Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 403 Save Yourself
At first, he thought that it would be enough for him to go far away, but now it seems that Lin Daoqiu doesn't intend to just spare himself like this.

But if you think about it carefully, you think it's normal. If you want to blame it, you can blame yourself for being so bold that you took Lin Daoqiu's idea.

Now that he has been captured by the other party, how could Lin Daoqiu spare himself lightly.

Guessing whether he will leave the film industry from now on, whenever Wu Yusen thinks of this, his heart feels a dull pain.

"It looks like you're depressed, but I'm not such an unreasonable person, I'm going to give you a chance to see if you can save yourself."

Wu Yusen, who was already in complete despair, slowly raised his head after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, and then looked at him with incredible eyes.

Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to block Wu Yusen now, because it was unnecessary at all, and he would not be so vicious that he would block him just because the other party made a mistake.

Speaking of it, Wu Yusen was just opportunistic, and he just wanted to use Zhong Chuhong to attract his attention to "Money's Mischief". For Lin Daoqiu, this is far from rising to the point of hating the other party.

If he only cares about such small things, then he is too small-minded.

So Lin Daoqiu looked very angry, but mostly he just used this expression to scare Wu Yusen.

"I don't know what I can do for Mr. Lin?"

Wu Yusen was not a fool either, as soon as he heard Lin Daoqiu say this, he knew that the other party must have something for him to do, but what he couldn't figure out was that Lin Daoqiu's ability was really useful for him?

I believe that when he goes out to say a word, people who want to help him will flock to him, and Wu Yusen believes that he has nothing to make Lin Daoqiu fancy.

Suddenly, Wu Yusen thought of a possibility that frightened him.

Lin Daoqiu asked him to do it, maybe it was something shady, otherwise why would he look for him if he didn't look for someone else?

One look at Wu Yusen's appearance and you can tell that he must be thinking wildly.

"Don't be so nervous, I just want to gamble with you to see if God will let you continue to stay in Xiangjiang to make movies."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wu Yusen nodded half-understanding. If he didn't bet with Lin Daoqiu, he wouldn't even have a chance, so he decided to give it a try.

"Let's take the box office of "Money's Mischief" as our gamble this time. If you can win the box office of over [-] million, then I will forgive you for what you did before, but if you lose..."

Lin Daoqiu deliberately paused, then he looked at Wu Yusen and said with a smile: "Then I advise you to change careers as soon as possible."

If he were to make other films, Wu Yusen might still be a little sure that he could achieve it, and now that there are two-line screenings, the difficulty is several times smaller than before.

But the problem now is that in his opinion, it is not so difficult to break through [-] million for the movie "Money's Mischief", even if there is a double-screening.

And what made him desperate was that there was only one protagonist, Xu Guanying, whom everyone could name. The others contributed almost nothing to the box office at the beginning. It is conceivable that it will be difficult for this drama to break the box office of tens of millions.

But even with so many difficulties, there is no way out for Wu Yusen. He must either agree to Lin Daoqiu's bet, or consider switching to other jobs now.

After so many years in the film industry, if Wu Yusen, who is now in his 30s, suddenly changes careers, he doesn't know what he can do.

"Although this matter is difficult, since Mr. Lin thinks highly of me, I'll take a gamble with you."

With no way out, Wu Yusen could only choose to gamble with Lin Daoqiu. Although the hope was very slim, he felt that if it was not true, he would definitely lose.

But before leaving, Wu Yusen suddenly asked Lin Daoqiu an incredible request.

"I wonder if Mr. Lin can ask Ms. Zhong Chuhong to be the heroine of my movie?"

As soon as Wu Yusen said these words, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Wu Yusen was thinking, but he dared to make this request in front of himself at this moment.

Perhaps it was because Wu Yusen felt that he had nothing to fear because he had reached this point, so he simply broke the can and threw it.

"No, she's not available."

Lin Daoqiu never thought of spoiling Wu Yusen, so he refused without thinking.

Wu Yusen seemed to have guessed that Lin Daoqiu would answer in this way, so he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then got up and left Lin Daoqiu's office.

…………

Somehow Wu Yusen's filming for New Oriental reached Zou Wenhuai's ears.

"This Wu Yusen is really audacious. He even dared to help New Oriental film a movie without telling us. This matter can't just be left alone."

The reason why Zou Wenhuai was so angry was because this incident happened before they cooperated with Lin Daoqiu.

He Guanchang on the side didn't think much better about Wu Yusen, he thought almost the same as Zou Wenhuai.

"Wu Yusen is actually a very talented director, but it's a pity that he didn't see his ability clearly, thinking that making a few blockbuster movies would be great."

To say that Wu Yusen is also unlucky, originally he didn't play Zhong Chuhong's idea, so there must not be so many things happening.

But now it’s all right, not to mention whether the bet with Lin Daoqiu can win or not, and Jiahe still knows that he secretly helped New Oriental to make a film. Although the two companies have now united, neither Zou Wenhuai nor He Guanchang intends to let it go.

Not to mention that he is still a member of Golden Harvest, if he sneaks out to help people shoot movies like this, if they just sit back and watch, maybe other people will follow suit in the future, so how can Golden Harvest continue to operate in the future?
"After this incident is over, let him go to Baodao to shoot a film, let him calm down there, and figure out what can and can't be done."

Zou Wenhuai was really angry this time, unless "Money's Mischief" can achieve a very good box office result, maybe he may be extra merciful to Wu Yusen.

However, Zou Wenhuai didn't know about the bet between Wu Yusen and Lin Daoqiu, so his idea of ​​preparing to teach Wu Yusen a lesson would be superfluous.

Poor John Woo is preparing for the filming of "Money's Mischief". When he heard the bad news, he seemed calm and unaffected by those rumors.

After all, the only one who can save him now is himself. If he can make a good film of "Money's Mischief", he can save his life from danger.

But if the filming of this film fails, then he has nothing to complain about, and he will honestly switch to other jobs at that time.
