Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Chapter IX Conditions of Forgiveness

If they are really willing to spend 100,000 yuan to invite Guo Youhua to act in a play, then there is no reason why Director Huang should not agree.

However, unless Lin Daoqiu is out of his mind, it is absolutely impossible for him to spend such a large sum of money to invite Guo Youhua. If anyone knew about it, they would laugh at others for being so rich.

If it really costs 100,000 yuan to hire Guo Youhua, how much will it cost to hire Yuan Biao? If Yuan Biao knew that Guo Youhua received a salary of 100,000 yuan, he would definitely be very unhappy in comparison.

"Director Huang, is there no room for negotiation?" Although Lin Daoqiu was very angry at Director Huang's difficulty, he still forced himself to calm down first.

Manager Huang sneered: "Haha... haven't I already set out the conditions? Either you give me 100,000 yuan and I will sign the contract immediately, or we won't negotiate."

Lin Daoqiu even wondered if he had a grudge against Manager Huang before. Otherwise, it was really hard to figure out how the other party would make things difficult for them like this.

It is impossible to spend so much money to sign Guo Youhua. It can be said that there is nothing to talk about. However, Lin Daoqiu finally wanted to try harder, but what he said next made Manager Huang angry.

Got it

Lin Daoqiu asked Manager Huang: "I wonder if I can meet Miss Fang."

This sentence made Manager Huang frown at once. He did not want Fang Yihua to know about this matter, because once she knew about it, Fang Yihua would most likely agree to loan Guo Youhua out.

You must know that Fong Yihua is famous for being thrifty. Many directors at Shaw Brothers have suffered from her. When Li Hanxiang's movie needed ten bamboo tubes for blowing bubbles, it only cost ten yuan, but Fong Yihua only approved five.

Fang Yihua would never refuse anything that could create profits for the company. In addition, Guo Youhua was not well-known in the film industry. Manager Huang could not think of a reason why Fang Yihua would refuse.

"Miss Fang won't see you, you have to give up." Manager Huang would not let Lin Daoqiu and the others go to see Fang Yihua. He even immediately picked up the phone and called security to come in and chase them away.

Unexpectedly, he would be kicked out when he first arrived at Shaw Brothers. Before Lin Daoqiu could sigh, two security guards had already rushed to Director Huang's office.

Looking at the security guard at the door who was eyeing him and Wen Jun, he could only stand up and shrugged at Manager Huang: "Well, since Manager Huang hates us so much, I don't have anything to say."

Manager Huang snorted coldly and said to the security guard: "Kick them out, these two are here to cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, the security guard immediately stepped forward to take Lin Daoqiu and Wen Juan out, but Lin Daoqiu waved his hand first: "Don't bother you two, we will leave on our own."

Under the "escort" of security, Lin Daoqiu and Wen Juan could only walk out honestly.

He originally thought that today's trip was in vain, but what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that when he was going down the stairs, he suddenly saw Guo Youhua and a woman walking up.

"Miss Guo, I didn't expect that we would meet again." Upon seeing Guo Youhua, Lin Daoqiu greeted him with a wry smile.

As soon as Guo Youhua saw Lin Daoqiu, a surprised expression appeared on her face. She didn't expect to meet him here. Could it be that what Lin Daoqiu said to her at the bank yesterday was true?

"Niuniu, who is this?" the woman next to Guo Youhua asked.

"Oh...he...is he?" Guo Youhua didn't ask Lin Daoqiu's name yesterday, so she didn't know how to address him.

"My name is Lin Daoqiu, and I'm here to invite Miss Guo to star in a movie..." Lin Daoqiu looked back at the third floor, and then continued: "But the supervisor here said that he has to pay 100,000 yuan to sign the contract. I will give

If you can't afford it, you will be kicked out."

When Guo Youhua and the women beside her heard what Lin Daoqiu said, their faces showed expressions of surprise almost at the same time.

"How could this happen?" Guo Youhua couldn't believe what Lin Daoqiu said. There were only a handful of actors in Shaw Brothers who could get a salary of 100,000 yuan for a movie. She was just a newcomer. How could she get a salary of 100,000 yuan?

A salary of 10,000 yuan.

"Miss Guo, I can testify that what Brother Qiu said is true." Wen Jun quickly stood up. He and Guo Youhua had met several times.

"Screenwriter Wen, why are you here?" Guo Youhua just didn't notice that Wen Juan was here too.

If she didn't believe what Lin Daoqiu said, but now even Wen Juan said so, it proved that Lin Daoqiu was not lying.

Wenjun explained: "I am one of the screenwriters of this play."

When Guo Youhua heard that this was the case, she nodded, but the woman wearing glasses next to Guo Youhua immediately showed a serious expression on her face after hearing what Lin Daoqiu and Wen Juan said.

"You guys go do your work first." She asked the security guards to leave, but the two security guards didn't even ask a word and just left obediently.

Lin Daoqiu did not recognize the woman in front of him, and it seemed that she was not an actress. After all, her appearance was very ordinary, but judging from her temperament, she should be from the management of Shaw Brothers.

"Hello, my name is Shi Wenyan, and I am the assistant manager of the purchasing department." Shi Wenyan introduced herself to Lin Daoqiu and Wen Juan.

Lin Daoqiu couldn't help being secretly surprised when he heard this. You must know that the manager of the purchasing department at this time was Fang Yihua. Since she was Fang Yihua's assistant, it was no wonder that the two security guards were so obedient.

Guo Youhua looked at Shi Wenyan with a worried look. If word about this sky-high remuneration spreads, will anyone dare to ask her to film in the future? This will have a huge impact on her.

"Please give me some time, please. I'll go and find out what happened right away. Niuniu, please chat with the two of them for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go."

Shi Wenyan wanted to go to Director Huang and ask why he offered such an outrageous price to Lin Daoqiu. Although it is reasonable to say that the people in the purchasing department have no control over the drama department, the purchasing department has the final say in Shaw Brothers Film Company at this time.

.

After Shi Wenyan left, Guo Youhua looked at Lin Daoqiu with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, there must be a mistake in this matter. Don't be angry yet. Sister Wenyan will find out the matter soon."

"How can I not be angry? This is too outrageous. He is just bullying people. I came here with sincerity, but in the end he asked security to kick me out."

Lin Daoqiu pretended to be very angry, which made Guo Youhua so anxious that she didn't know what to say. She was only an eighteen-year-old girl, but she had never encountered such a thing.

At a loss, Guo Youhua opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. She could only cast a look for help at Wen Jun next to her, hoping that he could help her explain to Lin Daoqiu.

"Miss Guo, in fact, Brother Qiu is not to blame for this matter. That manager Huang is so abominable. He has a bad attitude and makes arbitrary prices. He clearly wants to kill you." Wen Juan was also screwed by manager Huang.

How can I help the other person when I'm angry?

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry. I didn't know that something like this would happen, but I can guarantee that it will never happen again." Guo Youhua could only apologize to Lin Daoqiu and Wen Juan. She looked anxious.

To the point of crying.

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Juan and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to go to the toilet? Go quickly now."

Wen Juan's eyes widened slightly. When did he say that he was going to the toilet? However, he was still an eye-catching person. After a moment of surprise, he nodded quickly: "That's right, I almost forgot if Brother Qiu didn't tell me.

Let’s go to the toilet first and you can chat.”

After Wen Jun left, Lin Daoqiu turned back to Guo Youhua and said, "If you agree to have dinner with me, then I will pretend that nothing has happened."

If it were another man who said this to her, Guo Youhua would have turned around and left long ago. What's more, what made her very unhappy was that Lin Daoqiu was clearly taking advantage of the situation by making such a request at this time.
