Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Half a year ago, Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok were recruited from TVB to New Oriental by Lin Daoqiu, and they were appointed to be the leading actors in "The Storm".

The two of them received acting, movement, and body shaping training in the past six months.

Before "The Wind and Cloud", "Dragon and Tiger Gate" co-produced by Huang Yulang and New Oriental, and "Dragon and Tiger Gate" invested and filmed by Jiahe, have entered the stage of actual shooting.

But on the "Wind and Cloud" side, Lin Daoqiu didn't even move. Judging from this, I'm afraid it's unlikely that "Wind and Cloud" will be released this year.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu has been busy with overseas affairs, focusing all his attention on LA, and has no energy or time to start the filming of "The Storm".

Things in LA are now finished, and the assassination incident has come to an end for the time being.

Lin Daoqiu naturally wants to take charge of the affairs in Xiangjiang, especially the comic book adaptation of Dongshi and "The Storm".

Because he controls Magic Studio, Lin Daoqiu is well aware of the filming progress of "Heroes of China" and "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

If all goes well, these two dramas will be released as early as the end of this year or during the Spring Festival next year.

However, in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, Jiahe and Huang Yulang spent so much money, so they should choose a good time to release it.

But if the two companies must compete during next year's Spring Festival, I'm afraid there will be a situation where both sides are hurt.

So the best way is for one of them to withdraw from the Spring Festival schedule and change it to the summer schedule or the period from Christmas to New Year's Day.

In this way, both sides would lose out. Lin Daoqiu believed that they would not want to fight over this.

After all, Jiahe has no deep hatred against Huang Yulang. Huang Yulang only made "Heroes of China" to increase the popularity of his comic company.

If Jiahe wanted to have a showdown with Huang Yulang at this time, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Mr. Lin, Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok are already here."

Fang Jinsheng knocked on the door of Lin Daoqiu's office and told him that Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok were already here.

Lin Daoqiu specially brought them here to see what progress they had made in the past six months.

Have you reached the stage where you can start shooting?

"Invite them in."

Lin Daoqiu nodded and then stood up from the chair.

Then Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok walked in from the door.

Compared with half a year ago, the two young men, who originally looked very weak, now look significantly stronger.

You can tell just by looking at them that they have developed chest muscles.

"Yes, it seems that you have really worked hard in the past six months. At least you have initially met the physical conditions of the two male protagonists in "The Wind and Cloud"."

Lin Daoqiu is very satisfied that Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok can build such a figure within half a year.

You must know that at this time, most celebrities have not taken the initiative to manage their figures. These two people can develop a good figure within half a year, and they must have put in a lot of effort.

And it’s not enough to just practice it, the important thing is to be able to maintain it all the time and not change too much.

After all, the filming of "The Storm" will take at least a year.

If their bodies change significantly during this period, there will be a lot of trouble in the filming of the movie.

"But this is just the beginning for you. Although you have already built up your figure, you can't relax and you have to keep it up. I believe someone has told you this."

Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok nodded quickly. Indeed, someone had told them in advance and planned for them to go to the gym three times a week.

Although the two of them were a little uncomfortable at first, over the past six months, they have developed the habit of going to the gym to work out.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that we will keep in good shape and what we have learned before will not be wasted."

Although Zheng Yinjian is a person who "does not strive for advancement", once he decides to do something, he will definitely do his best.

"I plan to start filming "The Storm" during the Chinese New Year. You can have a good rest at home this year, and you will really get busy after the Chinese New Year."

Regarding the movie adapted from the comic book, Lin Daoqiu believes that the filming process of "The Storm" will definitely give Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok an unprecedented experience.

It's just that he doesn't plan to make it clear to Zheng Yinjian and the others just yet. They have to let them feel this for themselves.

After a brief chat with Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok, he asked Fang Jinsheng to send the two people away.

Although the male lead of "The Storm" has long been decided, the problem is that the female lead of this drama, Lin Daoqiu, has not yet been determined.

Lin Daoqiu does not intend to adopt popular female stars such as Brigitte Lin, Zhong Chuhong, and Zhao Yazhi.

And they don't look like they match up with Kevin Cheng and Aaron Kwok at all.

In the original "Wind and Cloud", the heroines were Kong Ci, Xiong Ba's daughter, and Yu Chuchu, Yu Yue's daughter.

Nie Feng's wife's second dream did not appear, and the plot of Wushuang City was also deleted a lot.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't want to do this. He felt that since Nie Feng was the male protagonist, he naturally needed a rich plot.

Therefore, "Wind and Cloud" was changed into two parts by Lin Daoqiu, with emphasis on Nie Feng's emotional drama.

But the problem now is that the three roles of Kong Ci, Chu Chu and Ermeng mean that Lin Daoqiu's version of "The Wind and Cloud" needs to find three heroines.

The heroine is easy to find. Shu Qi and Christine Yang in the original version were not very outstanding. At least in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, the choice of heroine in the original Fengyun can only be said to be average except for the choice of male protagonist.

Since I was filming "The Wind and Cloud" myself, I naturally wouldn't make the heroine of this drama look too weak.

In addition to the heroine, Lin Daoqiu now also needs to find a suitable director for this film.

After searching around, Lin Daoqiu was overwhelmed by the thought. He suddenly had to find a suitable person to direct "The Wind and Cloud", which really made him feel a bit embarrassed.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu's preference was Tsui Hark, but Lin Daoqiu did not want Tsui Hark to direct this film.

Because he has already directed "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" before, if you want to find him next, you should make some other types of movies.

Although martial arts-themed films are what Tsui Hark is good at, Lin Daoqiu also wanted to tap more talents in this area, so this time he did not plan to go to Tsui Hark, but planned to leave this opportunity to others.

"Who should I find to take the photo?"

Lin Daoqiu, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but start searching for the list of directors in his brain.
