Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Being stared at by Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin like this, Lin Daoqiu felt extremely stressed.

But at this time, it was impossible for him to talk to Zhong Chuhong or Brigitte Lin.

If he dares to take any of these steps, I believe he will suffer a lot later.

So Lin Daoqiu simply pretended that he didn't see anything and turned his head back.

After Fang Jinsheng saw Lin Daoqiu's actions, he knew that he should do nothing now and just stay nearby.

Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin found that Lin Daoqiu did not stand up when they saw them, but turned his head back, which really made them feel very dissatisfied.

But when they turned around and found that the other party was also looking at them, Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin could understand to some extent why Lin Daoqiu pretended not to see them.

If it were them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be embarrassed to get up and walk towards one of them at this time, because it would be a kind of torture for Lin Daoqiu.

Fortunately, the organizer this time did not arrange the seats of Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin very close to each other. Although they were both in the same row, they were separated by several seats.

As the director in charge of the premiere today, Tsui Hark naturally had to go on stage to deliver a speech.

Lin Daoqiu, on the other hand, just fulfilled his duties as an audience throughout the whole process and sat in his chair to watch the movie.

After the post-production of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was completed, Lin Daoqiu watched it carefully several times.

After confirming that there were basically no problems, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" could be released smoothly.

However, for Tsui Hark, it was really a pity that he did not have the editing rights for "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp".

After all, this movie costs a lot of money, and it is also a special effects movie produced locally in Hong Kong. As a director who highly values ​​special effects, it is Tsui Hark's dream to be able to make a special effects movie of his own.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu has mentioned before that the production cost of special effects movies will be reduced a lot in the future, which means that he will also have the opportunity to make special effects movies according to his own ideas.

For example, "The Storm", a movie adapted from a comic book, requires the use of a lot of special effects.

But so far, Tsui Hark only knows that Lin Daoqiu has chosen two newcomers, Zheng Yinjian and Aaron Kwok, to play the leading roles in this drama.

But so far, there has not been any updated news about "The Wind and Cloud", such as the director.

Tsui Hark actually hopes to see if he can win the directorship of "The Wind and Cloud". After all, he already has experience in filming "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Compared with other directors in Hong Kong, he is relatively experienced in special effects movies.

When he thought of this, Tsui Hark couldn't help but get excited and went on stage to start his speech.

After Tsui Hark finished speaking, the protagonists of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" also came on stage to speak some words one after another, chatting about their views on the play and some interesting things in it.

After the host finished interviewing the main creative team, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" officially began to air.

In recent years, as Lin Daoqiu has successively made several large-scale special effects movies, the opening of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is no longer as shocking as before.

But after these years of hard work, the changes in picture quality are still clearly noticeable. Compared with the movies of ten years ago, there has been a lot of progress, and this is not just in terms of special effects.

Tsui Hark was sitting next to Lin Daoqiu. Not long after the movie started, he returned to his seat and sat down.

At first, the director of this drama was Lin Zhengying and others, but Lin Zhengying was going to film a TV series later, so Lin Daoqiu simply asked Tsui Hark to take over the remaining filming work.

Fortunately, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has a complete script. As long as Tsui Hark follows the script, there will be no problems.

If this were not the case, Lin Daoqiu would not dare to hand over "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to Tsui Hark, because in the end you don't know what he will make.

But Tsui Hark doesn't know what Lin Daoqiu really thinks of him. He is still thinking about when he will find an opportunity to take over the director of "The Storm" from Lin Daoqiu.

"Previously, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa went to the mainland to collect folk songs. Part of the plot of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was adapted from the stories they collected."

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly chatted with Tsui Hark about the creation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Tsui Hark nodded while listening. He had heard these things mentioned by others before.

"When shooting a movie, the script is a very important thing, and it is also something that needs to be treated very rigorously. What do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned the topic to the creation of the script.

Tsui Hark would naturally not object to Lin Daoqiu's remarks.

But he is a bit unscrupulous when it comes to making movies. Sometimes what was agreed today will have to be changed tomorrow, and many times the original plot will be changed when a sudden inspiration comes to the scene.

This is also one of the most important reasons why he and John Woo finally turned against each other in the previous life.

"Mr. Lin, the creation of scripts is very important. Sometimes a sudden inspiration on the scene will create some unexpected effects for the movie. I don't think we should stick to the script too tightly. After all, the script can be changed."

Regarding Tsui Hark's rebuttal, Lin Daoqiu would naturally not say it was wrong, because there was nothing wrong with his words.

The problem is that Tsui Hark's sudden ideas sometimes make the plot of the movie feel inconsistent.

But it cannot be denied that Tsui Hark does have his own uniqueness in creating characters and giving them characteristics, but it is a pity that he could not do better.

"I can understand what you mean, but not everyone has control. If the execution is not in place, the unbridled imagination will only cause the film to have flaws that should not be there in the end, and it will not even be possible to tell the story clearly."

Tsui Hark knew that Lin Daoqiu was tactfully criticizing his lack of control over the plot, as the film became a little skewed during filming.

But Tsui Hark believed that he had done the best he could, so he only accepted Lin Daoqiu's words as nothing.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly discovered that Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin suddenly looked towards him at the same time.

He quickly pointed to the big screen and said.

“The photography here is great.”

Tsui Hark looked at Lin Daoqiu with a blank expression. He had no idea why the other party suddenly said this.

"Um...well, thank you Mr. Lin."

For a moment, Tsui Hark didn't know what to say to Lin Daoqiu.

He originally thought he had a chance to win over the director of "The Storm", but through the conversation just now, Tsui Hark realized that Lin Daoqiu would not give him the role of "The Storm".

And when Lin Daoqiu really leaves "The Wind and Cloud" to be filmed by himself, the script will probably be very restrictive, and it will be impossible for him to have too much room to express himself.
