Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Are my words funny?"

Lin Qingxia couldn't understand how Lin Daoqiu could still laugh at this time. She clearly asked a very serious question.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Lin Daoqiu quickly put on a serious face, but even so, he still looked funny.

Those who didn't know better thought that Lin Daoqiu did this on purpose to ease the atmosphere at the scene, but he really hadn't thought about it that way.

"If you don't want this opportunity, just pretend that I didn't say that I'm tired, and you should go back and rest early."

Covering her head, she looked very tired. Brigitte Lin had been troubled by this matter in the past few days.

"Then you go to bed early and good night."

Lin Daoqiu seemed to not understand what the other party said. After he finished speaking, he stood up and turned around and walked towards the door.

Brigitte Lin did not expect that Lin Daoqiu did not want this opportunity. She was dumbfounded because this was completely different from what she had thought before.

"Don't you have anything to say to me in the end?"

Lin Qingxia was a little unwilling because the whole thing still made her feel confused.

Lin Daoqiu seemed to admit it, but she didn't seem to admit it. Even she couldn't figure it out.

"Finally? What finally?"

Lin Daoqiu pretended not to understand Brigitte Lin's words and stood looking at her blankly.

"You know what you do yourself."

Lin Qingxia crossed her arms and looked directly at the other person, as if she wanted to use this method to get Lin Daoqiu to confess.

But Lin Daoqiu still had a blank expression, as if Brigitte Lin was talking about other people's affairs and had nothing to do with him.

"But the problem is I haven't done anything."

At this point, if you admit it, it will be a dead end. Apart from denying it to the end, there is no other way.

"Okay, since you can't remember it, let me remind you. Do you still want to hide your relationship with Guo Youhua from me now?"

Lin Qingxia's question actually made Lin Daoqiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Because it sounds like she doesn't have any evidence at all and is just relying on speculation.

"What does Ahua and I have to do with each other? I haven't seen her for half a year?"

Lin Daoqiu asked with a puzzled look.

If this incident hadn't been used as a shield, he really wouldn't have been able to resist Brigitte Lin's questions.

"Lin Daoqiu, do you think I can't tell? Ever since Guo Yuhua joined the group, you seem to be a different person on the set. You were not like this before."

In fact, Brigitte Lin was just guessing. She had no evidence to prove that Lin Daoqiu and Guo Youhua came together. She was relying on intuition.

And in many cases, intuition cannot be used as evidence at all.

"Qingxia, don't think about it. There have been so many explosion scenes recently, and this is my first time filming such a scene. Do you think I can still laugh and laugh every day? I'm under a lot of pressure, okay?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head, and after finishing speaking, he returned to the sofa and sat down.

"You know the serious consequences if something goes wrong with these things. You don't care about me at all and you only think about those messy things."

Lin Daoqiu was confused by a series of questions. At first, Brigitte Lin thought that Lin Daoqiu's change was due to Guo Youhua joining the group.

But when she heard what the other party said, she suddenly felt that she had wrongly blamed Lin Daoqiu.

After all, there have been frequent explosions recently. It's no wonder that Lin Daoqiu seemed to have suddenly changed. It turned out to be because of too much pressure.

Without asking any questions, she thought that Lin Daoqiu became like that because of Guo Youhua, which made Brigitte Lin suddenly feel very ashamed.

"Yes...I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

She looked confident before, but now Brigitte Lin has become nervous.

"Hey... forget it, go to bed early. We have to film tomorrow. Good night."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. He tensed up tightly. If he laughed, he would really be doomed.

But as soon as he reached the door, Brigitte Lin had already rushed behind him and hugged him.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have thought so wildly. I promise I won't do this again in the future. Please forgive me, okay?"

As she talked, she almost cried. She felt that she had done something wrong by not helping Lin Daoqiu. It was really ignorant to add pressure to him at this time.

"Qingxia, it is very important for two people to trust each other. In places like the entertainment industry, there are often rumors. If you believe those rumors, it will be useless no matter how much I explain."

Lin Qingxia nodded vigorously, she didn't know what to say, she just wanted to lean on each other like this.

Turning around and hugging the other person, Lin Daoqiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The boat almost capsized today, but fortunately he was alert enough.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, from that day on, Lin Daoqiu became very serious on the set, as if it was written on his face that no strangers should enter.

Even Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't know what happened, but this did not affect the progress of the filming.

On the contrary, because of this, everyone focused on shooting.

…………

"Welcome to all journalists to attend this press conference."

In mid-April, a press conference that shocked Hong Kong was held in a hotel in Kowloon.

Lei Juekun, Chen Rongmei, Feng Bingzhong and others officially announced on stage that they would set up a cinema chain called Golden Princess in Xiangjiang.

"I hereby announce that starting from today, Golden Princess Cinemas will officially cancel the base fee. Movies released up to Golden Princess will no longer have to pay base fees."

As soon as these words came out, all the reporters in Xiangjiang opened their eyes wide. They never expected that Lei Juekun would come up with this trump card.

In the evening papers of that day, all major newspapers published the news immediately.

It can be said that the news of Lei Juekun breaking the guarantee system attracted the attention of filmmakers more than the founding of Golden Princess.

"Is he crazy when he rushes to the street? He is digging his own grave."

He was so angry that he slammed the table several times. Zou Wenhuai didn't expect that Lei Juekun would play such a big role. His move was obviously aimed at him.

Because the movies of Shaw Brothers Cinemas are self-produced and sold, basically no one will take the movies to show them, so the biggest beneficiary of the guaranteed system is Golden Harvest Cinemas.

Now that Lei Juekun has done something like this, it is obvious that he came with Jiahe in mind. This makes Zou Wenhuai not furious.

"I didn't expect Lei Juekun to be so smart and know how to use the cancellation fee to fight us. This is really troublesome."

Before, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang didn't take Lei Juekun seriously. They both felt that if he ran a theater chain without knowing anything about movies, he would be kicked out in a few years.

But as soon as this news appeared, they immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. At least from now on, they would not dare to underestimate this boss Lei.
