On the fifth day of September 1984, Xu Ziming took an international flight to Tokyo, Japan, stopping for less than a quarter of an hour, and then flew directly to Hong Kong, arriving at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport at nearly 2 p.m.

Years of study at Duke University have finally come to an end, and in the past few years of studying in the United States, Xu Ziming only feels that time is as fast as a shuttle.

When he was first reborn in this world, Xu Ziming did not feel as much as he did now, compared to the immaturity he once had, he was much more stable at this moment.

Coming out of the airport, he saw his second and third uncles at a glance in the airport hall, as well as his cheap cousin Xu Jinheng.

The familiar faces that greeted Xu Ziming's heart warmed inexplicably, compared to today, what he had gained from studying in the United States before was more loneliness.

Xu Ziming came back very low-key this time, and did not notify his former friends in the entertainment industry, but only contacted his relatives alone.

"Brother Ming. ”

"Brother Heng. The two had a close and firm hug in front of their elders, and the relationship between the cousins was harmonious, which made Xu Shifen and Xu Shixun feel very gratified.

"Second uncle, third uncle", Xu Ziming is rarely happy.

Xu Shifen's body was not as good as before, and after a few greetings, a group of people rushed to the parking place outside the hall.

After he asked the entourage to help Xu Ziming carry his things, Xu Shifen's wrinkled face was covered with a kind smile, dusted off the dust on Xu Ziming's clothes with his hands, and asked for warmth: "Sister-in-law's unfulfilled wish has now been achieved, and those of us who are elders are also happy for you." By the way, you're okay in the United States. ”

Xu Shifen suddenly opened his mouth to ask this question, Xu Ziming was stunned, and quickly came to his senses. After all, he has stayed in the United States for two years, and he has not set foot in Hong Kong with half a foot, and the contact between them is only an international call, so he can't see the sound and appearance of anything.

Xu Shi, who is nearly sixty years old, usually has very few words with Xu Shixun, and he becomes extremely nagging for a while. Suddenly, he said so much to Xu Ziming, and Xu Shixun on the side couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Xu Ziming felt an inexplicable depression in his heart, and said embarrassedly: "Interesting but not interesting, compared to life in Hong Kong, it must be boring." But if you think about it carefully, you can understand a lot of truths, Hong Kong is too small in space, and I know many excellent and legendary people there. ”

"Okay. Xu Shifen laughed heartily.

The family chatted and walked, and when they arrived at the car, Xu Ziming and Xu Shifen got into a car, and Xu Jinheng and Xu Shixun took another car.

After Xu Shifen asked the driver to start the car, he asked Xu Ziming again: "In the past two years of your absence, Hong Kong has developed rapidly, and your favorite entertainment industry is also changing. Why are you still interested in getting involved in the entertainment industry when you come back now?" Xu Shifen squeezed out a smile at him, happy in his heart.

Xu Ziming habitually brushed his nose and nodded undeniably, not knowing how to respond to this sentence. Time can indeed calm one's mind, and Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties was a vibrant harbor, and the vitality of each place was unlimited.

The two of them were in the car, one old and one young, and the atmosphere should have been more festive, but Xu Ziming showed a blandness and silence. It was difficult for Xu Shifen to find a topic to cut into all of a sudden.

Xu Shifen specially took a car to pick up, and Xu Ziming naturally couldn't disobey everyone's original intention of getting together, so he went to Xu Shifen's home with everyone, and forgot to inform Fu Bo halfway.

The family ate together and chatted about family life, and Xu Ziming also talked about his college life at the dinner table.

After dinner, Xu Ziming sat on the sofa, watching TV to pass the time, after watching for less than half an hour, he habitually lifted his sleeves, stared at his watch, felt that it was still early, and thought that he would go back later. As for the things that were negotiated with Zhang Zhongqian, he needs to temporarily take over the industry that he had previously handed over to others, and after reorganizing, he can directly cooperate.

I thought about a lot of content in my mind, Xu Ziming just drank a glass of warm water, and I caught a glimpse of Xu Shifen coming slowly, and saw that the other party put an invitation on the opposite table, Xu Shifen said: "Mr. He, the gambling king of Macau, wants to cooperate with our Xu family's sailing business, you have just come from the United States, and you have not had the opportunity to try it yet." You don't know much about the things in the company, you should use this invitation as a visit to the gambling king, and discuss cooperation with him, and we will have a lot of cooperation with him in the future. ”

Xu Shifen spoke very seriously, and Xu Ziming nodded: "When." ”

Xu Shi didn't hesitate at all, his hoarse voice became older and older, and he coughed dryly: "Ho Hung Sun is now participating in the viewing group composed of celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong to watch the signing ceremony in the capital. It's still on the mainland. When to go pick your own time. ”

"Good. Xu Ziming picked up the invitation card and carefully put it in the bag.

As soon as Xu Shifen walked on the front foot, Xu Jinheng, his cousin, staggered over again.

Xu Jinheng was holding a newspaper of "Sing Tao Daily" in his hand, and sat down next to Xu Ziming.

As soon as Xu Ziming changed his TV channel, he heard the noise of the newspaper in his hand, and then Xu Jinheng sighed again, "The film market is so profitable, Xinyi City, Golden Harvest A few movies that cost less than 10 million can get such a high income, "The Secret Order of the Empress of the Best Partner", box office 29.286 million, "Fast Food Truck", box office 21.465 million. ”

Xu Ziming heard Xu Jinheng reading the contents of the newspaper, while drinking water and watching TV, he became interested, and immediately asked: "How are the works of Mingjia Film Company?" ”

Xu Jinheng didn't raise his head, stretched his waist lazily, yawned for a while, and improvized, "Only one "Frog Prince" got a box office of about 18 million. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ziming choked on a mouthful of water at that time, he knew the power of Jiahe and Xinyicheng, but he didn't know that Wang Jin was so defeated. Xu Ziming has been overtaken by himself by plagiarizing the works of later generations, and the box office miracle created by "God of Gamblers" and "The True Color of Heroes" has been unexpectedly broken.

Xu Jinheng saw that the other party choked coldly, put down the newspaper, glanced at Xu Ziming, and saw that his face was a little abnormal, and suddenly remembered that Xu Ziming was also a film company before, Mingjia Film Company, isn't it his own question?

Xu Jinheng sighed secretly in his heart, and when he mentioned the movie, he remembered the figure of a fat man with a strange figure but very arrogant, and he felt a little distressed for a while.

Xu Jinheng thought about it for a while and asked, "Brother Ming, what do you think of Wang Jin?"

"Wang Jin?" Xu Ziming was curious why Xu Jinheng suddenly asked this question.

Xu Ziming asked: "Are you also interested in the entertainment industry, or do you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Xu Jinheng shook his head and nodded, and said: "This fat man, who used to ride your majesty, fox and fake tiger, looked arrogant in front of me, and didn't take others in his eyes at all. ”

Xu Ziming was confused when he heard this, his face was confused, and he said suspiciously: "Wang Jin and I know each other to some extent, I know what kind of person he is." ”

How could Xu Ziming not know, he is a traverser, although he remembers many things in the later life, but Wang Jin has never been such a person.

The only thing is that this fat man is a person, but as long as he doesn't touch the rules he set at the beginning of the company and breaks his bottom line.

Xu Jinheng simply told the story of that day, he just wanted Zhang Manyu to make a movie, but was obstructed by Wang Jin, even after he revealed his identity, he refused.

Xu Jinheng told the general story, but it inevitably added oil and vinegar, making something out of nothing, Xu Ziming was surprised to hear it, and said in his heart: "This Wang Fat Man reported my address in the United States indiscriminately and made the moth of "Duke Mingqing", and now he is so capable.

Xu Ziming soothed: "Brother Heng, I will handle Wang Jin's matter, if you are interested in the entertainment industry, you might as well say it directly." ”

Xu Ziming's handling is just a promise, he must also know some things, and he himself must figure it out.

Xu Jinheng shook his head and smiled: "The entertainment industry is not very interested, but I am just a little impulsive to the stars and beauties in the entertainment industry." ”

His face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Zhang Manyu of Sister Hong Kong last year, I heard that this person is very soft and sweet, and her acting skills are also good, with Brother Ming's status in the entertainment industry, I think it is not difficult to know her." ”

After listening, Xu Ziming felt very confused, Xu Jinheng was obviously interested in Zhang Manyu, he had studied in the United States in the past two years, and he knew very little about Hong Kong.

In the two years that Xu Ziming was absent, although there were many internal contradictions in Xinyicheng, it dominated the film market.

And the fame of Golden Harvest's Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long has completely overshadowed Zhou Yanfa, Xu Ziming's best friend and others.

And Xu Ziming didn't know that after he left Hong Kong, the script of "Mr. Zombie" that was returned at the beginning had created Lin Zhengying's status as the "first brother" of fantasy films.

The only pity is that the cooperation with Shaw Brothers through Mingjia Film Company backfired and did not achieve any effect.

Xu Ziming asked, Xu Jinheng replied, the two talked a lot to each other back and forth, Xu Ziming finally consciously looked at the watch in his hand again, got up and said: "Brother Heng, it's not early, I need to go first, you will speak for my second uncle and third uncle when you arrive." ”

Xu Ziming came back from the United States today, stayed at his second uncle's house all afternoon, did not go back to see Fu Bo, and he was inevitably a little reluctant to go, he just got up and was about to go out, Xu Jinheng picked up the coat from the hanger, hurriedly chased after him, handed the coat to Xu Ziming, and said at the same time: "Brother Ming, your coat." I haven't been to Brother Ming's house for a long time to play, and today I am rarely interested, so I will drive you back by the way. ”

Xu Ziming paused, nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”
