Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3206: Not important
Tsui Hark's shock came from the fact that just now Lin Daoqiu clearly said that "The Ghost Story" had a mediocre reputation. He was not optimistic that the film would reach 500 million. If the box office did not reach the level that they and Lin Daoqiu had originally For the fifteen million agreed in the bet, these two guys will be sent to the treasure island.

But now Lin Daoqiu actually said that he wants them to participate in the filming of the sequel to "The Swordsman". What does this mean?
Tsui Hark didn't have any dissatisfaction or prejudice against Liu Chunwei and Wong Kar-Wai. He just found it strange. Could it be that the filming of "The Swordsman" will go to the treasure island?
If you think about it this way, it's very possible. Xiangjiang is too small. If it were filmed here, there wouldn't be many scenes that could be used. It would easily turn into a TVB martial arts drama, so it was natural to change the location.

Now they can't go to mainland China due to certain circumstances, so they can only go to other places for filming.

If Lin Daoqiu plans to shoot the sequel to "The Swordsman" on a treasure island, then it would make sense to ask Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai for help.

But Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai were completely confused. Originally, Lin Daoqiu's previous words almost made them fall into despair, but the following words seemed to pull them back from the edge of the cliff.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, we..."

Liu Zhenwei looked at Lin Daoqiu blankly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What's wrong? Don't you have time to help with this?"

Lin Daoqiu asked with a smile.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei shook their heads violently almost at the same time. If they dared to refuse Lin Daoqiu's words at this time, they probably thought that they were not dead enough.

"No, no, we have time, we have a lot of time."

"Okay, if that's the case, from now on you will officially join the preparations for the third part of "The Swordsman" and be responsible for the work of the director and screenwriter. After I finish writing the script, you will be responsible for revising the script. No problem. Bar?"

"No problem, no problem. Don't worry, Mr. Lin. We will handle the things you told us properly and we will never let you down."

Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai quickly replied that being able to participate in the filming of the third part of "The Swordsman" at this time is undoubtedly a symbol of Lin Daoqiu's trust. Even if the box office results don't reach the amount set in the previous bet with Lin Daoqiu, they probably won't be sent to the treasure island.

Therefore, Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai's mood naturally improved immediately, and they both looked at Lin Daoqiu with grateful faces.

"This drama will be filmed in Baodao. The mainland cannot go there for the time being. I believe everyone should know the reason. However, I believe that with Director Liu and Director Wang here, the filming work in Baodao will be very smooth. If everything goes well, then the matter is settled.”

Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, who were originally happy to be able to join the filming of the third part of "The Swordsman", heard that Lin Daoqiu asked them to join the filming of this drama because "The Swordsman" will be in the treasure island at that time. When we went to shoot the scene, the previous joy and excitement disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a look of shock.Tsui Hark wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud. Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai were really unlucky. Lin Daoqiu had already determined that "The Haunted Man" would be a hit when the time comes. In this case, their fate is to be dismissed. Go to Treasure Island.

Because the third part of "The Swordsman" was going to be filmed on the treasure island, Lin Daoqiu added them in. It turned out that these two guys thought that Lin Daoqiu had a special regard for them, so he added them to the filming of "The Swordsman" , and judging from the expressions on their faces, these two guys obviously understood and were very frustrated.

"Mr. Lin, we..."

"What's wrong? Didn't you agree just now?"

"........."

When Lin Daoqiu asked Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, they were speechless. They thought they were getting a chance just now, but they never thought that Lin Daoqiu asked them to be responsible for the production of "The Swordsman" in Baodao after they were sent to Baodao. Regarding the framing, if they had known that this was the case, they would definitely not have agreed so simply and still been so happy.

"That's good. You two should go back and rest first. The promotion work of "The Ghost Story" is coming to an end. I believe you know how much the outcome of this drama will affect you. Come on."

Although Lin Daoqiu was cheering them on, Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai were not happy at all, because from the current point of view, the reputation of "The Ghost Story" is very average. Under the premise of average reputation, this drama must be able to The possibility of a big hit is not high. Although the reputation of professional filmmakers is not necessarily correct, the problem is that Lin Daoqiu's statement is included in it. This is obviously very different from those of half-hearted filmmakers. There is a difference.

But the good thing is that Lin Daoqiu has not watched "The Ghost Story", so his evaluations are based on those who have watched it. Maybe those people misled Mr. Lin and made him mistakenly believe that The filming of "The Ghost Story" was very average.

Both Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai are using this reason to comfort themselves. Although they also know that the probability of this possibility is low, what can they do if they don't think so now? They can't really think that this time It’s completely finished, and there’s no chance of a comeback, right?If that's the case, then they simply won't attend the rest of the promotional work, and will just wait for "The Ghost Story" to be released, and then announce the final results.

"What should we do now? Mr. Lin doesn't seem to be optimistic about us."

Liu Zhenwei was very depressed, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed reasonable. If Lin Daoqiu was optimistic about them, how could he make such an arrangement? Maybe this time they would not be able to join the "Swordsman" episode. The filming work of the third film will be replaced by others.

"It's good to be good. It's not like you didn't hear what those people said after the preview. Mr. Lin should have listened to those people, so he made the current judgment. So there is only one thing we can do now. If you want to do something, then finish the rest of the publicity work and then let fate take its course. Anyway, the matter is not at the end yet. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should continue to work hard, what do you think?"

It seemed that Wong Kar Wai was not ready to give up yet, as if he was infected by the other party. Liu Zhenwei also nodded quickly. At this point, it was useless to sigh. In this case, it is better to work harder, maybe there is a possibility of a miracle.
