Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 158
Things that can't be promised are easy to solve. After all, he has no backer now, and he is not popular. There is no room for resistance in front of Wu Chou.

It can be said that he has to do what Wu Chou tells him to do.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu asked him to act in this play is because his talent for comedy has not yet been discovered.

Another reason was that he wanted Wu Chou to sign Xu Bu as an artist in his company.

As long as there is a great god like Wu Chou covering him, the unsatisfactory days will definitely be much easier than in the previous life.

If I remind Wu Chou in the future, and let him be optimistic about Xu Xu and not let him gamble, then this Taiwanese comedy master will definitely live longer.

However, compared to the unsatisfactory success, the heroine Hu Huizhong had a problem.

"Sorry, you should find someone else for this play, I don't want to act."

Wu Chou found a well-known assistant director in the film industry to invite Hu Huizhong.

But when Director Zhou met Hu Huizhong and extended an invitation to her, he didn't expect that Hu Huizhong directly rejected his invitation.

"Miss Hu, our Changhong Film Company is very sincere and wants to invite you to play the leading role in this movie. You'd better think carefully about it."

"Director Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm really not interested, you should find someone else."

Hu Huizhong still shook her head. She didn't know this director surnamed Zhou at all, and she had never heard of Changhong Film Company, so she thought he was a liar.

Being rejected by a newcomer like this made Director Zhou feel very humiliated.

He originally wanted to tell Hu Huizhong that it was Mulian's Wu Chou who asked her to make a movie, but in the end he didn't say that.

"Since Ms. Hu is unwilling, then forget it. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time."

This guy looked very sorry, but in fact he was full of bad water, and planned to report to Wu Chou, so that he could clean up Hu Huizhong.

………………

The expression on Wu Chou's face seemed to be calm, but behind this calm was a stormy sea.

Lin Daoqiu, who had finished filming "Lotus Contest", was invited by Wu Chou to talk about things at night.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Wu Chou talking about this matter.

"It seems that your name is not very useful." Lin Daoqiu joked with a smile.

Being ridiculed by Lin Daoqiu like this, Wu Chou just smiled, but his smile looked very sinister.

Before, Wu Chou boasted in front of Lin Daoqiu, saying that there were not many artists he could not invite in Baodao.

But I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon, and the other party was a young actress.

"What the hell is going on? Why did she refuse to play?"

Lin Daoqiu wondered why Hu Huizhong refused to act in the play.

At this time, the assistant director sent by Wu Chou was standing beside him, Wu Chou looked back at him, and that guy hurried forward.

"I told her that our Changhong Film Company sincerely asked her to be the heroine, but Ms. Hu said she was not interested, and then I was kicked back."

Director Zhou acted quite realistically, with an expression of grievance on his face, as if he was so angry with Hu Huizhong.

"I want to meet a girl with such a personality."

It's not that Wu Chou has any thoughts about Hu Huizhong, he just wants to clean up this Hu Huizhong who dared to refuse his invitation.

"Did you tell him that Mr. Wu invited her?"

Lin Daoqiu asked that director Zhou.

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Director Zhou suddenly trembled, thinking that they would not ask so many questions.

"Uh... that... I told her that I'm from Changhong Film Company."

Director Zhou, who was trying to get away with it, didn't speak well at all. He seemed to answer Lin Daoqiu's question, but he didn't seem to.

Wu Chou didn't think too much about it. After all, Changhong Film Company was newly opened by him. If Hu Huizhong dared to refuse, it would be a disgrace to himself. There is nothing to say about it.

"Mr. Wu's company has only been established for a few days? I guess Quan Baodao knows that there are not many people in this company, let alone a newcomer."

Lin Daoqiu found it very strange that Hu Huizhong should not be so courageous. As a rookie who has just acted in a play, she dare not give Mulian people face, unless she has a background of heaven.

But as far as Lin Daoqiu knows, Hu Huizhong's family is very ordinary, and she is just a student studying in the acting department of Huagang Art School. What background can she have?
"Then...then I don't know."

Director Zhou lowered his head very low, not daring to meet Lin Daoqiu's eyes.

Wu Chou is not a fool either, he knew at a glance that this guy might not be telling the truth.

"Dare to play tricks in front of me, it seems that you are quite courageous."

Almost gritted her teeth and said this sentence, Wu Chou did not expect that a small assistant director would dare to play tricks on her.

As soon as Wu Chou finished speaking, the younger brother next to her immediately stepped forward, ready to pull Director Zhou out to give him a good lesson.

"I'm sorry, Boss Wu, I didn't mean it. When I went to find her, she refused directly. I just wanted to teach her a lesson, so I said that."

Director Zhou was so frightened that he hurriedly told the truth, otherwise he would definitely be repaired miserably.

But even so, Wu Chou just sneered and waved his hand, he didn't want to listen to the other party's explanation at all.

Lin Daoqiu did not let Wu Chou's subordinates show mercy. After all, if such a person does not teach him a lesson, he will definitely continue to play tricks on the tiger in the future.

And on the second day, Hu Huizhong came out of school after class and was walking to the bus stop, ready to go home by car.

As she was walking towards the bus stop, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

Hu Huizhong looked back, and she suddenly found that Lin Daoqiu suddenly appeared in front of her like this.

Thinking that the other party was here to collect gambling debts, Hu Huizhong was so frightened that she was about to run away, but Lin Daoqiu grabbed her arm first.

"You got into a big disaster yesterday."

Before Hu Huizhong, who was held by Lin Daoqiu, had time to run away, he heard the other party say such a sentence.

She felt baffled, how could she get into such a catastrophe when she was doing well, this guy must be lying to herself.

"I don't know you, let go quickly, or I will call someone."

"It turns out that people who lose a bet can have such a temper, but we have already pulled the hook, so it's useless if you play tricks."

Lin Daoqiu originally wanted to have a good talk with her, but Hu Huizhong thought he was here to collect debts from her.

"Mr. Lin, I was wrong about what happened last time. I can apologize to you. Just forget about the bet."

Hu Huizhong's attitude softened all of a sudden, after all, she is not that kind of aggressive personality.

Once Lin Daoqiu really got serious, she really couldn't resist for a while, after all, she was only a 20-year-old girl now.
