Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lin Daoqiu found Xu Bubu and Hu Huizhong to play the leading roles, which was already unacceptable to Wu Chou.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually told him now that the director also wanted to choose a new person.

"Who is this Zhu Yanping?"

After Wu Chou heard Lin Daoqiu say this name, his face was completely incomprehensible.

Originally, Wu Chou thought that the film company's first film would have a famous director, actors, and screenwriters.

The result was good now. Except for Lin Daoqiu, the directors and actors were all newcomers with no reputations. This made it difficult for Wu Chou not to get angry.

"I have seen "The Wrong First Step" he wrote, and I thought it was quite good, so I asked him to be the director."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had never read Zhu Yanping's "The Wrong First Step" at all. He just simply wanted to find that guy.

"Is he the director of "Wrong First Step"?" Wu Chou asked.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head: "The director of that play is Cai Yangming, and he is the screenwriter."

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's explanation, Wu Chou suddenly fell silent because the decisions Lin Daoqiu made were so unbelievable.

"Mr. Lin, are you kidding me? Can a play like this be a hit?"

Wu Chou even wondered if Lin Daoqiu was playing with him? Otherwise, why would he find these people to film?

"Mr. Wu, my "Lotus Contest" will be filmed in Baodao for almost half a year, and do you think I am a bored person who likes to waste my energy and time?"

"Of course not, but..."

Wu Chou shook his head. If Lin Daoqiu hadn't said this, he would still be a little suspicious.

But after hearing the other party's explanation, his doubts were completely dispelled.

Lin Daoqiu wouldn't be willing to waste his time using these people to practice, right? And there was absolutely no need for him to do so.

"Although the protagonist is a newcomer, I didn't say that the supporting roles should also be newcomers."

Lin Daoqiu is not so arrogant that he wants to win tens of millions of Taiwan dollars at the box office just by relying on Xu Bu and Hu Huizhong.

After all, they are still newcomers, and Luye must choose well, otherwise they will not be able to attract the audience to the theater in the first place.

When Wu Chou heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If a few big stars were chosen as guest stars, it would really help the box office, and it wouldn't cost too much.

…………

With uneasiness, Zhu Yanping was taken to Changhong Film Company.

Wu Chou rented a building in Beishi as the company's office, and it was here that Lin Daoqiu met Zhu Yanping for the first time.

Looking at Zhu Yanping, who is still very young, standing in front of him, I am afraid no one can imagine that in the coming days, many bad movies will be produced from his hands, but there will also be many classics.

's movie.

"This is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin, you should have heard of his name."

At first, when Zhu Yanping knew that Wu Chou wanted to see him, he felt very uneasy. After all, he was just a little-known screenwriter.

But when he heard that the young man in front of him was actually the famous Lin Daoqiu, Zhu Yanping was so surprised that he immediately raised his head.

"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Zhu Yanping. I have seen your filming of "Master Qian" and "Ip Man". They were really good."

When Zhu Yanping saw Lin Daoqiu, he looked very excited. Originally, he wanted to step forward and shake hands with the other person, but as soon as he took the step, he felt that he was not qualified.

"Okay, I'm going to get busy. Let's talk."

Wu Chou was too lazy to stay here any longer, he had to be responsible for hiring supporting actors.

After Wu Chou left the room, Lin Daoqiu pointed to the chair next to him.

"Come and sit down."

Compared to Wu Chou, Lin Daoqiu is obviously easier to get close to. At least compared to when he first entered the house, Zhu Yanping's nervousness has eased a lot.

After Zhu Yanping sat down, Lin Daoqiu explained to him why he was brought here.

"I plan to make a comedy this time. I have read your work "The Wrong First Step" and I thought it was very good, so I decided that you would be the director of this film."

When Zhu Yanping heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he was immediately confused.

At first, he thought that Lin Daoqiu had called him here to help him write the script.

But he never expected that the other party would ask him to be the director as soon as he opened his mouth. This was a huge surprise for Zhu Yanping.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He could only stare at Lin Daoqiu blankly, unable to say a word for a long time.

"Mr. Lin wants me to be the director?"

Zhu Yanping was not sure whether he heard correctly just now, so he could only ask again carefully.

Seeing Lin Daoqiu nodding his head, Zhu Yanping was so excited that he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

He has been very passionate about movies since he was a child. When he was in college, he made documentaries with his classmates.

After graduation, he also worked as a bit player and as an assistant director, but he has always been unknown in the film industry.

Until he met director Cai Yangming, and after the two chatted, Cai Yangming found that this young man had a very good understanding of movies, so he encouraged him to write a script and give it a try.

Inspired, Zhu Yanping spent a month writing "The Wrong First Step".

Cai Yangming thought the script written by Zhu Yanping was very good, so he filmed it. Unexpectedly, it received a good response after it was released.

Later, Cai Yangming even planned to take this "Wrong First Step" to participate in the Asian Film Festival to try his luck.

"But I've never been a director before."

Zhu Yanping has sobered up from the initial excitement, and he did not blindly agree to take on this directorship.

Although it is his dream to be a director, he has never directed a film yet. Suddenly Lin Daoqiu asked him to take on the role of director. You can imagine the pressure.

Not to mention that this drama is the pioneering work of Changhong Film Company. You must know that the boss of this film company is Wu Chou from Mu Lian.

If I fail to make this movie, or if it doesn't get a good box office, I'm afraid it will be delusional to continue working in movies in Baodao.

"It doesn't matter. I will find you an experienced assistant director to assist you. You just need to shoot what is in the script."

Lin Daoqiu knew that Zhu Yanping had little experience, so he had already thought about finding an experienced person for him to help him film the film.

Moreover, the comedy film that Lin Daoqiu is going to make will not be too complicated. There is no profound philosophy or serious topics that he wants to discuss with the world.

His idea is actually very simple. After everyone enters the theater and laughs after watching the movie, it means that the movie has been successful.
