Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 55
"A Biao, Mr. Lin is here, do you want to go over and say hello?"

As the leading actor, Yuen Biao naturally couldn't miss the celebration banquet. After all, this was his first starring role in a movie, and he got such a good result. If he didn't come, I'm afraid others would gossip.

Seeing Guo Youhua walking in from the door with Lin Daoqiu on his arm, the expression on Yuen Biao's face seemed a little unnatural.

Originally, the relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu was not bad, but because of Sammo Hung and He Guanchang's advice, Yuen Biao has never contacted Lin Daoqiu since "Master Qian" was finished.

Now he is already Golden Harvest's top niche, and not long ago, he received a signing fee of 100 million from He Guanchang. It can be said that he is now enjoying a prosperous life and is at the happiest moment of his life.

As for this Lin Daoqiu who had shown him kindness, Yuen Biao still felt a little guilty towards him, but in the end he shook his head.

"Forget it, Mr. Lin has so many guests to greet, so don't bother him."

After saying this, Lin Zhengying and the others next to him had already heard what Yuan Biao meant. Originally, Lin Zhengying was still thinking about whether he could help Yuan Biao and Lin Daoqiu ease the relationship between them.

After all, it was of no benefit to Yuen Biao to dodge like this. Lin Daoqiu was responsible for almost all of the success of "Master Qian".

Lin Zhengying thought about it, and persuaded Yuan Biao: "A Biao, anyway, if it weren't for Mr. Lin, we would definitely not be in such a good mood now, and we should go and say hello to him."

When Yuan Biao heard it, he felt that what Lin Zhengying said seemed to be correct. He was just about to nod his head in agreement, but the members of the Hong family class next to him were not happy.

"Aying, what you said is wrong. This film can sell more than [-] million box office because of our Hong family team. What did he do? He doesn't do anything on the set, hmph..."

"Abai is right. In fact, I have wanted to say it a long time ago. This play has half a dime relationship with Lin Daoqiu. He didn't write the script, and he didn't invest in the money. He mixed it up into a tens of millions. Great producer, it's ridiculous."

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu was invited by Li to be the producer, some guys in Hong's class were extremely jealous. They felt that Lin Daoqiu could get into this way without doing anything on the set, which made them both envious and jealous.

Yuan Biao had already planned to say hello to Lin Daoqiu, but when he heard what the Hong family brothers said, he couldn't help thinking about the situation at that time, and it seemed that it was indeed similar to what they said.

Lin Zhengying gave those guys a hard look first, and then turned around to look at Yuen Biao. He thought it was strange, and it was fine if others didn't know, but shouldn't Yuen Biao know the most?

How could he believe what those guys said? This really made Lin Zhengying feel unable to understand what Yuen Biao was thinking.

"Okay, let's have a drink, and we'll be there when we toast later." Yuan Biao turned his head away from Lin Daoqiu's side, he seemed to have made up his mind not to have any contact with Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Zhengying shook his head regretfully. He had already persuaded the other party, but there was nothing Yuen Biao could do if he didn't listen to him. After all, the other party was not as easy to talk to as before.

Now he seems to be the No. [-] figure in the Hong family class, and even Sammo Hung thinks so, so Yuen Biao naturally doesn't take Lin Daoqiu seriously.

"Nowadays people fly out when their wings are hardened, and they forget who put them on them in the first place."

Wen Jun, who was sitting at the same table with Lin Daoqiu, muttered in a low voice, the person he was talking about was naturally Yuen Biao.

Only then did Lin Daoqiu realize that Yuan Biao had also come, and he got up and said to Guo Youhua, "Come with me and have a chat with them."

Guo Youhua nodded obediently, picked up the wine glass and prepared to go with Lin Daoqiu, but Wen Jun stopped him and said, "Brother Qiu, why bother with those ungrateful guys, they should come over to toast."

"It's not good for you to think like this. Yuen Biao is still cooperating with you in his new play. If he finds out that you have objections to him, then you won't be able to be a screenwriter."

To be on the safe side, He Guanchang recruited Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun as screenwriters for Yuen Biao's new play. He did this in order to replicate the success of "Master Qian".

Wen Jun said with a look of disdain: "He can treat brother Qiu like this today, and he can treat me and A Rui like this tomorrow. It's better for me to stay away from such a person."

The good old Zheng Danrui could only smile wryly at the side. In fact, he also had some opinions on Yuen Biao, but he didn't dare to say it out. After all, he was just a newcomer.

"Ms. Guo is still affectionate and righteous, unlike those white-eyed wolves who really think that they are great. When his new movie is released, he might be deflated."

When Guo Youhua heard this, he simply lowered his head silently, and even felt his pretty face was a little hot, because she seemed to have done the same thing as Yuen Biao.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that Wen Jun was just complaining, but hearing what he said, Lin Daoqiu felt something was wrong.

"Wait here for me." After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking to Guo Youhua, he pulled Wen Jun up and walked out quickly.

When he came to a place where no one was around, he let go of his hand and said with a serious face, "What did you do?"

"I... I didn't do anything." Wen Jun's eyes faltered, as if he was deliberately avoiding Lin Daoqiu's eyes.

"Speak out quickly before you get into trouble, or I won't wipe your ass for you when the time comes."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Jun's expression and knew that he must have buried something in Yuen Biao's new play, but the other party hasn't discovered it yet.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that a greedy Inspector Le is arranged in the film. The filming of Inspector Le's role has already finished and they didn't realize it. It must be fine."

Lin Daoqiu immediately opened his eyes wide when he heard this, he didn't expect Wen Jun to be so courageous, to play such a game.

The money-greedy Inspector Le he arranged should be a metaphor for Lu Le, the former Chief Inspector of the Criminal Investigation Division who was wanted by the ICAC for corruption and fled to Baodao.

Lin Daoqiu never expected Wen Jun to be so courageous. Although Lu Le was wanted, he still had some prestige in Hong Kong. Even Jiahe didn't dare to flirt with a tiger's beard. How dare a small screenwriter like him play like this? It's courting death.

"You can hide it from Sammo Hung and the others. Do you think you can hide it from He Guanchang and those old foxes? Then they will find the problem as soon as they look at it. Now hurry up and call He Guanchang and say that you are worried that someone will misunderstand, so go immediately."

Wen Jun didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, he also realized that he seemed to be playing too cleverly.

"I'll go right now." Only then did Wen Jun realize the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly followed Lin Daoqiu's request to call He Guanchang to explain.

Shaking his head, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't understand how Wen Jun would use such a stupid way to take revenge on Yuen Biao. Even if he succeeded in the end, it would not be long before he got to Baodao to pour tea for someone and confess his mistake.

When Lin Daoqiu came back, Guo Youhua didn't ask him what happened, because she believed that Lin Daoqiu must have a way to solve it.

"Let's toast in the past." Lin Daoqiu's words sounded easily misunderstood.

"What are you talking nonsense, who is going to toast with you, don't talk nonsense." Guo Youhua heard the ambiguity in Lin Daoqiu's words, and she was so ashamed that her face started to flush.

Seeing Guo Youhua's shy face, Lin Daoqiu finally came to his senses, he laughed and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm afraid someone is thinking wrong."

Guo Youhua was anxious to raise her powder fist as if to strike, but she just raised it, and immediately realized that there were many guests around, and her action could easily be misunderstood, so she quickly put her hand down again.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll be really angry." Although Guo Youhua said so, he obediently accompanied Lin Daoqiu to Yuan Biao's table in the end.

　It's Friday again, will there be any recommendations at two o'clock?I'm looking forward to it, even though I know it's impossible!It's only been the first week!Strange, how happy I am, hahaha I'm not crazy! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
