Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already time for New Oriental to get off work.

But Lin Daoqiu, who was sitting in the office, didn't seem to realize that it was already time to get off work.

"Boss, the time is almost up. I'm asking you when will you come over?"

Today is the premiere day of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern", and the premiere is scheduled to be held at the Ocean Theater.

As the investor, producer, director, and screenwriter of this drama, Lin Daoqiu naturally had to attend in person.

However, what troubles Lin Daoqiu is that both Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin are participating in the performance of this drama, so they will naturally attend the premiere.

Under normal circumstances, except for the Academy Awards ceremony, it is basically unlikely that Chung Chu-hong and Brigitte Lin will appear on the same occasion.

Things that could only be worried about once a year, or things that didn't need to be worried about suddenly appeared all of a sudden, which naturally made Lin Daoqiu very helpless.

Because no matter who you accompany to attend the premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the other person will definitely be very dissatisfied.

In this case, Lin Daoqiu could only choose not to accompany anyone and let them attend the premiere by themselves.

As for Lin Daoqiu himself, he could only go alone.

"Let's go back and change clothes and then go to the premiere."

Another thing that worries Lin Daoqiu is that he appeared in front of reporters from the news media for the first time after holding the last press conference.

At this time, there were already many reporters waiting for him to appear at the Maritime Theater.

In order to prevent unexpected situations, Li Maowen has doubled the number of security personnel to maintain order at the scene.

However, for the sake of safety, Li Maowen suggested that Lin Daoqiu should not go through the main entrance and not appear in front of reporters.

Regarding Li Maowen's suggestion, Lin Daoqiu adopted it after a little thought.

After going home and changing his clothes, Lin Daoqiu changed into an ordinary car and then drove to the Ocean Theater.

Just as Lin Daoqiu guessed, there were already many reporters outside the Ocean Theater at this time.

Outside the red line, a large number of reporters gathered around, waiting for Lin Daoqiu's appearance.

"I don't think Mr. Lin will show up today."

While waiting for Lin Daoqiu, several reporters began to chat about him.

"That shouldn't be the case. Everything has passed, and the Baodao side shouldn't dare to take any action against Mr. Lin, right?"

"I think this matter is very suspenseful. I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of the worst. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to risk my own life easily."

While several reporters were still chatting about whether Lin Daoqiu would appear today.

Suddenly a Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the red carpet, and then the door opened, and Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng walked out of the car.

As one of the directors of this drama, Tsui Hark was entrusted by Lin Daoqiu with the important task of being responsible for the premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" today.

After leading Shi Nansheng onto the red carpet, the reporters immediately pressed the shutter.

It stands to reason that as the director of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the questions everyone asks Tsui Hark at this time should be related to this drama.

But Tsui Hark's ears would ring with questions about Lin Daoqiu from time to time.

"Director Xu, will Mr. Lin come today?"

"Director Xu, isn't Mr. Lin already in the theater? Why doesn't he come out for an interview?"

Tsui Hark smiled and nodded around, but didn't reply a word.

Today's premiere did not have an off-site host, so Tsui Hark went directly into the theater after walking the red carpet, without giving reporters a chance to ask questions.

After all, he knew very well that the reporters' questions must be related to Lin Daoqiu.

But today is the premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". If I keep answering topics related to Lin Daoqiu, wouldn't the theme of the premiere be distorted?

It’s just that for reporters, news with high traffic and explosive content is what they pursue.

Whether a drama like "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" is good or not, or what its selling points are, in fact, they have nothing to do with it at all.

Not long after Tsui Hark walked on the red carpet, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao also arrived at the scene.

In addition to them, Zhong Chuhong was also following them.

"Ms. Zhong, why didn't you see Mr. Lin today?"

Zhong Chuhong had already thought about how to answer these questions from reporters.

"Brother Hong and Brother Biao accompany me on the red carpet. Don't you think it's enough?"

"It's just that, judging from your words, it seems that neither of us has any weight at all."

When those reporters heard what they said, they knew that Zhong Chuhong was using Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao as shields.

It would be fine if Chung Chu-hong is looking for someone else, but Sammo Hung’s status in the Hong Kong film and television industry is really extraordinary.

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is a special effects blockbuster produced locally in Hong Kong. I hope more audiences will buy tickets to watch it. I guarantee it is definitely worth the price of admission."

Zhong Chuhong also did not forget to help promote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

No matter how many reporters asked about things related to Lin Daoqiu, Zhong Chuhong didn't even answer a word.

Then Chung Chu-hong and Sammo Hung ended the interview and entered the theater.

Not long after Zhong Chuhong and the others entered, another car drove over.

This time, only one person got out of the car, and that was Brigitte Lin.

When Lin Qingxia appeared, the reporters at the scene seemed to be crazy, and the flashbulbs kept flashing.

Lin Qingxia, wearing a long dress, walked onto the red carpet alone.

"Miss Lin, why didn't Mr. Lin come with you today?"

At this time, a reporter suddenly asked loudly.

Hearing what the other party said, Brigitte Lin just smiled and replied.

"There are so many Mr. Lins in Xiangjiang. How do I know which one you are talking about? Besides, I am not a child and I don't need anyone else to accompany me on the red carpet."

What Brigitte Lin said seemed a bit wrong.

People who don't know the relationship between her and Lin Daoqiu can't hear the underlying meaning of Brigitte Lin at all.

But those reporters had been running rumors about Brigitte Lin and Lin Daoqiu's scandal for so many years. When she said this, everyone naturally heard the implication.

"Ms. Lin, do you feel a little unhappy that Mr. Lin did not accompany you to this premiere?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know who Mr. Lin you are talking about, but it was decided from the beginning that I would go alone at the premiere, so I can't have any complaints. You can't write anything wrong."

Brigitte Lin then answered a few questions related to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" before turning and walking towards the theater.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu was sitting in the theater. He came in through the back door, and no reporter noticed this at all.

At this time, Fang Jinsheng suddenly came up to Lin Daoqiu and whispered something.

"Miss Zhong and Miss Lin are both here."

Lin Daoqiu looked back and saw Zhong Chuhong and Brigitte Lin standing there on the left and right looking at him.
