Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1587 Thank you Mr. Lin

"Brother Fa wants to see me?"

A few days later, Wu Mengda received a call from Chow Yun-fat, but Chow Yun-fat made a request on the phone, he wanted to see Lin Daoqiu first.

Regarding Zhou Runfa's request, Wu Mengda immediately agreed to help him contact Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu was a little surprised when he learned that Chow Yun-fat wanted to see him.

But since it was the other party's request, Lin Daoqiu would not refuse, and he even faintly felt that after this meeting, maybe the matter should be settled.

The meeting place with Lin Daoqiu was at a restaurant, and besides Lin Daoqiu, Wu Mengda also came to accompany him.

After all, Lin Daoqiu and Chow Yun-fat are not familiar with each other. If there were only two of them, the scene would definitely be awkward.

On this day, Chow Yun-fat came to the appointed restaurant half an hour earlier to wait for Lin Daoqiu's arrival.

Although he was the one who made Lin Daoqiu's request, Chow Yun-fat was a little nervous at this moment.

At this time, he was only in his early thirties, and he was far from the Fa Ge who looked down on everything in later generations.

For Chow Yun-fat, the reason why he asked Lin Daoqiu to meet was because he wanted to know what Lin Daoqiu really thought of him.

If he only extended the invitation to himself because of Wu Mengda's face, then Chow Yun-fat would be unlikely to be willing to join New Oriental.

But if Lin Daoqiu really appreciates him, then Chow Yun-fat is willing to go to New Oriental to try it out. The situation must be much better than his current situation.

Not long after the appointed time arrived, the door of the box was pushed open by the waiter, and Chow Yun-fat stood up directly from the chair.

Just as he turned his head to the door, he saw Wu Mengda and Lin Daoqiu walking in from outside.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Chow Yun-fat."

Zhou Runfa took the initiative to say hello to Lin Daoqiu.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the qualifications and confidence to show in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Actually, I always wanted to cooperate with Brother Fa, but unfortunately I never had a good chance, but now it's better, and I can make up for my previous regrets."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Chow Yun-fat very happy. Whether it is true or not, Lin Daoqiu's attitude has been shown.

At least from what he said, it can be heard that he asked himself to join New Oriental not because Wu Mengda and the others helped intercede.

"Mr. Lin is too award-winning. I am just a down-and-out young actor. It is almost the dream of all actors in Xiangjiang to work with Mr. Lin. Of course I am one of them. Please sit down, Mr. Lin."

Lin Daoqiu was invited to the main seat, and Chow Yun-fat and Wu Mengda sat on both sides.

"Whether Fa Ge is an excellent actor or not? I believe that so many TV dramas with high ratings before can prove that what Fa Ge lacks is just an opportunity."

"Mr. Lin is right. Ah Fa's acting skills are really good. When I lived with him, we had to discuss acting every day. It can be said that he is a drama idiot."

Of course, Wu Mengda wanted to say good things for his good friend. Although his words were slightly exaggerated, they were generally in line with the facts.

"Mr. Lin, don't listen to him. I'm just an ordinary actor, and it's a matter of course to discuss things like acting skills. There's no need to bring it up."

Chow Yun-fat didn't think there was anything to talk about, he thought these were things that actors should do for granted.

For Chow Yun-fat's words, Lin Daoqiu had to express a burst of emotion.

Actors of later generations, especially those traffic stars, don't care about acting skills at all, and they don't memorize a bunch of doubles for their lines, saying that their actors are an insult to the word actor.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Xiangjiang film circle is still very good. Although many people here are filming to make money, at least everyone is serious about acting.

"But what I'm telling is the truth. What Mr. Lin wants to hear is the truth. Of course I have to tell the truth."

Wu Mengda and Chow Yun-fat seemed to be singing together, but in fact Lin Daoqiu had already made a decision before coming.

As long as Chow Yun-fat is willing to join New Oriental, he will not worry about not having a movie to make in the future.

"Brother Fa, joining New Oriental definitely has advantages and no disadvantages for you. I think with your ingenuity, you can figure it out after a little thought."

Lin Daoqiu knew that Chow Yun-fat was actually very smart, and he didn't need to talk too much nonsense with him, and it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to praise him desperately just to get Chow Yun-fat to join New Oriental.

Although Lin Daoqiu knew that Chow Yun-fat would definitely become popular in the future, there are only a handful of people in Hong Kong who have the same idea as him except Lin Daoqiu at this time.

Most people are actually not optimistic about Chow Yun Fat's future. Everyone thinks that after he falls out with Wireless, there will be no good end.

After all, Uncle Liu controls the Xiangjiang Cinemas, if someone dares to ask Chow Yun-fat to make a film, he may have to bear Uncle Liu's pressure.

Although it will not be obvious, reducing your number of shows, queuing up a little, or even letting you drop the picture early, these are enough to greatly reduce the box office of the movie.

Even if Uncle Six and Xiangjiang Cinemas didn't say it outright, who would dare to bet on such a thing.

After finally finding a movie that the boss invested in, it took several months to shoot it, but in the end, they lost everything, which made those people find someone to reason with.

"Mr. Lin, I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do. Since you are willing to meet me, a down-and-out little actor, then I have nothing to say. I will report to New Oriental tomorrow."

Chow Yun-fat did not say these words on a whim, he had already considered them fully.

When Lin Daoqiu walked in from the door, Chow Yun-fat's determination was stronger than before.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for being a general. I believe Ah Fa will not let you down. If Mr. Lin doesn't believe it, I'm willing to bet you."

Wu Mengda cupped his hands to congratulate Lin Daoqiu.

"Still betting?"

Lin Daoqiu turned his head and glanced at Wu Mengda, who was terrified.

"Hey, just kidding, I don't dare to gamble anymore, Mr. Lin, you know that I haven't gambled even once in these years."

At that time, Wu Mengda swore in front of Lin Daoqiu that if he gambled again, Lin Daoqiu would cut off his hand.

And Lin Daoqiu's answer was that if Wu Mengda dared to gamble, then he would never be able to keep his hands.

Maybe after he turned over, Wu Mengda once had or encountered a time when he wanted to gamble.

But at that time, he would always think of the words Lin Daoqiu said to him in Rolls-Royce: "If I find out that you gamble again, then you will lose your hands. Just kidding."
