Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"Can I not go?"

Of course Wang Jing didn't want to go. Wen Juan was going crazy to find Lin Daoqiu, and he didn't want to go with him to his misfortune. After all, he wouldn't be able to stop Lin Daoqiu if he got angry.

"What's wrong? Do you look down on me? Or do you think what I just said doesn't make sense? If so, it doesn't matter. You can leave now, but don't say that I, Wen Juan, know you in the future."

If Wen Juan was completely drunk, it would be okay, Wang Jingli would not pay attention to him, but the trouble now is that Wen Juan is only a little drunk now, not completely drunk. If he falls out with him at this time, If he still remembers these things when he sobers up tomorrow, he might actually take these words seriously.

You must know that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are Lin Daoqiu's closest confidants. Except for Brigitte Lin and Zhong Chuhong, other women may not be able to compare with them in terms of their status in Lin Daoqiu's mind. If they are compared with these two guys Having a falling out will do you no good at all.

"How could this happen? I'll go, I'll go with you."

Wang Jing could only bite the bullet and agreed. Although he had a thousand reluctances in his heart, he had to follow Wen Juan to find Lin Daoqiu.

Zheng Danrui had no choice but to go. Wang Jing agreed to go, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't go. So he could only nodded, and the three of them left the box and went straight to Lin Daoqiu's villa.

On the way there, Zheng Danrui called Lin Daoqiu and briefly explained the matter to him.

Lin Daoqiu was having dinner with Brigitte Lin. When he learned that Wen Juan and the others were looking for him, he thought something had happened, so he asked them to come to Brigitte Lin's villa.

"Did something happen?"

After Lin Daoqiu put down the phone, Brigitte Lin next to her turned to look at him and asked.

Normally Wenjun and the others wouldn't call Lin Daoqiu so late at night, but once they did, it would definitely be something important.

"I don't know. I just know that they want to come to me and say they have something to talk to me about."

Lin Daoqiu also felt strange. As for what happened, Wen Juan and the others would know it later.

After waiting for a while, Wen Juan, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing arrived at Brigitte Lin's villa.

Lin Qingxia knew that they had something to talk about, so she went upstairs to rest first, leaving Lin Daoqiu alone in the living room waiting for them.

After Wenjun and the others entered the room, Lin Daoqiu pointed to the sofa next to them and asked them to sit down.

Lin Daoqiu noticed that the faces of the three of them were blushing to varying degrees. They looked like they had just drank, but they didn't look drunk, so they probably weren't drunk.

"You came to me so late, what happened?"

After Wenjun and the others sat down, Lin Daoqiu looked at them and asked.

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing turned to look at Wen Juan, Wen Juan turned to look at Zheng Danrui, and Zheng Danrui looked at Wen Juan.

So under the situation of two to one, Wen Juan had no choice but to turn his head to Lin Daoqiu.

"Just tell me what you have to say, why are you hesitating here?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Juan and the others with a puzzled look. He didn't understand why he didn't say anything since they were all here. Was it so difficult? "Qiu...Brother Qiu, it's like this, I...we heard that you are going to invest in a special effects blockbuster for Tsui Hark?"

Wen Juan asked Lin Daoqiu directly in front of him while drinking.

Lin Daoqiu turned his head and glanced at Zheng Danrui. Not many people knew about this matter, and Zheng Danrui was one of them. He should have revealed it to Wen Juan.

But this is not a big deal, as long as it is not spread to the outside world, so he did not blame Zheng Danrui.

"Okay, what's the problem?"

After receiving Lin Daoqiu's affirmative answer, Wen Juan looked more excited than before.

"No, Brother Qiu, you can't do this. That guy Tsui Hark has no problem making ordinary movies. If you leave this kind of special effects blockbuster with an investment of over [-] million to him, he will definitely be a big hit when the time comes, and it will be a big hit. It’s a complete mess, so we came here today to hope that Brother Qiu can take back his life and not invest in Tsui Hark.”

Pointing his hand to one side, Wen Juan continued.

"The original "New Shushan Swordsman" by Xu Ke was a disaster. Now he wants to make a sequel to "New Shushan Swordsman", "The Legend of Shushan". This is simply an act of using money to burn. I feel like this It’s very bad, so I think Brother Qiu, you can’t invest in him, it must be cancelled.”

When Wen Juan finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu did not say whether he agreed or objected, but looked at Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing and asked.

"Do you agree with what Ah Juan means?"

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing lowered his head silently and did not dare to answer.

Zheng Danrui glanced at Wen Juan, and he nodded after hesitating for a while. After all, Tsui Hark's original "New Shushan Swordsman" did not sell for money. The risk of investing in such a sequel is not small. Normally, unless the original "The New Shushan Swordsman" was very good, but it was not a hit due to some reasons, so it is understandable that Lin Daoqiu paid Tsui Hark to shoot "The Legend of Shushan".

But that's not the case. It's no wonder that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui have such thoughts. It's normal.

Lin Daoqiu didn't get angry with Wenjun and Zheng Danrui because they opposed his investment in Tsui Hark. After all, this was a matter that could be discussed, and it was not certain who was right or wrong.

"You think Tsui Hark's "The New Shushan Swordsman" was a hit on the street, so his "The Legend of Shushan" will naturally be a hit on the street, is that what you mean?"

"Brother Qiu, Magic Studio is indeed unique in the world in terms of special effects technology, but the movie is about the plot, and the special effects are only part of it. I don't think Tsui Hark's sequel to "The New Shushan Swordsman" will be a big hit. I can't say whether he can or not. When it comes to writing a convincing script, there are great limitations in film and television dramas based on the theme of Xianxia alone.”

"Foreigners can't understand this at all, so there are only a few places where "The Legend of Shushan" can be screened after it is filmed. It is obviously impossible to expect "The Legend of Shushan" to sell well in Neon and Han. , of course you can say that these are all my personal guesses and they don’t count, but the fact is indeed like this, and you can’t refute it, right?”

Not only did Lin Daoqiu not refute Wen Juan's words, he actually nodded, because what the other party said was absolutely correct.

If you don’t have a sufficient understanding of Chinese culture, you won’t be able to understand what’s being said in movies and TV series based on fairy tales. It’s no wonder that foreigners can’t understand it. It’s a movie that you can’t even understand. If you want to sell it big, it will probably be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Therefore, Wenjun and the others' worries were not unreasonable, and Lin Daoqiu naturally would not blame them for this.

This time Lin Daoqiu rarely had the idea of ​​​​identifying with them. This was probably something Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui did not expect. (End of chapter)
