Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1269
"Why is it so easy to think of inviting me to drink tea, great director."

Cheng Xiaodong invited his friend He Licheng from Shangtai out for tea.

"Brother Cheng, I want to ask you for a favor with something small."

Cheng Xiaodong took the initiative to pour tea for the other party, acting very attentive.

He Licheng felt very strange, Cheng Xiaodong had always been in the film industry, why he suddenly thought of asking himself for help.

You must know that Cheng Xiaodong has never had much contact with the radio station at all. At most, he heard some things about the radio station when he was chatting with him before.

"Big director, if you have something to say, just say it, I will help you if I can help you."

He Licheng was very curious about what Cheng Xiaodong wanted him to do for him, and he would help if it was a trivial matter.

After all, he is also the person in charge of a department in the commercial station, so the power is not small.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng. It's actually like this. Didn't you recently launch a new column called "Night Talks Talking about the Ancients", in which you are talking about "An Embroidered Shoe". My old man listens to it every night. He is very fond of this novel interested."

He Licheng did not expect that Cheng Gang would be interested in "An Embroidered Shoe", but he has heard many people talk about it recently.

"Uncle doesn't want to adapt this novel into a movie?"

Cheng Xiaodong didn't expect the other party to be so smart, and he understood what he meant immediately after he had spoken halfway.

But what Cheng Xiaodong didn't expect was that He Licheng waved his hands again and again.

"Big director, I'm really sorry, I can't help you with this matter."

He Licheng refused the other party's request without even thinking about it, which made Cheng Xiaodong really puzzled.

"It shouldn't be difficult. My father just wants to meet the author. It doesn't matter if he disagrees. Could it be that we can't even meet?"

Cheng Xiaodong's question made He Licheng laugh outright.

I'm afraid what Cheng Xiaodong didn't expect was that recently, many people in the business station have been invited to meet the author of "An Embroidered Shoe", and there are even some famous directors among them.

But as far as He Licheng knows, so far, no one has seen the author of "An Embroidered Shoe".

"Adong, it's not that I won't help you. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Recently, many people have been asking about the author of "An Embroidered Shoe", and there are even several great directors in it, but so far no one has succeeded."

The more Cheng Xiaodong listened to it, the more surprised he became. If even those big directors are blocked, then the author is too good.

"And even I don't know who the author of "An Embroidered Shoe" is. It is said that only President Yu in the entire commercial station knows the identity of the author. If you really want to know, I suggest you go to President Yu for a try."

The more He Licheng talked, the more mysterious he became, but he really couldn't help. After all, even he, an insider, didn't know who "An Embroidered Shoe" was.

Although He Licheng's proposal sounds very good, Cheng Xiaodong and Yu Teng are actually not familiar with each other. Basically, they only meet each other at the award ceremony of the Golden Statue Awards, and there are actually very few opportunities for the two to meet each other.

It's really inappropriate for him to suddenly run to find Yu Teng, and Cheng Xiaodong's skin is not that thick.

Although Cheng Xiaodong couldn't find Yu Teng, it didn't mean others couldn't.

In Yu Cheng's office, two old acquaintances suddenly came to visit today and brought gifts.

"President Yu, a small meaning is not a respect."

Tsui Hark came to Yu Teng with Shi Nansheng, saying that it was to celebrate her taking over as the CEO of Shangtai.

When we were hosting the Golden Image Awards before, we had cooperated many times, so speaking of it, we are all old acquaintances.

"What kind of medicine are you two selling in the gourd today? It has been almost ten days since I took office. Are you too dull?"

Yu Cheng joked with a smile that she probably guessed why Tsui Hark brought Shi Nansheng to find her.

After all, in the past few days, many people have come to talk to me about that matter, but Yu Teng blocked everyone.

""An Embroidered Shoe", I want to meet the author and have a chat with him."

Tsui Hark didn't hide it at all in front of Yu Cheng. After all, everyone is old acquaintances, and if they are too polite, they will be alienated.

When Yu Cheng heard it, it was exactly as she expected, but it was a pity that her answer this time was still the same as before.

"Sorry, I can't help you with this matter."

Without even thinking about it, Yu Cheng shook his head and rejected Tsui Hark's request.

Both Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng felt very strange. In their impression, Yu Teng was not such a difficult person to speak.

Even if he wanted to refuse, he would not be so direct. Those who didn't know would think that Yu Teng had some bad views on them.

"Don't look at me like that. In the past few days, many people have come to me because they want to meet the author of "An Embroidered Shoe" just like you, but I can tell you that I can't help you."

Before that, Lin Daoqiu had warned Yu Teng not to reveal his identity, no matter who it was.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has already said this, Yu Cheng naturally dare not take his words on deaf ears.

Even though many relatives and friends, even big directors and screenwriters in the film industry came to him recently, Yu Teng blocked them all.

Although it seemed a bit offending for her to do so, Yu Cheng didn't think there was anything serious about it.

As long as the answer to this mystery is revealed at that time, everyone will not dare to blame her. After all, there is nothing to be afraid of with Lin Daoqiu covering her.

"Old Yu, I just want to have a chat with this author. I don't have any other ideas. Can you just ask me?"

Tsui Hark was very interested in "An Embroidered Shoe", and he wanted to adapt this play into a movie, because he thought this story was very suitable for making a movie.

But it was a pity that Yu Teng's answer was the same as before, and she still firmly rejected Tsui Hark's request.

"Old Xu, it's not that I won't help you. It's that I can't help you. It can be said that no matter who comes to me, it's useless, so please give up this idea."

Yu Teng's words made Tsui Hark feel very desperate. He really couldn't understand why Yu Teng concealed the other party's identity like this, and who was the author who could make Yu Teng do this.

But Shi Nansheng, who was sitting on the side, seemed to have noticed something when she was listening to the conversation between Tsui Hark and Yu Teng, but she couldn't be sure that things were really as she had guessed.

"Old Xu, since Lao Yu has said so, then don't force people to do impossible things, let's go back."

Shi Nansheng suddenly said that he wanted to go back, which made Tsui Hark feel very strange, because Shi Nansheng was not like this usually.

But based on his understanding of Shi Nansheng, Tsui Hark thought about it and agreed.

Because from Shi Nansheng's eyes, Tsui Hark saw that she seemed to have something to say to him.
