Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 572 I won't accept your rent

If Hong Kong Cinemas hadn't been disbanded, Wang Jing could be said to be full of confidence in this "Unlucky Gambler".

He even thought about using "Unlucky Gambler" to hit the 2000 million box office.

But it is a pity that now Xiangjiang Cinemas has been disbanded, and "Unlucky Gambler" can only be screened in one theater in New Oriental.

Even if it hits big by then, the box office will not be able to exceed 2000 million, unless it sells really well, and it will be possible in an extra week.

So at this moment, Wang Jing didn't know how to answer when someone asked him such a question.

"Of course the more the better."

He casually said something perfunctory to the other party, in fact, Wang Jing now has no idea how much box office this drama will get at that time.

"Director Wang's last film "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" broke the box office of tens of millions. This time "Unlucky Gambler" will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

That guy originally had good intentions and wanted to flatter Wang Jing, but because of a few drinks, he seemed to have forgotten that Xiangjiang Cinemas had been disbanded.

At this moment, with only one New Oriental theater chain left, it is not so difficult for Wang Jing's "Unlucky Gambler" to break through the box office of 2000 million.

"I hope so... I hope so."

Wang Jing could only nod with a dry smile, but in fact he had already scolded that short-eyed guy several times in his heart.

In order not to embarrass Wang Jing, Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to chat with Chu Yuan.

"Does Director Chu have time recently?"

Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to ask Chu Yuan a question.

When the others heard Lin Daoqiu's question, they immediately fell silent.

When Chu Yuan heard Lin Daoqiu's question, he could more or less guess what the other party wanted to say, after all, Wang Jing had told him before.

"Since I left Shaw Brothers, I haven't filmed, but now I have a lot of time."

Before Chu Yuan spent 360 five days a year, more than [-]% of them were spent on the Clear Water Bay set.

I thought that I would be very happy when I was free.

It was indeed like this a few days ago. It was rare for Chu Yuan to live a leisurely life, but he couldn't stand it after a long time, because Chu Yuan was still a person who was used to being busy.

Chu Yuan was at a loss for letting him go all of a sudden, he was not used to it.

If it weren't for Wang Jing helping him to make a bridge this time, Chu Yuan might not even know what he should do in the future.

"Wang Jing introduced you to me before. He said that you have rich experience and are an all-round talent in film. If Director Chu doesn't mind, I hope you can come to New Oriental to help me."

Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to invite Chu Yuan, hoping that he could join New Oriental.

Chu Yuan didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so straightforward. Originally, he thought that Lin Daoqiu would turn a few corners and test his ideas before extending an invitation to him.

Even Chu Yuan thought that even if he couldn't get the position of director at first, he wouldn't mind being an assistant director first.

"Thanks to Mr. Lin who thinks highly of me, I will do my best."

Chu Yuan didn't twitch, or put on a look that I want to think about it, but directly agreed.

After all, his thinking now is also very simple, he just hopes that he can devote himself to the shooting work as soon as possible.

Moreover, New Oriental has already absorbed many Shaw Brothers cast and crew. Once I join New Oriental, I can seamlessly integrate with them and get started very quickly.

"Congratulations to Director Chu, so we can work together again in the future."

When Ti Lung heard this, a happy expression immediately appeared on his face, and David Jiang and others beside him nodded repeatedly.

After all, these people have worked together for many years and have cultivated a good understanding. If possible, they certainly hope to continue to cooperate with Chu Yuan.

…………

After the finale banquet, Lin Daoqiu took Zhong Chuhong and left the restaurant.

Because of drinking some wine, Zhong Chuhong's little face was a little flushed, and she looked extraordinarily cute.

"Why is Brother Qiu looking at me like this?"

Zhong Chuhong found it strange that Lin Daoqiu seemed to be staring at her all the time.

"Because you are beautiful."

Lin Daoqiu explained with a smile.

When Zhong Chuhong heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.

But soon, Zhong Chuhong automatically put her head on Lin Daoqiu's shoulder.

During this period of time, when she was filming on the set, Zhong Chuhong could more or less hear the previous rumors.

Especially after the disbandment of Xiangjiang Cinemas, she was even more worried about Lin Daoqiu.

Before, she had never been able to find a chance to ask Lin Daoqiu these things.

"Brother Qiu, are you alright?"

Zhong Chuhong didn't know how to ask, she wanted to comfort Lin Daoqiu.

After all such a big thing happened, she felt that she should care more about Lin Daoqiu.

Even if it can't help him, at least let him relax a little bit.

"Of course I'm fine. Why don't I be nice in front of you?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't understand what Zhong Chuhong's words meant.

"No, I mean... are you in a good mood recently?"

Zhong Chuhong asked carefully, she was worried that if she asked too much, it would make Lin Daoqiu unhappy.

"My mood recently? I've always been in a good mood, and seeing a beautiful woman like Ah Hong, I believe that any man will be in a good mood."

Although Lin Daoqiu said this, he actually knew that Zhong Chuhong wanted to comfort himself, but she didn't know what to say, so she talked about these things.

Zhong Chuhong felt that she was about to lose to the other party, but from Lin Daoqiu's tone, she could more or less feel that the other party didn't seem to be affected by those things.

"Brother Qiu, I'm not very good at talking, but I hope you can be happy every day, because I heard people say that people who are often angry tend to age quickly."

I don't know where Zhong Chuhong heard these words, but Lin Daoqiu was very happy that she could say these words to herself.

"Don't worry. I've been in a good mood recently. You don't need to worry about me. If I really go bankrupt, I'll move to your house and let you support me in the future."

Lin Daoqiu did not forget that last time when Zhong Chuhong heard that she had a conflict with Bao Shaogang and thought she was going bankrupt, she was so anxious to take out all the money and sell the house to pay off her debts.

It can be seen from these things that Zhong Chuhong is definitely a person who values ​​love and righteousness.

Lin Daoqiu felt that he was very lucky to be favored by Zhong Chuhong.

"Okay, if brother Qiu really goes bankrupt one day, then I'll let you live in the living room. At most, I won't charge your rent, hehehe..."

After Zhong Chuhong finished speaking, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

But Zhong Chuhong found that after she finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu didn't answer her, and she thought she might have said something wrong.

When Zhong Chuhong raised her head and was about to ask a question, Lin Daoqiu's face was already in front of her.
