Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Tsui Hark, who was staring at the ceiling in a daze at home, didn't react until the door opened.

He turned around and saw that Shi Nansheng was back, but Tsui Hark didn't say anything, but continued to turn his head and stare at the ceiling above his head in a daze.

Today, I handed over the work to others on the set, and he sat beside me to assist in the filming. Tsui Hark had a gloomy expression all afternoon, but because of this, the progress of the filming was accelerated a lot, which made Tsui Hark somewhat gratified.

"Have you eaten? If not, let's go out to eat."

As soon as Shi Nansheng saw Tsui Hark's look, he knew that he must have not eaten, so he planned to go out to eat with Tsui Hark.

"No, just cook me a bowl of noodles later. I have no appetite for anything right now."

Nowadays, all kinds of delicacies are tasteless to Tsui Hark. Unless Lin Daoqiu invites him to dinner, Tsui Hark would rather eat instant noodles at home than go out.

Seeing Tsui Hark's appearance, Shi Nansheng felt very distressed. If she couldn't think of a solution, I'm afraid she would have to stay here silently with Tsui Hark tonight, but now she has found a way to solve the problem, although it is only possible. That's it, but at least it's much better than no way.

"Look what this is."

As Shi Nansheng spoke, he handed a script into Tsui Hark's hands.

Looking at the script in Shi Nansheng's hand, Tsui Hark had no reaction at first. After he saw the words on the script clearly, Tsui Hark suddenly jumped up from the sofa because there were four big characters written on it, "Swordsman" .

"Did Mr. Lin give it to you?"

Tsui Hark quickly took the script. He thought it was Lin Daoqiu who called Shi Nansheng and gave her the script of "The Swordsman". If this was the case, it meant that Lin Daoqiu had forgiven him, which was the best for Tsui Hark. information.

But unfortunately Shi Nansheng shook his head.

"I went to find Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai to ask for it."

"what……"

Hearing that it was not from Lin Daoqiu, Tsui Hark's excitement suddenly fell to the bottom. If the script was not given to Shi Nansheng by Lin Daoqiu, it would have no meaning to Tsui Hark.

"Don't you want to know why I went to Andrew Lau and Wong Kar-Wai to get the script written by Mr. Lin?"

Tsui Hark turned to look at Shi Nansheng, his eyes full of doubts. He really didn't understand what Shi Nansheng's purpose was.

"Mr. Lin asked Andrew Lau and Wong Kar-wai to revise the script of "The Swordsman". If after the script is revised, Mr. Lin learns that it was written by you, what do you think Mr. Lin will do then?"

"How will it be done?"

Tsui Hark looked at Shi Nansheng blankly. He really couldn't guess what Lin Daoqiu's reaction would be.

"If the script you wrote can be approved by Mr. Lin, then who do you think he will let film "The Swordsman"? You wouldn't think that Mr. Lin will participate in all the filming of "The Swordsman" Right? As for Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, needless to say, in what way are they comparable to you? Don’t Mr. Lin know? "

"You're right, this method is good."

After listening to Shi Nansheng's words, Tsui Hark immediately understood. Without saying a word, he took the script and ran directly into the study.

"You haven't eaten yet." Shi Nansheng shouted hurriedly.

"Help me cook a bowl of doll noodles."

After Tsui Hark finished speaking, he started working immediately. He seemed to have found a solution to the problem and was now anxious to finish writing the script. Eating and other things were not important to him at all.

"Li Lianjie is unwilling to take the role of Linghu Chong?"

Lin Daoqiu did not go to Jet Li, but asked Li Maowen to talk with Jet Li, but what Li Maowen saw was not Jet Li himself, but his new agent Cai Ziming.

"Cai Ziming said that Jet Li is planning to take on a Hollywood movie recently, and he doesn't have time to film in Hong Kong. If he wants to film, it's fine. The salary must be at least 500 million, otherwise they won't take on the film."

It's not surprising that Cai Ziming said this to Lin Daoqiu, because this guy is not an ordinary person. He didn't expect that Jet Li would be deceived by Cai Ziming again just like in his previous life while he was away from Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Lin, the image of Jet Li and Ling Hu Chong in "The Swordsman" is very popular, but Cai Ziming's request is too outrageous. A salary of 2000 million is simply impossible. What do you think we should do next?"

Li Maowen knew that Lin Daoqiu would definitely not agree to Cai Ziming's request, but that guy was not an ordinary person. He knew what kind of company New Oriental was and also knew that the boss of this company was Lin Daoqiu. But since he knew this, he still dared to open the door. Offering such a price means that he doesn't take Lin Daoqiu seriously at all.

"You don't have to worry about Cai Ziming's affairs, let me handle it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, he just took over the matter. After all, if he let Li Maowen handle it, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to Cai Ziming, and that would only be a waste of Li Maowen's time.

"Okay Mr. Lin, I understand."

Li Maowen didn't have much idea about this. Who was Cai Ziming? He had already briefly understood the other party's details before going to talk to him. He knew that people like Cai Ziming were not easy to get along with. Most people would not talk to him at all. It won't have any effect, but Lin Daoqiu is different. If Lin Daoqiu can't solve the problem, it will just be a waste of time if he continues to talk.

But what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that Cai Ziming took the initiative to call him before he went to see him.

"Which one?"

Not long after Li Maowen left, Lin Daoqiu's phone rang. He picked up the phone and asked, and a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Cai Ziming, you should have heard my name."

"Cai Ziming? Who are you? I don't know you."

Although Lin Daoqiu knew who the other party was, he still pretended not to be serious about Cai Ziming.

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu didn't know him made Cai Ziming very angry, but he suppressed his anger for the time being and then introduced his identity with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, my name is Cai Ziming. I am Jet Li's agent now. You sent someone to talk to me before to talk about the sequel to "The Swordsman". I believe your people have told you about the matter when they go back. Have you passed?"

"Oh, you are Jet Li's agent, what do you want from me?"

Lin Daoqiu is a bit anti-customer. He can't let Cai Ziming have any initiative in front of him. When dealing with such a person, just control him tightly. Don't let him take the initiative, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about it later. (End of chapter)
