Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

However, Qin Weiming replied without hesitation, "I choose the film crew. No matter what, I want to learn more while I'm young. It doesn't matter if the pay is low; I can find some part-time jobs."

"Okay, I'll call you once the crew is all set up." Cheng Long breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time he had ever interacted with a woman on such an equal footing. However, when he was with Qin Weiming, he did feel like he was talking to his brother.

"Yuen Biao, when you have time, take some men to Lai Yuen and check if Ah Mei's background is fabricated. If there's any trouble, we can take precautions." Cheng Long said to Yuen Biao in a low voice after leaving the house, as he also had some concerns.

After all, I've only known Qin Weiming for less than a day. If Qin Weiming is a liar full of lies, the consequences of bringing him into the film crew would be unimaginable.

Regardless, Jackie Chan is a very dedicated person to his work, and he cannot tolerate too much negligence on his film sets.

Yuen Biao accepted the order and left. He had his own concerns, but he knew this was a step he had to take.

On the other side, Qin Weiming in the room copied down his experiences over the past few days in detail into a notebook, and then left a small note by the bedside, reminding Fang Yanmei that she could read it if she returned.

"If we hadn't switched bodies, then so be it. But if we could switch, it would be a new path I've found for Fang Yanmei," Qin Weiming thought to himself. Actually, he knew Fang Yanmei better than her singing voice, mostly from her appearances in various films and television shows.

It's not Qin Weiming's fault. He really doesn't listen to songs from this era. Young people are generally like this; they only like things that were popular when they were young, and then they tend to like the celebrities they liked during that period for the rest of their lives.

In the afternoon, Cheng Long met Yuen Biao, who had taken a taxi back.

"Yuen Biao, how's it going?" Cheng Long was still busy with his drawing. He wanted to quickly sketch out the ideas in his mind before going to discuss them with Qin Weiming.

Regardless of whether the other party's words were exaggerated or not, Jackie Chan recognized her talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have put such a girl into the crew despite the pressure.

"I'm telling you, Yuen Biao, Ah Mei really didn't lie. She really did become famous singing in Lai Yuen, and she dropped out of school at the age of four to support her family. Everyone there knows that." Yuen Biao said breathlessly as he sat down and drank a large cup of Jackie Chan's tea.

Cheng Long became interested: "Really? Ah Mei doesn't seem like she's had such a terrible experience at all. She seems so cheerful and generous, and she's not shy at all when she talks to us."

Yuen Biao drank some water and calmed down. He then chimed in, "Who says otherwise? I heard that Ah Mei had to earn money to support her whole family since she was a child. She has more stage experience than you or me. Tsk, you really can't tell. No wonder Uncle said you can't judge a book by its cover. I thought she came from a very good family."

Cheng Long shook his head: "She comes from a very good family. How could she be hanging out with us? She wasn't shy at all when she was interacting with us. She didn't treat us like men at all. You can tell that she must have been through a lot of hardship."

Yuen Biao sighed. He was a junior brother who had been pampered by everyone since childhood, but he could understand the hardships Fang Yanmei had gone through growing up. He couldn't say anything bad about Fang Yanmei now: "Anyway, I checked her background, and it's basically all true. Her name and appearance match. She ran away a few days ago, but the neighbors are helping to keep it from her. They say that her mother abused her at home since she was a child, and the neighbors couldn't stand it."

"No wonder Ah Mei never mentions her family and elderly mother to us. So that's how miserable she is. Forget it, we don't need to investigate any further. As long as we know Ah Mei wasn't lying to us, that's enough. We need to keep our investigations of her privately a secret from her. Don't let her hear about it, understand?" Cheng Long suddenly understood. He discussed it with Yuen Biao, and they both decided to act as if nothing had happened. They could take care of Fong Yim-mui more often when they had nothing else to do, just to let her get familiar with the film industry in advance.

"Hey, do you think Ah Mei is interested in becoming a star? She actually has pretty good looks. Although she's not the prettiest, she has a great presence." Yuen Biao went off-topic.

Cheng Long curled his lip: "With Ah Mei's talent, she could totally be a playwright, or sign with a company to make movies and write screenplays, why did she have to become a star?"

"Being a celebrity earns a lot," Yuen Biao said.

Cheng Long shook his head: "You have to stand out to earn more. But you're right, I think Anita Mui has a lot of star quality. But she said she wants to join the film crew. Let's just let her be for now. Anyway, with us here, we won't let her starve."

Yuen Biao nodded repeatedly. That was true. Although they had only just met Fang Yanmei, they had already developed a preliminary liking for this cheerful and straightforward girl. Although it was based on friendship, it did not prevent their relationship with Qin Weiming from gradually improving.

Qin Weiming's future fame is largely due to his relationship with Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan. Currently, he has mostly appeared in minor roles in Yuen Biao's stunt team, which has helped him become somewhat familiar to everyone.

On the other hand, Cheng Kui'an recently returned to Shaw Brothers and got a new job, so he didn't have time to come over so frequently, which was a relief for Qin Weiming.

These past two days, Qin Weiming has been trying different ways to make soup to treat himself, trying to gain more weight.

This was also because of Cheng Long and his team's request. After filming the scene once, they reminded Qin Weiming: "Ah Mei, you're a bit too thin now. You don't look good on camera. You should gain a little weight and have more flesh on your face."

"But aren't I part of the film crew?" Qin Weiming asked, confused.

Jackie Chan chuckled: "This script is short-staffed. When there's really no one else available, you'll have to step in. Don't you want a chance to become famous? Once you're famous, making money won't be difficult."

"Okay." Qin Weiming was quickly convinced by this reason. He felt that what Cheng Long said made a lot of sense. Who wouldn't want to make more money? It's just a matter of fattening up Fang Yanmei. He can do it.

So Qin Weiming has been eating four meals a day lately, and he's gotten to know Cheng Long and his gang. To save money, Qin Weiming always attends the dinners that Cheng Long and his gang invite him to, and it was through this opportunity that he got to know the Yuan family troupe.

At first, the others weren't familiar with Qin Weiming and didn't know what he was doing there. They even joked that he might be the girlfriend that Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao were pursuing. The two denied it for a while, which made Senior Sister Yuan Qiu very indignant: "Why are you bullying a young girl like this? If you don't like her, you don't like her. Why do you have to call her over to bully her?"
