Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Returning to his office, he put the manuscript he had written before into a drawer, then took out a new stack of manuscript paper and spread it out on the table.

The incident in "The Swordsman" caught Lin Daoqiu by surprise. It can be said that inertial thinking really kills people.

In the previous life, ever since Tsui Hark cast Brigitte Lin in The Invincibles of the East, there have been many Invincibles starring women. At that time, Jin Yong had not said anything, so Lin Daoqiu mistakenly thought that this was okay.

But he forgot that it was because Tsui Hark's Zhuyuan was in front, and Jin Yong was opposed to it at first, and was even unhappy that the other party did this.

Putting the pen on the table, Lin Daoqiu began to think about what should be taken next?

Fortunately, only Huang Xizhao and himself knew about the things that were not allowed to be filmed in "The Swordsman". He planned to keep it a secret for the time being. He still had a few days to write ten episodes and shoot them first.

But the problem now is that he has to come up with a drama quickly. This is what makes Lin Daoqiu troubled now.

However, we can decide on the subject matter first. After all, Xiao Sheng has been selected as the director, so ancient costume martial arts will definitely not be available, and this drama will have more female characters.

There is no need to consider "The Deer and the Cauldron". It will be very difficult for me to shoot Jin Yong's works in the future, and it might even be on someone's blacklist.

He scratched his head and couldn't think of anything to take a picture of, which made Lin Daoqiu feel a little annoyed.

Do we really want to film "Looking for Qin"? There should be a better way than this.

Just when Lin Daoqiu was still thinking about what to write, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Mr. Lin, if such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me as soon as possible..."

Xiao Sheng also heard from Huang Xizhao that Jin Yong refused to let him film "Swordsman", so he rushed to find Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu was very unhappy with Xiao Sheng's behavior of pushing the door open without even knocking.

"Producer Xiao, don't you know you should knock on the door first?"

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he felt baffled that he still cares about this at this time.

"Sorry, I just didn't think about that much."

After saying that, Xiao Sheng walked out again, closed the door and knocked on the door. After getting Lin Daoqiu's consent, he opened the door and walked into the office.

Xiao Sheng looked unhappy and said: "Is this okay?"

"Producer Xiao, please take a seat."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded, and then made a gesture to the other party to sit down.

He originally came in a hurry to discuss a solution with Lin Daoqiu, but he got hit by him from the very beginning. What does this mean to him? Who does he think he is?

He was only eighteen years old, and he was already fifty-one. Even Huang Xizhao did not dare to treat him like this. Did Lin Daoqiu really regard himself as Shaw Run Run or Zou Wenhuai?

Holding his anger in his heart, Xiao Sheng didn't want to argue with the other party now. He just wanted to know what Lin Daoqiu was going to do now that "Swordsman" could not be filmed.

"To be honest, I just learned about this news from Mr. Huang. You asked me to come up with a solution immediately, which is simply unrealistic."

Lin Daoqiu shrugged at Xiao Sheng. It seemed that he couldn't think of any good solution at the moment.

But Xiao Sheng had thought about it carefully before coming.

"I think Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang should immediately go to Mr. Cha and ask why they refused to authorize us. If it can't be solved, I propose to buy Gu Long's novel to film."

Jin Yong and Gu Long are currently the two most famous masters of martial arts novels in Hong Kong. The novels they wrote have always been a guarantee of box office and ratings.

If you really can't figure out Jin Yong, it doesn't matter. Gu Long knows Xiao Sheng well because he just filmed "Meteor and Butterfly Sword" a few months ago.

I have to say that the method proposed by Xiao Sheng is very good. The popularity of "Lu Xiaofeng" and "Chu Liuxiang" on wireless is a good example.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't think so. He didn't want to follow Wireless's lead and just shoot whatever they wanted.

"Producer Xiao, Mr. Cha will not give us authorization. There is no need to mention this matter. As for Gu Long's novels, TVB has already filmed two Gu Long novels in succession, so I don't plan to film Gu Long's drama."

Xiao Sheng never expected that Lin Daoqiu would neither film Jin Yong nor Gu Long, so what on earth did he want to film?

"I plan to write a script myself and film it. Of course it will be a martial arts drama that Producer Xiao is good at."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said these words, Xiao Sheng was stunned. Then he looked at Lin Daoqiu with wide eyes, unable to say a word for a long time.

Is this guy crazy? Does he think martial arts dramas are so easy to film? The reason why we are now keen to change the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long is because their novels have withstood the test of the market.

The book fans that people have accumulated over the years will be converted into ratings when the TV series is launched. Lin Daoqiu, an 18-year-old young man, actually said so brazenly that he wanted to write a martial arts drama to film, it was simply laughable.

"Mr. Lin, martial arts novels are not that easy to write. I advise you to buy a work by a famous artist. This way you can have some protection."

Xiao Sheng simply did not believe that Lin Daoqiu could write a blockbuster martial arts drama, because it was completely different from other types of film and television dramas. It was not just about the grudges between men and women, but also involved too many things.

Astronomy, geography, miscellaneous subjects, everything you need, and you also need to understand the three religions and nine streams, which is definitely not something a young person can write about.

And even if he can really write a martial arts drama, Xiao Sheng is extremely not optimistic about it, because it has not been tested by the market at all, and God knows whether the audience will buy it.

"It seems like Producer Xiao has very little confidence in me."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu also knew very well that it was difficult to make Xiao Sheng have confidence in him, but he was unwilling to adopt the method proposed by the other party.

"This is not a matter of confidence. Since Li's invited me to film a drama, I will be responsible for the ratings of the drama."

"I am the producer of this show. If anything goes wrong at that time, I will naturally be responsible. Producer Xiao doesn't have to worry about it."

Xiao Sheng simply didn't know how to communicate with Lin Daoqiu. He simply shook his head and stood up.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. I think we can't cooperate. I'm going to go to Mr. Huang now and ask him to buy a Gu Long novel to film. If you are willing to assist me, that would be the best. If not, then

I’ll do it myself.”

In fact, Xiao Sheng is very reluctant to be the director for others. He is used to controlling everything by himself. It would be better for him if Lin Daoqiu doesn't go.

Seeing how resolute Xiao Sheng's attitude was, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to nod.

"Then I wonder which actors you plan to smoke out?"

Xiao Sheng didn't even think about it, he answered directly: "I will take Wei Qiuhua, Wen Xue'er, and Yu An'an away, and the heroine will be chosen among them. Chen Yulian is not qualified, so she can only start as a supporting role to practice.

Acting skills.”

It can be said that Xiao Sheng's mind is moving very fast, and he is even thinking about which Gu Long novel he should choose to adapt.

"If that's the case, then you can film it. But you don't have to go to Baodao. Your drama can be filmed in Xiangjiang."

At the end, Lin Daoqiu added: "You don't need to take Chen Yulian with you, she can't play supporting roles."
