Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1407 Mixed (I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day!)
"In this case, I can take advantage of this time tomorrow to go out for a stroll."

Naturally, Jess would not go to see Lin Daoqiu with Saenz, unless he was crazy.

Saenz didn't intend to have Jess accompany him, after all, the other party was just his manager, not his personal nanny.

So when Jess finished speaking, Saenz didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he nodded immediately.

"This is the first time I have come to Xiangjiang. If I have time, I would like to go shopping, but now I have to deal with the character's affairs first."

"That's a real pity."

Jess smiled, and his nervousness was somewhat relieved.

After leaving Saenz's room, Jess returned to his room.

When he closed the door of the room, Saenz frowned unconsciously.

If possible, Jess really doesn't want any factors related to Lin Daoqiu to be involved in the play "The Green Hornet".

But he had just become Saenz's manager not long ago, so he didn't know much about Saenz's temperament, and he didn't know how to persuade him not to take Lin Daoqiu's suggestion.

The next day, because of the time difference, Saenz slept until twelve o'clock before getting up, washed up and had lunch before heading to New Oriental to meet Lin Daoqiu.

After breaking up with Saenz in the restaurant, Jess planned to go back to his room and continue to sleep.

Turning around, what he said to Saenz about going out for a stroll was actually just an excuse. He has never been interested in things like shopping.

But just as Jess was walking out and was about to return to his room, several people suddenly blocked him.

"Mr. Jess, hello, my name is He Guanchang, a representative of Golden Harvest Film Company, and this is my business card."

Jess didn't know He Guanchang, but he had heard of Xiangjiang's Golden Harvest Film Company.

After taking a look at the other party's business card, Jess asked suspiciously.

"Is there anything Mr. He wants from me?"

He Guanchang replied with a smile.

"There's something I want to talk to Mr. Jess about. If it's convenient, how about having afternoon tea together?"

Although he didn't know what the other party was going to talk to him about, Jess didn't immediately refuse, after all, he was only sleeping when he went back to his room, so he nodded and agreed to He Guanchang's invitation.

The place to drink tea was on the second floor of the hotel where Jess lived. After the two of them sat down, He Guanchang offered to pour tea for Jess.

He Guanchang has already learned that the protagonist of "The Green Hornet" will go to Xiangjiang to cast a role, and Jess is Saenz's manager.

Before convincing Saenz, He Guanchang felt that if Jess could do a good job and let him support Jiahe, he believed that the chances of winning this time should not be small.

"I learned from my friend that Universal is planning to remake "The Green Hornet" this time, and the director has already been decided to be Mr. Saenz."

As soon as Jess picked up the cup, he heard He Guanchang's words.

He immediately realized that the other party came to him, probably because of the play "The Green Hornet".

After all, before this, Saenz was just an unknown director in Hollywood. Apart from "The Green Hornet", Jess really couldn't think of any other reasons why He Guanchang came to him.

"Mr. He's news is really well-informed, but it's a pity that Saenz has already gone to see Mr. Lin. I guess he will adopt the actor recommended by Mr. Lin for this play."

Jess thought about it all night and couldn't think of a solution. All he could do was to avoid Lin Daoqiu as much as possible, and not let him know that he was Saenz's manager.

"If director Saenz adopts the role recommended by Mr. Lin, not only will we feel sad, but I believe Mr. Jess will also feel very sad."

If He Guanchang was not sure, he would not have come to see Jess.

He has found some previous information about Jess. Although it is not very detailed, He Guanchang still knows that he accompanied Tom Cruise to Xiangjiang to meet Lin Daoqiu.

Although I don't know what happened, but since then, Jess was fired by Tom Cruise, and then became Saenz's agent.

"Is Mr. He thinking too much? I'm just a manager. As for who will play the role of "The Green Hornet", it has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Although Jess said this, his hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. It seemed that this was due to the fluctuating relationship in his heart.

"Mr. Jess, in fact, Golden Harvest has many excellent actors. Bruce Lee used to be an actor under our company."

Jess knew very little about Golden Harvest, but Bruce Lee's name was well known to him.

In addition, Bruce Lee had participated in the TV series version of "The Green Hornet" before, so it is almost impossible for Jess not to know Bruce Lee.

"I don't know what Mr. He wants me to do for you when he invites me to have this tea."

"It's very simple. Golden Harvest also intends to compete for the role of Kato in "The Green Hornet" this time. I hope that Mr. Jess can help us run it. After the matter is completed, I will pay the necessary hard work."

After He Guanchang finished speaking, he took out a thick paper bag from his bag, and pushed it in front of Jess.

When Jess picked up the paper bag, he realized that it was very heavy.

After he opened the paper bag and took a closer look, Jess' eyes were instantly attracted by the contents inside.

He closed the paper bag and put it aside. Compared with before, the expression on Jess's face looked much happier than before.

"Don't worry, Mr. He, since Golden Harvest was Bruce Lee's company before, and I admire Bruce Lee very much, so this time I will definitely do my best to help Golden Harvest get this role."

It really doesn't matter whether Jess admires Bruce Lee or not.

If Golden Harvest could get the role of Kato, not only would he not have to face Lin Daoqiu, but he would also have a good income. No matter what Jess thought, he would choose to cooperate with Golden Harvest.

He Guanchang liked Jess, a smart guy, he could understand what he meant without saying too much.

Although some money was spent to open up the relationship, it was not a big deal to He Guanchang.

For tens of thousands of dollars, if Jet Li can be exchanged for the role of "The Green Hornet", this can be said to be a huge profit for Golden Harvest.

"Mr. Jess is willing to help. I am really grateful. If there is any need for assistance or any emergency, please let me know as soon as possible."

What He Guanchang hopes is that he can know all the progress of the casting of "The Green Hornet" in Xiangjiang, so as to help them improve their success rate in winning this role.
