Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After confirming that Pierce Brosnan will be the leading actor of "007", the next thing Lin Daoqiu has to consider is the other main actors of this "007".

Even if Lin Daoqiu had watched "The Living Daylights" in his previous life, I'm afraid he has long forgotten the plot of this drama.

Fortunately, although John Grant was kicked out of "007", the script and cast of "The Living Daylights" still remained.

The original male lead, Timothy Dalton, has been replaced by Pierce Brosnan by Lin Daoqiu.

Then it depends on how Lin Daoqiu handles the heroine Maria Dabo who was originally selected.

Whether to replace her directly like Timothy Dalton, or whether to keep her and let her continue to play the heroine, this all needs Lin Daoqiu to make a decision.

I haven't met Maria Dabo yet, and I don't know much about the actress Lin Daoqiu. I only know that she is an English actress. Judging from the photos alone, she does have the temperament of a literary young woman.

Although I don’t know how John Grant originally planned her role, in Lin Daoqiu’s view, letting Maria Dabo play the heroine may actually have a good effect.

"Have someone contact Maria Dabo and ask her to come see me."

Lin Daoqiu wanted to meet with Maria Dabo before deciding whether to let her stay as the heroine of "The Living Daylights".

Maria Dabo was very surprised when she received Lin Daoqiu's invitation. She immediately brought her agent to Lin Daoqiu's office.

As soon as they entered the door, Maria Dabo and Lin Daoqiu stared at each other almost at the same time.

Although she had seen photos of Lin Daoqiu in magazines before, Mariadabo still couldn't believe that Lin Daoqiu was really so young until she saw her in person.

"Hello, Miss Adapo, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu stood up and then made a gesture of invitation to Maria Dabo.

Mariadabo nodded gracefully, then walked to sit opposite Lin Daoqiu.

Even though Lin Daoqiu was a bit too young, he still had a lot of titles on his head that he didn't dare to despise.

Lin Daoqiu invited Mariadabo to his office today mainly because he wanted to observe closely what kind of actor Mariadabo is.

John Grant was able to confirm her to play the leading role, and Lin Daoqiu believed that Maria Dabo must be outstanding.

Judging from her appearance and temperament alone, Lin Daoqiu was already very satisfied with Maria Dabo.

This time Maria Dabo will play a cello player in "007", a standard literary young woman.

Although Lin Daoqiu can also find a female star with outstanding appearance, but the temperament is not so suitable to play the role.

But compared to beauties who make people feel stunning at first glance, girls like Maria Dabo who become more and more beautiful as they look at her are more attractive to Lin Daoqiu.

"I invited you here today because I want to inform you about something. Director John Grant has withdrawn from the team of "The Living Daylights" because he is not in harmony with our ideas, and the leading actor has been replaced by another actor."

Maria Dabo didn't know these things, and it wasn't until Lin Daoqiu finished talking that she knew that such a major change had occurred in the crew of "The Living Daylights."

The director and the leading actor have been replaced. The heroine of her role was originally assigned by John Grant. Did Lin Daoqiu call her here today to tell her that the heroine of this drama also needs to be replaced.

Maria Dabo was happy for a long time when she was chosen as the Bond girl in "007".

During this period of time, she had been studying the script hard, hoping to perform well in this film, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse, and it seemed that she would not be able to become a Bond girl.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for actually giving me the opportunity to experience the feeling of being a Bond girl. I am already very satisfied. I can understand this."

Mariadabo knew very well that no matter how much she objected, it would be useless. The other party was the boss of MGM and the powerful person in charge of one of the eight major Hollywood film companies.

I am just a small actor, nothing compared to a movie tycoon like Lin Daoqiu.

"Mary...Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, Mari didn't mean that..."

The agent next to him became anxious when he heard Maria Dabo say this. Although Lin Daoqiu's words sounded like he was planning to replace her, under such circumstances, it was very embarrassing to just give in without even trying.

It shouldn't be.

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect Mariadabo to be so good at association. He just briefly introduced the situation of the "007" crew to her, and she was able to associate her with the idea of ​​replacing her.

In response, Lin Daoqiu just smiled and shook his head.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Adapo. I have no plans to replace the heroine of this drama."

Mariadabo was startled. She had already planned to say goodbye to Lin Daoqiu and then get up and leave.

But she didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, which made her not know what to say.

"I think your temperament is very consistent with the heroine of this play. Since there is such an excellent actress as Miss Adabo here, why should I change her?"

Maria Dabo was so praised by Lin Daoqiu that she couldn't help but smile.

But she still shook her hand modestly.

"Mr. Lin praised me too much. In fact, I am just an actor who has just debuted. I still have a lot to learn. You should not praise me like this, because it will make me complacent."

Lin Daoqiu felt that Maria Dabo was very cute. The more he watched, the more he felt that it was absolutely right for Maria Dabo to play the heroine of "The Living Daylights".

"Although you are not the heroine I chose, I believe that with Miss Adapo's serious attitude towards the movie, we will definitely have a happy cooperation when the time comes."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up directly, and then stretched out his hand towards Maria Dabo.

Mariadabo quickly stood up and shook hands with Lin Daoqiu.

From this moment on, the male and female protagonists of "The Living Daylights" have been officially determined.

It's just that John Grant has been fired by Lin Daoqiu. Unless Lin Daoqiu wants to be the director himself, otherwise he must find someone to take the director's position.

From Lin Daoqiu's point of view, all he has to do is serve as the producer and screenwriter of this drama. As for the director's position, he still has to find a local Hollywood director to do it.

At this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly remembered Terry Leonard, the assistant director in "Rush Hour".

Terry Leonard was still serving as an assistant director on "Rush Hour" at this time.

However, after working with him for a long time, Lin Daoqiu felt that Terry Leonard was a very conscientious and conscientious person and could be regarded as a very good deputy.

Choosing him to be the leading actor in "The Living Daylights" this time is a reward for Terry Leonard.

When he thought of this, Lin Daoqiu immediately stood up and took Fang Jinsheng to the set of "Rush Hour".
