Tsui Hark persuaded Cheng Xiaodong, and Zhang Shaojie also borrowed Yuan Heping from Golden Harvest.

The gorgeous lineup of martial arts instructors has gathered!

There is also a lack of actors!

The movie version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is a new *wave* tide movie that completely pays attention to innovation, and it does not want to recruit some star lineups to increase gimmicks, but to find some characters who really fit the image of the protagonist.

A list submitted by Tsui Hark to Zhang Shaojie:

Wu Dairong - Xu Ziling - Wan Ziliang - Kou Zhong and Zhang Shaojie have no opinions. Wu Dairong was later famous for his martial arts images such as Hua Wujian and Fu Hongxue, and he was a handsome young student, especially when he wore ancient costumes, he looked very graceful.

Wan Ziliang has a strong figure and appearance, which is also more in line with the image of Kou Zhong in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

The current Wu Dairong is not famous, even if he is handsome, no one cares about him - because he is a trickster. It wasn't until 83 that Wu Dairong began to play a role in a TV series in Singapore and won the title of Singapore's most handsome guy. After developing in Hong Kong in 87 years, after acting in some ancient dragon dramas, Wu Dairong's handsome hand also began to be recognized by audiences in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Chinese mainland.

Wan Ziliang is better than Wu Dairong, 77 years participated in Li's TV shoot of the ancient dragon drama "The Sword of the Third Young Master", gained a lot of fame, just participated in the TV series "Da Nei Heroes" this year, the ratings are only second only to this year's TVB's "Shanghai Tang", and now Wan Ziliang is already the master of Li's TV.

Zhang Shaojie said: "Tsui Hark, the people you are looking for seem to be acting in TV series!" ”

Tsui Hark smiled: "I think that in the film industry at this time, those images are not satisfactory to me." For example, although Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others are famous, they are too far from the image of "Datang". And I first worked in Li's TV, and I am more familiar with Wan Ziliang, I think he is fully competent to play Kou Zhong! ”

"Wan Ziliang, I know, but Wu Dairong is a Singaporean trickster, what happened to you?" Zhang Shaojie said curiously.

Tsui Hark explains: "As a director, it is natural to observe potential actors. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, the latest movies and TV series in the Chinese-speaking circle, I pay attention to them. It is inevitable to find some potential seedlings from film and television dramas. Wu Dai Rong was accidentally seen on a show in Singapore! ”

Zhang Shaojie sighed in his heart that it is not easy to be a director.

Whether you make a movie or not, you have to keep researching the industry. Tsui Hark not only watches Hong Kong film and television dramas, but also dabbles in Taiwan and Singapore film and television dramas. Discovering talents from film and television dramas is a must-have homework for a director. This is similar to the coach of a football club who has to discover potential football players through some video tapes of football games.

Tsui Hark chose the roles of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Tsui Hark gave them a salary of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars for Wan Ziliang. Wu Dairong 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Needless to say, Wan Ziliang is Li's master, although the salary of a TV series is only 3,000 yuan. But in half a year, Wan Ziliang can act in at least 40 episodes of TV series, and Wan Ziliang's half-year income is more than 100,000. Tsui Hark invited Wan Ziliang to act in the movie, and the price must be much higher than Wan Ziliang's TV series in order to attract Wan Ziliang to participate.

Wu Dairong is a newcomer, so even if he is invited to play Xu Ziling, he will only give him 50,000 yuan.

Zhang Shaojie signed Tsui Hark's submitted list, agreeing to his choice of cast.

After that, Zhang Shaojie was ready to go to Taiwan with Gu Long!

Wansheng Publishing House in Taiwan has sent more than 10,000 letters from book lovers.

Countless Taiwanese book lovers strongly petitioned to meet Zhang Shaojie.

Wansheng's Yu Donglou almost begged Zhang Shaojie and said: "Boss Zhang Shaojie, please come to Taiwan!" Book lovers have already clamored that if you don't come to Taiwan, thousands of people will be organized to bury Wansheng Company with anger! ”

At least one-third of Zhang Shaojie's manuscript fee income comes from the Taiwan market.

For the sake of Yu Donglou's request, Zhang Shaojie was a little compassionate and said, "Okay! Come to Taiwan in early August! ”

Yu Donglou said: "Thank you very much! Zhang Shaojie, you are simply my life-saving benefactor, a reborn parent! ”

Zhang Shaojie: ""

Is it necessary to exaggerate it? It seems that more than 20 years later, in the online novel industry, many great writers and eunuchs are unfinished, and they have not seen book fans really go to the starting point company to petition and demonstrate

Well, of course, this is related to the political environment of Chinese mainland, which is extremely orderly. This kind of petition, procession, and the like happened in the 80s, and it almost caused a nationwide riot, so later the procession and petition activities became taboo, and it was difficult for the executive branch to approve it.

Taiwan is a little different. Taiwan's politics is open boil plus triad and money politics. Taiwan's "black gold politics" simply means that politicians have a triad background! Today, Politician A takes his younger brother to stab Politician B, and tomorrow Politician B shoots his younger brother at Politician A. Today is the boss of the underworld, and in a few years he may be able to become mayor and president.

In short, the atmosphere in Taiwan is to play hooligans with the slogan of boiling, and it has the style of those revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China in the history of not separating from the underworld.

To explain it in the words of later fruit fans - that is "the style of the Republic of China!" ", the fan of the Republic of China, what does the turtle know?

Taiwan's politicians are playing hooligans, and there are millions of gangsters playing hooligans, so many ordinary people have begun to learn to play hooligans.

It is indeed possible to organize thousands of people, threaten the publishing house, demonstrate and petition, beat up the owner of the publishing house, enter the publishing house and smash and loot.

Therefore, Yu Donglou is afraid of the parade!

Because as soon as the demonstrations intensify, such a thing as hooliganism will definitely happen!

Zhang Shaojie promised to go to Taiwan in early August, in addition to sympathizing with Yu Donglou.

There is another reason for the movie version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Zhang Shaojie is ready to invite Lin Qingxia to play Fu Junwu. In the early 80s, Lin Qingxia was not famous for acting in martial arts movies, but as a literary film actress, and in the 70s, Lin Qingxia had a lot of popularity in Taiwan because of her role in Qiong Yao dramas.

In the Taiwanese film industry at this time, among the cutting-edge actors, "Erlin Erqin" is the most popular. Erlin refers to Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao. The second Qin is Qin Han and Qin Xianglin.

In 79, Lin Qingxia decided to leave the Taiwanese film industry and live in the United States because of the pressure of frequent filmmaking. In 1980, Lin Qingxia returned to Taiwan, no longer acting in Qiong Yao dramas, but participated in the Xinhai Revolution-themed movie "Blue Blood and Yellow Flowers". This movie is actually a remake of the 1954 Hong Kong version of the Xinhai Revolution film "Blue Blood and Yellow Flowers", which is based on a historical letter - "Yi Ying Qingqing is like a meeting: I will say goodbye to you with this book today!" When I wrote this book, I was one man in the world; When thou read this book, I became a ghost in the underworld......"

This is a letter from the revolutionary martyr Lin Juemin in history. After writing his letter, Lin Juemin threw himself into the Xinhai Revolution and became one of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang who sacrificed for the revolution. The story is quite tragic!

In fact, in this era, the commercial films produced in Taiwan are not sufficient, but the films with war and revolutionary themes are still relatively good at them because of the financial support of the authorities.

Although this movie won the 17th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, it won the Best Director Award and the Best Actor Award, and Lin Qingxia did not win any awards. After all, in this era, Taiwanese film critics still regard Lin Qingxia as a vase, and there is no filmmaker, and they agree that Lin Qingxia is a powerful actor.

In the early 80s, Taiwan's film industry went down. Lin Qingxia was miserable in Taiwan for a while, in 82 Lin Qingxia was invited to participate in Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Shushan Heroes", and in 85 she went to Hong Kong to develop, and gradually transformed from a Taiwanese literary film girl to a Hong Kong martial arts film actress.

After acting in martial arts, Lin Qingxia's career in movies began to really reach the peak!

Zhang Shaojie smiled, 79-year-old Lin Qingxia and Teresa Teng have all been to the United States. Lin Qingxia was relaxed for a while, and then returned to Taiwan. Teresa Teng is studying Chinese, English, biology and mathematics in the United States, and in the 10th year of this year, Teresa Teng will also return to Taiwan

It is said that when Teresa Teng was studying in the United States, she once met Jackie Chan, who was filming "Killer Trench" with Hollywood. Teresa Teng has the heart to ask Jackie Chan to chat and eat. However, Jackie Chan is more frustrated, because he has not studied for a few years, and he is not used to eating Western food, and his behavior seems rude and uneducated. Getting along with a talented musician like Teresa Teng, Jackie Chan seemed inferior, and after acting in the movie, he returned to Hong Kong and was in no mood to chase Teresa Teng.

At the beginning of the 80s, there were countless wonders, countless possibilities.

Zhang Shaojie's mind was full of thoughts

—————— Taipei.

Zhang Shaojie and Gu Long got off the plane, and Yu Donglou greeted them at the airport.

"Hehe, Zhang Shaojie, it's really rare to finally meet you. Your books have been published in Taiwan for more than 3 months, and a total of 4.18 million copies have been sold. Yu Donglou quipped.

Zhang Shaojie said embarrassedly: "I'm a person who doesn't like to run around. Besides, I'm not familiar with Taiwan again."

Yu Donglou smiled: "Okay! You are not familiar with life, Gu Long and I are the hosts, today at noon, we must go and get drunk! ”

Zhang Shaojie was a little hesitant: "Drinking? Don't. I'm not drinking well! ”

"Haha! Man, how can you not drink! Let's go, after three rounds of drinking, let Gu Long help you find a few Taiwanese beauties to accompany you" Yu Donglou said with a smile, "Taiwanese girls are very different from Hong Kong charm!" ”

Zhang Shaojie hurriedly refused: "Don't look for Miss, I really don't need it!" ”

Gu Long said: "Yu Donglou, don't tease him." Zhang Shaojie is an honest man, not a prodigal son who is used to seeing Fengyue. Wine is to be drunk, so women should not look for it. ”

Yu Donglou said strangely: "If you don't drink and don't find a girl to accompany you, is this the ancient dragon I know?" ”

The group laughed and boarded a bus prepared in the East Building. The car drove slowly and began to drive towards the headquarters of Wansheng Publishing House

In the car.

Zhang Shaojie looked at the street scene outside the window and felt a different scenery.

Unlike Hong Kong, which is congested, Taiwan is also an island city, but the island is 30 times larger than Hong Kong, and the population density is not as crowded as Hong Kong.

Although Taipei is also a big city, it is not full of skyscrapers like Hong Kong.

The crowded environment in Hong Kong also makes people feel radical and excited. Taiwan. The relatively low buildings here make people feel relaxed
