Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2021 Looking for a heroine here?
"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong, congratulations."

Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi were also invited to this housewarming banquet.

But the auspicious words they said at the beginning made Zhong Chuhong laugh.

Those who didn't know thought they were here to attend the wedding ceremony of Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong.

"Don't congratulate me. I'm not the one hosting the housewarming party today? Don't make a mistake."

These two live treasures did not expect to make a misunderstanding as soon as they came up, which made Zhong Chuhong laugh out loud.

"Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to."

Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi didn't think much about it, they just said this out of habit and didn't notice what the occasion was at all.

"Alright, how are the preparations for "The Saint of Gamblers" going?"

After Lin Daoqiu asked Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi to sit down, they began to chat about "The Saint of Gamblers".

In fact, even if Lin Daoqiu didn't ask, Liu Zhenwei would have to report all the current preparations to him.

"Mr. Lin is actually like this, the preparations for "The Saint of Gamblers"..."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu heard it, he knew that Liu Zhenwei was going to start a long speech, but this is not a place to talk about work, so he quickly raised his hand to interrupt the other party.

"Just put it simply. This is not an office. You don't need to be so formal."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin is all my fault, so let me put it simply..."

Liu Zhenwei looked very nervous, Zhou Xingchi next to him was not much better, he kept his head down in front of Lin Daoqiu and did not dare to lift it up.

The preparations for "The Saint of Gamblers" went very smoothly. Liu Zhenwei and Stephen Chow got along very well. Although there were some differences during the creation process, overall the cooperation between the two was very pleasant.

So far, for Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi, the biggest problem is casting.

Wu Mengda's role as Zhou Xingchi's third uncle has already been decided, Qin Pei's role as Xiangjiang gambling king Hong Ye, and other supporting roles have also been finalized.

Originally, Yuan Kui was supposed to play A Ping's husband in "The Saint of Gamblers" in the last life, but now it is Chen Baixiang.

Because Yuan Kui did not participate in the production of "The Saint of Gamblers", Liu Zhenwei called Chen Baixiang over.

It can be said that basically most of the roles have been finalized now, but only Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi have differences in the choice of the heroine.

Liu Zhenwei wanted to find Luo Meiwei to play the role, but after watching "God of Gamblers", Zhou Xingchi felt that Zhang Min was more suitable to play the heroine.

The two couldn't stop arguing, and finally they planned to hand over the decision to Lin Daoqiu.

"Luo Meiwei and Zhang Min?"

After listening to Liu Zhenwei's introduction, Lin Daoqiu did not expect that the two guys would disagree on the choice of the heroine.

Generally speaking, it is definitely not too bad for Luo Meiwei to play Yimeng, but looking for Zhang Min is to restore the version of the previous life.

"Why don't you guys guess punches and listen to whoever wins, and the outcome will be determined in one round."

Lin Daoqiu was too lazy to be the judge, so he simply asked Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi to decide the heroine by guessing fist.

After all, these two candidates each have their own advantages, and it is hard for Lin Daoqiu to say who is better and who is worse.

Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi did not expect Lin Daoqiu to choose such a method to decide the heroine of "The Holy Gambler".

But since they have said so, they can only follow through.

"Rock paper scissors..."

As soon as the words fell, the results came out immediately.

Lin Daoqiu looked at Zhou Xingchi's helpless expression, and the result was self-evident.

"Since director Liu won this boxing game, then the heroine of "The Holy Gambler" is tentatively designated as Luo Meiwei."

The reason why it is said to be tentative is because Lin Daoqiu is not sure whether Luo Meiwei is willing to act in this play, although basically what he has settled on is pretty much the same.

Unless Luo Meiwei can't accept the role of Yimeng, she must be the heroine of "The Saint of Gamblers".

"Let's go, let's go over and have a chat with Mr. Lin."

Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng came to this housewarming banquet today not only to congratulate Zhong Chuhong, but also to chat with Lin Daoqiu about the schedule of the three plays.

"Swordsman: Undefeated in the East", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "The True Colors of a Hero", Tsui Hark has three films waiting to be released.

The production progress of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is almost complete, and it will enter the stage of post-production in two weeks. "Swordsman" will be slower, and "The True Colors of Heroes" will have at least two more shots. month time.

The Spring Festival has just passed, and there will be no good schedule until the summer vacation. If Tsui Hark's three films are released during the off-season, the box office results will definitely not be so good.

So what Tsui Hark wanted was to release "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the summer, "Swordsman: The Unbeaten East" in the Christmas time frame, and "The True Colors of Heroes" until next year's Spring Festival.

But this took too long, and I don't know if Lin Daoqiu would agree with him.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong..."

Tsui Hark took Shi Nansheng to Lin Daoqiu and said hello to them.

"sit down."

When Lin Daoqiu saw Tsui Hark's appearance, he knew that he must be looking for him for work.

Originally, today's housewarming party had agreed not to talk about work, but sometimes it is really involuntary.

"Mr. Lin, I shouldn't bother you at this time, but I still want to talk to you about the release time of my three movies."

Lin Daoqiu nodded, since everyone has come, it is impossible to drive Tsui Hark away, isn't it.

And he was fine now, so he asked Tsui Hark to speak out his thoughts.

When Lin Daoqiu listened to Tsui Hark's arrangements for his three plays, he shook his head directly.

This year's summer vacation and Christmas schedule will definitely be taken over by "The God of Gamblers" and "God of Gamblers".

If Tsui Hark planned to release "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Swordsman: The Undefeated East" at that time, the box office results would definitely not be much better.

Even if it's next year's Spring Festival, Lin Daoqiu doesn't dare to promise Tsui Hark to arrange the schedule completely according to his ideas.

"It's no problem for "The True Colors of Heroes" to be released in next year's Spring Festival, but "Swordsman" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" should be released earlier, I think."

Originally, Tsui Hark thought that Lin Daoqiu would support his idea, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu wanted him to release these two films in advance?what is this?
"This year's gambling movies are too fierce, I believe you can see it clearly, but if you are confident that it doesn't matter if you bump into them in the summer and Christmas time slots, then of course I have no problem."

Lin Daoqiu handed over the choice to Tsui Hark. If he wants to collide with the sequels of "The God of Gamblers" and "God of Gamblers", then Lin Daoqiu will not refuse, but will fulfill him.

But if he wants to avoid it, Lin Daoqiu will find a way to arrange two better schedules for him, it depends on how Tsui Hark chooses.
