Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 732 Meet and chat

Originally, Li Hanxiang was worried that Lin Daoqiu would put forward some harsh conditions.

But what he didn't expect was that after Lin Daoqiu said the conditions, Li Hanxiang was taken aback on the spot, and then he could only show a wry smile.

Even the corner of Wang Jing's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times after hearing this.

Lin Daoqiu's request is actually not too much, but if someone who doesn't know Hu Jinquan well will be puzzled when he hears Lin Daoqiu's request.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu's request is very simple, that is, no one similar to Jin Yiwei is allowed to appear in "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

From "Dragon Inn" to "Swordsman" in most of the martial arts movies directed by Hu Jinquan, Jin Yiwei can be said to be an unstoppable villain.

Lin Daoqiu was worried that if he didn't say anything, it would be a bit of a spoiler if Hu Jinquan suddenly added Jin Yiwei into the play.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I can agree to this matter on behalf of Jin Quan."

This is just a trivial matter, and it is not a big problem for Li Hanxiang. He can completely replace Hu Jinquan to make the decision.

Moreover, this drama is based on the novel, Hu Jinquan will not change too much, and Lin Daoqiu will not let him make too many changes.

After the matter was settled, Li Hanxiang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he was not as stiff when talking as before.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Daoqiu sent Li Hanxiang to the car.

As soon as Li Hanxiang got home, he immediately called Hu Jinquan.

"Jin Quan, Mr. Lin has already agreed that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be directed by you."

Hu Jinquan on the other end of the phone was also very happy when he heard what Li Hanxiang said.

And Hu Jinquan also knew that if Li Hanxiang hadn't told him to run this time, the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" would definitely not have fallen on his head.

"Brother, I will definitely make this movie well, and I won't let you work in vain."

Hu Jinquan, who was on the other end of the phone, was already a little choked up when he said this.

Both of them have reached the age of 50, although they have senior seniority in the film industry.

But the disbandment of Shaw Brothers was a big blow to Hu Jinquan and Li Hanxiang.

At this time, Xiangjiang set off a wave of new wave movies. These directors of the previous generation are no longer as prestigious as they were back then.

This time he finally got this opportunity, Hu Jinquan also figured it out, he must grasp it well.

"Jin Quan, in fact, Mr. Lin is very talkative, as long as you grasp this opportunity well, maybe I will have to rely on you to support me in the future, haha..."

Li Hanxiang is very optimistic. He feels that as long as Hu Jinquan makes this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" well, he believes that there will be more and better works waiting for him in the future.

As for the condition mentioned by Lin Daoqiu, Li Hanxiang talked about it with Hu Jinquan on the phone.

"This Mr. Lin... is really an interesting person."

Hu Jinquan was stunned for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Now that he has taken over the "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Hu Jinquan can only give up the directorship of "The Great Reincarnation".

The next day, he went to the crew, invited producer Zhong Zhenhong and producer Liao Xiangxiong, and told them about his decision.

At first, the two thought that Hu Jinquan was feeling unwell, so they could only resign from the position of director.

But when they heard that Hu Jinquan was invited by Lin Daoqiu to make a movie, both of them showed surprise on their faces.

Lin Daoqiu's reputation in Treasure Island is no less than that of Xiangjiang. The movies he made before have all won box office champions in Treasure Island.

"I have read some "Legend of Sword and Fairy". It is said that this is the first novel written by Mr. Lin."

Liao Xiangxiong is not simple at all. He once went to the United States to work and study for a master's degree in radio, television and film.

Afterwards, he returned to Baodao and successively worked in educational television stations, the film room of the Information Bureau, and the National Education Data Center.

He was favored by Yilian Company for publishing an article in a newspaper, and was invited to direct the first feature film "Wu Sheng Guan Gong", and then signed a three-year basic director contract with China Film Group.

After 1980, he was transferred to an official position, and first worked as the director of the Taiwan Provincial Film Studio.

Afterwards, he passed the first-class special examination and was qualified to be officially appointed as a civil servant. Then he was transferred to the Information Bureau, and became the director of the film business department all the way from the deputy director of the audiovisual department.

What happened to Lin Daoqiu in Treasure Island before, he knows some inside information that others don't.

Because of Hao Xiangxiao's extortion of Lin Daoqiu, he actually blocked Lin Daoqiu, and then almost made a scene internationally.

Although China Film and the Information Bureau later jointly held a press conference, claiming that the banning of Lin Daoqiu was the negligence of their staff, and then they were perfunctory.

As for Lin Daoqiu, everyone seemed to have forgotten him, no matter whether it was China Film Group or relevant people in Baodao.

From then on, Lin Daoqiu and Bao Dao had almost no interaction.

As the director of the film business department, Liao Xiangxiong understands Lin Daoqiu's international status and role better than those bureaucrats.

If he can actively run for Baodao, or cooperate with Baodao, it will be of great help to enhance their international status.

Hu Jinquan didn't know what was going on in Liao Xiangxiong's mind at this time, he came today just to resign the director, and then went to Xiangjiang to prepare for the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Director Hu, I haven't met Mr. Lin before. I wonder if I can go to Xiangjiang with you this time to meet and chat with Mr. Lin."

Liao Xiangxiong's sudden request made Hu Jinquan stunned for a moment, because Liao Xiangxiong was not only the producer of this drama, but also a big official.

"That's not a problem, but if Director Liao wants to go, I have to ask Mr. Lin first."

Hu Jinquan will not do everything, after all, he should be careful when it comes to matters related to Baodao.

In case Lin Daoqiu didn't like to provoke these people, wouldn't it make Lin Daoqiu feel disgusted by bringing Liao Xiangxiong there?

"Then leave it to Director Hu."

Liao Xiangxiong smiled, and then turned the conversation to another place.

As soon as Hu Jinquan left, Liao Xiangxiong handed over the matter to producer Zhong Zhenhong, and he got into the car and went straight to the Information Bureau.

At this time, everything related to movies in Baodao is under the unified jurisdiction of the Information Bureau.

After arriving at the Information Bureau, Liao Xiangxiong went straight to the director's office, ready to report to him.

At this time, Baodao's news bureau chief, named Song Yaolian, was only in his early forties this year, and he had been the news bureau chief for four years. Before that, he had also participated in Lin Daoqiu's banning investigation.
