Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2009 Promoted to Director
In front of Lin Daoqiu, Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi both looked cautious.

After all, they don't have any outstanding results now. Even if "A Happy Family" and "Rich and Rich" have good box office results, they are not the biggest contributors to these two dramas, so they don't dare to get complacent.

"Wang Jing just came to see me. He said that he has no time to shoot "The Gambler", so this time I plan to let you take the lead as the director and screenwriter of this film."

As soon as Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi sat down, Lin Daoqiu directly told a news that shocked Liu Zhenwei.

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Liu Zhenwei looked at the other party for more than ten seconds before reacting.

"I... I'm the director?"

Liu Zhenwei pointed to his nose and looked at Lin Daoqiu with an expression of disbelief.

He never thought that he could become the director of "The Saint of Gamblers". He planned to assist Wang Jing to make this film well from the very beginning.

But what he didn't expect was that this kind of pie in the sky fell on his own head, which made Liu Zhenwei not know what to say for a while.

"Your performance is obvious to all. I think it's time for you to play the leading role. When the time comes, focus on filming. Although "The Gambler" has a lot of newcomers, it doesn't mean it won't get a good box office."

When Zhou Xingchi on the side heard that Liu Zhenwei was in charge of being the director of "The Holy Gambler", his first reaction was very happy.

Because after cooperating with Liu Zhenwei during this period, Zhou Xingchi found that the other party was a director who was willing to communicate with the actors, not the kind of guy who talked.

For an actor like Zhou Xingchi who has his own ideas, working with Liu Zhenwei is definitely much easier and more enjoyable than working with those big-name Yiyantang directors.

"Thank you Mr. Lin, thank you Mr. Lin, I will definitely work hard to make "The Holy Gambler" well, and I will never disappoint your expectations and cultivation of me."

Liu Zhenwei was already so excited that he didn't want to. He originally thought that after the filming of "The Holy Gambler", if the box office results were not bad, he might have the possibility of becoming a director.

But I didn't expect that this time was really a god-sent opportunity. Speaking of which, he really had to thank Wang Jing. If it wasn't because the other party gave up this opportunity, I'm afraid he would have to continue to wait.

"I believe that with your ability, as long as you do it seriously, you will definitely get good returns. This is your first time directing a film in New Oriental. If you need anything, you can find Ah Sheng, and he will provide you with some help. "

Walking out of Lin Daoqiu's office, Liu Zhenwei was still in a dizzy state.

He couldn't believe that he had been promoted to director now, which was beyond his expectation.

"Director Liu, if I have time, I would like to treat you to a light meal, and then we can have a good chat about "The Saint of Gamblers"."

Zhou Xingchi is Lin Daoqiu's appointed leading actor in "The Gambler", and this is also the first time he has acted as the leading actor in a movie.

The most important thing for Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi is that the script of "The Gambler" was written by Lin Daoqiu, which is definitely a road to success for everyone in the industry.

So far, almost all the actors who have been lucky enough to participate in the films written by Lin Daoqiu have become big stars, let alone the protagonist.

Since Lin Daoqiu appointed Zhou Xingchi as the leading actor in "The Gambler", it means that he is very optimistic about Zhou Xingchi's future and his potential.

But even with so many buffs superimposed on Zhou Xingchi's head, he didn't dare to be careless, but felt that his pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

"Of course it's no problem. I know there is a seafood restaurant that makes delicious dishes. I'm here to invite you today. Don't compete with me."

When two people with the same ideas and the same purpose come together, they naturally have a lot to talk about, so they should have a very happy meal.

…………

"Boss Huang, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me."

Huang Yulang received a movie from Golden Harvest Cai Yongchang and asked him to come out for tea and chat.

Huang Yulang had no contact with Cai Yongchang before, but he definitely knew the name of Jiahe.

Although he didn't know what Cai Yongchang wanted to do with him, Huang Yulang still agreed to the other party's invitation.

"I've heard people say that in Golden Harvest, Mr. Cai is the right-hand man of Mr. Zou Wenhuai. It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to get to know each other before."

"Boss Huang, you're being polite. I'm just running errands in Golden Harvest. I'm ashamed of being able to handle these four words, haha..."

Huang Yulang knew that Cai Yongchang was one of Zou Wenhuai's confidantes, and he was also his cousin, and Huang Yulang could probably guess that it must be Zou Wenhuai's intention for Cai Yongchang to come to him.

But Yulang Group and Golden Harvest have never had any cooperation. Why did Zou Wenhuai suddenly think of himself? This really puzzled him.

"I saw from the news that Mr. Huang is going to remake your favorite work "Chinese Heroes" into a movie, and has entered the stage of audition for the role. I wonder how the current situation is?"

As soon as Huang Yulang heard what Cai Yongchang said, he immediately realized that the main purpose of the other party's coming to find him should be for the manga.

However, "Chinese Hero" Huang Yulang has already cooperated with New Oriental, and it is impossible and absolutely dare not for Golden Harvest to intervene at will at this time.

Could it be that Zou Wenhuai was inspired by his actions, and he also planned to adapt a comic to the big screen like himself?

If this is the case, Huang Yulang will be very happy, because this will greatly benefit the Yulang Group.

Even if he doesn't want to adapt it, Huang Yulang is very happy to hand over his comic book to the other party to make it into a movie.

"The current situation is very smooth. Although I am a layman in film, but with Brother Sammo Hung in charge, I have not encountered any difficulties."

Originally, Huang Yulang hoped to use the casting matter to stir up the popularity of "Chinese Heroes".

But "Sing Tao Daily" suddenly broke out a big gossip news, which directly extinguished the enthusiasm of "Chinese Heroes", Huang Yulang was so angry at that time.

Fortunately, Sammo Hung is in charge of this drama, so basically Huang Yulang doesn't need to worry too much about casting.

"I've read some of the comics "Chinese Heroes". I wonder if the hero of this drama has already been decided?"

Cai Yongchang's biggest purpose in coming to Huang Yulang today is to see if he can join the group with funding, so that Huang Yulang can hand over the leading actor of "Chinese Hero" to Jet Li.

It's just that Cai Yongchang also knows that it may be quite difficult to accomplish this, so he must be more cautious.
