Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 731 This Condition
Half an hour before the agreed time, Li Hanxiang rushed to the restaurant to wait for Lin Daoqiu.

He had already called Hu Jinquan before and told him everything.

Hu Jinquan originally thought about having dinner with Li Hanxiang at night, but he did not expect that he had already returned to Xiangjiang.

Hu Jinquan was very moved when he heard that Li Hanxiang was running around for his own affairs.

But on the phone, Li Hanxiang also told him something that made Hu Jinquan very tangled.

"Jin Quan, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is an excellent opportunity for you. At our age, it is very difficult to encounter such a good opportunity, so I hope you can grasp it well."

He had clearly rejected Lin Daoqiu, but what Li Hanxiang said meant that he wanted him to agree to Lin Daoqiu's conditions.

If it was someone else who said that to Hu Jinquan, he would refuse it without even thinking about it.

But the person who told him these things was Li Hanxiang, his sworn brother, and he really had to listen to what the other party said.

"Brother, I will listen to you."

The phone call didn't last long, and Hu Jinquan agreed without thinking too much.

Li Hanxiang was worried at first that Hu Jinquan would persist, but since he agreed, Li Hanxiang was relieved.

"It's best if you can figure it out."

While waiting for Lin Daoqiu, Li Hanxiang kept thinking about how to turn the conversation around.

A few minutes before the time agreed with Lin Daoqiu, there was a knock on the door outside the box, and after the waiter pushed the door open, Li Hanxiang had already stood up from his seat.

"Mr. Lin, this is Director Li Hanxiang Li."

In addition to Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing was also called to be an accompanying guest.

After all, he and Li Hanxiang had never met before, and if it was just the two of them, it would inevitably be a little embarrassing.

"Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Li Hanxiang."

Li Hanxiang immediately stepped forward, reached out and shook Lin Daoqiu's hand.

"I have admired Director Li for a long time, and I have seen quite a few of your films (that haven't been made yet)."

Li Hanxiang just smiled and said nothing. He has not been in Xiangjiang for the past two years, but secretly went north to prepare for a co-production.

Since Shaw Brothers disbanded last year, Li Hanxiang spent even less time in Xiangjiang.

But for the name Lin Daoqiu, Li Hanxiang can be said to be like thunder.

Lin Daoqiu looks as young as his own daughter, but he is already a tycoon in charge of the Xiangjiang film industry, which really makes him feel embarrassed.

After the three sat down, Li Hanxiang took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Lin Daoqiu.

"Uncle Xiang is too polite, just let me do these little things."

Although Lin Daoqiu was the youngest among the three, no one dared to regard him as a younger generation.

Li Hanxiang is the elder and Lin Daoqiu is the boss, so the matter of serving tea and wine naturally fell on Wang Jing's head.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me."

Li Hanxiang was worried before that if Lin Daoqiu didn't want to meet him, he didn't know what to do.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that in the end, Li Hanxiang will have to ask Uncle Six to help him make peace.

"Director Li is polite. In fact, I don't have any displeasure with Director Hu. On the contrary, I admire him very much. Although I don't have the opportunity to cooperate this time, I still hope to cooperate with Director Hu once in the future."

Lin Daoqiu originally thought that the reason why Li Hanxiang was anxious to see him was because he wanted to be a peacemaker, so before eating, he expressed his attitude so that Li Hanxiang could feel relieved earlier.

Sure enough, when Lin Daoqiu said this, Li Hanxiang immediately showed a happy smile on his face.

"I have long heard that Mr. Lin is open-minded, and seeing him today really lives up to his reputation. I would like to respect Mr. Lin."

After Li Hanxiang finished speaking, he picked up the glass and drank the wine in one sip.

After the three drank a glass, Li Hanxiang helped Lin Daoqiu fill another glass.

"I went to see Jin Quan yesterday, and he actually regretted it very much. He also said that if there is a chance, he hopes to make up for this regret."

Those who don't know Hu Jinquan will definitely be bluffed by Li Hanxiang's words.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, he didn't think what Li Hanxiang said was Hu Jinquan's real thoughts.

"Actually, if this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is directed by Director Hu, it will definitely complement each other, but it's a pity..."

This has to be said to be a pity, Lin Daoqiu just sighed casually.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Hanxiang had been waiting for Lin Daoqiu to say such a thing.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you can give Jin Quan another chance."

Li Hanxiang suddenly looked at Lin Daoqiu solemnly.

"What did Director Li say?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't understand what Li Hanxiang meant. Could it be that he wanted to give up the casting rights to Hu Jinquan?If this is the case, then I'm afraid I will disappoint Li Hanxiang.

"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong. I have already talked with Jin Quan carefully. He is willing to accept Lin Daoqiu's offer and take over the directorship of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Li Hanxiang looked at Lin Daoqiu eagerly, as if he was afraid that this opportunity would slip away.

"Did Director Hu not insist on changing roles?"

Although Lin Daoqiu had no expression on his face, he couldn't help being happy in his heart.

Although he didn't know how Li Hanxiang persuaded Hu Jinquan to accept his conditions, Lin Daoqiu was still happy to hand over "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Hu Jinquan as long as the other party could follow his request.

Li Hanxiang quickly shook his head.

"Originally Jin Quan was very persistent at first, but I told him that Mr. Lin is the author of this novel, and he must be the person who knows the play best. If this is the case, then the actor he selected must also be the most suitable."

Li Hanxiang secretly flattered Lin Daoqiu, but he was right in saying something.

Lin Daoqiu really sincerely wanted to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" a good one, so the roles he chose were carefully considered.

Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu could find the most famous actor to act in this play.

When he found himself talking, Lin Daoqiu had a slight smile on his face, and Li Hanxiang knew that what he just said touched Lin Daoqiu's heart.

"If Director Hu doesn't insist on changing roles, I can consider this movie and leave it to him to shoot."

I believe this is what Li Hanxiang most wants to hear from Lin Daoqiu.

"Then I would like to thank you..."

Li Hanxiang had just raised his glass, before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Daoqiu raising his hand.

"Director Li, don't worry. If Director Hu agrees to this condition, I will be able to hand over "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to him."

"I don't know what the conditions are?"

Li Hanxiang looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression.
