Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.
Chapter 96 Kiss Substitute, Lin Fengjiao?
At 12 a.m. on December 2, Li Yawen gave birth to a son naturally at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.
Li Huai-ren, Brigitte Lin, Teresa Teng, and Angie Chiu arrived at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital yesterday afternoon to accompany her.
This is the eldest grandson of the Luo family, and the entire Luo family attaches great importance to it and is also very nervous. The child's grandfather personally named his eldest grandson Luo Chengmin.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day, 1972.
On New Year's Day, which happened to be Luo Chengmin's one-month birthday, the Luo family held a one-month celebration for him at the Peninsula Hotel, with a hundred tables.
Although the Luo family neither engages in business nor pursues a political career, they have been lawyers for generations, running their own law firm. They are well-connected in Hong Kong, and almost all of the city's wealthy are their clients.
Therefore, at the full moon celebration of the eldest grandson of the Luo family, Zheng Yutong, Li Ka-shing, Bao Shoufu, Li Zhaoji and others gathered together again.
Li Huai-ren was arranged by his sister and brother-in-law to sit at the same table as Li Chao-ren and others.
Bao, the richest man, glanced at Li Huai-ren, still harboring resentment that Li hadn't become his son-in-law.
"A movie has grossed more than 70 million US dollars worldwide in just one month since its release."
"Alas, what a pity. If Xiaohui had married him, he would have been the most suitable person to inherit the Bao family business."
The way the other people at the table looked at Li Huai-ren was completely different from before:
Damn it, a movie has only been released for a month and has already grossed more than 70 million US dollars worldwide. They must have received at least 10 million US dollars in their share, right?
What does ten million US dollars mean? That's more than fifty million Hong Kong dollars, which is the majority of the wealth of most people present!
I heard that this kid's arcade machine thing is ridiculously expensive, costing over a thousand dollars apiece, and he's already sold 20,000 units.
Even if each arcade machine only makes $500, that's still ten million dollars. This kid is incredibly shrewd, and he's running a unique business. Anyone with a brain knows that he couldn't possibly only make $500 per arcade machine.
Then, remembering that Li Huai-ren owned a host of profitable businesses, Li Ka-shing and the others almost simultaneously had the same thought:
"Hong Kong's richest person has changed; isn't it Bao Sheng now?"
On January 12, primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong began their summer holiday.
The following day, Li Huai-ren and Brigitte Lin traveled to Taiwan to join the film crew of the movie "Outside the Window," which had already begun filming, to shoot their scenes together.
At Studio C of the Central Motion Picture Corporation's Shihlin Film Studio in Taipei, Li Huai-ren and Brigitte Lin were completely dumbfounded when they entered the set and saw Qin Han, the son of the runaway general.
"Wasn't I supposed to be playing the male lead? What's this guy doing here?"
He had neither read the novel "Outside the Window" nor seen the movie "Outside the Window," and he hadn't even received the script yet, so naturally he didn't know that Qin Han had played the female lead's husband in his previous life.
When Qiong Yao saw that the male and female leads had finally arrived, she immediately walked over happily and introduced them to Li Huai-ren and Lin Qing-xia:
"You should recognize this person. He is Qin Han, a big star from Taiwan. He plays the husband of the female lead in the drama."
Seeing Li Huai-ren's bewildered expression, she immediately reacted, took two scripts out of her handbag, and handed them to Li Huai-ren and Lin Qingxia, saying:
"I'm sorry, I forgot. I forgot I haven't given you the script yet. In the next couple of days, you should familiarize yourselves with the script and go over the scenes together."
Qin Han glanced at the exquisitely beautiful young woman, Lin Qingxia, and a strange restlessness immediately welled up in his heart.
He quickly turned around to look at Li Huai-ren, who was taller, more sunny, and much more handsome than him, and immediately noticed a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Before he could think further, Li Huai-ren had already introduced Lin Qingxia to Qiong Yao and the others:
"This is Brigitte Lin, my newlywed wife."
Qiong Yao and the others were taken aback; they had only just learned of this matter themselves.
Who is Brigitte Lin? She has starred in several hit TV series in the past two years and is also the female lead in the current highest-grossing Chinese-language film, "The Big Boss." People like Chiung Yao naturally know her.
That's why, when Li Huai-ren recommended Brigitte Lin for the lead role in "Outside the Window," Chiung Yao agreed without hesitation.
Qin Han was taken aback, then immediately realized why he had sensed a hint of hostility from Li Huai Ren earlier.
He had read the script many times, and he scoffed inwardly:
"Hmph, there's a kissing scene between me and your wife. I'd like to see how you react when you see me kissing her!"
After Li Huai-ren and Lin Qing-xia toured the set and got to know the crew, Qiong Yao arranged for the crew to take them back to the hotel where the crew was staying to rest and familiarize themselves with the script before returning to the set to film the day after tomorrow.
The hotel is located on the street outside the Shilin Film Studio. Although it's called a hotel, it's actually a newly opened private inn. It's six stories high and was recently renovated, so it looks quite clean and pleasing to the eye.
Li Huai-ren and Brigitte Lin were assigned to single suites on either side of the stairwell on the third floor.
After packing her own luggage, Lin Qingxia knocked on Li Huai-ren's door and came in to help him unpack, hanging up the clothes she had brought one by one on a hanger.
She had just hung up Li Huai-ren's last shirt when, with a "bang," Li Huai-ren suddenly slammed the script heavily on the table:
"What's wrong with Qiong Yao? Why is it that the kissing scene isn't arranged for you and me, but for you and that Qin Han?"
What's wrong with this woman?
No, absolutely not!
Upon hearing this, Brigitte Lin immediately became anxious:
"Huh? There's a kissing scene? And it's not with you? Then I won't film it, absolutely not!"
The two then discussed it and decided to first go to Qiong Yao to revise the script.
That evening, after the crew returned to the hotel, Li Huai-ren and Lin Qing-xia immediately went to find Qiong Yao and discussed the matter in Qiong Yao's room.
Li Huai-ren was an investor in this film, and he and Brigitte Lin were newlyweds. Qiong Yao was not as domineering as she was when she was filming in mainland China in her previous life, and she could not change a single word of the script she wrote.
However, the kissing scene between the female lead and her husband was essential to the plot. After discussing it, the three decided to find a "kissing double" to replace Brigitte Lin in filming the kissing scene, as Qiong Yao disagreed with the idea of using a camera angle to film it.
That night, Li Huai-ren and Lin Qing-xia obediently returned to their own rooms to rest.
Of course, it wasn't that the two of them didn't want to do what they wanted, nor that Brigitte Lin was unwilling.
The two were already legally married, and it was a rare opportunity without Teresa Teng and Angie Chiu acting as third wheels. Naturally, when their feelings deepened, they wanted to take their relationship to the next level.
Unfortunately, the hotel room door wasn't soundproof. If you farted in the room, people in the hallway outside could hear you. If the two of them were to do *that*, what would be the difference between that and a live audio broadcast?
Li Huai-ren cursed screenwriter and producer Qiong Yao countless times in his heart, and could only miserably lie awake alone.
The next day at noon, in a small courtyard of a bungalow on the outskirts of Taipei, an eighteen-year-old pretty woman hung up the phone and stood there lost in thought.
After a long while, she murmured to herself:
"Anyway, filming for 'The Angry Man of Chaozhou' will start after the Lunar New Year, so it's good to go to the set first to get familiar with the production."
Sigh, being someone's stunt double earns 2000 NT dollars for just one kissing scene. That covers the phone bill, utilities, and gas bills for this month...
After a long pause, her eyes grew increasingly resolute. She picked up the phone and dialed a number:
"Assistant Director Ping, this is Lin Fengjiao. I'll take this kissing scene!"
