Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1386 Solicitation
"I don't have a fixed place for the time being. I have submitted drafts to many film companies during this period of time, but I haven't heard back."

Wang Jiawei had no choice but to drop Lin Daoqiu to make up a lie.

Even if the other party finds out by then, he can reason that it was Di Bao who later took a fancy to his script, that's why he cooperated with the other party.

Anyway, at this moment, Wang Jiawei would never dare to say in front of Lin Daoqiu that he had contacted Di Bao and even wanted to cooperate with them.

He was already surprised that Wang Jiawei didn't answer Lin Daoqiu's question immediately.

After hearing Wang Jiawei's answer, Lin Daoqiu knew immediately that the other party must be lying in front of him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have put on a very embarrassed look just now, racking his brains over how to answer.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to expose him, because Lin Daoqiu really didn't have much interest in Wang Jiawei.

It's not that the movies made by this guy can't make money, so Lin Daoqiu doesn't like him.

It's because Wong Kar Wai's filming is not only a waste, it's even time consuming.

Even if there is a written script for him at the beginning, he can completely use it during the shooting, and then re-edit it to make the movie he wants.

Although the final effects are appreciated by those professional filmmakers, there are actually not many people who can appreciate Wong Kar-wai's films, as can be seen from the box office revenue of his films.

If it is to win awards, it is absolutely correct to find Wong Kar Wai to film.

But if you want to get a good box office, then compared with Wong Kar Wai, Lau Zhenwei is obviously a better choice.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, Liu Zhenwei can be regarded as the chef of a food stall, he cooks whatever ingredients are available, and he will never fail to shoot because the ingredients are not good enough.

In the previous life, Wong Kar-wai once cheated investors because of "Evil and West Poison".

Later, it was Liu Zhenwei who stood up to support him, gathered the actors of "Evil, West, and Poison" together, and made a classic comedy "East and West" in less than a month.

On the other hand, the box office performance of "Evil and West Poison" filmed by Wong Kar-wai is simply not comparable to that of "East and West".

"Screenwriter Wang is still very capable, but I haven't encountered a good time yet. I believe you will be able to shine in the future."

Lin Daoqiu did not intend to recruit Wong Kar Wai, let alone join New Oriental again.

Since he couldn't stay at the beginning, it was impossible for him to invite him back to New Oriental or New Art City.

But for Liu Zhenwei next to Wang Jiawei, Lin Daoqiu was quite interested in recruiting him.

"I don't know where Mr. Liu has been in high school recently?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned the topic to Liu Zhenwei.

Liu Zhenwei originally thought that a big man like Lin Daoqiu would not cast his eyes on him, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to talk to him.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I have been looking for a job, but many companies think that I am not capable enough, so I haven't found a suitable job yet."

Liu Zhenwei wanted to find a job as a screenwriter, but he had looked for a lot of companies, big and small, but none of them liked him.

"If that's the case, why not go to Dongfang TV and try it out. The screenwriting department over there is recruiting people. I believe that Mr. Liu's ability will definitely be competent for the TV screenwriting job in the future, and he can transfer to New Oriental to work in the future."

Lin Daoqiu did not immediately recruit Liu Zhenwei to New Oriental, but asked him to go to Dongshi to stay for a while.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't have any doubts about Liu Zhenwei's ability, it's good to let it go for a while.

Originally, Liu Zhenwei thought that when Lin Daoqiu called them over today, the main topic should be Wang Jiawei's body, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly threw an olive branch at him.

The stunned Liu Zhenwei looked at Lin Daoqiu, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Wang Jiawei next to him looked at Liu Zhenwei in surprise, and it seemed that he was also shocked by Lin Daoqiu's sudden olive branch to his good brother.

"What's the matter? Does Mr. Liu have any concerns?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Liu Zhenwei suspiciously.

Hearing what the other party said, Liu Zhenwei quickly shook his head.

"No... nothing. Since Mr. Lin said so, then I would be more respectful than obedient. I can go to work at Dongshi tomorrow."

Being able to join Dongshi is definitely not a bad thing for Liu Zhenwei. After all, he has been looking for a job for a long time, and no one is willing to hire him until now.

Apart from work related to film and television, Liu Zhenwei doesn't have much interest in other jobs.

He would only consider changing careers unless he had no choice, otherwise, as long as he could engage in film and television related industries, he would still be happy to accept it.

"Don't be in such a hurry, at least you have to wait until this year is over to say, I'll give you a call, and then you can report to him."

Lin Daoqiu wrote Wen Jun's phone number to Liu Zhenwei, and the other party immediately took it respectfully, and then carefully put it in his coat pocket.

This meal, Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei ate very cautiously. After all, in front of Lin Daoqiu, it was hard for them to let go.

After finally finishing their meal, Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei bid farewell to Lin Daoqiu.

After walking out of the restaurant, Wang Jiawei heaved a sigh of relief.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone out today. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lin here."

From Wang Jiawei's point of view, meeting Lin Daoqiu here was a very bad thing. Fortunately, he was clever and didn't tell about the matter with Di Bao just now, otherwise he was afraid that disaster would be imminent.

After Wang Jiawei finished speaking, he suddenly felt very strange, because Liu Zhenwei next to him didn't say a word.

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Jiawei patted the opponent's shoulder, which shocked Liu Zhenwei.

"Chixian, why are you patting me so hard, are you trying to scare people to death?"

Liu Zhenwei glared at Wang Jiawei.

"And I wasn't in a daze either. In fact, I was thinking about when to call Wen Jun."

"Didn't Mr. Lin say that he would go to work after the new year? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Jiawei couldn't understand why Liu Zhenwei was in such a hurry to go to work, Lin Daoqiu was talking about it after the New Year.

"Mr. Lin, that's just a polite word. If I really delay going to work until the end of the year, then people will definitely say that I have no brains. If I go early, doesn't it appear that I am active? Cut."

Wong Kar Wai shook his head while listening, he really couldn't figure it out, he just got a scriptwriter for a TV station, why is Lau Chun Wai so happy?
