Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1154 A Different Script
"What's the matter? Does Mr. Huang doubt what I said?"

Guan Zhilin pretended not to be very happy.

Huang Baiming quickly shook his head, he didn't dare to offend this aunt, but he didn't dare to nod easily.

"Miss Guan, the script is still in the writing stage. Regarding the heroine of this play, I think it will take some time to be finalized."

Huang Baiming didn't dare to say no directly, he wanted to delay for a while, and then call Lin Daoqiu to ask what he meant.

If Lin Daoqiu really decides to play Rosamund Kwan as the heroine, then there must be no problem.

But if this is not what Lin Daoqiu meant, I believe Huang Baiming would not easily nod this way.

"What's so hard about it? I can play any role, whether it's playing ugly or looking good, what worries does Mr. Huang have?"

Rosamund Kwan had acted in "The Dumb Girl Ah Fang" before, and her performance in it has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

Huang Baiming also knew about this, and he had also watched the movie "The Dumb Girl Ah Fang".

But the problem now is that there is still a big difference in the performance of TV dramas and movies. The performance styles of the big screen and the small screen are not the same.

"Of course I don't question Ms. Guan's acting skills, but I think we have to wait for the script to come out before we discuss this matter. What does Ms. Guan think?"

Guan Zhilin was anxious to get Huang Baiming to settle the matter, but Huang Baiming wanted to delay first, so the two sides froze like this.

In the end, Guan Zhilin also failed to get the result she wanted, but she did not dare to lose her temper in front of Huang Baiming.

"If that's the case, then when the script is finished, Mr. Huang, please notify me as soon as possible."

Huang Baiming repeatedly nodded in agreement.

"Miss Guan, don't worry, I will notify you as soon as the script is finished."

After finishing speaking, Huang Baiming sent Guan Zhilin out of his office.

After sending the other party into the elevator, Huang Baiming heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted Huang Baiming on the shoulder, causing him to jump out of fear.

After seeing clearly that it was Wang Jing, Huang Baiming immediately rolled his eyes at him.

"Push the street, do you know that people who scare people can scare people to death?"

Wang Jing smiled.

"Miss Guan is hard to deal with."

Wang Jing and the others already knew about Guan Zhilin's visit to Huang Baiming just now.

Seeing Wang Jing's expression of eagerness for knowledge, Huang Baiming simply shook his head and walked inside. He knew that Wang Jing must have come to ask him for news.

After all, with the relationship between Guan Zhilin and Lin Daoqiu, she didn't have to come to the door to ask for a role at all, but she still came, which made Wang Jing and the others very curious.

"Hey, don't leave in a hurry, what can Miss Guan come to see you for?"

Wang Jing followed Huang Baiming all the way into his office.

After the other party sat down, Wang Jing poured a glass of water for the other party with a smile, and put it in front of Huang Baiming.

"It stands to reason that as Ms. Guan, she shouldn't come to us to ask for a role, right? If she wants to take part in the role, tell that person, and she can arrange it for her casually?"

Huang Baiming sneered.

"It would be fine if Miss Guan just came to ask for a role."

Wang Jing was not stupid, he had already heard from Huang Baiming's words that what Guan Zhilin came to him was not just ordinary things.

"Could it be that she wants a heroine?"

Wang Jing thought about it for a while, and immediately figured it out. After all, Huang Baiming was so distressed. Apart from Rosamund Kwan wanting to play the heroine, there was no other possibility.

Huang Baiming looked at Wang Jing in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to guess Guan Zhilin's intention so quickly.

"No wonder you have such a sad face. If it were me, I'm afraid I would be like you. Fortunately, this time Mr. Lin entrusted you with the responsibility of the screenwriting team."

Wang Jing is glad that he is not in charge of the screenwriting team, otherwise, he would be the one who is worrying now.

Because no matter whether he agrees or rejects Guan Zhilin, it will not benefit him at all, so it is better to leave this hot potato to Huang Baiming.

"Get out, get out, I still have things to do, I don't have time to talk to you."

Huang Baiming waved his hand and asked Wang Jing to go out quickly. He was in a hurry to call Lin Daoqiu and ask him about his attitude towards this matter.

Wang Jing knew that Huang Baiming was upset now, so he shrugged and left the office directly.

After Wang Jing left, Huang Baiming picked up the landline and called Lin Daoqiu directly, and the call was connected soon.

"Mr. Lin, I'm Huang Baiming, and I want to ask you about something..."

Huang Baiming told Lin Daoqiu about Guan Zhilin's visit to him today.

After listening to Huang Baiming, Lin Daoqiu thought for a while, and then replied.

"The heroine of this play is very important. Since you are in charge of the script, then the role is up to you to decide. My request is very simple. Both the leading role and the supporting role must be chosen who are really suitable. I don't care whoever speaks. If you can't stop it, push it to my side."

Lin Daoqiu's words were very clear, and did not leave any room for Huang Baiming to ponder.

So after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Huang Baiming could finally relax completely.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, after what you said, I don't have to worry about what to do."

Originally, Huang Baiming felt that he should not be able to intervene in the casting of this drama, and everything would be decided by Lin Daoqiu.

But now that Lin Daoqiu has handed over the casting rights to him, Huang Baiming no longer has any worries, and with Lin Daoqiu as his backer, he has nothing to worry about, just let it go.

A week later, the first version of the script of "72 Tenants", jointly adapted by several famous screenwriters in Xiangjiang, was officially released.

Because Lin Daoqiu has already explained before that this is a comedy, so naturally the plot of the previous two versions cannot be copied.

It is precisely because of this that this group of screenwriters brainstormed and came up with a wonderful script.

On the second day after the script was written, Huang Baiming came to Lin Daoqiu's office with Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui with the written script.

"Mr. Lin, this is the first version of the script of "72 Tenants", please read it."

Huang Baiming respectfully handed over the script to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu nodded first, then took Huang Baiming's script, and opened it directly to read.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that they should make adaptations based on the previous two editions of "72 Tenants".

But what I didn't expect was that they didn't play their cards according to common sense and wrote a script that was a little different from their own imagination.
