Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Knock the side drum

"Why do you guys find me out for tea when you have time, and if you don't have anything to do, you can be courteous or steal."

Wang Jing received a call from Tsui Hark to invite him to drink tea, and it just so happened that he came over directly because he had nothing to do right now.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tsui Hark, Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei, and Teddy Robin sitting inside. Wang Jing suddenly realized that today's tea did not seem very good.

"It's been a long time since everyone got together, and it just so happens that today I have time, so I invited Director Wang Da out to drink tea and chat."

Zeng Zhiwei replied with a smile.

But Wang Jing didn't believe what the other party said. Although everyone usually has a good relationship, the relationship between him and the people in New Art City is not so warm. Compared with their relationship with Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, they are relatively good. it is good.

"It's really that simple?"

Wang Jing looked around and smiled slightly.

Tsui Hark and the others glanced at each other, then nodded.

Since the other party didn't want to talk about Wang Jing, he didn't force it. Anyway, they would talk about it later, so he wasn't in a hurry.

I ordered a few cages of char siu buns, siu mai and shrimp dumplings, and Wang Jing savored them with silk stocking milk tea.

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen Mr. Lin for a long time, how about you, Ah Jing?"

At this time Teddy Robin suddenly turned the topic to Lin Daoqiu.

Hearing what the other party said, Wang Jing immediately realized that the purpose of these guys finding him today must be to talk about things related to Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm the same as everyone else, nothing special. You didn't come here to ask me about Mr. Lin, did you? If so, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. What you can know is the same as what I know .”

It is obviously impossible for Wang Jing to say that he doesn't care about these things that have happened recently, but the problem is that he has also asked Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui several times, but the other party does not know what Lin Daoqiu is planning. It is even more impossible to disclose any news to him over there.

Until recently, the incidents of Huilong, Xin'an, and Tianxing made Wang Jing feel very uneasy. If Fei Peng really attacked Lin Daoqiu and finally drove Lin Daoqiu out of Xiangjiang, then as Lin Daoqiu's I am afraid that people's life in the Xiangjiang film industry will not be easy in the future.

Fortunately, just when everyone thought that Fei Peng was about to attack Lin Daoqiu, the market suddenly calmed down. Even Wu Siyuan went to Hanguo to expand his business, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe also died down, and everything suddenly returned to normal The calmness, which really makes people unable to understand what happened.

"Don't you wonder what's going on now?"

Zeng Zhiwei moved closer and asked Wang Jing in a low voice.

Wang Jing wanted to nod, but he turned his head and glanced at Zeng Zhiwei, and then said, "Smack it, smack it."

"I'm also curious, how about Zhiwei, you can help me clear up my confusion, what's going on outside now?"

"If I know, why bother to ask you? I brought you here to think of a way together. I asked someone to ask Mr. Lin what's going on right now. It will be the end of the year soon. After the Spring Festival is over, The new year is about to begin, and the plan for next year is going to be made now, but everyone has no idea how to do it."

Compared with Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark and Huang Baiming are obviously the two most nervous, because they have to arrange the filming plan for the new art city and the studio for next year. If they don't understand the current situation, if something goes wrong next year, they will make the filming plan It will definitely be greatly affected, but their money will be lost.

If the situation doesn't improve next year, then they will definitely reduce the number of films to be filmed, and the production fee will definitely have to be cut a few dollars. After all, under such circumstances, it is impossible for someone to be stupid enough to invest a lot of money in filming. If something goes wrong, their wallets will be greatly reduced.

"I don't have any news here. If I knew, I wouldn't hide it from you."

Wang Jing told the truth, everyone was in the same boat at this time, he couldn't hide it at this time, and it didn't do him any good.

It seemed that Wang Jing would say this long ago, Zeng Zhiwei did not refute him, but suggested to Wang Jing.

"Among us, Wen Junhe, A Rui and Mr. Lin have the best relationship. If we can ask them to help us find out the news, I believe there should be no problem. This is related to everyone's preparations for next year. , is not a trivial matter."

"You guys brought me here today because you want me to talk about it?"

"What is the relationship between Wen Jun and A Rui and Mr. Lin? Even if Mr. Lin is unhappy, he will only say a few words about them at most, and will not be serious about them, but if we people ask, it will be a big problem. Once Mr. Lin has a bad opinion of us, it will be too late for us to cry."

"That's right, Ah Jing, please help me out. Everyone is in a panic right now. If this matter isn't settled, we won't be able to concentrate on filming. Among our group of people are you, Wen Jun, A Rui and the others. The relationship with you is the best, who else can we turn to if we don't ask you for help."

Zeng Zhiwei and others have been beating side drums. Wang Jing actually wanted to ask Lin Daoqiu, but he was not so courageous. He had asked Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui before, but their answers were perfunctory or simple. Find a way to get something out of their mouths.

But that's because Wang Jing didn't insist on asking, just asked casually, and he didn't have any reasonable reason to inquire about this kind of thing. If Lin Daoqiu found out that he just ran to ask questions out of curiosity, Then Wang Jing knew that he was in big trouble, after all, this was not a trivial matter, and it would be miserable if it caused Lin Daoqiu to be dissatisfied with him.

But now he has a very good excuse, which is to stabilize everyone's morale. If everyone is not interested in filming because of this incident, Lin Daoqiu will be affected in the end, so Wang Jing thinks this reason is very sufficient. Lin Daoqiu would not blame him even if he knew.

"Okay, okay, can you still refuse after being pestered by you? I'll call Ari right away."

Compared to Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui is obviously more talkative, and under the pressure of so many people, he will definitely not refuse. After all, A Rui is a kind person, as long as it does not involve Lin Daoqiu, he will basically respond to requests.

After Wang Jing finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and called Zheng Danrui.

At this time, Zheng Danrui was writing the script in the office. After receiving Wang Jing's call, he knew that Tsui Hark and others were still there. He thought it was a party, so he agreed to participate without thinking too much. After all, everyone hadn't gathered together for a long time. Therefore, Zheng Danrui readily agreed to the invitation of Tsui Hark and others.
