Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 7 The Woman Who Doesn't Love Money
"Sir, since you know that my surname is Guo, you should also know that I am an employee of Shaw Brothers. If you want to invite me to film, you should go to Shaw Brothers to talk to the person in charge, instead of blocking my way here. "

Although Guo Youhua has only one child, she has grown up on the set since she was a child, and has seen many more people and things than ordinary people. It is basically impossible for ordinary people to lie to her.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head: "Ms. Guo is worrying too much. The reason why I want to tell you this here is to ask for your opinion first."

"My opinion?" Guo Youhua was stunned for a moment, and only then did she start to look carefully at Lin Daoqiu.

The other party was wearing an ordinary set of shirt and trousers. His skin was a bit dark, but his face looked pretty, but he was a little too thin.

Looking at it this way, she really didn't believe that Lin Daoqiu was a person who could make movies. After all, he looked too young. Most people at his age were at most just handymen in the crew, so how could they possibly have the opportunity to make movies.

If Lin Daoqiu is a son of a rich family and wants to spend money to get close to him, then I am afraid Guo Youhua will disappoint him, because last year she was engaged to Lin Jianyue, the second son of Lin Baixin, a wealthy businessman in the city, but they broke off after a short while. engagement.

It is said that Lin Jianyue hoped to have a good wife who was willing to take care of her husband and children at home, but Guo Youhua insisted on seeking her own career in the entertainment industry, so the two broke off their engagement.

There is another rumor that Guo Youhua proposed to dissolve the engagement because he was unbearable to be abused and beaten, but this statement is a bit unreliable.

But no matter what kind of argument it is, it can be seen that Guo Youhua is not a woman who is greedy for vanity. If she really liked money, she would have been willing to marry into the Lin family as her second young mistress, and would not be working hard to make money as she is now. Movie.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm not interested in what you said. If you really want to ask me to make a film, please go to Shaw Brothers tomorrow to talk to the person in charge. If they agree, then I'm fine. I'll excuse you in advance."

At this time, Guo Youhua is still not familiar with Lin Daoqiu, so she will inevitably be wary of Lin Daoqiu, which is also understandable.

Guo Youhua talked about this, Lin Daoqiu could only shrug his shoulders: "If that's the case, don't bother Miss Guo, see you tomorrow."

Originally, Guo Youhua thought that Lin Daoqiu would continue to entangle, and she was even ready to call the bank security over, but she didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu was quite polite and didn't continue to entangle. Could it be that he really came to invite her to film?
When leaving, Guo Youhua shook her head with a wry smile, why should she care so much, if it is true or not, she will know tomorrow.

Watching Guo Youhua disappear from his sight, Lin Daoqiu curled his lips and showed a regretful expression.

He didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Guo Youhua, he just wanted to chat with the other party about the script, but it was a pity that Guo Youhua didn't give him this opportunity.

When he left the bank, Lin Daoqiu withdrew 5000 yuan. Although these were filming expenses, he only had a few dozen yuan with him now, and it was the money he got by pretending to be a cane-biting gang last night. What if he didn't have any money with him.

Just when Lin Daoqiu passed the glass window, he suddenly stopped and looked at himself reflected in the window.

The two Southeast brothers stood behind Lin Daoqiu. They didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly stopped and didn't leave, and they were still standing there looking at themselves in a daze?Is he a very narcissistic person?
"People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Let's go buy a few sets of clothes first to make up for ourselves." Lin Daoqiu muttered a few words in a low voice, then turned around and walked into the nearby shopping mall, and the Dongnan brothers quickly followed.

Money in this era is still very affordable. I bought three sets of clothes and shoes, plus two suits, and Lin Daoqiu spent a total of less than 2000 yuan.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that the Dongnan brothers would stop him when they saw him spending money like this, but he didn't expect that they didn't say a word, and even offered to help carry the bag.

"Mr. Lin should also change his clothes, otherwise it will be difficult for others to believe you. No wonder Miss Guo was so vigilant against you just now, just like guarding against thieves." A Dong was standing next to him just now. All heard.

Lin Daoqiu did not expect to meet a person who encouraged him to spend money. He was very satisfied with A Dong's statement. In order to reward them, Lin Daoqiu took Dongnan Brothers to find a famous hot pot restaurant at night, and the three of them went in and had a great meal.

Poor Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were desperately writing the script at this time, they didn't even bother to eat, they could only cook two bowls of noodles casually, and then continued to write the script with their heads down.

If they knew that Lin Daoqiu was feasting in the hot pot restaurant at this time, I don't know what these two people would think.

But it was in such a desperate state that in just one night, two-thirds of the script of "Master Qian" had been written, and the two already tired fell asleep on the table. It can be finished in one day.

The next morning, Lin Daoqiu called Wen Jun out of the house, because he was going to Shaw Brothers today to discuss Guo Youhua's loan contract. If no one accompanied him, he might not even be able to enter the door of Shaw Brothers. .

"Brother Qiu." Wen Jun didn't seem to wake up at a glance. He wrote the manuscript until the early morning last night, and he only slept for four hours until now, when he was woken up by Lin Daoqiu's phone call.

"Are you all right, didn't you guys sleep last night?" Lin Daoqiu didn't expect these two people to work so hard, and when he saw Wen Jun's eyes, he knew that he must have stayed up late last night.

"Brother Qiu, don't worry about us. If you hadn't thought out the plot well, we wouldn't even have a chance to work hard now." Wen Jun waved his hand with a look of indifference, because staying up late to write manuscripts was simply a waste of money for them. Everyday thing.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head with a wry smile. He couldn't say anything, but fortunately, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are still young, and it doesn't matter much to them to stay up all night. They can relax after finishing the draft .

"Brother Qiu asked me to come out, what's the matter? The first version of the script can be written today. If there is nothing urgent, I want to go back and write the script as soon as possible." Wen Jun is still thinking about the script at this time matter.

"You don't have to worry about the script, just let Ari take charge of writing it. Your task now is to find the heroine with me."

"Looking for a heroine? Who is it?" Wen Jun still doesn't know what kind of heroine Lin Daoqiu is looking for.

However, judging from the script dictated by Lin Daoqiu before, the heroine must be able to fight, and even if she can't fight, at least she must have dancing skills, otherwise this movie will be difficult to shoot.

"Don't ask so many questions, you will know when you go." Lin Daoqiu didn't tell Wen Jun who he was looking for, and Wen Jun didn't dare to ask more.

Lin Daoqiu asked Ah Dong to find a car to come over. If you always walk, you don't know how much time you will waste, and it would be too inconvenient if you don't have a car.

It wasn't until the car drove to the Shaw Brothers studio in Clear Water Bay that Wen Jun knew that Lin Daoqiu was looking for an actress from the Shaw Brothers, but even so he still couldn't guess who Lin Daoqiu was going to invite, after all, the Shaw Brothers There are many actresses.

"You should know Guo Youhua, the one whose stage name is Niuniu." Lin Daoqiu asked Wen Jun after getting out of the car.

"I know. When I first arrived at Li's the year before last, she was still hosting the show at Li's, but she returned to Shaw Brothers not long after. It turned out that Brother Qiu wanted to invite her." Wen Jun still knew about Guo Youhua.

Moreover, Guo Youhua and Lin Jianyue had such a big incident last year. At that time, the city was full of ups and downs. It was hard for Wen Jun not to know her, but after all, would she be willing to take over this drama?Wen Jun has great doubts about this.
