Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Since it is the first important period for successful theaters, Pan Disheng is naturally unwilling to give up.

Before the movie was released, he specially called Tsui Hark over and asked about the movie "Shanghai Nights" in detail.

This is already the Nth time Pan Disheng has called Tsui Hark, and the questions he asked are almost the same.

"Mr. Pan, from the perspective of the lineup of the two movies, we did not lose too much to "The Little One", but from the deeper aspects of the two movies, I think "Shanghai Night" is even better.

.”

Although Tsui Hark hasn't watched the drama "Little Life", judging from the name, he can be sure that this drama will continue the comedy style of the previous New Arts City.

Even if the element of horror is added, it is just a layer of coating, and it is just a gimmick at best.

Different from "The Little One", "Shanghai Night", which I shot, has tears in the laughter, a sense of history, and vicissitudes of life. It is not just a funny movie.

Regarding the restoration of old Shanghai scenes, Tsui Hark can be said to have done everything he could.

With the best possible production, excellent actors, and a mature script, Tsui Hark can be said to have great confidence in his "Shanghai Nights".

"This is the first official match between Baocheng Cinema and Xiangjiang Cinema. I hope you can come back with good luck."

Although he said this, Pan Disheng was still dubious about what Tsui Hark just said.

But in the end, the movie still has to rely on the box office. Once the movie is released, it will be able to verify whether these points that Tsui Hark is optimistic about will be accepted by the audience.

If it fails to pass the box office verification, it means that Tsui Hark is just talking to himself, and what he shoots is not what the audience likes to see.

On the other hand, the promotional campaigns for "Little Life" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" are also coming to an end.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly encountered a somewhat embarrassing thing.

That is "The Little One" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", both of which had their premieres on the same day.

Although it's not a red carpet event, the director and leading actors still have to show up.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu was thinking about whether to support Li Hanxiang's "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace". After all, he had to endure a lot of hardships to make the film.

But because of what happened before, if I went to support "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" at this time, I'm afraid it would arouse other people's thoughts.

You must know that Lin Daoqiu has been frequently reported before, and he is very close to left-wing filmmakers, and he even began to doubt his position.

The limelight has just passed, and if I suddenly went to support the drama "The Burning of Old Summer Palace", I'm afraid the old incident would be brought up again.

Although the tabloids in Xiangjiang no longer dare to provoke me easily, they can't help but prevent people from thinking wrongly about me.

Moreover, on the Baodao side, I have already provoked the eldest son, and may even have been paid attention to by the Baodao side.

So Lin Daoqiu decided that it would be better to do less than to do more, and Li Hanxiang would not go there.

Since he didn't go to support Li Hanxiang, Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't favor one over the other. He didn't even go to "The Little One Is Afraid".

The night before Christmas was Christmas Eve. Lin Daoqiu couldn't sit still at home. After dinner, he simply took Brigitte Lin out.

"Didn't you just have dinner?"

Lin Qingxia felt very strange. She had already had dinner at home. Lin Daoqiu took her out. Was he planning to eat again?

"I'm not a foodie, how can I eat so much? I'll take you to see a movie tonight."

"Is it "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" or "The Little Student Is Afraid"?"

Both of these movies were produced by New Oriental, and Brigitte Lin took it for granted that the one Lin Daoqiu wanted to take her to see must be one of these two movies.

"No, what we are going to watch is "Shanghai Nights"."

Lin Daoqiu's answer shocked Brigitte Lin and turned her head directly to the other party.

You must know that the movie "Shanghai Nights" is a movie produced by Dibao, and the movie was filmed by New Oriental's traitor Tsui Hark.

Lin Daoqiu actually chose to watch "Shanghai Nights" at this time. What on earth did he want to do?

"Why are you so surprised? Do you think I'm going to take you to cause trouble?"

Lin Daoqiu laughed and shook his head.

But what he didn't expect was that he just said it casually. Unexpectedly, Brigitte Lin showed a serious expression, as if she took his words seriously.

"I don't know what kind of expression Tsui Hark and the others will have when they see you later."

Brigitte Lin was too lazy to worry about it. She had heard of the drama "Shanghai Nights" before, and originally planned to find time to watch it in the future. Unexpectedly, a coincidence happened today.

"We buy tickets and go to the theater to watch the show. As for what they think, does it matter?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't care what Tsui Hark and the others thought. He simply didn't want to stay at home, so he pulled Brigitte Lin out to watch a movie.

If it weren't for the fact that "Shanghai Nights" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" were both difficult to attend, he wouldn't have gone to support Tsui Hark.

This time Lin Daoqiu went out without any fanfare, nor did he let anyone drive out in his Rolls-Royce. Instead, he changed into a black Mercedes-Benz.

After driving near the Jade Cinema, Lin Daoqiu chose to get out of the car and walk there.

At this time, at the entrance of Jade Cinema, a group of reporters were surrounding Tsui Hark, Zhong Zhentao, Xiao Fangfang and others from "Shanghai Nights".

This time there are many stars coming to support "Shanghai Nights", including Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Xu Guanwen, Shum Jianxun, Shek Tian, ​​Eric Tsang, etc., followed closely by Pan Disheng and Wu Siyuan.

At this time, outside the Emerald Theater, it could be said that the stars were shining, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere looked very happy.

If this process continues, the reporters invited will write a bunch of useless nonsense on the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers.

In addition to introducing the celebrities present, it is also the expectations of Tsui Hark and the leading actors for this drama.

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran to Pan Disheng and whispered a few words in his ear.

Because the surroundings were very noisy, Pan Disheng couldn't hear clearly what the man said.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

"Boss, Mr. Lin and Miss Lin are here."

Pan Disheng didn't react at first. He looked at the other party with confusion, but he couldn't figure out who Mr. Lin and Miss Lin were.

But soon, when Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin appeared in their eyes, Pan Disheng was immediately petrified.

And not only Pan Disheng, but also the celebrities around them, after seeing Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin appear, their eyes widened, with shocked expressions on their faces.

The most excited ones were the reporters at the scene. They were the first to react. They were originally surrounding Tsui Hark and others. In the blink of an eye, this group of people ran over and surrounded Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin Qingxia.
