Who is Lin Zhengying?

The big boss of Hong Kong zombie films and "Uncle Nine" is well-known. Now, if you want to defeat the "Zombie Taoist Master" starring him in the ratings, it is simply an impossible task to Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

But now Song Zhichao actually said that the script he wrote could KO "Zombie Taoist Master", which made Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi full of curiosity about the content of the script.

What kind of drama is it that makes Song Zhichao so crazy?

Driven by curiosity, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but look at the script that Jin Jiu was holding.

Jin Jiu is an amateur in scripts. Seeing that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are so concerned about this, he simply handed the script to them - you can read it slowly, and tell me if you see the result.

Andy Lau and Stephen Chow were not polite either. After taking the script, they carefully looked it out.

As big stars, they are experts in identifying the quality of scripts. In many cases, they only need to scan a few times and look at the plots and lines written in them to know that they are so good.

After a few glances, the first thing is intuitive - very unprofessional!

Nonsense, Song Zhichao is not a specialist script, so of course he is not professional, so he can only be said to be of medium amateur level.

Look at the lines inside again - they also need to be polished.

Liu Dehua frowned.

Zhou Xingchi swallowed.

I can't stand it anymore.

But the problem is-

This time the script was written by their big boss Song Zhichao. In order to show "respect" of Brother Chao and "trust" of the boss, even if Andy Lau and Stephen Chow couldn't bear to watch it, they had to take a deep breath, bite the bullet and continue to read it patiently.

This time, we mainly look at the character settings, as well as the plot and plot.

"Kuang Tianyou was originally a guerrilla. After being bitten by the zombie king in an operation, he transformed into a 20th century Hong Kong policeman..."

Liu Dehua: "..."

Zhou Xingchi: “…”

The more they look at them, the more they become fascinated, and the more they look at them, the more they feel the more they taste.

If they have to use one word to evaluate the concept of this script, it is - it is fantastic and incredible!

...

Yes, the script that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are watching at this moment is the classic drama in which ATV TV defeated TVB and dominated the ratings and became the king of ATV - "I Have a Date with a Zombie"!

Song Zhichao personally wrote this TV script "created" by his pen, and he also took the "zombie theme" route.

But his route is different from traditional zombie movies in Hong Kong.

In traditional Hong Kong zombie films, the Qing Dynasty zombies are usually jumping around, or they either set their time in the Republic of China. Uncle Ninth, Lin Zhengying, and his gang of apprentices to drive away demons.

The popular "Zombie Taoist Master" that TVB recently filmed continues this traditional route of Lin Zhengying.

However, the "Uncle Jiu" in the movie has become the "Mao Xiaofang" in the TV. The era was still chosen in the Republic of China. There were still two apprentices around him, and the ones who were conquered were the zombies with green faces and fangs wearing Qing Dynasty costumes. Overall, there was no innovation, and it was similar to the plot of the movie.

The reason why Hong Kong audiences bought it is because the male pig's feet are Lin Zhengying, who is also a genuine ghost catching master. Everyone likes him very much and has a strong nostalgia.

The second is that there are very few zombie-themed TV series in Hong Kong. I am used to watching wealthy families and workplace fights. I suddenly see zombies that can only be seen on the big screen jumping on TV. This is a great innovation in the entire Hong Kong TV circle.

The scripts that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi read in front of him are different from "The Zombie Taoist Master" - to be precise, there is a big difference.

First of all, the timeline is set in today's Hong Kong, and the sense of substitution will be strong. Secondly, zombies and people coexist, and they also become Hong Kong policemen, which is a brain-opener. Finally, the story character setting is too bizarre and tests people's imagination. Even Ni Kuang, the Hong Kong master who is the most "bragging" of the same era, probably cannot write such a bizarre story.

...

I don't know how long it took-

Niu Xiong who passed the message has gone out.

Jin Jiu was sitting on the boss's chair drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette, and looking at Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

There were already three cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Jin Jiu. He had already drunk three cups of coffee. It was too bitter and his stomach began to protest.

Finally, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Dehua even put the script of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" on the coffee table. The two of them leaned on the sofa as if they had finished a fierce exercise.

Jin Jiu couldn't help asking them, "How is it?"

Liu Dehua first spoke, "The script is very good, I like it very much."

Zhou Xingchi said: "Yes, a rare script - especially the emotional scenes in it, are as exciting as "American Journey" starring me. It can be expected that if this drama is filmed successfully, then the love between Kuang Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling will definitely be recorded in history!"

"It's a pity," Liu Dexiao wanted to speak, "It's a pity that there is only one male pig's feet in this drama. Xingzai and I both like "Kuang Tianyou" very much, and are willing to put down our posture to act. The problem is that we feel that both of us are not suitable."

"You are very suitable. Kuang Tianyou is handsome and cool--I can't do it anymore. No one has ever said I am handsome." Zhou Xingchi smiled at Liu Dehua.

Liu Dehua shook his head: "I can't play a zombie, movie fans will definitely object."

Liu Dehua didn't say it casually, many big stars in this era can't help themselves.

For example, when Brother Cheng Long was filming, first, he had to be the male lead; second, he could not die; third, he could not have kissing scenes or bed scenes.

This is not an exaggeration. When Cheng Long and Lin Fengjiao were rumored to have a relationship, a 15-year-old Japanese female movie fans committed suicide. And this is not a separate example, but many times. The kind Cheng Long was very sad about this. He once said to his agent Chen Ziqiang with sadness: "If many people are hurt because of me, or even lose their precious lives, then I would rather choose to live up to one or two people."

Cheng Long could not stop the tragedy from happening, and could only use his own sacrifice to reduce his guilt. In fact, what is his fault? It would be better to say that it is the negative effect brought about by his too much charm.

The same is true for Liu Dehua today.

As the most popular "Four Heavenly Kings" in Hong Kong, Liu Dehua has always created an image with a handsome face. If he becomes a "zombie", let alone whether this drama can become popular, his fans and fans will definitely oppose it as soon as possible.

This is not just a joke. When Liu Dehua intentionally took on a vampire film called "A House of Pretty Teeth Ghost", he gave up because of the opposition of fans.

It can be said that Liu Dehua's halo of "the king's idol" is both a kind of honor and a kind of constraint for him.

King Andy Lau cannot play the role of a "big traitor and evil". At most, he can play the role of a gangster in "The Heaven If Love". Even if he plays a gangster, he still has "human nature". He wants to "turn to justice", so it is probably difficult to let him play a zombie.

Zhou Xingchi is different. He has acted in "A Chinese Odyssey" and played the role of Sun Wukong with a sharp mouth and fangs. He has no high requirements for his own image and mainly takes the acting route. However, Stephen Chow plays "Kuang Tianyou", and is a little cooler. There is no way, and everyone wants to laugh when they see him.

Stephen Chow's acting route has been fixed, which is "nonsense". If he asked him to play "Kuang Tianyou", I'm afraid the whole drama will become a nonsensical version of "I Have a Date with a Zombie".

...

Just when the two were in a dilemma—

At this time, the office door was suddenly pushed open again, and Niu Xiong, who had just left, returned.

Niu Xiong touched his head, looked at Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, and said, "Oh, I forgot to explain something just now - Brother Chao said that you are not the starring actors in this TV series, just cameo!"

Liu Dehua: "..."

Zhou Xingchi: “…”

Collectively confused.

After a long time, they were not male pig's feet at all, so they argued for a long time.
