Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 307 The Birth of Uncle Nine
As the person who carried forward the zombie film, "Mr. Zombie" can be said to be one of Lin Zhengying's masterpieces.

This movie, which was released in 1985, won a box office of 2000 million at that time. It can be said that this movie made Lin Zhengying famous all at once, and also established him as the number one brother in zombie movies.

Uncle Jiu played by him is a very classic role, and many people even think that Lin Zhengying is actually the Taoist priest of Maoshan himself.

But Lin Zhengying still doesn't know how important this "Mr. Zombie" is to him.

And he didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to make a supernatural film at this time.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Daoqiu found that the expressions of Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa looked a little weird.

Although they don't think that Lin Daoqiu is going for Sammo Hung, it's really strange to make the same type of movie at the same time.

Not to mention that this is a type that no one has filmed before. If it is just a coincidence, then it is too much of a coincidence.

"No...no problem, since Mr. Lin has spoken, we are naturally fine."

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa quickly shook their heads.

If you want to say that the actors in Xiangjiang want to work with the most, Lin Daoqiu is definitely the most well-deserved number one.

Not to mention that Lin Daoqiu was still the benefactor of the two of them, how could Lin Zhengying and the others refuse when he opened his mouth.

"This is the script, take it back and have a look. Uncle Jiu will be in charge of the director and action director of this play."

"Uncle Jiu? Who is Uncle Jiu?"

Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa raised their heads almost at the same time, because they had never heard of the name Uncle Nine.

Lin Daoqiu forgot that they hadn't read the script yet, so they didn't know who Uncle Jiu was.

"Uncle Jiu is the leading actor in this drama, that is, you, Ah Ying."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Lin Zhengying pointed to her nose with a surprised expression on her face.

It seems that he is both the actor and the action director, and he has to play the role of director, which is really busy enough.

"You can concentrate on studying the script and action scenes now. Remember, Uncle Nine is a very powerful Taoist priest of Maoshan, so you must be fast and accurate in martial arts, especially when subduing zombies."

Needless to say, Lin Zhengying's skills, but this is his first time making a zombie film, so Lin Daoqiu still needs to give him some help, so that he can get started as soon as possible.

Lin Zhengying still seems to have a vague understanding of this drama, but with Lin Daoqiu's script, his worries can still be alleviated a lot.

After seeing off Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa, Lin Daoqiu looked at the time and found that it was almost time, so he asked Fang Jinsheng to prepare a car to pick up Zhong Chuhong.

"Have Lou Nanguang and Qian Xiaohao been found?"

After getting in the car, Lin Daoqiu suddenly remembered the matter of asking Fang Jinsheng to find someone.

As Uncle Ying's two apprentices, these two people are naturally one of the important characters in this play.

Lou Nanguang has just graduated from TVB's artist training class, and is now playing a dead body in Qingshui Bay.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't know his name, Fang Jinsheng might not be able to find this person.

"It has been found, and he has agreed to star in "Mr. Zombie."

Because of his ordinary appearance and average acting skills, Lou Nanguang didn't even get to sign an artist contract.

When Fang Jinsheng found him, Lou Nanguang immediately agreed after he finished speaking, nodding his head quickly.

But Qian Xiaohao had some trouble here.

"Qian Xiaohao is filming "Shaolin and Wudang" directed by Zhang Cheh. He has become Zhang Cheh's disciple before, so he did not agree to our invitation."

After Fang Jinsheng finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame. He couldn't even handle a 17-year-old child. He felt that he was too incompetent.

"It's okay, since he doesn't want to come, forget it, I'll find someone else."

Qian Xiaohao is not the key to this drama, Lin Daoqiu just wants to get the original team together, even if he is missing, it will not have any impact.

It's not that there are handsome people who can play in Xiangjiang. At least Lin Daoqiu immediately thought of a guy with many talents. It just so happened that he also started to become an actor this year.

This person's name is Chen Xunqi, who was originally a soundtrack master. At its peak, 75% of the movies in Xiangjiang and Baodao were composed by him.

But now he is probably tired of dubbing and intends to find something new to do, so becoming an actor has naturally become one of his choices.

…………

In order not to let others know about her relationship with Lin Daoqiu, Zhong Chuhong repeatedly ordered Lin Daoqiu not to meet her in Li's.

Even if she met, she had to act as if she didn't know each other, because she didn't want to be gossiped by others.

After Zhong Chuhong explained this, Lin Daoqiu naturally had no choice but to respect her opinion, so when he came to pick up Zhong Chuhong, he didn't enter Li, but parked the car on the side of the road and waited for her.

"Hurry up and drive."

Opening the car door and slipping into the back seat, while lowering her head, she quickly gave orders to the driver. This series of actions seemed to be very proficient for Zhong Chuhong.

She didn't dare to raise her head until the car had driven for a while.

"If you didn't know, you would think you were a spy."

Lin Daoqiu watched from beginning to end, and couldn't help laughing at the end.

"It's not all because of you. If someone sees me getting into your car, I'm afraid tomorrow Li will start gossip. I don't like that."

Zhong Chuhong seemed a little unhappy when she said this. Although she didn't like to hide, she felt that it was better to deal with it like this for the time being than being discovered by others.

"I came to see you today, besides taking you home, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

After hearing Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Zhong Chuhong turned to look at him, her delicate face was full of doubts.

"I can't find a female character in a play, so I have to ask you to help me."

Zhong Chuhong looked at Lin Daoqiu dubiously. If this is the case, then she would not mind doing Lin Daoqiu this favor.

She felt that what Lin Daoqiu was talking about might just be an insignificant character, so she agreed without thinking too much.

Originally, the heroine of "Mr. Zombie" was Li Saifeng, but the other party is only 15 years old now, and it is too reluctant for her to play this role, so Lin Daoqiu planned to let Zhong Chuhong replace Li Saifeng.

In fact, there is no difficulty in this role, it only needs to be beautiful, and Chu Hong can definitely pass the test at this point.

"If it's just a favor, it's fine, as long as you don't think my acting is bad."

After entering Li's actor training class for a few days, Zhong Chuhong's eyes were really wide open. Only then did she realize that there are so many things to pay attention to in acting.

It took her a while to learn just how to move, let alone memorize lines and perform those things.

Fortunately, Lin Zhengying still had to prepare for this drama for a while, at least one or two months would not be lost, so Zhong Chuhong still had plenty of time to study.
