Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 571 The man
I have to say that money is really a good thing, at least for Lin Daoqiu.

A small villa, plus helping her pay off her debts, these two things combined, Guan Zhilin was easily conquered, and the money Lin Daoqiu spent was less than 100 million.

If it weren't for the fear that Zhong Chuhong and others would see something because he was going to attend the wrapping banquet later, something might have happened between him and Guan Zhilin.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu had taken advantage of what he should have, and Guan Zhilin almost refused to let him go.

Back at his home, after taking a shower, Lin Daoqiu changed his clothes and planned to attend the celebration banquet of "Unlucky Gambler".

But when Lin Daoqiu was leaving the house, he suddenly received a call from a man named Chen Jiasheng.

Chen Jiasheng, a middle-aged man who most people in Xiangjiang don't know much about him, but in Lin Daoqiu's ears, this name is already very popular.

"Mr. Lin, if you have time, I would like to treat you to afternoon tea tomorrow. I wonder if you are free?"

Chen Jiasheng didn't say much on the phone, he just said that he wanted to invite Lin Daoqiu to drink tea tomorrow.

Because he was going to attend the wrapping banquet, Lin Daoqiu didn't ask much on the phone, and then he directly agreed to the invitation.

In the previous life, Chen Jiasheng was mentioned many times almost every day, and even Lin Daoqiu himself thought about it, hoping that one day he could be as rich as Chen Jiasheng.

He didn't think about it, but the other party would take the initiative to find him, which made Lin Daoqiu a little curious about what this future super rich man saw in him.

Lin Daoqiu recalled carefully, in his impression, Chen Jiasheng should have never invested in the film industry.

And even if the film market was booming back then, I had never heard of him getting involved.

After all, the money made from making movies is really too little, even if he opens a theater, it can't be as fast as he sells off-plan properties.

Lin Daoqiu, who really couldn't figure it out, simply didn't continue to think about it. Anyway, he will know when we meet tomorrow.

…………

Lin Daoqiu didn't invite anyone to the wrap-up banquet in the evening except the crew.

He didn't want to make it too grand, after all, Lin Daoqiu was really not sure about this play.

If it doesn't sell well, if it's too grand now, it will be laughed at by others, so it's better to keep a low profile.

However, Wang Jing didn't understand Lin Daoqiu's thoughts, even contrary to Lin Daoqiu's understanding, he just wanted to make this celebration banquet lively.

For this reason, Wang Jing specially invited all the stars from Shaw Brothers, but Guo Youhua was the only one who did not invite them.

After all, Wang Jing can more or less guess the relationship between Guo Youhua and Lin Daoqiu.

The heroine tonight is Zhong Chuhong. If he invites Guo Youhua here at this time, Wang Jing believes that Lin Daoqiu might have his heart killed on the spot.

When Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong arrived at the scene, he found that the scene was more lively than he expected.

Ti Lung, David Jiang, and other Shaw Brothers stars sat at several tables.

When Lin Daoqiu saw them, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

But he didn't know that these people were all invited by Wang Jing, and Lin Daoqiu thought that they came to congratulate Wang Jing on his own initiative.

"Mr. Lin..."

When Ti Lung and David Jiang saw Lin Daoqiu, they immediately went over to say hello to him.

"Come and sit down, both of you."

Lin Daoqiu greeted them with a smile, and then took them to the main seat and sat down.

In addition to Ti Lung and David Jiang, there is also Fu Sheng, the hero of "Unlucky Gambler".

As soon as I saw the three of them, I couldn't help but remind people of the glorious era before Shaw Brothers.

You must know that the three of them can be said to be the most popular stars of Shaw Brothers back then. If Uncle Six hadn't ended the business of Shaw Brothers studio so soon, I believe they are still making films for Shaw Brothers.

But besides these actors, Wang Jing also invited someone over tonight, and that person was Chu Yuan.

"Master, Mr. Lin is actually very talkative, don't worry."

In Wang Jing's view, Chu Yuan is actually a very good director, but Lin Daoqiu may have misunderstood him.

I feel that Chu Yuan can only make those Shaw Brothers-style movies, and he doesn't know how to make other things at all.

But Wang Jing knew very well that if Chu Yuan didn't want to help Shaw Brothers film, he could have jumped out and made films for other companies.

And with Chu Yuan's ability, he can make a movie that is both popular and popular.

But it's a pity that Chu Yuan would rather give up those opportunities because he was appreciated by the sixth uncle, and honestly use Shaw Brothers as a filming machine.

But now it's all right, the Shaw Brothers has disbanded, Chu Yuan has no constraints, he can come out to show his talent, now there is only one chance left.

When he saw Chu Yuan, Lin Daoqiu seemed a little surprised.

Because he didn't add this face to that director Chu Yuan before.

He has always regarded this person as an actor. In "Police Story" in his last life, the big villain was played by Chu Yuan.

And after he was discharged from the hospital, he acted in many movies, so when I saw him, I felt very familiar.

"Mr. Lin, this is director Chu Yuanchu."

Wang Jing brought Chu Yuan to Lin Daoqiu, and then introduced Chu Yuan to him.

"Hello, Director Chu. I've heard of your name a long time ago. Nice to meet you. I'm Lin Daoqiu."

Lin Daoqiu reached out his hand and shook Chu Yuan's hand.

"Mr. Lin is too polite. I don't have a big name in front of you. At most, I'm just making a living."

Chu Yuan shook his head with a smile. He felt that compared with Lin Daoqiu's movies, he felt that the movies he made before were nothing compared to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu's "Master Qian" sold 1000 million 800 million at the box office, which is several times more than his previous films.

Not to mention the films that Lin Daoqiu made later, some of which have already been sold to Hollywood, Chu Yuan has no other thoughts besides being amazed.

"Director Chu, please sit down."

He invited Chu Yuan to sit beside him, because he was the oldest at the scene and had the highest seniority.

Since Wang Jing herself didn't mind, the others naturally wouldn't say much, after all, most of the table was Shaw's actors.

They have acted in many films directed by Chu Yuan before, so everyone has special respect for him.

"Come on, I wish "Unlucky Gambler" a good box office. Let's have a toast."

Lin Daoqiu stood up and raised his cup.

Seeing this, the others also stood up.

After everyone raised their heads and drained the wine in their glasses, they sat down one after another.

But at this moment, someone suddenly asked Wang Jing an embarrassing question.

"Director Wang, how much box office do you think this movie will win by then?"

Hearing the other party's question, the expression on Wang Jing's face froze all of a sudden.

　Thank you, Brother Xiaoman, God "Little Bookworm" demon, everyone's big monthly tickets!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
