Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Leng Yuanliang's dismissal was like a pebble dropped into a wide lake, causing no ripples at all.

No one even cared about his fate or stay at all. At most, it only caused some discussion within China Film Group Corporation.

The seat vacated by Leng Yuanliang was immediately occupied by someone else. It can be concluded that Leng Yuanliang's future is basically gone.

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu's words, I don't know what Leng Yuanliang would have become after he was dismissed.

But fortunately, he had already received guidance from Lin Daoqiu before, so his mood did not change much after he was dismissed.

And Li Zhengnan used some tricks to block the review of Lin Daoqiu's theater purchase contract. This is their usual method, usually used to beat those who are disobedient.

This method has always been very effective. Many people cannot bear such a huge loss, so they can only let the other party slaughter them without any power.

It's just that this time Li Zhengnan could be said to have picked the wrong person to attack. How could Lin Daoqiu be the kind of person who would let others take advantage of him?

Ask Wu Chou to stop selling the theater, and then secretly collect evidence.

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to let Wu Chou finish this matter immediately. He could take his time. After all, Lin Daoqiu had plenty of time.

It's not a big deal to Lin Daoqiu that the theater is empty as long as it's empty. Unless Li Zhengnan plans to rob his theater, there's only this the other party can do now.

For a while, Baodao regained its calm. After all, Li Zhengnan's methods were very hidden. Unless people with knowledge of the matter knew about it, it would be impossible for ordinary people to know about such things.

Putting aside the matter of Baodao, there were only these moves that Li Zhengnan could do, and Lin Daoqiu believed that they could no longer come up with any new tricks.

Only when he collects evidence of their manipulation will he launch a real counterattack. Now, let Li Zhengnan be proud for a while, he is not in a hurry.

Preparatory work for "Ip Man" has been completed and the cast has been confirmed.

Lin Daoqiu had previously left all the preparation work to Xu Xiaoming and others, so he never interfered much.

Before they go up there, they have to shoot a few scenes here in Xiangjiang.

Lin Daoqiu took the time to go to the scene and planned to personally direct it for a few days to let them understand how the film should be shot. Otherwise, if the film does not achieve the rhythm he wanted, he would have to start over again, which would be troublesome.

Xu Xiaoming was naturally very happy when he learned that Lin Daoqiu had come to the scene, which meant that Lin Daoqiu really valued this drama.

Judging from his understanding of Lin Daoqiu, Lin Daoqiu would basically not take the initiative to visit the crew. Basically, after deciding on the cast and crew, he would throw away the script, and then nothing would happen to him.

But if he pays enough attention to this drama, he will visit the cast on site when filming starts and direct for a few days.

Because he already had experience filming "Ip Man" before, Xu Xiaoming initially wanted to continue filming in the style of the first "Ip Man" film.

But when Lin Daoqiu arrived at the scene, he immediately overturned Xu Xiaoming's idea.

The first part of "Ip Man" was already a TV series several years ago. It would obviously be inappropriate to film a TV series using the style of that time.

Therefore, I plan to change the style of this Ip Man. The fighting should still be concise and powerful, emphasizing speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. I should also make some differences from the previous ones in the literary and drama aspects.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to make "Ip Man 2" as if it were a copy of "Ip Man 1". If it were shot according to the previous idea, it would definitely not work.

It’s not that Xu Xiaoming has never thought about changing, he also plans to make something innovative in this drama, but his innovation is really different from what Lin Daoqiu wants.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't have the idea to direct, I'm afraid this movie would definitely not be to his liking when it was filmed.

One advantage of casting Lin Zhengying is that even if he plays the same role in his twenties and forties, there won't be much change.

Moreover, in "Ip Man 2", the age of the male protagonist has also become a lot older, so it can be said that Lin Zhengying is the most suitable age to play Ip Man.

In the movie, the music of "Ip Man" gives people a very shocking feeling, but Lin Daoqiu cannot compose or compose music. He only remembers how to hum the music in "Ip Man".

In the previous version of "Ip Man", the music was composed by Neon musician Kenji Kawai. When the music "The Grandmaster" of "Ip Man" is played, people can be immediately brought into the scene of the movie.

So Lin Daoqiu called Huang Zhan and planned to ask him to help compose the music he hummed.

"Mr. Lin, do you want to film a movie with me?"

Lin Daoqiu and Huang Zhan have almost nothing in common, but Huang Zhan has composed music for many movies produced by New Oriental.

The two of them had basically never interacted with each other, but Huang Zhan was actually very interested in Lin Daoqiu, but they never had the chance to sit down and talk.

As one of the four great talents in Hong Kong in his previous life, Huang Zhan's talent and achievements in music are truly second to none.

"A Laugh in the Sea" was created after he read the ancient book "Le Zhi" and was inspired by the sentence "Great music must be easy" in it. He reversed the pentatonic scale "Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang, Gong"

Classic martial arts songs.

But this time Lin Daoqiu came to him not to write a song, but to help him compose the music he was humming.

In fact, you only need to find someone with a solid musical foundation to do such a small thing, but it would be more reliable for Lin Daoqiu to find a master to do this kind of thing, so he focused on Huang Zhan.

"Uncle Zhan, if you want to film, you can go to Tsui Hark or Mai Jia. I came to you today because of the music."

In fact, Huang Zhan just asked casually. He never thought that Lin Daoqiu would come to him to film a movie one day.

I told Huang Zhan my thoughts and then sang "The Grandmaster" intermittently through humming.

Although it sounds very strange, Huang Zhan generally understood the song hummed by Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin brought me here just for this piece of music?"

Huang Zhan seemed a little unbelievable that Lin Daoqiu had come to him specifically for such a thing. He originally thought it was something important, such as asking him to compose the theme song for a movie.

"Well, Uncle Zhan is right. This piece of music is very important to "Ip Man 2", so I hope you can help me compose it."

Huang Zhan shook his head as he listened. To him, this was simply a trivial matter.

"I can submit the manuscript tomorrow. If nothing happens, I will go back first."

For Huang Zhan, he was asked to do such a thing that was not difficult at all. He really didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was thinking.
