Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 37
"The latest masterpiece of the Hong Family Class, Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest joined hands to hit the annual box office champion..."

""Young Master Qian" is on the mend. In just two days, it won a super high box office of 180 million..."

When going to work on Monday, office workers in Xiangjiang are used to going to the newsstand to buy newspapers and read the news when they get on or off the bus.

On Monday, the entertainment pages of the newspapers had the most news, and almost all of them published the news that "Master Qian" had sold well at the box office.

Overnight, the names of Yuen Biao and Guo Youhua resounded throughout Xiangjiang, and even surpassed the limelight of other big stars.

Even the director Lin Zhengying and the big villain Zhong Fa got a lot of opportunities to show their faces, but there was only one person missing.

"Brother Qiu, this is too unfair. Without you, "Young Master Qian" would not have been filmed at all. Those journalists who rushed to the street didn't include you. Would they know how to write news?"

Wen Jun couldn't help complaining about Lin Daoqiu's injustice. Others didn't know but he and Zheng Danrui knew very well that if Lin Daoqiu wasn't for this movie, it would definitely not have been made.

But Lin Daoqiu just glanced at the news in the newspaper, and then turned his head to the other side. He didn't seem to have any reaction to what Wen Jun said.

Zheng Danrui on the side couldn't figure out what Lin Daoqiu was thinking. If he was ignored like this, he would definitely be very sad.

"I'm neither an actor nor a director, nor even a screenwriter. I'm just a producer. It's right for them not to report on me. I can't let me steal the limelight from starring in them, right?"

Lin Daoqiu not only read it very openly, he even hoped that his name would not be mentioned in the newspapers, that would be the best.

But he didn't express his true thoughts, otherwise Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui would definitely be frightened by his words.

After all, in the entertainment circle, everyone tried every means to improve their reputation, and there would never be anyone like Lin Daoqiu who would deliberately hide himself.

And when Lin Daoqiu had just finished speaking, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui suddenly gestured at each other with their eyes, as if they had something to say to Lin Daoqiu, but they dared not say it.

"Just say what you have to say, you will get internal injuries if you hold it in your heart." Lin Daoqiu noticed that the expressions of the two people were a little strange, as if they wanted to say something but dared not say it.

Wen Jun felt that the opportunity was rare, so he quickly pouted at Zheng Danrui, signaling him to take this opportunity to speak out.

Zheng Danrui looked embarrassed, but in the end he looked at Lin Daoqiu cautiously and said, "Brother Qiu, Mr. He from Golden Harvest approached us yesterday and asked us to write some scripts for him."

Lin Daoqiu thought it was something, it turned out that He Guanchang planned to ask Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun to write a few scripts.

"This is a good thing, you won't refuse it?" Lin Daoqiu was worried about them instead.

"We didn't agree right away, we just told the other party to think about it for a few days." In fact, Wen Jun wanted to agree immediately, after all, such an opportunity is really rare.

But when they think of Lin Daoqiu and Feilong, the two of them shrink back immediately, and it's hard to say who is the real screenwriter of "Master Qian".

"There's nothing to think about. Since Mr. He likes you and agrees, why don't you make money if you have money?"

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to be so affectionate and righteous, unlike Yuen Biao, who signed a contract with Jiahe without saying a word. At least these two people knew to tell him that they were already very conscientious.

Originally, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were worried that Lin Daoqiu would object, but they didn't expect the other party to agree so simply, which made them heave a sigh of relief.

After all, such an opportunity is very rare for newcomers like them. If they can grasp it this time, maybe they can become Xiangjiang's gold medal screenwriters.

Raising his hand and looking at his watch, Lin Daoqiu found that the appointment time with Fang Yihua was coming soon, so he quickly changed his clothes and went out to meet the appointment.

Fang Yihua originally made an appointment with Feilong, but now Feilong is not interested in talking about these things at all, so he asked Lin Daoqiu to meet Fang Yihua instead.

Unlike Run Run Shaw who likes to meet for afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, Fong Yat Wah meets up at a coffee shop in the city, which is not far from Wireless.

Although Lin Daoqiu had already pinpointed the time when he went out, he was still 5 minutes late. When he arrived at the coffee shop, he saw Fang Yihua greeted him with a dirty face.

"Mr. Lin, you are 5 minutes late." Fang Yihua pointed to the watch on his hand.

"Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam." Lin Daoqiu explained to Fang Yihua after sitting down.

Originally, Feilong didn't come, but only sent a young man, which already made Fang Yihua feel uncomfortable, but the other party made her late, how could she bear it.

"Feilong's temper is getting bigger and bigger now, he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to drink tea." Fang Yihua is still dissatisfied with Feilong's breaking the appointment.

"He Yi has been quite busy recently, Brother Fei Long really can't get away, I'm here to apologize to Miss Fang on his behalf, and I will handle the follow-up work of this drama from now on."

Fang Yihua still can't let Fang Yihua know that Feilong is going to prison, at least until "Master Qian" is sold at the box office, otherwise he doesn't know what troubles will happen.

Hearing that Feilong left the matter to Lin Daoqiu, Fang Yihua frowned unabashedly to express his dissatisfaction.

She planned to get up and leave several times, but after thinking about it, she remained patient. After all, the box office of "Master Qian" was really good, and she even hoped to become the annual box office champion.

And the more important reason is because Guo Youhua is the heroine of this "Master Qian", otherwise Fang Yathua would not ask Feilong to meet, let alone invest in the sequel of this movie.

"You handle it? What can you handle?"

Fang Yihua suddenly remembered something: "By the way, if I remember correctly, you seem to be the producer of "Master Qian", right?"

"I'm just putting up a name, and I can't help you much." Lin Daoqiu said modestly.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu was just being modest, but in Fang Yihua's eyes, she felt that Lin Daoqiu was telling the truth. After all, people of his age can understand any movies, and speaking out will only make people laugh.

"It's a good thing for young people to be self-aware. Don't think that you can get ahead after making a movie, and you should know the reason why this movie is a hit, so I don't need to say more."

Fang Yihua seemed to want to transfer her dissatisfaction with Feilong to Lin Daoqiu, she kept sneering and sarcastic, not giving Lin Daoqiu any face at all.

Lin Daoqiu didn't even know who he was provoking. As soon as Fang Yihua came in, he started to take it out on him. He was obviously polite from the beginning to the end. Could it be wrong?

"What Miss Fang said is true, I will definitely keep it in mind." In the end, Lin Daoqiu restrained himself from attacking. After all, Fang Yihua, who was sitting opposite him, was not a good quarrel.

If possible, it's better not to have any trouble with the other party. Not to mention Shaw Brothers, just take Wireless as an example. Lin Daoqiu believes that he will definitely deal with Wireless in the future.

If he messed up his relationship with Fang Yihua at this time, it would not do him any good, so he could only endure it for the time being.
