Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

He left Lin Daoqiu's office with great gratitude.

Originally, Tsui Hark came here with an uneasy mood. He even thought about what he would do if Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to help.

But what Tsui Hark never expected was that Shi Nansheng gave him such a big surprise. If there weren't others around, he couldn't help but want to pick him up and kiss him hard. After all, this is what he has dreamed of. What I have been thinking about for so many years but cannot do.

Unexpectedly, he would get what he wanted under such circumstances. For Tsui Hark, this was simply an unbelievable thing. He had never dared to even think about it before.

After leaving New Oriental, Tsui Hark didn't care so much. He hugged Shi Nansheng and kissed him hard on the street.

"What are you doing?"

Shi Nansheng covered her face in shame and wanted to laugh. Of course she knew why Tsui Hark suddenly kissed her. It must have been because he was too happy.

"I'm so happy and thank you so much NanSun. If it weren't for you, I would never have gotten this opportunity from Mr. Lin today. No matter what I say, nothing can represent the excitement in my heart at this time. Really...I have been waiting for this day for too long."

"I know, of course I know. In fact, I never thought Mr. Lin would agree. After all, asking Lin Daoqiu to help you clarify is already a difficult thing, and you also have to get a chance to shoot a special effects blockbuster from him. I’m afraid no one would believe that it would be successful even if I told it, but I felt that Mr. Lin would definitely agree, so I decided to give it a try.”

Tsui Hark didn't understand what Shi Nansheng meant. Since she knew it was impossible, why would she try it?

Seeing Tsui Hark looking at him blankly, Shi Nansheng explained to him.

"I bet on how much Mr. Lin values ​​you. Of course, this kind of gambling is a bit big. One bad move will make Mr. Lin do something bad to us, but once it succeeds, the rewards will be very generous. , you didn’t blame me for saying this to Mr. Lin directly without communicating with you in advance. In fact, I am already very grateful to you."

Hearing Shi Nansheng's words, Tsui Hark had the urge to bury his head in the ground. She had helped him accomplish such a big thing, yet she was still so humble in front of him. I really don't know what she was doing in her previous life. What a good thing it is to find such a wife and partner.

"It doesn't matter. I won't blame you even if it doesn't succeed. After all, you are speaking for me from my standpoint. No matter what the final result is, I will accept it."

Although Tsui Hark said so, if Lin Daoqiu had not agreed to Shi Nansheng's request at that time, but had scolded them for pushing the other party too far, I'm afraid Tsui Hark wouldn't be so reasonable now, and even if he wasn't angry, he would probably be in a bad mood. It won't get any better.

"Old Xu, what I want to make sure is, do you really want to film "The Legend of Shushan"? You answer my question first."

Shi Nansheng had a serious expression on her face. It didn't look like she was just asking casually, but she was very serious about getting an accurate answer from Tsui Hark.After being asked this question by Shi Nansheng, Tsui Hark hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily.

"Yes, I do want to put "The Legend of Shushan" on the big screen. The original "New Shushan Swordsman" almost ruined my film career, but I am not afraid. I even feel that if it weren't for my relationship with Lin If you play against each other, the results of "New Shushan Swordsman" will definitely not be that bad. Of course, what I say now is just hindsight."

Tsui Hark shook his head helplessly. If he hadn't insisted on making a blockbuster, and then chose to break with Lin Daoqiu, and then was sniped by Lin Daoqiu's movie, the final results of "New Shushan Swordsman" should not be so good. awful.

But now the situation is completely different. I have the blessing of Lin Daoqiu and the help of Magic Studio. In addition, Xiangjiang Cinemas and Lin Daoqiu control theaters in Asia and Hollywood. As long as my "Shushan" If "The Legend" is shot well and above the standard, it will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes, at least that's what Tsui Hark firmly believes.

"Old Xu, actually I shouldn't advise you to give up "The Legend of Shushan" and make other movies at this time. After all, this is your dream. As your wife, I should also support your dream, but I thought about it. I still decided to advise you, although this is a hard-won opportunity, it may also be your talisman."

"What makes you say that?"

Tsui Hark didn't understand why Shi Nansheng said this opportunity was his talisman?You must know that this opportunity to direct a special effects blockbuster alone is not something that just anyone can get. Now that the opportunity has come, how can he miss it? Of course, he wants to put the movie he wants to make on the big screen. The screen is the right one.

"If the film fails, I'm afraid you will have to make movies for ten years to pay off the debt. Have you figured it out?"

Shi Nansheng directly stated the core of the problem. Movies worth hundreds of millions are on the market. How dare Lin Daoqiu entrust him with blockbusters in the future? If Tsui Hark wants to make movies by then, he will only be able to make movies worth millions or thousands. Forget about movies with a budget of [-] yuan, and those real blockbusters, there would be no chance for him.

The reason why Shi Nansheng was so cautious was because Tsui Hark wanted to do it in one fell swoop, but would he fall to the ground in the end? After all, these were all possible, and she had to be on guard.

"Don't worry. Since you trust me, you have to have confidence in me. This time I will be cautious and discuss more with the people at Magic Studio on how to use special effects. I won't go my own way like before, even if I can't make a lot of money. , but I believe that "The Legend of Shushan" will definitely be able to maintain its capital. As long as a blockbuster like this does not lose money, who will Mr. Lin think of first when making special effects movies in the future?"

Shi Nansheng felt that Tsui Hark was too optimistic, but now she couldn't hurt the other party's self-confidence, so she had no choice but to nod along with Tsui Hark.

"That's right. Believe me, as long as "The Legend of Shushan" is filmed by then, everyone will know how mature my control and experience in special effects movies are, even if Mr. Lin doesn't ask me to shoot special effects by then. movie, but I believe that other filmmakers in Hong Kong will definitely be aroused, and by then all my dreams will be realized one by one. This is the most important thing."

From Tsui Hark's point of view, the most important thing for him now is to convince Lin Daoqiu to let him film "The Legend of Shushan" as soon as possible. As for Lin Daoqiu giving him time to go back and think about it, Tsui Hark actually doesn't want it at all, because it is very harmful to him. It's completely redundant. He only has one idea and one movie now, and that is "The Legend of Shushan". (End of chapter)
