The oldest hotel in Hong Kong, and one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and the world, The Peninsula Hotel at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, offers a close view of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline.
Its English afternoon tea was once a favorite of writer Eileen Chang, and then when Eileen Chang's love in the city was made into a movie, the great director Anhua Hui gave it most of the scenes: starting with the hero and heroine embracing and dancing, "there is the best dance floor in Hong Kong". to their love, "Can you see the moonlight in your room?" and then to the relationship, "I always want to see the moonlight in your room". Eileen Chang let The Peninsula witness all the emotional entanglements of lovers in troubled times.
Wireless boss Shao Yifu sits almost every day with his favorite Rollslath to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea.
Speaking of afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, Shao Daheng likes beautiful women quite a lot, he especially likes the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful women, he basically has to participate in the finals of every session of Miss Hong Kong, and he also has to participate in the annual wireless Taiwan celebration, and then at this time there are always a lot of all kinds of famous and unfamous beauties around him, and take pictures.
Then, Shao Daheng can be said to have several confidantes in his life, except for the sixth sister-in-law Fang Yihua, the others are not famous, that's right, Shao Daheng's confidante is not a well-known actress or a big star.
Maybe Chen Songlin is one, Shao Yifu once handpicked Chen Songlin to star in "The Legend of Shushan: The Legend of the Immortals", which made her a smash hit. And Chen Songlin is often photographed accompanying the sixth uncle,
"At that time, he often invited me and my sister to his villa as guests, eat and watch movies, and Cao Zhong was with him. We'll watch some of the old Shaw Brothers movies, which are not outdated at all, at least a decade ahead of their generation. ”
Run Run Shaw also took great care of her life, "He would take us to delicious places and fax us the menu, and we also missed the days in Clear Water Bay very much, Mr. Shao's home, Shaw Brothers Film Studio and TVB TV City were all on that hill, when we were all part-time students, Mr. Shao took special care of us." In short, he is a very advanced person, and when he is there, he will feel that there is hope in his heart. Chen Songlin revealed that Shao Yifu talked a lot in front of her. On the occasion of Shao Yifu's 100th birthday, Chen Songlin also wrote a special column to recall the past of the two, revealing between the lines that the two had a good friendship.
Chen Songlin said that Cao Zhong is another confidante of Shao Yifu, these confidantes are different from confidantes like Fang Yihua, Shao Tycoon is so old, he can't do anything, he just likes beautiful women.
Then another confidante Shao Tycoon likes is called Zhang Yushan, how much he likes this Zhang Yushan Shao Tycoon, I like it until he was hospitalized because of pneumonia, and he didn't go home to rest immediately after he recovered and was discharged, but took Zhang Yushan to drink afternoon tea and chat at the Peninsula Hotel for two consecutive days.
Cheng Long became popular after acting in "Drunken Fist", the fire was a mess, the swelling was not good, the young man, he hadn't read much, and he couldn't control himself after suddenly becoming famous for a while.
At that time, not only Jiahe was Lalun Chenglong, but Shaw Brothers was also wooing, because seeing that another kung fu superstar was born, no one was willing to let such a talent fall into the hands of others.
At that time, it happened that Shao Yifu wanted to meet Jackie Chan to discuss the conditions, yes, this is related to Shao Yifu.
Cheng Long used to wear martial arts clothes before he became famous in drunken boxing, and the gatekeepers who passed by the Peninsula Hotel asked him to go away a little, because he was nameless, had no money, and was untidy, and the gatekeepers looked down on him.
As a result, he became drunk and angry, and even big guys like Jiahe Zou Wenhuai and Shaw Shaw had to win him over, which made Cheng Long very inflated and felt that he was invincible.
It just so happened that Shao Yifu was going to meet him to discuss the conditions, and he also knew that Shao Yifu liked to go to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea, so Cheng Long found the Peninsula Hotel by himself.
He took more than a dozen people in the "family class", there was no family class at that time, and then those people followed the family class he established, anyway, he went in with the people of the martial arts in shorts, and the hotel stipulated that shorts were not allowed to enter.
But he swaggered in, and pulled up a chair and sat down without reservation. The waiter came over and said that the hotel did not allow people to wear shorts, Cheng Long sat there and said so what, I sat down.
The waiter said let's take a pair of pants for you to wear, Cheng Long said okay, and then after the pants were brought, Cheng Long lifted them in front of everyone, and continued to sit there and wait for Shao Yifu without pulling the zipper or tying it.
On the first day, he got a salary of 3,000, and the second day it was 4.8 million, Jiahe gave the money so happily, he didn't hesitate at all, he just used the money to smash Cheng Long and got carried away, just like the nouveau riche, he didn't even pay attention to Shao Yifu, he felt that Shao Yifu was asking him to negotiate conditions, which was begging him, so Cheng Long didn't wear his pants well, and he didn't even pull the zipper of his pants, so he waited to see Shao Yifu.
The results can be imagined.
Although Shao Yifu gave up poaching Cheng Long, Cheng Long didn't care, because Zi Jiahe had received enough attention, so he didn't care what Shao Yifu thought of himself, not only did he break with Shao Yifu because of the pants that day, but Cheng Long also went to the Peninsula Hotel again on the second day, he wore a trouser and a vest, and went again!
At that time, Cheng Long was very inflated, but fortunately, he quickly recognized himself and acted steadfastly, which led to the eternal light shining and the eternal Cheng Long.
Shaw Yifu has seen many celebrities at the Peninsula Hotel, not only Cheng Long, but also the great director of Shaw Brothers Zhang Che, Zhang Che often drinks afternoon tea with Shaw Yifu at the Peninsula Hotel, and even Zou Wenhuai wanted to run away and stand on his own, it was Zhang Che's opinion that Shaw Yifu asked in the middle of drinking afternoon tea, and then with Zhang Che's release, there is now Zou Tycoon of Golden Harvest.
Because Shao Yifu likes to drink afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, and also leads the trend of drinking afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, even Zhong Chuhong, Ye Qianwen, Lin Qingxia also like to drink afternoon tea here when they are fine, and there are also people like Leslie Cheung, Zhang Manyu or something.
Qiao Feng took Li Zhi to the best hotel in Hong Kong and the best in the world, and then went straight to the restaurant.
The place had already been booked, and as soon as the two of them sat down, the melodious sound of the violin sounded.
