Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

There was still half an hour before the agreed time, so Li Hanxiang rushed to the restaurant first to wait for Lin Daoqiu.

He had already called Hu Jinquan before and told him everything.

Hu Jinquan originally thought about having dinner with Li Hanxiang in the evening, but he didn't expect that he had already returned to Xiangjiang.

Hu Jinquan was very moved when he heard that Li Hanxiang was running around for his own affairs.

However, on the phone, Li Hanxiang also said something to him that made Hu Jinquan very troubled.

"Jin Quan, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is an excellent opportunity for you. At our age, it is difficult to encounter such a good opportunity, so I hope you can take advantage of it."

He had clearly rejected Lin Daoqiu, but what Li Hanxiang said meant that he wanted him to agree to Lin Daoqiu's conditions.

If someone else had said this to Hu Jinquan, he would have refused without even thinking about it.

But the person who told him this was Li Hanxiang, his sworn brother, and he really had to listen to what he said.

"Brother, I will listen to you."

The phone call didn't last long, and Hu Jinquan agreed without much thought.

Li Hanxiang was originally worried that Hu Jinquan would still persist, but now that he agreed, Li Hanxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's best if you figure it out."

While waiting for Lin Daoqiu, Li Hanxiang kept thinking about how to change the conversation.

A few minutes before the time agreed with Lin Daoqiu, there was a knock on the door outside the box. Then when the waiter pushed the door open, Li Hanxiang had already stood up from his seat.

"Mr. Lin, this is Director Li Hanxiang Li."

In addition to Lin Daoqiu, Wang Jing was also called over to be a guest.

After all, he and Li Hanxiang had never met before. If it was just the two of them, it would inevitably be a little awkward.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, this is Li Hanxiang."

Li Hanxiang immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and shook Lin Daoqiu's hand.

“I have long admired Director Li’s name, and I have seen quite a few of your films (which have not been made yet).”

Li Hanxiang just smiled and said nothing. He has not been in Hong Kong for the past two years, but secretly went north to prepare for a co-production.

Since the disbandment of Shaw Brothers last year, Li Hanxiang has less time to stay in Hong Kong.

But for the name Lin Daoqiu, Li Hanxiang can be said to be very familiar with it.

Lin Daoqiu looked almost as young as his daughter, and he was already a tycoon in charge of the Hong Kong film industry, which really made him feel sad.

After the three of them sat down, Li Hanxiang took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Lin Daoqiu.

"Uncle Xiang is so polite. Just let me do these little things."

Although Lin Daoqiu is the youngest among the three, no one dares to regard him as a junior.

Li Hanxiang is the elder and Lin Daoqiu is the boss, so the task of serving tea and pouring wine naturally falls on Wang Jing.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me."

Li Hanxiang was worried before that if Lin Daoqiu didn't want to meet him, he wouldn't know what to do.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that in the end, Li Hanxiang will have to ask his sixth uncle to help him come out and make peace.

"Director Li is too polite. In fact, I have no dissatisfaction with Director Hu. On the contrary, I admire him very much. Although I didn't have the chance to cooperate this time, I still hope to cooperate with Director Hu again in the future."

Lin Daoqiu originally thought that the reason why Li Hanxiang was eager to see him was because he wanted to be a peacemaker, so before eating, he made his attitude known so that Li Hanxiang could feel relieved earlier.

Sure enough, when Lin Daoqiu said this, Li Hanxiang's face immediately showed a happy smile.

"I have long heard that Mr. Lin is open-minded, and today he is indeed well-deserved. I would like to pay a toast to Mr. Lin."

After Li Hanxiang finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank the wine in one sip.

After the three drank a glass, Li Hanxiang helped Lin Daoqiu fill another glass.

"I went to see Jin Quan yesterday, and he actually felt very regretful. He also said that if there was a chance, he hoped to make up for this regret."

Anyone who doesn’t know Hu Jinquan will definitely be frightened by Li Hanxiang’s words.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't say it, he didn't think what Li Hanxiang said was Hu Jinquan's true thoughts.

"Actually, if this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was directed by Director Hu, they would definitely complement each other, but it's a pity..."

This had to be said to be a pity, Lin Daoqiu just sighed casually.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Hanxiang had been waiting for Lin Daoqiu to say such words.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you can give Jin Quan another chance."

Li Hanxiang suddenly looked at Lin Daoqiu solemnly.

"How can Director Li say this?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't understand what Li Hanxiang meant. Did he want him to give up the casting rights to Hu Jinquan? If that was the case, then he might be disappointed by Li Hanxiang.

"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong. I have had a careful discussion with Jin Quan. He is willing to accept the conditions offered by Lin Daoqiu and take over the director's position of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Li Hanxiang looked at Lin Daoqiu eagerly, as if he was afraid that this opportunity would slip away.

"Didn't Director Hu insist on changing the roles?"

Although Lin Daoqiu had no expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Although he didn't know how Li Hanxiang persuaded Hu Jinquan to accept his conditions, Lin Daoqiu was still happy to hand over "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Hu Jinquan as long as the other party could film according to his requirements.

Li Hanxiang quickly shook his head.

"Originally Jin Quan was very insistent at first, but I told him that Mr. Lin is the author of this novel and must be the person who knows the play best. If this is the case, then the actor he selected must also be the best.

Appropriate.”

Li Hanxiang secretly flattered Lin Daoqiu, but if anything, he was right.

Lin Daoqiu really wanted to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" a success sincerely, so the roles he chose were all carefully considered.

Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu could have found the most famous actor to play this drama.

Realizing that when he was speaking, Lin Daoqiu had a faint smile on his face, and Li Hanxiang knew that what he had just said had touched Lin Daoqiu's heart.

"If Director Hu doesn't insist on changing roles, I can consider letting him shoot this film."

I believe this is what Li Hanxiang wants to hear most from Lin Daoqiu's mouth.

"Then I'd like to thank you..."

Li Hanxiang just raised his cup and before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Daoqiu raising his hand.

"Director Li, don't worry. If Director Hu can agree to this condition, I can hand over "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to him."

"I wonder what the conditions are?"

Li Hanxiang looked at Lin Daoqiu with a puzzled expression.
