Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

In order to write the third part of "Five Lucky Stars".

Lin Daoqiu didn't go anywhere that day. After get off work, he went home directly.

After eating, he locked himself in his study and roughly wrote out the plot based on what he had seen.

The third part of "Five Lucky Stars" is called "The Lucky Stars Shine High".

Originally, the cast of this drama was very luxurious.

In addition to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, there are also Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Lin Zhengying, Hu Huizhong and others.

But now, Jackie Chan is far away in Hollywood filming "Red Zone" and it is unlikely that he will come back to help with the cameo.

So Lin Daoqiu had to change the role of Jackie Chan to someone else.

As for the role of Hu Huizhong's Overlord Flower, Lin Daoqiu is ready to hand it over to Brigitte Lin.

After all, Brigitte Lin was also present when she was talking to Sammo Hung and the others at the theater.

It can be said that Brigitte Lin plays the female police officer, which is very suitable.

But since Lin Daoqiu is the screenwriter, some of the explicit scenes will inevitably be deleted.

But since it is a Lunar New Year film that will be released during the Spring Festival, the star cast must not be too shabby.

In addition to the previous Five Lucky Stars, Yuen Biao, Fu Sheng, Brigitte Lin, Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa, plus Ti Lung, Jiang David and some supporting actors will star.

Looking at it this way, the cast of "Lucky Star" is pretty good. After all, not three of them starred in "The Mummy" last year.

Needless to say, Brigitte Lin, she is now an internationally renowned Chinese female star.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are also well-known in Southeast Asia. Coupled with the stars of Shaw Brothers, Lin Daoqiu is very satisfied with the lineup he has constructed.

With such a luxurious lineup, looking at Hong Kong, it can be said that the stars are shining brightly.

In future generations, I would not want to invite so many stars to act in a play, unless there is a special occasion.

Otherwise, the actor's salary alone is enough to be prohibitive.

…………

"The name of this play is "The Lucky Star Shines High". In addition to the Five Lucky Stars, the protagonists this time are Yuan Biao and Fu Sheng. As for the other characters, I have written them all."

The next day, in the conference room, Lin Daoqiu handed over the script and outline of "The Lucky Star" he had written overnight to everyone sitting next to him.

Most of the plot has been written out, and the remaining details are left to Sammo Hung and Wang Jing to fill in.

For Lin Daoqiu, finishing the script is just the first step. What he has to do now is to fly to Neon immediately to do the preliminary preparations.

Although he had asked Matsuoka Isao for help before, there were many things that he needed to personally lead people to complete.

"Wow, the lineup of "Lucky Star" can be said to be the strongest in this year's Spring Festival."

After Wang Jing took the script, he glanced at the credits.

If you look at it this way, even if you take "The Best Partner" and "I Love Tuberose", they can't compare with this "Lucky Star".

Sammo Hung next to him also felt confident when he saw this lineup.

Because he was paid for this movie, he didn't need to worry about whether it would make a profit or loss at the box office.

If you want to hire these people to act with normal film remuneration, I'm afraid the production cost of "Lucky Star Shines High" will be sky-high.

That is to say, others only agreed to play a guest role because of Lin Daoqiu's reputation, so the price was not very high.

Moreover, most of the characters in this film, except for a few leading actors, will not go to Neon, but will be filmed in Xiangjiang, so that their time will not be wasted.

"I'm going to fly to Neon tomorrow. You guys should get your things done as soon as possible, and then meet me there."

Lin Daoqiu left as soon as he said it. He knew that time was very tight now, so he had to hurry up and arrange everything properly.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, we will be able to set off the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Although Sammo Hung also wants to go to Neon with Lin Daoqiu immediately, he still has some things in hand that need to be dealt with before he can go there.

After the meeting, everyone left to do their own business.

The next day, Lin Daoqiu took Brigitte Lin and Fang Jinsheng on a flight to Neon.

I don’t know why, but every time Lin Daoqiu comes to Neon, it’s almost always during the Chinese New Year, or during the Chinese New Year.

And I haven't seen that gentle figure for a long time.

Although she often talks to Junko on the phone, Lin Daoqiu can still tell from the phone that she misses her very much.

At this time, Junko was still studying acting at Toho Arts School in Japan.

Lin Daoqiu once heard Isao Matsuoka mention that the directors thought Junko had the potential to become a big star.

As for whether what Isao Matsuoka said is true or false, Lin Daoqiu cannot comment yet.

Because until now, he has never seen Junko act in person.

When the plane arrived in Neon, the person who came to pick up Lin Daoqiu this time was the same Yoshikawa Shoichi from before.

He has been promoted to the position of director from the former section chief of Dongbao's second external relations section.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever."

When Yoshikawa Masaichi saw Lin Daoqiu, his attitude had become more respectful than before.

Lin Daoqiu's identity at this time is completely different from the one Yoshikawa Masaichi met a few years ago.

"Mr. Yoshikawa, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to pick me up this time."

Lin Daoqiu smiled. Although he was not very familiar with Yoshikawa Shoichi, seeing his face made Lin Daoqiu immediately recall the situation when he first came to Neon.

He remembered that he brought Brigitte Lin to promote "Mission Impossible", but he didn't expect that so much time had passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ms. Lin, you are becoming more and more beautiful. I have watched the movie "The Mummy" you filmed before, and your performance in it was simply perfect."

While flattering Lin Daoqiu, Yoshikawa Masaichi did not forget Brigitte Lin beside him.

"Thank you Mr. Yoshikawa for the compliment. My good work is far from enough."

Brigitte Lin smiled modestly.

After a few polite words, Yoshikawa Masaichi invited Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin into the car parked nearby.

After getting in the car, Yoshikawa turned around and said to Lin Daoqiu.

"President Matsuoka knows that Mr. Lin is tired from traveling, so the banquet is scheduled for tomorrow. I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?"

Isao Matsuoka attached great importance to Lin Daoqiu's arrival.

Otherwise, he would not have sent Yoshikawa Masaichi, the director of the department, to the airport to pick up Lin Daoqiu.

"Thank you, President Matsuoka, for the arrangement. I am very satisfied with it. I will do as he said."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't care what he eats now. He just wants to know how Matsuoka Isao arranged the things he told him.
