Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1909 You Are Scary

"Mr. Lin's move is really powerful, and he directly reassigned all the roles."

"Compared with the previous script, it seems that the whole play has undergone a lot of changes after such a change, adding a lot of attractive plots. I am really convinced."

Previously, Huang Bingyao, Huang Ying and Zheng Danrui were responsible for the screenwriting of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

After Lin Daoqiu made such a change, there are many places in it that have to be moved accordingly.

While this undoubtedly increased their workload, this level of change also allowed them to get some learning from it.

As for Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung, they had no idea about Lin Daoqiu's decision. Anyway, the main characters of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" are the two of them, so they don't have any objections to it.

As for the original heroine Li Saifeng becoming Sammo Hung's younger junior sister, Li Saifeng naturally wouldn't say anything about it, but she had heard about the relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong to some extent.

This time, Zhong Chuhong played a ghost concubine and then added a main supporting actress. In Li Saifeng's view, Lin Daoqiu's decision should be based on the movie itself.

Originally, this film was a film that was completely overthrown and restarted. Naturally, it would not continue to follow the previous filming. If this was the case, wouldn't it be a waste of time and money.

So she still believed that Lin Daoqiu didn't take special care of her because of his special relationship with Zhong Chuhong.

Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu would not have asked her to play the heroine at the beginning, but just let Zhong Chuhong play the role of ghost concubine.

It is impossible to return to the mainland to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so it can only be shot on the Xiangjiang side, although it failed to capture the beautiful scenery of the local natural scenery and the treacherous and changeable terrain.

But with the efforts of Moli Studio and Zhang Shuping, something eye-catching can still be made on the set built by Moli Studio.

Not only from the decoration but also from the architectural style, it still retains the traditional style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

In addition, there are still many scholars and master-level figures who migrated from the mainland in Xiangjiang at this time, so when Lin Daoqiu was filming this movie, it can be said that he spent a lot of ingenuity in it.

Although it is not possible to say that the scenery of Xiangxi can be restored 100%, at least some shadows can be seen in the shooting effect.

"I think there is no need to dismantle these scenes after they are set up. I think there are still many people who will want to catch up with the trend of this series of tomb robbers, although I don't expect them to make any good things."

Lin Daoqiu planned not to remove these scenes after filming, and he decided to leave them for the crew who wanted to shoot this series later.

Although Lin Daoqiu doesn't think these people can produce any good things, at least they don't make some weird things on the set, after all, this is traditional culture and cannot be ruined.

"Mr. Lin is right. After the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is finished, many people will definitely follow the trend of this subject, but most of them should be cut corners, and there is no quality at all."

Huang Bingyao has a deep agreement with Lin Daoqiu's words. It can be said that part of the reason for the decline of Xiangjiang films is because of following the trend.

As long as a movie with one theme sells well, there will be many movies with the same theme in the future.

Even those people can even get the main roles, but the quality of the shooting can only be said to be uneven, basically they all have the idea of ​​​​making a fortune and leaving.

Even Lin Daoqiu, who monopolizes the power in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang, can't stop this kind of follow-up move, so he probably did it because the mourning is greater than the heart.

Since there is no way to prevent you from following the trend and making bad dramas, at least let you at least ensure that some traditional cultures will not be changed into a mess when you are filming.

Some filmmakers really don't have any conscience at all. They just pay some money and find a group of actors and crew who don't have much reputation, and then copy the hit movies, and finally shoot the movies casually.

This kind of movie has no quality at all, but sometimes they still make money, which is very annoying.

And those audiences who have been cheated will naturally spread their grievances to the entire film and television industry, thinking that those directors and actors only make these bad movies all day long.

Over time, they became the bad movie kings and bad movie directors in the audience's mouth.

"I don't know if I'm helping the bad guys by doing this, but what I can do is to let them have as much quality as possible when shooting, so that they won't be so unsightly."

Lin Daoqiu was powerless to stop the follow-up, because many interest circles were involved behind it, not only on the side of Xiangjiang, but also businessmen from Baodao and other places.

Although Lin Daoqiu's power is so great now that it can affect the entire Xiangjiang film market, it is impossible for him to do whatever he wants.

So sometimes Lin Daoqiu has to feel that there are still many things in this world that he can't stop or control.

After chatting with Huang Bingyao and the others about the plot, Lin Daoqiu learned that Zhong Chuhong was doing the last makeup of the ghost concubine.

Lin Daoqiu had already talked with Zhang Shuping and the others about the role of ghost concubine before, but Lin Daoqiu still didn't know what kind of effect it would be. He had to go and see it first.

When I came to the dressing room, the door was open, and there were several staff members standing at the door.

Lin Daoqiu walked through them directly into the dressing room, and found that Zhong Chuhong was already dressed and was facing away from him.

"I heard from them that you have finished your makeup, I'm here..."

Before Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Zhong Chuhong turned around.

Lin Daoqiu saw Zhong Chuhong's appearance clearly. He first looked at Zhong Chuhong carefully with uncertain eyes, and then burst out laughing.

"Is it funny?"

Seeing Lin Daoqiu suddenly burst out laughing made Zhong Chuhong very unhappy, she sat here honestly all morning, did not know how many kinds of makeup she did, and finally decided to use the current look.

"Your makeup is scary."

"Don't laugh, I didn't ask them to draw it."

Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but kept laughing.

At this moment, Zhong Chuhong's face was covered with white powder, with two big red dots dotted on both sides, it was indeed a bit ridiculous to look at it this way.

And when he saw Zhong Chuhong's appearance, Lin Daoqiu thought of those boys in the ghost movies in Xiangjiang movies, because Zhong Chuhong's makeup was a bit similar to them.

"No, no, this makeup won't work. I don't think you need to put on any makeup, just keep it simple."

Lin Daoqiu hurried to find Zhang Shuping. He really couldn't accept Zhong Chuhong appearing in the movie with such makeup, because he would really die laughing.
