Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

"Bringing out 'A Thousand Songs' is a bit too much, isn't it?" Qin Weiming had a headache. He felt it was unrealistic to bring out a song of this caliber from the start.

After all, neither he nor Fang Yanmei had much of a network of connections in Hong Kong. If they were to send out classic songs of this caliber, it would be a different story. It would be better to choose some other songs, which would at least offer some assurance of safety.

Looking back, Fang Yanmei was no longer able to sing "Woman Flower" at that time, given her age; giving her that song was really pushing her too hard.

"Forget it, let's see how it goes." Qin Weiming sighed. He thought he should let Fang Yanmei try acting first, and if that didn't work out, he would let her try singing.

"While she's still young, even if she fails, she'll be almost eighteen, just in time for her debut singing competition." Qin Weiming hadn't thought about being the butterfly that stirs up a storm, but if he could give Fang Yanmei a chance to appear on the big screen early, he wouldn't miss it.

After Cheng Long and Yuen Biao parted ways, Cheng Long stayed alone in his room, lost in thought.

"I originally thought that Ah Mei was just lucky to write a script that suited my taste, and at most she was just a girl with some talent. I never expected that she would have such a deep understanding of action. Many times, I even felt that she understood me better than anyone else. How could such a thing exist in this world? Oh well, I don't know if bringing her to the film crew is a good thing or a bad thing."

Cheng Long was a bit conflicted. He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to put it aside for the time being. Anyway, he was very clear that having Qin Weiming with him would only bring him benefits and no harm at the moment.

As for those rumors, they meant nothing to Cheng Long. He'd never lacked female admirers and scandals, and besides, he knew very well that Qin Weiming wasn't interested in him.

Cheng Long had noticed this many times, only to find that Fang Yanmei, aside from always greeting him politely and always showing up for meals, didn't have much contact with him otherwise.

However, he was very cheerful when chatting with Cheng Long in private, making Cheng Long feel as if he were talking to one of his male buddies. His attitude was comfortable and unpretentious, which made Cheng Long very happy.

Although Fang Yanmei can be a bit aloof at times, this aligns with Cheng Long's impression of cultured and talented people who are sometimes difficult to deal with. Overall, Cheng Long considers Fang Yanmei a good friend.

Looking back, this situation made Cheng Long realize that girls like Fang Yanmei are rare.

Especially when Yuen Biao took the initiative to apologize today, both Yuen Biao and Cheng Long thought that Qin Weiming would seize this opportunity to ask them for some benefits, whether it was to get more screen time in the film crew or to make Yuen Biao bow his head in apology.

As a result, Qin Weiming simply apologized and that was it. They're all friends, why make such a fuss?

He immediately won over Yuen Biao, and also made Jackie Chan look at Qin Weiming with new respect.

To be honest, Cheng Long only considered Qin Weiming a decent friend. They got along well, and it was normal for them to eat together and become acquainted.

Jackie Chan has plenty of friends he eats with regularly, and he doesn't think anyone is special. After all, the more famous Jackie Chan is, the more superficially familiar friends he will have around him.

However, Qin Weiming's performance today was quite unusual for Cheng Long. No matter what, he didn't use this matter to ask for benefits from them, nor did he have the habit of laying the groundwork for himself. He simply glossed over the matter. Cheng Long greatly admired his straightforwardness.

"Maybe I could actually get her more screen time in the new movie, but I don't usually have much of a role for women in my movies." Cheng Long began to rack his brains. Since Qin Weiming was a decent person, he felt that he could become friends with him. However, he still needed to think carefully about how to repay him.

Yuen Biao is Jackie Chan's junior apprentice, and the two have an extraordinary relationship. Qin Weiming's casual treatment of Yuen Biao, showing no intention of seeking personal gain, not only impressed Yuen Biao but also made Jackie Chan think highly of him.

However, Qin Weiming did not take this matter seriously at the time.

Having experienced the online bullying and public opinion attacks of later generations, Qin Weiming found it difficult to deeply understand the impact of such things in reality.

Even though it might have some impact on Fang Yanmei, he is Qin Weiming, and he usually switches accounts. It's likely that Fang Yanmei will suffer. However, Qin Weiming firmly believes that it's not necessarily a bad thing for Fang Yanmei to experience these things sooner rather than later.

The challenges in this world are never escalating one by one. Often, you've barely left the beginner's village when someone asks you to kill the big boss, all under the guise of "training" you.

this is life.

Qin Weiming looked at the company in front of him and sighed.

When Qin Weiming went in for his interview, he was kicked out before he even had a chance to sing because he looked too ordinary.

"How did Sister Fang manage to make her way in the entertainment industry when she was young? She's amazing. I can't even get in the door now." If it weren't for getting some shady dealings with Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao, Qin Weiming probably wouldn't even be able to get past the threshold of the entertainment industry.

Fang Yanmei's appearance is indeed rather ordinary, but she has a good temperament, that's all she has left.

"Your appearance isn't great, but your songwriting skills are impressive. Would you be interested in working for our company?" Another company boss asked with interest after looking at the song demo Qin Weiming handed over.

However, the olive branch he extended was simply to have Qin Weiming work as a low-paid clerk, at a time when creators could only earn very limited salaries.

Qin Weiming smiled, packed his things, and turned to leave.

It was just another rejection, and although he was somewhat discouraged, Qin Weiming remained relatively calm.

He has already realized that an ordinary person like Fang Yanmei has not yet demonstrated the qualities required to be considered by any company.

"If no company can sign me, then I can only try to build up some fame through movies first." Qin Weiming took a breath and went back to the company, continuing to bury himself in helping Cheng Long gather ideas for the film crew. He worked overtime for four or five days in a row, completely oblivious to the world around him.

Fang Yanmei, on the other side, had no idea that Qin Weiming, that heartless man, had also begun to plan for her future.

She was staring blankly at the homework in front of her, thinking, "That bastard Qin Weiming, he dumped so much homework on me, and then he ran away."

Fang Yanmei was on the verge of tears. She never expected that Qin Weiming would be so shameless as to dump these assignments on her. She wanted to refuse, but Qin's mother always doted on her and cared about how well she was doing with her homework, making Fang Yanmei feel embarrassed to do nothing. So she had no choice but to grit her teeth and slowly catch up on the assignments Qin Weiming owed, cursing him in her heart as she wrote.
