Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 725
After staying in Yuan's class for a while, Lin Daoqiu left.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a private chat with Chen Yulian, but because of the crowd, Lin Daoqiu did not dare to do so.

But the good news is that after the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starts, there will be a long time to come, and there is still plenty of time in the future, so Lin Daoqiu is not in a hurry.

Back at the company, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Wang Jing, Huang Baiming, and Huang Ying were all waiting for him in the conference room.

Lin Daoqiu called them here to discuss the script of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The outline and main line have basically been decided, but it is impossible to shoot all the plots in a novel, unless it is a TV series.

And movies can only extract the essence, remove or omit some unnecessary plots.

"In the first part of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I plan to shoot the Town Demon Tower."

Everyone here has already briefly read "Legend of Sword and Fairy", even the part that has not been serialized.

"Brother Qiu, did Lin Yueru die in the end?"

Wen Jun was the first to ask the question. He liked the character of Lin Ruyue very much.

Not only Wen Jun, but when he asked the question, the eyes of the others all turned to Lin Daoqiu.

"You have to ask screenwriter Huang this question, he is the main writer of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Lin Daoqiu cunningly threw this problem on Huang Ying's head.

In fact, when Huang Ying wrote "Legend of Sword and Fairy", although it was a propositional composition at the beginning, as he wrote it, he inevitably began to incorporate his own feelings.

He felt that in "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Lin Daoqiu controlled the character setting of the characters very well, which made him write smoothly.

Seeing that everyone had already turned their heads towards him, Huang Ying could only say with a smile.

"If you want to know, it will be clear when you watch the finale."

In fact, Huang Ying still doesn't know what Lin Daoqiu's arrangement for Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger is.

Because the outline he got now did not explain whether these two people were dead or alive in the end.

If possible, Huang Ying certainly hopes that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can have a happy ending.

Because Huang Ying still needs to continue writing novels, he doesn't have much time to participate in script writing.

So this time, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to act as the main writer of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", with several other people assisting.

Although Lin Daoqiu has watched the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it is obviously unrealistic for him to copy the lengthy TV series plot into the movie.

"About this movie, do you have any good recommendations, such as the director of this movie?"

If it was a TV series, Lin Daoqiu would not have too high requirements for the director. Originally, what he thought was to let Yuan Heping be the director of this drama.

But Lin Daoqiu thought about it carefully, and it is better to let him be the martial arts instructor. After all, he still has high pursuit in this drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

At first, everyone thought that the director of this film must be Lin Daoqiu, but from what he said, it seemed that he still planned to be the producer of this film.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui glanced at each other, but immediately shook their heads.

Because it is absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to let them direct this drama, so don't even think about it.

Huang Baiming's script is good, but comedy is what he is best at. He himself never thought of directing "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Mr. Lin, what request do you have?"

Wang Jing was the first to speak. Listening to what he said, it seemed that he intended to compete for the directorship of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But Wang Jing had asked Lin Daoqiu as early as the beginning, and he got a negative answer at that time.

"The director of this film must have a solid foundation in Chinese culture and have experience in shooting martial arts movies. Of course, he can't be too stubborn."

Lin Daoqiu originally thought that Wang Jing still had thoughts about the director of this film, so he thought about it, and then gave the above conditions.

Except for the last one, it can be said that Wang Jing does not meet the requirements.

But the strange thing is that after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wang Jing lowered his head and looked in deep thought. It seemed that he was serious about helping Lin Daoqiu find candidates.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu didn't expect Wang Jing to come up with any good suggestions.

But a few minutes later, Wang Jing raised his head again, and said to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, I have a very suitable candidate here. He has a wealth of Chinese culture and is very good at making this kind of martial arts movies, but there is only one thing. He is quite stubborn."

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect Wang Jing to come up with a suitable candidate so quickly, but he wanted to hear who Wang Jing was looking for.

"I don't know who Director Wang is going to recommend."

"Director Hu Jinquan Hu, Mr. Lin may have seen his films, such as "Dragon Inn", "The Drunk Man", "Xia Nv" and "Spiritual Rain in the Empty Mountains."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that Wang Jing would recommend Hu Jinquan to direct "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It has to be said that looking at the long history of Chinese martial arts movies, Hu Jinquan is absolutely inescapable.

His films are full of poetic and romantic chivalrous feelings, and he is very particular about costumes and lighting, and no mistakes are allowed. Sometimes it is common to wait for many days for a single shot.

Hu Jinquan's grandfather used to be a Hanlin. He was influenced by ancient Chinese culture since he was a child, and he has a high attainment in traditional Chinese culture. When shooting movies, he grasped the historical details to the degree of almost cleanliness.

He has a profound knowledge of Chinese culture, familiarity with history, and he has unique insights in the pattern and style of vision.

If "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be directed by Hu Jinquan, Lin Daoqiu believes that this movie will definitely be very exciting.

However, Hu Jinquan has a very stubborn temper. Like most artists, he has high requirements for the films he directs, and he doesn't like others to dictate to him.

Later generations Tsui Hark asked Hu Jinquan to film "Swordsman", and the two cooperated well in the beginning.

But because of the revision of the script and the different ideas, the two finally parted ways, which has to be said to be a pity.

Finding that Lin Daoqiu didn't speak, and lowered his head as if he was thinking seriously, everyone stopped discussing.

"Let me think about it."

If I ask Hu Jinquan to direct "Legend of Sword and Fairy", then I can't have too many opinions on this drama.

But if it is really for the good of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", then it is the most correct choice to invite Hu Jinquan to shoot.

The people present didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu was so entangled, but since he said so, they couldn't say anything more.
