Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

I originally thought that I would just go away and fly away, but now it seems that Lin Daoqiu has no intention of just sparing him.

But if you think about it carefully, it feels normal. If you want to blame it, I have to blame myself for being so bold as to have Lin Daoqiu's idea.

Now that he has been caught by the other party, how could Lin Daoqiu spare himself?

He was wondering if he would leave the film industry from now on. Whenever John Woo thought about this, his heart would feel a dull pain.

"It seems that you are very depressed, but I am not such an unreasonable person. I plan to give you a chance to see if you can save yourself."

After Wu Yusen, who was already completely desperate, heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he slowly raised his head and looked at him with an incredible look.

Lin Daoqiu had no intention of banning John Woo now, because it was simply unnecessary, and he would not be so vicious as to ban him just because of one of his mistakes.

Speaking of which, John Woo was just opportunistic and only wanted to use Chung Chu-hong to attract his attention to "Money Makes Trouble". For Lin Daoqiu, this was far from rising to the level of hating him.

If I only care about such small things, then I would be too narrow-minded.

So Lin Daoqiu looked very angry, but mostly he just used this expression to scare John Woo.

"I wonder what I can do for Mr. Lin?"

John Woo was not a fool. As soon as he heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he knew that the other party must have something for him to do. But what he couldn't figure out was whether Lin Daoqiu's ability was really useful to him?

I believe that if he goes out and says a word, people who want to help him will flock to him, and Wu Yusen thinks that he does not have any skills that can make Lin Daoqiu fancy.

Suddenly, John Woo thought of a possibility that frightened him.

Lin Daoqiu wanted to do it by himself, maybe it was something shady. Otherwise, why would he look for him if he didn't look for someone else?

One look at John Woo's face and you can tell that he must be thinking wildly.

"Don't be so nervous. I just want to take a gamble with you and see if God is willing to let you stay in Hong Kong to make movies."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, John Woo nodded in understanding. If he didn't gamble with Lin Daoqiu, he wouldn't even have a chance, so he planned to give it a try.

"Let's take the box office of "Money Makes Trouble" as our bet this time. If you can win over 10 million, then I will forgive you for what you did before, but if you lose..."

Lin Daoqiu paused deliberately, then he looked at John Woo and said with a smile: "Then I advise you to change careers as soon as possible."

If he were to make other movies, John Woo might still have some confidence that he could achieve it, and now that there are dual screenings, the difficulty is several times smaller than before.

But the problem now is that in his opinion, it is not that difficult for the movie "Money Makes Trouble" to break over 10 million yuan, even if it has a dual screening.

What made him despair was that there was only one protagonist, Xu Guanying, whom everyone knew by name. The other people's help at the box office was almost zero at the beginning. You can imagine how difficult it would be for this drama to break over 10 million in box office.

But even with so many difficulties, there is no way out for John Woo. He must either agree to Lin Daoqiu's bet, or consider changing his career to other jobs now.

After being in the film industry for so many years, if John Woo, now in his 30s, were to suddenly change careers, he wouldn't know what he could do.

"Although this matter is difficult, since Mr. Lin thinks highly of me, I will take a gamble with you."

With no way out, John Woo could only choose to gamble with Lin Daoqiu. Although the hope was very slim, he felt that it was not true that he would definitely lose.

But before leaving, John Woo suddenly made a request to Lin Daoqiu that seemed a bit incredible.

"I wonder if Mr. Lin can let Miss Zhong Chuhong be the heroine of my movie?"

As soon as John Woo said these words, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what John Woo was thinking, but at this moment he actually dared to make this request in front of him.

Perhaps because he had reached this point, John Woo felt that he had nothing to be afraid of, so he simply broke the pot.

"No, she's not free."

Lin Daoqiu never thought about spoiling John Woo, so he refused without thinking.

John Woo seemed to have guessed that Lin Daoqiu would answer this way, so he didn't say much, just nodded slightly, then got up and left Lin Daoqiu's office.

…………

The news about John Woo filming for New Oriental somehow reached Zou Wenhuai's ears.

"This John Woo is so bold. He dared to help New Oriental film a movie without telling us. We can't just let this matter go."

The reason why Zou Wenhuai was so angry was because this incident happened before they cooperated with Lin Daoqiu.

On the side, He Guanchang's opinion of John Woo was not much better. He had almost the same thoughts as Zou Wenhuai.

"John Woo is actually a very talented director, but it's a pity that he didn't understand his abilities clearly and thought that just by making a few blockbuster movies, he would be great."

It can be said that John Woo is also unlucky. If he didn't have Zhong Chuhong's idea, so many things would definitely not happen.

But now it's better. Not to mention whether the bet with Lin Daoqiu can be won, Jiahe still knows that he secretly helped New Oriental film movies. Although the two families have now joined forces, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang don't intend to let it go.

Not to mention that he is still from Jiahe and sneaks out to help others film. If they sit back and do nothing, others may follow suit in the future. How can Jiahe continue to operate in the future?

"After this incident is over, let him go to Treasure Island to film. Let him calm down there and figure out what he can and cannot do."

Zou Wenhuai is really angry this time. Unless "Money Makes Trouble" can achieve very good box office results, maybe he will be particularly kind to John Woo.

However, Zou Wenhuai did not know about the bet between Wu Yusen and Lin Daoqiu, so his idea of ​​preparing to teach Wu Yusen a lesson would probably be redundant.

Poor John Woo was preparing for the filming of "Money Makes Trouble". When he heard the bad news, he seemed to be calm and not affected by those rumors.

After all, the only one who can save him now is himself. If the movie "Money Makes Trouble" can be filmed well, he can turn danger into good fortune.

But if this drama fails, he has nothing to complain about and will honestly switch to other jobs at that time.
