Chapter 104: Running
104
On July 7th, the Xiangjiang summer file began, Angel Cinema and Anle Cinema jointly screened Fang Jianhui's "The Little Thing of First Love", and Golden Harvest Cinema released "Five Lucky Stars" starring Hong Jinbao, Fang Long, and Zhong Chuhong, and the focus of media attention was Fang Jianhui vs. Zhong Chuhong - 'Sister and Brother Battle'.
"The Five Lucky Stars" is a good movie, full of whimsy, funny, action, and stars. But "The Little Thing of First Love" is stronger, and its script has been strengthened by Fang Jianhui, fresh and beautiful youth, handsome men and women, and explosive music, which has been welcomed by the majority of teenagers and even audiences of all ages.
During the release of the film, Nakamori Mingcai personally came to Xiangjiang, and at the Angel Cinema, she greeted everyone in Chinese and sang "First Love" for the audience on the spot, with beautiful songs and super cute images that are unforgettable.
When the two films were painted four weeks later, "The Little Thing of First Love" exceeded 30 million at the box office, becoming another work to break the 30 million mark after "Alien ET". "Five Lucky Stars" also performed well, with a box office of 21 million, it can be said that there are no losers in this 'battle of sisters and brothers'.
With this work, Nakamori Famous Cuisine has also become the idol of Xiangjiang teenagers, and has become the representative of Dongying beautiful girls, and is warmly sought after by teenagers. Coupled with Fang Jianhui's identity as 'sister', the people of Xiangjiang have a sense of intimacy with her, feeling that she is like their own. She appears from time to time in Xiangjiang's movies and songs:
Recently, the popular Nakamori famous cuisine girl, goose egg face, big eyes, pure like a doll, Xiao Chen's girlfriend among colleagues is like that, he held her in the palm of his hand, because there were too many people to rob, he couldn't help but carelessly, I saw the two of them hand in hand when they went in and out, as intimate as honey. --Yishu "Diary of a Young Man"
"Looking for the evening and ringing in the east to meet a Japanese doll, the eyes are particularly large, Zhong has a pointed chin, and some are like Nakamori's famous dishes, which are not fake, funny and particularly straight Japanese"--Xu Guanjie "Japanese Doll"
In the 84 movie "The Frog Prince", Chen Baixiang asked Zhong Zhengtao what type of girl he liked: "Then what type do you want?" Zhong Zhengtao replied: "I like very innocent, small jasper type, just like the famous dishes of Nakamori." β
The common phrase 'my dish' in later generations can be traced back to its roots, that is, from the fans' affectionate name for Nakamori's famous dishes.
The list goes on and on. Although Nakamori Famous Cuisine has not been in Xiangjiang for a few days, it has already attracted countless fans.
On the same day, "Lightning Dance" opened on a large scale in North America, with a box office of $11 million in the first week, and won the weekly champion.
Unlike the audience's favorite, the film received a lot of criticism from critics:
"The film has almost no plot, it's like watching a music video for more than 90 minutes. β
"The costumes, the music and the dancing are outstanding, but it doesn't tell a whole story. β
"If 'Lightning Dance' had spent a little more time on the story, it would have been a good movie. β
"The only commendable thing is Theresa's song and Sophie Marsue's dance, and Fang Jianhui's work is completely unsatisfactory. β
"Sophie Marsso doesn't have to feel bad, it's not her fault that this movie is so bad. --Le Figaro
Fang Jianhui had already expected that he would be criticized, but it was the first time that he had been criticized so harshly, and the focus of film critics' complaints was on the story of the film. He was not angry in his heart, although the story was a little clichΓ©d, but it would be too much to say that there was no plot.
However, in the mouth of film critics, Sophie Masu's performance and Teng Lijun's songs were unanimously praised, as if they had nothing to do with him Fang Jianhui, and he knew that his credit in music and dance was selectively ignored by film critics. Fang Jianhui's works were wonderful before, and these critics couldn't spray if they wanted to, they held back for a long time, and today they finally caught Fang Jianhui's average level works, so I'm still polite to you?
The original soundtrack of the movie, which was launched at the same time as the film, was blessed by the film's hot screening, and sold well as soon as it was released, with the title song "Flashdance... hat A Feeling", the film's theme song, sung by Teresa Teng, began hitting the charts on July 4, and four weeks later topped the Billboard singles chart and remained the top spot for six weeks.
The album includes 10 songs, six songs sung by Teresa Teng, four sung by Fang Jianhui, two weeks after the launch, the North American certified sales exceeded 1 million copies, reaching the platinum record standard, and by the end of the following year, North America reached six platinum, with a total global sales of more than 20 million copies! This is Teresa Teng's third album of more than 10 million after "Guilty" and "Physical", and the status of a world-class diva is becoming more and more stable.

"Boss, there's an invitation to the show, I think you can take a look. Shirley pushed the door in.
"Oh?" Fang Jianhui ignored it on ordinary occasions, but what Shirley specially took out and said, it was definitely not ordinary.
"Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. Fang Jianhui first looked at the payment on the invitation letter. "Ahh
Shirley skillfully sat in his arms and said with a smile: "That is, isn't the Summer Olympics going to be held in Los Angeles next year? β
The Olympic Games, this is not a small occasion, but a top occasion among the top, and it can be said that it is the ultimate dream of all artists to show off at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. With such an opportunity in front of us, no one will easily say no.
"It's too big, I'm going to think about it. Fang Jianhui said with a smile, and then said: "Don't think about it, people give me such a big face, if I want to refuse, I will be too good at being a person." β
"That's what I thought, too. Shirley said: "However, this is only a preliminary invitation from the Olympic Organizing Committee, and it will be screened, even if we agree, we may not be able to appear at the final opening ceremony." β
"I'd rather people bear me than I should bear others. Fang Jianhui said: "Let's agree to come down, even if it is screened out in the end, it is not our problem." β
"Boss, I have a way to make sure that the boss will be present at the Olympics next year. β
"Oh!? β
"Boss, your physical strength is so good, you can handle it no matter how many women you have. Shirley swam over him with her slender hand and said obsessively, "Why don't you become an athlete?"
"Hmm, athlete, what athlete?" Fang Jianhui froze, he really hadn't thought about this stubble.
"100 meters or 200 meters, sprinters. Shirley said as a matter of course: "As long as you practice well, you will run in ten or twenty seconds during the competition, and you won't delay the boss for much time." β
"It's that simple, then you can give it a try. Fang Jianhui also didn't know the height of the sky, and asked, "Do you know how to participate?
"I've inquired and the sprint competition at the Olympics is very simple, for example, in the 100m and 200m, each NOC can send up to three athletes in each event (all three athletes must meet the A standard) or one athlete who meets the B standard. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, we can send three athletes who have reached Target A or one athlete who has reached Criterion B to participate in the competition. β
"In these two projects, how many of us in Xiangjiang have reached the A or B standard?" Fang Jianhui asked, first getting to know the local competitors.
"As far as I know, not a single one. Shirley smiled: "That's why I said that participating in the Olympics is very simple, as long as the boss you meet the A or B standard, then this quota must be yours, because no one will compete with you." β
"Xiangjiang doesn't have any of them?" Fang Jianhui was surprised, realizing that this A and B mark may not be so simple. "How much is a bid A and a b?"
"I don't remember, you wait for me to look it up. Shirley turned around in his arms, stretched out her arm to take a piece of printer paper from the table, and read: "100 meters, 10.32 seconds for A and 10.43 seconds for B, 21.05 seconds for A and 21.41 seconds for 200 meters." β
"In other words, as long as I run 10.43 seconds in the 100 meters and 21.41 seconds in the 200 meters, I will be safe to participate in the Olympics. Fang Jianhui muttered to himself, and immediately reacted again, "How can I be satisfied with participating in the Olympics with such a high-quality person, winning the gold medal is my goal." Just go to the Olympics and come back with soy sauce, we can't afford to lose that person. β
Shirley's eyes were confused: "That's right, my boss should be so domineering!"
"Tell me, what are the world records in these two events?" Fang Jianhui said more and more.
If it were the Olympics somewhere else, he might not be very interested, but this is in Los Angeles, where his assets are concentrated, where his Hollywood nest is located, and it is not too convenient to participate. When the time comes, while making a movie, I will find time to run and run without delaying anything.
Moreover, winning the Olympic championship is still the heaviest and most watched 100m and 200m champions, which will greatly enhance his reputation around the world. Perhaps, his title of 'the first Olympic champion in the history of Hong Kong' could help him rise to a higher level of popularity in Hong Kong, elevating him from 'admiration' to 'worship' in one fell swoop, and becoming the first 'red' region in the 'Proof of the Overlord' mission map.
"The world record for the 100m is 9.93 seconds, which was set recently, and the 200m is 19.72 seconds, which was set in 1979. Shirley read the paper.
"I've decided to test it myself at home tomorrow. Then practice systematically, and if you don't run to the world record, you won't go to the competition. β
After Fang Jianhui finished speaking, he patted Shirley's bare buttocks and said, "Now feed you first." β
