Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 728 Only They Can Play
The protagonist found a group of unknown people, at least in the film industry, Leslie Cheung and Chen Yulian can basically be said to be newcomers at this time, let alone Li Saifeng.

Hu Jinquan even speculated that the supporting roles in this drama might be more famous than these protagonists.

Now that the protagonists have chosen a group of young people, Hu Jinquan's expectations for this drama have not been as great as before.

He even felt that this was just a very ordinary movie, maybe it was just a game for Lin Daoqiu to test the water.

Fortunately, I didn't agree to it right away, otherwise I would have no choice but to reject it now.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, when making martial arts movies, Xiangjiang also has many powerful characters. Chu Yuan and Zhang Che are also the best among them. Their abilities are not inferior to mine."

Although Hu Jinquan didn't say it clearly, he seemed to mean that he was going to decline Lin Daoqiu's play.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't named the starring role, he might not have guessed why Hu Jinquan rejected him.

But now, he can probably guess that Hu Jinquan didn't want to follow up because the protagonists he found were not big enough.

"Director Hu, in addition to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Xiangjiang has a movie about fairy tales in the making. I wonder if you have heard Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman"."

Hu Jinquan had heard about "New Shushan Swordsman" before.

And what he cares most about here is that Bao Shaogang actually spends a lot of money, spending 5000 million Hong Kong dollars on Tsui Hark to make this movie.

Hu Jinquan himself is actually very envious, but he also knows that he may not have a chance in this life, and he can have such a good opportunity as Tsui Hark.

"I heard from friends before that the production cost of that film was as high as 5000 million. When "New Shushan Swordsman" is filmed, I want to see it first."

Hu Jinquan would like to see what can be achieved in a martial arts movie that spent 5000 million yuan.

Although Lin Daoqiu tried his best to put "New Shushan Swordsman" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into the category of fairy tale movies.

However, Hu Jinquan still subconsciously believes that although these two films are fairy tale movies, they are actually just wearing martial arts skins, and there will not be much difference.

"Here, I can tell Director Hu that the production cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will not be lower than that of "New Shushan Swordsman."

Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman" will only be filmed in one, but Lin Daoqiu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be divided into two parts.

Although it sounds that the production cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very high, but in terms of unit price, Tsui Hark is still better.

However, these did not hinder. Hu Jinquan immediately showed a shocked expression on his face after listening.

Since Lin Daoqiu said this in front of his face, there must be no falsehood in this matter.

Hu Jinquan couldn't help getting excited when he thought that he had the opportunity to direct a movie worth more than 5000 million yuan.

Originally, he thought that Lin Daoqiu didn't pay much attention to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but now that he looked at it this way, he might have misunderstood the other party.

But the excitement is the excitement, although Hu Jinquan has made up his mind to win this drama, but he still has to discuss with Lin Daoqiu about the casting.

"Mr. Lin, since you plan to spend so much money on this film, I think you should be more cautious in casting the cast."

Hu Jinquan thought very simply, since there is such a large budget, the cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" must be the top few in the Chinese world, otherwise, how could it be worthy of such a large production fee.

Regarding casting, Lin Daoqiu was very persistent, because he believed that the candidates he chose were the most suitable candidates.

"The protagonists of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are all between 16 and 18 years old. I think Leslie Cheung and the others are very suitable. It is inappropriate to replace them with other big-name stars in terms of age."

Although Lin Daoqiu really wanted to invite Hu Jinquan to direct this film, if he hired some actors with unsuitable appearance conditions for the sake of fame, Lin Daoqiu would never allow it.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, novels belong to novels, and movies belong to movies. All the movies adapted from novels will definitely have some differences from the original works. These are normal situations."

Hu Jinquan still insisted that Leslie Cheung and the others must be replaced. Even though he has never even seen the three leading actors, he still insisted on doing so.

But it's a pity that Hu Jinquan met Lin Daoqiu this time. Since he has already made his decision, he will not change it casually.

Moreover, Hu Jinquan's statement that he wanted to change roles did not impress Lin Daoqiu, so he naturally would not agree to the other party's request.

"Director Hu, I don't know about others, but the overall setting of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" must not be too different from the novel. If you are really in a difficult situation, I will not force it."

Lin Daoqiu seldom uttered such serious words in front of others.

Because saying something like this already means that Lin Daoqiu doesn't really want to ask him to direct this play.

When Hu Jinquan heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze. He didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so stubborn.

"Director Hu, Mr. Lin attaches great importance to "Legend of Sword and Fairy". He deliberately put down a lot of things in his hands and flew to Baodao to meet you. This is enough to show Mr. Lin's sincerity. "

Wu Chou helped out from the side. Based on his understanding of Lin Daoqiu, since he had already made up his mind, he would definitely not change it.

If it was Wu Chou, Lin Daoqiu would do what Lin Daoqiu said when it came to filming, and he would never have any thoughts.

When Xu Fu was still on the TV station, Lin Daoqiu caught his eye. At that time, he thought that Xu Fu had no chance of becoming a star at all.

However, over the past few years, the star in Changhong Film Company, who made the most money for him, was Xu Bu who he didn't like at the beginning.

Since then, Wu Chou has cast her eyes on Lin Daoqiu's admiration.

Hu Jinquan groaned and did not say a word. In fact, this opportunity was extremely good for him. He only needed to shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy" according to Lin Daoqiu's intention, and he didn't need to worry about other things at all.

It can be said that this movie is the most worry-free movie he has ever received since he started film work.

You don't need to worry about the shortage of funds, and you don't need to worry about the promotion of the film and issues such as schedules. It can be said that even the most picky director will happily continue this film.

"Mr. Lin, how about this, I will accompany you back to Xiangjiang tomorrow, and arrange for those three to audition, if they pass the test, then do as you want, but if they don't pass the test, then do as I want Change corners."

Hu Jinquan took a step back first, planning to think of a way in the audition to invite these three people away quietly.

But it is a pity that Lin Daoqiu sternly rejected Hu Jinquan's small abacus before he had time to dial it.

"This play can only be played by them."
