Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

In the end, McDonald's fulfilled his vow and changed the title of Lin Daoqiu from him back to Mr. Lin.

Because they had to abide by the agreement, Li's management did not immediately announce the news of Liu Songren's transfer to Li's, and everyone understood it tacitly.

In late June, Lam Ching-ying, Miao Kexiu, Wan Ziliang, Li Ying, Dong Biao, Lai Hanchi and Leslie Cheung all appeared at the opening ceremony of "Ip Man".

Compared with the previous TVB's "Chu Liuxiang", the opening ceremony of "Ip Man" this time is obviously much inferior.

The director of "Ip Man" was Xu Xiaoming, who was better at filming martial arts scenes from the early Republic of China.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu also wanted to use this opportunity to familiarize Xu Xiaoming with this type of routine.

I hope it can provide him with some valuable experience when filming "The Hero Fearless" in the future.

"Excuse me, why did you choose Lin Zhengying as the leading actor in this "Ip Man"? There should be other more suitable candidates, right?"

When reporters were asking questions, someone suddenly brought up an embarrassing topic.

When Lin Zhengying heard this, a very embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He did not expect that the other party would be so disrespectful and ask directly in front of so many people.

Not only the reporter, I'm afraid many people can't understand why Lin Daoqiu insisted on using Lin Zhengying to play Ip Man.

He's not famous. He's never been a leading actor, and he's very average-looking. He's been playing small roles before, and his only achievement is being the director of "Master Qian."

Lin Daoqiu had already mentioned this matter to Xu Xiaoming before, so when the other party asked questions, Xu Xiaoming did not show any embarrassed expression.

"The producer of this drama is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin. He chose the male lead, and he just won the box office championship in Hong Kong not long ago. Dear reporter, are you doubting his vision?"

"I don't deny that Mr. Lin is indeed very powerful, but this is a TV series, and Director Xu doesn't seem to have answered my questions yet."

The reporter quickly shook his head, but he had no intention of just avoiding the topic.

"I have already said that the male lead was decided by Mr. Lin. The reason is actually very simple, that is because Mr. Lin Zhengying can fight."

The more Xu Xiaoming talked, the more excited he became. He even pulled out Lin Zhengying and Miao Kexiu: "In order to film this movie, the two of them practiced Wing Chun hard for several months under the guidance of Mr. Ye Zhun, just to let the audience see the true meaning of Wing Chun."

effort."

Obviously they had only practiced for less than a month, but according to Xu Xiaoming, it turned into several months of hard training.

But this is just a way to deal with reporters, and not many people know about it. As long as the effect of the film is good enough, who will ask how long Lin Zhengying has been practicing.

When the people around heard what Xu Xiaoming said, they all looked at Lin Zhengying and Miao Kexiu with admiration, which made Lin Zhengying blush a little.

"There are rumors outside that "Ip Man" is competing with TVB's "Chen Liuxiang". Many people say that Li's film is trying to kill a stone with an egg. I wonder what Director Xu thinks?"

Xu Xiaoming sneered and said: ""Chu Liuxiang" brings together TVB's popular niche actors and actresses. It is normal to get good ratings. I have nothing to say."

"Director Xu's implication is that he who worked on "Chu Liuxiang" only relied on stars, while on "Ip Man" he relied on real kung fu?"

"I didn't say that, but you are free to write it however you want. When the film is produced, it will be up to the audience to judge whether it is good or bad. What I said does not count."

Although Xu Xiaoming denies it, anyone who is not a fool can hear what he is saying.

After the opening ceremony, all the leading actors had to take makeup photos. It was only then that Lin Daoqiu arrived belatedly.

"Thank you, Director Xu." Lin Daoqiu was naturally referring to the questions asked by reporters just now.

Xu Xiaoming waved his hand, looking unconcerned. After all, he had encountered this situation countless times, and to him it was actually not a big deal.

"Mr. Lin is too polite. In fact, I have carefully studied the script of this play before. I was so excited when I read it. I have to thank Mr. Lin for writing such a good script."

The reason why Xu Xiaoming dared to satirize TVB in front of reporters on stage was because Lin Daoqiu's script gave him the confidence.

"To be honest, I was puzzled by Mr. Lin's decision to play the leading role of Lam Ching-ying before, but when I saw him doing a set of Wing Chun a few days ago, I immediately understood Mr. Lin's intention.

"

Although the filming of the film has not yet started, Xu Xiaoming feels that with Lin Zhengying's skills, even if he cannot show any wonderful performance in the literary drama, he will definitely be wonderful in the fighting drama.

If it was just a simple martial arts drama, maybe Xu Xiaoming wouldn't care too much, but this "Ip Man" is about an ordinary martial arts practitioner who, in that special situation, did something that ordinary people would do.

Things that cannot be accomplished.

He was a son of a wealthy family who lost everything due to the war, but his wife's persistence supported him through those difficult years. In the end, he defeated the arrogant Colonel R.B., and then left quietly.

Although Xu Xiaoming had thought about changing the final ending to being robbed and beaten to death by the Japanese army like Chen Zhen, how could Ip Man say that Ip Man also lived in Xiangjiang for so long and taught a disciple like Bruce Lee?

If he makes random changes like this, I'm afraid even ordinary viewers will write to the TV station to protest against his random changes, if not Ye Zhun's side.

"It's a good thing that Director Xu is confident. The preparation time for this drama is a bit long, so now we can only film and broadcast at the same time. Director Xu will have to work hard during this time."

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zhengying had to practice Wing Chun decently, I'm afraid the filming of this drama would have started long ago. And if it weren't for Lin Zhengying's good foundation, I'm afraid it would have to wait for a while before filming could start.

"If I film this drama slowly, I guarantee that it will be a masterpiece."

Xu Xiaoming didn't want to rush into filming. After all, the actors and the script were both very good. If it was carefully crafted, he felt that there was a great possibility that it could be made into a classic TV series.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. This "Ip Man" director Xu will just use it as a practice. If you have any good ideas, you can add them to the TV series you want to shoot in the future."

Lin Daoqiu was naturally talking about the movie "The Great Hero Fearless" filmed by Xu Xiaoming.

When Xu Xiaoming heard this, he could only nod. After all, it had been decided beforehand, and he couldn't say anything. He just told Lin Daoqiu that he would try his best to make this "Ip Man" well and would not ruin the script written by Lin Daoqiu.
