Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3220: The cheater was cheated
After staying up all night, Tsui Hark, Ruan Jizhi and Zheng Zhongtai finally revised the script of Lin Daoqiu's "The Swordsman".

After repeated discussions, the three people all agreed that the revised script should be fine this time. After all, Lin Daoqiu had already written the big framework, and they only needed to work on the details.

Moreover, after the script was completed, it needed to be revised at any time during filming, so Tsui Hark still set aside some scenes and did not write the script too hard.

"Boss, do you think Mr. Lin will be satisfied with this script?"

Although the script has been written, Ruan Jizhi and Zheng Zhongtai are still worried that they will not be able to pass Lin Daoqiu's eyes.

Tsui Hark just glanced at them, but he didn't say anything, because the people who were revising the script this time were actually Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. With their ability, they could fill the script to this point in a few days. To this extent, Lin Daoqiu should have no other thoughts except surprise.

Tsui Hark didn't think that Lin Daoqiu had much expectations for Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. He probably just wanted them to participate in the filming of "The Swordsman".

"You don't know this question and neither do I. Only Mr. Lin will know the result after reading it. So what we have to do now is to hand over the script to Mr. Lin and let him make the decision."

Of course, Tsui Hark would not give this script directly to Lin Daoqiu, but to Wen Jun and Zheng Danshui.

He made a phone call and invited Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to his studio, and then Tsui Hark read the script carefully several times.

I don’t know how many times I watched it when Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui arrived.

"The script has been revised. Please take a look at it."

Tsui Hark handed the script to Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. After receiving the script, they began to seriously read the version revised by Tsui Hark.

Although Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are not very accomplished in filming, they still have the ability to appreciate scripts. In just a few days, it is not difficult to fill in the script given by Lin Daoqiu, but if you want to fill it in well, it is not difficult. It is really difficult to get Lin Daoqiu's approval.

The two of them read the script in silence for more than ten minutes before finishing the script in their hands. The moment they put down the script, an idea came to their minds almost at the same time.

"This script is well written, but..."

"But? Is there anything poorly written?"

Tsui Hark originally thought that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui would not have any objections to the script that he and Zheng Zhongtai had written day and night. After all, this was beyond the level of Wen Jun and Zheng Danshui. Tsui Hark did not think that with their ability, they could The script was changed to their level.

But it happens to be this thing that Tsui Hark is proud of that makes Wenjun and Zheng Danrui have some difficulties.

"The script has been revised well, but Lao Xu, have you ever thought that the style of this script has nothing to do with Ari and I, or even..."

"It even looks like the script in your movie."

Zheng Danrui on the side quickly helped Wen Juan fill in the blanks.When Tsui Hark heard this, he realized that he had never considered this issue at all. After all, this script was to be shown to Lin Daoqiu. Even Wenjun and Zheng Danrui could see it. With Lin Daoqiu's discernment, how could he not I know this script was definitely not written by them.

But now that the script has been revised, if we want to revise it again and change it to the style of Wen Jun and Cheng Danshui, it will be a waste of time, and Tsui Hark doesn't think the script will be any better.

After all, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's abilities are very average, that is, they rely on their relationship with Lin Daoqiu to thrive in the Hong Kong film industry. Without Lin Daoqiu's relationship, their status in the Hong Kong film industry would probably only be Very average.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became silent. Tsui Hark didn't speak, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't know what to say.

This script was indeed well revised, but if Lin Daoqiu knew that it was Tsui Hark who changed it, he would definitely not use it. After all, Lin Daoqiu had already said that Tsui Hark would not be allowed to participate in the filming of "The Swordsman", and Wen Jun He and Zheng Danrui didn't know that Tsui Hark had deceived Lin Daoqiu before, so the other party refused to let him participate in the filming of this drama.

If Tsui Hark told them the truth, these two guys Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui would definitely refuse to help Tsui Hark immediately.

Trick them once?This idea suddenly popped into Tsui Hark's mind.

Based on Wenjun and Zheng Danrui's relationship with Lin Daoqiu, even if Lin Daoqiu is really angered this time, nothing will happen to them. After all, they are Lin Daoqiu's confidants. After Lin Daoqiu finds out, he will at best kill them. It's just a scolding, what's the big deal?

But he is different. If he fails to restore Lin Daoqiu's opinion of him in time this time, then he will not be able to participate in the shooting of special effects blockbusters for who knows how many years. He may even gradually sink because of this. Being able to only make some low- and medium-production films is definitely not the result Tsui Hark wants to see.

So at this moment Tsui Hark firmed up his idea and let Wenjun and Zheng Danrui take the blame.

"You think this way because you know it was written by me, but if you can accurately tell how you came up with the contents of this script and how you conceived it, when Mr. Lin asks you as long as you answer fluently, he will forget it. You can’t provide any evidence for suspicion, right?”

"Is it really?"

Tsui Hark's words made Wenjun feel that there was some truth to it. As long as he could explain clearly everything Lin Daoqiu suspected, could he still doubt himself?
"Of course it is. Don't worry. No one in Xiangjiang knows that you are Mr. Lin's confidant. No one else has more face than you in front of Mr. Lin. Don't worry. As long as you two help me, Once again, if you need help with anything in the future, just ask, and I, Tsui Hark, will do my best."

To make Tsui Hark owe them a favor, all they have to do is hand over the revised script to Lin Daoqiu. This business is very profitable for both Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui. After all, Tsui Hark is considered the best in Hong Kong at this time. He is a film director and is highly regarded by Lin Daoqiu. He is not yet 40 years old and can still make many movies in the future. Helping him may have some miraculous effects on himself in the future.

"Ah Juan, since Lao Xu has said so, and we have known each other for so many years, there is nothing wrong with helping him."

Zheng Danrui is a relatively soft-hearted person, and this is not a difficult problem for them. Even if Tsui Hark doesn't say that he owes a favor, he will choose to help him.

When Wen Jun heard what Zheng Danrui said, it would be a bit unkind if he refused, and maybe Tsui Hark would hate him because of this incident.

"Since you said you would help me, can you still say not to help me? We will take the script to Brother Qiu for review."
