Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 997
Looking for a coffee shop, Lin Daoqiu and Du Qifeng sat and talked.

No one knew that Du Qifeng, who was sitting opposite Lin Daoqiu, would become a film master in the future.

Later, Du Qifeng, Wei Jiahui and You Naihai cooperated to create Galaxy Image, and produced a batch of excellent gunfight films and Du style genre films.

Such an outstanding talent, but now he can only stay in TVB to shoot TV series, Lin Daoqiu naturally will not miss such a good opportunity.

"Mr. Lin, I really want to make a movie."

Just now at the entrance of the theater, Lin Daoqiu asked if he wanted to make a movie, and Du Qifeng was silent at that time.

When he came to the coffee shop and thought for a while, he finally gave the answer in his heart.

"It's certainly a good thing to make a movie, and with Director Du's ability, I think you have the ability to direct a movie independently."

Lin Daoqiu's words were a bit insincere, Johnnie To also came out to take on the film after a long time of experience in TVB.

In this life, "Clear Water and Cold Mountains Killing Gold" has not been filmed, and Lin Daoqiu never thought about asking Du Qifeng to make this film.

It is still too early for him to make genre films or shootout films, because the vast majority of audiences have not yet reached such a high level.

Moreover, the current Du Qifeng will definitely not be able to make films such as "Gunfire", "Dark War" and "PTU".

In the early days, Johnnie To made comedies like "Christmas Adventure and Marriage", "Eight Star Annunciation", and "Auspicious Stars".

But Lin Daoqiu never thought about asking Du Qifeng to rely on comedy movies.

Since he is a genre film director who is good at shooting gunfight series and has a unique style, Lin Daoqiu intends to train him in this aspect.

"Mr. Lin praised it absurdly. I know that I have little experience. I'm afraid I'm not capable enough to direct a movie alone."

Du Qifeng is very self-aware. If it were someone else, he would have agreed to Lin Daoqiu's words.

But judging from what he said, it seemed that he didn't dare to answer.

"Making TV series and filming are two different things. It just so happens that I have dabbled in both fields, and I'm doing pretty well, so I can give you some advice."

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Du Qifeng couldn't help but smile wryly.

The other party has become a world-renowned filmmaker after making movies, and the TV series he made can push TVB into a formidable enemy.

Is it all like this, or is it just okay to do?What about the others?

"Mr. Lin please advise."

To Qifeng Du, it was definitely an overjoyed thing to be taught by Lin Daoqiu.

He wished that Lin Daoqiu could teach him more experience, since this thing cannot be bought even if he has money.

"Resign from TVB immediately and join New Oriental. Do more than listen more. If you don't have self-confidence, you can start as an assistant director."

It is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to teach Du Qifeng hand in hand, he has neither the time nor the interest.

So throwing Du Qifeng to the set to watch and learn is the most correct choice.

To Lin Daoqiu's suggestion, Du Qifeng seemed to be hesitant.

He was really excited to be invited by Lin Daoqiu.

But on the other hand, To Qifeng felt that he suddenly switched to the film industry, and he didn't know if it was the right choice.

"With Wang Jing at New Oriental, you shouldn't have to worry about no one covering you."

Du Qifeng's master is Wang Tianlin, speaking of Wang Jing as his senior brother, with him in Du Qifeng, he can feel more or less at ease.

Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Du Qifeng remembered that Wang Jing was also in New Oriental.

"Mr. Lin, please let me think about it..."

…………

A few days later, Du Qifeng brought his family to Wang Tianlin's house to celebrate the New Year.

Before dinner, Du Qifeng and Wang Tianlin mentioned this matter, and Wang Jing was also listening.

"Mr. Lin wants to invite me to join New Oriental to make a movie. Master, do you think I can agree?"

Wang Tianlin didn't expect Du Qifeng to hook up with Lin Daoqiu.

Finding Wang Tianlin and Wang Jing looking at him curiously, Du Qifeng quickly told him and Lin Daoqiu what happened in the theater.

"Since Mr. Lin has sent invitations to you, what else do you have to refuse? Hurry up and agree to come to New Oriental to work hard with me."

Wang Jing felt that there was nothing to hesitate at all. Lin Daoqiu even took the initiative to invite him, and he should have agreed at that time.

Du Qifeng didn't answer Wang Jing, but kept looking at Wang Tianlin.

"What does Mr. Lin want you to shoot?"

Wang Tianlin was very curious, he wanted to know what kind of play Lin Daoqiu planned for Du Qifeng to do.

Hearing Wang Tianlin's question, Du Qifeng shook his head quickly.

"I know that I have little experience, so Mr. Lin told me to start as an assistant director and learn by doing."

Wang Tianlin nodded while listening.

Wang Tianlin is still very clear about Du Qifeng's ability as a disciple.

If he is allowed to direct a movie alone now, the possibility of failure is very high.

Unless there is a script provided by Lin Daoqiu and he acts as the producer for this drama, then Johnnie To will have a chance of becoming a hit.

"A Jing has been doing well in New Oriental for the past two years. If you want to make a movie, go and hang out with him."

Wang Tianlin knew very well that Wireless received very little money, and they were all paid on a monthly basis, so they wouldn't starve to death even if they didn't earn a lot of money.

If you want to have a good development, you have to jump out of wireless and go out to make movies.

After all, the film world is so good now, and the box office of "Best Partner" exceeded 450 million on the first day, which was unimaginable before.

Naturally, Wang Tianlin would not do anything to block people's money. After all, since Du Qifeng asked this, it meant that he was already moved.

"Thank you master."

Just as Wang Tianlin guessed, Du Qifeng was indeed moved, but he still had to ask Wang Tianlin what he meant before making a decision.

If the other party refused, Du Qifeng could only decline Lin Daoqiu's invitation.

"Actually, according to me, you should have come here a long time ago. What is the future of filming TV dramas? Like Lao Dou, this is not the case when you become a gold medal producer."

After Wang Jing finished speaking, she couldn't help curling her lips.

"You grew up eating wireless food, so don't say such eccentric things in front of me."

Wang Tianlin looked at Wang Jing with displeasure.

"Old man, you know that's not what I mean."

Wang Jing hurriedly apologized, luckily it was Chinese New Year today, otherwise, if it was a normal day, I am afraid he would have already been beaten.

"At that time, our two brothers will combine our swords, and we must make a movie with a box office of 2000 million within this year."

"why?"

Du Qifeng didn't understand why Wang Jing said that.

"Because as long as you get a box office of 2000 million, you can know a secret of Mr. Lin."

Du Qifeng looked at Wang Jing with a strange face, he couldn't figure out what the other party meant by this sentence.

"You don't understand, you will know when the time comes."

Humming a ditty, Wang Jing looked very happy, after all, it was Chinese New Year.
