Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 626 I Can't Write
"Probably not. Mr. Lin's ability to write scripts is better than mine."

As soon as Wang Tiancheng finished speaking, Gu Long shook his head and rejected his conjecture.

If Lin Daoqiu wanted to invite him to New Oriental, he would definitely not wait until now to speak.

And based on Gu Long's understanding of Lin Daoqiu, he himself is a very good screenwriter.

Although I have written a good novel, if it is made into a film and television drama, it is far inferior to the scripts written by Lin Daoqiu.

And even if Lin Daoqiu really needed the script, he wouldn't invite himself over.

He has so many novels, he can take those novels and adapt them, there is no need to invite himself.

When Wang Tiancheng heard it, he felt that what Gu Long said made sense, so he didn't continue to guess.

Since Lin Daoqiu was the host, he went to the restaurant first, and after ordering the dishes, he drank tea in the box and waited for Gu Long and the others.

When the waiter brought Gu Long and Wang Tiancheng to Lin Daoqiu's box.

As soon as they entered, Lin Daoqiu immediately stood up from his chair.

"Long time no see, Mr. Gu Long is still handsome."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu saw Gu Long enter the door, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands with him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Daoqiu invited Gu Long and Wang Tiancheng to their seats.

"Mr. Lin didn't come all the way from Xiangjiang to treat me to dinner?"

After Gu Long sat down, he first asked jokingly. He didn't even think that Lin Daoqiu came here from Xiangjiang to find him.

He felt that Lin Daoqiu came to Treasure Island because he had something to deal with, and he just treated him to a meal by the way.

But what Gu Long didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu nodded and admitted directly.

"You're right. I took a plane to Beishi early in the morning, and I called you as soon as I arrived at the hotel."

Lin Daoqiu made a special trip to find Gu Long, so he wanted to get this matter settled as soon as possible.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he was on the phone, Gu Long hadn't woken up yet, and he was still sleeping.

Wang Tiancheng next to him had no chance to interrupt, so he could only drink tea with his head down.

"Mr. Lin is in such a hurry to find me? Is there something urgent? Do you need to make a special trip?"

Gu Long couldn't figure it out, if Lin Daoqiu really needed to find him for something urgent, he could just make a phone call, why bother to make such a special trip?
After all, the other party is also the big boss of a film company, and I'm afraid he has endless things to do every day.

To let him make a special trip to Treasure Island to find him, I am afraid that this matter for him to help should not be a trivial matter.

"In fact, the thing is like this. I came up with a story, but my skills are too weak to write anything good, so I thought of Mr. Gu Long."

When Lin Daoqiu was talking, he kept looking at Gu Long. After he finished speaking, he smiled at Gu Long.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Gu Long finally understood why he made a special trip to Treasure Island to find him.

If Lin Daoqiu had said this on the phone, he probably would not have agreed, because the manuscript in his hand had been scheduled for decades.

He can't finish his current manuscripts, so how can he have time to help others write manuscripts.

However, Lin Daoqiu made this special trip, which can be said to have given him enough face, at least to reject him in person, Gu Long really couldn't say that.

"Did you bring the outline? Show me."

Gu Long neither agreed nor refused, but only said that he wanted to read the manuscript first.

He was just curious about what kind of script a famous screenwriter like Lin Daoqiu could write.

Lin Daoqiu carried the manuscript with him. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he immediately handed over the outline he had written from his bag to Gu Long.

After receiving Lin Daoqiu's manuscript, Gu Long poured himself a glass of wine, then drank while reading the manuscript.

Wang Tiancheng was curious about the manuscript written by Lin Daoqiu, but he would not read it casually without the other party's permission.

After more than ten minutes, Gu Long put down Lin Daoqiu's manuscript.

"This story is very ordinary."

According to the outline given by Lin Daoqiu, if Gu Long can give such an evaluation, it is considered to be giving him face.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid Gu Long wouldn't even have the desire to look at it.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think about it himself. After reading the outline of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Gu Long was astonished at himself, and then bowed his head.

After all, how could someone as proud as Gu Long easily admire others.

Not to mention that the story of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is actually very ordinary, at least in Lin Daoqiu's outline, the potential of this drama is not visible at all.

Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing Gu Long's answer, Lin Daoqiu's heart couldn't help sinking.

"It's you, Mr. Lin, who dare to ask me to write such a story. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have kicked him out."

Gu Long didn't treat Lin Daoqiu particularly politely just because the other party was Lin Daoqiu, he still said whatever he wanted.

And when Gu Long finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu thought that the other party had declined his request.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, how could a master of martial arts like Gu Long easily write books for others.

But just after Lin Daoqiu thought that this matter was completely over, Gu Long suddenly changed the subject.

"Although I can't write it for you, I can recommend you someone whose style is very similar to mine."

Lin Daoqiu, who originally thought it would be useless, raised his head in surprise when he heard that Gu Long agreed to come down.

Hearing what Gu Long said, Lin Daoqiu was very curious, wondering who he wanted to recommend to him.

After all, from Jin Yong to Gu Long, and then Liang Yusheng, Lin Daoqiu has thought about all the masters of martial arts novels.

However, in his opinion, Gu Long is the most suitable to write "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But now the other party actually said that he wanted to recommend someone to himself, and his style was very similar to him.

Lin Daoqiu had never heard of anyone whose style was similar to Gu Long.

So when Gu Long said this, Lin Daoqiu immediately felt very curious.

"This man's name is Huang Ying. He is currently working as a screenwriter for ATV in Xiangjiang, and he is actually a writer."

The Huang Ying that Gu Long mentioned, Lin Daoqiu's impression seemed to be that he didn't know this person.

But in fact, this Huang Ying has written such as "The Change of the Silkworm" and "The Hero Shen Shengyi" before.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu didn't pay much attention to ATV, so he didn't have much impression of Huang Ying.

However, since the other party was recommended by Gu Long, Lin Daoqiu felt that the level of this writer named Huang Ying should not be much worse.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu decided to give it a try first. After all, now that there is no way to invite Gu Long, if someone can help him write this "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it will be regarded as a great achievement for him. acceptable result.
