Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lin Daoqiu had never thought about expelling Hui Yinghong from New Oriental. After all, it can be said that a good-looking woman with excellent skills like her is very rare in Hong Kong.

Although she may not be able to play the leading role, there is absolutely no problem with Hui Yinghong playing a supporting role.

Moreover, at least half of New Oriental's future films will be action films. If Hui Yinghong is let go, it will definitely be a big loss for New Oriental.

"Why do you think so?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Hui Yinghong with some surprise.

In fact, it is normal for British celebrities to have such thoughts. After all, in recent times, a large number of Shaw Brothers actors who previously joined New Oriental have been dismissed.

Although Li Maowen has not approached her yet, Hui Yinghong feels that it may be difficult for her to stay in New Oriental, so she has been worried.

When she received the news that Lin Daoqiu wanted to see her, Hui Yinghong subconsciously thought that this was Lin Daoqiu's ultimatum to her.

"Mr. Lin, a lot of people have left New Oriental recently. Most of them are actors from Shaw Brothers. I originally thought that Manager Li would talk to me, but I didn't expect it was you."

Hui Yinghong seemed a little depressed because she was very confused about the future and didn't know where she would go after leaving New Oriental.

"A lot of things have indeed happened recently, and I believe you should already know it. I was forced to give up the theater chain, so I had to make this decision. But since Manager Li didn't come to you, it proves that you will not be dismissed."

If he still controlled the cinema chain, Lin Daoqiu would naturally not dismiss those people, but the problem now is that since there is no cinema chain, Lin Daoqiu can only keep the best people and let others make a living on their own.

.

Although this sounds cruel, Lin Daoqiu can only make such a decision under the current situation.

"Mr. Lin, do you think I can continue to stay at New Oriental?"

Hui Yinghong, who was originally a little depressed, immediately showed an expression of surprise when she heard what Lin Daoqiu said.

Being able to stay in New Oriental is naturally a dream for Hui Yinghong.

"Don't worry, I will still have a lot to rely on you in the future. You don't have to worry about not being able to film."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded.

Hui Yinghong stood up immediately and bowed respectfully to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much. I...I really want to stay in New Oriental."

Hui Yinghong lived in very poverty since she was a child. Because of their poverty, her brothers and sisters were sold to study Peking Opera. When Hui Yinghong was four years old, her mother took her out to hawk in the Lockhart Road area of ​​Wan Chai to support the family.

Later, while dancing in a ballroom, she was discovered by Chang Cheh's assistant director Wu Ma, and then joined Shaw Brothers, where her monthly salary dropped from 1,500 yuan to 500 yuan.

When this decision was first made, Hui Yinghong's mother did not support it. In the end, she got the support of her father who was lying on the hospital bed, so Hui Yinghong entered this circle.

Even though she has been filming movies for so many years, Hui Yinghong is actually not very rich. After all, she only received a monthly salary when she was in Shaw Brothers. She only made a little more when she arrived at New Oriental, but it didn't add up to much.

"Sit down and talk, Yinghong, don't get too excited. I invited you here today because I want to discuss your future with you."

When Hui Yinghong heard what Lin Daoqiu said, she quickly sat down.

Being able to get guidance from Lin Daoqiu or become the heroine of his new play is definitely a great joy for any actress in Hong Kong.

But since joining New Oriental, Lin Daoqiu has not asked her to film any movies. She is still working with Shaw Brothers actors and directors as before.

Now that Lin Daoqiu wants to talk to himself about the future, is it possible that Lin Daoqiu plans to make a drama to praise himself?

When she thought of this, Hui Yinghong's heart began to beat wildly. You must know that she is now twenty-five years old and has been filming for ten years.

But apart from having a pretty good time in Shaw Brothers, her reputation in Hong Kong has declined a lot compared to before.

Once an actor loses his fame, naturally no one will look for him to film, and over time, he may quit the film industry.

Hui Yinghong naturally didn't want such a day to come. She loved filming, and even in later generations, she would reduce her pay to star in movies when she encountered a good script.

You must know that her salary is not high in the first place, and it is even pitiful compared to those big stars who can easily make tens of millions per movie.

But even so, she is still willing to do this, which proves that she really loves the film industry.

"You have outstanding qualifications, good looks, and excellent skills. You will be the hottest star in Hong Kong for at least the next ten years."

Lin Daoqiu is not complimenting Hui Yinghong. What he said is true. But as for whether he is an ordinary star or a big star, it depends on Hui Yinghong's future development.

But when Lin Daoqiu said this, Hui Yinghong was still very happy and excited. She nodded repeatedly, and the smile on her face never broke.

"Mr. Lin, you are so grateful. In fact, I am not as good as you said. I will continue to work hard and will not disappoint your expectations."

Lin Daoqiu believes that with Hui Yinghong's professionalism, she will definitely not let herself down in any way.

But what Lin Daoqiu is going to tell her next may make it difficult for Hui Yinghong to make a decision.

"Starting from this year, I plan to launch several female-centered action films. You may have heard some news before..."

Hui Yinghong had also heard some rumors about what Lin Daoqiu was talking about. From Brigitte Lin to Michelle Yeoh and Li Saifeng who had already entered the Yuan Family Class training, they should be Lin Daoqiu's first choice.

Hui Yinghong didn't think she could compete with them. After all, Lin Daoqiu didn't have any special care for her before. Today's conversation was the first time.

"I will arrange for you to participate in these movies, and they will all be important roles. I don't know what you think."

Although Lin Daoqiu said she was an important role, she did not say she was a heroine, which proved that she could only play supporting roles in the future.

Hui Yinghong was still imagining just now whether Lin Daoqiu would open a new drama for herself and make herself the heroine.

But now after hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Hui Yinghong suddenly realized.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that I will definitely play the role you give me well. I have said before that I will not let you down, so I will work hard."

After working as a supporting actor in Shaw Brothers for many years, Hui Yinghong finally climbed to the leading role, but unexpectedly she fell back again.

But she secretly warned herself that being a supporting role in Lin Daoqiu's movie was much better than being the heroine in an ordinary movie.

"Yinghong, it's best if you can think openly. I believe you will definitely become the top beater in Hong Kong in the future."
