Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

When Liu Zhenwei arrived in a taxi, he found that in addition to Lin Daoqiu, Zhong Chuhong was also present.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong."

Liu Zhenwei greeted Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong respectfully, and then Lin Daoqiu asked him to sit down.

"I heard that you have been filming at Dongshi during this period. How have you been recently?"

Lin Daoqiu has not seen Liu Zhenwei for a long time.

Ever since he went to LA, the two of them had no chance to meet each other.

No wonder Liu Zhenwei was so excited when he suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern. I have been doing quite well in Dongshi during this period. I am occasionally asked to shoot movies, and my life is very fulfilling."

Although Liu Zhenwei says this, in fact it is obviously impossible to say that he does not want to make a movie.

Although the original "The Gambler" was not as big a blow to him as Stephen Chow, it was definitely not a good thing for Liu Zhenwei.

"The matter of "The Gambler" actually has something to do with me. I misjudged it at the beginning, so you wasted several months."

Lin Daoqiu did not say that he had misjudged the abilities of Liu Zhenwei and Stephen Chow, which somewhat saved Liu Zhenwei some face.

Of course Liu Zhenwei also knew that if it weren't for the fact that they failed to make the movie, Lin Daoqiu would not have canceled the movie.

After all, it is really not something that ordinary people can do if they don't want to invest millions of dollars.

Only Lin Daoqiu dared to do this, and in his opinion, the movie "The Gambler" he filmed before will probably not be released.

""The Gambler" will still be filmed, but it will have to be re-filmed, but not now."

Lin Daoqiu is somewhat of a promise to Liu Zhenwei, but it is unclear when this promise will be realized.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Liu Zhenwei didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

I'm happy that "The Gambler" will be filmed one day, but I just don't know when Lin Daoqiu plans to let them film it.

"I called you here this time because I have a play that I want you to try out."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

When Liu Zhenwei heard that Lin Daoqiu had another film to hand to him, he was both excited and nervous.

If the movie is not finished again this time, then he doesn't even know how shameful he would be to meet Lin Daoqiu.

"This play is called "Wind and Cloud". You must have heard of this before, right?"

"Feng...Fengyun?"

Liu Zhenwei, who had always lowered his head and kept a smile on his face, suddenly raised his head when he heard that Lin Daoqiu was going to give him the filming of "The Storm".

At this time, Liu Zhenwei's eyes were full of shock, because Lin Daoqiu's idea was simply unbelievable to him.

"Wind and Cloud" is a comic that Lin Daoqiu collaborated with Ma Rongcheng, and it has been rumored that this comic will be made into a movie.

As far as Liu Zhenwei knows, "The Storm" is a special effects blockbuster with an investment of at least 100 million.

He couldn't even film "The Gambler" for which he paid millions. Lin Daoqiu suddenly wanted to give him the filming of "The Wind and Cloud". Doesn't this look too high on him?

"Don't be so surprised. I didn't mean to ask you to make this movie alone. After all, the investment in "The Storm" is tens of millions, and it may even exceed 100 million in the end."

Lin Daoqiu has not yet completely decided what the final production budget of "The Wind and Cloud" will be.

But what is certain is that the final investment budget for this drama will definitely be around 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

And "The Storm" is aimed at all of Asia, so the production cost is so high.

If it were only for the Chinese market, the production cost would probably have to be cut in half.

Liu Zhenwei was relieved when he heard that Lin Daoqiu did not intend to let him be responsible for the filming of "The Storm" alone.

After all, Liu Zhenwei had not had much contact with special effects movies before.

Now Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him to be responsible for the shooting of a special effects blockbuster. Even if Lin Daoqiu thought highly of him, Liu Zhenwei didn't think he could do it.

"Now the two male leads of "The Storm" have been decided, and they have been practicing for half a year as planned. Now in addition to the director, we also need to find three female leads."

Liu Zhenwei hasn't had time to think about whether he wants to be a director or an assistant.

But Lin Daoqiu suddenly proposed to find three heroines, which immediately attracted Liu Zhenwei's attention.

"I plan to find new actors to play these three heroines. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Suddenly asked by Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei didn't know how to answer. After all, he hadn't had time to read the "Wind and Cloud" comic yet.

However, when Liu Zhenwei discovered that Zhong Chuhong was present, he mistakenly thought that Lin Daoqiu wanted Zhong Chuhong to participate in "The Storm".

"I think Miss Zhong can play one of the heroines?"

In Liu Zhenwei's opinion, Zhong Chuhong is a very good candidate regardless of her appearance, appearance or popularity.

But after Lin Daoqiu heard what Liu Zhenwei said, he directly shook his head and rejected Liu Zhenwei's proposal.

"I just said that I plan to find new actors to play these three heroines. You don't have to think about A Hong and Qing Xia."

Zhong Chuhong, Brigitte Lin, Zhao Yazhi, these top female stars, Lin Daoqiu does not intend to let them participate in "The Wind and Cloud".

After all, their ages are already here, and the protagonists of "The Storm" are basically in their early twenties.

If Zhong Chuhong is asked to play the heroine, Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok will not match her at all.

Although Lin Daoqiu could make "The Storm" an all-star movie by stacking stars, this is not the result he hopes to see.

"If you are a new actor, there are many choices, but I can't think of a few suitable ones at the moment. If Mr. Lin can give me some time, I will definitely be able to think of a few good candidates."

When mentioning actresses, Liu Zhenwei suddenly remembered the topic of "Hong Kong Hundred Flowers" that he and Hong Qide had just talked about.

There are only a few well-known female stars, but if this Hong Kong Hundred Flowers Spectrum can be established, it will be easier to choose the heroine.

And it doesn’t mean that all the top female stars can be on the list. Some female stars with potential can also be added to the list.

This will make it easier for everyone to find the heroine when the time comes.

Otherwise, they all rely on previous cooperation or recommendations from others, so the range of choices is really too narrow.

So after Liu Zhenwei hesitated for a while, he finally put forward Hong Qide's suggestion in front of Lin Daoqiu.

If Lin Daoqiu felt that it was not possible, then Liu Zhenwei would naturally pretend that he had never said anything and forget about it.
