Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2084 New Police Movie

After finalizing all the actors of "The True Colors of a Man", Lin Daoqiu's next step is to determine the candidates for the director and assistant director.

In fact, Chen Jiashang has been working for New Oriental before, but he has not been reused.

So this time when Lin Daoqiu came here suddenly, Chen Jiashang felt a little uneasy and uneasy.

The apprentice Chen Musheng who was following him also had a dazed expression, he didn't know why he would be called over by Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin..."

After Fang Jinsheng brought Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng into Lin Daoqiu's office, the two first greeted Lin Daoqiu respectfully.

"Both of you are here, please sit down."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the chair opposite him, and asked Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng to sit down.

"I invited you this time because I want to make a police action movie, and I intend to let you serve as the director and assistant director."

Although they never thought that Lin Daoqiu would ask them to start a film, they were very shocked, but Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng had already assigned their positions, and Chen Jiashang was the director and Chen Musheng was the assistant director.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the two masters and apprentices, Lin Daoqiu continued.

"I plan to make a new police film, but because it is innovative, I need newcomers to practice."

The newcomers mentioned by Lin Daoqiu refer to the director and the three leading actors.

But in fact, if there is Sammo Hung, the film does not need a director at all, just let him take charge of it.

It's just that Sammo Hung is busy directing "Chinese Heroes" now, and it would be a bit too difficult for him if he was asked to take time off to direct "The True Colors of a Man".

What's more, there are a lot of action scenes in "The True Colors of a Man". Lin Daoqiu didn't want to push Sammo Hung to that point.

So this time he called Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng, one is to train them, and the other is to stop Sammo Hung from working so hard.

Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng basically just nodded, and they didn't know what to say.

The pie in the sky fell on their heads, and the two of them were naturally very happy.

"Although this movie is just for practice, it's not easy to shoot at all, so I hope you can prepare mentally in advance."

Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng glanced at each other, then nodded to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will try our best to do our best according to your request."

Since Lin Daoqiu asked them to shoot, he naturally wouldn't let them do too many things beyond their ability, otherwise it would be difficult for others.

Lin Daoqiu naturally knew the abilities of Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng.

Even if they are not as experienced as later generations, Lin Daoqiu believes that it is absolutely no problem for the current Chen Jia to direct this drama.

Although he is going to shoot a new police film, there is not much innovation in it.

Of course, Sammo Hung and Hong Jiaban are in charge of the action drama part, and what Lin Daoqiu wants to innovate is the literary drama part.

"The play is called "The True Colors of a Man". It is a police film. Four gangsters robbed a gold shop and killed the fiancée of a policeman. after……"

Lin Daoqiu briefly explained the plot of "The True Colors of a Man" to Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng.

Lin Daoqiu planned to have Andy Lau play Nicholas Tse's original role, Ekin Cheng play Shawn Yue's role, and Aaron Kwok will take over Jaycee Fang's role.

As for the villains, Tianyang, Tiansheng, Tianzhi, and Tiansi are played by Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jet Li, and Hui Yinghong respectively.

Lin Daoqiu arranged everything for Chen Jiashang and the others, and gave them an outline of the script, and handed over the action design to Hong Jiaban.

It can be said that Chen Jiashang and Chen Musheng now only need to write out the plot according to the script outline given by Lin Daoqiu, and then they will be done after filming the movie.

Chen Jiashang listened very carefully, the plot of the outline is very complete, as long as the plot is filled in according to this outline, the drama will definitely be a hit.

Just the fact that Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and Jet Li starred in this drama is enough to attract everyone's attention.

And this time the three of them played the villain together, which completely subverted their previous positive image in everyone's impression.

Although I don't know why Sammo Hung and the others thought of making such a movie, Chen Jiashang and the others are not a problem they need to consider. Their first priority now is to write the script.

Just when everything was ready and Chen Jiashang and the others could start work after writing the script, Lin Daoqiu suddenly received an unexpected news.

"Ekin Cheng accidentally rolled down the stairs and broke his hand. He needs to rest for at least two or three months."

If it was only two months, Lin Daoqiu could wait for him, but with a broken hand, there is no way to immediately get into the fight.

The film "The True Colors of a Man" has a lot of fight scenes to shoot, Ekin Cheng has never learned kung fu, he has to go through a period of practice first.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu still planned to remove Ekin Cheng from the list of "The True Colors of a Man" and replace Qian Xiaohao.

Qian Xiaohao is very handsome, it is absolutely no problem to take the role of Ekin Cheng, not to mention his skill, he is also a star with great skill, but why he has not become popular all the time, this is really a very puzzling thing matter.

Speaking of Qian Xiaohao, Lin Daoqiu remembered that he had collaborated with Jet Li in two very classic movies in his previous life, "Jing Wu Heroes" and "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng".

He played supporting roles in these two plays, but he played very well.

But why it is not popular, this is really an unbelievable thing.

Chen Jiashang once talked about Qian Xiaohao in an interview, saying that he is one of the most unlucky people in the film industry.

He is a very good martial artist and actor, he has always acted very well, and he has also acted in many film and television dramas.

Chen Jiashang even said that the reason why Qian Xiaohao couldn't become popular was because he was too handsome, but Lin Daoqiu disagreed with Chen Jiashang's point of view.

Being handsome is a bonus most of the time in movies, and Qian Xiaohao has always played the leading role.

The reason why he couldn't really become popular is because he has never encountered a movie that really made him popular, and the second is because he has no audience.

That's why Qian Xiaohao has never been able to rank among the top martial arts stars in Xiangjiang because of this.

This time "The True Colors of a Man" is actually not a good opportunity for him, but Lin Daoqiu still decided to let Qian Xiaohao replace Ekin Cheng, after all, he is very suitable in terms of appearance, skill and acting skills.
