Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1260 Charter Director

Cheng Xiaodong suddenly brought Cheng Gang to see him, if he said it was just to express his gratitude for taking care of Cheng Xiaodong these years, Lin Daoqiu would never believe it.

As for their purpose of coming, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't guess for a while.

After some simple greetings, and after inviting the two to sit down, Lin Daoqiu asked Fang Jinsheng to make tea for Cheng Gang and the others.

Cheng Xiaodong seemed a little nervous, which was obviously far behind his father Cheng Gang's composure.

If Cheng Xiaodong came to see Lin Daoqiu by himself, he really didn't know how to say this.

"Is Adong's work going well recently? Since the Academy Awards ended, I went to Taiwan to film, and I just came back recently."

Lin Daoqiu went to Baodao to shoot "Royal Senior Sister" before, but he didn't know Cheng Xiaodong's current situation.

When Cheng Xiaodong heard that Lin Daoqiu brought up this topic, he quickly replied.

"The work is very smooth, with so many big brothers around, I almost don't have to worry about it when filming."

What Cheng Xiaodong said was very true, but Cheng Gang gave him a stare as soon as he finished speaking.

He may not think there is anything wrong with this sentence, but after chewing for a while, he can tell that the director Cheng Xiaodong doesn't seem to be playing his role.

Although Cheng Xiaodong came to complain to Lin Daoqiu today, he didn't express his words in this way, which made him seem a bit useless.

Sure enough, after Cheng Xiaodong finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu probably understood the meaning of Cheng Xiaodong's words.

It is really not an easy task for him to assist Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao, three top martial arts superstars, in filming, but it is also a very simple task.

If it is a director and Wu Zhi who have no idea, they can completely follow Jackie Chan's instructions, which can be said to be extremely easy.

At that time, their names will naturally appear on the subtitles of the movie. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, and it doesn't take too much effort, which is really a beautiful job.

But for directors with ideas, it is definitely a very painful thing to cooperate with Jackie Chan, after all, they all have their own ideas and outstanding abilities.

Especially in terms of martial arts and action design, it can be said that there are very few people in Xiangjiang who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Although Cheng Gang is very unwilling to let his son be looked down upon, the reality is like this, and he really can't change it.

"Adong, if you really think so, then it's a bit inappropriate."

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu still decided to tell his true intention of letting Cheng Xiaodong join the director team.

Cheng Gang had already guessed what Lin Daoqiu was going to say, but he still pretended to know nothing.

Cheng Xiaodong showed a shocked expression, he didn't understand what he did wrong.

""The Heroes" is a drama that gathers stars who can almost be named in Xiangjiang. There are countless martial arts stars in it. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao, the three top martial arts stars in Xiangjiang, are indeed very good, but... ..."

Lin Daoqiu paused, and then continued: "I asked you and Yuan Kui to be the directors of this movie, and I hope that you can give full play to your own advantages and help Mai Jia make this movie well, rather than let this movie The play becomes their style of film."

Both Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung have their own styles. If Cheng Xiaodong let go of everything and let them develop, then "The Meeting of Heroes" may become a Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung-style movie.

It's not that their style is bad, but that the movie "The Meeting of Heroes" was not prepared just for them, so Lin Daoqiu naturally didn't want their own style to affect the whole movie.

Cheng Xiaodong bowed his head silently at Lin Daoqiu's words, looking like a primary school student who did something wrong.

Cheng Gang next to him was also shaking his head again and again, it seemed that he felt very helpless that Cheng Xiaodong's elm head could not be opened.

"Actually, it's also my fault that I didn't make it clear to you at the beginning, but it's not too late. It will take more than a week for the old building. As for the plot of Sammo Hung, you should stop first and bring the footage you have shot to me. I'll see."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu didn't believe in Cheng Xiaodong's ability, but he had already started filming before he understood what he meant.

Fortunately, the building for the main plot has not yet been completed, otherwise, in two months, Maijia and the others might have already filmed the film at length, and it would be troublesome to re-shoot by then.

Now that Lin Daoqiu had spoken, Cheng Xiaodong naturally did not dare to say no.

Cheng Gang at the side saw that Cheng Xiaodong was almost trained by Lin Daoqiu, and only then did he speak.

"Mr. Lin, Xiaodong actually has his own ideas, but his character is a bit soft. It's fine as a martial arts instructor, but he needs some training as a director."

It sounded like Cheng Gang was explaining to Lin Daoqiu, but in fact he wanted to test his words to see if Lin Daoqiu had any idea of ​​cultivating Cheng Xiaodong.

"A Dong has always been a director I am very optimistic about. I have worked with him since I was in Li. I believe that A Dong will make achievements sooner or later."

Cheng Xiaodong's most famous movie is "A Chinese Ghost Story" released in 87.

Although Tsui Hark, who is the producer of this film, is the soul leading the whole film, Cheng Xiaodong also has the title of director in it anyway.

It's just that the current Cheng Xiaodong is just a lesser-known director.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your compliment. In fact, I still have a lot to learn."

Cheng Xiaodong waved his hands again and again. Although Lin Daoqiu praised him, he couldn't accept the other party's praise with peace of mind.

""The Meeting of Heroes" is a very good opportunity to accumulate experience, and it will definitely not be a bad thing for you to seize this opportunity."

That's all Lin Daoqiu said. If Cheng Xiaodong still can't understand, then he can't say anything.

Cheng Xiaodong thanked him repeatedly, but what Lin Daoqiu probably didn't expect was that the other party really didn't hear his implication.

Fortunately, there was Cheng Gang next to him. Although Cheng Xiaodong didn't understand, Cheng Gang could hear clearly.

Although he is probably there, if Cheng Xiaodong can satisfy Lin Daoqiu after "The Meeting of Heroes" is over, then he will get some opportunities in the future.

His stupid son did not expect to be able to catch Lin Daoqiu's eyes. Cheng Gang was worried that Lin Daoqiu would not like Cheng Xiaodong before, but now his worries have disappeared with Lin Daoqiu's words just now.

Originally, because of Cheng Gang, today's harvest was limited to this, but Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned the topic to him.

"Director Cheng has been away from the Xiangjiang film industry for so many years, has he thought about coming back?"

Originally, they were all talking about Cheng Xiaodong, but unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu changed the subject and suddenly talked about himself, which made Cheng Gang and Cheng Xiaodong's eyes widen almost at the same time.
