Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Tsui Hark will not participate in the filming of the third part of "The Swordsman". This is something Lin Daoqiu has already decided.

However, Lin Daoqiu decided to let Cheng Xiaodong, the former martial arts director of "The Swordsman", continue to be the martial arts director of this drama. After all, the fight scenes designed by Cheng Xiaodong are still very good. As long as the plot is okay, there is no need to worry about the fight scenes. .

According to Lin Daoqiu's previous idea, the plot of the third part of "The Swordsman" is still adapted from the novel "The Swordsman".

In the study, Lin Daoqiu began to write the plot of the third part of "Swordsman".

After obtaining the position of leader, Ren Woxing restarted his career in Heimu Cliff. However, his temperament changed drastically due to his going crazy during his practice, and he started killing. Ren Yingying was injured because she opposed Ren Woxing, and was forced to escape from Heimu Cliff. Mu Ya, after going down the mountain, met some decent people, and then he was kidnapped by those people and taken to the Shaolin Temple.

Linghu Chong immediately returned to the world after learning the news. As a result, he suddenly and inexplicably met Dongfang Bubai on the way to the Shaolin Temple. However, he later discovered that these people were fake and there was a major conspiracy behind them.

Until by chance, he found Dongfang Bubai, who had fallen off a cliff and survived. After rescuing Ren Yingying from Shaolin Temple, he teamed up with Dongfang Bubai to defeat Ren Woxing, and then together they uncovered the secret behind the fake Dongfang Bubai. Black hands.

When Lin Daoqiu finished writing the general plot and it was getting brighter, he put down his pen and went back to the bedroom to rest.

Lin Daoqiu came to New Oriental in the afternoon. Before he came, he had sent Fang Jinsheng to find Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, because he had told these two people before that they would be the director and screenwriter of the drama "The Swordsman".

Of course, Lin Daoqiu didn't want to let them be responsible for the entire drama. After all, these two guys are still under Lin Daoqiu's observation period, so naturally they cannot be entrusted with important tasks immediately.

"Mr. Lin..."

After being brought into the office by Fang Jinsheng, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei sat down opposite Lin Daoqiu.

"This is the script of "The Swordsman". It only has a general plot. You will be responsible for filling in the details. It should be okay, right?"

After Lin Daoqiu handed the script to Liu Zhenwei, the other party immediately took it over.

If Lin Daoqiu asked them to write the script of "The Swordsman", then Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai would definitely be in a lot of pain, because we all know how high Lin Daoqiu's requirements for scripts are. If his script can pass Lin Daoqiu's test quickly, it will be very painful. It may take a few weeks, or even a few months if not, and Wong Kar-wai is one of the victims.

But fortunately, this time Lin Daoqiu asked them to fill in the details instead of asking them to create a script, so this is naturally a good thing for Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai.

"Mr. Lin, let's take the script back and read it slowly. When do you plan to start filming this drama?"

This is very important to Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai. After all, it means how much time they have to write the script, whether they have to rush to write it or whether they can take their time.

"I plan to release this drama during the Spring Festival."

"Ah..." After Lin Daoqiu said this, Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai made surprised sounds almost at the same time.

"The Swordsman" will be released during the Spring Festival. You must know that there are less than a few months left before the Spring Festival, which means that they have to write the script as soon as possible and hand it over to Lin Daoqiu.

"Don't worry, you can make changes while filming. Anyway, I have already prepared to go to Treasure Island to shoot this movie. You can leave for Treasure Island a week after "The Ghost Story" is released. After all, you have to go to Treasure Island first. Get familiar with the situation over there.”

Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai least wanted to hear the word Treasure Island, but Lin Daoqiu said so, which meant that they had to go to Treasure Island this time.

"Mr. Lin, the box office of "The Ghost Story" hasn't been released yet. Look..."

Liu Zhenwei still wants to struggle a little more. If the box office of "The Bad Man" really exceeds 500 million by then, then they won't have to be sent to the treasure island.

"Didn't I tell you? Wait until one week after "The Haunted Mansion" is released before you leave. The box office in the first week can basically judge how much box office a movie can get in the end. Although there is a possibility of a reverse decline, but this happens The number and probability of this possibility are not many, so in short, hurry up and change the script."

"I know Mr. Lin, if there's nothing wrong, we'll go back and revise the script."

Wong Kar-wai seems to not want to let Liu Zhenwei continue talking, because he feels that there is no point in talking anymore, because it is unlikely that Lin Daoqiu will make changes to what he has decided. In this case, it is better to save some energy to complete the "Swordsman" Once the script is written, maybe Lin Daoqiu will pardon them when he is happy.

After leaving New Oriental, Liu Zhenwei seemed a little depressed. It seemed that he had determined that Lin Daoqiu's decision this time was to send them directly to Treasure Island.

"There is no need to be so pessimistic. Since Mr. Lin allowed us to participate in the filming of "The Swordsman", it means that he has not completely given up on us, so we still have a chance to turn around this time. As long as we seize this opportunity, all difficulties will be solved. "

"You are quite optimistic, but I am not optimistic at all. There is a high probability that the box office of "The Ghost Story" will not exceed 500 million. Maybe "The Swordsman" will be our last movie in Hong Kong. It’s a movie, hey…”

When Wong Kar-wai saw Liu Zhenwei sighing, he didn't know how to persuade him, because at this time Wong Kar-wai was also the one who needed comfort.

"Who knows, Mr. Lin doesn't dare to say for sure that the box office of "Swordsman" will really not reach the box office. In this case, we should give ourselves confidence, let's go back to write the script, as long as "The Swordsman" If the script is well written, it may not be a chance for us."

Liu Zhenwei nodded and led you. This is the only way things have come to this point. After all, this is their last life-saving straw and they must hold on tightly.

While Lau Chun Wai and Wong Kar Wai were busy filling in the details for "The Swordsman", Tsui Hark became increasingly irritable and restless. A mistake by an actor on the set might cause him to become furious.

No one on the crew knew that Tsui Hark's temper had suddenly become so bad recently. They had no choice but to go to Shi Nansheng and tell him about the situation. After all, Tsui Hark's mood had seriously affected his filming. If things continued like this, the filming would be over. What comes out will definitely not be much better, and Tsui Hark must be turned back into a normal person as soon as possible. (End of chapter)
