Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Seeing Chu Yuan's shocked look, Lin Daoqiu could only explain to him why he didn't ask Jet Li to film "Swordsman".

"Jet Li recently found an agent named Cai Ziming. He seems to have other arrangements for Jet Li. I have talked to Li Maowen before, but Cai Ziming is not willing to lend Jet Li to star in "The Swordsman". Since In this way, I will not force others to do anything difficult, so this time the male lead of "The Swordsman" has to be replaced by someone else."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Chu Yuan not know how to answer for a moment. Among the people in the Xiangjiang film industry, there were people who dared not give Lin Daoqiu face. This was the first time he had seen it. If it was more than ten years ago, That would be normal, but what time is it now? Lin Daoqiu's status in the Hong Kong film industry and even the international film industry is that of a dominant figure. If Cai Ziming wants to develop in the film industry in the future, even if he takes a step back, he won't. Go and make friends with Lin Daoqiu, but you must not offend him.

"Should I go to him to discuss it again? If Jet Li can be cast, I believe that the sequel to "The Swordsman" will definitely be a great addition. If someone is replaced, it may be difficult to find someone who can replace Jet Li. the right person.”

Chu Yuan still wanted to give it a try. No matter how ignorant Cai Ziming was, if he introduced the current situation to him in detail, Cai Ziming should be able to understand.

"It's not necessary. I have decided not to cast Jet Li for "The Swordsman", so I hope Director Chu can choose a new Linghu Chong as soon as possible. Am I clear enough?"

Originally, Chu Yuan thought he could give it a try to see if he could invite Jet Li, but Lin Daoqiu's words completely extinguished his thoughts. Now it's not whether he wants to play or Jet Li wants to act, but whether he wants to act or not. Lin Daoqiu has already relegated Jet Li to the cold palace, and now Jet Li is in trouble.

"I know Mr. Lin, I will think about the candidate to play Linghu Chong as soon as possible, and I will report to you as soon as I think of it."

Chu Yuan did not continue to struggle with this issue. Jet Li was good. If he were to play Linghu Chong, he would definitely be very brilliant. But unfortunately, he is now disgusted by Lin Daoqiu. A person who is disgusted by Lin Daoqiu is naturally impossible. I had the opportunity to participate in the filming of Lin Daoqiu's movie. I can only say that Cai Ziming has narrowed his own path. He has trouble with anyone but chooses to offend Lin Daoqiu. Isn't this crazy?

After taking over the script of "Swordsman" from Lin Daoqiu, Chu Yuan was sent home by Lin Daoqiu after a brief chat.

As soon as he got home, Chu Yuan put a hot towel on his face, then went into the study and started revising the script.

Lin Daoqiu has already written the general plot, and now all he needs to do is to fill in the details. Don’t look at it as just filling in the details. Sometimes, because there are too many details filled in, the main plot may even have to be made. Some modifications.

No one in Xiangjiang dares to say that the script he wrote is better than that written by Lin Daoqiu, but Chu Yuan carefully read the script of "The Swordsman" written by Lin Daoqiu. He thought there was nothing amazing about this script. Most of the scripts The plot is modified based on the original work of "The Swordsman". It's definitely not bad, but it's obviously impossible to say how good it is.

However, while changing the script, there was another troublesome thing for Chu Yuan, and that was the choice of Linghu Chong.

When filming "The Swordsman", Jet Li was not chosen. Instead, Jet Li was chosen to replace him. Is there such a person in Hong Kong?

In terms of skills, it is not impossible to find someone who can be close to Jet Li, let alone looks. You can find quite a few, but if you are looking according to Jet Li's standards, then The number of people to choose from suddenly became very small. Even Chu Yuan couldn't think of anyone who could be close to Jet Li for a while.

After working hard all night, Chu Yuan didn't go back to his room to rest until he was tired.

Early the next morning, Chu Yuan called Wang Jing and asked him to come out for morning tea.

Wang Jing did not refuse Chu Yuan's invitation, and he didn't work in the morning, so he happily went to the morning tea appointment. "Master, why do you have time to ask me for morning tea?"

Wang Jing sat down next to Chu Yuan with a smile, then took a few baskets of snacks and started eating.

Chu Yuan didn't have much appetite. He was very worried about the script and the selection of the leading actor. The purpose of finding Wang Jing today was very simple, that is, he wanted to hear what Wang Jing had to say about this and what good candidates he could provide. He referenced.

"The thing is like this, I invited you out for tea today because I want to ask your help for something."

When Wang Jing heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing. Chu Yuan would not ask for help easily, and he would not even ask for help. If he asked for help, things would definitely not be easy. .

As a disciple of Chu Yuan, Wang Jing never thought about hiding from trouble. He felt that if he could help, he would do his best, but if he really couldn't help, then he could only tell the truth.

"Master, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

The tactful Wang Jing was rarely honest for once.

Chu Yuan was very pleased to hear Wang Jing's answer. In fact, he was a little worried that Wang Jing was unwilling to help him. After all, he usually didn't ask others for help. Since finding him would definitely not be a simple matter, But Wang Jing agreed without much thought. The apprentice he found was really good.

"The thing is like this. Yesterday, Mr. Lin invited me to dinner. During the dinner, he told me that he wanted me to take on the role of "The Swordsman". As you know, if Mr. Lin comes to me, I will naturally not refuse. , so I have taken over "The Swordsman" and now I am the director of this drama."

"Ah? You took over "Swordsman"? You want to cooperate with Lao Xu? Master, I want to talk about you now. You know who Lao Xu is. There is absolutely no benefit in cooperating with him, and he will be You are so angry that even if you have a good temper, you may not be able to bear it when you meet someone like Tsui Hark."

Wang Jing's impression of Tsui Hark is not very good. If possible, he would not want to cooperate with Tsui Hark.

"Tsu Hark will not be filming "Swordsman". Although I don't know the reason, Mr. Lin has already said that Tsui Hark will not participate in the filming of this drama."

"Ah? Tsui Hark isn't filming "The Swordsman"? Why? This is his masterpiece. Is there something going on here?"

After hearing what Chu Yuan said, Wang Jing, who was burning with gossip, wanted to know the inside story.

But after asking Chu Yuan, the other party didn't know. Wang Jing invited Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui over for tea with just one phone call.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, I believe they must know." (End of Chapter)
