Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 3241 Don’t cross the line

As soon as the four people entered Lin Daoqiu's office, they found no trace of Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui. Everyone was shocked. Could it be that Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui didn't actually come to see Lin Daoqiu at all, and they were fooled by those two guys.

"Ah Juan and Ari have already told me everything. Please sit down, everyone."

Hearing that Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui had come to help them clear the front line, the four of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two guys didn't sell them out.

"Director Xu, long time no see. How are you lately?"

Lin Daoqiu turned to look at Tsui Hark and asked with a smile.

Tsui Hark lowered his head when Lin Daoqiu asked this question. He didn't even have the courage to look at Lin Daoqiu now.

He had originally thought about saying something to defend himself in front of Lin Daoqiu, but when he saw Lin Daoqiu, Tsui Hark's courage disappeared instantly, and everything he had imagined before disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your concern. I'm doing fine."

Lin Daoqiu smiled, not knowing what his attitude was towards Tsui Hark.

Without Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui present, Huang Baiming and the others had been beating drums in their hearts. They originally wanted to use them as shields for themselves, but they didn't expect those two guys to slip away. It was really disgusting.

"I understand why you came to me. I heard from Ah Juan and Ari that Director Xu wants to participate in the filming of "The Swordsman"?"

When asked by Lin Daoqiu, Xu Hark quickly nodded.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that this time I will wholeheartedly assist Director Chu in filming "The Swordsman". I will never do anything for you. I will do my job as an assistant director honestly. If you don't believe it, I can be here." swear."

After Tsui Hark finished speaking, he stood up from the chair and prepared to swear an oath in front of Lin Daoqiu.

But at this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Tsui Hark who was about to swear an oath, and then turned to look at Huang Baiming and the others and asked.

"Do you believe what Director Xu said?"

Huang Baiming and the others wanted to nod and say they believed it, but they couldn't say the words.

It would be okay if it were someone else, but Lin Daoqiu in front of him is not an ordinary person. Deceiving him will definitely not benefit him at all. He may even end up like Tsui Hark because of this lie. If that's the case If so, they would not be able to help Tsui Hark but would also harm themselves. Thank you for that.

"I believe you should know very well who Director Xu is. It is simply impossible for him not to intervene in the filming of the movie. If I make you swear this oath, I can only say that I am harming you. "Swordsman" "Jiang Hu" has begun to enter the stage of preparation for filming. The leading actors have been selected and the script is already being revised. The assistant director will not give it to you. I wonder if what I said is clear enough?" Tsui Hark could only hear this. He nodded helplessly. Lin Daoqiu's words have already reached this point. If he still doesn't understand the situation, it can only be said that he will never be favored by Lin Daoqiu in the future, let alone know about the opportunity for special effects blockbusters. .

It's just that we have already come this far. Wouldn't it be a pity if we chose to retreat at this time.

"Mr. Lin, I shouldn't have deceived you before. I know I was wrong, and I kept making the same mistake again and again. I hope you can give me another chance. I promise I will never deceive you again, like what happened last time." It won’t happen again, please believe me.”

"Mr. Lin, Lao Xu is actually not a bad person. He just has a messy mind sometimes. He definitely shouldn't have deceived you at that time, but he has also been punished. He has been unable to eat or sleep well these days. He spends the whole day He is so worried that he has no intention of filming his own movie and has left the work to the assistant director. Please forgive him this time. The three of us will guarantee him. If he dares to deceive you again in the future, then by then We won’t say a word for him.”

"That's right, Mr. Lin, Old Xu has always been obsessed with movies. In fact, none of us can compare with him. The reason why we came to intercede for him today is just because we don't want Xiangjiang Film to lose an old weirdo Xu who is serious about filming. , please be noble and spare him this time, I believe he will change his mind and start a new life."

Huang Baiming and the three of them took turns begging Lin Daoqiu for mercy, and Tsui Hark put on a very pitiful look at this time, which made people feel like they couldn't bear to say anything to him.

"You are lucky to have so many good friends. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't even have the chance to see me today."

Tsui Hark nodded quickly. He didn't need to say anything more at this time. Lin Daoqiu's meaning was already clear.

"Forget what happened before. You have indeed had a bad life during this period. This time I will give you a small punishment but a big warning. Remember what you just said. If you do it again next time, no matter who comes to help you plead for mercy, I will not I will spare you, do you understand?"

Tsui Hark nodded desperately. The lesson he learned this time was serious enough for him. How could he have the courage to deceive Lin Daoqiu next time.

"Since you want to be Director Chu's deputy, go ahead, but one day I want to remind you that a deputy should do whatever he is supposed to do. If you accidentally exceed it, I'm afraid there will be serious consequences. I I don’t want to see a version of “Swordsman” made according to your wishes, do you understand?”

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured. I will definitely remember your words and will never cross the line. Please rest assured."

Hearing that Xiangjiang agreed to let him participate in the filming of "The Swordsman", Tsui Hark secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It wasn't that he had deep feelings for "The Swordsman". His purpose of doing this was actually very simple. , just to make Lin Daoqiu forgive him. As for the assistant director, Tsui Hark still plans to do something, but he must not exceed the line drawn by Lin Daoqiu. Tsui Hark can still figure this out.

After the four people left Lin Daoqiu's office, Tsui Hark felt cold sweat break out on his back. The others were not much better. They felt that when Lin Daoqiu was talking just now, the temperature in the room seemed to drop to zero. This time, Lin Daoqiu turned a bad situation into a good one and made him forgive Tsui Hark. Otherwise, if Lin Daoqiu had to continue to hate Tsui Hark like this, how would he be able to develop in Hong Kong in the future.

"Old Xu, you are lucky this time, but I'm afraid you won't have such a good opportunity next time."

"Bah, bah, bah, next time, I won't deceive Mr. Lin anymore. Do you think I've been living well these days? I've been frightened all day long. I don't want to live like that anymore. Let's go. I’m treating you to a feast.”

Tsui Hark's forgiveness from Lin Daoqiu is more effective than any panacea for him. He just wants to completely get Lin Daoqiu to forgive him. I'm afraid it will take some time. At this point, Tsui Hark is still very clear-headed.
