Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

This is the plot of the original version of "Tomb Robbers Notes", but it obviously won't work if it is directly applied. Therefore, after many revisions, "Tomb Robbers Notes" can almost be said to have been completely changed, and the era has also been changed to the earlier period of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. In the early days, in the chaotic era of warlord rule, that was the only way to avoid unnecessary disputes.

This time, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing came to Lin Zhengying with the purpose of helping him film "Tomb Raiders" to surpass Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Shushan".

However, they also knew what kind of person Lin Zhengying was. If they told him that the purpose of filming "Tomb Robbers" this time was to compete with "The Legend of Shushan", then Lin Zhengying would probably not agree to them, so before coming, the three of them We discussed together not to tell Lin Zhengying the purpose of filming "Tomb Raiders", but only said that Brother Qiu wanted to start the movie with him.

"No problem. If Mr. Lin thinks I can do it, then I'll give it a try."

Lin Zhengying is still as humble as ever. He is very good at supernatural-themed film and television dramas. Even though the main focus this time is special effects, Lin Zhengying does not think that he will be able to successfully film "Tomb Raiders". In Lin Zhengying's view, he This time, he can learn these advanced technologies through the filming of "Tomb Raiders" and use them in his movies in the future.

"The production cost of "Tomb Raiders" is about [-] million, so Uncle Jiu must be mentally prepared."

"[-] million production fee? Is it so high?"

Lin Zhengying didn't think too much about it at first, but when he heard that the production cost of "Tomb Robbers" was as high as hundreds of millions, his eyes immediately opened wide with a shocked expression on his face.

You must know that Lin Zhengying has never directed a film with such a high production cost before. Is this really possible?Don't be in trouble if the film fails. This is 1 million yuan. To Lin Zhengying, this is an astronomical figure. Even he doesn't know how to spend so much money on a movie.

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry about these things. Special effects production must account for at least half of the production cost. The remaining tens of millions may not be enough for you to spend, but you absolutely cannot use the money you used to make those movies before. The idea was to do Tomb Raider because it just didn’t work.”

"Fortunately, you also filmed "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and learned some special effects techniques, so this time Mr. Lin agreed to let you take on this film. This is the trust in you. Ari Ajing and I, The three of us will assist you in filming this drama, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

Whether or not Wen Jun and the others can help is not a big problem for Lin Zhengying. As long as Lin Daoqiu's script is written, and some modifications are made, and the casting is settled, "Tomb Raiders Notes" can be released directly. Entering the stage of preparation.

"By the way, what do Mr. Lin think of the characters in "Tomb Raiders"? Who has he chosen as the male lead?"

When asked by Lin Zhengying, Wen Juan was obviously stunned for a moment, because he was busy looking for Lin Zhengying before and had never thought about how to arrange the casting of "Tomb Robbers", so when the other party said this, Wen Juan just There was no time to think about who to cast.

Those who are too young will definitely not work. They don't have Lin Daoqiu's courage, so they must find someone who is famous and has good skills.

As for the role of the fat man, it was natural for Sammo Hung to play the role, and the leading role could also be played by Yuen Biao.

It's just that Sammo Hung and the others have already acted in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Wouldn't it be bad if we asked them to film "Tomb Raiders" again at this time?
"What's wrong? Did I ask the wrong question?"

Lin Zhengying found that Wen Juan didn't speak after he asked, but remained silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

As for Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing, they were obviously troubled by Lin Zhengying's question. They were also thinking about how to choose characters for "Tomb Raiders".In addition to the Iron Triangle, Wu Xie's third uncle Wu Sansheng also plays a very important role and cannot be assigned casually.

If Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao don't play, it's really not easy to find the right people.

"Wu Sansheng can be played by Yuan Biao, Wu Xie can be played by a young actor, what do you think about Qian Xiaohao? As for Fatty, Meng Hai can be played."

Lin Zhengying thought for a while and then gave his thoughts.

As for Lin Zhengying's ideas, Wen Juan neither objected nor agreed, because it would definitely be up to Lin Daoqiu to make the decision. After all, this is a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, and what they said will not work, especially in this movie. In terms of the selection of scripts and characters, Lin Daoqiu had to make the final decision.

"Write it down first, and then ask Brother Qiu what he wants when we meet him. If he doesn't have a suitable candidate, it should be decided as we said."

In fact, Wenjun was not sure whether Lin Daoqiu had his own candidate in mind. After all, "Tomb Robbers Notes" had been written for so long, so it was impossible for him not to have his own ideas about this drama.

"That's fine. In the end, Mr. Lin has the final say. I have no objection."

Lin Zhengying naturally cannot have any objections to this. After all, he is used to Lin Daoqiu making decisions. However, Lin Daoqiu has not interfered with his filming in recent years and has given him a lot of autonomy. But even so, Lin Zhengying would adopt Lin Daoqiu's opinions, and he would implement them as long as the other party said it.

The next day, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Lin Zhengying, and Wang Jing came to New Oriental to meet Lin Daoqiu.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu saw Lin Zhengying coming, he knew that Wen Juan and the other three guys had already communicated with him.

"sit down."

Lin Daoqiu asked the four people to sit down, and then looked at Wen Juan and suddenly smiled.

When he found that Lin Daoqiu was looking at him, Wen Juan felt a numb scalp. He didn't know what happened that day, but he actually thought of going to Lin Daoqiu to argue and let him cancel the investment in Tsui Hark. In the end, Lin Daoqiu They agreed to let them film "Tomb Raiders" to compete with Tsui Hark. It stands to reason that this matter has been successfully resolved.

But at that time, Wenjun went to see Lin Daoqiu in a slightly tipsy state. There is a saying that drunkenness makes people cowardly. He was very courageous at that time. After a night's sleep, Wenjun started to regret it when he got up. Considering what he did at that time, he didn't know why he suddenly had the courage to go to Lin Daoqiu.

But now that the matter has been done, there is no way to turn back, so he can only bite the bullet and not go to Lin Daoqiu to admit his mistake, because once he admits his mistake, it means that he said the wrong thing, so Wenjun can only resist the pressure and must complete "Tomb Robbery" "Notes" is finished, and I can earn back my face in front of Lin Daoqiu.
