It was a day in May, the wind was mild, and the sky was cloudless.

Percival Street, Causeway Bay, Lee Theatre.

"Mr. Huo, I haven't seen you for a long time, thank you for coming to see my movie today. Qiong Yao walked out to greet Huo Yaowen with a smile on her face.

Huo Yaowen shook hands and smiled: "Ms. Chen is too polite, there was a little delay on the road today, I am a step late, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's still a while before the movie starts, and Mr. Huo is not too late. Qiong Yao smiled and shook her head, and suddenly her eyes noticed the two women beside Huo Yaowen.

Seeing Qiong Yao's eyes staring at the second daughter beside her, Huo Yaowen said, "Let me introduce you to Ms. Chen, this is my girlfriend Anna, and this is my cousin Zhang Wanjun." ”

Anna, who has been in Hong Kong for almost two years, although she still speaks Cantonese a little weird, but there is basically no problem with listening, watching Huo Yaowen introduce herself, she smiled and said in broken Cantonese: "Hello Ms. Chen." ”

"Hello Ms. Anna. Qiong Yao replied with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Wanjun on the side. In fact, Qiong Yao was not very impressed by Zhang Wanjun, even if Zhang Wanjun's book sold more than 100,000 copies in Taiwan last year, she was also a stranger to her, but when she came to Hong Kong to promote the new movie, she heard the reporter mention that it was just an official politeness at that time, and after she went back, she would find someone to understand the information about this woman.

As soon as I learned about it, I was surprised to find that Zhang Wanjun's fame in Hong Kong is quite big, especially in recent times, which can almost be said to be known throughout Hong Kong.

Zhang Wanjun stretched out her hand generously: "Hello Ms. Chen." Zhang Wanjun kept looking at Qiong Yao on the side just now, this is not the other party's fame, but Huo Tingting showed her a lot of Qiong Yao last year, including a book called "Cousin Wanjun", the plot in it always makes her can't help but think of herself.

"Hello Miss Zhang. Qiong Yao shook her hand, also glanced at Zhang Wanjun a few more times, and then she smiled at Huo Yaowen in front of her: "I didn't expect that Miss Zhang, a talented girl who is famous in Hong Kong, is actually Mr. Huo's cousin. ”

Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Where is ......?"

"Sister Chen. ”

At this time, a beautiful girl walked out of the theater, she had long hair and was wearing a gray half-arm sleeve long skirt, and after walking quickly to Qiong Yao's side, she glanced at Huo Yaowen and the two girls beside him curiously, and then said to Qiong Yao: "Sister Chen, Director Song asked me to come out to find you, saying that the movie is about to start." ”

"Got it. Qiong Yao nodded and said to Huo Yaowen: "Mr. Huo, let's go in, the movie is about to start." ”

"Good. Huo Yaowen smiled, and led Anna and Zhang Wanjun to follow Qiong Yao in.

After entering the Li Stage Theater and finding that there were quite a few people sitting inside, Qiong Yao arranged the best position for the three of them to watch the movie not far away, and then left first.

When Qiong Yao arrived backstage, she said a few words to Song Cunshou, the director of the film, and the guests, reporters and audiences had arrived, and the movie could be screened.

When Qiong Yao was about to leave after chatting with the director, Gui Yalei, who had gone to find her before, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Chen, who was that gentleman just now?

Qiong Yao looked at her and smiled: "Is the face familiar? That one just now was Huo Yaowen." ”

"Huo Yaowen!" Gui Yalei's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked again: "Is it the author of "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind"?"

Qiong Yao nodded: "Well, it's him, the two ladies next to him just now, one is his girlfriend Anna, and the other is Zhang Wanjun, a famous female writer in Hong Kong." ”

Before Gui Yalei could say anything, he only heard Qiong Yao say again: "Okay, let's not talk about it yet, let's go out quickly, the movie is about to start, this time I spent a lot of effort to invite these friends, don't delay." ”

According to the original history, this "Deep Courtyard" will not be filmed and screened until next year, but since Li Hanxiang's adaptation of Huo Yaowen's work "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" was made into a movie last year, and it was a big hit in Taiwan, Qiong Yao couldn't wait to make a movie "Deep Courtyard", which she had just finished writing for less than half a year, thinking that she could also have a good box office with this shareholder wind.

Qiong Yao is not worried about the Taiwan market, after all, it is her home base, but the Hong Kong market is different, it has been flooded with various martial arts films of Shaw Brothers in the past two years, and the box office of literary films has never been very good, so she has to find a way to improve the publicity of her film.

When she first came to Hong Kong to promote the movie, she was asked by a reporter about Zhang Wanjun, and Qiong Yao thought of using her fame, but although Zhang Wanjun has been very famous recently, no photos have ever been revealed, and no one knows her true identity.

So after Qiong Yao learned that Zhang Wanjun's previous two books were Yaowen Book Company, she personally wrote two invitations, inviting Huo Yaowen and Zhang Wanjun to come over to watch a movie together.

Qiong Yao is not very sure whether she can invite Zhang Wanjun, but she is still a little confident in inviting Huo Yaowen, after all, she is one of the judges in the essay competition of "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Pie" held by "Literary World" two years ago, and she is also an acquaintance with Huo Yaowen.

In fact, just as Qiong Yao thought, after receiving the invitation, Huo Yaowen didn't think much about it, and after asking Zhang Wanjun what he meant, the two agreed to come down to watch this movie, as for Anna because she was on vacation and came to Huo Yaowen, he brought it with him.

...

The first few rows in the theater are all friends or reporters invited by Qiong Yao, and the audience is behind, and as soon as Huo Yaowen sat down, he found that there were many acquaintances, and in front of him sat Deng Maiji, Lin Yanni and Sanmao, old friends.

Huo Yaowen introduced Anna and Zhang Wanjun to a few people to get to know, Anna and they didn't know each other, but Zhang Wanjun didn't know Sanmao, Deng McKee and Lin Yanni and her can be said to be old friends, they both work in a magazine, how can they not be familiar?

Because it was in the theater, there were many people I didn't know next to me, and after a few greetings and polite words, they didn't talk much, Huo Yaowen also sat up straight, quietly preparing to wait for the movie.

At this time, someone behind him suddenly whispered, "Hello Mr. Huo." ”

Huo Yaowen looked back and was surprised to find that the person sitting behind him was actually Zheng Shaoqiu, and the person next to him was Jiang David!

Surprised, Huo Yaowen smiled politely: "Hello." ”

Seeing that the other party was taking care of himself, Zheng Shaoqiu hurriedly introduced himself: "Mr. Huo, my name is Zheng Shaoqiu, and I am a contracted actor of TVB. ”

Don't look at Zheng Shaoqiu, who will be famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the future, but at this moment he is just a young actor who has just joined TVB, and when facing Huo Yaowen, a famous writer in Hong Kong, he will inevitably feel a little excited and excited.

"Hello Mr. Zheng. Facing the enthusiastic Zheng Shaoqiu, Huo Yaowen just replied flatly.

Although Jiang David was dissatisfied with Zheng Shaoqiu's behavior, Huo Yaowen had already turned around at this time, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello Mr. Huo, I'm Jiang David." ”

Huo Yaowen had already seen Jiang David, but he didn't know him well and didn't want to know him, but when he saw that the other party took the initiative to chat with him, he smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang is also here! Congratulations on winning glory for our Hong Kong films." ”

was told about his glorious deeds, Jiang Dawei was happy and hurriedly complimented: "Where, Mr. Huo is the light of our Hong Kong, and several books he has written are selling abroad, and I am also a fan of yours." ”

Compared with Zheng Shaoqiu, who is still struggling to be a young actor, Jiang David can be said to have mixed up at this time, since he was appreciated by Director Zhang Cheda a few years ago, so he signed a contract to join Shaw Brothers Film Company as an actor.

With director Zhang Da as a backer, he can be described as smooth sailing at the Shaw Brothers, not only starred in several martial arts films one after another, but also played the role of the actor Guan Xiaolou in the early Republic of China movie "Revenge" directed by Zhang Che, and won the Best Actor Award at the 16th Asian Film Festival this year, becoming the first actor in Hong Kong history.

At that time, when the news of Jiang David's award came to Hong Kong, it could be said to be a sensation, but at that time, Huo Yaowen went to the UK for half a month, and when he came back, the craze gradually dissipated.

After a few simple polite words, Huo Yaowen turned sideways.

At this time, Qiong Yao and Gui Yalei also walked over slowly from the outside in the dark, and after sitting down, Gui Yalei saw Huo Yaowen sitting in two positions on the right side, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

In a moment, the lights in the theater also dimmed instantly, and a picture appeared on the screen, and everyone in the theater watched the movie seriously.
