Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 8

Asking the Dongnan brothers to wait in the car, Lin Daoqiu only took Wen Jun to the administrative building of Shaw Corporation.

After entering, Lin Daoqiu came to the front desk lady and said, "Hello, I want to see the director of your drama department."

"What's the matter, sir?" The receptionist looked up at Lin Daoqiu and asked.

"I would like to invite artists from Shaw Brothers to make a movie."

"Do you have an appointment, sir?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. He didn't know anyone from Shaw Brothers at all, and Wen Jun was the same. It wouldn't be so troublesome to change to the later Wen Jun, but now he is just a little-known screenwriter.

It seems that this is not the first time that the receptionist has encountered such a situation. She smiled and said, "Both, please go to the drama department on the third floor to find Director Huang."

After Lin Daoqiu thanked the other party, he took Wen Jun to the third floor.

When going up the stairs, Lin Daoqiu told Wen Jun, "This time, you go and talk to him."

Wen Jun turned to look at Lin Daoqiu with a confused expression on his face. He didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu didn't talk about it by himself. He was just a newcomer with no experience.

Lin Daoqiu explained to Wen Jun: "You are Li's screenwriter, and I have no identity. If I go to talk, the other party will be somewhat worried."

When Wen Jun heard it, he felt that what Lin Daoqiu said was right, so he nodded quickly, but after walking a few steps, Wen Jun still hesitated and said, "But I don't know how to speak, what should I do if the conversation goes wrong? "

"Don't worry, with me by your side, you just need to follow the normal procedures. The bottom line is to lend her 2 yuan for a month." Lin Daoqiu whispered in Wen Jun's ear.

2 yuan to invite Guo Youhua to make a movie is a very reasonable price at this time. After all, the actors at this time are only thinking about how to perform their tricks well, and they have no other messy ideas.

But if it is placed in later generations, with the incident between her and Lin Jianyue last year, and the popularity of her being promoted as a couple with Leslie Cheung by Lidi, then Guo Youhua's worth may be multiplied many times.

After arriving on the third floor, Lin Daoqiu and Wen Jun asked about the office of the director of drama, they came to the door of the office, and then Wen Jun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Soon a man's voice came from inside, and after getting permission, Wen Jun and Lin Daoqiu pushed the door open and walked in.

Director Huang looked up and found that there were two strangers coming in. He looked at each other with a puzzled expression on their faces.

"Who are you two?" Supervisor Huang looked at them and asked.

"Hello, I'm Wen Jun, Li's screenwriter. I'm here this time to invite Guo Youhua to act in a movie." Wen Jun quickly explained to the other party what he wanted to do.

Director Huang was stunned for two seconds when he heard it, and then he let out a oh.

"Please sit down, both of you." Director Huang greeted Wen Jun and Lin Daoqiu to sit down, and then he poured a glass of water for them, but during the process of pouring water, Director Huang's mind was running rapidly.

It's not uncommon for people from other companies to invite Shaw Brothers actors to film, but why did they find Guo Youhua? You must know that she only played a role in "A Dream of Red Mansions" last year, not the protagonist.

Although there was a lot of confusion in his heart, Director Huang didn't show it. He put down the water and returned to his seat.

"I would like to ask Mr. Wen something presumptuous. Li's has a lot of actresses. Since you are Li's screenwriter, you should give priority to inviting them to play. Why did you suddenly find Miss Guo?"

Wen Jun quickly shook his head, "This play has nothing to do with Li's. After careful consideration, we decided that Ms. Guo is very suitable for the heroine of this play, so we invited her to participate."

It seems that Guo Youhua and Li's TV also have a lot of connections. After she went to RB to study, she was invited by Li's TV to host a TV show in Hong Kong the year before last, and she was also cast as Leslie Cheung's on-screen couple image last year.

Manager Huang couldn't hear too much information from Wen Jun's words, he only knew that this drama had nothing to do with Li's.

"May I know what movie Mr. Yaowen is filming?" Director Huang continued to ask.

"It's a kung fu movie." There's nothing to hide about this, even if they don't say it now, they will know when it's released.

At first, Director Huang thought that Wen Jun came to Guo Youhua to shoot mostly funny or modern urban comedy movies, but he didn't expect to ask her to make kung fu movies, which was very curious.

You must know that Guo Youhua does not know martial arts, and has never filmed any martial arts scenes, which can be seen in the sequel of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" she starred in later.

"Oh..." Director Huang nodded and didn't think much about it. He guessed that Guo Youhua was invited to play a vase-like role.

However, as mentioned above this year, we should focus on cultivating Guo Youhua to become a new generation of girl stars, so Director Huang is not very willing to agree to this loan agreement.

Wen Jun found that Director Huang was silent. He looked back at Lin Daoqiu, not knowing what to do now, but Lin Daoqiu just shook his head slightly, signaling him to calm down.

"It's a pity for both of you. Ms. Guo's schedule is full this year, and she really doesn't have time to go out for filming." Director Huang shook his head, refusing to go out to Guo Youhua.

But he was obviously lying, because apart from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes Sequel", which was released at the end of the year, Guo Youhua's other movies did not have many roles, and they were not fully booked as Director Huang said.

Moreover, the efficiency of filmmaking in Hong Kong is very high. Except for a few old guys on the Shaw Brothers studio who are striving for perfection, most of them can finish a film in a month.

Wen Jun became anxious when he heard it, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Daoqiu, as if waiting for him to make up his mind.

At this moment, Manager Huang had already seen that it was not Wen Jun who really made up his mind, but Lin Daoqiu behind him.

After entering the door, after Wen Jun introduced himself, Director Huang thought at first that Wen Jun was the one who really decided the matter, but he didn't expect that it would be the young man who came in with him.

"Director Huang, I just need to borrow Ms. Guo's time for a month. I believe it won't delay her filming other movies." Originally, Lin Daoqiu didn't want to come forward, but now that Director Huang had discovered him, he had no choice but to stand up. .

"I've already said that Ms. Guo's schedule is full, please go ahead." Director Huang was a little unhappy, he wanted to drive her away without even thinking about it.

I feel that I am looked down upon by Lin Daoqiu, if not, why would he hide behind instead of talking to myself from the beginning, this is obviously doing this because I look down on myself.

"As far as I know, Ms. Guo hasn't appeared in any other movies since she finished her role in Dream of the Red Chamber last year. Director Huang just said that Ms. Guo's schedule is up. It doesn't seem right."

"This is an internal secret of the company. You don't need to tell an outsider to know. I'm telling you once. Ms. Guo doesn't lend it out. If you don't leave, I will call security."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. This Director Huang's attitude was really bad. He and Wen Jun discussed with him nicely from beginning to end, and he actually treated them with this attitude.

"Director Huang, we really want to invite Ms. Guo to act in this play, please help me." Wen Jun could only beg the other party at this time.

Director Huang glanced at Wen Jun, and he said with disdain: "Okay, since you are so sincere, I can borrow 10 yuan for one month."

"10 yuan?" Wen Jun stood up from his chair immediately after hearing this.

It is no exaggeration to say that now 10 yuan can be used to make a movie, and spending 10 yuan to hire an actress is simply a fantasy. Director Huang is simply making things difficult for them.

"That's right. If you want to borrow Ms. Guo, you can, but you have to pay 10 yuan. If you can't afford it, then I can't help you." After the director Huang finished speaking, his face was full of pride. expression.
