Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Keep your back straight and your legs together. Don't dare to fill up all the chairs and only sit two-thirds of the way.

John Woo acted very reserved in front of Lin Daoqiu. Even though the other person was more than a year younger than him, he still didn't dare to relax at all.

"Mr. Wu, you don't need to be so nervous. You can relax a little. After all, I don't know how to eat people."

Although Lin Daoqiu was unhappy that John Woo asked Lin Zhengying and others to test him, he would not do anything to John Woo because of this.

After all, the most classic gun battle film in Chinese movies will be produced by him, so it is appropriate to give the other party the necessary respect, even though he is still only a director who is regarded by Golden Harvest as only suitable for comedy films.

"I don't dare. I'm really sorry to trouble Mr. Lin to take time out of his busy schedule to come see me."

John Woo's attitude seemed to be very humble, because he mistakenly thought that Lin Daoqiu already knew why he invited Zhong Chuhong to film, so he called him over to settle the score with him. How could he not be afraid?

You must know that Lin Daoqiu is now the overlord of the Hong Kong film industry. It is not even an exaggeration to say that in a few years, the reputations of Zou Wenhuai and Shaw will probably not be as good as his.

If Lin Daoqiu has any dissatisfaction with him, then it will be impossible for John Woo to film in Hong Kong, and it will be useless no matter how anonymous he is.

"Okay, let's not say any polite words. I invited Mr. Wu here today because I want to ask you something, which is about Miss Zhong Chuhong."

John Woo just picked up the cup and drank water. He originally wanted to relieve his nervousness, but when he heard Lin Daoqiu's name saying Zhong Chuhong's name, John Woo was so frightened that his hands shook and he spilled all the water in the cup.

"No...sorry, I'm a little nervous."

As Wu Yusen said this, he put down the cup, then quickly stood up and used a paper towel to wipe away the spilled water.

While Wu Yusen was wiping things, Lin Daoqiu suddenly felt strange. He didn't understand why Wu Yusen was so frightened when he heard Zhong Chuhong's name.

After John Woo finished wiping, he sat down again. Although he had a smile on his face, it always felt like he was smiling unnaturally.

"Mr. Wu may not know that I always hate people lying in front of me, so I have to explain this before we talk."

After hearing this, John Woo quickly nodded. He already felt on pins and needles, but he still had to endure it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I promise to tell the truth and I will never lie in front of you."

In fact, John Woo has begun to regret why he had Zhong Chuhong's idea in the first place. If he had known earlier, he would not have done these tricks, and now he doesn't know how to pass Lin Daoqiu's test.

"In that case, Mr. Wu, please answer me, why do you want to invite A Hong to act in your play?"

If it were anyone else, John Woo could have come up with a lot of excuses, such as Chung Chu-hong is beautiful and has acting skills, and movies with her in them will make more money.

But it's okay to fool other people with these words. If Wu Yusen dared to say these words in front of Lin Daoqiu, then he would completely treat Lin Daoqiu as a fool.

"I...I..."

Although John Woo opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, because he felt that none of the excuses he thought of could satisfy Lin Daoqiu.

Even John Woo didn't dare to look at Lin Daoqiu's eyes. He was so panicked now that he was worried that he would tell the truth if he continued like this.

"Mr. Wu? Since you want to invite A Hong to act, don't you even have a reason?"

Lin Daoqiu frowned slightly, and John Woo was hesitant and unable to complete a sentence, which made it difficult not to doubt his intentions.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. I was wrong. I shouldn't have made that idea. I was obsessed for a moment. Please forgive me."

It was unbearable to have Lin Daoqiu staring at him like this, and Wu Yusen suddenly collapsed in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Listening to what John Woo said, Lin Daoqiu immediately realized that something was wrong. It seemed that he had other motives for inviting Zhong Chuhong to film.

But Zhong Chuhong herself has nothing for John Woo to take pictures of. After all, there are many beautiful actresses in Hong Kong. Moreover, Zhong Chuhong is not the sexy goddess in future generations. She is just a beauty at best.

The only person who could make John Woo accomplish something that he had to put so much effort into, and think of Zhong Chuhong like this, was himself.

Only then did Lin Daoqiu realize that Wu Yusen was not targeting Zhong Chuhong, but was using Zhong Chuhong as bait to catch a big fish like himself.

"You are really a talent. You dare to put your idea on my head. I think you won't be called John Woo anymore. You might as well call me Wu DaDa."

Lin Daoqiu had a stern look on his face and it was clear that he was very angry. Thanks to him, he had given the other party an extra three hundred thousand yuan in budget before. This guy was really ungrateful.

John Woo, who was very nervous before, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed after he told the story.

After he finished wiping his tears, John Woo suddenly stood up and bowed to Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. I know you won't forgive me no matter what I say now. I will leave Xiangjiang now and never appear in front of you again."

Wu Yusen thought that Lin Daoqiu would definitely ban him after knowing what he had done, so he had already planned to leave Xiangjiang and go to Baodao to make a living.

But just as John Woo was walking towards the door, he had just taken two steps when Lin Daoqiu's slow voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Did I tell you to leave?"

When Wu Yusen heard this, he immediately stopped and then turned back to look at Lin Daoqiu with a blank expression.

Lin Daoqiu just pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned for the other person to come back and sit down.

I didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu was going to do, but John Woo still returned to his seat and sat down.

"I guess you left Xiangjiang because you wanted to go to Treasure Island, right?"

In the last life, John Woo was sent to Treasure Island by Golden Harvest to film because of a failure in filming, so Lin Daoqiu could easily guess what he was thinking.

John Woo didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to guess what he was thinking right away. Although he was shocked, he nodded.

"Do you think if I don't nod, if you go to Treasure Island, someone will dare to ask you to make a movie?"

John Woo didn't think so much at first, but when Lin Daoqiu said this, he turned pale with fright.

With Lin Daoqiu's strength in Xiangjiang, as long as he lets out a word, not only in Xiangjiang, but even in Treasure Island, no one will dare to ask him to make a movie.

When he thought that his future was dark, John Woo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
