Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 47 You Come to Play Ip Man (Please recommend tickets)

Regarding Ye Zhun's question, Lin Daoqiu was actually very troubled at the beginning.

There are still actors who are suitable to play Ip Man, but the problem is that the handsome ones can't fight, the ones who can fight are not handsome, and the handsome ones who can fight are in TVB.

With the current relationship between Li's and Wireless, it's nonsense to borrow someone from Fang Yihua. If the other party doesn't trip you up, it's considered a great favor.

"This person should not be too old, and must have a certain foundation in martial arts, and his personality must be mature and stable, so that he can be more in line with Master Ye's image."

These are Lin Daoqiu's own thoughts on the image of Ip Man, and in later generations, everyone's image of Ip Man comes from Donnie Yen, and Lin Daoqiu is naturally influenced.

But for Lin Daoqiu, without Donnie Yen's gems in front of him, it was relatively easy for him to shape Ip Man, and there was more room for adaptation.

"I don't know anything about the entertainment industry, but from Mr. Lin's words, you probably have someone you like, right?"

Ye Zhun is still very satisfied with the image standards that Lin Daoqiu just mentioned, but he doesn't know who the other party will invite to play his father.

"It's hard to find such a person. He must know martial arts, has a steady personality, and can't have anything to do with wireless. If it was me, I would definitely not be able to think of it."

Lin Zhengying felt that he couldn't help with this matter, and he was also curious about who Lin Daoqiu would find to play Ip Man.

And just after he finished speaking, he found that Lin Daoqiu was looking at him with a smile, looking at Lin Zhengying with horror, he couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu looked at him like this.

It would have been fine if Lin Daoqiu was the only one looking at him like this, but at this moment Ye Zhun seemed to have thought of something, and he also turned to look at Lin Zhengying without saying a word.

Lin Zhengying, who was confused, didn't understand why they were looking at him like this. He looked puzzled and asked, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

After Lin Zhengying finished speaking, she wiped her face with her hands and found that nothing was wiped out, so why are they looking at her like this?
"Mr. Lin knows martial arts?" Ye Zhun suddenly asked something that surprised Lin Zhengying.

"I learned Peking Opera from Master Fen Juhua when I was a child, and became a dragon and tiger martial artist after graduation. Now I am a member of the Hong family class." Lin Zhengying briefly described her experience.

Ye Zhun nodded as he listened, but he didn't say anything after asking, just kept staring at Lin Zhengying, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding, not knowing what he meant.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Lin Zhengying felt that if he was watched like this, he would go crazy sooner or later, so he directly asked his doubts.

But Ye Zhun didn't answer him, but turned to Lin Daoqiu and said: "Well, let him learn Wing Chun here for a while, since he is going to play my father, he still needs to know about Wing Chun Some."

Only then did Lin Zhengying understand why they were staring at him like this. It turned out that Lin Daoqiu wanted him to play the role of Ip Man.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhengying stood up from the chair in surprise, and then looked at Lin Daoqiu with a shocked expression.

"Brother Ying, don't get excited. I really can't find anyone. It just so happens that you meet all these requirements, so I can only trouble you to be the leading actor this time."

Lin Zhengying couldn't help being excited, he wasn't mentally prepared at all, Lin Daoqiu actually directly asked him to be the leading actor.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Zhengying shook her head again and again and said, "No, no, no... I can't do it, Mr. Lin should change someone else, I can't be the leading actor."

"How do you know you can't act if you haven't tried it? Just treat it as a favor for me." Lin Daoqiu began to persuade Lin Zhengying.

"I'm not pretty enough, and I'm old. How can I play a grand master? If people know that I'm overestimated, I can't, I really can't act in this scene."

Lin Zhengying actually never thought that he could be a leading actor. His current idea is to learn how to be a good director. Acting has become his second choice.

"It doesn't matter. What I want to shoot is the story of Master Ye when he was in his 30s. Your current appearance is quite suitable. Just a little makeup will be fine."

In the face of handsome boys and kung fu, Lin Daoqiu chose kung fu without hesitation. What he wanted to shoot was a TV series that could inspire people's fighting spirit, not that kind of bloody idol drama.

Invite a pretty boy, find a beautiful actress from Cong Li, and then use a stand-in for martial arts, and just use a few well-established moves when filming starts. It is a waste of Lin Daoqiu's time to shoot such a TV series.

"Mr. Lin, please find someone else, I really can't do it." Lin Zhengying looked embarrassed, he was not pretending, but really didn't want to take this role.

But Lin Daoqiu shook his head. He looked at Lin Zhengying solemnly and said, "This role belongs to you. Please Brother Ying help me with this. I'm not joking."

Standing in that at a loss, Lin Zhengying didn't know how to reject the male lead, and now it seemed that he couldn't do it.

"Aying, you don't need to worry so much. Since Mr. Lin is so optimistic about you, there must be a reason for him to be optimistic about you." Ye Zhun also stood up to help Lin Daoqiu persuade Lin Zhengying.

Originally, Lin Zhengying was still hesitating how to refuse, but under the double offensive of Lin Daoqiu and Ye Zhun, he finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Don't blame me if you can't shoot well at that time."

"It must be because of my relationship that the bad filming is not good. Brother Ying, don't worry about it. Your current job is to learn Wing Chun here. I will give you a month. The theory cannot reach the master level, but you must at least be able to fight. Presentable."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that Lin Zhengying could learn so thoroughly in a month, he only hoped that when fighting, he must bring out the characteristics of Wing Chun.

Realizing that she couldn't hide, Lin Zhengying nodded helplessly, agreeing to take over the role of Ye Wen.

"Thank you Brother Ying." Lin Daoqiu stood up, stepped forward and patted the depressed Lin Zhengying.

Lin Zhengying wanted to stay and learn Wing Chun with Ye Zhun, and during this month, he had to come to learn boxing whenever he had time, but it was Lin Zhengying's big profit to be taught by Ye Zhun himself.

It is really rare to be able to be taught by someone at the level of a master like Ye Zhun. If it wasn't because Lin Zhengying wanted to play Ye Wen, it is not certain whether Ye Zhun would teach him in person.

After finishing the matter of the male lead, Lin Daoqiu went to Li's TV station with a happy mood.

Before, he and Huang Xizhao made an appointment to meet in the morning, but now it was almost noon, and Lin Daoqiu was still missing. Huang Xizhao felt a little puzzled, so he called Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui over to ask questions.

The two of them didn't know why Lin Daoqiu hadn't come at this time. They thought it might be because Lin Daoqiu drank too much last night, so he overslept.

But Huang Xizhao didn't think so, he even started to worry about Lin Daoqiu repenting?But the contract has already been signed, and if he repents, he will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

If Lin Daoqiu could go back on his word, there was only one possibility, that was Fang Yihua approached him last night and promised him a generous reward not to help Li's film a TV series.

Huang Xizhao, who became more and more uneasy as he thought about it, was ready to go to Lin Daoqiu's house to find out in person, but just when he was about to leave, Lin Daoqiu came late.
