Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 909 Business and the Arts

"I heard that Brother Long went to Hollywood to shoot a movie before, can you tell us about that movie?"

There are actually very few people who know that Jackie Chan went to Hollywood to film "Red Fan District".

Everyone thought that he was preparing a new movie, that's why there was no news about him for so long.

"Actually, Mr. Lin helped me write the script for this drama. It's called "Red Fan District".

Jackie Chan did not disclose more information about "Red Fan District". After all, this movie has not yet been released, so it is not suitable to say too much here.

"If "Red Fan District" can be a big success this time, will Brother Long think more about Hollywood movies in the future?"

For this question, Jackie Chan quickly shook his head.

"If there is a suitable script for a movie from Hollywood, I certainly won't refuse it, but my main energy now is still on Xiangjiang."

"I don't know what plans Brother Long has recently? Is there any new play in preparation?"

After filming "Police Story" last year, Jackie Chan has been in Xiangjiang for more than a year without making a movie.

If this continues, it will definitely not be a good thing for him.

So after signing a contract with New Oriental, Jackie Chan plans to make a movie as soon as possible, but the subject matter is still under consideration.

"To tell you the truth, we are indeed preparing for a new play recently, but as for the subject matter, we have to keep it secret for the time being."

After interviewing Long, Lin Jianming turned his attention to Michelle next to him.

"I believe I don't need to introduce more about this one, ATV's leading actress, Michelle Michelle."

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I become the head of the family."

Michelle smiled and shook her head.

She and Lin Jianming usually have a good relationship, that's why Lin Jianming dared to make fun of her like this.

However, whether Michelle is ATV's leading star, I am afraid that Lin Jianming does not need to say it, and I believe many people will agree with it.

"Sister Michelle is not only good in TV dramas, but also in movies."

"When the director found me, I was actually very surprised. Fortunately, the crew took good care of me, so it wasn't too hard to act. The hardest work was Brother Long and the others."

Liu Zhirong then asked.

"Is there anything in the movie "Police Story" that impresses you the most?"

Hearing Liu Zhirong's question, Michelle turned her head to Jackie Chan next to her.

"To be honest, I never thought that someone could be so desperate in filming. The dangerous actions you saw in the theater before are all true."

When Jackie Chan was filming "Police Story", Zhang Aijia and Michelle Zhang were frightened by the kind of hard work.

Especially the last jump in the mall was even more thrilling.

"I don't know what other people think, but I don't know what to say about the jump in the mall at the end of 'Police Story'."

Jackie Chan just stood by and kept smiling.

Liu Zhirong and Lin Jianming have also watched the movie "Police Story", and they also admire Jackie Chan very much.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I like to pursue the most realistic feeling when making movies. I will try my best to do the movements I can make, even if it is a little dangerous."

Lin Jianming shook his head while listening to what Jackie Chan said.

"To be honest, no matter how much money is given to me, I will never jump from such a high place. It's just risking my life."

Not only Lin Jianming thinks this way, even the other actors in Xiangjiang, I am afraid few dare to jump from such a high place.

"It's no wonder everyone likes Brother Long so much. It's not without reason."

At this time in the theater, Lin Daoqiu was already sitting in his seat, and Li Hanxiang was sitting next to him.

Two of the Old Summer Palace trilogy have been filmed, and the third is still being filmed.

This time, Li Hanxiang was invited by Lin Daoqiu, and made a special trip back to Xiangjiang to participate in the first Xiangjiang Film Awards, as an award presenter.

"I knew that the first Academy Awards would be held this year, so I signed up for it."

Li Hanxiang looked very regretful.

"It's a bit rushed this year, but next year it will be fine. Then Director Li can take part in the competition with the third part of the Old Summer Palace."

Because it is the first Academy Award, whether this award focuses on commercial or literary films, there is still no accurate positioning.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, whether it is defined as biased towards business or art, this is not a good thing.

For the Academy Awards to be successful, the most important thing is to be objective and fair, and not to erase the efforts of the other party just because it is a commercial film.

But in fact, Lin Daoqiu himself is very clear, whether it is in Xiangjiang at this time or in the future, the focus of the film awards at the Academy Awards should be in the scope of literature and art.

After all, commercial films are a bit vulgar to these filmmakers, and they are far less fresh and refined than embracing literature and art.

Moreover, it has always been difficult for literary and artistic films to get good box office results. Compared with commercial films, they need more encouragement.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu still intends not to let the Academy Award become an award specially set up for the recognition of literary films, because this is not his original intention of organizing this award at all.

Once you have this idea, it will be difficult for the Academy Awards to be fair and just, which is also a problem that troubles Lin Daoqiu.

"Since Mr. Lin said so, then I will definitely prepare well next year, and then I will come to compete for the Golden Statue Award and see what it's like."

The ceremony of walking the red carpet lasted for more than an hour. As more and more cast members came in, the scene became lively.

When Lin Daoqiu was chatting with Li Hanxiang, he turned his head inadvertently and saw the crew of "New Shushan Swordsman" coming in from outside.

Zheng Shaoqiu flew back from abroad to attend the awards ceremony for this Hong Kong Film Awards.

Although the box office performance of "New Shushan Swordsman" was not very good, Zheng Shaoqiu's Ding Yin in "New Shushan Swordsman" was recognized by the audience, which made him very happy.

Tsui Hark and Zheng Shaoqiu didn't know what they were talking about, he turned his head and suddenly met Lin Daoqiu's eyes.

All of a sudden, Tsui Hark seemed to panic a little.

Although he knew that he might meet Lin Daoqiu today, Tsui Hark was not ready yet.

Before he could react, Lin Daoqiu had already nodded to him with a smile.

Tsui Hark was relieved when he saw Lin Daoqiu smiling at him.

Although everyone will still be rivals in the future, Tsui Hark feels that Lin Daoqiu should be given the necessary respect.

After all, in Tsui Hark's view, none of the people present had a higher achievement in film than Lin Daoqiu.
