Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 193 Admitting Mistakes
A lot of guests came tonight, most of them were invited by Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun.

But a small part came uninvited, such as Yuen Biao is one of them.

The leading actor Zhong Zhentao couldn't make it back because he went to Baodao for filming, so he didn't attend tonight.

The reporters originally thought that Zhong Zhentao, who was the protagonist, would be there, and that Winner would show up together, but they missed it.

"Brother Qiu, I guess there must be nothing good for that boy Yuan Biao to come to you, so you must not promise him."

Wen Jun was obsessed with the previous events, and his attitude towards Yuen Biao was very unfriendly, almost obviously wanting to show the other party's face.

Even Zheng Danrui, who was next to him, nodded again and again. On this matter, he and Wen Jun were on the same side.

"The circle of Xiangjiang Films is actually not big. Everyone sees up and down, so there is no need to make things so rigid."

Lin Daoqiu is not as fussy as Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, after all, his current status is quite different from before.

It is completely unnecessary to continue to argue with Yuen Biao, and the other party is a good actor, it's a pity that he was born at an untimely time.

Before, I always played supporting roles for Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, and even if I acted as the leading role myself, my performance was not very impressive.

But I have to say that Yuen Biao's skills are absolutely nothing to say, and he is definitely not inferior to Jackie Chan in terms of fighting scenes.

It's a pity that his face is not as popular with the audience as Jackie Chan.

While Lin Daoqiu and Wen Jun were discussing Yuen Biao, at Yuen Biao's table, Lin Zhengying and the others were also discussing about Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin is really not such a stingy person. Since you are here, you should take the initiative to toast. Do you want Mr. Lin to toast you like last time?"

Lin Zhengying and Lin Daoqiu had a good friendship, so he could more or less see what kind of person Lin Daoqiu was.

Zhong Fa on the side also nodded again and again. As a professional villain, he is already well-known in the movie circle, thanks to Lin Daoqiu's promotion.

"A Biao, in fact, Mr. Lin really has nothing to say about him. If it were someone else, he would have turned against you long ago. With his current status, does he still need to curry favor with you?"

It's ridiculous that Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung thought that the sequel to "Master Qian" would not have been possible without them.

But what happened next surprised them.

First, "Ip Man" became popular in Xiangjiang and scored 75 ratings. You must know that it was broadcast on Li's TV station.

And I heard that when Lin Daoqiu was filming "Lotus Contest" in Baodao recently, he took the time to make a movie.

Although Yuen Biao couldn't remember the name of the play at the moment, it is said that in just over a week, it has already won the box office of 5000 million Taiwan dollars.

On the other hand, after the peak of "Master Qian", the box office of the movies he starred in began to plummet.

Although the two dramas are stable at around 500 million, it is foreseeable that with Jackie Chan joining Golden Harvest, his position in Golden Harvest may be reduced to second in the future.

If you don't want to be crushed to death by Jackie Chan, the only way is to ask Lin Daoqiu for help.

But even if the person has arrived here, Yuan Biao still has no way to say this to Lin Daoqiu.

"Why don't we go together."

Lin Zhengying also knew that Yuen Biao was embarrassed to face Lin Daoqiu alone, so he simply sent Buddha to the west and brought Yuen Biao there.

At least it won't be too embarrassing for someone to go there with him, Yuen Biao agreed after thinking for a few seconds.

"Brother Qiu, Ari and I have something to discuss with you."

While drinking, Wen Jun suddenly whispered something to Lin Daoqiu.

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and gave Zheng Danrui a wink.

"Ah... it's Brother Qiu like this. Brother Jun and I wrote a script after we finished filming "Goodbye Wang Laowu" while chatting."

When Lin Daoqiu heard it, it turned out that these two guys wanted to start a new show.

"Well, what kind of movie is it?"

"The name of this play is "Applause". It tells the story of a young man who loves music. After encountering setbacks, he finally finds himself through a singing contest."

Lin Daoqiu had never heard of this movie. After listening to Wen Jun's dictation of the plot, he thought it was very ordinary.

But seeing these two guys looking forward to it, Lin Daoqiu still planned to give them a try, anyway, this type of film would not cost much to shoot.

"How much budget do you need?"

"Three...20 is enough."

Wen Jun wanted 30 yuan at the beginning, but after thinking about it, he felt that this film did not plan to hire any famous actors, so 20 yuan would definitely be fine.

"I'll give you 25 yuan, and I'll take it with dim sum."

Although Lin Daoqiu needs money very much now, he agreed to play Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui without thinking too much.

"Thank you Brother Qiu, we will definitely work hard."

In fact, this "Applause" was originally written by Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, but it was released in 1980, and it won nearly 300 million box office at that time.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui don't know that this youth literary film can be so popular.

Even Lin Daoqiu planned to lose money at the beginning.

And at this moment, Lin Zhengying brought Yuan Biao to Lin Daoqiu's table.

"Ahjun, Ari, congratulations, I'll do it here as a respect."

Lin Zhengying was not very good at chatting, so he directly drank the wine as a respect, picked up the glass and finished the wine in one gulp.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui saw that it was Lin Zhengying who was toasting them, so naturally they would not refuse, they stood up together and had a toast with Lin Zhengying.

But when Lin Zhengying finished drinking, everyone's eyes fell on Yuen Biao because he also held a cup in his hand.

"I didn't have time to attend the celebration banquet of "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" before, so here I borrow flowers to offer a cup to Mr. Xia."

What everyone around did not expect was that Lin Daoqiu stood up first, raised his cup and offered to toast Yuan Biao.

But just as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Yuan Biao shook his head quickly.

"No, no, Mr. Lin, let me call me A Biao. I have done a lot of wrong things before, and today I made a special trip to apologize to you. I can't speak, Mr. Lin, please forgive me."

After Yuen Biao finished speaking, he directly drained the wine in the glass, nodded to Lin Daoqiu, then turned around and left. It seemed that he felt ashamed to stay here.

But just as Yuan Biao turned around, Lin Daoqiu stopped him from behind before he could take a few steps.

"A Biao, don't leave in a hurry, since you're here, let's sit down and have a few drinks together."

"Mr. Lin has already said that, if you still leave, you won't give him face."

At this time, Zhongfa also came over. After hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, he stepped forward to block Yuan Biao's way, and pulled him back.
