Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3225 Director Hu

Hu Jinquan was surprised by the arrival of Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, but they were Lin Daoqiu's best brothers, so Hu Jinquan naturally did not dare to neglect them.

Inviting the two people to the study and making them a cup of tea himself, Hu Jinquan wanted to know why Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui came to him.

If these two people wanted to ask him to film a movie, Hu Jinquan would probably not agree, because Hu Jinquan is not the kind of person who shoots quick movies. He likes to work slowly and carefully. What he pays attention to is historical and sophisticated. The more detailed the better, sometimes for the sake of a scene. He could wait for several days for just one scene.

But people nowadays talk about "quick" when making movies, which is in great conflict with Hu Jinquan's concept of making movies. Therefore, unless a boss like Lin Daoqiu who really respects movies and has enough funds asks him to film, otherwise Hu Jinquan is just like me. Don't accept invitations from others easily.

"Director Hu is like this. This time we are here to ask for something."

"Please tell me, you two, as long as I can help you, I will seriously consider it."

Hu Jinquan is different from what others say. Most people do their best when faced with Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui coming to them for help. But here, Hu Jinquan will seriously consider it. His lack of words means that he is right. The level of emphasis on this matter is also completely different.

Although Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are Lin Daoqiu's brothers and confidants, Hu Jinquan does not flatter them like others because he is not that kind of person.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't think there was anything wrong with Hu Jinquan's attitude. After all, the other party was an old-timer in the film industry. When he was filming and becoming a great director, they were still playing in the mud, and Hu Jinquan was a very cultured person. Man, that’s even more respectable.

"It's like this. Brother Qiu plans to shoot the third part of "The Swordsman". Tsui Hark used to be the director, but this time Tsui Hark will not participate in the filming of the third part. Now Brother Qiu has written the rough script. Let us modify it, but we know that we are not capable enough to modify the script that Brother Qiu wants, so we came to you for help."

"You came to me to change the script? Does Mr. Lin know?"

King Hu is interested in why Tsui Hark didn't participate in the filming of the third film?Could it be that Tsui Hark and Lin Daoqiu had a falling out?Isn't it?If Tsui Hark still wants to make movies in the future, he won't be stupid enough to quarrel with Lin Daoqiu. After all, apart from Hong Kong, Lin Daoqiu's influence in other mainstream film markets is not small at all.

"I haven't had time to tell Brother Qiu yet, but I believe Brother Qiu will definitely not object if he finds out, as long as you are willing to help."

Hu Jinquan looked at Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui and began to murmur in his heart.

When he was filming the first part of "The Swordsman", he and Tsui Hark actually had big differences in the concept of film shooting.

Hu Jinquan worked slowly and carefully, and he was talking about the word "slow", but in order to speed up the progress, Tsui Hark went straight from the initial persuasion to the intervention. In the end, the two people almost turned against each other, if it were not for the fact that "The Swordsman" is Lin Dao If Qiu invests, Hu Jinquan feels that he may leave the market midway.

Now Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui have come to ask him to change the script. This is not a difficult task for Hu Jinquan. After all, Lin Daoqiu has already written the script. As long as there are no major changes, there should be no problem, and no one will question Lin Daoqiu. Qiu's ability to write scripts.

Even Hu Jinquan was thinking, if he revised the script and then went to Lin Daoqiu to ask him for the director of this play, would Lin Daoqiu give it to him?
After thinking about it, Hu Jinquan decided to give it a try. Anyway, he has nothing to do at ordinary times, and "The Swordsman" was a worry for him at the beginning. He could obviously make a classic, but because Tsui Hark was eager for success, Although it received good box office and reputation, for King Hu, this was not a good movie at all.

Now that he has the opportunity to make up for the regrets in his heart, Hu Jinquan certainly doesn't want to give up. After all, the opportunity has been presented to him and there is no reason to turn it down.

"Since you two have come to me specifically for help, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse. I promise you to change this script."

After Hu Jinquan thought about it, he agreed to Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui's request to change the script. The two were immediately overjoyed when they heard it.This hot potato was finally thrown away, and we had to report the good news to Lin Daoqiu immediately.

"You two go slowly first."

"What's wrong? Director Hu, do you have any other requirements? Oh... I forgot, your fee for revising the script is set at 50, what do you think?"

It costs money to change the script, and you can't let people do it in vain. The cost of 50 yuan to change the script is definitely not small, but the profits generated by the subsequent movies will have nothing to do with Hu Jinquan. He can only add subtitles to the movie. appear in.

Hu Jinquan did not call Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui to discuss money issues with them.

"You two have misunderstood. Changing the script doesn't cost that much money. I just have a little thing to ask you for help with."

"Director Hu said that as long as we can help, we will try our best."

Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui quickly replied.

"It's not a troublesome matter. When you go to see Mr. Lin then, help me test it out and see what the chances are if I want to win the director of this drama?"

"Oh...we know, don't worry, we will help you ask."

Hu Jinquan wanted to win the director of "The Swordsman". Although it was a bit surprising, in the eyes of Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, this was not a very strange thing. After all, Hu Jinquan actually didn't enjoy filming the first "The Swordsman". The conflict between Tsui Hark-chi and Hu Jinquan was not satisfied with many aspects of the final presentation of the drama.

Now that he has this opportunity to make up for his original regrets, Hu Jinquan naturally wants to find a way to try it.

So with Hu Jinquan's request, Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui went to New Oriental the next day to talk to Lin Daoqiu about the matter.

"Brother Qiu, we have found someone to revise the script."

"Really? Congratulations to you, but I thought you came to me today to tell me about Tsui Hark's reaction yesterday."

Lin Daoqiu originally thought that when Wen Jun came to see him today, he would definitely tell him vividly how sad Tsui Hark's reaction was after he went to see Tsui Hark yesterday to return the script to him, but he didn't expect that these two guys would actually Not a word about Tsui Hark is mentioned, which is really rare.

"The matter with Tsui Hark is over. Let him reflect on his own. We came to Brother Qiu today to tell you that we asked Director Hu Jinquan to change this script."

"Ah, you asked Hu Jinquan to change this script? You...you really can think of it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui would go to King Hu to revise the script of "The Swordsman". For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
