Lin Wei followed Wang Jing to watch his post-production of the movie "Brothers and Brothers". The editing staff was invited by Wang Jing, but there were not many editing in this movie, because Lin Wei wrote very well. After Wang Jing shot it, there were not many unnecessary shots. When the editor was editing, he couldn't help but praise Wang Jing for being too frustrating.

Lin Wei accompanied this movie with a song called "I'm Not a Tall, Rich and Handsome". This is an online song from later generations. Lin Wei slightly modified the lyrics to Cantonese, and it was quite appropriate to match the identities of the two male protagonists in the movie.

The post-production of the movie "Brothers in Desperate" was also very fast. After most of the things were finished, Lin Wei took out the script "Beautiful Girl". This movie appeared in 1982 and was a small-cost production, but its box office also reached more than 10 million, so Lin Wei naturally would not let it go. Lin Wei was not planning to shoot the movie himself and planned to hand it over to someone else to direct it.

Wang Jing's next movie is "Seven Days of Fraud", so after discussing with Wang Jing, Lin Wei decided to invite Johnnie To as the director of the movie. However, it was not easy to invite Johnnie To from Shaw Pictures. Lin Wei thought about it and wrote a TV script "I am Kind", which was a TV series that appeared in 1990s. It had very good ratings. It was the ratings champion of Hong Kong back then and one of the top ten TV series with the highest ratings in TVB.

Lin Wei and Wang Jing found Johnnie To. He is now at home. The last movie "The Black Man" starring Zhao Yazhi has achieved good results. Now that the TV series has been filmed, Johnnie To is naturally free.

"Why are you here?" Johnnie To was a little surprised by Lin Wei and the others' visit.

"Our company plans to start filming a movie and want to ask you to be the director." Wang Jing sat on the sofa and then realized his purpose. He had a very familiar relationship with Johnnie To, so he was naturally very casual.

Lin Wei also sat down on the other side of the sofa. While pouring tea for him, Johnnie To asked curiously: "Aren't you the director yourself? Why do you ask me to be a director? Haven't your movie been finished yet?"

"My movie has been finished. The movie I will continue to shoot below is to show the misunderstanding of the seven-day love. The movie you are invited to shoot is called "Beautiful Girl". The style of this movie is not suitable for me, so I asked you to shoot it." Wang Jing explained.

Johnnie To nodded and asked curiously: "How much does your company have? The first filmed has not been released yet, so why should we start shooting the other two movies? By the way, are your movies going to be released in Shaw Brothers theaters?"

"Our company doesn't have much money, and we shoot movies with low cost. As for the film "Brothers in Desperate", it can only be released on Shaw Brothers theaters at the moment. If Shaw Brothers does not agree, we will find another way." Lin Wei replied, putting the TV script "I am Kind" in the briefcase in front of Johnnie To.

"This is a script for Brother Du. I believe it can help Brother Du. I really hope Brother Du can help me shoot that movie. Director Fei Hao said, which will definitely satisfy Brother Du."

"I have no problem here, it's just the company..." Johnnie To said in a dilemma. He is different from Wang Jing. Wang Jing is a free director and can do whatever company he wants to go to, but Johnnie To has a contract with Shaw Pictures. Without the company's consent, he cannot take on jobs casually.

"So, Xiao Wei gave you this script, hoping that you can persuade Boss Shao, Brother Du, it's not the one I praise myself. Xiao Wei's script is definitely the best in Xiangjiang. You will know after reading the script." Wang Jing said with a helping voice.

"Okay, I'll talk about it." Johnnie To nodded and opened the script of "I'm Kind" to watch. He is now a veteran director, and the quality of the script can be roughly seen. After only a few pages, Johnnie To knew that the script was indeed good, much better than the "Female Black Hero Mulan" he filmed.

The script that Lin Wei dared to come up with is naturally good. Although it is not as good as a magical drama like "Going to the Beach", it can be regarded as a classic TV series, which can win the ratings championship of that year, and is one of the top ten TV series with the highest ratings in TVB. No matter how bad it is, it is still a good TV series.

"Haha... This script is very well written. Boss Lin is worthy of being the best literati in Xiangjiang. He writes the novel well and writes the script well. With this script, I believe that I should say something better from Boss Shao." Johnnie To closed the script and felt a little excited. Although Boss Jiang does not value screenwriters, if a good director encounters a good script, he can make classic movies and TV. As a director, who doesn't want to make classic movies and TV himself?

"Then I'll bother Brother Du." Lin Wei smiled and looked at Wang Jing. Judging from the eyes given by Wang Jing, this matter was basically done. When he felt relieved, he used such a script in the hope that he could do it smoothly. You know, movies and TV are not like songs, and there are not many classics that can be called classics. Lin Wei remembers that there are no more than twenty TV series that can be compared with "I am Kind". The others are either worse, or TV series adapted from Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels, and some are TV series from other countries. At present, Lin Wei cannot use them.

The three of them talked for a while, and Lin Wei invited Johnnie To out for a meal. Johnnie To had decided to shoot the "Beautiful Girl" for Lin Wei, so naturally he would not refuse the dinner. The next day, Johnnie To called Lin Wei back, and Boss Shao agreed to Johnnie To come and shoot a movie for Lin Wei. Not long after hanging up Johnnie To's phone call, Wang Jing called Lin Wei again. With the help of his father Wang Tianlin, Shaw Brothers Theater agreed to screen Lin Wei's "Brothers in Desperate" in March next year.

January next year will be the box office champion of the year "Best Partner", so Lin Wei naturally avoided fighting with them. In February, Shaw Brothers had his own important movie released, so Lin Wei and his "Brothers in Desperate" had to wait until March next year. There is no theater chain, and if you want to show it, you have to rely on whether they want it or not, and it will be divided into 46% for 46% for Lin Wei and the others, and 60% for the theater chain. In this case, Wang Tianlin and Johnnie To get the better treatment only when they thread needles in it. Otherwise, it is possible to have a 30-7 share, and there is also a bottom. Now, Boss Shao is looking at Wang Tianlin and others, and the bottom of the bottom is exempted from the bottom of the bag for his own people. This is already a big favor.

Lin Wei has not much money now, so he can only accept the matter of theaters with a pinch of his nose. The production of "Brothers in Desperate" can only be placed in the warehouse for the time being. Lin Wei, Wang Jing and Liu Bingjin discussed it and borrowed 600,000 yuan from Dingsheng Records to start filming "The Beautiful Girl" and "Seven Days of Fraud" on the Seven Days of Fraud".

Dingsheng Records is now very prosperous, it is a chicken laying golden eggs. Leslie Cheung's album "The Wind Continues to Blow" has sold more than 80,000 copies in Xiangjiang and 150,000 copies in other regions. Leslie Cheung finally shines his glory in the music industry, making Li's TV station regret it and regrets that he shouldn't have sold Leslie Cheung to Dingsheng Company like this.

With funds, "The Beautiful Girl" and "Saying the Seven Days of Love" have started filming. Johnnie To's director fee of 300,000 yuan was first owed, and the starring performance fee was also first owed. The heroine of "The Beautiful Girl" is Wen Bixia. In the original "The Beautiful Girl", Wen Bixia only played a supporting role in it. The male lead is Andy Lau, and the heroine of "Saying the Seven Days of Love" is Chung Chuhong and Leslie Cheung. Lin Wei did not participate in the shooting of these two movies, but developed CD recorders with electronic engineers at Dingsheng Electrical Appliance Factory.

The patent for CD technology has been applied for, but only Lin Wei knows about this circuit diagram. Lin Wei naturally has to participate in the production and development of CDs. There are not many people involved, and Lin Wei has only eight people. After a while, the matter came to an end, but it was already New Year's Day in 1982.

On the way home, Lin Wei not only bought gifts for Wu Haifeng, Wu Haiyan and Wen Bixia at home, but also for Zhou Huimin. He was walking in a taxi and suddenly remembered that Li Zhi came. He was so busy that he had forgotten about her affairs. I don’t know if she had ever found him later. After thinking about it, Lin Wei decided to go to her house to take a look.

Lin Wei first went home, gave the gift to the three people in the family, and then came to Zhou Huimin's house with the gift.
