Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1655 Comedy Master
"Aren't you very busy recently? Why are you free to invite me for tea?"

Xu Guanwen felt it was very strange, he knew that Xu Guanjie should be very busy when the Chinese New Year was approaching, but he suddenly asked him out for tea, which made him feel strange.

"You are my elder brother, is it strange to ask you out for tea?"

Xu Guanjie shook his head while talking.

For his talented younger brother, Xu Guanwen can be said to know him very well.

But even so, he never imagined that the other party would choose this method of cutting first and playing later.

"Brother, actually, I asked you out today because I wanted to talk to you about something."

Xu Guanwen nodded, he never thought about what Xu Guanjie asked him out to talk about today.

Originally, at the beginning, he thought Xu Guanjie asked him out just to have afternoon tea casually.

"I've already gone to see Mr. Lin."

"Well, then what?"

At the beginning, Xu Guanwen didn't understand what Xu Guanjie meant. What did he have to do with him when he saw Mr. Lin?
"When Mr. Lin and I were talking about comedy movies, he said that in Xiangjiang's comedy movies, you are the only person who can be called a master."

Lin Daoqiu's polite words were directly relayed by Xu Guanjie to Xu Guanwen.

Although Xu Guanwen couldn't see any expression on his face, he was still very satisfied with Lin Daoqiu's compliment.

If any ordinary person said that to him, Xu Guanwen wouldn't even respond.

But what Lin Daoqiu said made Xu Guanwen very happy. After all, the other party was a world-renowned movie tycoon, and he was also a very good screenwriter.

Although Golden Harvest and New Oriental were incompatible, this did not affect Xu Guanwen's admiration for Lin Daoqiu.

In just ten years, Lin Daoqiu changed from a young man who swam to Xiangjiang, not only became a big shot in Xiangjiang film industry, but also bought MGM in Hollywood.

In the entire Chinese film circle, except for Lin Daoqiu, no one can achieve such an achievement, not even Sixth Uncle.

"Mr. Lin is too much of a prize, everyone is just eating."

Xu Guanwen was very humble about this, originally he thought that Xu Guanjie was just talking about it casually, without any deep meaning.

But what Xu Guanwen didn't expect was that what Xu Guanjie was going to say next would shock him a lot.

"Actually, I also made an appointment with Mr. Lin today."

Xu Guanwen, who had just picked up a piece of barbecued pork bun and was about to take a bite, heard what Xu Guanjie said, and suddenly he seemed to stand still, looking at him while holding the barbecued pork bun.

A few seconds later, Xu Guanwen put down the pork bun in his hand, and looked at Xu Guanjie with a very serious expression.

"Mr. Lin admires you very much. He wants to invite you to join New Oriental, so he specially asked me to arrange it."

Xu Guanjie knew very well that Xu Guanwen would definitely not want to meet Lin Daoqiu if he followed the normal path, so he could only find a way to invite him out, and then he would do it first.

Looking around, he didn't know what Xu Guanwen was looking at, but suddenly he stood up from the chair, looking as if he was about to run away.

"Boss, next time you want to cheat me, remember not to tell me in advance, come out for tea another day."

Xu Guanwen shook his head while talking, then turned and walked towards the door.

Xu Guanjie is very clear about his elder brother's character, he must be afraid of seeing Lin Daoqiu, so he planned to leave.

"If you leave, how should I explain to Mr. Lin?"

When Xu Guanwen heard the other party say this, he immediately stopped, then turned around and replied.

"You clean up the things you made yourself, and I didn't ask you to do it. Do you know that doing so will make me very embarrassed."

"You're not afraid that if you leave like this, Mr. Lin will anger me. Wouldn't I be in big trouble then?"

Xu Guanwen looked Xu Guanjie up and down for a while, then said angrily and with a smile.

"Ajie, it seems that you are determined to eat me."

"Sit down, Mr. Lin is coming soon. If you leave now, I will be in bad luck. Anyway, you have met Mr. Lin first. Maybe the other party finds that you are not suitable for New Oriental after talking with you. .”

Xu Guanjie is obviously using aggressive tactics against Xu Guanwen, but this old-fashioned trick sometimes works very well.

Although he knew that Xu Guanjie said this on purpose, Xu Guanwen sat back on the chair again.

I don't know if it was because of his younger brother's future, or because he wanted to prove something to the other party, but Xu Guanwen didn't leave anyway.

"The aggressive method is useless to me."

Xu Guanwen had a look of disdain, he had already seen that Xu Guanjie was using aggressive methods on him.

Even if the other party saw it, Xu Guanjie still looked very calm. Whether he can convince his elder brother today depends not on himself, but on Lin Daoqiu.

If Lin Daoqiu really wanted to invite Xu Guanwen to New Oriental, then he might have to spend a little more time thinking about it. After all, it was really difficult for his big brother to handle it.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the box, and then Lin Daoqiu walked in with Fang Jinsheng.

"Mr. Lin..."

Xu Guanjie spoke first, and Xu Guanwen next to him thought about it and called out Mr. Lin as well.

"You two are too polite, please sit down."

Xu Guanwen, who was full of confidence at first, suddenly became a little panicked after meeting Lin Daoqiu.

It stands to reason that if there is no desire or desire, Xu Guanwen should not feel nervous even if he sees Lin Daoqiu.

Although the other party is already a great big shot, he has a pivotal position both in Xiangjiang and in the international film world.

But even so, Xu Guanwen didn't think he was nervous when he saw Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Xu, speaking of the people I admire most in Xiangjiang, you are definitely among the best. I have always had a wish, that is, to cooperate with Mr. Xu, but I have not been able to fulfill my wish. It has to be said that it is a pity. "

"Mr. Lin is too polite. Xiangjiang wants to cooperate with you. I don't know how many filmmakers. I'm just a nobody. I don't need you to worry about it."

Xu Guanwen tried his best to appear calm, but the ups and downs in his heart made it difficult for him to calm down.

Lin Daoqiu made a special trip to ask Ajie to invite him out, and it must be to talk about letting him join New Oriental.

If he hadn't watched "Godzilla", Xu Guanwen wouldn't even think about it.

However, after being shocked by "Godzilla", Xu Guanwen's attitude towards New Oriental has changed a lot.

If Lin Daoqiu really wanted to extend the invitation by himself, would he firmly reject his invitation?

Thinking of this, Xu Guanwen's heart became even more disturbed.
