Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 39: Cheap Solicitation

The effect of the double-screening reached its peak on the fourth day. On the fourth day of its release, the single-day box office reached 180 million, and the total box office accumulated to 500 million. These records are enough to make "Master Qian" stand out from the crowd this year.

At this time, most people blame Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao for the success of "Master Qian", even they themselves think so.

"Ah Biao, last time you left in a hurry, I haven't had time to pay you the signing fee, here is 100 million, you can accept it."

He Guanchang called Yuen Biao to his office, and handed him a check for one million yuan.

After receiving the check from He Guanchang, seeing so many zeros on it, Yuen Biao was completely dumbfounded.

"Young Master Qian" can be said to be basically certain to win this year's box office champion, and Yuen Biao, as the leading actor, has naturally become Golden Harvest's key training object.

"Thank you, Mr. He, I will definitely work harder."

Yuen Biao's hand holding the check was trembling. To him, 100 million was an astronomical figure. He even thought he was dreaming.

He Guanchang was very satisfied with Yuen Biao's reaction. He smiled and said, "Prepare for the next play. Mr. Zou said that after a few years you are stable in Xiangjiang, he will take you to Hollywood."

If there is anything that attracts him more than the check in his hand, it is probably only He Guanchang's words,
Going to Hollywood, that is the treatment only Bruce Lee has. I don’t know how many people have broken their heads and didn’t have this opportunity. I didn’t expect that I was so lucky.

Yuan Biao raised his head and stared blankly at He Guanchang. He was already so excited that he didn't know what to say. "

He Guanchang stood up from the chair, then walked to Yuen Biao's side and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "I believe that with your potential, you can definitely become the next Bruce Lee."

Back then, Golden Harvest was ambitious and originally planned to enter Hollywood, but Bruce Lee's sudden death disrupted all of Golden Harvest's plans. Until now, they have not been able to find a person who is as influential in the world as Bruce Lee.

The Yuen Biao in front of him rekindled hope for him and Zou Wenhuai, and won the box office champion for the first time starring, which is very similar to the trajectory of Bruce Lee back then.

Originally, they had their eyes on Jackie Chan, another member of the Yuan family class, but now with Yuen Biao, He Guanchang didn't pay as much attention to Jackie Chan as before.

Even if the other party's recent films have sold well, all of them can't compare to Yuen Biao's "Master Qian".

Not knowing how he got out of He Guanchang's office, Yuen Biao couldn't wait to tell his big brother Sammo Hung what He Guanchang had said to him, and he wanted to share his joy with him.

Half an hour after Yuen Biao left, another young man knocked on the door of He Guanchang's office.

"Mr. Lin, what a rare visitor." When He Guanchang saw Lin Daoqiu, his mood didn't seem as bad as the previous few times.

"Mr. He summoned me, how dare I not come." I don't know why He Guanchang suddenly asked me to come over, but looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that he has a plan in his chest, which is really confusing.

It took a full three days for He Guanchang's personnel to investigate Lin Daoqiu's identity.

When He Guanchang learned that the other party had just arrived in Xiangjiang, he became the producer of "Master Qian", which took him by a big surprise.

"Mr. Lin made such a blockbuster movie not long after he arrived in Xiangjiang. He really is a hero." He Guanchang's words already hinted at Lin Daoqiu's investigation of his identity.

But it seems that Lin Daoqiu didn't have any dissatisfaction because of his identity being found out by He Guanchang. He didn't even think there was anything strange, and he was very calm.

After all, it is not a matter of a single sentence for a big shot like He Guanchang to investigate an ordinary person, and it is not difficult for him at all.

"Mr. He is being polite, do you know why you came to me today?" Lin Daoqiu didn't want to continue on the topic of his identity, because it was unnecessary at all.

He Guanchang first smiled, then opened the drawer and took out a document and put it on the table, and beside the document was a check.

"Golden Harvest has developed over the years, and its distribution network has spread all over Southeast Asia, even as far as Hollywood. Mr. Zou and I both agreed that a large number of talents are needed to make a movie well, and Mr. Lin is exactly the person we want. "

Lin Daoqiu didn't even look at the contract on the table. Instead, he glanced at the amount on the check. If he calculated correctly, the amount on the check should be 5 yuan.

"I'm not a screenwriter, and I'm not a director. Mr. He invited me to Golden Harvest and wonder what I can do?" Lin Daoqiu looked at He Guanchang pretending to be puzzled.

He had already warned Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui before, absolutely not to speak out about the script, and let them rot in their stomachs.

Although I don't know why Lin Daoqiu did this, it's a good thing for them, because then they can justifiably add the screenwriter of "Master Qian" to their resumes, which is really useful.

"You can start with the crew. Anyway, you have also worked with Hong Jiaban, and then you can learn how to make movies by their side."

Naturally, He Guanchang would not recruit Lin Daoqiu into Golden Harvest and let him continue to be the producer. This is absolutely impossible. The reason why he recruited Lin Daoqiu was to see what was special about him.

Before calling Lin Daoqiu, he had already asked Yuan Biao and Lin Zhengying what they thought of him.

Yuen Biao didn't think there was anything special about Lin Daoqiu. If he really wanted to talk about it, it could only be that the other party's producer had done his job fairly conscientiously.

On the other side, Lin Zhengying couldn't say anything, but he respected Lin Daoqiu very much. After all, he was able to be the director of this play because of Lin Daoqiu's promotion.

The answers of the two made Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang not sure what Lin Daoqiu would do, so they planned to send him to the production team after signing him, to observe for a while and talk.

With a signing bonus of 5 yuan plus a monthly salary of 2000 yuan, the contract and check were placed in front of Lin Daoqiu. As long as he signed it, he could become an employee of Golden Harvest.

"I appreciate Mr. He's kindness, but I don't have much knowledge, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Jiahe." Lin Daoqiu declined the other party's kindness with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, don't rush to refuse. I heard that Heyi has encountered a lot of trouble recently. I believe you should also know that sometimes people have to leave a way out for themselves." He Guanchang suddenly mentioned Heyi's Lin Daoqiu was taken aback.

It seems that the matter of Feilong may not be kept secret for too long. As long as a big shot like He Guanchang is willing to inquire, he will definitely know a lot of news that ordinary people do not know.

"Thank you Mr. He for your concern, but I am not from Heyi, so what happens to them has nothing to do with me." Lin Daoqiu was not from Heyi in the first place, so there is nothing wrong with him saying that.

But now both He Guanchang and Fang Yihua regard him as Feilong's subordinate. If the news of Feilong's imprisonment gets out, I'm afraid these two guys will definitely cause trouble.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. I know that you are not from Heyi. That's why Mr. Zou and I want to invite you to work in Golden Harvest. This is a good opportunity for you. I hope Mr. Lin will think about it."

He Guanchang didn't force Lin Daoqiu to agree immediately, he felt that he had plenty of time, after all, Heyi was in a precarious moment.

And according to the news he inquired, it may not be long before it will explode.

Believe in the olive branch he is throwing out now, after He Yi's accident, Lin Daoqiu will definitely sign it if he is not a fool. He Guanchang is very confident in himself.
