Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 173 He is here

"How's it going?"

Wen Jun looked anxiously at Zheng Danrui who just came back from outside.

The reason why he was so nervous was because he asked Zheng Danrui to check the release time of "Drunken Master" and "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua".

Because the drama "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" has not yet finished, and it is only a few days away from November 11st.

If Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan's new play is selected to be released on November 11, then this matter will be tricky.

"I found it, I found it... Both dramas are scheduled for November 11."

In fact, the release time of the two films is not a big secret. After all, it is already the end of October, and you only need to do a little research to find out.

Wen Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and then he touched his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking about something serious.

"We still have plenty of time now, and we can still set aside eight days for post-production after the finale."

"I told you not to dawdle so long ago, wasting half a month in vain."

Zheng Danrui was angry when he said it. Originally, according to the normal filming speed, maybe the post-production has been completed now.

But after Wen Jun got the script, he pulled him to concentrate on adding jokes. In this way, it took them half a month to correct the script.

"Brother Qiu's script is not easy to change. He also said at the time that we can't change the plot of the movie just because we want to add jokes. What can I do?"

Zheng Danrui was also deeply touched when he heard it. It is too difficult to create a second time based on an already complete script and maintain the previous standard.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have taken them half a month to rework the script.

"Okay, okay, don't talk so much, let Zeng Zhiwei finish filming quickly."

Zheng Danrui waved his hand.

At this time, Zhong Fa happened to pass by their studio, and he felt very strange seeing Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui here.

He clearly remembered that these two guys should have gone to Treasure Island with Lin Daoqiu to film "Lotus Contest". How could they appear here?
"Awen, Ari, shouldn't you be in Treasure Island now? Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

As soon as the two of them saw Zhong Fa, they immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"It's nothing, Mr. Lin sent us back..."

Just as Zheng Danrui was about to speak, Wen Jun grabbed his sleeve suddenly.

"Li's work over there is too busy, so the TV station called us back."

Wen Jun's explanation did not match what Zheng Danrui said, and Zhong Fa immediately realized that these two guys were unwilling to tell the truth to him.

From what Zheng Danrui just blurted out, it seems that they were sent back by Lin Daoqiu.

"Oh, then you should be busy, next time we have a chance to drink tea together."

Zhong Fa felt baffled, he had such a good relationship with Lin Daoqiu, why should he keep it from himself?
But he was also embarrassed to ask, since the other party was unwilling to tell, then he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.

After Zhong Fa left, Zheng Danrui looked at Wen Jun with a puzzled expression.

"Why don't you let me say it, Ah Fa is not an outsider? What's there to be afraid of?"

"What he said is also a member of the Hong family class. If you accidentally tell Yuen Biao what they should do, I will drink tea with him after the incident and make amends."

Wen Jun was very defensive, he didn't want people from Hong's class to know that they were sent back by Lin Daoqiu to disrupt the situation.

But it's a pity that although these two guys are very tight-lipped, they have been on the set of Fushan Road for more than a month, and He Guanchang has already sent someone to watch them.

""Goodbye Wang Laowu"?"

Take a pen and write these five words on the paper. This is the news that He Guanchang sent someone to inquire about it before.

"Mr. He is worried that Lin Daoqiu actually filmed this movie?"

Sammo Hung would be lying if he said he was not nervous. Now "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" has been completed and is in the post-production stage. It will be released in the near future.

If Lin Daoqiu made a film at this time and released it with them, he didn't dare to think about what would happen then.

He Guanchang shook his head, he kept looking at those five words without even raising his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Sanmao, you can rest assured that even if Lin Daoqiu filmed it, when this movie will be released is not up to us at Golden Harvest."

The manager next to him had a confident expression on his face. After all, the right to schedule the film was in their hands.

No matter how powerful Lin Daoqiu is, he has to obey their arrangements obediently.

Sammo Hung felt right, even if Lin Daoqiu wanted to fight against them, Golden Harvest would not give him this chance.

"But the drama is about to wrap up."

He Guanchang suddenly said something that made Sammo Hung and the manager feel inexplicable.

Without letting the two of them think for too long, He Guanchang asked solemnly: "They didn't come to make an appointment, and second, they didn't come to apply for a slot. Why do you say that is?"

Sammo Hung thought it was strange at first, but with a shrewd mind, he figured it out immediately.

"Mr. He means that this movie is not going to be screened in Golden Harvest, but they plan to show it in Shaw Cinemas?"

Apart from this possibility, Sammo Hung really couldn't think of any other explanation.

But this is too strange. It stands to reason that they are not members of Shaw Brothers, and it is the most reasonable way to bring the film to Golden Harvest for release.

After all, Shaw's guarantee fee is expensive, and the best schedule will only be arranged for Shaw's movies.

So basically there are no independent producers who will take the film to Shaw Brothers.

What makes He Guanchang puzzled is, if Lin Daoqiu wants to fight against the stage, why doesn't he make a kung fu comedy?Instead, I made such an urban romantic comedy.

Does he think that this drama can beat Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan's new drama?This guy is too arrogant.

My head hurts just thinking about it, and He Guanchang couldn't figure out whether Lin Daoqiu made this movie.

"How about I go and find out about them?"

The manager next to him suddenly volunteered to stand up.

He Guanchang just glanced at him, then shook his head.

"No need, it's a done deal now, whether Lin Daoqiu made it or not, in the end it all depends on the quality of the movie itself."

After hearing this, Sammo Hung and the manager also felt that what He Guanchang said was right.

Originally, they were ready to put this matter aside and ignore it.

But at this time, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, saying something that shocked the three people present.

"A phone call came from the studio, saying that Lin Daoqiu suddenly appeared on the Fushan Road studio."

When He Guanchang heard this, he stood up from his chair, and even Sammo Hung next to him opened his eyes wide.

If they were just guessing before, they are now [-]% sure that "Goodbye Wang Laowu" must be written by Lin Daoqiu.
