Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Leaving the Southeast brothers to wait in the car, Lin Daoqiu took Wenjun and walked towards the administration building of Shaw Company.

After entering, Lin Daoqiu came to the front desk lady and said: "Hello, I want to meet the director of your drama department."

"What's the matter, sir?" the receptionist asked, looking up at Lin Daoqiu.

"I want to invite actors from Shaw Brothers to make a movie."

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. He didn't know anyone from Shaw Brothers Company at all, and the same was true for Wen Jun. It wouldn't have been so troublesome if he had been Wen Jun in later generations, but now he is just a little-known screenwriter.

It seemed that this was not the first time the receptionist had encountered such a situation. She said with a smile: "You two, please go to the drama department on the third floor to find Director Huang."

After Lin Daoqiu thanked the other party, he took Wen Juan towards the third floor.

When going up the stairs, Lin Daoqiu told Wen Juan: "It's up to you to talk to him this time."

Wen Jun turned to look at Lin Daoqiu with a confused expression on his face. He didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu didn't talk to him himself. He was just a newcomer and had no experience.

Lin Daoqiu explained to Wenjun: "You are Li's screenwriter. I have no identity. If I go to talk, the other party will be a little worried."

When Wen Juan heard this, he felt that what Lin Daoqiu said was right. He nodded quickly, but after taking a few steps, Wen Juan still showed hesitation and said: "But I can't speak, what should I do if the negotiation fails?

"

"Don't worry. With me by your side, you just have to follow the normal procedures. The bottom line is that you can lend her 20,000 yuan for a month." Lin Daoqiu whispered into Wen Juan's ear.

Twenty thousand yuan for Guo Youhua to make a movie is considered a very reasonable price at this time. After all, actors at this time are only thinking about how to perform well and have no other messy ideas.

But if we put it in future generations, considering what happened between her and Lin Jianyue last year, and the popularity of Li's pairing up with Leslie Cheung as a couple, I'm afraid Guo Youhua's net worth will increase many times.

After arriving on the third floor, Lin Daoqiu and Wen Juan inquired about the drama director's office. They came to the door of the office, and Wen Juan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A man's voice soon came from inside. After receiving permission, Wen Juan and Lin Daoqiu opened the door and walked in.

Manager Huang looked up and found two strangers coming in. He looked at each other with a puzzled expression on their faces.

"Who are you two?" Manager Huang looked at the two and asked.

"Hello, I'm Wen Jun, the screenwriter of Li's. I'm here this time to invite Guo Youhua to star in a movie." Wen Jun quickly explained his intention to the other party.

When Manager Huang heard this, he was stunned for two seconds, and then he yelled.

"Both of you, please take a seat." Manager Huang asked Wen Juan and Lin Daoqiu to sit down, and then he poured a glass of water for them, but during the process of pouring water, Manager Huang's mind was running rapidly.

It's not unusual for people from other companies to hire actors from Shaw Brothers to film movies. The only reason why they want to hire actors from Shaw Brothers is that she only played a role in "A Dream of Red Mansions" last year and was not the protagonist.

Although there was a lot of confusion in his heart, Manager Huang did not show it. He put down the water and returned to his seat.

"I have a casual question to ask Mr. Wen. There are many actresses in Li's. Since you are the screenwriter of Li's, you should give priority to them. Why did you suddenly find Miss Guo?"

Wen Jun quickly shook his head, "This drama has nothing to do with Li. After careful consideration, we felt that Miss Guo is very suitable for the heroine of this drama, so we invited her to participate."

It seems that Guo Youhua and Lai's TV have quite a connection. After she went to RB to study, she was invited by Lai's TV to return to Hong Kong to host a TV show. Last year, she was even cast as Leslie Cheung's on-screen couple.

Manager Huang couldn't get much information from Wen Jun's words. He only knew that this drama had nothing to do with Li.

"May I know what scene Mr. Wen is filming?" Director Huang continued to ask.

"It's a kung fu movie." There's nothing to hide. Even if you don't say it now, they will know it when it comes out.

Initially, Director Huang thought that Wen Jun would come to see Guo Youhua to make a comedy movie or a modern urban comedy movie, but he didn't expect to ask her to make a Kung Fu movie, which is very curious.

You must know that Guo Youhua does not know martial arts and has never filmed any martial arts scenes. This can be seen in her subsequent appearance in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"Oh..." Manager Huang nodded and didn't think much about it. He guessed that the other party asked Guo Youhua to play a vase-type role.

However, as mentioned above this year, the focus should be on cultivating Guo Youhua to become a new generation of girl stars, so Director Huang was not very willing to agree to this loan contract.

Wen Juan noticed that Manager Huang was silent. He looked back at Lin Daoqiu, wondering what he should do now, but Lin Daoqiu just shook his head gently, telling him to calm down.

"It's a pity that Ms. Guo's schedule this year is full and she really can't spare time to lend out filming." Director Huang shook his head and refused to lend out Guo Youhua.

But he was obviously lying, because except for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was released at the end of the year, Guo Youhua's other movies did not have many roles, and they were not all scheduled as Director Huang said.

Moreover, the efficiency of filmmaking in Hong Kong is very high. Except for a few old guys on the Shaw Brothers studio who are striving for perfection, most people can complete a movie in a month.

When Wen Jun heard this, he immediately became anxious. He subconsciously turned back to look at Lin Daoqiu, as if waiting for him to make up his mind.

By this time, Manager Huang had already seen that the person who really made the decision was not Wen Jun, but Lin Daoqiu behind him.

After entering the door, when Wen Jun introduced himself, Manager Huang initially thought that Wen Jun was the one who really decided the matter, but he did not expect that it would be the young man who came in with him.

"Director Huang, I only need to loan Miss Guo out for a month. I believe it will not delay her filming other movies." Originally Lin Daoqiu didn't want to come forward, but since Director Huang had discovered it, he had no choice but to step forward.

.

"I've already told you that Miss Guo's schedule is full, please excuse me." Manager Huang was a little unhappy, and he immediately kicked people out without even thinking about it.

He felt that he was looked down upon by Lin Daoqiu. If not, why would he hide behind instead of talking to himself from the beginning? This was obviously because he looked down on himself.

"As far as I know, Ms. Guo has not appeared in any other movies since last year's Dream of Red Mansions. Director Huang just said that Ms. Guo's schedule has expired. This doesn't seem right."

"This is a secret within the company. I don't need to tell you that an outsider knows it. I'm telling you once. Miss Guo doesn't lend it out. If you don't leave, I will call security."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head. Manager Huang's attitude was really bad. He and Wen Juan had discussed it with him in a good manner from beginning to end, but he actually treated them with this attitude.

"Director Huang, we really want to invite Miss Guo to act in this play. Please help us." Wen Jun could only plead with the other party at this time.

Manager Huang glanced at Wen Juan, and he said with disdain: "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will lend you one month for one hundred thousand yuan."

"One hundred thousand yuan?" Wen Juan stood up from his chair after hearing this.

It is no exaggeration to say that now one hundred thousand yuan can be used to make a movie. Spending one hundred thousand yuan to hire an actress is simply a fantasy. Director Huang is simply making things difficult for them.

"Yes, if you want to loan Miss Guo out, you can, but you have to pay 100,000 yuan. If you can't afford it, then I won't be able to help you." After Supervisor Huang finished speaking, his face was full of pride.

expression.
