On July 16, the summer vacation of Hong Kong began, and "Notting Hill" was grandly released.

As Lin Qingxia's first collaboration with 'younger brother' Fang Jianhui more than a year after leaving the big screen, it has attracted a lot of attention before it was released. Fang Jianhui didn't want to hype up the 'sister and brother' relationship, but the media didn't let it go, and almost all kinds of reports mentioned the strange 'sister and brother' relationship between them.

However, the enthusiasm of the audience is not affected by these sour media at all, after the release, there are long queues to buy tickets at the entrance of each theater of Angel Cinema Line, and often one person buys three or five, six or seven tickets, and under the instruction of Fang Jianhui, Angel Cinema Line is acquiring on the one hand and joining on the other, and the number of its theaters and seats have also increased a lot, resulting in the box office of "Notting Hill" reaching a terrifying six million in the first week!

In addition to traditional folk tales such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Baolian Lantern, and Xue Pinggui, romantic movies with rich women and poor men in the modern sense are still rare. The love story of a big star like "Notting Hill" falling in love with a poor dick is still very fresh at this time. When watching, male audiences are easy to substitute themselves in the position of the male protagonist, and fantasize that there is also a big star who is both beautiful and artistic, and because of the male protagonist's unnatural appearance, female audiences also understand the heroine's behavior, and praise the heroine's behavior of bravely confessing to the male protagonist regardless of the disparity in status.

In addition to the main line of the love story, there are many humorous small details in the movie, such as the male protagonist's teasing roommate, the arrogant stockbroker, and the male protagonist pretending to be a reporter from "Horses and Hounds" magazine to interview the heroine, etc., these details make people laugh, but they are by no means vulgar, and compared with the funny and pee farts in Hong Kong films now, the style is obviously one notch higher.

"This romantic comedy is a rare genre of cinema that actually writes about celebrities with a double-edged sword: it will bring you both honor and harm. The movie uses the heroine's mouth to show the difficulties of actresses: in order to maintain their body shape, they haven't really eaten enough for many years, they are afraid of being angry, etc. ”

"Overall, it's a romantic comedy about an ordinary person's insecurity in the face of love. ”

"An enjoyable and exhilarating romantic comedy. ”

"With quiet wit, a fantasy plot is vividly interpreted. ”

Tang Shuxuan, of the film biweekly, wrote a long article "Deconstructing Notting Hill" with the insight of a woman, which caused a great response in the midst of praise.

"Notting Hill, in fact, is a work carefully woven by Fang Jianhui and specially designed for Lin Qingxia's name, please allow me to reverie, the heroine couldn't help but kiss the male protagonist at the beginning, reflecting Lin Qingxia's feelings for Fang Jianhui when she was not famous? The nude photo crisis encountered by the heroine in the movie is very similar to the third-party incident that Lin Qingxia encountered before. When the female protagonist encounters a crisis, the male protagonist firmly supports her, does Fang Jianhui in real life also support Lin Qingxia like this?"

"This movie is actually a propositional essay, and it is a propositional essay with many restrictions, but our Fang Gongzi, with a wonderful movie and peerless talent, handed in an answer sheet that was close to a full score. The reason why I say it's close to a perfect score is because I have a little dissatisfaction with the end of the movie, and if there is no press conference at the end, it would be the most perfect if the male and female protagonists ended in tragedy. ”

"One "My Sassy Girlfriend", one "Notting Hill", two movies, two heroines with distinct personalities, dare to love and hate, and as the male protagonist in the two films, in order to set off the image of the heroine, Fang Jianhui is so inconspicuous. Such a talented and powerful man is willing to be a foil for women, how gentle and considerate he must be in reality! I can now fully understand the sweetness and happiness of Teresa Teng and Lin Qingxia when they mention this 'younger brother', if I also have such a 'younger brother', I will wake up with a smile in my dreams, right?"

The first part is quite observant, and the latter is completely habitually mad at Fang Jianhui, and her readers are already immune to it.

Almost simultaneously with the release of "Notting Hill" on the Xiangjiang side, the film "EndlessLove" released by Twentieth Century Fox was released in North America on July 17, the film itself was of average quality, and the box office was also tepid, with more than 4 million in the first week, and a total box office of 32 million when it finally went offline, a medium-sized success.

The movie is insignificant, but the theme song of the same name of this film is a blockbuster, which is sung by Fang Jianhui and Teresa Teng. A week before the film's release, Fox Records began charting the track on July 11th, and in the following weeks, it topped the Billboard Singles 100 chart at 54, 38, 24, 14, 2, and 1, and topped the Billboard Singles 100 chart on August 15th, where it topped the weekly charts for nine consecutive weeks!

Fang Jianhui and Teresa Teng's affectionate interpretation, and the other songs have been prosperous and circulated for a long time, and have also become the repertoire of Teresa Teng's future concerts and guest Fang Jianhui. After that, there were several pairs of singers who covered them, but fans recognized that Fang Jianhui and Teresa Teng's version was the most classic. Later, this song (Fang and Deng versions) was listed by Billboard Magazine as the number one duet song of all time chart. ’

During the screening of the film, Fang Jianhui except for accompanying Lin Qingxia to Taiwan Island to promote the film and set up a scene for Lin Qingxia in her hometown, he stayed in Xiangjiang for the rest of the time, and he also used this time to visit the crews of various women.

He went to Li's TV "Sweet Twenty Four Flavors" crew first, Zhu Baoyi, Guan Zhilin, his two little lovers are in this crew, this is a fashion drama, starring Zhang Guorong and Zhu Baoyi, they are a couple in the play, Guan Zhilin has fewer scenes. Zhu Baoyi can be the heroine, although she has the influence of Fang Jianhui, but it is also inseparable from her own efforts.

Fang Jianhui didn't say hello, he rushed directly to the crew in Tsuen Wan, as soon as he saw him, Zhu Baoyi, who was filming, was overjoyed, but he could still shoot calmly, Guan Zhilin on the side didn't care so much, and pounced regardless of the impact. Fortunately, she called 'Brother Hui', not 'husband', otherwise it would not be easy to clean up.

Fang Jianhui caught Guan Zhilin who pounced, and kissed him on the cheek, making it look like his brother hurting his sister, touching his head and pinching his face, as for what others guessed, it didn't matter.

Seeing that there were still many people eager to try to get close to Fang Jianhui, producer Lai Shuiqing had no choice but to pause filming and come over to say hello to him. Fang Jianhui apologized for disturbing their filming. Seeing that Zhu Baoyi also wanted him to hug him, but he didn't dare to think that there were many people, so he stepped forward very 'openly' and took the initiative to hug this very low-key little lover, and kissed him on the cheek.

Fang Jianhui also chatted with the actor Zhang Guorong, knowing that he had signed Angel Pictures and Angel Records, and after the record company was building an album for him, he encouraged him a few words, patted him on the shoulder, and made Zhang Handsome guy's bones lighter. However, this guy is indeed very handsome, if it weren't for Fang Jianhui's more handsomeness and the fetters of the system, he really wouldn't be at ease to let his woman play with him.

After chatting with Zhong Luo, Wen Xueer and other main cast and crew, Fang Jianhui didn't want to disturb too much, and after apologizing to producer Lai Shuiqing again, he left, as for what impact he had on the crew and his two little lovers because of his arrival, he couldn't care about it.

Because of her closeness to Fang Jianhui, everyone immediately changed their attitude towards her, and she was even more overjoyed when she saw it.

McDonald's bear reassured him, he will not leave Lishi, he is just a creative idea, he will find someone else to direct, he is at most a producer, and the focus of his work is still on Lishi's side. Oh, Fang Jianhui was a little relieved, and said that it was not a problem to make a movie, and if the script was okay, he could invest and distribute it to help McDonald's Bear get it together.
