Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Should Maggie Cheung be replaced to star in "Meng Gui Guan"?"

Wen Jun suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu, telling him that Maggie Cheung would be replaced to star in "The Ghost Story". This made Wen Jun not know what to say for a moment.

That's not to say that this drama wouldn't have been possible without Maggie Cheung, but what Wen Jun is curious about is why the role was suddenly changed at this time?

You must know that it was Huang Baiming's idea for Maggie Cheung to star in "The Girl Who Wants You", and she was still asked to play the heroine in it. Is there anything wrong with this?

"Brother Qiu, we have already chosen Maggie Cheung to play "Girls in Hardcover", and the script is tailor-made for her. You suddenly replaced us..."

This is not an excuse by Wen Jun. What he said is the truth. If Lin Daoqiu wants to replace Maggie Cheung, he will have to find a suitable heroine for them.

Originally, Wen Jun didn't have much expectations for Maggie Cheung to play the heroine at first. He just felt that her appearance and age were very suitable for the role of Dong Dong, so he agreed.

But now Lin Daoqiu suddenly proposed to replace her, which suddenly made Wenjun interested in the actress Maggie Cheung.

We must know that actors, whether male or female, who are generally favored by Lin Daoqiu can quickly rise to the top. Is it possible that Maggie Cheung is the female star Lin Daoqiu plans to cultivate in the near future? Or is she even related to Lin Daoqiu?

The more he thought about it, the weirder Wen Juan became, suddenly he had the idea of ​​leaving Maggie Cheung behind.

"What do you mean, you insist that Maggie Cheung stay and star in "Girls in Hardcover"?"

Lin Daoqiu on the other end of the phone did not expect Wen Juan to say this. He originally thought that Wen Juan would agree immediately after he finished talking to the other party.

However, Wenjun has his concerns, and Lin Daoqiu is very supportive. He also hopes that Wenjun can maintain this idea, but it must be out of the perspective of thinking about the movie. If he has other ideas, then Lin Daoqiu may not be very interested.

Happy.

"If possible, I certainly hope that Maggie Cheung can continue to star in this drama, because the creation of the script is already in progress. If the heroine is changed, the creation of the script will have to be started all over again."

After hearing what Wen Juan said, Lin Daoqiu hesitated for a while and then answered.

"If that's the case, then we'll do it according to your wishes, but you'd better coordinate with Liu Zhenwei."

Lin Daoqiu agreed to let Maggie Cheung continue to star in "Girls in Hardcover", and then he hung up the phone.

"Why does Brother Qiu suddenly want to replace Maggie Cheung?"

After watching Wen Juan put down the phone, Zheng Danrui looked at Wen Juan curiously and asked.

"If you ask me, then who should I ask?"

The information that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui knew was basically the same, but fortunately, he still kept Maggie Cheung.

Although he didn't know Lin Daoqiu's intention, Wen Juan had a hunch that Maggie Cheung might soar into the sky soon.

"Do you think it was Maggie Cheung who went to Mr. Lin and told him that she didn't want to act in "Girls in Hardcover"?"

A suspicion suddenly popped up in Zheng Danrui's mind. He suspected that Maggie Cheung went to Lin Daoqiu and told her that she didn't want to act in "Girls in Hardcover", so Lin Daoqiu made the call to ask for a replacement.

After listening to Zheng Danrui's guess, Wen Juan shook his head directly.

"There should be no such possibility, because if that were the case, Brother Qiu would definitely insist on replacing the actress, and would not let her stay and act just because of my few words."

Zheng Danrui nodded while listening. He also felt that what Zheng Danrui said made sense, but as for the truth of the matter, this is really an intriguing thing.

…………

The preparations for the filming of "The Ghost Story" were faster than those of "The Girl Who Wants to Be Hardcover". Just after the Chinese New Year, Andrew Lau and Wong Kar-Wai had already assembled the crew.

The three leading actors and several supporting roles have been finalized, and the script is also filling in the details.

It is expected that "Menggui Mission" will enter the stage of actual shooting in a month's time.

With the end of the Spring Festival, the four movies released in the Spring Festival this year have also come to an end.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" leads the pack with a box office score of 80 million, and deserves to be the champion of this year's Spring Festival.

The second place was taken by "A Better Tomorrow" with a score of 43 million, and "A Better Man" was in third place with a score of 35 million.

As for "God of Gamblers 2", which had a high opening and a low sales, it failed to break through the 30 million box office in the end, and ended up stuck at 29 million. This made Wen Jun and Wang Jing almost embarrassed to see others.

There has been a lot of criticism of "God of Gamblers 2" from the outside world, and it basically all falls on the plot.

This time, Lin Daoqiu's name did not appear on the staff list of "God of Gamblers 2", so everyone naturally blamed the director and screenwriter of this drama.

But on the other side of Jiahe, something big happened.

After hesitating for several days, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang finally made up their minds to cooperate with Sammo Hung and others and invest in their new film in Hollywood.

Being invited to join Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao seemed to be in a very good mood, because what they had been dreaming about was finally coming true.

"San Mao, A Biao, please sit down quickly."

After entering Zou Wenhuai's office, Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with the two of them, then invited them to sit on the sofa next to them.

"Mr. Zou, I am very grateful that Golden Harvest is willing to invest in our new film in Hollywood. I am really grateful."

If it were a movie shot in Hong Kong, even if Lin Daoqiu didn't provide the money, Sammo Hung and the others could easily find people to invest in their new movie.

But if it were a movie that was going to be released in Hollywood, there would be almost no one willing to invest in them.

If Golden Harvest hadn't been willing to help this time, Sammo Hung would have been really worried that they would have to go to Hollywood and start playing supporting roles and slowly work their way up.

When they really want to become a big star in Hollywood like Jackie Chan, they don't know how much time will pass before they can do it.

But things are getting better now. With the help of Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are confident that this drama will be a hit in Hollywood and other places.

"You're welcome Sanmao, everyone helps each other. After all, we always cooperated very happily back then, but there were some problems during the period. But it's fine now. You are back in Jiahe. I believe that as long as everyone works together, we will be able to succeed

Hollywood has created a new world."

It seems that Zou Wenhuai is very confident about the future, and He Guanchang next to him also looks the same.

After all, for Golden Harvest, if their plan to invest in Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao still fails, then they will really have to consider putting the company away and living a retired life.

Therefore, the cooperation with Sammo Hung and the others can almost be called Golden Harvest's last ditch effort in the film industry.
