Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3236 The battle to save Tsui Hark

Brigitte Lin, Ekin Cheng, Yam Shiguan, Chen Yulian, Zhou Huimin, Yuan Jieying, the original main actors were all gathered in addition to Jet Li, in addition to well-known supporting roles such as Qian Xiaohao, Liu Jiahui, Chung Fat, Ng Man-tat, etc., this time Chu Yuan looks like We want to make "The Swordsman" into a high-level martial arts movie.

When the news came out that the third part of "The Swordsman" was about to start filming, looking at the cast list in the newspaper, Tsui Hark looked sad because this was supposed to be his movie, but now it has fallen to In the hands of Chu Yuan, in the final analysis, it was because he deceived Lin Daoqiu and thought that the other party would not find out. As a result, Tsui Hark, who was exposed by Lin Daoqiu in person, was naturally deprived of the right to film the sequel to "The Swordsman".

Tsui Hark regrets and is very sad. After all, the first two parts of "The Swordsman" were made with great effort by him and received very good feedback. It was a great regret for him that he could not participate in the filming of the third part. .

But now the regrets are regrets. Compared with the regrets left by "The Swordsman", not being able to get Lin Daoqiu's understanding is the biggest trouble for him now.

"I know you are very reluctant to let go, but there is nothing you can do now. Mr. Lin's attitude is very firm. He will never let you participate in the filming of "The Swordsman". I think it's better to forget it. Otherwise, I won't wait until you film." After this drama is over, let’s go abroad to relax, lest you stay in Xiangjiang and continue to think wildly.”

Shi Nansheng was doing it for Tsui Hark's good. She didn't want his random thoughts to affect his mood or the movie he was filming.

But Tsui Hark's thoughts were obviously different from Shi Nansheng's, and he shook his head.

"It's really a pity that I couldn't film "Swordsman", but the most troublesome thing now is not that I didn't film "Swordsman", but that I couldn't get Mr. Lin's understanding. This is the most troublesome thing, you know Really? Cheng Xiaodong told me that filming of "The Storm" is about to start, do you think Mr. Lin will let me direct this drama?"

Shi Nansheng shook his head directly. Since Lin Daoqiu chose to start filming "The Storm" at this time, it meant that he would not consider letting Tsui Hark direct the film.

At this time, there are three comic-book movies currently being filmed or about to start filming in Hong Kong, all of which are large-scale productions with over 7000 million yuan. However, Tsui Hark is not involved in the three comic-book movies. This is what worries him the most.

Being able to know a special effects blockbuster has always been Tsui Hark's dream, but he has not been involved in any of the three blockbusters currently being filmed. Although he has directed "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" before, it was Lin Daoqiu who asked him to come to the rescue temporarily. It’s just that there are many places where he can’t express his ideas. He is basically a film-making machine. What he wants is to be able to lead the production of all films and retain the final editing rights, but from the current point of view, it should be It is unlikely that anyone will give him this opportunity, which makes Tsui Hark not anxious.

"How about... let's go see Mr. Lin."

"What are you going to see Mr. Lin for? Going to see him at this time will only make him angrier, so I'd better forget it."

Tsui Hark shook his head. He didn't think it would be a good decision to see Lin Daoqiu at this time. Maybe Lin Daoqiu would be even more angry when he saw him, so it would be better to consider this issue after some time.

"You are such a fool. Mr. Lin is not the kind of person who likes to kill everyone. Just go to Mr. Lin and say that you want to join the team of "The Swordsman" as an assistant director and help Chu Yuan finish filming "The Swordsman". And promise to cooperate with the other party absolutely. If you do this, Mr. Lin will see your sincerity, and maybe you will have a chance to win the director of "The Storm"."

"Do you think this is really possible?"

Tsui Hark looked at Shi Nansheng with suspicion. Although he didn't think Shi Nansheng's method would be effective, it seemed that the only other option was to wait, but he didn't know when it would be over.

"I don't know if it's possible, but I only know that if you don't do it, nothing will be possible. You won't suffer any loss if you try. Mr. Lin won't kill you. Anyway, you can't get Mr. Lin's forgiveness. I’m afraid it will be difficult for movies to continue to develop in Hong Kong. If this is the case, it is better to find ways to resolve Mr. Lin’s anger as soon as possible. That is the most correct choice.”

Tsui Hark felt that Shi Nansheng was right, so he stood up immediately.

"You plan to go there now?" Tsui Hark shook his head. If he went to see Lin Daoqiu like this, the chance of success was almost zero. He had to find someone to intercede for him.

…………

"What? You want me to help you intercede with Mr. Lin? How did you provoke Mr. Lin?"

"Let me just say that you are not in the movie "The Swordsman" this time. It turns out that's why."

Currently, only five members of the seven-member New Art City team remain: Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Eric Tsang, Teddy Robin, and Huang Baiming. Shi Tian has withdrawn from the entertainment industry, and Mai Jia is semi-retired.

Tsui Hark found the remaining three people and asked them to help him speak well in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Tsui Hark had no choice but to tell the three people the whole story. After all, they were all his own and would not betray him.

After listening to Tsui Hark's words, the three of them almost looked at him with wide eyes.

"Old Xu, are you crazy? You dare to play tricks on Mr. Lin. How many brains do you have, and you were exposed by Mr. Lin on the spot? We don't dare to seek death. Even if we want to help you, I'm afraid it will take a while. That's fine, at least it's impossible for us to go now, we don't have that much face in front of Mr. Lin."

It's not that Teddy Robin is unwilling to help Tsui Hark, but he thinks that it is useless to speak for Tsui Hark now, and it is very likely to arouse Lin Daoqiu's dissatisfaction and make them all hate him. If that is the case Then they would be really unlucky, so he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Eric Tsang nodded vigorously beside him.

"Old Xu, you are dead this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you."

Huang Baiming was silent beside him. It seemed that he had the same idea as Teddy Robin and Eric Tsang.

"By the way, why don't you ask Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui for help? Compared to us, they are Mr. Lin's closest confidants. If they are willing to help you speak, the chance will be much greater and the effect will be much stronger."

Teddy Robin suddenly asked Tsui Hark a question, making the other party even more embarrassed.

"No, you won't even offend Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui, right?"

Tsui Hark smiled awkwardly and nodded.

The three of them stood up immediately when they saw this. They were probably really doomed now.
