Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1381 More care
Because Lin Daoqiu had to go to Dongshi early, the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten very early, starting at four o'clock in the afternoon.

All the dishes were prepared by Wang Zuxian's parents and servants, and they looked very rich, including fish and meat.

For Lin Daoqiu, Wang Zuxian's parents are naturally very grateful to him, but they just treat him as Wang Zuxian's boss.

During the dinner, Wang Zuxian didn't say much, her parents were chatting with Lin Daoqiu, and they were talking about trivial matters.

Brigitte Lin occasionally joined the discussion, and most of the chats were related to Baodao.

After eating, Wang Zuxian said goodbye to her parents.

"The Migrant Emperor" will have its premiere at the Haiyun Theater tonight, so naturally her heroine will also be there.

Originally, she hoped that Lin Daoqiu could attend the premiere of "The Working Emperor", but the other party still had a job, so Wang Zuxian had to bury this idea in her heart.

"Xiaoxian is an actress with great potential, you should take care of her more in the future."

As a fellow of Baodao and a potential actress, Brigitte Lin naturally hopes that she can develop better in Xiangjiang.

Lin Daoqiu, who was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea, just smiled slightly after hearing Lin Qingxia's words.

"Xiaoxian is indeed an actor with great potential, but she still needs more training before that."

Lin Daoqiu did not deny what Lin Qingxia said, but he would not deliberately mention Wang Zuxian's matter in front of Lin Qingxia.

"Tonight is the premiere of "The Working Emperor". When I chatted with her just now, I found that she attaches great importance to this drama."

Before Lin Daoqiu came, when Lin Qingxia was chatting with Wang Zuxian, she found that she seemed to be very concerned about the premiere of "The Working Emperor" tonight.

After all, this movie is the first movie she joined New Oriental as the heroine, so Wang Zuxian naturally hopes to get a good result.

"This year's Spring Festival file, I think "Dareless Warrior" should be the biggest winner, and "Working Emperor" should compete with "Shaolin Boxer" for No.2."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu is not optimistic about "The Working Emperor", but because the lineup and genre of "Dare to Fight" is far more popular than "The Working Emperor".

Just the lineup of Sammo Hung plus Yuen Biao is more gimmick than Xu Guanjie plus Joey Wong.

As for "Shaolin Boxer", the combination of Jet Li and Liu Jiaban, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't judge what kind of result he would get in the end.

If Golden Harvest's film was filmed according to the style five years ago, it would be difficult to perform well at the box office by then.

"I really don't understand. During such a big time during the Spring Festival, why did you arrange for "The Migrant Emperor" to fight "Dare to Fight"? Isn't it obvious that you want them to be cannon fodder?"

Brigitte Lin expressed her dissatisfaction with Lin Daoqiu's arrangement. She felt that if "The Migrant Emperor" was placed in normal times and did not encounter any strong film snipers, the box office results would definitely be better.

"I'm too busy with so many things this year, and if I'm aiming at the Spring Festival, I have to prepare a year in advance. I can only say that Di Bao took a big advantage this year."

In fact, in the final analysis, Lin Daoqiu no longer attaches as much importance to the Spring Festival stalls as before.

If not, as early as last year, Lin Daoqiu might have already booked a movie to be released during the Spring Festival this year.

"Then next year's Spring Festival, you plan to make temporary arrangements like this?"

Brigitte Lin tilted her head and looked at Lin Daoqiu and asked.

"Of course it's impossible. Mai Jia has already told me that she plans to make a sequel to "Best Partner". Therefore, if there are no accidents during the Spring Festival next year, "Best Partner" should appear."

In addition to "Best Partner", Lin Daoqiu also plans to do one more movie next year, but as for what to shoot, he hasn't made up his mind yet.

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's arrangement, Brigitte Lin didn't raise any further opinions. She just complained about Wang Zuxian's grievances, and she didn't want to interfere in New Oriental's affairs.

And for Brigitte Lin, as long as she can concentrate on acting well, she won't take care of other things, and she doesn't bother to take care of them.

After being by Lin Daoqiu's side for so many years, she was more or less infected with Lin Daoqiu's lazy temper, which Lin Daoqiu didn't realize.

Looking at the time, Lin Daoqiu was about to leave for Dongshi to participate in the live broadcast of the lively New Year's Gala.

Brigitte Lin knew that he still had a job, so she didn't chat with Lin Daoqiu any more.

…………

There is still an hour before the start of the lively New Year's Gala. Before the start, a lot of tables have been set up in Dongshi.

Lin Daoqiu knew that everyone would not be able to go back to celebrate the New Year because they were going to record the show, so he specially invited the master from the hotel to come over and make wine and food for everyone, so that they could go on stage when they were full.

However, it is stipulated that everyone cannot drink alcohol. After all, they will perform on stage later. If they look drunk, they will definitely make a fool of themselves.

"It's a pity that I can't drink alcohol today, otherwise I really want to drink to my heart's content."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui did not go back to celebrate the New Year today, but went to Dongshi to have a New Year's Eve dinner. After all, they are members of the screenwriting department, and they will stay at Dongshi tonight.

"Why hasn't Brother Qiu arrived yet? The live broadcast is about to start."

Zheng Danrui searched around but couldn't find where Lin Daoqiu was. It seemed that the other party hadn't arrived at the scene yet.

"Brother Qiu is going to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Ms. Lin today, I guess he should be on his way now."

Wen Jun had already learned from Fang Jinsheng that Lin Daoqiu was going to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Lin Qingxia today, so he would come over later.

But in fact, it doesn't matter if he comes a little later, after all, Lin Daoqiu will not perform on stage, at most he will give a speech and say some auspicious words.

Just when Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were chatting about Lin Daoqiu, he happened to have entered the gate of Dongshi.

Hearing the news that Lin Daoqiu had arrived, Huang Xizhao immediately took people to greet him.

"Don't be so cautious, today is the New Year's Eve, everyone can't go back to celebrate the New Year, so we have to stay here to record the show, I'm really sorry."

Lin Daoqiu apologized to everyone as soon as he showed up. After all, he couldn't go home for the reunion dinner, which is really unreasonable.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Huang Xizhao quickly shook his hands.

"Mr. Lin, please don't say that. Everyone is very happy to be able to stay here to record the program. After all, this year is the first year of East TV. Everyone hopes to make some achievements."

After Huang Xizhao finished speaking, the people around immediately echoed.

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that everyone would say this because of his presence, but since this is already the case, it is not good for him to continue nagging.

"Since this is the case, then we will continue to work hard tonight, completely smash TVB's ratings, and then go back to celebrate the new year."
