Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"How did you come?"

Seeing Shi Nansheng come to the set, Tsui Hark was a little surprised. Normally, she would not come to the set. Unless there was something special, Shi Nansheng would stay in the office to work.

"Everyone, take a break for now. Director Xu and I have something to discuss."

Shi Nansheng didn't say anything, just asked everyone to rest first, and she pulled Xu aside.

Tsui Hark thought something had happened, so he asked hurriedly.

"Did something happen?"

Shi Nansheng shook his head, and Tsui Hark breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. If the other party shook his head, it meant nothing happened.

But since nothing happened, why would Shi Nansheng suddenly come over?
"Have you found that your mood has been very problematic lately?"

"Is there something wrong with my emotions? No?"

Tsui Hark looked at Shi Nansheng with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand what the other party meant.

"If that wasn't the case, why would anyone call me and say, you've been too impatient lately? Didn't you find that you get angry easily when filming recently? And your patience is much lower than before. Everyone has been very nervous these days. Yes, if this continues, do you still want to film this movie?"

After Shi Nansheng said this, Tsui Hark finally understood why Shi Nansheng came suddenly.

"Maybe it's not going well recently. It's okay. I will adjust it. Don't worry."

Shi Nansheng didn't believe even a word of Tsui Hark's words. She knew very well why Tsui Hark was suddenly so anxious. In fact, the reason was very simple, that is, he was excluded from the crew of "The Swordsman" and the reason was attributed to him cheating. Lin Daoqiu.

Although Tsui Hark and the others asked Brigitte Lin and Zhong Chuhong to help intercede, Lin Daoqiu also knew these things, and judging from his attitude, it may not be easy for Tsui Hark to resolve this trouble easily this time, because they simply I don't know how angry Lin Daoqiu was.

"It's useless for you to vent your anger on them now. If you still can't control your emotions, as the producer of this drama, I suggest you leave the director's job to others and take a good rest first. , what do you think about participating in the filming work after you get over this period?"

Shi Nansheng rarely directly interferes with Tsui Hark's filming work, because she is mostly responsible for publicity and the allocation of filming funds. She is not very likely to interfere in how the film is shot.

But this time Tsui Hark's mood has obviously affected the filming of the movie, so Shi Nansheng had to take action.

"Even if you ask me to go home now, I can't stay. Forget it, let them film first. I'll watch from the side."

Tsui Hark himself has realized that he is not suitable to continue to participate in the filming work now, but at this time, he can't calm down even if he goes home to rest, so he can only temporarily hand over the filming work to his deputy, and he has never been able to calm down. Assistance.

Seeing Tsui Hark's helpless expression, Shi Nansheng felt very distressed, but she couldn't think of any solution to the problem now, because Lin Daoqiu was the key to solving the problem, but there was almost no possibility of convincing Lin Daoqiu. Shi Nansheng She knew Lin Daoqiu somewhat, and she could clearly feel that Lin Daoqiu's temper was much stronger than before.

This time Tsui Hark deceived him, and cheated him twice in a row. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to stay in Hong Kong, but Lin Daoqiu did not drive Tsui Hark out of Hong Kong, he just refused to let him participate in "The Swordsman" shooting, this can be regarded as extrajudicial mercy.

If you want Lin Daoqiu to completely forgive Tsui Hark, it will take some time. …………

"Miss Shi, do you have anything to do with us?"

Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai were busy writing the script of "The Swordsman" recently, and suddenly received a call from Shi Nansheng asking them to have tea. Although Liu Zhenwei and the others did not understand why Shi Nansheng wanted to invite them to tea, they still readily agreed.

"I heard that the two of you are currently in charge of the script of "The Swordsman". Is this true?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Nansheng invited them out for tea because of the script of "The Swordsman". Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai first looked at each other and then answered.

"Ms. Shi is right. Mr. Lin did give us the script to fill in."

Shi Nansheng had already inquired about it before coming.

Although I don't know why Lin Daoqiu asked them to write the script of "The Swordsman", but in Shi Nansheng's opinion, if Tsui Hark wants to avert danger this time, he must start with the drama "The Swordsman" .

Before coming, Shi Nansheng had gone through the conversation between him and Lin Daoqiu carefully from Tsui Hark's mouth to make sure that nothing was missed, so Shi Nansheng came up with a brilliant idea.

What Lin Daoqiu said at the time was that Tsui Hark would not be allowed to participate in the filming of "The Swordsman", but writing scripts was not included in the filming work, so Tsui Hark could participate in the script writing of "The Swordsman". She today The purpose of recruiting Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai is very simple, that is, to let Tsui Hark write the script of "The Swordsman".

"It's like this. The first two films of "The Swordsman" were both filmed by Lao Xu. Originally, Lao Xu planned to participate in the filming of this film, but he didn't have enough time, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so this Can the work of filling in the script be left to Lao Xu?"

Shi Nansheng bet that Lin Daoqiu would not spread the news that he was angry with Xu Ke. After all, it was not a glorious thing, and Lin Daoqiu was not the kind of big talker.

Sure enough, when Shi Nansheng said this, Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai first showed surprised expressions on their faces, and then they looked a little embarrassed.

"But Mr. Lin gave us the script to revise. Wouldn't it be bad if we handed over the work to Director Xu?"

"What's wrong? I believe Mr. Lin's purpose is very simple, that is to get a revised script. It doesn't matter who changed it. It just so happens that Xu has filmed two "Swordsman" before. , he has some experience in this area, and you don’t need to put his name on it when you give him the script to revise, he just wants to put in his best efforts.”

Shi Nansheng's words are very attractive. Without a signature, it means that Tsui Hark is doing this favor in vain, so it does not count the favor they owe Tsui Hark. It should even be the other way around. This time, Tsui Hark owes them a favor. yes.

"I hope they will help us this time, even if they help Lao Xu realize his dream, otherwise he will definitely have a regret in his life because of this."

Shi Nansheng said this. If Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai don't agree, it will not only be a bit unkind, but also if they have a grudge with Tsui Hark because of this matter, it may not be a good thing for their future development in Hong Kong.

"Since Miss Shi has said so, we have no choice but to help Director Xu this time."

When Shi Nansheng heard that the other party agreed, he quickly thanked him.

"Thank you both...Thank you both." (End of chapter)
