Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

Chapter 48 A Half-Understood Understanding

"Ah Mei, you're a really good person. I was blinded by greed before, and I even thought about going against you." Yuen Biao was also a straightforward person. After hearing Qin Weiming's words, he immediately felt guilty. He had wronged Qin Weiming before, but Qin Weiming just brushed it off with a single sentence and even advised him not to take these things to heart.

Qin Weiming smiled without saying a word. He really didn't take these things to heart because it was Yuen Biao who did it. If it were anyone else, even Cheng Long, he would have written it down in his notebook.

However, judging from Yuen Biao's reputation in his previous life, this man is a truly honest person, so there's no need to argue with him. He's probably being used as a pawn without even realizing it.

If we're really going to settle accounts, Yuen Biao is only a minor part of it. Those who were truly spreading rumors and slandering Qin Weiming behind his back were definitely other people.

It's pointless to compete with Yuen Biao; it's better to make an ally. Once the production team is formed, he can get help from an ally, which is much better than going it alone.

In comparison, Jackie Chan is not so easy to get along with. Although it is easy to max out his favorability in the early stages, that's because Jackie Chan is a sociable person. If you have a few meals together and visit each other frequently, it is easy to become friends.

However, becoming better friends requires fate. Now, with Qin Weiming's professional skills, Cheng Long has gained inspiration, at least making him feel that Qin Weiming is a person worth befriending. He no longer keeps his distance as before, but instead takes the initiative to invite Yuen Biao to have dinner with Qin Weiming.

Qin Weiming naturally wouldn't refuse the invitation. He usually joined Cheng Long for meals, as he was the most famous among them.

At other times, Qin Weiming naturally went to class as usual. However, after two days, he was also a little overwhelmed by the busy schedule and began to consider canceling some of Fang Yanmei's courses. Otherwise, he felt dizzy and exhausted after a day of classes.

"Actually, we can postpone the language classes. As for English, there's no rush," Qin Weiming thought to himself. "Acting classes, however, still need to be continued. We'll be joining the film crew soon, and even action scenes require some on-screen presence. But the main thing is that I need to attend. I believe in Fang Yanmei's potential; she should be able to learn this much more effectively."

Qin Weiming only had a superficial understanding of acting during class. His teacher was somewhat puzzled when instructing him, feeling that Fang Yanmei was clearly very talented, so how did she suddenly become like a complete novice?

Qin Weiming simply laughed it off, saying he had a cold and wasn't feeling well, and the teacher didn't think much of it.

After all, no one would expect that there are two souls inside one body.

At this moment, Qin Weiming sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected that he would spend more than half of his time in Hong Kong attending classes, which was even more tiring than when he was in Taiwan.

"No, I need to ask for leave." Qin Weiming decided that he should ask for leave to go out and have fun. He was getting bored after two days of acting class.

If he stayed like this, Qin Weiming felt he was going to go crazy from studying. He suddenly felt sorry for Fang Yanmei. He had arranged such a intensive course for her before, no wonder Fang Yanmei called him directly to express her breakdown. He had forgotten whether he had comforted Fang Yanmei properly at that time.

Because he was busy catching up on his homework, he later realized that Fang Yanmei would come anyway, so he abandoned his homework.

"So, does that mean Sister Fang will have to help me with my homework?" Qin Weiming suddenly realized he was being unreasonable.

He hadn't been attending classes properly since coming to Hong Kong and was even planning to ask for leave, while Fang Yanmei might have to do his homework for him after going to Taiwan. He really hadn't expected this situation.

"Should I ask for leave? No, I still have to ask for leave, otherwise I won't have time to do anything else in Hong Kong, I'll just be studying there." Qin Weiming still went to ask his teacher for leave. He planned to go to other places in Hong Kong. He had been here for a week, and he had spent the whole time taking acting classes and other courses. It was as if he had been here for a week of make-up classes and hadn't done anything.

As for the time spent communicating with Jackie Chan and his team, Qin Weiming showed sufficient sincerity. At least he gradually shared some action designs from his memory, which greatly facilitated Jackie Chan's thinking on designing action scenes.

Every action design made Jackie Chan feel that Qin Weiming understood him. Gradually, both Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao praised Qin Weiming highly, even feeling that he should also be extremely talented in action. Jackie Chan even guaranteed that he would make Qin Weiming the female lead in the next movie.

"Goodbye, Brother Long. I know my own limitations. I'd be lucky to get a supporting role. If it weren't for you, Brother Long, I'd probably be playing a corpse as an extra right now." Qin Weiming earnestly rejected Cheng Long's offer. He knew his own worth and that to become a lead in a movie, one usually needed either a powerful background and company support, or to bring their own investment to the project.

As Jackie Chan suggested, unless Jackie Chan himself has a great deal of say in the film.

If it were Jackie Chan during his future superstar years, it might be possible, but right now, Jackie Chan has only just become famous for starring in one movie, and then the production immediately flopped. His current status is far from secure, so what guarantees that he will become the leading lady in the next movie?

Therefore, Qin Weiming was quite firm in his refusal. The highlight of Jackie Chan's movies is Jackie Chan himself. Not only would playing the female lead involve a lot of hardship, but it would also be extremely dangerous. He has some action background, which would be better, but if it were Fang Yanmei, Qin Weiming still wanted to find another way out for her.

If she were to become an action star, she would be riddled with injuries before she even gets old. Fang Yanmei clearly has the potential to be an actress, so she shouldn't have chosen this path.

"Speaking of which, Fang Jie seems to have started her career as a singer, but that competition probably hasn't even started yet." Qin Weiming thought of this and felt a little emotional, as he still remembered this matter.

He just transmigrated a bit too early. Even though half a month has passed, there's still no sign of the competition, let alone any chance for Fang Yanmei to debut on this path.

"I still have to go to record companies to promote my songs myself." Qin Weiming thought to himself. For the next three nights, he would go back home and start writing songs at his desk. However, he could only remember a limited number of songs. Most of them were popular songs that could only be heard in later generations. He was not a music enthusiast and did not remember Fang Yanmei's "Sunset Song" at all.
