Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Brother Ying is worried that he won't be able to film the scene well, right?"

There is probably only one reason why Lin Zhengying is so hesitant, otherwise Lin Daoqiu really can't think of any other possibilities.

Lin Zhengying did not hide his thoughts. He nodded and said: "I am very grateful to Ah Qiu for thinking so highly of me. I am really happy, but I have never directed a movie before and have no experience at all."

If it had been someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have considered it so much. They felt that as long as they filmed the scene, they would have completed the task. Whether it would be good or not is another matter.

"Brother Ying, don't worry. My martial arts film is your strong point. The script has been completely written. All you have to do is follow the script. And when the time comes, I will arrange for you an experienced assistant director to assist you."

Such an arrangement would be no problem even if it were a rookie. What's more, although Lin Zhengying has never directed a movie, he has been working hard on the set for so many years and still has an advantage over others.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu has said it to this extent. If Lin Zhengying refuses, it would be a bit hypocritical, unless he had no intention of taking on this drama from the beginning.

"Since you said so, Ah Qiu, it would be really shameful for me to refuse." Lin Zhengying suddenly stood up: "I promise to do my best to make this movie a good one. If it costs me a penny,

Not even accepted."

"Thank you, Brother Ying. I have great confidence in you." Lin Daoqiu also stood up. Since there was no wine, the two of them had to drink tea instead of wine.

After leaving the Shaw Brothers studio, Guo Youhua looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression from time to time from the moment she walked out of the door. She remained like this until she got in the car.

"Are there flowers on my face?" Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned to face Guo Youhua.

Guo Youhua was startled by Lin Daoqiu. She quickly turned her head to the side: "No way, I just took a look."

"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask." For Guo Youhua, a curious baby, Lin Daoqiu felt that she was probably curious about Lin Zhengying.

Lin Daoqiu really guessed it right. Guo Youhua couldn't understand why he was so good to Lin Zhengying. He not only asked him to be the director but also arranged everything for him. But it seemed that the two of them had just met for the first time.

Guo Youhua asked the doubts in his heart, and Lin Daoqiu smiled and explained: "If you must ask me to give a reason, then I can only say that I am very optimistic about him. I don't know if this reason is enough?"

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy Guo Youhua, but Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to tell the truth, and it was hard for her to continue asking. After all, the relationship between the two was not that close.

After sending Guo Youhua home, Lin Daoqiu asked her to read the script thoroughly before leaving. It was only a few days before the filming started. In addition to familiarizing herself with the script, she also had to go to the set to learn the martial arts routines. It can be said that during this period

She will have a hard time.

Fortunately, this is the first time that Guo Youhua has played the heroine of a martial arts film. She seemed very excited and confident, and she also told Lin Daoqiu not to worry about her.

The crew is almost ready for the production, and they have already decided on the assistant director, Lin Daoqiu. They are Zhu Rihong, nicknamed the King of Scene Notes, and Eric Tsang.

It can be said that in this "Master Qian" there are only a few experienced actors, but almost 90% are newcomers.

During the opening ceremony, Lin Daoqiu only invited reporters from two tabloids. It can be said that the intensity of publicity was almost zero.

However, considering the 500 yuan red envelope, these two tabloids still gave Lin Daoqiu enough face. After all, they are soft on others and soft on others, so their headlines are very attractive.

What "Shaw Brothers' potential actress joins the cast, and the Hong family has another star in "Master Qian"...

Then there is "A collection of the most successful works of the Hong family, with a Shaw Brothers actress teaming up with the top youngster of the Hong family to star in "Master Qian""

It sounds like it's very powerful, but if you look closely, the leading actors are not well-known. This is the case for Guo Youhua, and even more so for Yuan Biao. The most famous among them is the three characters "Hong Jia Ban".

The drama "Master Qian" had already been circulated on the Golden Harvest studio before filming started, but most people watched the drama in disgrace.

Even though it has the title of Hong Jia Ban, all the leading actors are newcomers with little fame. Almost everyone feels that even if this movie is made, it will definitely be a hit, and even if it can be released, it will not sell for much money.

The rumors outside quickly spread to the crew. As the leading actors, Yuen Biao and Guo Youhua, they were under great pressure. After all, they were the protagonists of this drama. If the box office was good, they would have a bright future with continuous filming appointments and rising salaries.

But if they fail, then they may have to go back to supporting roles or even continue to play small roles. Even Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui look worried every day on the set.

But the most nervous person here is Lin Zhengying. This is his first time as a director, so the pressure can be imagined. Not to mention that he is also a person who pursues perfection, so he does the most hard work during filming.

of.

In addition to directing, Lin Zhengying also had to play the role of Guo Youhua's father, but fortunately, this role did not have many roles, so it did not affect Lin Zhengying too much.

But at the beginning, when everyone was worried about what kind of martial arts to help Guo Youhua design, Lin Daoqiu suddenly came up with a skirt technique on the set one day. Lin Zhengying and others thought it was a trick, and immediately

Design according to this idea.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu's requirements are not that high. After all, Guo Youhua was given too little time to practice, so when filming Guo Youhua's fighting scenes, he basically shot her lower body, and here he directly used a substitute to complete the filming.

Feilong met with Lin Daoqiu during the filming break. After all, he was an investor, and it was normal for him to want to know the progress of the filming.

"I heard that someone on the set has been saying bad things about that drama recently."

"Some people have been saying this since the film was launched." Lin Daoqiu did not deny it, but it seemed that he did not care about these rumors.

Feilong was a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "Why didn't you inform me earlier? If I had known earlier, I could have shut up those guys right away."

With Feilong's ability, although he can't deal with people from the upper class, it won't be difficult for him to deal with those who make sarcastic remarks on the set.

"Is Brother Feilong planning to intimidate them? Or is he going to beat them up?" Apart from these, Lin Daoqiu couldn't think of any other way Feilong could solve the problem.

"Of course I have to give them a good beating and let them know what will happen if they talk nonsense." Feilong said as he raised his fist and waved it a few times in front of Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu shook his head with a wry smile: "If this is the case, I'm afraid this drama will be in trouble."

Feilong looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why the other party said this.

"Spanking them up can solve the problem temporarily, but if people find out that this play is related to people on the road, it will probably affect many viewers who plan to attend, and there will be a lot of criticism in the newspapers."

Feilong doesn't need to worry. Even if he is really exposed, he will only lose 200,000 at most. However, for the people in the crew, this will bring them a lot of trouble and even affect them in the future.

.

It's not a big problem that the crew's funding is related to Tao Shang. There are many films in Hong Kong at this time that have this situation, but if you go to the set and beat someone because you said a few bad words, the impact will be extraordinary.

.

He felt that Lin Daoqiu's words made sense. Even though Feilong was very angry, he still gave up the idea of ​​finding those people and beating them up.

"Is it possible that you just let it go?" Feilong felt that Lin Daoqiu was too courageous.

Feilong thought that Lin Daoqiu had just arrived in Xiangjiang not long ago and did not dare to conflict with others casually. It was no wonder that he had such an idea of ​​​​pacifying the situation.

"Actually, no matter how much they talk, it won't have any impact. The movie ultimately depends on the box office. All I have to do is make the movie good. As for those people's gossip, let them say it's good enough."

Feilong shook his head helplessly, but since Lin Daoqiu said so, he had no choice but to obey the other party's wishes.
