Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 49 Princess Jiahe
"Yuen Biao has never been a starring role before, but his first film took tens of millions of dollars at the box office. I wonder what Mr. Mak thinks?"

Lin Daoqiu's words immediately made Mai Dangxiong speechless. If it was him, he would never let a newcomer play the leading role.

But he was not willing to give up just like this. McDonald felt that at least he had to find someone well-known to play the role of Ip Man, instead of using Lin Zhengying, who was almost a newcomer.

"There are still many differences between TV dramas and movies. I don't deny that Mr. Lin is very successful in movies, but with my many years of experience in TV dramas, Lin Zhengying is really not suitable."

Mai Dangxiong's attitude is very firm, he wants to persuade Lin Daoqiu to give up letting Lin Zhengying play Ip Man.

Lin Daoqiu and Mai Dangxiong's personalities are actually very similar, but one is shown on the face and the other is hidden in the heart, but they are actually the same stubborn.

"Mr. Mai is too arbitrary. You think that Lin Zhengying is not good just based on your own guesswork. Forgive me for not being able to accept your opinion."

Lin Daoqiu is the producer of this drama, and Mai Dangxiong is only here to assist him. He can accept the other party's opinions, or he can ignore what Mai Dangxiong said.

Unexpectedly, before the filming of the filming started, the two had disagreements, which probably did not bode well for the film "Ip Man".

It seems that he should not mess up the relationship with Lin Daoqiu. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Mai Dangxiong can only choose to bow his head to the other party temporarily.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, then let's tentatively choose Lin Zhengying as the leading actor. If he is not suitable at that time..."

Before Mai Dangxiong finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu stopped suddenly, then turned his head and looked at him seriously.

"Boss Huang said when he approached me at the beginning, I can decide what to do with the filming, and Li's staff will cooperate unconditionally. That's why I agreed to take over these three films."

Mai Dangxiong didn't expect Lin Daoqiu's attitude to be so firm. He originally planned to find a way to change Lin Daoqiu in the future, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

Don't say it's a replacement, I'm afraid there is no room for him to speak in this drama. With such a young and frivolous guy on the stage, Mai Dangxiong feels that he is really unlucky.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lin can shoot whatever he likes. It seems that I don't need me anymore, so I wish Mr. Lin the best of luck." Mai Dangxiong simply threw up his hands and decided to ignore the film.

Lin Daoqiu never thought of forcing Mai Dangxiong to join the creation of this play, after all, their personalities seem to be mutually exclusive.

If Lin Daoqiu was that kind of good guy, he might have had a great time working with McDonald, but unfortunately he is not.

"In this case, Mr. Mai can go to work. I'll let Ari take me around." Lin Daoqiu turned around and left after finishing speaking.

Seeing the back of Lin Daoqiu leaving, Mai Dangxiong shook his head helplessly. He felt that he had to talk to Huang Xizhao about whether Lin Daoqiu should finish filming the three scenes.

Now he doubts whether Lin Daoqiu can make "Ip Man" a success. He even thinks that even if this movie does not hit the street, it may not get any good ratings.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that Zheng Danrui was in the screenwriting department on the third floor, and he went down the stairs to find it according to his previous memory.

When he came to a corner, he just walked over and suddenly saw a woman walking towards him.

Just when the two were about to pass each other, Lin Daoqiu saw each other's face clearly, and then he stopped immediately.

Miao Kexiu, who had just been signed by Li's to host a variety show, was about to go upstairs to the rehearsal when she suddenly found a young man looking at her motionlessly, which made her feel very funny.

But she was used to being looked at like this by people, especially men, so Miao Kexiu didn't think it was a problem.

"Miss Miao, please wait a moment." Miao Kexiu was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Daoqiu who had recovered.

In Bruce Lee's movies, Miao Kexiu can be said to be a well-deserved goddess. As long as you have watched "Fist of Fury" and "Way of the Dragon" starring Bruce Lee, you will definitely have an impression of her.

Back then, she could be said to be a goddess-level figure who was popular in Xiangjiang, and was called Princess Jiahe, but unfortunately, Bruce Lee's untimely death seemed to have taken away Miao Kexiu's good luck.

After Golden Harvest stayed until the contract expired, Miao Kexiu left Golden Harvest, and then moved between Baodao and Xiangjiang to film dramas, but there was no improvement.

Later, in order to support Jackie Chan, Luo Wei invited Miao Kexiu to film a few movies, trying to portray Jackie Chan as Bruce Lee's second, but unfortunately the box office was not very good.

"Is there something wrong?" Miao Kexiu turned her head and looked at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously. She didn't understand why the other party called her.

Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and said, "Ms. Miao, hello, my name is Lin Daoqiu. Nice to meet you here."

Miao Kexiu had never heard of Lin Daoqiu's name, so she thought she had met a movie fan. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, do you want me to sign it for you?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head and said, "Leave the signing aside for the time being. In fact, I want to ask Ms. Miao to do me a favor."

Miao Kexiu and Lin Daoqiu met for the first time, and the other party wanted to ask her for help, which made Miao Kexiu not very happy, after all, she didn't know each other.

If this was not Li's TV station, Miao Kexiu might have turned around and left.

"Miss Miao, don't get me wrong. Actually, I want to ask you to act as the heroine in my TV series." Lin Daoqiu saw Miao Kexiu's displeasure, so he quickly explained to the other party.

But Miao Kexiu didn't look happy at all after listening to it. Instead, she became more suspicious, because Lin Daoqiu looked too young, and he didn't look like a person capable of making TV dramas.

Maybe the other party just wanted to pursue her, so she just made up an excuse to get her attention. If this is the case, Miao Kexiu might disappoint the other party.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I don't accept drama invitations easily, so I'm afraid I can't be Mr. Lin's heroine. I have something to do, so excuse me."

After Miao Kexiu finished speaking, he turned his head and left. Lin Daoqiu wanted to catch up and explain to the other party, but he stopped suddenly just as he took a step out.

I'm afraid that the other party won't believe me even if I say it badly now, it's more practical to find someone to accompany me to meet her.

Mai Dangxiong was sorting out the script for today's shooting in the office. When he was concentrating on his work, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Mai Dangxiong, who just raised his head and had no time to reprimand him, was pulled up from the chair by Lin Daoqiu.

"Accompany me to meet someone." Lin Daoqiu said while pulling Mai Dangxiong away.

"Do you need to be so anxious, people won't run away, stop pulling, the handle is about to break..." Lin Daoqiu pulled Mai Dangxiong out of his office just like that.

On the way to find Miao Kexiu, when Mai Dangxiong learned that Lin Daoqiu wanted her to play Ye Wen's wife, he immediately showed a strange expression.

"Why did you think of letting Miao Kexiu play the heroine?" Mai Dangxiong wanted to understand Lin Daoqiu's thoughts. As for whether this candidate is good or not, he no longer intends to express his opinion.

"When I met her just now, after a closer look, I found that she was quite suitable, so I decided on the spot that it was her."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Mai Dangxiong suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Daoqiu with a shocked expression.

"That is to say, you never thought of asking her to be the heroine before, but just met by chance, so you gave her the role?"

Mai Dangxiong hoped that Lin Daoqiu would quickly deny his statement, otherwise he would really die of anger on the spot.
