"After a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people have gradually woken up...... The Great Wall will never fall, the Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles, the rivers and mountains are beautiful, and the mountains are beautiful and colorful......

In Yidu Film Company, several bigwigs are arguing, but these have nothing to do with Chen Jialuo.

At this time, he walked out of the gate of the Cathay Pacific Building and unconsciously hummed 'The Great Wall will never fall'. Although Zeng Qiwei left the art capital, it was worth the trip to be able to get Xu You's invitation.

Fortunately, he became one of the directors of the New Wave Movement of Films, otherwise he still has a long way to go if he wants to enter this industry and truly become a director!

Like the protagonists in those novels in previous lives, engaging in independent films, relying on scripts to attract investment, etc., is tantamount to fantasy.

With Chen Jialuo's identity and qualifications, it is not difficult for him to take charge of the guide tube. But as a director, there is also something to be particular about. For example, if you are not favored by one of the Big Seven, then you can only be a puppet director.

Whatever the producer gives you, you will shoot. If you are told to shoot however you want, you have to shoot how you want.

Now that Xu You's film studio is thriving and righteous, going to him is an excellent choice for Chen Jialuo.

At the beginning, Wu Zhisen pulled Xu You, and later Wu Zhisen went to Taiwan and was at a loss, and when he returned to Xiangjiang, Xu You immediately reciprocated, and "The True Color of Heroes" was born.

And in terms of film shooting, Xu You's temperament is also very similar to Chen Jialuo.

Under the influence of many factors, Chen Jialuo naturally would not refuse Xu You's invitation after considering it. And it is still the same as Yidu Film Company, and there is no way to refuse Huang Bai's invitation.

"Let me take a good look at the Pearl of the Orient of this world!"

Chan Ka-lok, who was in a good mood, thought about it and finally decided to go to Tsim Sha Tsui and celebrate himself at the Peninsula Hotel, which is known as 'If you can't afford to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, go to the Peninsula for afternoon tea'.

It is reported that the Peninsula Hotel has a rule: except for guests staying on the Peninsula, no foreign reservations are accepted for afternoon tea in the lobby.

As a result, people waiting for tea stand in line in the inner corridor of the hotel lobby, including dignitaries and celebrities, including movie and television stars.

However, the Peninsula rejects "paparazzi" and strictly forbids taking photos in the lobby, so that visitors can enjoy the beautiful afternoon without worry, relaxation and comfort.

It may be because the people of Xiangjiang have been influenced by the British colonial culture for a long time, and they care very much about their identity and scenes. Therefore, some people tend to regard this kind of upper-class activity as a place of taste, and do not care about what is gained.

So, who I met at the Peninsula Hotel today, and who was at the Peninsula Hotel yesterday to make up the shot, has become a talking point for tea drinkers, and if you have the opportunity to get an autograph from a celebrity, it will become a once-in-a-lifetime honor.

But one thing is certain, that is, whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials and nobles, when they arrive at the Peninsula Hotel, they will enjoy the same courtesy, and there will never be a distinction between 369 and so on in the mainland.

Perhaps, you are drinking tea with your legs crossed at the Peninsula Hotel, and the consul of the US Consulate or a secretary of the Hong Kong government, or someone who has been elected as the actress of Hong Kong, may be waiting in line behind you. Unless he changes places for afternoon tea, he will definitely not run ahead of you.

It is also because many film and television stars like to go to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea, and it also has the reputation of 'Filmmaker's Teahouse'.

When I thought of it, I naturally wanted to see this well-known 'Shadow Teahouse', and it was to celebrate the success of today's trip.

"Master, The Peninsula. ”

From the Cathay Pacific Building to the Peninsula Hotel, it was just over half an hour, and Chen Jialuo stopped a taxi and went straight away.

Along the way, Chen Jialuo looked at the traffic and was stunned.

The driver glanced through the mirror and asked, "Hou Shengzi, are you chasing stars so early?"

True fans know where their idols like to go. Xiangjiang is so big, and there are only a few celebrities who like to go to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea. In the driver's opinion, Chen Jialuo rushed over at the meal to squat, and the idol appeared.

When Chen Jialuo heard this, he smiled and said, "Drink tea!"

"Tea?" The driver glanced at a few more times in surprise, paying more attention to Chen Jialuo's dress, and finally shook his head and said, "No." ”

Going to other places to drink tea is a very relaxing pastime, so whether it is a teahouse or a café, I have never heard of changing clothes.

But at the Peninsula Hotel in Xiangjiang, all the people who went to drink tea were all suits and leather shoes, tassels and powder.

For this, people who are used to it are very dissatisfied, and feel that this is contrary to the original intention of leisure.

In fact, this is a British tradition, and the upper class circles think that afternoon tea on the peninsula is an elegant party, so it has been inherited.

Many upper-class women don't like the kind of unkempt men, with messy hair, dandruff all around the collar, and the folds of the suit can be seen at a glance that there is no ironing, which looks very tasteless.

Therefore, as long as there are female guests present, men must carefully tidy up to show a gentlemanly demeanor of respect for women.

Chen Jialuo is dressed in casual clothes today, not low-class, but by no means like an upper-class person. People who have free time to go to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea on weekdays, no matter how the driver looks at Chen Jialuo, he doesn't look like him.

In this regard, Chen Jialuo just smiled.

Waiting for the Peninsula Hotel, Chen Jialuo walked straight to the lobby. This time period is just the time for meals, and it is not the time for afternoon tea at all, but many people order the main meal and eat.

Chen Jialuo casually found a place, maybe he was not hungry, and ordered a 300 Hong Kong dollars afternoon tea set under the surprised gaze of the waiter, and then gave a little tip.

The waiters at the Peninsula Hotel are all pure British, so Chen Jialuo, who has studied in the UK, is very familiar with this set of ghost things.

The afternoon tea of 300 Hong Kong dollars is very expensive, but it is a medium set meal. And this time period to order afternoon tea set, inexplicable?

The afternoon tea peak is usually around 3 o'clock and then continues until 7 o'clock in the evening. The atmosphere here is very suitable for the kind of petty bourgeoisie who pursue elegance, ease and leisure, and no matter what the world is like, the pursuit and love of Peninsula afternoon tea has been enduring for a long time.

Looking at Chen Jialuo's dress, the waiter thought that the other party should just come to experience luxury. It was the other party's authentic English that almost brought him back to England.

Watching the blonde waiter leave, Chen Jialuo carefully observed the lobby of The Peninsula Hotel.

The tall space, the low back of music, the classical and fashionable decoration, and the just right temperature are filled with the sweet smell of warm pastry baking.

Dressed in white uniforms over the years, the western style of the building and the oriental charm presented by the details are integrated, condensing nobility and elegance into an incomparable extraordinary temperament.

"It was very comfortable indeed. Chen Jialuo nodded, looked at the gentlemen at the other table, and said secretly: "Do everything to make a brand impression, the afternoon tea at The Peninsula Hotel is like a movie of a golden signature film company or a director or actor, which makes people linger." ”

……

"Xueni, did you know that the cake of "Tiramisu" is followed by a story?" At the third table next to Chen Jialuo, a young man with oily hair and flour gently shook his red wine glass and looked at the female companion opposite with a smile.

During World War II, an Italian soldier was about to go to war, and his anxious lover had no time to bake a beautiful cake, so he had to scramble to make egg and cocoa powder cake strips into crude and quick snacks, and then sweat profusely and deliver them to his sweetheart.

Therefore, that snack is also called "take me away". The food is simple, but it is sweet and fragrant, and it is full of deep love.

War and love, cake and mood, can blend these seemingly unrelated things so romantic, probably only in Western-style tea.

"It's easy to pretend to be a hand, and you can use this trick at this time to hook female veterans. Chen Jialuo happened to know this story.

But when he saw the woman's face clearly, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Isn't that woman named Xue Ni the heroine of "Mong Kok Night", the heroine who is decided by 'herself'.

"No wonder the name Xueni is so familiar......"
