Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1295
"It's a pity, what a pity."

After meeting with Jet Li, Tsui Hark kept shaking his head.

It's not that he thinks Jet Li is bad, the other party is extremely good not only in appearance but also in skill.

But it's a pity that Jet Li is only in his early twenties at this time, he is really too young. If a few more years pass, Tsui Hark can be said to be impeccable towards him.

"The face can be changed through makeup. Judging from his aptitude, Jiahe really picked up a treasure this time."

Even Shi Nansheng can see that Jet Li has a bright future.

"It would be great if he wasn't an actor of Golden Harvest."

In fact, what makes Tsui Hark feel helpless the most is that Jet Li has become a member of Golden Harvest.

If he is a free agent, then Tsui Hark will definitely list him as Linghu Chong's top candidate.

While Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng were chatting, He Guanchang had already walked towards them.

"I don't know how the conversation between Director Xu and Ajie is going?"

Although He Guanchang didn't know what they talked about, he could still tell through observation that Tsui Hark was very satisfied with Jet Li.

"I chatted with Mr. Li about movies. Mr. Li is indeed very good. Congratulations to Golden Harvest for adding another great player."

Tsui Hark sincerely congratulated Jiahe, and He Guanchang was naturally very happy.

"Since Director Xu has already met Ajie, what does Director Xu think of Ajie?"

Tsui Hark didn't understand what He Guanchang meant. He remembered that he had already expressed his opinion to the other party just now.

Seeing Tsui Hark's puzzled expression, He Guanchang explained with a smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, the leading actor in Director Xu's movie has not been decided yet, right?"

He Guanchang was just guessing, if he really decided on someone, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng would not talk about those things with him.

Tsui Hark didn't expect that He Guanchang could guess these things, but he was not stupefied, even if he was guessed by the other party, Tsui Hark would have something to prevaricate.

"Mr. He is right. This drama is still in preparation, and I'm still considering the lead actor."

When He Guanchang heard it, he guessed correctly.

He smiled first, then turned his gaze to Jet Li.

"I don't know what Director Xu thinks of Ajie?"

He Guanchang's question was very straightforward, but this time Tsui Hark understood the meaning of He Guanchang's sentence.

But Jet Li is from Golden Harvest, no matter how much Tsui Hark likes him, it is impossible to find Jet Li to play Linghu Chong.

"Mr. Li is indeed excellent, and he will definitely shine in Xiangjiang in the future."

Tsui Hark could only pretend that he didn't understand what He Guanchang was asking, and he said something perfunctory.

"I just saw Director Xu and Ajie having a very happy conversation. It would be great if the two could cooperate."

Regarding what He Guanchang said, Tsui Hark just smiled and nodded.

He can't say that I am from New Oriental, how could he find an actor from Golden Harvest to act in such a way.

"I know what Director Xu is worried about. It's nothing more than the bad relationship between Golden Harvest and New Oriental, so even if Director Xu wants to find Ajie, I'm afraid Mr. Lin will not be able to pass that test."

He Guanchang knew exactly what Tsui Hark was worried about, and he made it clear directly.

Now that He Guanchang knew, Tsui Hark didn't have to hide it in front of the other party.

"I remember that Mr. Lin recently set up a Xiangjiang Performing Arts Association? He said that he wanted to let the entertainment circles in Xiangjiang communicate with each other, but most people think that Mr. Lin is just talking."

He Guanchang suddenly changed the topic to the Performing Arts Association, which made Tsui Hark feel that the other party seemed to have something behind the strings.

"However, I believe what Mr. Lin said is true. If Director Xu asked Ajie to act this time, wouldn't it be able to help Mr. Lin prove that the Performing Arts Association he established really wants to let the entertainment circle communicate with each other? It’s not just casual talk.”

Tsui Hark didn't expect that He Guanchang would think of using the performing arts association to block Lin Daoqiu's mouth.

If Lin Daoqiu agrees, it will be a good thing for Golden Harvest, although the movie will be a hit by then, and they will not be able to get the box office revenue.

But Jet Li can make a name for himself in Xiangjiang through this cooperation. It can be said that He Guanchang's calculations are very strong.

But if Lin Daoqiu refuses, it will be a big blow to his reputation.

Even though everyone knows that Golden Harvest and New Oriental will not deal with it, many people only look at the result and don't consider other aspects.

Golden Harvest wanted zero investment and asked New Oriental to help make Jet Li popular. Let alone Lin Daoqiu, it was impossible for him to agree to such a thing.

"With Mr. Lin's reputation in Xiangjiang, I believe such a thing will never happen."

Tsui Hark would not fall into the trap set by He Guanchang.

If I go to Lin Daoqiu to talk about these things, no matter what happens in the end, I will become the culprit.

He Guanchang and Jiahe didn't get involved in anything, and enjoyed the benefits there, but he became their scapegoat, Tsui Hark was not that stupid.

"If Director Xu has any concerns, I can talk to Mr. Lin, and it will never involve you."

Although He Guanchang said so, if he went to talk to Lin Daoqiu, then Lin Daoqiu would definitely know that he had leaked this matter to He Guanchang, and he would be the one who was unlucky at that time.

"Mr. He, let me think about it for a while. Ajie is indeed very good, but he is too young and doesn't fit the image of the leading actor in my play."

Tsui Hark has no good solution now, he can only hold back He Guanchang temporarily.

If no more suitable candidate than Jet Li can be found in the end, Tsui Hark may consider those proposals from He Guanchang.

"Since this is the case, then I can't force Director Xu. We are all friends, and we should help each other if we have difficulties."

He Guanchang also didn't want to push Tsui Hark too fast, after all, the other party is also a director with a bright future, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

If he is pushed into a corner now, Tsui Hark will only make Tsui Hark hate himself and Jiahe, which will definitely not be of any benefit to them.
