Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"I'm very grateful to Mr. Lin for giving me this opportunity, but my beard has been with me for so many years. If I want to shave it off, I can't accept it."

Chen Xunqi's attitude was very clear. It was okay for him to act in this drama, but if he was asked to shave his beard, he could only refuse Lin Daoqiu's invitation.

Speaking of which, Lin Daoqiu had indeed never seen Chen Xunqi without trimming his beard in his last life. It seemed that the iconic mustache had been following him since the first time he saw him.

But this time Chen Xunqi will play Lin Zhengying's apprentice. If he plays the role of this young man with a beard, it will inevitably make people feel inconsistent.

After all, Chen Xunqi is already 28 years old this year, and Lin Zhengying is one year younger than him.

Although Lin Zhengying looks very old, it would be fine if he wore makeup and a beard, but it would be better if Chen Xunqi could shave off his beard.

The role of Qiu Sheng required a young man who could fight. Although it was easy to replace him, Lin Daoqiu couldn't think of anyone who was more suitable for this role.

Speaking of which, Yuan Biao is a good choice, and if he is hired, the box office will definitely be more secure, but Lin Daoqiu still can't make up his mind to let Yuan Biao act, after all, the real protagonist of this drama is Lin Zhengying.

"Why are you always frowning recently? Are you encountering something troublesome?"

Zhao Yazhi found that Lin Daoqiu would frown from time to time when he was thinking about things these days.

"It's not the drama of "Mr. Zombie" yet. Lin Zhengying's apprentice has been unable to find a suitable candidate. He originally came to find Chen Xunqi, but he refused to trim his beard. As a result, I can't find a more suitable candidate for a while.

"

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, Zhao Yazhi realized that Lin Daoqiu had been worried about this matter recently.

But she didn't have any good ideas. After all, Lin Daoqiu must know many more actors than she did.

Moreover, Run Run Shaw has ordered that Shaw Brothers actors are not allowed to star in New Oriental movies, so Lin Daoqiu has even fewer people to choose from.

If Run Run Shaw had not issued this order, Lin Daoqiu would definitely have more choices.

For example, David Jiang, Wang Yu, and Fu Sheng in Shaw Brothers, any one of them can play the role of Qiu Sheng well.

"Are the conditions you require too high? Why don't you try lowering some conditions?"

While Zhao Yazhi was rubbing Lin Daoqiu's head, trying to relieve his stress, she was also helping him think of a solution.

"My conditions are not high. I just need to be young, handsome and good at kung fu. Is it difficult to meet such conditions?"

Lin Daoqiu really couldn't think of any good way. If it didn't work, he could only remove Qian Xiaohao's role and let Xu Guanying and Chen You be Lin Zhengying's apprentices.

But if you do this, you have to replace Zhong Chuhong's role and find another actress to play the female ghost, and the emotional scene will unfold between Chen You and the female ghost.

After careful consideration, this may be the best way now, but if this is changed, the plot will change drastically.

"Forget it, Yuan Biao will be Yuan Biao."

Lin Daoqiu seemed too lazy to change the script, so he decided to hire Yuan Biao to play the role of Qiu Sheng.

Originally, Zhao Yazhi thought that this matter would pass like this, but unexpectedly, after a few minutes, Lin Daoqiu shook his head again.

It seems that he still can't make up his mind to let Yuan Biao play this role.

You must know that this drama will be filmed for several parts. If Yuan Biao is not available by then, or if Jiahe deliberately delays it and does not let him act, wouldn't it be necessary to find another candidate?

But the audience has already identified Yuan Biao, and a substitution may have unknown effects, so Lin Daoqiu couldn't make up his mind.

"There must be a road to the mountain. Don't worry so much. It would be better if your relationship with Uncle Six hadn't changed. Not to mention Shaw Brothers, there are many outstanding actors in the TVB training class."

Zhao Yazhi just said it casually, but she had no intention of letting Lin Daoqiu bow to Shaw on his own initiative.

But when she finished saying this, Lin Daoqiu suddenly raised his head and looked at her.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Zhao Yazhi thought she said something to make Lin Daoqiu unhappy.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head first, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"It's nothing. Since I can't find anyone from Shaw Brothers, I can try my luck at Li's. TVB is not the only one in Hong Kong that has artist training classes."

After Zhao Yazhi mentioned it, Lin Daoqiu thought that Li's also had an artist training class.

But because of Zhong Chuhong, he has never paid attention to it, but now maybe he can try his luck.

If there is really no other way, the worst possible option is to choose someone from Li's group.

…………

"Mr. Lin, why are you free to come here today? Are you planning to film the third TV series?"

Although Huang Xizhao said this, he actually knew very well that with Lin Daoqiu's current status, it was already impossible for him to film a TV series in person.

Moreover, the previous two films have already brought huge profits to Li. Lin Daoqiu has the final say as to when the third film will be filmed, or whether it will be filmed.

"Actually, I came here today to see if there are any suitable actors in Li's. I recently had a movie where I couldn't find a suitable actor."

Huang Xizhao nodded while listening. Originally, he was expecting Lin Daoqiu to come to talk about the third TV series, but now it seems that this TV series is really far away.

"I'll ask Ah Xiong to show Mr. Lin around. I believe most of the actors in Li's already know Mr. Lin, except for those who are still in the artist training class."

Not long after Huang Xizhao finished speaking, McDonald opened the door and walked in. When he saw Lin Daoqiu, McDonald was obviously stunned.

"Director Mai, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

It seems that Lin Daoqiu and McDonald have not seen each other for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. You are now a film tycoon in Xiangjiang. Please help me if you have the opportunity in the future."

Although it sounded like McDonald's was just joking, Lin Daoqiu knew very well that McDonald's was definitely not just talking casually.

At this time, McDonald already had the idea of ​​leaving Li's to pursue a career in the film industry. If he could get Lin Daoqiu's support, it would be a great help to him.

"Director Mai is very polite. If you need anything in the future, just ask me. After all, we fought side by side back then."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind giving some opportunities to McDonald, because this guy is still very good at making realistic movies.

It's a pity that the subject matter he chose is not very popular with the public, so it is difficult to do well in terms of box office results.

However, at this time, McDonald's didn't know what Lin Daoqiu thought about him, so after hearing the other party's answer, McDonald's couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
