To Qifeng himself refused to direct this movie, but recommended someone else to direct it, and Lin Youlun was suddenly a little interested in To Qifeng's desire to recommend this person.

"This Mr. Lin should also know, he used to work in a TV station like me, and last year his contract with TVB expired, hoping to develop in the film industry, and then found me and Wang Jing. Because we were also familiar with him, we invested in a film for him, which was also nominated for several awards at this year's Academy Awards. ”

Before Du Qifeng finished speaking, Lin Youlun interjected a sentence.

"You're talking about Chen Dusheng, right?"

To Qifeng nodded, Lin Youlun can call out Chen Yousheng's name, which means that Chen Weisheng's performance in the film industry has attracted Lin Youlun's attention, but if you recommend more, Du Qifeng feels that there is no need to say it again.

At the level of Lin Youlun, he has his own considerations and opinions when making any decision, and it is okay for others to make suggestions, but it is impossible to influence his thoughts.

Lin Youlun put down his chopsticks, looked at Du Qifeng and asked, "Chen Dusheng should be regarded as half of your apprentice." ”

This point, Johnny To does not deny, "He worked as an assistant director for a year when he was wireless. ”

"Okay, you go back and mention this matter to him, and I'll arrange a time to meet him as soon as possible."

Lin Youlun is so easy to speak, of course, not because of Du Qifeng's recommendation, but based on the understanding of Chen Dusheng in the memory of later generations.

Chen Dusheng has only made one movie so far, but it is this movie that has made newcomer Wu Qianlian popular in one fell swoop, and also created a classic screen role of "Hua Di" for Liu Dehua, the name of this movie is "Heavenly Love".

In the production list of the movie "Heavenly Love". You can see the names of Du Qifeng, Wang Jing, and Lin Lingdong. Generally, you won't see so many directors' names in a movie. The main reason why "Heavenly Love" can have such a luxurious behind-the-scenes lineup is because the director of this movie is Wang Tianlin's name.

Last year, Wang Tianlin retired from TVB, Du Qifeng, Lin Lingdong, and Wang Jing got together to discuss making a movie as a celebration.

Among the many action film directors in Hong Kong. Chen Dusheng is one of the more distinctive, and in later life, he had the nickname of "hot director" in the Hong Kong film industry, because each of his action movies will have extremely hot but novel and unique action scenes, and at the same time have a prominent role in promoting the progress of the plot, such as the action scenes such as car chases in the downtown area, rooftop duels, and falling glass walls from high altitudes in "Who Am I" with Cheng Long, which are thrilling and exciting; In "Three Forks", the car reverses backwards and crashes and other reversely conceived scenes, which are different.

Chen Dusheng does not push the "aesthetics of violence" to the extreme like Wu Yusen, nor does he make action movies full of literature and art like Johnny To, but his films attach great importance to the presentation of literary drama. Although many action movie directors will also add some literary dramas that show the emotions of the characters such as brotherhood and romance in addition to the action, the time is very limited, and it is basically designed to serve the action scenes. Chen Dusheng is different. The literary drama in his films not only has a large proportion, but also has an important impetus for the development of the plot of the film. In other words, while other action directors use action scenes to drive the plot, Chan likes to use the plot to drive the story.

Because of the aggravation of literary drama, Chen Dusheng's film pays great attention to character portrayal and emotional performance, which is very consistent with the style of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

"Mr. Lin, there's one more thing." Du Qifeng hesitated slightly, and finally felt that he was telling the truth to Lin Youlun, "Chen Dusheng told me some time ago that ATV wanted to invite him to be the director of the TV series, you ...... it."

Lin Youlun shrugged, "Let him make his own choice between making a movie and making a TV series, this doesn't have to be forced." ”

Du Qifeng nodded, he already knew what to do.

——

"Mr. Du, are you looking for me?" Chen Weisheng pushed open the door of Johnny To's office and walked in.

Du Qifeng stopped what he was doing, nodded to Chen Dusheng, threw a cigarette to him, and then beckoned him to sit down.

"Ah Sheng, last time I remember you told me that ATV asked you to be the director of the TV series, did you agree to this?"

"It's still under consideration." Chen Dusheng took out a lighter, first raised his hand to help Du Qifeng light it, and then himself.

To Qifeng took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Chen Weisheng with a calm expression, "If there is an opportunity for you to make a movie now, are you willing to give up the invitation from ATV?" ”

"The two shouldn't be contradictory, right?"

Chen Dusheng looked at To Qifeng with some puzzlement, he went to ATV as a producer, and he didn't need to be his own director, but through cooperation with different TV drama producers, he could better find the type of TV series he was good at grasping, he had mentioned such an idea to To Qifeng before, and Du Qifeng was also very supportive, why did he change his mind now?

"This time the situation is a bit special, I told you that the investor of that movie is Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin is going to ask me to make a movie?" When Chen Dusheng heard this, he was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his seat.

Du Qifeng raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Chen Dusheng to sit down first and not get excited.

"In this movie, Mr. Lin originally wanted to ask me to direct, but I thought you were more suitable than me, so I recommended you to him, but you know that in the competition between ATV and TVB, Mr. Lin is on the side of TV, plus the relationship between him and Lin Jianyue has not been good, you have gone to ATV now, and it may be a little difficult to develop in the film industry later."

Chen Dusheng was silent, he knew that Du Qifeng's words were right, but he had already verbally agreed to ATV, and it seemed a little bad to regret it at this time.

"It's okay, you just said that you received a movie in your hand, and you can't go to ATV for the time being, Xu Xiaoming's side I'll help you say it." With a wave of Du Qifeng's hand, the matter was decided.

——

When it was almost time to get off work, Li Zhuanglie pushed Xu Xiaoming's office open and saw him sitting there with his hands crossed with a depressed expression.

"What, what's wrong?"

"I just received a call from Du Qifeng." Xu Xiaoming said expressionlessly.

"Something to do with Chen Dusheng?" Li Zhuanglie immediately thought of a possibility.

Xu Xiaoming nodded, "Du Qifeng told me that there is a new movie that Chen Dusheng needs to shoot, and he can't come to our side to work in a short time." ”

"Excuses!" Li Zhuanglie said without hesitation.

Xu Xiaoming shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I know that this is an excuse, but what can I do, the conditions we have offered to Chen Dusheng are already very generous, he gave up such an opportunity for a movie, and the people behind that movie must be not small." ”

Li Zhuanglie's brows also furrowed, "You mean, who will be the one looking for Chen Dusheng to film?" ”

Xu Xiaoming sighed noncommittally, "It's hard to say, but thinking about the relationship between Wang Jing, Du Qifeng and that person, you said that this possibility is really big...... Such a big thing, I think the news will come out soon. ”

Li Zhuanglie nodded, "You have already told Lin Bo the news?" ”

"This kind of thing, I can't hide it if I want to." Xu Xiaoming pouted, "If it's really that one, I don't think ATV will have a good time in the future." ”

Li Zhuanglie raised his eyebrows, "Did you hear anything from the wireless?" ”

"This is not true, but have you noticed that since last year, the number of times that he has helped wireless has increased, although I don't know how long he will be in charge of wireless, but it is certain that once he takes over wireless, ATV will inevitably be suppressed like never before."

Xu Xiaoming is not optimistic about the future development of ATV, and he is not the only one who holds this view, the entire ATV is actually filled with a pessimistic mood, and it is even rumored that Lin Baixin has begun to look for the next buyer for ATV.

"The one who wants to join the wireless, even if Shao Yifu agrees, Fang Yihua may not be willing." Although Li Zhuanglie also has the same opinion as Xu Xiaoming in his heart, he thinks that Lin Youlun will not become the owner of wireless so soon.

"What if Fang Yihua doesn't agree? As long as Shao Yifu nods, there will not be much resistance, not to mention that although he does not participate in the affairs of wireless on the surface, he has actually slowly infiltrated the influence into the wireless...... If you don't believe me, we can make a bet that before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, wireless will definitely change hands. ”

"I did hear the news that Taiwan is said to be likely to issue a new TV license." Li Zhuanglie paused, "Do you think Mr. Lin will intervene in this matter?" ”

Xu Xiaoming raised his eyebrows, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "It seems that we all underestimate Mr. Lin's ambition and seize the Taiwan market. ”

Li Zhuanglie hesitated slightly, "Do you think it's necessary to talk to Lin Bo about this matter?" ”

Xu Xiaoming shook his head very decisively, "Forget it, it is difficult for Lin Bozhi to do anything about this matter, ATV's current operation has given him a headache, how can he still have the strength to take care of Taiwan." ”

ATV has been crushed by wireless in Hong Kong, and it is a bit beyond its strength to stretch out its hand to Taiwan.

Li Zhuanglie felt that Xu Xiaoming's words made sense, so he also gave up this idea. (To be continued......)
