Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes
Chapter 47 Apology
Hearing Yuen Biao's words, Jackie Chan was speechless: "Can this be rushed? If you're in a hurry, come and help us out."
So Yuen Biao was also persuaded to join Cheng Long's team to help with the drawing. An hour later, Yuen Biao was sweating profusely. All the actions he came up with were rejected by Cheng Long. He couldn't help but scratch his head: "When will we ever come up with something like this? You said you finally solved it. Was it really Ah Mei who came up with it?"
"She actually knows this?" Yuen Biao initially didn't believe it, but after racking his brains with Jackie Chan for an hour, he slowly began to believe that Qin Weiming was the one who came up with the action scene. Because after he and Jackie Chan sat together and racked their brains for so long, the things they came up with were like a pile of rubbish, none of them usable.
If it weren't for Cheng Long's words, Yuen Biao would have seriously doubted whether his results were really that far behind what Qin Weiming had proposed.
Even now, Jackie Chan has placed the action storyboard sketches drawn by Qin Weiming in front of Yuen Biao. After so many film shoots, Yuen Biao has also developed the ability to read sketches.
Then he stared blankly at the motion sketch in front of him: "Amei, you actually have such great abilities? How come you didn't hit me a few times back then, and just let her leave like that?"
"I never imagined the rumors you spread would get so nasty. If I had known then, I would have loved to punch you a few times." Cheng Long sighed. "Now we can only think about it here. If Ah Mei were here, this process could be shortened by at least half."
Upon realizing this, Yuen Biao was filled with regret; he never imagined there would be such a thing.
As Jackie Chan's junior apprentice, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan have a very close relationship. Yuen Biao is well aware of what this film means for Jackie Chan, who suffered a bloody defeat on the other side of the Pacific in the previous movie.
Even if the previous film was a success, after experiencing the failure and losses of one film, if Jackie Chan cannot continue the success of this film, he may be brought back to square one at any time.
This, of course, also included Yuen Biao's own future, so after he learned what Jackie Chan was worried about, he became anxious himself.
After thinking about it for a long time, the two decided to go and apologize to Qin Weiming, at least to get him back. Otherwise, it would take at least a few more months of work just for the two of them to design and think about the action, which would be too much of a delay.
"Where does Ah Mei live?" Yuen Biao was about to leave, but stopped when he thought of this.
Cheng Long was also dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances: "I don't know either."
"How do we usually meet with Ah Mei? It feels like we see her all the time, maybe thirty times a month," Yuen Biao said, lost in thought.
Cheng Long gasped as if he had a toothache: "Let's ask Amei out for dinner to apologize, otherwise we won't know where she lives, and we won't even have a place to look for her."
After discussing it for a while, the two called Qin Weiming to invite him out for dinner. This time, there were no problems, and Qin Weiming readily agreed. Just like usual, the three of them ate char siu rice at their usual spot.
"Yuen Biao, say something! Didn't you say you had something to say to Ah Mei?" Seeing the two of them rambling on and on, Cheng Long got impatient and quickly winked at Yuen Biao.
Yuen Biao cursed inwardly for Cheng Long betraying his brothers too quickly, but facing Qin Weiming's questioning gaze, he coughed and honestly apologized to Qin Weiming, saying that he had already given a good beating to those who were spreading rumors in the company.
"If anyone in the crew dares to say anything bad about you after this, Ah Mei, don't worry, I'll beat them so badly they'll be stuck in the hospital for a month." Yuen Biao patted his chest and promised, his apology was quite sincere.
Cheng Long also smiled and flattered Qin Weiming. Originally, his attitude towards Qin Weiming was just that of a friendly acquaintance. After all, Fang Yanmei was a woman, and although they often ate together, there was still a sense of distance between them.
It wasn't until Jackie Chan discovered that Qin Weiming also had the ability to design action scenes that he realized what he had always dreamed of. Moreover, Qin Weiming's sketches inspired Jackie Chan and even gave him a sense of destiny that he had always wanted to make this film.
This also made Cheng Long feel a rare sense of mutual respect for Qin Weiming: "Ah Mei, you should come back and help me. With you here, I think I can get the crew up and running within two months."
"No problem. You guys were making such a roundabout way today, I thought you were going to say something. I already agreed to help you with your work, Brother Long. If it weren't for those annoying rumors, we would have finished it already." Qin Weiming took a bite of the oily smoked goose and a sip of beer before speaking.
Cheng Long glanced at Qin Weiming with delight. This time, he truly appreciated Qin Weiming's straightforwardness. The fact that Qin Weiming showed no intention of getting entangled with Yuen Biao made Cheng Long and Yuen Biao breathe a sigh of relief.
Clearly, Qin Weiming didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he simply accepted Cheng Long's invitation.
The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became even more lively, and Jackie Chan even ordered an extra case of beer, which he and Yuen Biao drank heartily.
The shop owner cast curious glances at them from behind the partition: "How come these two can drink so much today?"
"I'm in a good mood, boss. Besides, this little bit of alcohol won't get you drunk at all," Cheng Long said with a grin.
Qin Weiming scratched his head, wondering what was wrong with the two of them; they seemed strange to him today.
However, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao insisted on taking Qin Weiming home, which made him laugh: "Look at Brother Chan, he can barely walk, yet he still wants to take me home. You two can go back and rest, don't worry about me."
"Really? Then be careful on your way back. I'll take Brother Long home first. Ah Mei, I really apologized to you for what happened last time. Don't take it to heart." Yuen Biao looked at Cheng Long's drunken state and realized he was really incapacitated. He could only escort Cheng Long home first. Before leaving, he apologized to Qin Weiming properly.
"It's alright. As long as everyone can do their jobs properly next time and not resort to these underhanded tactics, I'll be thankful. Besides, we're friends, we're not that petty. I said I forgive you, so this is over. Brother Biao, you don't need to take it to heart." Qin Weiming smiled. He knew that Yuan Biao was actually a fairly reliable person. His repeated apologies were because he genuinely felt sorry for him.
As for Qin Weiming, he didn't really care about these rumors, because given Fang Yanmei's experience, if she really wanted to become famous, the amount of gossip she would have to face would be hundreds of times greater.
