Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Everyone at the scene was ready, but Shen Wei, the protagonist of this scene, foolishly thought that this time the plot of burning the car was just to light fires around and pretend that the car was on fire.

But what he never expected was that in pursuit of the real McDonald's, he actually poured gasoline on the car.

"Prepare...ignite...start..."

When the actor Lin Wei lit the car on fire, the fire engulfed the entire car at once.

McDonald had already set up a camera in the car to clearly capture Shen Wei's fearful reaction.

Shen Wei had been struggling desperately in the car, and he had realized that this was not a fake game, but a real burning of the car.

Except for McDonald, everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, hoping that McDonald would quickly order to put out the fire, because the fire had already engulfed the entire car.

At this moment, McDonald gave Lin Wei a look, and the other party immediately picked up the fire extinguisher next to him to put out the fire.

After the filming of the scene was completed, Shen Wei got out of the car and without saying a word, he directly found a knife at the scene and started chasing and slashing McDonald.

"I'll chop you to death, you're so fucking serious. I almost got burned to death by you, do you know that?"

If there weren't so many people at the scene, I'm afraid McDonald would really be chopped down by Shen Wei.

And this incident quickly spread throughout the set, and even Lin Daoqiu heard this interesting gossip in his office the next day.

"McDonald likes to pursue a sense of reality. It's really not good to do this. Fortunately, the people at the scene stopped Shen Wei, otherwise McDonald would have been in the hospital by now."

When Fang Jinsheng talked about this incident, he didn't know whether to laugh or not.

Lin Daoqiu looked very calm about this, because he had already heard about this matter in his previous life, but he did not expect that McDonald's would remain the same in this life.

"Compared with McDonald's, there are actually many such figures in the Hong Kong film industry, and Cheng Gang is one of them."

Speaking of Cheng Gang, many people may not know him, but he has a very famous son named Cheng Xiaodong.

But in fact, Cheng Gang is actually older than Li Hanxiang. When Li Hanxiang was still working as a screenwriter, Cheng Gang was already a well-known director.

It is said that Cheng Gang could memorize dozens of scripts. At that time, Li Hanxiang wanted to find an old script but could not find it, so he took a tape recorder and ran to find Cheng Gang to solve it.

Cheng Gang once made a movie called "The Gambler's Big Scam", and later "The God of Gamblers" and "The Gambler" both borrowed from this movie.

Li Hanxiang, who has been in the film industry for many years, once said, "Do you think you are second in Cheng Gang's screenwriting skills? No one dares to think you are first."

"It is said that this old gentleman has not filmed for a long time? He is in Baodao now, and I heard that he seems to be related to Deng Guangrong."

Fang Jinsheng had heard people mention Cheng Gang before, but the rumors about him happened more than ten years ago.

"Deng Guangrong opened a film company. He went to find Cheng Gang to make a movie. But it was delayed because Cheng Gang overspended. He was stubborn and refused to compromise. One day, the two had a conflict. Deng Guangrong couldn't bear it and slapped Cheng Gang."

After being beaten, Cheng Gang left angrily, saying that he would never work for Deng Guangrong again. So of course the movie was not filmed, and Deng Guangrong suffered a lot as a result.

After hearing this, Fang Jinsheng realized that it turned out that Cheng Gang had a conflict with Deng Guangrong, which was why he had not been filming in these years.

"Actually, that's not true. Is Cheng Gang the director of Shaw Brothers? If he really encounters any trouble, Uncle Six will also come forward to speak for him. There should be no one who dares not to give Uncle Six face. The reason why he has no filming? Mostly because

Because of his character."

It's fine if a director goes over budget and delays, but if he's still unreasonable and unwilling to compromise, I'm afraid there will only be a handful of people willing to invest in him.

Speaking of Cheng Gang, Lin Daoqiu thought of his son Cheng Xiaodong. It was really difficult for Cheng Xiaodong to grow up in the hands of a father with a bad temper like Cheng Gang.

…………

In the evening, Cheng Xiaodong came home as usual. When he took out the key and opened the door, he found that the light was on in the room.

When he walked to the living room, he found Cheng Gang sitting there slowly drinking tea.

"Dad, when did you come back?"

Cheng Gang had always stayed in Baodao and rarely returned to Xiangjiang, so Cheng Xiaodong was very surprised by Cheng Gang's appearance.

Cheng Gang put down the cup, then slowly raised his head and glanced at Cheng Xiaodong.

"What's wrong? This is my home. Can't I come back?"

Cheng Xiaodong's skin began to tighten. What he feared most was his father. In front of his father, Cheng Xiaodong would become very timid.

"Looking at what you said, why would I have such an idea? I would rather you come back to live in Xiangjiang so that I can take care of you nearby."

Cheng Xiaodong walked over with a smile on his face, and then quickly added water to Cheng Gang's cup.

"You still have a sense of filial piety."

Cheng Gang glanced at Cheng Xiaodong, and then asked: "I heard that you are busy filming a great movie recently?"

The movie Cheng Gang was talking about was naturally referring to the play "The Meeting of Heroes".

Cheng Xiaodong nodded. He had been appointed by Lin Daoqiu to join the director team of "The Club of Heroes" to assist Mai Jia.

"Mr. Lin is really amazing. It is said that all the stars in Hong Kong will be invited to participate in this play, and even the extras are stars."

Having such appeal shows how influential Lin Daoqiu is in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Lin's influence is indeed extraordinary. Everyone thought that Mr. Lin was going to dominate the film industry in Hong Kong, but we didn't expect that Uncle Six would snatch up the theaters as soon as he took action..."

Cheng Gang has been with Run Run Shaw for many years. If Cheng Xiaodong spoke ill of Run Run Shaw in front of him, he would probably be beaten to death by Cheng Gang.

"You guys, don't even look at who Uncle Six is. In Hong Kong for so many years, the only one who can be called a real movie tycoon is Uncle Six."

Cheng Gang had great respect for his sixth uncle, and Cheng Xiaodong did not dare to argue with him on this point.

However, in Cheng Xiaodong's view, there is only one movie tycoon in Hong Kong in the future, and that must be Lin Daoqiu.

"But Uncle Six is ​​not young anymore, and Mr. Lin is only 25 years old this year. It can be said that he has a bright future, not to mention that a "Godzilla" swept the global box office. This was something I had never even thought about before.

Dare to think.”

In Cheng Gang's era, anyone who could make a movie with a box office of over one million could be crowned a great director.

But if compared with Lin Daoqiu, it pales in comparison.

"If you had come here a few months earlier, maybe the director of "The Club of Heroes" would be yours."

Cheng Xiaodong gave Cheng Gang a small pat on the back, although he didn't really think so.
