Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1422 Who is setting up the game
Whether Li Yuanba has entered the final is not the first thing Saenz has to consider.

The reason why he was so angry was entirely because He Guanchang bypassed him and intervened in the audition results, which was the most intolerable for Saenz.

After finally getting the director of "The Green Hornet", Saenz felt that he would soon become a famous director in Hollywood.

In addition, being praised by Xiangjiang's news media during this period made Saenz even more inflated, so he couldn't bear He Guanchang's interference in the audition.

Li Yuanba had already been called by Jess to get ready to go nearby, and he and Jess had already agreed on what to do today.

After Li Yuanba received Jess' call, he immediately rushed to the audition scene.

"You are Li Yuanba?"

In his lounge, Saenz met Li Yuanba.

"Hi director, I'm Li Yuanba, nice to meet you."

Saenz was very satisfied after listening to the standard English.

Saenz still has a little impression of Li Yuanba, but he didn't know much about it at the time.

But now Saenz has decided that as long as Li Yuanba's skills are passable, then the role of Kato will be handed over to him.

"Mr. Li, this is your last chance. If your performance satisfies the director, then you still have hope for this role."

Although Jess said so, judging from his understanding of Saenz, he probably already wanted Li Yuanba to play Kato.

Li Yuanba nodded quickly, and then performed a set of martial arts moves in front of Saenz.

Compared with Jet Li and Yuen Biao, Li Yuanba's physical fitness is not worse than them, and his figure is also very strong, and his body is not as fat as Sammo Hung.

In addition, he can speak fluent English. Looking at these conditions together, Saenz is more and more satisfied.

After Li Yuanba's performance ended, Saenz stood up from his chair while applauding.

"Mr. Li, your performance is very good. Considering your various conditions, I think you can play the role of Kato."

Li Yuanba was overjoyed by Saenz's decision, he couldn't believe it was true.

Although Jess had assured him before that as long as he played normally today, this role would be taken by him.

But before Saenz made the final decision, Li Yuanba did not dare to take it lightly.

"Thank you director, I will do my best to play this role well, I swear to you."

Li Yuanba looked at Saenz gratefully, after all, this role meant a lot to him.

Now that Li Yuanba has made a decision, the audition will officially end, and Saenz plans to return to Hollywood as soon as possible to start the filming of "The Green Hornet".

"Mr. Li, we're going back to Hollywood tomorrow. You can go back with us. As for Mr. He, Jess will leave the rest to you, okay?"

Saenz has no contact with He Guanchang, so he has nothing to say to the other party. He has already planned to leave all other matters to Jess.

For Saenz's decision, Jess naturally agrees with both hands, because as long as this matter is dealt with, his mission will be completed.

After waiting for almost an hour, He Guanchang and Sammo Hung got a little impatient.

At this time, Jess suddenly appeared, but Saenz was nowhere to be seen.

"Everyone, the audition for "The Green Hornet" has officially ended, and the director has made the final decision."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on He Guanchang's face.

Because the person who came to announce the result was Jess, he took it for granted that Jet Li must be the one who won the role in the end.

"Mr. Jess has worked hard during this time. Although I don't know what the final result will be, I hope that we can work together if we have the opportunity in the future."

Jess just smiled slightly at this, he didn't think He Guanchang would still be in the good mood after the announcement of the waiting meeting.

Sammo Hung at the side felt that something was wrong. Although he already had a bad premonition in his heart, he couldn't do anything now.

"The person who won this role in the end is..."

Jess looked around the scene, suddenly raised his hand and said loudly to the door behind: "Mr. Li Yuanba."

He Guanchang had already stood up when he heard the word Li, but when he was halfway up, as soon as the name Li Yuanba was said, He Guanchang was in a daze.

"This...what's the matter?"

He Guanchang looked at Jess dumbfoundedly, he couldn't accept such a result in the end.

At this moment, Li Yuanba opened the door and walked in from the outside. He was still wearing the audition costume.

"Mr. He is really sorry, although you asked people to eliminate me, but the director understood the righteousness and let me participate in the final audition, and I won."

Seeing He Guanchang's surprised expression, Li Yuanba's heart felt so much better, it was like eating a popsicle on a hot day, it was so refreshing.

He Guanchang didn't want to talk to Li Yuanba at all, he stared straight at Jess, he just wanted to hear the other party's explanation, what was going on.

"Mr. He is really sorry, I can't go against my conscience, you asked me to eliminate them all and let Jet Li become the final winner, this fact is too despicable, these are the money you gave me, now I will return all the money .”

Handing a big paper bag to He Guanchang, Jess looked like a messenger of justice.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. If it wasn't for the pressure from Lin Daoqiu, how could Jess be willing to return the money to He Guanchang.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu would not let him do things in vain. He promised that there would be a sum of 20 US dollars as a reward after the work was completed, so Jess was willing to return the money to He Guanchang.

"Mr. He, how do you explain this matter?"

Before He Guanchang could speak, Sammo Hung had already stood up, looking at him angrily.

He Guanchang ignored Sammo Hung's questioning at all, he felt that he had been set up by others, otherwise the current situation would never have happened.

However, what surprised He Guanchang was not over yet, when Li Yuanba suddenly took out a contract.

"Mr. He, in view of the relationship between Golden Harvest and me, I intend to terminate the contract with Golden Harvest. I have already prepared 1000 million liquidated damages."

By forcing the contract into He Guanchang's hands, Jiahe can be said to have lost his wife and lost his army.

"Who is setting up a trap to harm me..."

He Guanchang held the paper bag tightly with both hands, his eyes almost burst into flames.
