Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1411
For several days in a row, a large number of young people came to sign up for the "Green Hornet" audition.

Most of them have no acting experience, and some have even never learned Kung Fu, but they think they meet the age and height requirements, so they dare to sign up.

Assuming that once the screen is selected by then, they think that they have a great chance to become a Hollywood star.

As the protagonist of this audition, Saenz has been busy accepting interviews from media reporters during this time.

Saenz is more concerned about whether his interview will be published on the front page of the newspaper than about the audition.

After all, when he was filming in Hollywood, almost no mainstream media would interview him.

Even if there are reporters who are willing to interview, they are only unknown small newspapers with very few readers.

But it's different now, and now he has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Although the filming of "The Green Hornet" has not yet started, Hong Kong's reporters have already crowned Saenz with the title of a great Hollywood director.

"Reporters, today let's talk about the few movies I made before, those buried movies."

Saenz enjoyed being surrounded by reporters, and Jess was happy to see Saenz do more interviews.

Anyway, the audition was handled by Golden Harvest, and Jess didn't need to worry about it at all, after all, it was what they had agreed upon.

As long as Jess disturbs the candidate recommended by Lin Daoqiu, He Guanchang will take care of the rest.

Jess likes to cooperate with capable people like He Guanchang very much, because the other party's ability is too strong, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

For seven days in a row, the audition recruitment activities were extremely hot, and more than 2000 young people had signed up.

However, many of them will be eliminated, and the remaining part that meets the requirements, 30 people will be good.

…………

In a certain tea restaurant in Xiangjiang, He Guanchang looked at Jess with a red face opposite him, and was really envious.

You must know that in the past few days, He Guanchang led a large group of people to help deal with the registration matter.

Jess didn't help at all, he dragged Saenz to be interviewed by reporters all day long.

Although He Guanchang was very dissatisfied with this, but now he still needed Jess' help, so he could only hold back the attack, and still had this faint smile on his face.

"Mr. He, you've worked hard these past few days. I don't know how the audition is going."

Originally, this should be something that Jess must understand and control at all times, but judging from the meaning of his words, it seems that he doesn't seem to know anything about this activity.

"It's rare that Mr. Jess still knows about the audition. I thought you had forgotten all about it."

He Guanchang expressed his dissatisfaction to Jess in a small way. After all, as the director, Saenz only attended the event once, and was not present for the rest of the time.

If it wasn't for asking Jess, He Guanchang's face would definitely be very ugly now.

"Sorry, I've been busy arranging and accepting interviews these days, and by the way, promoting the event. The director and I are so busy every day that we don't have any extra energy to do other things."

He Guanchang's ears felt very harsh by Jess's words. He was busy arranging interviews and accepting interviews. What kind of business is this? Those who didn't know thought Saenz was an actor.

"The recruitment campaign is about to end. This time, there are about 2000 people who signed up. After removing some unqualified candidates, there will be about [-] left."

Although He Guanchang hoped very much, Saenz simply didn't care about anything, and finally asked them to settle Jet Li, and everything would be fine.

But come to think of it, Saenz wouldn't be stupid enough to hand over all the audition work to them, unless he didn't have The Green Hornet on his mind from the start.

"200 people? So many?"

Jess didn't expect that there would be 200 people left after screening. If they tried one by one, it would take a few days to finish the audition.

There was an unknown fire in He Guanchang's stomach, this guy Jess didn't do any shit, and he still thought there were too many people here.

Seeing the sudden change of He Guanchang's expression, Jess immediately felt that what he said just now seemed inappropriate.

"In fact, what I mean is that so many outstanding young people can be selected, I believe the director will be very happy."

"I don't know what Mr. Jess plans to do with the remaining people?"

He Guanchang was too lazy to argue with the other party, he wanted to let Jess know who should play the role of Kato.

Jess replied with a straight face.

"Next, the director will officially open the audition, and then choose the actor he thinks will best play Kato."

Jess's answer obviously couldn't satisfy He Guanchang. If he did so many things and ended up making wedding dresses for others, then He Guanchang would be too stupid.

"Mr. Jess, we have a saying here called reciprocity, you can't just accept the gift and not return the gift, do you understand what I mean?"

He Guanchang said this sentence in a low voice, but Jess could hear it clearly.

Originally, he agreed to cooperate with He Guanchang because he was worried that Saenz would accept the candidate recommended by Lin Daoqiu.

But now the people recommended by Lin Daoqiu have been rejected by Saenz, and he doesn't need to worry about those things now.

"Please rest assured, Mr. He, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will definitely do my best to help Mr. He."

Such words were what He Guanchang wanted to hear, and when Jess finished speaking, the smile returned to He Guanchang's face.

"Golden Harvest has two actors who also participated in the audition this time. One is named Jet Li and the other is named Li Yuanba. I hope that Jet Li can successfully take the role of Kato in the end."

He Guanchang spoke out his thoughts unabashedly, which shocked Jess.

He is just a manager and not a director, how could He Guanchang think that he can decide who will be selected in the end.

"Things have come to this point, and there is no turning back. Mr. Jess's work efficiency was very good before. This is a reward for you."

He Guanchang took out a paper bag again, and pushed it in front of Jess.

This time, Jess didn't even need to look at it to know that it must be filled with US dollars.

"If there is anything that needs my help, just ask. Once this matter is settled, I will give you a generous gift."

He Guanchang will not give Jess a chance to refuse, after all he has done so many things for the other party, just in exchange for Jet Li taking the role of Kato.

If Jess refused his request at this time, He Guanchang would probably be very, very angry.
