Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3230 Not a simple morning tea
Wang Jing called Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui as soon as he called.

As soon as they appeared, they greeted Chu Yuan.

"Hello, Director Chu."

"Hello you two, please take a seat."

Chu Yuan was Wang Jing's master. Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui didn't think it was strange that he and Wang Jing appeared together.

As soon as they sat down, Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui each brought a few boxes of snacks over, then poured themselves a cup of tea and prepared to have a delicious morning tea.

"You are so kind to invite us to have morning tea. If you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, you are either committing adultery or stealing."

"I don't think Ah Jing is that kind of person. He just invited us to have morning tea. Don't think too much about it."

Zheng Danrui simply thought that Wang Jing's purpose of inviting them here was just to have morning tea together.

"Arui is right. I just invited you out for morning tea very simply. The one who really wants to trouble you is my master, not me."

"Director Chu wants us to help?"

Wen Juan was stunned for a moment, then put down the teacup in his hand.

He was somewhat familiar with Chu Yuan's current situation. After leaving Shaw Brothers, few people invited him to film. Now most of the time he plays supporting roles in some movies. Could it be that Chu Yuan's purpose for finding him this time was to make him Invest in his filming?
"The thing is like this, Mr. Lin asked me to film "The Swordsman", but Tsui Hark was filming this film before. This time I asked Tsui Hark to participate. I don't know if there is any hidden reason. I planned to film it before the filming started. Ask Tsui Hark and learn from him."

"Brother Qiu asked you to film "Swordsman"..."

When Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui heard what Chu Yuan said, their eyes widened in shock.

Why would Lin Daoqiu go to Chu Yuan instead of looking for others? Did he already plan to find Chu Yuan to film "The Swordsman" when he went to submit the script to King Hu Jinquan?
Although I don't know what Lin Daoqiu thinks, now that Chu Yuan has taken over the drama, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui have to help him to film the drama well.

"Actually, we don't know why Brother Qiu didn't let Tsui Hark participate in the filming of this drama. To be honest with Director Chu, Brother Qiu asked us to revise the script of "The Swordsman" not long ago, but you also know this about us. How can you improve the script with skill? It happened that Tsui Hark didn't know how he knew about this matter, so he came to us specifically to help us. But out of kindness, we agreed to him. Later, he changed the script and we ended up I showed it to Brother Qiu for a look, and then Brother Qiu rejected the manuscript directly...

"Then we went to Director Hu Jinquan to revise the script. At that time, Director Hu asked us to do him a favor, hoping to win over the director of "The Swordsman". Later, after Brother Qiu found out about it, he went to get the script back. He said Director Hu's scripts can only be produced by himself, and Director Hu's filming is not only expensive but also time-consuming. "The Swordsman" can't wait, and then Brother Qiu came to you."

After hearing the whole story, Chu Yuan realized that so many things had happened before, and finally the director of "The Swordsman" fell into his hands. This was a bit of a trick of fate, and even this drama was somehow It seems like I should take the photos myself.

"If that's the case, I can't go to Tsui Hark and ask him for help with the details."

It seems that Chu Yuan is not a fool. Although he doesn’t know what happened between Lin Daoqiu and Tsui Hark, Tsui Hark must have made Lin Daoqiu very unhappy now. If Lin Daoqiu knew that he went to Xu Hark for help. , then I’m afraid the director of this drama will have to be replaced again. "It's not a big deal if Tsui Hark doesn't help. "The Swordsman" is now the third one. The style and other things have been decided for a long time. Even if you can't surpass the previous one even if you take ten thousand steps back based on your ability. As long as we can draw, Mr. Lin will be satisfied."

When Lin Daoqiu approached Chu to make "The Swordsman", he probably didn't expect that the other party could produce a film that surpassed Tsui Hark's previous two films. Of course, it would be the best if he could achieve it. If he couldn't, he didn't insist on it, as long as the quality didn't fall too far behind. That's fine. After all, this drama has many supporters. As long as the quality can be maintained, the box office won't be too bad.

Although what Wang Jing said is true, his choice of words is still open to question. It seems that Lin Daoqiu asked Chu Yuan to shoot "The Swordsman" without expecting him to be successful, and just asked him to deal with it. .

Zheng Danrui immediately noticed that Wen Juan's words were inappropriate, and he quickly made amends.

"What Ajun means is that Brother Qiu asked Director Chu to film "The Swordsman" because your abilities are not much different from Tsui Hark and the others. With you here, you will definitely be able to film "The Swordsman" well. You Is that right?"

"Yes, that's what I meant. It's my fault that I didn't speak clearly, and Director Chu almost misunderstood me."

Wen Juan only reacted when he heard what Zheng Danrui said.

Chu Yuan knew that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were just giving him face and saying things for the occasion. At this time, he really couldn't compare with Tsui Hark, but if it were placed ten years ago, Tsui Hark at that time would still have made three films in a row. The director of the movie, and although Chu Yuan was in a very worrying situation at that time, at least one movie still got a million box office, which was much more prestigious than Tsui Hark.

But times have changed, and Tsui Hark has become one of the most popular directors in Hong Kong, and he has gradually been forgotten by everyone. At this time, comparing himself to Tsui Hark is just more jokes, so Chu Yuan did not continue on this issue, but changed Coming to another topic related to "Swordsman".

"One more thing. Jet Li, who originally played Linghu Chong, is not able to participate this time. Please help me find out. Is there any actor in Xiangjiang who can match Jet Li? I have been thinking hard after I went back last night, but I really want to If I don’t come out, there are many who can beat him, and there are also many who are taller and more handsome than him, but if these two are combined into one, then I really won’t be able to find him.”

The special thing about Jet Li is that he is not as handsome as he can fight, and he is not as handsome as him. This is really a troublesome thing for Chu Yuan.

And let alone Chu Yuan, after he said this, even Wang Jing and the three of them were trapped by the trouble Chu Yuan mentioned.

Find a person who is more suitable than Jet Li to play Linghu Chong in "The Swordsman". Is there really such a person?
"How about Yuan Biao? His skills are absolutely unparalleled. He can be said to be on par with Jet Li..."

"Yuan Biao's skills are fine, but he looks too upright and is not suitable for playing Linghu Chong."

At this time, Zheng Danrui proposed a candidate.

"What about Qian Xiaohao? He's handsome enough, isn't he? He's also very skilled, he can also fight..."

"Qian Xiaohao..."

When Zheng Danrui said this, everyone thought of Qian Xiaohao. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have good conditions in all aspects. Maybe he could give it a try.
