Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Yuan Biao has never been a leading actor, but his first movie made tens of millions at the box office. I wonder what Mr. Mai thinks?"

Lin Daoqiu's words immediately left McDonald speechless. If it were him, he would never let a newcomer star.

But he was not willing to give up just like that. McDonald felt that he should at least find someone well-known to play the role of Ip Man, instead of using the almost newbie Lam Ching-ying.

"There are still many differences between TV series and movies. I don't deny that Mr. Lin is very successful in movies, but based on my many years of experience in making TV series, Lin Zhengying is really not suitable."

McDonald's attitude was very determined. He wanted to persuade Lin Daoqiu to give up letting Lin Zhengying play Ip Man.

The characters of Lin Daoqiu and McDonald are actually very similar, but one shows it on his face and the other hides it in his heart, but they are actually both stubborn.

"Mr. Mai is too arbitrary. You think Lin Zhengying is not good just based on your own conjecture. I forgive you for not accepting your opinion."

Lin Daoqiu is the producer of this drama, and McDonald is only here to assist him. He can accept the other party's opinions, or turn a deaf ear to what McDonald says.

Unexpectedly, the two of them already had differences before filming started. This may not be a good sign for the "Ip Man" drama.

It seemed that he felt that he should not mess up his relationship with Lin Daoqiu. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, McDonald had no choice but to temporarily bow to the other party.

"Okay Mr. Lin, then we will tentatively decide on Lin Zhengying as the male lead. If he is not suitable by then..."

Before McDonald finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stopped and turned back to look at him seriously.

"When Mr. Huang first approached me, he said that I would have the final say on how the film would be shot, and everyone at Li would cooperate unconditionally. Because of this, I agreed to take on these three films."

McDonald didn't expect Lin Daoqiu's attitude to be so resolute. He originally planned to find a way to replace Lin Daoqiu later, but now it seems that he may have thought too much.

Not to mention a replacement, I'm afraid this drama has no voice at all. With such a young and frivolous guy in the cast, McDonald felt that he was really unlucky.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin can shoot whatever he likes. It seems like there's no need for me anymore, so I wish Mr. Lin success." McDonald simply threw up his hands and decided not to care about the film.

Lin Daoqiu never thought of forcing McDonald to join the creation of this drama. After all, their personalities seemed to be mutually exclusive.

If Lin Daoqiu was that kind of good old man, he might be able to work happily with McDonald, but unfortunately he is not.

"In that case, Mr. Mai, go and get busy. I'll let Ari take me around." After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Watching Lin Daoqiu's leaving figure, McDonald shook his head helplessly. He felt that he had to go and have a discussion with Huang Xizhao about whether Lin Daoqiu should be allowed to finish filming the three films.

He is now very doubtful whether Lin Daoqiu can successfully film "Ip Man". He even feels that even if this drama does not become a hit, it may not get any good ratings.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that Zheng Danrui was in the screenwriting department on the third floor. After going down the stairs, he went there according to his previous memory.

When he came to a corner and just walked over, he suddenly saw a woman walking towards him.

Just when the two people were about to pass each other, Lin Daoqiu saw the other person's appearance clearly, and then he immediately stopped.

Miao Kexiu, who had just been signed by Li's to host a variety show, was about to go upstairs for rehearsal when she suddenly found a young man looking at her motionless, which made her feel funny.

But she was used to being looked at like this, especially by men, so Miao Kexiu didn't think it was anything.

"Miss Miao, please wait a moment." Miao Kexiu was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Daoqiu, who had already come to his senses.

In Bruce Lee's movies, Miao Kexiu can be said to be a well-deserved goddess. Anyone who has watched "Fist of Fury" and "Way of the Dragon" starring Bruce Lee will definitely be impressed by her.

At that time, she could be said to be a goddess-level figure who was popular in Hong Kong and was called Princess Jiahe. However, unfortunately, Bruce Lee's untimely death seemed to have taken away Miao Kexiu's good luck.

After staying in Jiahe until her contract expired, Miao Kexiu left Jiahe, and then moved between Baodao and Xiangjiang to film dramas, but there was no improvement.

Later, in order to support Jackie Chan, Luo Wei invited Miao Kexiu to film several movies, hoping to portray Jackie Chan as the second Bruce Lee, but unfortunately the box office was not good.

"Is something wrong?" Miao Kexiu turned around and looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled face. She didn't understand why the other party stopped her.

Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and said, "Hello, Miss Miao, my name is Lin Daoqiu. I'm glad to see you here."

Miao Kexiu had never heard of Lin Daoqiu's name and thought she had met a movie fan. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, do you want me to sign your autograph?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head and said: "Put aside the signature matter for now. Actually, I want to ask Miss Miao to do me a favor."

Miao Kexiu and Lin Daoqiu met for the first time, and the other party actually asked her to help. This made Miao Kexiu not very happy, after all, she didn't know the other party.

If this wasn't Li's TV station, I'm afraid Miao Kexiu would have turned around and left.

"Miss Miao, don't get me wrong. Actually, I want you to play the heroine in my TV series." Lin Daoqiu saw Miao Kexiu's unhappy expression, so he quickly explained to her.

But after hearing this, Miao Kexiu did not look happy at all. Instead, she became even more suspicious, because Lin Daoqiu looked too young and did not look like a person capable of filming a TV series.

Maybe the other party just wanted to pursue her, so she made up a random excuse to attract her attention. If this was the case, Miao Kexiu would probably let the other party down.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I won't accept drama invitations easily, so I'm afraid I won't be able to be Mr. Lin's heroine. I have something to do, so I'll excuse you."

After Miao Kexiu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Lin Daoqiu originally wanted to catch up and explain to him, but he suddenly stopped as soon as he took a step forward.

I'm afraid that even if I tell the truth now, the other party won't believe it, so it's more practical to find someone to accompany me to see her.

McDonald was in the office sorting out the script for today's shooting. Just as he was concentrating on his work, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Just as he raised his head, before he could scold the other person, McDonald was pulled up from the chair by Lin Daoqiu.

"Accompany me to meet someone." Lin Daoqiu said as he pulled McDonald out.

"Do you need to be so anxious? People won't run away. Stop pulling. The handle is about to break..." Just like that, Lin Daoqiu pulled McDonald out of his office.

On the way to find Miao Kexiu, when McDonald learned that Lin Daoqiu wanted her to play Ip Man's wife, he immediately showed a strange expression.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​letting Miao Kexiu play the heroine?" McDonald wanted to find out what Lin Daoqiu was thinking. As for whether this choice was good or not, he no longer planned to express his opinion.

"When I first met her, I took a closer look and found that she was quite suitable, so I decided on the spot that it was her."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, McDonald suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Daoqiu with a shocked expression.

"In other words, you never thought about finding her as the heroine before, but you just happened to meet her, so you gave her the role?"

McDonald hoped that Lin Daoqiu would quickly deny his statement, otherwise he might really be angry to death on the spot.
