Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3231 Linghu Chong becomes Lin Pingzhi
Qian Xiaohao is a good-looking boy and his skills are not to mention. Xiangjiang movies are experiencing a growth spurt at this time. Not to mention big stars like Brigitte Lin and Chow Yun-fat, even supporting actors like Lou Nanguang or Zhong Fa have no worries about filming. It is said that everyone has made a fortune because of the prosperity of the Hong Kong Film Market.

Qian Xiaohao, who is handsome and good at fighting, naturally got a lot of opportunities. Lin Daoqiu never approached him for filming after filming "A Better Man". However, Qian Xiaohao didn't worry about not having any movies to film. In addition to the movies he starred in, he also participated in Lam Ching-ying's zombie series, but he's been lacking a movie that would launch him into the top tier of stardom.

Until Qian Xiaohao received a call from Wang Jing asking him to come out for tea.

Although there are no big productions, there are many people looking for Qian Xiaohao to film. Wang Jing suddenly called him. Qian Xiaohao knew that the other party must be looking for him to film. Judging from Wang Jing's situation during this period, large productions and low-cost The chances are [-]/[-].

However, Wang Jing was somewhat of a hit director, so Qian Xiaohao thought about it and happily went to the appointment.

Soon when Qian Xiaohao came to the teahouse, he unexpectedly discovered that in addition to Wang Jing, there were also director Chu Yuan, Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui.

"Director Chu, Director Wang, you didn't expect Brother Juan and Brother Rui to be here too?"

"Xiao Hao, sit down quickly. I have something to talk to you about."

Qian Xiaohao nodded, then walked to the chair and sat down.

Chu Yuan was observing Qian Xiaohao carefully at this time. He was indeed handsome. He didn't know how he would look after changing into ancient costumes, and whether he could match Linghu Chong's temperament.

Qian Xiaohao didn't notice that Chu Yuan was observing him at this time. In fact, he was Zhang Che's apprentice and a member of the Shaw family, but his relationship with Chu Yuan could only be described as average.

"Xiao Hao, it's like this. I came to you this time because there is a movie that wants you to play the leading role."

Qian Xiaohao nodded immediately upon hearing this. This was completely correct as he had guessed before coming. After all, his relationship with Wang Jing was not very good, and it was impossible for them to call him over for tea without any problems. But if they could communicate with Wen If Juan and Zheng Danrui have a good relationship, Qian Xiaohao will be happy to do it.

"I wonder what movie Director Wang wants me to star in?"

"You are wrong. It is not me who is looking for you to film, but Director Chu Yuan."

"Director Chu Yuan..."

Qian Xiaohao turned his head and glanced at Chu Yuan, and found that the other person was smiling at him.

It would be fine if the person you want to film is Wang Jing. What the other party said is that he has made many blockbuster movies in the past few years, but Director Chu Yuan has long been in decline, and these movies are really not popular. Yes, he is probably more famous for his work as an actor now. Isn’t it a joke that he asked himself to film a movie?
"It's like this. Mr. Lin asked me to film "Swordsman". The male lead needs to be replaced. They think you can do it, so they invited you to have a cup of tea and chat."

""The Swordsman"? The one directed by Tsui Hark before?"

Chu Yuan nodded.

Qian Xiaohao was stunned. In the first part of "The Swordsman", Linghu Chong was played by Xu Guanjie, and in the second part, Jet Li was cast. Compared with the first part, Linghu Chong played by Jet Li in the second part was widely praised. Logically speaking, he should be cast in the role of Linghu Chong. It’s only right for him to continue acting. Why does he have to change the protagonist this time? What does this mean?
However, Qian Xiaohao does not object to playing Linghu Chong. He is very good at martial arts scenes, and "The Swordsman" has the foreshadowing of the previous two films. The audience has already recognized this series. As long as the quality of this filming is not too bad, the box office and reputation will be good. There should be good response.Thinking of this, Qian Xiaohao decided to give it a try. After all, they were the ones who liked him, and he had no reason to refuse.

"If there is an opportunity to play the male protagonist in Mr. Jin Yong's novel, I believe no one will refuse such an invitation."

Chu Yuan and others were very happy when they heard it, but Qian Xiaohao's willingness to take on this drama was just the beginning. He had to wait until he tried on the makeup to determine whether he was suitable for the role of Linghu Chong. He couldn't just look at his good looks and his fighting skills. Deciding to choose him to play Linghu Chong was obviously impossible.

After everyone drank tea for a while, they set off directly to try on the costumes briefly.

Linghu Chong's attire is very fixed, but the story told in the third part is that Linghu Chong is no longer a disciple of the Huashan sect. He takes his brothers and retreats to the mountains. Naturally, he will not continue to wear the clothes of a disciple of the Huashan sect, but will change to an ordinary person. Dress up, but not too ordinary.

So Chu Yuan asked someone to simply dress up Qian Xiaohao, put him into Ming Dynasty costumes, and then modified them a little. After doing this, he, Wang Jing, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui walked around Qian Xiaohao a few times and began to carefully Take a look at his outfit.

"What do you think?"

"Uh……"

Everyone around Qian Xiaohao seemed to have their own ideas, but most of their ideas were almost the same, that is, Qian Xiaohao changed into ancient costume, which seemed more suitable for playing a villain role, because he didn't feel like a decent person here. .

However, they would not say this in front of Qian Xiaohao, so after changing their clothes and taking a few random photos, they asked Qian Xiaohao to go back and wait for news.

"Master, Qian Xiaohao is not suitable for Linghu Chong. If he is asked to play the role, Lin Pingzhi or a similar role would be more suitable for him."

"Lin Pingzhi? You want him to play Lin Pingzhi? We just told him that we wanted him to play Linghu Chong. If it is changed to Lin Pingzhi now, he probably won't agree."

Chu Yuan was worried that Qian Xiaohao would not agree to play the role of Lin Pingzhi. After all, this character is a villain. The movies Qian Xiaohao played at this time were all positive roles. How could he agree to take the role of Lin Pingzhi?

"Of course, it's normal for Qian Xiaohao not to accept the role of Lin Pingzhi if it's a normal movie, but Master, I'm afraid you've forgotten that this movie was filmed by Mr. Lin. If he wanted Qian Xiaohao to play Lin Pingzhi, do you think he would Reject?"

"You mean to pull off the tiger's skin? Use Mr. Lin to force him to take the role of Lin Pingzhi?"

"What is force? How could you say Mr. Lin is so bad? We simply extended an invitation to him and felt that he was very suitable for the role of Lin Pingzhi. Of course, he can refuse, but when the time comes we can only think about it truthfully. Mr. Lin reported that I really can’t think of any place where I forced him to act, what do you think?”

"Ah Jing, you are such a bad guy. What's the point of bullying your master like this? Director Chu, please leave him alone. Since he is looking for Qian Xiaohao to play Lin Pingzhi, go and see if he is willing. If Qian Xiaohao doesn't If you want, forget it, don’t force him.”
