Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The play "Merry Christmas" can be seen as a small change for Mika.

This drama is not a big production like "The Best of Us" and takes a warm-hearted route.

This time, Mai Jia plays the role of the head of the family, raising three children independently.

It happened to be Mai Jia's birthday, and his colleagues collectively teased him to celebrate. In recognition of his years of hard work, his boss gave him a car.

But who would have expected that the young man delivering the car had a conflict with Mai Jia, and as a result, Mai Jia accidentally dismantled his new car into pieces.

Because he had to go to work, Mai Jia could only send his little bald head to the house of singer Ah Feng across the street.

In fact, Mai Jia has been in love with Ah Feng for a long time, but she has been unwilling to say it out of concern for her face.

On the other hand, the emotional problems of his two children also give Maijia a headache. He is afraid that his daughter will fall in love with him early, and hopes that his son will be a handsome man in the world.

On Christmas Eve, the family's love drama finally unfolded.

The director and screenwriter of this play are both Gao Zhisen.

Because of the success of "Happy Ghost", he had the opportunity to direct "Merry Christmas" this time.

In fact, neither Mai Jia nor Gao Zhisen was particularly confident about this film. Although it is a comedy film that they are good at, it does not have the high-tech and action scenes like in "The Best Partner", nor the special effects like in "The Happy Ghost"

.

It all depends on the plot to attract the audience's attention and win a good box office. In fact, Mai Jia and Gao Zhisen feel very unsure.

But for them, the biggest good news is that the investment for "Merry Christmas" this time is very low. Compared with large-scale productions that often cost tens of millions, this drama only cost less than five million.

So as long as the box office can exceed 15 million, the film will not lose money, so the pressure on them is relatively relieved.

On the other hand, the movie that Pou Cheng Cinema will release on Christmas this time is "The Owl and Dumbo" starring Sammo Hung and George Lam.

But the most special thing is that the heroine of this drama is an actor named Michelle Yeoh.

If Lin Daoqiu saw the cast list of "The Owl and Dumbo", he might be a little surprised, because Michelle Yeoh actually starred in her first movie at this time just like in her previous life.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu now has Brigitte Lin, otherwise he would really have some headaches.

At this time, Michelle Yeoh did not speak Mandarin, nor even Cantonese. Although she came from a Chinese-American family, she had always spoken English at home.

But it doesn't really matter, because the reason why she filmed this movie was entirely because of Pan Di's voice.

Michelle Yeoh returned to Malaysia to participate in a beauty pageant a year ago and met Pan Disheng at the event. Since then, Mr. Pan has been obsessed with Michelle Yeoh.

He first invited Michelle Yeoh to shoot commercials, and then even asked her to send movies, trying his best to win the hearts of beauties.

Completely different from the beating girl in later generations, Michelle Yeoh's image in "The Owl and the Dumbo" is that of a gentle and beautiful female teacher.

I'm afraid no one can imagine that a year later, such a gentle and beautiful female teacher turned into an action actress, and she was very good at it.

You must know that Michelle Yeoh grew up in a wealthy Malay family and received a very good education from childhood to adulthood.

I studied ballet when I was a child, but later I had to stop my ballet studies due to injuries.

And for such a rich young lady, she actually doesn’t like to use a body double when filming martial arts scenes.

In fact, in later interviews, she revealed that she was afraid of heights, but even so, as soon as the director called to start, Michelle Yeoh forgot everything.

Although "The Owl and Dumbo" is a movie starring Sammo Hung and Zixiang Lin, everyone's focus is on Sammo Hung and Zixiang Lin, and no one will pay attention to the actor Michelle Yeoh.

However, just after the cast list of "The Owl and Dumbo" was announced, Lin Daoqiu discovered that Michelle Yeoh also appeared.

Although I don’t know why Michelle Yeoh transformed into a female beater in the first place, Lin Daoqiu will not let Michelle Yeoh become a box office weapon for Pou Seng Cinemas.

Moreover, her marriage to Pan Disheng was actually not very good. They divorced just a few years after their marriage.

"Mr. Lin, is there anything wrong with this play?"

Fang Jinsheng discovered that Lin Daoqiu was fascinated by the promotional poster for the drama "The Owl and Dumbo", and he thought something was wrong.

"Go and help me find the contact information of this person named Michelle Yeoh. I want to see her."

It's not easy to be a female beater, and there are only a handful of people like Michelle Yeoh who can become internationally famous.

Fang Jinsheng didn't think much about it. After picking up the poster, he tried to find a way to contact the actor Michelle Yeoh.

…………

"Mr. Lin wants to see me? Is it true?"

At this time, Michelle Yeoh was an actor who had just finished filming "The Owl and Dumbo" and didn't have many ideas about the future.

It was only because of Pan Di Sheng's help that I entered the entertainment industry.

But now, the internationally renowned film producer Lin Daoqiu wants to meet her, which makes Michelle Yeoh very happy.

She agreed to the meeting without much thought, but in fact Michelle Yeoh didn't know that Pou Sing Cinema and Heung Kong Cinema were hostile.

A few days later, Michelle Yeoh came to the tea restaurant she had made an appointment with Lin Daoqiu.

She didn't recognize Lin Daoqiu when she entered the door, but Lin Daoqiu recognized Michelle Yeoh at a glance.

"Ms. Yang, Mr. Lin is over there, please follow me."

Fang Jinsheng stepped forward and brought Michelle Yeoh to Lin Daoqiu.

When she met Lin Daoqiu for the first time, Michelle Yeoh looked shocked because he looked so young.

In Michelle Yeoh's opinion, a person who can produce so many outstanding filmmakers should be at least thirty to forty years old. How could he be so young?

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Michelle Yeoh. Nice to meet you. I have watched almost all of the movies you made and I like them very much."

After being surprised, Michelle Yeoh quickly greeted Lin Daoqiu.

Because she didn't speak Chinese or Cantonese, Michelle Yeoh spoke in English. Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu knew English, otherwise they would have had to find an interpreter for their conversation.

"Hello, Miss Yang, please sit down."

After the two sat down opposite each other, Michelle Yeoh looked at Lin Daoqiu with questions in her heart, because she didn't know why Lin Daoqiu suddenly wanted to meet her.

"Ms. Yang, actually the reason why I'm meeting you this time is to talk to you about your future."

"Mr. Lin wants to talk about my future?"

Michelle Yeoh was confused by Lin Daoqiu's words. Does her future have anything to do with Lin Daoqiu? You must know that this is just their first meeting.
