Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1413 Make an exception for you
Walking out of the teahouse in a daze, Jess had already prepared for the worst.

But unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu didn't do anything to him, but told him to be fair to all those who participated in the audition.

Jess didn't quite understand what Lin Daoqiu wanted him to do, but for him, the thing he was most worried about before no longer existed.

Originally, the last thing Jess wanted to see after arriving in Xiangjiang was Lin Daoqiu. He was worried that the other party would let Saenz fire him after knowing that he was Saenz's agent.

But now it seems that Lin Daoqiu doesn't have this idea, at least so far, he is still safe.

After sending Jess downstairs, Fang Jinsheng returned to the box.

"Since it's an audition, it should be fair and just. Mr. Ho wants Jet Li to become Bruce Lee's second. I think his idea may be difficult to achieve."

It would be fine if Lin Daoqiu didn't know, since he knew, how could he miss this good opportunity.

At that time, Golden Harvest and Di Bao joined forces with Run Run Shaw to deal with him, forcing him to give up Xiangjiang Cinemas to Run Run Shaw.

Now that they have such a good opportunity, if they don't take care of themselves, they are afraid that God will not agree.

"Put some news out to muddy the water."

Now Lin Daoqiu wants Di Bao's people to come and stir things up. Although the registration has ended, but with Jess around, they can still be easily arranged.

…………

"Have you heard? The director of "The Green Hornet" originally asked Mr. Lin Dao Qiulin to recommend Kato's role."

"This is already yesterday's news. It is said that the role recommended by Mr. Lin made the director dissatisfied, so he will hold this casting."

"Also, it is said that for this casting, Mr. Lin has fallen out with Saenz, and even ordered New Oriental's actors not to participate in the audition."

All of a sudden, there were rumors about everything, and there were even rumors that Lin Daoqiu had banned Saenz, and his director would be cancelled.

For these rumors, most people don't know the inside story, only a few people know.

And for those who don't know the inside story, Lin Daoqiu and New Oriental did not participate in this audition, which can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Brother, it's such a pity this time. I didn't expect that Mr. Lin would fall out with Saenz and not allow his people to participate in the audition for "The Green Hornet". If we knew this was the case, we would sign up."

Both Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were worried that the role of "The Green Hornet" might be taken away by someone recommended by Lin Daoqiu.

But I didn't expect Saenz to be so stubborn, withstood the pressure from Lin Daoqiu, and then held this audition.

If they had known earlier, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao would definitely have signed up.

Turning his head to look at Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung was indeed interested in the drama "The Green Hornet", but at the beginning because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship, that's why he didn't sign up and didn't ask Di Bao's people to sign up.

As a result, as soon as the news of Lin Daoqiu and Saenz's falling out broke out, Sammo Hung felt a little regretful.

"What's the use of saying this now, the registration has ended, don't think about those unrealistic things."

Sammo Hung took it very seriously, since he couldn't sign up, he wouldn't have any thoughts about this kind of thing.

Hearing what Sammo Hung said, Yuen Biao shrugged directly.

But at this moment, Cen Jianxun suddenly came over with two foreigners.

"This is the director of "The Green Hornet" Saenz and his manager Jess. They have come here specially to visit Brother Hong and A Biao this time."

They were chatting about "The Green Hornet" just now, but they didn't expect the director to come to their door.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao looked at each other, and they both found it a bit inconceivable.

"I heard that the two are the top kung fu stars in Xiangjiang, but I searched through the people who signed up for the audition and couldn't find them. Could it be that the two are not interested in "The Green Hornet"?"

It is impossible for Saenz to be idle and bored, just to go through the more than 2000 registration forms for Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

He knew that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had learned about them from Jess, and after a brief search of the information, he found that these two were arguably the top kung fu stars in Xiangjiang.

They didn't come to the audition, which made Saenz feel very regretful.

But at this time, Jess suddenly told Saenz that they did not participate because of concerns. If he was willing to come to invite them, maybe they would be willing to participate in the audition.

Saenz's initial idea was to find the most suitable person to play Kato. Since they are both kung fu stars and of the same age, why not give it a try.

So Saenz asked Jess to take him to Di Bao to find Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

"This……"

After listening to what the interpreter said, Sammo Hung immediately showed an embarrassing smile on his face.

"It's actually like this. They originally wanted to sign up, but they were too busy filming and couldn't find time, so they missed the audition signup this time unfortunately."

Cen Jianxun hurriedly helped to remedy the situation, because he also heard the rumors between Lin Daoqiu and Saenz.

Cen Jianxun originally hoped that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao could participate in "The Green Hornet" and accumulate more popularity for them, which would benefit Di Bao a lot.

Cen Jianxun did not push this matter because he was worried about the relationship between Universal and Lin Daoqiu.

But now, Saenz personally came to the door, and Lin Daoqiu's factor has been ruled out, so they have no reason to refuse the other party's invitation.

"Is it really?"

Saenz quickly turned his head to look at Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao and asked, the two nodded in tacit understanding.

"It's okay. If you two are interested, I can make an exception for you and let you participate in this audition. I don't know what you two think."

For Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, they have never tried such a thing as an audition. Most of the time in Xiangjiang they have been playing male leads.

If it wasn't because it was a Hollywood movie, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao would have rejected it without even thinking about it.

Yuen Biao couldn't make up his mind, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Sammo Hung.

Sammo Hung was also very conflicted. After all, with his and Yuen Biao's identities and status in Hong Kong, he actually had to audition for a role. He would feel embarrassed if he said it.

But on the other hand, if they can win the role of "The Green Hornet", it will definitely help their development in Hollywood.

After struggling for a while, Sammo Hung's eyes suddenly became firm.

"Since the director came to invite us in person, what reason do we have to refuse? A Biao and I agreed to participate in this audition."

Sammo Hung finally decided to give it a try. After all, if he went with Yuen Biao, the chances of being selected would be higher if he chose one of the two.
