Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 162

"Mr. Lin is quite free. I'm so busy that I can't even touch the ground. You still have time to come and play in this place."

Since opening Changhong Film Company, Wu Chou can be said to have done everything by himself, from the sweeping aunt to the director and screenwriter, he has to personally handle everything.

After a busy day, she was suddenly invited by Lin Daoqiu to the Vienna Western Restaurant on Linsen North Road, which made Wu Chou a little puzzled.

Because the purpose of most people coming here is not just to eat, a large part of them come here to listen to music.

"Hush...listen to the song first..."

At this time, there was an ordinary-looking woman singing on the stage.

Wu Chou is not a person who likes to listen to music, but Lin Daoqiu said so, so he had to calm down first.

After listening for a while, Wu Chou became a little impatient, because he didn't like the song sung by the female singer on stage.

Not only Wu Chou, but even the guests next to her seemed to be interested in the songs she sang.

But the strange thing is that Lin Daoqiu listened with gusto, which made Wu Chou feel very strange.

After finally waiting for the other party to finish singing, Wu Chou finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Did Mr. Lin come to see her specially?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect Wu Chou to see it so quickly, he smiled and nodded to admit it.

And at this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly raised his hand and called the waiter over.

Fold twenty thousand-yen bills into a fan shape and hand the money to the waiter.

"Please give it to the lady on the stage."

And when Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he suddenly turned to look at Wu Chou beside him.

Seeing Lin Daoqiu like this, Wu Chou could only curl her lips, and took out ten thousand-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to the waiter.

The reward of 3 yuan is definitely not the most in this Vienna western restaurant.

But for that female singer, the reward of 3 yuan was the biggest red envelope she got after singing for so long.

When the waiter delivered the money to the other party, he said a few words, the female singer was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, and then took the money.

"Thank you two distinguished guests for the red envelopes."

Maybe it was the first time I received such a large amount of red envelopes, and the other party's voice changed a little when he thanked him.

But Wu Chou obviously didn't appreciate it, and he really couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu made a special trip to see the female singer on stage.

She looks very ordinary, and her singing is also very ordinary. What is there to be obsessed with?
Wu Chou thought that maybe Lin Daoqiu's taste was so special, anyway, he came here anyway, so let's treat it as leisure and relaxation.

"Okay, let's go backstage."

If it was an ordinary guest, it would be absolutely impossible to think of the backstage, but because of Wu Chou, no one at the scene dared to stop him.

She thought that Lin Daoqiu wanted to pursue the other party, but after thinking about it, Wu Chou decided to go with him.

The female singer was taking off her make-up in the dressing room. After singing here, she had to rush to the next house to sing, and the time was very tight.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the dressing room.

Opening the door, she suddenly found that standing at the door were the two guests who tipped her just now.

Su Rui felt very surprised, because outsiders were not allowed to enter the backstage, how could they enter the backstage?
"This is Wu Chou, Boss Wu. This is Lin Daoqiu, the chief executive producer. Don't be dazed, just say hello."

The owner of the restaurant was afraid that Su Rui would be ignorant and upset the two masters, and he would be in trouble.

"Boss Wu, Supervisor Lin, hello."

Su Rui is still at a loss. She doesn't understand why the other party suddenly came to her. Could it be that one of them has taken a fancy to her?
"I came to see Miss Su today because I want to ask you to help me with something."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, the tension in Su Rui's heart eased a little.

Because the other party didn't say that he wanted to invite her to dinner, or a date or something, but said to come to her for help.

But Su Rui couldn't figure it out, she was just a little singer, how could she help them?

"I'm going to make a movie recently. I'm here today to ask Miss Su to help me sing the three songs in the movie."

Wu Chou originally thought that Lin Daoqiu had thoughts about Su Rui, but now it seems that he came here specially for the movie, and it seems that she wrongly blamed him before.

"Are you asking me to sing?"

Su Rui couldn't believe that someone would invite her to help with the soundtrack of a movie, which made her a little overwhelmed.

The owner of the restaurant next to him was dying of anxiety. Seeing that Su Rui didn't agree to come right away, he coughed a few times.

When Su Rui heard that the boss was coughing, she nodded quickly.

"It's my honor to help the two of you, but...but the songs I sing don't seem to be very popular."

Su Rui is very honest. The singers that everyone likes now are those with gentle and graceful singing voices like Feng Feifei, Teresa Teng, and Qi Yu.

As for Su Rui's voice, it was so high-pitched and extremely explosive that people nowadays couldn't appreciate it at all.

"It doesn't matter, they can't enjoy it now because they haven't got the hang of it yet. After the movie is released, you will become the most popular female singer in Baodao."

Su Rui didn't know Lin Daoqiu, because she was usually busy with singing and didn't go to the movies very much.

So she has no impression of Lin Daoqiu at all, and she doesn't know where the other party has the confidence to say such a thing.

Su Rui looked calm, without any expression of joy or excitement, which made Lin Daoqiu a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu didn't care too much about these things, he pretended to cough twice, and quickly resolved the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene.

"Leave me a call, and I will send someone to pick you up when it's time to record the song."

Lin Daoqiu knew that Su Rui had to go to the show, so he didn't plan to talk too much to her.

After Su Rui left a phone call, she hurried in to change her clothes and prepared to perform in the next karaoke hall.

Just when Wu Chou thought that the matter was over and she could leave, Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned to look at the owner of the western restaurant.

"During filming, there are a few scenes where I need to borrow a western restaurant. I wonder if the boss can make it easier for me?"

The boss didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would borrow the restaurant to film a movie, so he immediately showed hesitation.

If he rents out the restaurant for a few days, his loss is not small, at least NT$10,000+.

Lin Daoqiu saw the other party's embarrassed expression, and knew that he had guessed wrongly.

"Boss, don't worry, it won't delay your business hours. We all shoot in the morning."

"If that's the case, of course it's fine."

The boss was relieved when he heard that the other party only borrowed in the morning, because they are closed in the morning.

So lending out the restaurant during that time will not affect his business.

But even if Lin Daoqiu intends to borrow a whole day, the boss may have to agree, because Wu Chou is next to him, so he dare not say a word.

If he dared to refuse, he wouldn't need to do business in the restaurant. Just being harassed by Mulian people every day would be enough for him to have a headache.
