Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"It's rare that you can think of me so much. I'm very touched."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui and smiled.

I originally thought that I would be scolded by Lin Daoqiu, but I didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu agreed with their ideas, which made Wen Juan, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing relieved.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has agreed with their statement, does that mean he has decided to withdraw his investment in Tsui Hark?
Lin Daoqiu's next words left them speechless.

"But even so, I still want Tsui Hark to make "The Legend of Shushan"."

"Ah...Brother Qiu, why is this? Why do you have to let him film it? You clearly know that "The Legend of Shushan" has a great risk of being a hit, why do you still spend money on him? I don't understand, I really I don’t understand. Is there really no one else in Xiangjiang who can make special effects movies besides Tsui Hark? Or is it, Brother Qiu, that you take Tsui Hark too seriously, thinking that only he can do it and no one else can?"

At this time, Wen Jun finally said what was in his heart. He was just unhappy with Tsui Hark and felt that the other party was being praised too highly. He was a popular fried chicken, the director who is the best at using special effects in Hong Kong, and other condescending words. In his case, he and Zheng Danrui were nothing. When others talked about them, they would put Lin Daoqiu first and call them Lin Daoqiu's close brothers.

It was nothing at first, but as time went on, Wen Jun would get annoyed, and the resentment against Tsui Hark accumulated in his heart would only become bigger and bigger, so today he came to Lin Daoqiu to tell him that most of these things were actually It was caused by his jealousy of Tsui Hark, and of course he couldn't escape Wang Jing's instigation.

"Then you find someone to come out?"

"I……"

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wen Juan was speechless.

There are a lot of directors in Hong Kong who can make special effects movies, but apart from Tsui Hark, he really can't think of anyone else who can really make them well.

"It seems that you can't remember it for a while, but it doesn't matter. I can give you enough time to think about it. If you can't remember it today, you can think about it tomorrow. If you can't remember it tomorrow, you can continue to think about it the day after tomorrow. I believe you can always think about it. I’ll think about it one day, but I’m afraid it will take time.”

Wen Jun didn't know how to answer Lin Daoqiu's ridicule. Although he was very angry, he had to say that he really couldn't think of anyone who could compare with Tsui Hark in making special effects movies.

But at this moment, Zheng Danrui, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke.

"I thought of a person who might be able to give Old Xu a try."

"Oh, tell me about it, Ari."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Zheng Danrui with curiosity. He also wanted to hear what kind of person Zheng Danrui could tell.

"Uncle Jiu, if it's Uncle Jiu, I believe he can compete with Lao Xu in special effects movies, or at least he won't fall behind."

The uncle Zheng Danrui mentioned was Lin Zhengying, but after he finished speaking, the three people present, including Lin Daoqiu, all stared wide-eyed, because Lin Zhengying did not look like a person who could make special effects movies. If He's really good at making supernatural movies, but special effects movies might be a bit difficult for him, right?

"I know Brother Qiu and you all think I'm joking, and even wonder if I'm drunk to say this, but in my opinion, being able to make special effects movies and being able to use special effects technology well are actually the same thing, Uncle Jiu Although his specialty is supernatural films, Brother Qiu has made extensive use of special effects technology in films and TV dramas about supernatural tomb robbing since he filmed "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"." "Do you still remember the script of "Tomb Raiders"? It has been written, and now we are waiting to start shooting. I think I can let Uncle Jiu direct this drama, and then we can compete with "The Legend of Shushan" to see how the two dramas turn out in the end."

Wen Jun nodded quickly after hearing this. Since there is no way to convince Lin Daoqiu, let's compete with Tsui Hark. Everyone is a special effects movie, and the investment in "Tomb Raiders" will not be that small. Watch it then Let's see whether his "The Legend of Shushan" is better or their "Tomb Raiders Notes".

"That's not fair."

After Zheng Danrui finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly said that the other party's proposal was unfair.

But Lin Daoqiu is right. Although both movies are special effects movies, the audience of "The Legend of Shushan" is obviously smaller than the audience of "Tomb Raiders". Even "Tomb Raiders" can be sold to other regions. Even those who don't understand Chinese culture can understand the plot through translation, but the same cannot be said for "The Legend of Shushan". The audience's acceptance of the two themes is very different.

Wenjun was unhappy when he heard what Lin Daoqiu said. He felt that Lin Daoqiu was simply favoring Tsui Hark. If not, why was he unwilling to accept this challenge.

"Although Uncle Jiu has made a lot of movies in recent years, there is still a big gap compared to Tsui Hark. If we compare the two of them, Tsui Hark is far better than Uncle Jiu in terms of fame and popularity. I don't think so. I think Uncle Jiu is the dominant side in this competition, and Tsui Hark is the one with the most advantage."

The more Wen Juan talked, the more excited he became. It seemed that if Lin Daoqiu didn't agree to let him compete between "Tomb Robbers Notes" and "The Legend of Shushan" today, he would keep talking until Lin Daoqiu agreed.

Seeing Wen Juan, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing looking very firm in front of him, Lin Daoqiu knew that they would definitely not agree if he did not give them an accurate answer today.

I don’t know what kind of medicine these three guys took today, but they want to come here to cause trouble for me. What’s wrong with them?
"Do you really want Uncle Jiu to film "Tomb Raiders"?"

Wen Juan, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing nodded.

"If that's the case, then just shoot it and go talk to Uncle Jiu."

……

"You want to film "Tomb Raiders"?"

The story originated in 1952. Wu Laogou, the grandfather of the protagonist Wu Xie, discovered a Warring States silk book in a blood corpse tomb in Changsha, which triggered Wu Xie's adventures in solving puzzles from the silk book.

Fifty years later, Wu Xie, a seemingly innocent second generation of the Wu family, ran an antique shop after graduating from college. He lived day by day, but he did not know that his life experience was bizarre and adventurous, because he discovered a secret in the notes of his ancestors.With curiosity and a desire to see the world, he followed his third uncle and a group of master tomb robbers on their trip to the Lu Palace in order to solve the mystery of the silk book.

In the process, he met Menyoupin and Fatty.On the way, many things he had never seen in his life, or things he had never even thought about, appeared one after another.

Everything he encountered became more and more bizarre.Just when he discovered that his life was full of puzzles and wanted to seek answers, the only clue-"Third Uncle" disappeared.

Unwilling to give up, Wu Xie decided to get to the bottom of it and decide on an extraordinary but unknown adventure in the future. (End of chapter)
