Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

As the person who promoted zombie movies, "Mr. Zombie" can be said to be one of Lin Zhengying's masterpieces.

This movie was released in 1985 and earned 20 million at the box office. It can be said that this movie instantly made Lin Zhengying famous and established his status as the top brother in zombie movies.

The Uncle Jiu played by him is considered a very classic role, and many people even think that Lin Zhengying is actually the Taoist Master of Maoshan.

But now Lin Zhengying still doesn't know the importance of this "Mr. Zombie" to him.

And he didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would make a supernatural film at this time.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Daoqiu found that the expressions of Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa looked a little strange.

Although they don't think that Lin Daoqiu is going for Sammo Hung, it is indeed a bit strange to make the same type of movie at the same time.

Not to mention that this is a type that no one has photographed before. If it is just a coincidence, then it is really too much of a coincidence.

"No...no problem. Since Mr. Lin has spoken, we will have no problem."

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa quickly shook their heads.

When it comes to the person that actors in Hong Kong want to work with most right now, Lin Daoqiu is definitely the number one.

Not to mention that Lin Daoqiu was still the benefactor of both of them. He had already spoken to Lin Zhengying, so how could they refuse.

"This is the script. Take it back and take a look at it. Uncle Jiu will be responsible for the direction and action choreography of this drama."

"Uncle Nine? Who is Uncle Nine?"

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa looked up almost at the same time because they had never heard of the name Uncle Jiu.

Lin Daoqiu forgot that they hadn't read the script yet, so they didn't know who Uncle Jiu was.

"Uncle Jiu is the male protagonist of this drama, which is you, Aying."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Lin Zhengying pointed to her nose with a surprised expression.

It seems that he is both the leading actor and the action director, and he also has to play the role of director, which is really busy.

"You can just concentrate on studying the script and action scenes now. Remember, Uncle Jiu is a very powerful Taoist Master of Maoshan, so you must be fast and precise in martial arts, especially when subduing zombies."

It goes without saying that Lin Zhengying is very skilled, but this is his first time making a zombie film, so Lin Daoqiu still has to give him some help so that he can get started as soon as possible.

Lin Zhengying still seems to have some vague understanding of this drama, but with Lin Daoqiu's script, his worries can be alleviated a lot.

After seeing off Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa, Lin Daoqiu looked at the time and found that it was almost one o'clock, so he asked Fang Jinsheng to prepare a car to pick up Zhong Chuhong.

"Have Lou Nanguang and Qian Xiaohao been found?"

After getting in the car, Lin Daoqiu suddenly remembered what he had asked Fang Jinsheng to find someone before.

As Uncle Ying's two apprentices, these two people are naturally one of the important characters in this drama.

Lou Nanguang has just graduated from the TVB artist training class and is now doing a side job in Clear Water Bay, playing the role of a corpse.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't know his name, I'm afraid it would be impossible for Fang Jinsheng to find this person.

"We have found him. He has agreed to star in "Mr. Zombie"."

Because he has a very ordinary appearance and average acting skills, Lou Nanguang was not even able to sign an artist contract.

When Fang Jinsheng found him, Lou Nanguang immediately agreed and nodded rapidly as soon as he finished speaking.

But there was some trouble on Qian Xiaohao's side.

"Qian Xiaohao was filming "Shaolin and Wudang" directed by Zhang Cheh. He had already become a disciple of Zhang Cheh, so he did not agree to our invitation."

After Fang Jinsheng finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame. He couldn't even handle a seventeen-year-old child. He felt that he was too incompetent.

"It doesn't matter. Since he doesn't want to come, forget it. I'll find someone else."

Qian Xiaohao is not the key to this drama. Lin Daoqiu just wants to get the original cast together. Even if he is missing, there will be no impact.

It's not like there aren't many handsome people in Xiangjiang. At least Lin Daoqiu immediately thought of a versatile guy, and it just so happened that he also started to become an actor this year.

This man's name is Chen Xunqi, and he was originally a master of music scoring. At its peak, 75% of the films in Hong Kong and Baodao were composed by him.

But now he is probably tired of dubbing and wants to find something new to do, so becoming an actor has naturally become one of his choices.

…………

In order to prevent others from knowing about her relationship with Lin Daoqiu, Zhong Chuhong repeatedly ordered Lin Daoqiu not to meet her in Li's.

Even if she met her, she would treat her as if she didn't know her, because she didn't want others to gossip about her.

After Zhong Chuhong explained this, Lin Daoqiu naturally had no choice but to respect her opinion, so when he came to pick up Zhong Chuhong, he did not go into Li's, but parked the car on the side of the road and waited for her.

"Drive quickly."

Opening the car door and slipping into the back seat, she lowered her head and quickly gave orders to the driver. It seemed that Zhong Chuhong was already very skilled in this series of actions.

After the car had driven for a while, she dared to raise her head.

"If you didn't know better, I'd think you were a spy."

Lin Daoqiu watched it from beginning to end and couldn't help laughing at the end.

"This is not all because of you. If someone sees me getting into your car, I'm afraid everyone in Lili will start gossiping tomorrow. I don't like that."

Zhong Chuhong seemed a little unhappy when she said this. Although she didn't like to hide, she thought it would be better to deal with it this way for the time being rather than being discovered.

"Besides coming to see you today to send you home, I also have something to tell you."

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, Zhong Chuhong turned to look at him, her delicate little face full of doubts.

"There is a play that cannot find a female role, so I have to ask you to help me."

Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Daoqiu dubiously. If this was really the case, then she wouldn't mind helping Lin Daoqiu.

She felt that what Lin Daoqiu was talking about might just be an insignificant role, so she agreed without much thought.

Originally, the heroine of "Mr. Zombie" was Li Saifeng, but since she was only fifteen years old, it was too reluctant for her to play this role, so Lin Daoqiu planned to let Zhong Chuhong replace Li Saifeng.

In fact, there is no difficulty in this role, all you need to do is to be beautiful, and Zhong Chuhong can definitely pass the test.

"If it's just a favor, of course it's okay, as long as you don't think my acting is bad."

After joining Li's actor training class for a few days, Zhong Chuhong's eyes were opened. Only then did she realize that there are so many things to pay attention to in acting.

It took her a while to learn just how to move, let alone memorizing lines and performing those things.

Fortunately, Lin Zhengying still has to prepare for this drama for a while, at least a month or two, so there is still plenty of time for Zhong Chuhong to study.
