Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 120
"Don't scare people."

Seeing that Chen Yulian was looking at Zhong Fa in surprise, Lin Zhengying quickly elbowed him to stop talking nonsense.

Zhong Fa smiled, but he didn't take it seriously: "Mr. Lin is my benefactor, since he asked, of course I have to tell the truth."

Earning 20 yuan in two months was a big shock to Chen Yulian, and Zhong Fa was not even playing the leading role.

She has seen the movie "Master Qian", and even a few later movies, in which Chen Yulian also met Zhong Fa's villain.

But she never expected that a person who plays a supporting role and is also a villain can earn so much money.

"Miss Chen, since Mr. Lin has taken a fancy to you, I'm afraid it won't be long before you become popular in Hong Kong like Miss Guo."

It sounds like Zhong Fa is boasting that Lin Daoqiu is very good, but this sentence always makes people feel that there is something wrong.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't speak."

Lin Zhengying quickly explained: "What he meant was that Mr. Lin has a very good eye, and the actors he likes will definitely be popular."

"That's what I mean." Zhong Fa hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Chen Yulian didn't know what to say, she could only stand there and nodded silently.

After the two of them chatted with Lin Daoqiu for a few words, Lin Zhengying took Zhong Fa and left, seemingly not wanting to disturb Lin Daoqiu and Chen Yulian.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhong to be so interesting, and he and him are almost two people in the movie."

Chen Yulian, who had only seen Zhong Fa in movies before, thought that Zhong Fa was also a very fierce person in real life at first, but she didn't expect him to look very kind.

"Actors act according to the script, and most of their personalities are different from the characters they play. You should be very clear about this."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Chen Yulian nodded in agreement.

The banquet was about to start, Lin Daoqiu took Chen Yulian, and sat down in an empty seat with two people.

But as soon as Lin Daoqiu sat down, Chen Yulian still stood there without moving, because there was a rare person at this table who she knew.

"Alian, why don't you sit down?" Lin Daoqiu asked, looking back at Chen Yulian who was still standing there.

Chen Yulian didn't know what to say, because just across from her was Fang Yathua's assistant Shi Wenyan.

At this time, the other party was looking at her with relish, with a half-smile expression on his face, which made Chen Yulian feel very embarrassed.

"So it's Miss Shi, by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet on being promoted to the artist director of Gao TVB."

Lin Daoqiu pretended to see Shi Wenyan at this time, but in fact he had spotted Shi Wenyan early in the morning, so he chose this table specially.

"Mr. Lin, you're being polite. It's a pity that I, the artist director, took up my post late. Otherwise, Alian wouldn't have been dug into Li's by you."

It seems that Shi Wenyan still has a grudge against Lin Daoqiu for poaching Chen Yulian away.

"Miss Shi was wrong. If it wasn't for me, you would still be a small assistant now, not the director who is in charge of the life and death of wireless artists. Speaking of which, you have to thank me and A-Lian."

Lin Daoqiu's words not only made Shi Wenyan confused, but even Chen Yulian couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu said that.

After letting Chen Yulian sit down, Lin Daoqiu explained: "If Alian hadn't been poached by Li's, those people would not have been fired, and Miss Fang would not have sent you to Wireless."

Lin Daoqiu's explanation was reasonable, and even if Shi Wenyan wanted to retaliate, he couldn't find a reason to fight back.

"Speaking of which, A-Lian and I are still your great benefactors, so you have to thank us."

How dare Chen Yulian ask Shi Wenyan to thank her, as long as the other party doesn't blame her, then she is already Amitabha.

She quickly pulled Lin Daoqiu by the corner of his clothes, telling him not to talk to Shi Wenyan, but Lin Daoqiu turned a blind eye.

As for Lin Daoqiu's eloquence, Shi Wenyan had already experienced it many times, so she didn't intend to continue to speak quickly with the other party.

"Then I'm here to thank you two."

Shi Wenyan raised the glass in her hand, raised her head to finish the beer in the glass after speaking.

Chen Yulian didn't dare to be negligent, she was about to pour herself a glass, and returned a glass to the other party.

But when she was about to get the wine, Lin Daoqiu stopped her.

"Miss Shi is thanking us, not toasting, so you don't have to be too polite."

Chen Yulian didn't know what to do, but since Lin Daoqiu said so, she had no choice but to take her hand back.

"Alian, if you are unhappy in Li's in the future, you are welcome to come back to Wireless at any time."

In front of Lin Daoqiu, Shi Wenyan deliberately said these things to Chen Yulian, just to make Lin Daoqiu more difficult.

However, Lin Daoqiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is too young to fight him with Shi Wenyan's means.

"A-Lian has already been regarded by Li's as the future head of the family. I'm afraid Miss Shi's wish will not come true."

"Really? But I don't think that's necessarily the case. Maybe A-Lian thinks that going back to wireless is a better choice for her? After all, this kind of thing is uncertain."

Shi Wenyan seemed to have changed since she became the artist director, her temper and personality became more and more arrogant.

It seemed that breaking away from Fang Yathua's control allowed her to return to her original nature, or maybe she had been suppressed by Fang Yathua's side for too long, and now she took this opportunity to release her.

"I agree with what Ms. Shi said. Maybe in the future TVB's artists think that Li is pretty good and choose to switch jobs, such as Wang Mingquan, Zhao Yazhi, Zheng Shaoqiu, Huang Xingxiu and so on."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly expanded the scope of the attack to include the popular Xiaosheng and Huadan of Wireless.

However, what Shi Wenyan said to Lin Daoqiu was almost a threat, and she was not worried at all.

Because she felt that it was only with her help that Lin Daoqiu was able to poach Liu Songren away before, otherwise he would not have been able to poach Liu Songren away so easily.

Now that he has become TVB's artist director, it is impossible for him to poach anyone, unless Fang Yihua is willing to nod.

Without her own help, it would be absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to do this, and she is very confident about it.

"If Mr. Lin has the ability, you can try it. I will be waiting for you at any time."

Even before the banquet started, Lin Daoqiu's table was already showing a tense atmosphere.

The few unrelated people nearby felt that they had earned a lot of money by participating in this celebration banquet. After all, seeing such a good show was something that could only be met but never sought after.

As if unwilling to let others see the joke, the duel between Lin Daoqiu and Shi Wenyan subsided, but because of this, the two of them never said a word to each other again.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the scene. Lin Daoqiu turned his head and found several people walking in from the direction of the door.

He recognized He Guanchang at a glance, and the boss of Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai, who was walking in front of him.

From being a traitor of the Shaw Brothers to now overwhelming the Shaw Brothers and becoming the most famous film company in Xiangjiang, it can be said that Zou Wenhuai's life experience is full of legend.
