Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1866 The roles are reversed
In 91, New Art City ended due to the withdrawal of shares by Mai Jia, and Huang Baiming then established Oriental Film Distribution Co., Ltd.

In 92, Huang Baiming made a movie called "A Happy Event in the Family".

This play brings together stars such as Leslie Cheung, Chung Chu-hong, Maggie Cheung, Wong Pak-ming, Mao Shunyun, and Sandra Ng.

It was released a week before the Spring Festival in 92, and finally won nearly 5000 million box office results.

Lin Daoqiu has watched this play many times, especially Zhou Xingchi sang a few songs in the play, which is still fresh in his memory.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, if Xu Guanwen were to play the role of Huang Baiming's elder brother Chang Man, wouldn't it be possible for Xu Guanwen and Zhou Xingchi, two generations of Hong Kong movie comedy masters, to cooperate in a play.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but let Xu Guanwen quickly take over the play.

"A happy event at home"

Xu Guanwen didn't know if Lin Daoqiu thought of this play suddenly, or if he had already written the script long ago.

"Yes, this "Happy Events in the Family" is a comedy movie that is very suitable for release during the Spring Festival. It is very suitable for the whole family to watch. It tells a short story about the ordinary parents of a family."

Lin Daoqiu is very confident in "Happy Events in the Family", because the composition of this drama is very perfect. The characters and personalities of the three brothers are different, and the personalities and characteristics of the characters of the three brothers are also completely different.

In Lin Daoqiu's opinion, this movie is a movie worth making for everyone to watch during the Chinese New Year.

"If I can see the script, I will seriously consider this drama."

After transferring from Golden Harvest to New Oriental, Xu Guanwen filmed Lin Daoqiu's first "Ghost in Disguise".

Now that "Ghost in Masquerade" is still in post-production and has not had time to be released, Lin Daoqiu has already planned to let him take over another movie.

This is not a big problem for Xu Guanwen, after all, it means that Lin Daoqiu attaches great importance to him.

If Lin Daoqiu threw him aside and ignored him, then Xu Guanwen would definitely feel bad.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I'm very confident in this movie. It will definitely make you happy and the final effect will definitely not be bad."

If it was an original movie, Lin Daoqiu would definitely not dare to make such a guarantee.

But "Happy Events at Home" is a movie that has been confirmed, so Lin Daoqiu can be said to be full of confidence in this movie.

After Xu Guanwen left, Lin Daoqiu asked Fang Jinsheng to make an appointment with Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow, because they would be the second and third brothers in this play.

Leslie Cheung was already an artist of New Oriental a long time ago, and Lin Daoqiu usually would not arrange movies for him, but if Lin Daoqiu appointed him to act, Leslie Cheung would naturally not refuse.

He is currently filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The True Colors of Heroes". In "A Chinese Ghost Story", he is the protagonist, but in "The True Colors of Heroes", he can only be regarded as a supporting role, so this does not violate what Lin Daoqiu did before. Regulation.

As for Zhou Xingchi, he is now an actor of Dongshi, and Lin Daoqiu has not signed him to New Oriental.

But since the filming of "Happy Family" is going to start, and "The God of Gamblers" will be filmed after "God of Gamblers", it is time to transfer Stephen Chow's contract to New Oriental and let him start focusing on movies.

Because of filming, it was difficult for Leslie Cheung to find time. After coordination, Fang Jinsheng arranged for him an hour of free time to meet Lin Daoqiu.

As for Zhou Xingchi, he has a lot of time. After all, besides the TV series "The Neighborhood", he has no other film and television dramas to shoot.

Standing outside Lin Daoqiu's office, Zhou Xingchi looked very nervous, because this was the first time he was called to this place alone.

With no one to accompany him, Zhou Xingchi didn't know how to deal with Lin Daoqiu.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Lin, you have met many times, he won't eat you up."

Fang Jinsheng saw Zhou Xingchi's nervousness, and before going in, he used a joke to ease Zhou Xingchi's nervousness.

"Thank you Brother Sheng, I will pay attention."

Zhou Xingchi is a somewhat introverted person in private, except that he will become another person when filming, most of the time he is the kind who rarely speaks.

"Sorry for being late."

Leslie Cheung also came at this time, so Fang Jinsheng led them into Lin Daoqiu's office.

"You guys are here, please sit down, I called you here today to talk about a new play with you."

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu wanted to arrange a new play for himself, Leslie Cheung's face collapsed.

Because he already has two films in his hands, if he takes on this new film, then he really may not even have time to rest.

"Boss, I already have two movies in my hands. If I take over this movie, then I'm afraid you'll have to cut me in half, or I won't be able to act at all."

"Sorry Young Master Rong, I know you already have two plays in your hands, but this time I still have to arrange one more play for you, because you can't make mistakes in this play."

Zhou Xingchi didn't speak all the time, after he sat down, he listened to Lin Daoqiu honestly.

After all, in Zhou Xingchi's view, he has no place to speak in front of Lin Daoqiu, and he doesn't know what to say to Lin Daoqiu.

When he heard that Leslie Cheung was annoyed because he had too many scenes in his hands, Stephen Chow had no other thoughts other than envy.

As a newcomer, he hasn't made a movie starring himself so far. He thought that if one day he could have three movies in his hands, then he would be so happy.

"The name of this drama is "Happy Events in the Family". It is a story about a big family. Besides you, I asked Xu Guanwen to play the role."

"Sneaker?"

Leslie Cheung did not expect to have the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Guanwen this time, which relieved his previous conflicting thoughts to some extent.

"Young Master Rong will play a typical playboy this time."

Lin Daoqiu changed the original role of Zhou Xingchi to Leslie Cheung, so Zhou Xingchi will play the role of Leslie Cheung this time.

"Xingzi, this time you are going to play a sissy character, and the character you are in love with is a tomboy."

Just after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Leslie Cheung laughed outright.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect Mr. Lin to arrange it like this. The role of Xingzi is quite interesting."

Zhou Xingchi doesn't choose roles, and he doesn't think he has the qualifications to choose roles.

But in his heart, he felt that Lin Daoqiu's arrangement was quite good. By reversing the original typical male and female personalities, there would be a point of conflict in this scene that it was hard not to pay attention to.

In this way, his role will not be reduced to a marginal role, so Zhou Xingchi happily took it.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will play this role well."

Zhou Xingchi is ready to go back and practice more how to play a sissy. This time he can act in a play with Xu Guanwen and Leslie Cheung, which is not an opportunity that he often encounters.

And for Xu Guanwen, a comedy master in Xiangjiang, Zhou Xingchi admires him very much, so he has already begun to look forward to the filming of "Happy Family".

　Happy National Day to everyone! ! ! ! !
