interesting things when they were filming "The Swordsman". Shi Nansheng also helped, and Brigitte Lin was quickly brought back to the memories of the original filming.

"Speaking of which, I haven't heard any news about the third part until now. I don't know what Director Xu has planned. Many fans are saying that you are already planning the third part. They mentioned this to me through various methods and channels. Things, I don’t know how to answer them.”

When Brigitte Lin came to Tsui Hark this time, she had no intention of asking him to film the third part of "The Swordsman". She just suddenly remembered this incident while chatting about the past, and then she casually said something to Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark originally had no intention of filming the third part, but after Brigitte Lin said this, Tsui Hark suddenly felt that this might be a good idea. Although he has never thought about how to write the plot of the third part, since Brigitte Lin With that said, the filming of the third part will naturally be put on the agenda.

"Actually, to be honest with Ms. Lin, I have been thinking about the third part of "The Swordsman" for a long time but have never been able to finalize it. After all, the first two parts of this drama were very successful, so even if the third part cannot surpass the previous two parts, , but at least it can’t be too inferior. I’m very distressed about this.”

Tsui Hark's movies are good and his acting skills are also very good. His words directly deceived Brigitte Lin, making her think that he had really been thinking about the script of "The Swordsman".

And Brigitte Lin did not say that she must film "The Swordsman", she just asked casually when the matter happened to be mentioned. If Tsui Hark has an idea, of course it would be best. She is also free and scheduled now, so it would be okay to work together again. Fulfill some fans' long-awaited expectations.

And Brigitte Lin also has some feelings for this movie. After all, the role of Dongfang Invincible is a very special role that she has played since the movie, and it has been recognized by many people, so she naturally hopes that if there is a third movie, she will I am willing to play the role of Dongfang Invincible again.

Shi Nansheng next to him naturally knew that Tsui Hark had not written the script of "The Swordsman" at all, because the other party had never even mentioned this matter before. At this time, he lied in front of Brigitte Lin and said it without blushing or heartbeat. It was really difficult for him, and Shi Nansheng had to help him lie and deceive Brigitte Lin.

Brigitte Lin suddenly seemed to have thought of something, she smiled and said to Tsui Hark.

"If Director Xu is interested in filming, you might as well ask him what he means. Maybe he can give you some advice or something."

What Brigitte Lin was talking about was naturally referring to Lin Daoqiu. Brigitte Lin felt that since Tsui Hark couldn't think of any good ideas, he might as well ask Lin Daoqiu. After all, writing scripts was that guy's specialty, let alone finding one in the world. There is no one who surpasses him, even close to his level.

After Tsui Hark heard what Brigitte Lin said, he was about to refuse, but in the next second, Brigitte Lin started to call Lin Daoqiu.

Tsui Hark didn't even have time to stop it, Brigitte Lin's phone call had already been broadcast.

"Mr. Lin is so busy, so it's better not to disturb him. We can just figure out the script ourselves."

Tsui Hark was so anxious. He could deceive Brigitte Lin about the script, but he couldn't deceive Lin Daoqiu. If Lin Daoqiu asked him casually later, he might be exposed soon.

Although this is not a big deal, if Brigitte Lin finds out that she has deceived her, even if the matter is not serious, she may have some not-so-good thoughts in her heart. This is obviously not what Tsui Hark wants to see.

But it's a pity that Brigitte Lin didn't give him a chance to refuse.

"It's okay, he's not busy now, I'll tell him."

Lin Qingxia just finished speaking and the phone was connected.

"I'm having dinner with Director Xu Nansen and others."

Brigitte Lin directly told Lin Daoqiu that she was with Tsui Hark and the others. Lin Daoqiu was not surprised. After all, he was the one who asked Brigitte Lin to talk to Tsui Hark.

"How was it? How was the chat?"

"Director Xu plans to make the third part of "The Swordsman", but he seems to have run into some trouble with the plot. Please talk to him."

After Brigitte Lin finished speaking, she directly handed the phone to Tsui Hark.

"Director Xu..."

Tsui Hark quickly answered the phone and then cautiously said hello to Lin Daoqiu. "Good evening Mr. Lin."

"Director Xu plans to make the third part of "The Swordsman"? Why haven't I heard you talk about this before?"

Lin Daoqiu felt it was a bit strange. If Tsui Hark was going to film the third part of "The Swordsman", he would definitely tell him in advance. After all, the investment in this film would definitely not be small, and even if he didn't tell him, Li Maowen He should have informed him, but he had never heard of Tsui Hark's plan to make a third film before.

Sweat broke out on Tsui Hark's forehead, but he could only continue to pretend, and he must not let Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin find out that he was lying.

"Actually, Mr. Lin, I am still writing the script, but I have never been able to write a script that satisfies me. I plan to wait until I write a satisfactory script before talking to you about the sequel. I happened to have dinner with Ms. Lin today. , mentioned the previous filming of "The Swordsman", which just brought up this topic."

Tsui Hark came up with an excuse in a very short time. He neither denied that he wanted to shoot the third film, nor did he say that filming would start in the near future. As for when he would be able to write a script that satisfies him, this I'm afraid only Tsui Hark himself knows.

But when Tsui Hark said this, Lin Daoqiu suddenly felt strange.

Because when Tsui Hark made the third part of "The Swordsman", it was just to set the record straight. After "The Swordsman: The Invincible" became a hit at the box office, there were many movies that followed suit, and they all specially found Brigitte Lin. Go and do the same type of roles.

In order to prevent those people from squeezing out the classic image created by Brigitte Lin on the screen, Tsui Hark could only quickly make a movie "The Invincibles of the East".

The plot of this drama can be said to be a complete mess, far inferior to the previous two films, and its reputation is surprisingly bad. Because of this, this drama has become the swan song of the sequel to The Swordsman.

It is obviously impossible to say that Tsui Hark really paid attention to "The Rise of the East". Based on Lin Daoqiu's understanding of Tsui Hark, if he had the intention to make a movie, he would have already started investing in it. How could it be that no news has been spread until now?

"Can you briefly introduce the script to me? Maybe I can help you with some ideas."

"Ah... the play... the script. I left the script at home and couldn't remember it for a while. If Mr. Lin wants to know, I will fax a copy of the script to you for review when I get back."

If Lin Daoqiu asked him to go back and write it, Tsui Hark would definitely be able to write something if he went back to work overtime tonight, but the quality is definitely not that good.

"In that case, fax me the script tomorrow and I will give you my opinion after reading it."

"Uh...Okay Mr. Lin, I understand."

Tsui Hark didn't dare to refuse. He could only decide to find someone to work overtime to write the script when he went back later. I'm afraid he himself would have to work together.

No matter what, the script handed over to Lin Daoqiu tomorrow must at least have some quality. Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu will immediately see that the script was improvised by him to perfunctory him. If that is really the case, then Tsui Hark feels that he I'm afraid a disaster is coming. After all, deceiving Lin Daoqiu will not end well, and it also involves Brigitte Lin, which is even more troublesome.

"I'll say it's fine."

Brigitte Lin didn't know the panic in Tsui Hark's heart at this time. She thought she had done Tsui Hark a big favor.

"Thank you, Miss Lin. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to say this to Mr. Lin. You have done me a big favor, haha..."

Tsui Hark smiled very reluctantly, and Shi Nansheng next to him could tell at a glance, but at this time she could only help Tsui Hark to cover up his lies.

After finishing the meal, Brigitte Lin left with satisfaction, but Tsui Hark had a solemn expression after getting in the car.

"I'm not going home. Let's go back to the studio first. I have to work overtime tonight to write a manuscript."
