In an old-fashioned residential building in Sanminli, West District, Sanchong District, New Taipei City.

Zhang Liren looked at his clothes in front of the mirror, and was very satisfied with today's dress and image, and couldn't help but turn back to Qingxia who was lying on the bed and asked, "Qingxia, how do you see my clothes?"

Hearing the voice, Qingxia opened her eyes in a daze, squinting slightly at Zhang Liren's dress at this time, a thick brown sweater was worn on her body, with a black thick skirt underneath, with her capable short and medium hair, it was indeed very beautiful and charming.

Zhang Liren couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Is it good-looking? I am going to wear this set at the floating life signing tomorrow." ”

"It's pretty, it's just...... Ahem......" Qingxia coughed violently halfway through speaking.

"Why are you still coughing? Haven't you already taken cold medicine?" Zhang Liren saw that Qingxia was coughing again, and couldn't help but walk to her side, put the back of his hand on her forehead to measure the temperature, and frowned: "It's a little hot, it seems that you don't have a cold or a fever, do you want me to go to Zhang's Hospital in front and ask Dr. Zhang to come to your house to hang water for you?"

"No, I took my medicine and just rested for a while. Qingxia shook her head, she has been sick since she was a child, colds and fevers are a frequent thing, often after taking medicine, go to bed and sleep the next day will be much better, and she is not afraid of injections.

Zhang Liren frowned, seeing that she insisted and didn't say much, as a friend, she knew that Qingxia was most afraid of pain, and there were almost no injections or anything: "Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, I'll go out to find a doctor, and why isn't your sister at home? ”

"Let's go out and play, that's it for the holidays. Qingxia replied.

"This girl, my sister is sick and running out. Zhang Liren has known Qingxia for many years, naturally she knows her sister Lixia, and she knows that she is a crazy girl who likes to play everywhere, but she didn't expect that her sister would feel uncomfortable with a cold today, and she ran out to play, thinking that she must talk about it well next time she sees her.

"Ahem...... Qingxia coughed twice, shook her head and said a little weakly: "Don't blame her, I was fine when she went out in the morning, just a little cough, but I felt a little dizzy at noon, and I started to work after you came over, but I have taken medicine, and now I feel much better, my nose is not blocked, my throat is not sore anymore, but I am still a little dizzy." ”

"Okay, then you can rest, I won't bother you, I'll sit with you here, and I'll leave when Lixia comes back." Zhang Liren saw that Qingxia was still coughing, but he didn't think she was tired, so he said a word, and sat on the side of the bed at the adjacent desk, picked up a book on the table and read it.

Qingxia suddenly said leisurely: "Aren't you cold in a skirt?" Recently, the weather in New Taipei has been very cold, I just went out yesterday without a coat and caught a cold, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I came back at night. ”

"It's okay, it's not very cold, and you don't know my body, it's as good as you want. Zhang Liren turned around and smiled and said: "You still care about yourself, tomorrow's floating book signing, I don't want you to still lie in bed, let me help you get an autograph when the time comes." ”

"How could it be! I will definitely go in person, and I also want to ask Fusheng if this Lin Wanrong returned to Hong Kong in the end, and Li Yanran was not cured in the end. I don't know if it's because of the chat, Qingxia's spirit is gradually improving, but it is still flowery in front of her, as if it was hazy when she just woke up.

In fact, Qingxia's problems are already obvious in the book, Li Yanran has a terminal illness that will definitely not be cured according to the conditions at the time, Lin Wanrong finally left Hong Kong, and even Huo Zainian himself didn't know where he went, and the hope of coming back was almost slim.

But Zhang Liren didn't say these words, she knew that Qingxia was a soft and naïve person, and it would inevitably make her sad if she said it, although this is just a few fictional characters in the book, but Fusheng wrote them in words as flesh and blood, as if they were real people, just like someone told you about a poignant love in Hong Kong, but it really happened but it was just hearsay.

Zhang Liren didn't want Qingxia to say too much: "Yes, so rest early, and when you wait for tomorrow, you will ask Fusheng in person." ”

"Okay. Qingxia saw that Zhang Liren was so resolute, she also nodded and closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for a while, but suddenly remembered what a senior sister from a school in the next building said yesterday, and opened her eyes again and asked curiously: "Liren, I heard the senior sister in the next building say that the doll in their class dropped out of school completely?"

"Well, I dropped out of school, I saw her performance on TV the day before yesterday, her new song "How Beautiful the World is" is really good, and I heard that 20,000 records have been sold, if I have Teresa Teng's singing voice, I will definitely drop out of school, and I can earn one or two thousand Taiwan dollars by performing, which is much more comfortable than going to work. Zhang Liren knew about this, who made Teng Lijun a well-known figure in Jinling Girls' High School? There are one or two thousand people in junior high school and high school, and almost no one does not know her.

From the time Zhang Liren and Qingxia first entered the school in 67 years when they were in their first year of high school, they heard the legend of their classmates that there was a person named Teresa Teng among the senior sisters, who was very famous for singing in the New Taipei Song Hall and was known as the "Queen of Doll Songs" , The appearance fee for one night is one or two thousand New Taiwan dollars, which is the salary of an ordinary new employee in the entire New Taipei City for a whole month, and the female classmates who told them the news almost all had envious expressions, after all, they are already high school students, they know the role of money, and they also understand how difficult it is to make money, so when I heard that Teresa Teng can earn a month's salary from others by performing and singing in one night, why not be enviable?

A few months later, news came out that the school delayed too many classes because of Teresa Teng's singing in the song hall and performing in Tainan and other places, forcing her to choose between studying and singing. Teresa Teng's father had negotiated with the school many times, hoping that they would open up and let his daughter get her graduation certificate, but the school leaders were very resolute and refused to make any concessions.

There was no way, at that time, Deng Lijun could only go through the suspension procedures, but she was still hanging under Jinling Girls' High School, and there were still many female students who despised her because of jealousy, she only knew how to make money but did not know how to study hard.

But with Teresa Teng's name changed to Teresa Teng and released her first album "Fengyang Flower Drum", which sold 30,000 copies in Taiwan, and even radio and television invited her to participate in the show, a whirlwind suddenly blew on major campuses in New Taipei City, and young students, listening to Teresa Teng's songs, has become a fashion, if anyone can't sing her songs, they will be discriminated against and despised among their classmates.

In this way, all of those who used to laugh at her were dumbfounded, and they began to tout, and those who used to disdain her from school to sing had to catch up with the fashion, even if they pretended to be Teresa Teng's fans.

As Teresa Teng became more and more famous in Taiwan, the girls in the school changed from disdain and ridicule to envy and jealousy, not only them, but even Qingxia and Zhang Liren were very envious of this senior sister, after all, becoming a popular female singer is what every girl hopes for, but the congenital conditions make most people believe that it is impossible to take the road of singing.

Qingxia was a little envious and disappointed: "I have always wanted to see this senior sister with my own eyes, I thought she would come to school to study, but I didn't expect to drop out of school completely." ”

Zhang Liren is a very lively person, this kind of person is often well-connected in school, and he knows a little inside information: "It's not that I don't read it, I heard from the senior sister of Deng Liyun's class that her father had invited teachers to teach her at home before, I think it may be that the school is unwilling." ”

Saying that, Zhang Liren suddenly said with some loss: "It's a pity that I can't sing, otherwise I would like to try what it's like to be a singer." ”

Seeing her friend's sad face, Qingxia grinned and said, "If you can't sing, you can also go to make movies and become movie stars, don't you like Zhen Zhen and Wang Ling very much? ”

Zhang Liren sighed: "Being a movie star?" Alas, I'd better forget it, my father definitely doesn't agree, he still wants me to study at Tsinghua University, but I can graduate from high school with a stable grade. ”

"Okay, don't be depressed, take your time, my grades are not very good, by the way, don't you like it? You can try to write, just like Qiong Yao, tomorrow you can ask Fusheng how to write a book." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liren's eyes lit up, and he secretly pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You're good, I'll ask tomorrow." By the way, what do you think of my clothes?"

Going around and around, I didn't expect Zhang Liren to shift the topic to her clothes again, Qingxia wanted to laugh a little, but when she laughed, she felt as if her chest was being torn, so she couldn't help but smile and whispered: "It's good-looking, believe me, your clothes are very beautiful, just like those cover girls in magazines." ”

"Really?" After receiving the compliment, the corners of Zhang Liren's mouth curled slightly, and his heart was happy: "I also feel that my outfit is very beautiful, and I spent more than two hundred to buy it in New Taipei Department Store." ”

In the evening, Huo Yaowen and Manager Zhu followed behind Wen Meiqi and walked into the box arranged by Aoki Publishing House in the New Taipei Hotel.

As soon as he walked into the lobby of the New Taipei Hotel, Huo Yaowen saw a middle-aged man in a suit with oily hair sitting in the front desk lounge area, standing up from the sofa and walking over.

"Mr. Huo, this is Fang Zhengde, the editor-in-chief of our Aoki Publishing House. Wen Meiqi hurriedly introduced on the side.

Before Huo Yaowen could open his mouth, the other party first stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hello Mr. Huo, Fang Zhengde, the editor-in-chief of the contemptible Aoki Publishing House." ”

"Hello Editor-in-Chief Fang. Huo Yaowen kept a smile and shook hands with the other party and said: "I am very grateful to the editor-in-chief of the troublesome party who came to Taiwan this time to help arrange the signing meeting." ”

Editor-in-Chief Fang laughed and said, "Where, Mr. Huo can come to Taiwan to hold a signing meeting, which is good news for us." Mr. Huo, you may not know anything in Hong Kong, but now there are many of your book lovers in Taiwan, and there are many of them in New Taipei City alone. Therefore, it is great news for our publishing house that Mr. Huo can come to Taiwan to hold a book signing meeting this time, and I am afraid that this book signing meeting will be able to increase a lot of book sales again. ”

Huo Yaowen complimented him twice: "Editor-in-Chief Fang laughed, if it weren't for the good publicity of your publishing house, I think no matter how good my writing is, I'm afraid no one will care about it." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words in the hall, and Huo Yaowen introduced Zhu Wenqing beside him to Fang Zhengde: "Editor-in-chief Fang, this is Zhu Wenqing, the marketing manager of the University of Hong Kong Press. ”

Hong Kong University Press? Fang Zhengde was stunned, this seems to be a little wrong, he cooperated with "Literary World", and if he wants to come at least a person from the literary world, how did he become the University of Hong Kong Press?

Zhu Wenqing stretched out his hand: "Hello Editor-in-Chief Fang, contemptible Zhu Wenqing is currently the manager of the marketing department of the University of Hong Kong Press, and this time I came to Taiwan with the president to cooperate with your publishing house to promote the publication of a new book." ”

Fang Zhengde glanced at Huo Yaowen next to him, saw him smiling, and couldn't help but be curious, but now is not the time to talk about these things, there are still a few guests in the box, and he can only suppress the puzzlement in his heart, and shake hands with Zhu Wenqing with a smile and say: "Hello Manager Zhu, we will talk about cooperation tomorrow, the banquet held today is mainly for the two of them to wash the dust, and there will be a few friends who will come over, they all like Mr. Huo's works very much, and I really hope to get to know Mr. Huo and make friends." ”

"Knock Knock ......"

With a knock on the door, a man wearing glasses took the lead in opening the door of the box and walked in, subconsciously glanced at the people in the box, first said hello to Fang Zhengde, and then noticed Huo Yaowen who was sitting next to him, walked over with a smile and said: "Old Fang, this is Mr. Huo, right?"

"Hmm. Fang Zhengde nodded, stood up and introduced to Huo Yaowen: "Mr. Huo, this is Li Hanxiang, a well-known director of Guolian Film Company, who has always told me that he likes Mr. Huo's "Sweet Honey" very much. ”

Li Hanxiang stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Huo, I am your book lover, I like your "Sweet Honey" very much. ”

Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows, got up and shook hands with the other party: "Director Li is polite, speaking of which, I am also your fan." ”

Li Hanxiang is not a young man like Feng Baobao or Baozhu, so he doesn't really care whether Huo Yaowen has seen the movies he made, but just laughs at the other party's words: "Oh? Then it seems that Mr. Huo and I can be described as bosom friends in the mountains and rivers, and we have been friends for a long time! ha......

Hearing what Li Hanxiang said, Huo Yaowen smiled in his heart, he and he can indeed be friends for a long time, and in later generations, Huo Yaowen once searched the Internet for many movies he made, but he has never had the opportunity to see them for a long time.

At this time, a few more people walked in outside, Huo Yaowen glanced at it, three of them were a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, weren't they the three Guolian Wufeng that he saw in the New Peking University Hotel in the morning?

Li Hanxiang walked up to the three daughters and introduced: "Mr. Huo, let me introduce to you, these three are one of the most well-known actresses of our Guolian Film Company, Zhen Zhen, Wang Ling and Jiang Qing. ”

Turning his head, he introduced the other two people: "This is Lu Qi, the owner of the 21st Century Film Company, and he is also a well-known movie star in Hong Kong." This is Yang Qun, a popular student of our League of Nations Film Company, who became the leading actor of the Golden Horse Awards last year with "Several Degrees of Sunset Red". ”
