Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 568 Let Me Be Your Girlfriend
Wang Jing, who was waiting outside the door, saw Fang Jinsheng walking out of Lin Daoqiu's office with Wang Jiawei.

"Director Wang, you can go in now."

Nodding quickly, Wang Jing walked towards Lin Daoqiu's office.

Although he was a little curious about Wong Kar Wai's identity, he didn't take the initiative to ask.

He is sure that this young man is also a screenwriter, and everyone works in New Oriental, so he will have a lot of opportunities to get to know him in the future.

After pushing open the door of Lin Daoqiu's office and closing it, Wang Jing walked to the chair opposite Lin Daoqiu and sat down respectfully.

"I plan to restart the previous production process of Shaw Brothers. You should be familiar with it. After filming "The Bad Luck Gambler", you will help Li Maowen at that time."

Lin Daoqiu called Wang Jing here today because he wanted him to help Li Maowen in this matter.

After all, the filming of "Unlucky Gambler" is about to finish, and this guy won't start filming right away.

Wang Jing grew up on the Shaw Brothers studio since he was a child, and he is very familiar with this system. Asking him to help Li Maowen can make this system work faster.

"Huh? Is New Oriental going to follow the system of big studios in the future?"

Wang Jing didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to have such an idea. Didn't he resist this system before?Why did you suddenly think of doing this?

"Baojia Cinemas attracted most of the film sources, resulting in a shortage of film sources in New Oriental, so Li Maowen proposed such a method, and I adopted it."

Lin Daoqiu made Wang Jing understand the whole thing with a few simple words.

Nodding his head, after listening to Lin Daoqiu's explanation, Wang Jing finally understood why he suddenly wanted to play Shaw's tricks.

"No wonder the scriptwriting department is formed."

Wang Jing muttered in a low voice, it seems that this is Lin Daoqiu's supporting measures.

Ignoring Wang Jing's muttering, Lin Daoqiu continued.

"In the future, if there are any good works in the screenwriting department, they will be provided to those who have jumped over from Shaw Brothers first."

Huang Baiming in New Art City can write the script himself, so Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to worry.

As for Wang Jing and the others who are screenwriters themselves, it is even more unlikely that they will be short of scripts.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu planned that the main function of the screenwriting department was to serve those who came from Shaw Brothers.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, I want to recommend someone to you."

Wang Jing came to Lin Daoqiu today because he actually wanted to ask him for help.

"who?"

"Chu Yuan, the former Shaw Brothers director."

Speaking of the director Chu Yuan, he is Wang Jing's half master.

He once said such things to Wang Jing, which directly affected Wang Jing's thinking about making movies in the future.

"A Jing, it's not a crime to be an actress in the film industry, it's not a crime to be late and leave early, it's not a crime to put on airs, and there's only one capital crime, which is not making money."

Wang Jing remembered Chu Yuan's words, which he said in later interviews.

"I have always insisted that business should be in charge. To make money, no matter how rich the boss is, he can't bear to keep losing money, because he will be laughed at as a fool, which is unbearable for rich people."

Wang Jing can have such a deep feeling, which is more or less related to what Chu Yuan told him.

As for this director Chu Yuan, Lin Daoqiu actually didn't know much about him, he only knew that he was the famous director of Shaw Brothers.

If it wasn't for this time, if Lin Daoqiu wanted to play Shaw's tricks before, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to invite Chu Yuan over.

"No problem, you see when he has time, let him come up to me."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think much, and agreed directly.

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu agreed so quickly, Wang Jing felt very happy.

After all, being able to find a job for his master can be regarded as his filial piety.

…………

"Crack, I announce that "Unlucky Gambler" is officially finished..."

In mid-July, the last scene of "Unlucky Gambler" directed by Wang Jing officially ended.

Lin Daoqiu also specially came to the set today.

"Congratulations, Director Wang."

After Wang Jing finished shouting, Lin Daoqiu stepped forward to congratulate the other party.

"Don't dare, if you want to say congratulations, you should also congratulate Mr. Lin."

While they were talking, all the leading actors had already walked over.

Zhong Chuhong walked to Lin Daoqiu's side and stood beside Lin Daoqiu. Everyone thought it was normal.

Although the relationship between Zhong Chuhong and Lin Daoqiu has not been made public, everyone in the crew has already noticed a little bit of it.

But among these people, there was one person who was a little unhappy about this, and that person was Guan Zhilin.

"In the evening, Mr. Lin will hold a wrap-up banquet in the restaurant for everyone to celebrate. Remember to be there on time."

Putting on a wrap-up banquet is a common practice in the past. If there is no emergency, Lin Daoqiu will usually do this.

"Then I'll go back and freshen up first, see you in the evening."

Zhong Chuhong planned to go home and change her clothes. After all, she had just finished filming and was sweating all over her body. She had to go back to take a shower and change her clothes before she could attend the finale banquet.

After Zhong Chuhong left, Lin Daoqiu wanted to go back, but someone stopped him from behind.

"Mr. Lin, if it's convenient, can you take me back?"

Guan Zhilin stood there, looking at Lin Daoqiu with a smile on her face.

"my pleasure."

Lin Daoqiu agreed without thinking much, and then Guan Zhilin got into Lin Daoqiu's Rolls-Royce.

But the strange thing is that Guan Zhilin, who had a smile on her face before, suddenly put away her smile as soon as she got into the car.

"What's the matter? It seems that you are not in a good mood today."

Lin Daoqiu didn't understand, Guan Zhilin was still smiling before getting into the car, why she suddenly became like this after getting into the car.

Turning her head to look at Lin Daoqiu, Lin Daoqiu could tell from Guan Zhilin's eyes that she was in a bad mood at this time.

"Does Mr. Lin still remember me? If I hadn't come to you on my own initiative, I'm afraid you would have forgotten my existence."

The more Guan Zhilin talked, the more aggrieved she became, it seemed like she was about to cry.

During this period of time, because Lin Daoqiu has been very busy, he basically never came to visit the class.

When Guan Zhilin finally waited for him to appear, the person standing beside Lin Daoqiu was Zhong Chuhong instead of her, which made Guan Zhilin feel very wronged.

"How could I forget you? Recently, because I have too many things in my hands, I really can't spare time. You don't really blame me, do you?"

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he lightly patted Guan Zhilin's shoulder a few times with his hand, and then took her into his arms.

At the beginning, Guan Zhilin struggled a little, but when she leaned into the other's arms, she immediately calmed down.

"Do you like lying to me very much, do you think I am a woman who is easy to lie to?"

Guan Zhilin's tone is not as blunt as before, it sounds like she is acting like a baby with Lin Daoqiu.

"Why do I think so, you must have misunderstood me."

Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't admit what Guan Zhilin just said.

"If that's the case, then let me be your girlfriend."
