In order to confirm the true reasonableness of his adaptation of the plot of "Flying Tiger", Lin Youlun also needs to confirm one thing to Ren Darong first.

"Sir, if Hong Kong citizens encounter danger outside Hong Kong, such as hijacking and kidnapping, is it possible for the Flying Tigers to be dispatched?"

Ren Darong raised his eyebrows, "Armed entry into other countries is not allowed, even if it is the Flying Tigers affiliated with the police force, there are only two possibilities for overseas operations, one is that the other party takes the initiative to ask for assistance; Second, the government considers the security of the hostages and exerts diplomatic pressure on the other side to force the other side to agree. The probability of the latter is very low, because the responsibility for the rescue mission falls entirely on the oneself, and the government generally will not make such a choice if it is not absolutely certain. ”

"But it is the Hong Kong people who are being abducted, is it because they are afraid of responsibility, so the government can ignore the lives of these people?" Lin Youlun asked rhetorically.

Ren Darong shrugged helplessly, "Mr. Lin values the safety of Hong Kong people overseas, but when it comes to the government, the problem rises to the level of politics and diplomacy, and of course those in power must consider it carefully, and our police can only act when they receive orders, which I hope Mr. Lin understands." ”

Lin Youlun pursed his lips and said to himself: "If an American citizen is in distress overseas, the U.S. government probably won't sit idly by, right?" ”

Of course, Ren Darong understood what Lin Youlun meant when he said this, "Mr. Lin, just now you and I specifically explained the difference between movies and reality, why are you confusing this issue now, American citizens are in distress overseas, and it is indeed possible for the US government to directly intervene with arms." But it's not as simple as it might be in a Hollywood movie. They need to go through the same procedures as we do. Moreover, the identity of the abductee is very important, and ordinary people will never have such treatment, at most, Washington uses its strong diplomatic strength to exert pressure on the other government, and if someone is unfortunately killed afterwards, the government will express regret and condolences, and if this kind of thing happens in Russia and China, the United States' diplomatic means are estimated to have little effect. ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, "Whether that's the case or not." At least Hollywood can send a hint in the movie that American citizens will not be bullied wherever they go, but we can't. ”

This time, Ren Darong didn't speak again.

The United States has strong economic and military capabilities to back it up, and of course it has such confidence, but Hong Kong can't, and its political affiliation after the return is still uncertain, and even whether the Flying Tigers can continue to retain it is a big question.

Lin Youlun also knew that he was still a little too idealistic on this issue, so he didn't continue to dwell on the discussion of this matter, but turned the topic back to the movie.

"It can't be done in reality, but the movie should give everyone a little hope and confidence, right?"

Ren Darong didn't understand why Lin Youlun had to be entangled in this issue. But the boss asked him to cooperate with Lin Youlun, so he could only follow the other party's train of thought to consider the problem. "If Mr. Lin really wants to shoot the theme of the Flying Tigers' overseas operations, it is not impossible. But in the plot, it must be handled so that the other side takes the initiative to ask us for help, and the other party must explain clearly why he wants to ask us for help, otherwise it will not be good to leave the audience with the impression that the Flying Tigers can act across borders at will. ”

"What kind of reasons would make sense?" Lin Youlun asked.

Ren Darong thought for a while and said: "The first person to be kidnapped must be Hong Kong citizens, so that our Flying Tigers can become famous; Secondly, the other side has to launch an operation first without success, and it is best to encounter powerful robbers, whose own police and special forces cannot cope with it, so they have to ask for help from our side. ”

"So the country where the robbery took place is better than the one that is weak and has little status in the world?" Lin Youlun asked again.

Ren Darong nodded, that's basically what he meant.

"Okay, I see." Lin Youlun nodded, he wanted to shoot a movie about the Flying Tigers' overseas operations, not to promote the strength of the US military like Hollywood films, but to make a little warning about the kidnapping of a tour group that will happen in the Philippines in the future.

In the rescue operation of this kidnapping case, the performance of the Philippine police was really disappointing, the whole operation lacked planning, the special police equipment was backward, and there was no professional combat quality to deal with such incidents, so that when the hostages were killed in the last negotiation, many unnecessary casualties were caused.

After the incident, many people were reflecting that if the Hong Kong government had reacted more quickly to this incident and took the initiative to send someone to take over the hostage rescue work, maybe the matter would have been a different ending.

As long as there is a warning for the future, Lin Youlun certainly doesn't mind "hacking" the Philippines once in the movie.

"Sir Ren, how about you see the plot arranged like this? A Hong Kong tour group was hijacked by gangsters at gunpoint in the Philippines, and the Philippine police underestimated the strength of this gang of gangsters because of a mistake in the rescue process, and lost troops in the process of rescuing, and finally found out that the identity of this gang of gangsters was the US Navy SEALs who had defected after coming to Asia to carry out a mission, and the other party was carrying advanced weapons and advanced tactical literacy, and the Philippine police were not opponents at all, so in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, they had no choice but to ask Hong Kong for help. ”

"Isn't that a bit of a disparagement of the Philippine police?" Ren Darong was a little worried after listening to Lin Youlun's plot concept.

Lin Youlun sneered in his heart, this is already a lot of face for the Philippine police, of course, in front of Ren Darong, he will not say that.

"It's not that the Philippine police are too weak, it's mainly that the opponent I arranged for them this time is too strong, considering the reality of the Philippines, such a plot should be acceptable."

When Lin Youlun said this, Ren Darong also felt that he was a little worried, after all, the task of the police this time was only to assist Lin Youlun in filming, and he had no right to decide what to do with this movie.

"I'm a layman for this kind of thing, since Mr. Lin thinks it's okay, then everything is OK."

Ren Darong is so "reasonable", of course Lin Youlun has to express it.

"I know that the selection of the Flying Tigers is very strict, most of the team members are above 1.8 in height, and there are not many people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who meet the appearance conditions of the Flying Tigers.

Lin Youlun thought that Ren Darong would happily agree, but he didn't expect Ren Darong to shake his head and take the initiative to refuse the olive branch extended by Lin Youlun.

"Mr. Lin, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want Ah Hua to star in this movie, both public and private. From a personal standpoint, I don't want my relationship with Ah Hua to be known by too many people, and Mr. Lin also knows that my line of work seems to be beautiful, but in fact it will offend many people, and I don't want to affect my family because of this; And from a public standpoint, I know in my heart what movies Ah Hua has acted in over the years, they are all tertiary films that can't be on the stage, and it seems that he played 'Duck' once some time ago, of course, these are his personal choices, and I have no right to interfere, but with his current image in the minds of the audience, playing a member of the Hong Kong Flying Tigers, even if he is my younger brother, I absolutely can't accept it. ”

Lin Youlun only considered that Ren Dahua was tall and mighty, so he wanted to be a favor, but he forgot that Ren Dahua had been acting in tertiary films during this period, and his image in the audience was really not positive, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to play the captain of the Flying Tigers.

Ren Darong's righteous and stern refusal saved Lin Youlun a trouble.

Of course, Ren Darong is not unkind, "Mr. Lin really wants to take care of Ah Hua, if there are any roles that have nothing to do with the police in the future, you can find him, he is always acting in some movies like that, to be honest, I still feel a little awkward." ”

This kind of thing is just a gesture for Lin Youlun, and since Ren Darong has opened his mouth, of course he will not refuse.

The discussion of the plot of the Flying Tigers is over, and the question of how to arrange the plot is not something Ren Darong needs to care about, he sent Lin Youlun to the door of the house, refused Lin Youlun's proposal to invite him in to sit, and left.

Chen Jiashang had been waiting in the living room of Lin Youlun's house for a while, and when he saw Lin Youlun coming in, he quickly put down the coffee cup and stood up.

Lin Youlun changed his shoes and motioned for Chen Jia to go upstairs with him and talk in detail in the study.

Mother Wu followed and brought two cups of brewed coffee, put it down and closed the door to leave, Lin Youlun sat down at the desk, looked at Chen Jia sitting opposite him, and said straight to the point: "I am going to make a movie reflecting the Hong Kong Flying Tigers, this film will be handed over to you to direct, do you have time recently?" ”

Chen Jiashang has not seen the news that Lin Youlun participated in the police press conference, and he was subconsciously stunned when he heard the news.

Lin Youlun continued: "This time I invited professionals from the Flying Tigers to assist in the shooting, you have studied national defense and military in the United States, there should not be too many problems in cooperation, I will provide the movie script, there is only one requirement, that is, it must be close to actual combat." ”

Chen Jiashang has dealt with professional firearms and explosives experts in "Die Hard" starring Cheng Long, and Lin Youlun's request is not particularly difficult for him. He has worked with Lin Youlun many times, and he already has a clear understanding of Lin Youlun's personality and temper, so the first question he asked: "Then who is Mr. Lin going to find to be the starring actor this time?" ”

"What do you think of Wang Minde?"

Chen Jiashang felt that this name was a little familiar, and he thought for a while before remembering this person.

"Mr. Lin said that this person played the Flying Tigers in the filming of "Flying Tigers" in Xinyi City, right?" (To be continued......)
