102 [League of Nations Five Phoenix] asks for a monthly ticket
Since the spring break and her cousin Zhang Wanjun is here, Huo Tingting can be said to be extremely comfortable, every morning after getting up and washing, she goes to the new house to find her cousin, and then pulls her cousin to run to the city, in the name of accompanying her cousin to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment, in fact, she just wants to go out to play.
"Cousin went to Taiwan? What is he doing in Taiwan?" Zhang Wanjun looked at Huo Tingting who was lying on her bed, her watery eyes widened, and her face was full of doubts: "Isn't the publishing house very busy recently? I see that my father runs out every morning, saying that the publishing house is going to start printing recently. ”
"It seems that there is a book lover of Ah Ge in Taiwan, hoping that he can go to New Taipei City to hold a book signing, and he set off with his suitcase very early in the morning, and now I guess he has arrived in Taiwan. Huo Tingting was a little lazy in bed, originally wanted to take her cousin to Mong Kok today to shop for a few new winter clothes, but when she came over in the morning, it was cold outside, and the cold gradually hit, so that she didn't have the idea of going out to play.
"Cousin Yaowen is so powerful, there are actually Taiwanese book fans who invite him to hold a book signing!" Zhang Wanjun's face was full of joy, and when she thought that her cousin was so powerful, her heart was very happy.
Huo Tingting pointed at herself proudly and said, "Cousin, I have part of the credit for this, I recommended my brother to write the romance at the beginning." ”
Seeing that she was proud of this, Zhang Wanjun smiled: "Yes, Tingting is the best, if it weren't for Tingting, Cousin Yaowen would definitely not have thought of writing romance." Didn't you say you were going shopping in Mong Kok today? Why can't you get up in bed?"
Huo Tingting waved her hand and said lazily: "It's so cold outside, let's not go! Let's lie on the bed at home and rest for a while." ”
Zhang Wanting glanced at the lazy Huo Tingting, sighed helplessly, and then chuckled, since she came to Hong Kong with her parents and grandfather, she felt that her life was quite leisurely, without a lot of troubles, just thinking about it, she noticed that Huo Tingting on the bed was about to fall asleep in a daze, smiled and turned around and walked out to close the door, walked straight to the dining table in the living room, picked up the "Sweet Honey" that had not been read before and continued to read,
Looking at it, Zhang Wanting suddenly stopped, slightly pursed her upper teeth and bit her lip, the two beautiful eyebrows gradually wrinkled with a worried look, turned around and peeked at the bedroom door was still closed, then boldly walked to the cabinet in the living room, picked up a photo on the cabinet that was sandwiched in a photo frame, sat back in the previous position and silently looked at this family photo taken by Huo Yaowen and her family when he was in the United States.
......
At about ten o'clock in the morning, at Songshan Airport in New Taipei City, Huo Yaowen walked out of the exit with his suitcase and Zhu Wenqing, and noticed a sign with the word Fusheng written on it in the crowd of people who picked up the airport.
The female clerk holding a huge pick-up card suddenly noticed two men walking in front of her, one of whom was a little familiar, and when the other party approached to see his appearance, she confirmed her identity and said in Cantonese: "Hello Mr. Fusheng, my name is Wen Meiqi and I am an employee of Aoki Publishing House, and my job is to be responsible for all the activities and accommodation arrangements of Mr. Fusheng for three days in Taiwan. ”
Hearing the pen name Fusheng, Huo Yaowen was still a little unaccustomed to it, and said with a smile: "Hello Miss Wen, just call me Huo Yaowen." ”
"Then I'll call you Mr. Huo. Wen Meiqi put away the sign in her hand, and when she was about to help the other party get the suitcase, she was politely rejected by Huo Yaowen with a smile, she didn't care, just turned sideways and made a gesture of please: "The hotel where Mr. Huo stayed has been arranged, and in the evening, our editor-in-chief specially booked a box in the New Taipei Hotel to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Mr. Huo." ”
Got up early in the morning and took another two-hour flight, Huo Yaowen was also a little sleepy, and blinked his slightly squinted eyes: "Okay, I'm sorry Miss Wen." ”
"It should. Looking at his shallow eyes, Wen Meiqi's heart was a little flustered, and she quickly turned around and said, "Mr. Huo, please, the vehicle is already waiting outside the airport." ”
"Okay. Huo Yaowen nodded and replied, glancing at Manager Zhu next to him and motioning for him to follow.
The three of them walked out of the gate of the airport, there was a Yulon car that had been waiting for a long time on the parking lane outside, Wen Meiqi enthusiastically walked to the back seat position to help open the door, and after greeting Huo Yaowen and the two to get into the car, she returned to the co-pilot's position.
When she went all the way to the New Taipei Hotel, Wen Meiqi temporarily acted as a tour guide to introduce some places to visit in New Taipei City.
As the most prosperous New Taipei City in Wanwan, the population here is the largest in Taiwan and it is also the provincial capital, close to the Danshui River and its tributary Xindianxi in the west, near Nangang in the east, hilly area south of Muzha in the south, and the southeast foot of Datun Mountain in the north.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the main entrance of the New Peking University Hotel, and when the driver parked the car, Huo Yaowen opened the door and got out of the car, and walked in behind Wen Meiqi with his suitcase.
Because the people from Aoki Publishing House didn't know how many people Huo Yaowen came, they only booked a room, and when they entered the hotel, Wen Meiqi opened another room for Manager Zhu.
Wen Meiqi handed the key to the room for the two of them to Huo Yaowen and Manager Zhu: "Mr. Huo, I live in 701 on the seventh floor, you can call me from the phone in the guest room if you have anything, there is still a long time before the evening, Mr. Huo should be a little tired from getting up early to take the plane, go upstairs early to rest, and I will ask the waiter to inform you to go downstairs for lunch at noon." ”
"Okay, thanks. Huo Yaowen took the key and handed it to Manager Zhu behind him.
...
Huo Yaowen stood by the window, looking at the cityscape of New Taipei City at this time, generally speaking, it is roughly the same as Hong Kong, there are high-rise buildings but not many, and the view is basically low-rise flat buildings.
Manager Zhu took two cups of tea and put them on the table next to him: "President, do you think I should communicate with the people of Aoki Publishing House about cooperation first, or will we discuss with them together after you are done?"
"Aoki's people helped me arrange two signing sessions the day after tomorrow, one in New Taipei City and the other in Taichung, I may not have so much time to take care of cooperation matters, you can just be responsible for it alone, and the specific contract sharing and process are the same as other publishing houses in Hong Kong. ”
"I know the president. ”
At this time, Huo Yaowen noticed that a lot of people suddenly gathered downstairs, and he could vaguely see that many people were holding a camera in their hands to take pictures of a few fashionably dressed girls.
Manager Zhu also saw and heard the movement downstairs, poked his head out and looked at the crowd downstairs, and suddenly said in surprise: "Zhen Zhen, Jiang Qing and Wang Ling!"
The name "Zhen Zhen?" is not unfamiliar to Huo Yaowen, and in later generations, he has also watched one or two old Taiwanese movies, including several movies made by Zhen Zhen.
Zhu Wenqing nodded, he likes to watch movies in his spare time on weekdays, and he knows many movie stars: "These three are the most popular actresses in Taiwan at present, and Niu Fangyu of the Dapeng Peking Opera Troupe, and Li Denghui of Fuzhou Opera Kunjiao were called the five phoenixes of the League of Nations by fans the year before last, and like the seven princesses who swore in Hong Kong, they are very popular with Taiwanese fans, especially the three of them last year's "Several Degrees of Sunset Red" two-part series was a big hit in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Nanyang, and Jiang Qing won the Best Actress at last year's Golden Horse Awards. ”
Since the three most outstanding actresses under the Great Wall Film Company in the 50s, they have been honored by fans and newspapers as the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall", the eldest princess Xia Mengyan with different personalities and appearances is like a peach and plum, the second princess Shi Huiya is like Zhilan, and the third princess Chen Sisi is as beautiful as a rose.
The people of the Great Wall Film Company saw the business opportunities, so they instructed the three of them, but if one of them made a movie, the other two had to stand on the platform to help, which was an opportunity for the three princesses to face the public together.
In 57, Nanyang University in Singapore held a charity performance, inviting well-known movie stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. On the same day, the three princesses of the charity performance came to the stage to sing a song together, and the local fans waved their flags and shouted: Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose.
Even well-known wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Nanyang have generously donated money to try to arouse the love of the three princesses, raising a total of more than 1.3 million yuan at that time, and the amount raised in the name of the three princesses is as much as more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. This charity performance was a sensation in Southeast Asia, and many newspapers carried the headline "Princesses and the People Have Fun".
After the combination of three princesses composed of three actresses caused a sensation in most of Southeast Asia, the people in the film company seem to see the business opportunity of the movie star group.
So in the 60s, in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles, a very interesting phenomenon suddenly appeared, that is, the marriage between movie stars, in addition to the seven princesses composed of the well-known seven jade actresses, there are also ten famous directors who have become the "top ten directors", nine second-gang Hua Dan formed the "Nine Sisters", and eight leading Hua Dan also became "Eight Peonies".
These are just some well-known movie star directors formed by the sworn group, and some unknown such as Nanyang Pictures' "Eleven Axes", Singapore Film Company's "Twelve Golden Hairpins", and Shaw Brothers Film Company's "Thirteen Oceans", there are too many such combinations.
Even the seven popular students in the Hong Kong film industry, Xie Xian, Hu Feng, Lu Qi, Zeng Jiang and others, saw the swearing frenzy surging, and saw the seven popular flowers worshipping as the "Seven Princesses", so they wanted to join in the excitement and organize the worship as the "Seven Horses".
The actresses who can make up the Seven Princesses are all young girls, if they are allowed to form the "Seven Horses", it feels like they have taken advantage of them, so under the strong opposition of the "Seven Princesses", the idea of "Seven Princesses" cannot be solved, which has also become a well-known hot topic in the film industry the year before last.
The actresses, male stars, and directors in these film circles worship each other, in fact, it is the same as the nature of the men's and women's groups in later generations, everyone has their own aesthetics and their own favorite movie stars, and it is easy to absorb fans from other groups after the combination of different personalities and different types of actresses, so that it has an effect, and it is natural to attract more movie stars to worship as righteous brothers and sisters to expand their fame.
