Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"I didn't expect Mr. Mai to guess it so quickly. Did you study psychology before?"

Seeing the shocked expression on McDonald's face, Lin Daoqiu smiled sheepishly.

But at this time, McDonald couldn't laugh at all. He was completely stunned because he didn't expect Lin Daoqiu's casting of the leading role to be so casual.

It's not that McDonald thinks Miao Kexiu is not suitable, but for such an important TV series, at least a few people should be selected first, and then the most suitable one will be selected after auditions.

In the end, Lin Daoqiu was lucky. He decided on the starring role after only one meeting, which almost made McDonald mad to death.

"Mr. Lin, I don't have the time to joke with you. I won't go with you to meet Miao Kexiu, and I won't agree with you deciding on the heroine so hastily."

If McDonald's could still bear the matter involving Lin Zhengying, he couldn't bear it when it came to the heroine. He had to let Lin Daoqiu know that filming can't be so casual.

"It's really hard to communicate." Lin Daoqiu muttered with his lips curled up.

McDonald happened to hear Lin Daoqiu's muttering clearly. He frowned and said, "It's not that I'm difficult to communicate with. I have to be responsible for Li's."

It seems that McDonald's attitude is very determined, and he must prevent this incident from happening today.

"Okay, then please come back, Mr. Mai." Lin Daoqiu could only shrug at the other party.

Since the two people couldn't reach an agreement, he had no intention of convincing the other party. After all, it would take a lot of energy, and Lin Daoqiu felt that it was not worth it.

When he heard Lin Daoqiu asking him to go back, of course Mai Danxiong knew that he was going to let others take him to find Miao Kexiu.

Originally he wanted to try harder, but judging from Lin Daoqiu's expression, it seemed that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he had to choose the last method.

"Mr. Lin, I'm going to see the general manager now and tell him everything about today. I don't agree with what you did today. I hope you can take care of yourself."

McDonald hopes that Huang Xizhao will stand up and stop Lin Daoqiu, otherwise he feels that if this "Ip Man" continues like this, there will definitely be big trouble.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu also wanted to test Huang Xizhao's attitude. If he was unwilling to support him on this matter, then there would be no need to film the film.

After all, this is just the beginning, and we don’t know how much trouble there will be in the future. If Huang Xizhao is not willing to support it from the beginning, then Lin Daoqiu will not be willing to spend time and energy on this TV series.

Following Madang Xiong back to Huang Xizhao's office, the other party did not expect them to come back so soon.

"What happened?" Huang Xizhao noticed that McDonald, who usually acted carelessly in front of him, suddenly looked serious. He knew at a glance that something must have happened.

McDonald stepped forward and told Huang Xizhao what had just happened, but while Lin Daoqiu was complaining to Huang Xizhao, he walked aside and admired the furnishings in the office.

After listening to McDonald's words, Huang Xizhao also felt that Lin Daoqiu's approach was a bit outrageous. How could such an important matter like casting be so careless?

That Lin Ching-ying cast him as Ip Man without even being a leading actor, but just met Miao Kexiu and named her as the heroine. It's no wonder that McDonald's was so angry.

Huang Xizhao found that after McDonald's words, Lin Daoqiu did not explain to him, not even a word of defense. He seemed to be very relaxed.

If you want to stop Lin Daoqiu, it is actually very easy. You only need to tell him that these two people are not suitable. I believe that it will be useless no matter how hard the other party insists. After all, he is the general manager of Li's.

But Huang Xizhao knew very well that if he really said this, he believed that the relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu would crack. I'm afraid if something goes wrong, the two parties would start discussing the termination of the contract.

Whether to believe in his own professional judgment or to believe in Lin Daoqiu, who became famous at a young age, Huang Xizhao suddenly fell into a choice between the two.

"Boss, I actually think Mr. Lin's idea is quite good. After all, no one has filmed the subject of Ip Man before. If it is filmed, it may have a good response. I have a good idea here."

Huang Xizhao looked up at McDonald. He more or less guessed what the other person was going to say, but he still nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

"It's better to let Mr. Lin write the script, and leave the filming to us, Li's. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" McDonald didn't dare to say that he would leave it to him, because he was worried that saying so would make Lin Daoqiu angry.

Conflicting thoughts.

It can be said that McDonald's method is a very safe idea for the TV station. As long as the script is good, he believes that under his control, the drama will definitely have good ratings.

But just as McDonald was talking, Huang Xizhao's eyes had already turned to Lin Daoqiu, because Huang Xizhao had already guessed what McDonald was going to say.

"Ah Xiong, please go down first. Don't worry about this movie. Just concentrate on filming "Crocodile Tears" during this period." Huang Xizhao thought about it and finally decided to let McDonald withdraw from Ip Man's creative team.

McDonald originally thought that Huang Xizhao would be on his side, but he never expected that Huang Xizhao would choose to believe Lin Daoqiu, which he couldn't accept.

He looked at Huang Xizhao with a blank expression, as if he couldn't believe that the other party would make such a decision.

"Don't look at me like this. I've told Mr. Lin before that he will decide how to shoot this movie. Li's staff will support it unconditionally."

Huang Xizhao was actually helpless, but since he invited Lin Daoqiu, he didn't intend to change his mind easily. He could only influence one movie, so what would happen even if it failed? Huang Xizhao could still afford to pay.

McDonald's mouth was open and he didn't know what to say, but he soon felt relieved. After all, he had been with Huang Xizhao for so many years, and he could still guess what the other person was thinking.

"I know, boss, I'm going to work first." When McDonald understood what Huang Xizhao meant, he seemed to become much more relaxed, and the serious expression on his face had disappeared.

After McDonald left, Lin Daoqiu asked: "Mr. Huang really believes in me so much?"

"I don't believe in you, but I believe in my own vision. I have never misjudged anyone, and I believe this time will be no exception."

Huang Xizhao looks very confident, at least this is a positive sign for Lin Daoqiu, which means Huang Xizhao will not let others hold him back.

But considering that Lin Daoqiu had no previous experience in filming TV series, Huang Xizhao still sent Xiao Ruoyuan to assist him. Xiao Ruoyuan was much easier to communicate with than McDonald.

Huang Xizhao told him everything, made it clear to him, and asked him to assist Lin Daoqiu in his filming work.

If Xiao Ruoyuan still doesn't understand what the boss means after hearing this, then he is really confused.

"Don't worry, boss, I will assist Mr. Lin in filming "Ip Man"." Xiao Ruoyuan promised in front of Huang Xizhao.

At this moment, Huang Xizhao was temporarily relieved. What he did next was entirely up to Lin Daoqiu himself. There was only so much he could help.
