Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 880 Resignation
"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry to delay your work."

Xie Xian came to Lin Daoqiu's office the next day, and Wang Jing was with him.

Although the other party hasn't spoken yet, Lin Daoqiu has already guessed why Xie Xian came to him today.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan and Wang Jing were so efficient and could persuade Xie Xian to give up the role of Li Xunhuan so quickly.

"Fourth brother, you are welcome, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu made a gesture of invitation, and Xie Xian sat down opposite Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu guessed Xie Xian's purpose right now.

After going back and discussing with Deborah carefully, Xie Xian finally made a decision to give up the role of Li Xunhuan and take on Wang Jing's new movie.

It's not that he has much confidence in Wang Jing's movies, it's just that at his age, it's really difficult for him to shoot high-intensity martial arts scenes.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu's TV series, not to mention the long filming cycle, have high requirements on physical fitness, and the leading actor's play must be of a high standard.

No matter how Xie Xian looked at it, he felt that he really shouldn't take over the drama "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to play the role of Li Xunhuan that you told me before."

Xie Xian was still worried before coming, but Wang Jing had already assured him that Lin Daoqiu would not mind, and even agreed to accompany him to see Lin Daoqiu.

That's why Xie Xian mustered up the courage to come to Lin Daoqiu's office to look for him.

"Could the fourth brother tell me the reason for the refusal?"

Lin Daoqiu did not show any expression of dissatisfaction, but looked at Xie Xian curiously.

"Mr. Lin, I really want to cooperate with you in a TV series, but the role of Li Xunhuan must have played a lot. Judging from my current state, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Xie Xian doesn't shy away from these things, after all, he didn't become famous through action scenes.

If it was ten years ago, Xie Xian might still try it, but now he doesn't dare to try these things casually.

"Actually, I should be the one who apologized to my fourth brother. At that time, I didn't think carefully, and I was in a hurry to decide on the male lead of this drama."

Lin Daoqiu is very talkative, Xie Xian was worried that if he rashly rejected Lin Daoqiu's play, he would have bad thoughts about him.

But looking at it this way now, Lin Daoqiu didn't take this matter to heart at all, which made Xie Xian heave a sigh of relief.

After a brief chat with Lin Daoqiu, Xie Xian and Wang Jing were about to say goodbye.

But at this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stopped Wang Jing.

"Fourth brother, I still have something to do with Director Wang, you should go back first."

Xie Xian didn't know what Lin Daoqiu wanted to do with Wang Jing, but it had nothing to do with him anymore.

"In that case, I'll go first and treat Mr. Lin to tea another day."

After Xie Xian left, Lin Daoqiu said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you and Director Chu to convince Xie Xian so quickly."

Originally, Wang Jing thought that Lin Daoqiu kept him because he was dissatisfied with letting Xie Xian resign as Li Xunhuan.

But looking at it now, Lin Daoqiu doesn't seem to mind Xie Xian's resignation.

Wang Jing even felt that Lin Daoqiu seemed to agree with their approach.

"In fact, the fourth brother also has his own concerns, and the action scenes filmed by Mr. Lin, the actor must be able to fight. The fourth brother is at this age, and he trains like a young man. He is worried that there will be physical problems."

Lin Daoqiu hadn't thought of this before, but Xie Xian and Wang Jing did not guess wrong. The actors of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" must receive at least one month of special training for the part of the play.

Xie Xian was worried that his body would be overwhelmed, which is actually quite normal.

There's no need to ruin one's body for a play, after all, he's not too young, and the child is still young, so there's no need to work so hard.

"Since you can persuade Xie Xian to resign, Ti Lung will also ask you to communicate with Director Chu for me. If he doesn't agree, then you will play Li Xunhuan."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he directly lowered his head to process the documents, without giving Wang Jing a chance to refuse at all.

"Mr. Lin, I..."

In fact, Wang Jing still doesn't know what kind of attitude Ti Lung has towards this matter.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Wang Jing was just helping Chu Yuan.

"By the way, when someone else trains for a month, you may need half a year to a year. I'm not kidding."

Wang Jing quickly shut his mouth, although he knew that it was absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to let him play Li Xunhuan.

But this didn't prevent Lin Daoqiu from fighting himself to death. Wang Jing had experienced Lin Daoqiu's power before, and when he thought about it now, he still had lingering fears.

…………

"Master, you are happy now. Xie Xian resigned, but Mr. Lin asked us to deal with Brother Long. What do you think we should do now?"

The frowning Wang Jing asked Chu Yuan out. From the expression on his face, Wang Jing was in a very bad mood.

"You don't have to worry, I will definitely be able to convince Dillon to take this movie."

It seemed that Chu Yuan seemed very confident about this.

"Anyway, I don't care. When Dillon comes later, Master, you can figure out your own way. I'll just make supplements at the side."

In front of Ti Lung, Wang Jing was far less eloquent than Chu Yuan.

So he simply handed over all this matter to Chu Yuan, and he chose to watch the play by the side.

Not long after, Ti Lung came to the teahouse. As soon as he entered the door, when he saw Chu Yuan and Wang Jing, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Director, Ah Jing, why are you free to ask me out for tea today?"

The first play that Ti Lung and Chu Yuan collaborated was "The End of the World · Bright Moon · Sword" produced by Shaw Brothers in 1976.

In that play, Ti Lung played Fu Hongxue, Luo Lie played Yan Nanfei, and Jing Li played Qiu Yuzhen.

The one who cooperated with Ti Lung the most was naturally Zhang Che, who was also Di Lung's master, which was incomparable to Chu Yuan.

"Aaron, I have something good to tell you about asking you out today."

Upon hearing this, Ti Lung immediately asked Chu Yuan with a smile on his face.

"I don't know what kind of good thing it is?"

"Mr. Lin is going to remake "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword". I have already recommended you to play the leading actor Li Xunhuan in this movie."

After Chu Yuan finished speaking, Di Long asked in surprise.

"Is what the director said true? Mr. Lin plans to remake "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword"?"

Chu Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, do you think I made a special trip to ask you out just to joke with you?"

Chu Yuan didn't explain carefully, so Ti Lung also misunderstood that Lin Daoqiu was going to make a movie this time instead of a TV series.
