Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 670 No Return
From the next day, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" jumped from 12 copies per day to [-] copies a day, and it seems that there is a continuous upward trend.

In addition to ordinary novel readers and Lin Daoqiu's fans paying attention to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", there are also many people in the film and television circle who have noticed this novel.

I don't know how many times I have read it. Since I got this newspaper, Tsui Hark has been flipping it back and forth.

Although there are very few plots serialized in newspapers, Tsui Hark felt that it was really unusual for Lin Daoqiu to suddenly write a novel.

But in fact, the author of the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" clearly wrote about Lin Daoqiu and Huang Ying.

But almost everyone ignored Huang Ying's name, and put all their attention on Lin Daoqiu.

"Are you still watching?"

Zeng Zhiwei walked in from the outside and found that Tsui Hark was still reading the newspaper, so he knew that he must still be studying "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Mr. Lin suddenly started writing novels, don't you find it curious?"

Tsui Hark put down the newspaper, and then looked at Zeng Zhiwei seriously.

Shaking his head, Zeng Zhiwei didn't know what to say. It was really puzzling that Lin Daoqiu suddenly wrote a novel.

"Have you ever thought about it, in fact, Mr. Lin's purpose in doing this is to test the water."

"Testing the water? Do you mean that this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the next movie that Mr. Lin will make?"

Zeng Zhiwei immediately understood the meaning of Tsui Hark's words.

If this is the case, then they really have to study the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"To be precise, I guess Mr. Lin's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is aimed at my "New Shushan Swordsman"."

Having said this, Tsui Hark suddenly showed a confident smile on his face.

Zeng Zhiwei did not expect Tsui Hark to be able to laugh at this time.

"Then what should we do?"

After listening to Tsui Hark's explanation, Zeng Zhiwei was in a hurry.

Because at this time, he already subconsciously believed that Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman" would definitely lose to Lin Daoqiu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Although Zeng Zhiwei has switched to Bao Shaogang's side, he has been with Lin Daoqiu for some years after all.

From before to now, Zeng Zhiwei has never met Lin Daoqiu, who has paid so much attention to a person.

If the two dramas really compete at that time, Zeng Zhiwei feels that the chances of Tsui Hark winning are very small.

"What can I do? Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil. Is it possible that I have to run away?"

Tsui Hark couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Zeng Zhiwei.

Although Lin Daoqiu puts a lot of pressure on him, sometimes the pressure can become motivation.

After all, not everyone can enjoy the opportunity to face Lin Daoqiu head-on, which also means that the other party recognizes his ability.

Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help asking Tsui Hark.

"Do you think you can win Mr. Lin?"

Although he is in a hostile camp, Zeng Zhiwei still has a very deep understanding of Lin Daoqiu's strength.

Even though Tsui Hark got Bao Shaogang's 5000 million production fee, Zeng Zhiwei still didn't think that Lin Daoqiu could be defeated just by doing this.

Although compared with the Bao family, Lin Daoqiu's financial resources are not to be feared at all.

But the production fee of tens of millions is not a problem for him at all.

If Lin Daoqiu also spends 5000 million to shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zeng Zhiwei believes that Tsui Hark will have no chance of winning by then.

"I don't know if I win or not, but I must do my best when the time comes. It doesn't matter if I lose in the end, but if I can win, then I will make a lot of money."

Tsui Hark's mentality is very stable, he knows that compared with Lin Daoqiu, he still has a lot of shortcomings.

But this "New Shushan Swordsman", he has put a lot of energy into it. Even if he can't win Lin Daoqiu by then, he must at least make this movie a classic.

"Old Xu, I'm afraid you didn't understand what I meant. What I mean is that you can only win and not lose in this play."

Zeng Zhiwei was in a hurry, because he felt that Tsui Hark seemed to think about this matter too simply.

Tsui Hark looked at Zeng Zhiwei suspiciously, he couldn't figure out what the other party meant by this sentence.

Zeng Zhiwei moved closer to Tsui Hark's side, and then spoke to the other party in a low voice.

"Bao Shaogang invested 5000 million in you just to overwhelm Mr. Lin. If you don't win by then, do you think Bao Shaogang will continue to invest in you?"

Tsui Hark looked very relaxed at first, but after listening to Zeng Zhiwei's words, he also became nervous.

His current situation is completely different from before, and he can no longer go wherever he wants.

If Bao Shaogang doesn't want him here, then Tsui Hark can be said to have nowhere to go.

At this time, Xiangjiang has two major cinema chains, one is Bao Shaogang and Golden Harvest’s Baojia Cinemas, and the other is Lin Daoqiu’s New Oriental Cinemas.

Tsui Hark betrayed New Oriental, so naturally he couldn't go back. If Baojia didn't want him, then he would have no place in Xiangjiang.

"At that time, Xiangjiang will no longer have a foothold for you. In the end, you can only go to Baodao, but I heard that the relationship between Mr. Lin and Mulian is not ordinary."

Zeng Zhiwei's father, Zeng Qirong, nicknamed Zeng Baacha, used to be the sergeant of the uniformed police station. After being exposed for corruption, he fled to Baodao and settled down there.

Because of his father, Zeng Zhiwei would go to Baodao from time to time, so he knew something about Baodao.

Originally, Tsui Hark looked full of confidence at first, but after listening to Zeng Zhiwei's words, he immediately became nervous.

If there is no way to film in the future, Tsui Hark doesn't even know what is the point of being alive.

"Hey... Because of this, I hope you will do your best. If you can't win against Mr. Lin, you may have to change places to film."

After Zeng Zhiwei finished speaking, he reached out and patted Tsui Hark on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.

Tsui Hark, who was in a good mood at first, was so confused by Zeng Zhiwei's words, but now the expression on his face has become very serious.

…………

Not only people in the film industry are paying attention to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but many people on the TV station are also interested in this novel.

As the director of "Student Police Attack", Li Tiansheng has been busy with filming during this period.

Rarely having time to spare, he accidentally turned to the "Oriental Daily" and discovered the existence of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" on it.

After watching the series, Li Tiansheng felt that if "Legend of Sword and Fairy" could be adapted into a TV series, it might be a big success.

So he immediately took the newspaper and went directly to Fang Yihua's office.
