Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

As soon as Lin Daoqiu and Shi Wenyan left, Andy Lau was suddenly surrounded by people at the scene.

"Brother Hua, you are so prosperous now."

"If Mr. Lin likes me, I will be able to achieve great success. Brother Hua will have to give me a hand when the time comes."

"I have long said that Brother Hua has a bright future, and that playing a small role is only a temporary thing. Look at what I said, will it come true immediately?"

Those extras who were laughing at Andy Lau before came forward to congratulate him one after another. They changed their previous attitudes and all wanted to have a relationship with Andy Lau.

At this time, the director and assistant director who had been watching the show had already arrived in front of Andy Lau.

"Hua Zai, congratulations. By the way, there is a character in our play who was injured before and couldn't find anyone to play it. I think you are quite suitable for this role, so why don't you play it?"

The director, who did not know Andy Lau at all and had never taken him seriously before, seemed to have been replaced by another person now. Not only did he want to give Andy Lau a supporting role, he even wanted to give him an additional role.

Even though this character has never appeared in this drama, it is just a matter of changing a few scenes, which is not a problem for them at all.

"Brother Hua, please take good care of me in the future."

The assistant director was holding a sumptuous plate of lunch in his hand, and handed it to Andy Lau respectfully.

The lunch box was filled to the brim with chicken legs, meat, eggs and vegetables. It was countless times better than what the sidekicks were eating. You must know that this is the treatment only the protagonists get.

"Brother K, did you bring the wrong meal?"

Andy Lau took it and took a look and found that the meal was so rich. At first, he thought the other party had taken it by mistake.

"Don't call me Brother K, just call me Ah K. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me and I, Ah K, will find a way to get it for you."

The assistant director who had previously pushed Andy Lau to get out of the way seemed to have lost his memory and did not even remember how badly he had treated Andy Lau just now.

"Then...thank you very much."

Andy Lau did not intend to argue with the other party. He knew very well that the reason why these people had such a big change in their attitude toward him was all because of Lin Daoqiu, so he must seize this opportunity.

If they don't perform well by then, when they come back to play small roles, their faces may be back to the way they were before.

…………

"Mr. Lin, Andy Lau is currently an artist signed by TVB. If you want to loan him to ATV to film a drama, it doesn't seem appropriate."

Following Lin Daoqiu on the way out of the Clear Water Bay studio, Shi Wenyan wanted to test the other party's attitude and see if he could keep this TV series on TVB.

"Oh...Has Andy signed a contract with you?"

Lin Daoqiu turned his head and glanced at Shi Wenyan, with a playful look in his eyes.

You must know that Andy Lau has just been admitted to TVB. Lin Daoqiu is very sure that TVB has not signed a contract with him yet.

Lin Daoqiu saw through her intentions, and Shi Wenyan smiled awkwardly.

"Even if he hasn't signed a contract, he is still an artist in the wireless training class now, and it will only be a matter of time before he signs a contract."

Shi Wenyan could only offer a small rebuttal to the other party, but her words did not sound binding on Lin Daoqiu at all.

If Lin Daoqiu really wanted to poach Andy Lau, it would only be a matter of one sentence.

He can definitely ask ATV to sign Andy Lau, and then TVB will just stare blankly.

"Don't worry, I have no plans to sign Andy to ATV, and I plan to put this drama on TVB."

Lin Daoqiu had already planned it before he came. Now in the ratings battle between ATV and TVB, TVB is still at the top.

So he planned to put this drama on TVB, and not only that, Lin Daoqiu also planned to use a group of newcomers from TVB to film this drama.

"Is what Mr. Lin said true? That would be great."

Shi Wenyan didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so generous and willing to help TVB film a drama. She had to report this matter to Fang Yihua as soon as possible after returning.

"I haven't had time to come here and joke with you, but I have to make one point in advance."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

Shi Wenyan thought Lin Daoqiu was going to make some excessive demands.

"I hope to get TVB's full support for this drama. In other words, I can film it however I want and you are not allowed to interfere."

If someone else had said this in front of Shi Wenyan, I believe Shi Wenyan would have sprayed him all over.

But the person in front of her was Lin Daoqiu, who was qualified and had the strength to say such things, so naturally Shi Wenyan did not dare to say anything more.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, Wireless will definitely support you, and I believe Miss Fang will not go against you on this matter."

Shi Wenyan, who knows Fang Yihua's personality very well, believes that she will never cause trouble for Lin Daoqiu, and as long as this drama stays on TVB, it will definitely be a good thing for TVB.

"I just don't know how much budget Mr. Lin plans to have for this drama?"

This is what Shi Wenyan is most concerned about now. After all, they really welcome Lin Daoqiu's initiative to help TVB film dramas, but filming is not just what Lin Daoqiu wants to do.

For example, they have to negotiate things like Lin Daoqiu's remuneration and the budget of this drama first.

"I haven't thought about the budget yet. I'll wait and see how much I spend on it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't give an accurate answer, which made Shi Wenyan very angry, but she couldn't do anything about Lin Daoqiu.

But fortunately, this is just a TV series. The cost of filming a movie is only a few million. TVB can still afford the money, so Shi Wenyan did not get too entangled in this issue.

As long as it gets good ratings by then, I believe Fang Yihua will not care too much about the budget issue with Lin Daoqiu.

"Then you don't know what Mr. Lin's remuneration is?"

It can be said that this is the core issue. It sounds like Lin Daoqiu plans to produce this drama himself.

But the problem now is that judging from Lin Daoqiu's current worth, Fang Yihua will definitely not be willing to pay more, but if he pays less, it will be tantamount to humiliating Lin Daoqiu, which is not good.

"I plan to shoot about 40 episodes of this drama, and you can just give me two million."

Hearing this, Shi Wenyan's face suddenly turned extremely dark.

The two million remuneration for filming a TV series has already exceeded TVB's highest price.

But the problem is that even if Lin Daoqiu is given a remuneration of two million, it seems to be a matter of course.

"I have to go back and report this matter to Miss Fang, and she will make the decision."

This is not something Shi Wenyan can decide. The person who can finally make the decision is Fang Yihua.
