Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

At this time, Er Dongsheng was only 24 years old, and he still had four years to go before he directed his first movie, "The Story of a Mad Man."

If Er Dongsheng is promoted to director rashly, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

Even though he grew up in a film family, it is infinitely more difficult to do it personally than to listen or watch it.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu is not in a hurry to let Er Dongsheng transform into a director. He has no such plans for at least two years.

At this time, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa also walked to Lin Daoqiu's table holding wine glasses.

Since Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left Xiangjiang, Lin Zhengying has been free all of a sudden.

Normally when he is not filming his own movies, he would go to help Sammo Hung.

"Uncle Jiu, when are you going to start filming "Mr. Zombie"?"

Lin Daoqiu's question immediately attracted the attention of other people at his table.

You must know that before "The Best Partner", the box office of "Mr. Zombie" was astonishingly high. Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that Lin Zhengying would rush into filming the second part.

However, Lin Zhengying, who was striving for excellence in his own movies, suddenly slowed down and did not immediately release the sequel to "Mr. Zombie". Instead, he settled down and polished it slowly.

"I'm still not satisfied with the script, and there are still some details that need to be rethought, but it should be ready to start filming this year."

Lin Zhengying knew that Lin Daoqiu was just asking casually and did not want to urge him to make the movie.

Otherwise, it would have been such a long time, and Lin Daoqiu would not have been able to stop asking questions.

After Lin Zhengying finished his answer, Lin Daoqiu just nodded and said nothing. He just told Lin Zhengying to come to his office tomorrow.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The combination of Lin Zhengying and Lin Daoqiu has always been a box office guarantee from the beginning of "Master Qian" to the present.

Although I still don’t know what Lin Daoqiu plans to use to compete with the movie co-produced by Xu Guanwen and Shi Tian during the Spring Festival next year.

But if Lin Daoqiu considers using the sequel of "Mr. Zombie" to compete with his opponent, I'm afraid Xu Guanwen will have a headache.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu had never thought about using "Mr. Zombie" to compete with his opponent in the ring.

After all, movies that are going to be released during the Spring Festival, movies with ghosts and ghosts, horror movies, etc. are still not suitable.

Even though a large part of "Mr. Zombie" contains funny elements, Lin Daoqiu still never thought about using this drama to compete with his opponent.

The next day, Lin Zhengying took Zhong Fa and the two of them to Lin Daoqiu's office.

"Mr. Lin, are you planning to compete with the sequel of "Mr. Zombie" and Xu Guanwen's new film?"

Zhong Fa and others had the same idea, and they all believed that Lin Daoqiu planned to do this.

However, Lin Daoqiu did not answer Zhong Fa's words. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Lin Zhengying and asked him.

"Does Uncle Jiu think so too?"

After Lin Zhengying hesitated for a few seconds, he shook his head.

"A movie like "Mr. Zombie" seems too inappropriate to be released during the Chinese New Year, right?"

Lin Zhengying has not talked with Lin Daoqiu before, these are his own opinions only.

Regarding Lin Zhengying's doubts, Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded.

"Uncle Jiu is right. Movies to be released during the Spring Festival must be watched by the whole family. If "Mr. Zombie" is shown, it may scare away many people."

Even though the reputation of this drama is very good, there are still many timid people who dare not enter the theater, which will affect part of the box office.

Therefore, if Lin Daoqiu wants to compete with his opponent, he must consider using other movies.

In fact, in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, it should be enough to compete with them in the sequel of "The Best Partner" next year.

After all, Xu Guanwen was only given one year, and it was difficult for him to produce works that satisfied him.

It is even possible that Xu Guanwenhui, Bao Shaogang and the others may fall out in the end, so Lin Daoqiu has no intention of paying too much attention to them.

"Actually, I invited you here today because I have a movie and I want you to be the martial arts designer."

When Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa heard this, they immediately became interested. Could it be that Lin Daoqiu planned to make an action movie?

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa agreed to Lin Daoqiu's request without even thinking about it.

Martial arts directors are their specialty, not to mention that Lin Zhengying was also a martial arts director admired by Bruce Lee. It would be absolutely no problem for him to be the martial arts designer for this film.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, just leave everything to us."

Zhong Fa patted his chest and assured Lin Daoqiu. He seemed to be full of confidence.

After all, they have been making kung fu movies for so many years and they have never had any problems, so Zhong Fa naturally has nothing to worry about.

Lin Zhengying's thoughts were similar to Zhong Fa's, and he never thought he would encounter any difficulties.

But what none of them expected was that Lin Daoqiu suddenly shook his head and said.

"This movie is indeed a kung fu movie, but it's a little different from the ones you made before."

When Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa heard this, they both had puzzled expressions on their faces almost at the same time.

They have been making kung fu movies for so many years, what subject matter have they never encountered?

Ancient costumes, modern times, gods and monsters, martial arts, can't Lin Daoqiu come up with any new tricks?

"The movie I'm going to shoot is based on the Xianxia series, so the martial arts aspect will be very different from previous kung fu movies."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said these words, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa were immediately confused.

Xianxia movie? What is that? They have never heard of it before.

"Don't be nervous. This thing is still in the exploratory stage, but I have already thought about the direction of large-scale production. We will discuss it together when the time comes."

Lin Daoqiu rarely makes movies in person now, but this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is of great significance to him, so this time, Lin Daoqiu plans to personally direct it.

After all, this is the first time for this type of movie to appear in Xiangjiang. There are many parts that they don't know how to do, so Lin Daoqiu must personally guide it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will do our best to do what you asked us to do when the time comes."

Lin Zhengying did not dare to boast that he would be able to complete the tasks assigned by Lin Daoqiu 100%. All he could do was do his best.

"Don't worry. I believe that with your abilities, you can get started quickly as long as you get the hang of it."

In addition to Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa, Lin Daoqiu plans to let Yuan Heping be the director of this drama.

What he wanted to do was to combine the strengths of these people and make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" perfect when the time came. This could be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes.
