Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2177 The Disintegrated Group of Seven

In the hot summer, Taiqin Yinghua Village is a lively scene. In order to increase income for Taiqin Yinghua Village, Toei began to sell admission tickets for tourists to come in and visit.

So when those tourists come in, they can occasionally encounter a crew filming in it, and everyone will naturally start to watch.

Acting in front of dozens or even hundreds of audiences, the pressure on an actor can be imagined.

So in order to prevent this situation from happening to him, Lin Daoqiu had already surrounded the area where he was going to shoot before the filming of "Onmyoji" started, and sent special personnel to guard it so that the crew would not be disturbed.

The strict guard inside has naturally become the target of many reporters who want to find out, but they are very disciplined, and they did not go to the Taiqin Film Village to secretly take pictures, but squatted outside.

After all, once the things they secretly photographed spread out, Lin Daoqiu could immediately go to the court to tell them.

Newspapers and magazines with average compensation can't afford it, even "Wenchun Weekly" can't afford it, so Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to worry too much about it.

During the day, I filmed in Taiqin Film Village, and at night, I went back to the hotel to rest.

As soon as it entered the official shooting stage, Lin Daoqiu was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground, basically he didn't even have time to go out and play.

It takes a lot of energy for him to teach those actors how to shoot movies every day.

Neon's acting skills are very different from Xiangjiang's. Most of the actors here draw on their experience in stage plays, and you can often see their exaggerated expressions and tone of voice during filming.

In order to correct this, Lin Daoqiu had to repeatedly instruct them almost every time he was filming.

The leading actor, Takeshi Nomura, is a kyogen master. He has performed on stage since he was a child. His acting skills are naturally very sophisticated, but his acting skills are obviously different from Lin Daoqiu's.

So Lin Daoqiu has been teaching Nomura Takeshi hand in hand since the filming of "Onmyoji", asking him to restrain his exaggerated style, otherwise there will be a strong sense of disobedience in the performance of the characters.

Most of the actors who participated in the filming of "Onmyoji" were filming this kind of special effects for the first time, and there were many things in it that made them feel very novel.

That is to say, Lin Daoqiu was willing to spend a lot of money to shoot "Onmyoji". If Dongbao came to shoot, many places would be different, and the effect is naturally much worse than Lin Daoqiu's.

If it weren't for the rush of time, Lin Daoqiu really wanted to build a big castle tower, but the first episode of "Onmyoji" must be too late, after all, it will take at least a year to build the tower.

Lin Daoqiu plans to wait until the next episode to add this castle tower. According to initial estimates, the tower tower that Lin Daoqiu wants will cost [-] million yuan in construction alone.

This time, Lin Daoqiu also decided to build this castle tower with a stroke of a pen. Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru were already numb. They all felt that Lin Daoqiu and Kurosawa Akira were the same kind of people.

In order to make the movie well, these two guys really didn't care about money at all, and they didn't feel distressed at all for hundreds of millions of yen with just a wave of their hands.

But Akira Kurosawa is okay, because it is very difficult for him to find funds, and it is basically difficult to get investment.

But Lin Daoqiu is different. This guy has almost endless money in his hands, and he can squander it as much as he wants, without even blinking an eye.

If Akira Kurosawa had Lin Daoqiu's strong capital, then Neon would probably produce many more classic movies, but it would probably be impossible for him to be as popular as Lin Daoqiu's movies.

Shigeru Okada felt that after Lin Daoqiu built the castle tower, he would definitely tear it down after filming, and he felt very distressed when he thought about it.

It would be great if all these things were left to Taiqin Yinghua Village, but he had already talked about this matter with Lin Daoqiu before, and the other party's attitude was very firm, so Okada Shigeru naturally couldn't say anything more.

After all, this is Lin Daoqiu's own money, and he can deal with it as he wants. An outsider, Shigeru Okada, is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Although he is the president of Toei, Okada Shigeru himself doesn’t think he has much prestige in front of Lin Daoqiu. You must know that it is Toei’s blessing to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu this time.

And as far as he knew, Lin Daoqiu asked Dongbao to cooperate at the beginning, but was rejected by Matsuoka Isao, and then turned around to find them.

If Isao Matsuoka had agreed to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu at the beginning, then they would have nothing to do now.

When Lin Daoqiu was filming "Onmyoji" at Neon, Tsui Hark's "A Chinese Ghost Story" had already finished screening.

Thanks to the wonderful performances of Leslie Cheung, Joey Wang and others in it, as well as the special effects assistance provided by Magic Studio, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" soared to 5000 million in this life, becoming the champion of the summer file.

"The Saint of Gamblers", which was supposed to be released, was kicked out of the summer schedule because of its poor filming. At this time, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda and others were busy filming "He Comes from Jianghu".

It stands to reason that Xiangjiang's movie world should be calm and everyone is busy making movies, but at this time, a news suddenly came out from New Art City that made everyone feel astonished.

According to gossip magazines and newspapers, it is said that the group of seven in New Art City has already spread the news that it is about to disintegrate.

Maijia, Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin, Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, and Zhang Aijia who replaced Shi Tian joined the seven-member group of New Art City.

Zhang Aijia has been in charge of New Oriental's branch in Baodao for the past few years. Before Lin Daoqiu and Li Zhengnan fell out, the business of the branch was completely interrupted, so Zhang Aijia could only return to Xiangjiang for development.

But because "Best Partner" has been stopped, she basically doesn't participate in the discussion of the group of seven.

As for Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng who are busy making Tsui Hark's movie, basically they don't know how to come to the party.

And Zeng Zhiwei and Teddy Robin both have their own jobs, and the era of New Art City's brainstorming and teamwork is over.

In the past few years, Mai Jia has been busy speculating in stocks, and he doesn't pay much attention to filming. Huang Baiming in New Art City has a lot of fighting spirit, but Mai Jia's boss looks like this, which makes him feel very helpless.

So Huang Baiming decided to have a talk with Mai Jia. After all, the New Art City is useless now, and it is difficult for the seven-member team to even have three people, so what is it called a seven-member team.

When he came to Mai Jia's office, Huang Baiming knocked on the door, and he opened the door and walked out after getting a response from Mai Jia.

Just as Huang Baiming guessed, at this moment Mai Jia was staring at the stocks on the computer, which made him shake his head.
