Jobs' love history can be described as colorful, he and Jennifer? Egan met at a Silicon Valley dinner party last summer. At the time, Joan? Baez was there too. However, the two with a huge age difference have realized that they will not be able to develop.

Jennifer? Egan is a University of Pennsylvania undergraduate who was born in Chicago but grew up in San Francisco, graduating as she interns at a San Francisco weekly magazine.

Jobs, whose relationship is in another fresh period, to Jennifer? Egan was obsessed. However, there are often debates between the two, and this is no different for the movie.

"This desire to consume is unhealthy." Jobs sat in his seat, raised his hand and drew a circle in the air, almost including the entire audience, "We have to live a non-detached, non-material life in order to achieve spiritual awakening." ”

"Isn't the personal computer you make a product that makes people fascinated? Isn't that contrary to the philosophy you admire? "Clever Jennifer? Egan immediately retorted.

The paradoxical Jobston was speechless, but fortunately, the movie began, allowing him to avoid further embarrassment.

……

Compared with the previous Hong Kong films that operated in American theaters, the commercial value of "Protecting Flowers" is obviously more optimistic, so it easily got more theaters.

The reality did not disappoint the merchants, and "Protecting the Flowers" became the No. 1 grossing box office in North America in the first week after its release on Valentine's Day, grossing more than $8.5 million, and it already has the atmosphere of a mainstream blockbuster, not a cult movie.

Patiently with Jennifer? After Egan finished watching the hugely popular movie. Jobs said sourly, "Boring." What are the three copper coins? It's a mess. ”

"I feel good, especially when the male and female protagonists play each other's roles, they are very tacit, full of emotion, and the music is also very good." Very assertive Jennifer? Egan expressed a different opinion, "Tharesa Deng, who plays the heroine, can actually sing in so many languages. What a talent. ”

Speaking of which, Jennifer? Egan looked at Jobs and asked curiously, "Aren't you friends with Don, who plays the male lead, so do you know what his relationship with Teresa Deng is?" ”

"I'm not interested in this gossip." Jobs replied in a stiff tone.

……

I have to say, Jennifer? Igan's performance as a spectator is very representative. The vast majority of audiences in North America walked into the theater with curiosity and chose to watch "Protecting Flowers", but they were soon attracted by the movie itself and Deng Lijun's musical performance.

As for the film reviews. Also like Jennifer? Egan and Steve Jobs both looked and felt the same way, for different reasons. The polarization is evident – the appreciators are unrelenting in their praise and the critics are mean and almost vicious.

For example, American film critic, script writer, and Pulitzer Prize-winning Roger Brown. Ebert, in his own comment, praised: "Protecting Flowers" is a very wonderful oriental romantic love movie, the hero and heroine interact with each other, amazing tacit understanding, successfully pass on the sweet warmth of the process of meeting, acquaintance, and love to the audience, showing a unique charming temperament.

Michael of Rolling Stone magazine. Slago, on the other hand, focused on the soundtrack of "Protecting Flowers":

The year before last, in order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, Teresa Deng once released a song "MyHeartWillGoOn" and topped the Billboard charts, and her singing voice was remembered by countless people at that time.

After a lapse of two years, Teresa Deng has fully demonstrated her musical talent in the form of a movie, and it is likely that it will once again blow a wave of oriental art in the United States.

On the opposite side, the most insidious critics unceremoniously point out that this is just a cliché romance movie, nothing more than a gimmick with the world's richest man as the leading actor.

As for the music in "Protecting Flowers", it is full of the unique sharp and thin singing style of oriental women, and the sound is simply irritating to the eardrums.

As long as the audience's curiosity passes, "Protecting Flowers" will be knocked into the dust and worthless.

In the midst of the quarrel, the follow-up box office performance of "Protecting Flowers" shocked both appreciators and critics.

Its second and third weeks of box office, although down from the first week, still occupy the top spot at the North American box office, reaching $6.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

In the end, with an investment of $9.2 million, "Protecting Flowers" grossed more than $80 million in North America, which can be said to have created a history of Chinese films.

Soon, Deng Lijun's records were also released in North America. Several English interludes that appeared in the movie - "IWillAlwaysLoveYou", "RuntoYou", and "IHaveNothing" - have appeared on the billboard.

Deng Lijun's popularity has risen so quickly in North America, let alone Japan, which has been in the country for many years. In addition to actively promoting the record, PolyGram Japan has also begun to prepare for Deng Lijun's global tour in Tokyo.

It is no exaggeration to say that 1984, as an important node of the 15th anniversary of Deng Lijun's entry into the music scene, had a perfect start.

The sensational effect of "Protecting Flowers" naturally spread to Treasure Island, and those who traveled to Xiangjiang during the Lunar New Year and watched the movie came back and directly expressed positive comments.

We enjoyed the full version of "Protecting Flowers" in Xiangjiang, and in 150 minutes, there was no footage of children as stated by the electrical inspection department.

In the movie, the hero and heroine do behave intimately, but they are all within the normal range. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Deng Tang and the two are so affectionate in reality, they can't care about it! I just suspect that some people in the electrical inspection department are eating dry vinegar.

Under the pressure of all kinds of laughter and scolding, in March, "Protecting Flowers" was finally released on Treasure Island without cutting it.

……

Some simple old sayings have always been confirmed by facts again and again, such as "there are many people who are popular".

Tang Huan participated in "Protecting Flowers". The main purpose is to help Deng Lijun's career go more smoothly on the road of internationalization. At the same time, it can also drive the popularity of its own DreamWorks Hong Kong films in the American market.

But also because of this. has made Tang Huan the center of public opinion, not to mention that he himself has too many factors to attract attention.

For example, the take-off of the personal computer industry has made the stock price of Fangyuan Computer Company continue to rise, driving Tang Huan's net worth to the level of 20 billion US dollars.

In another example, Tang Huan's Major League Football League team, the Oakland Raiders, won the Super Bowl for the second time this year since it was acquired. He, the owner of the team, has once again become an urban hero in the San Francisco Bay Area.

As for Tang Huan, Ted. Turner was beaten home by Murdoch at the Australian regatta, and the American media talked about it even more than jealousy.

For another example, Tang Huan's Hollywood company United States launched the low-budget movie "Mother and Daughter Love" last year, with an investment of only $8 million, but the box office exceeded $100 million, and became a hot spot for the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars.

All kinds of successes followed, in addition to making Tang Huan more and more an idol and a goal to strive for, there was also a tendency to be demonized.

Like recently. I don't know where a small news came out of nowhere, saying that Tang Huan was going to join the political arena. I ran for the House of Representatives. Even more good deeds, for this reason, serious 800 polls were conducted in California.

As a result, more than 20 percent of the people clearly expressed their support for Tang Huan, and another 30 percent were willing to seriously consider it at that time.

In addition, among young respondents, the proportion of support for Tang Huan is higher, and among Chinese Americans, the support rate is more than 90%.

Judging from these data alone, Tang Huan really has a good foundation for politics. Although he was not in the United States at this time, there were already many people who were idle and began to help analyze.

After all, 1984 was the year of the election in the United States, and all kinds of unbelievable things could happen.

However, Tang Huan's personal assistant Tang Wenmao made it clear: Tang Huan has no plans to enter politics at all, these sudden news are simply inexplicable, and I don't know what ulterior motives are hidden in them, can the rumors be more professional?

As soon as Tang Wenmao's words ended, NBC's Los Angeles TV broadcast a video of an interview, in which a man named Mark vowed that he knew the situation of the Tang family in San Francisco very well, and that Tang Huan concealed his age when he first entered the United States. On that basis alone, he is not eligible to run for any congressional representative.

In addition, for the recently released movie "Protecting Flowers", in which the male and female leads, Tang Huan and Deng Lijun, their relationship in reality, Mark also claims to know everything about it.

Although it is frying cold rice, it is undeniable that this revelation does have enough weight. NBC is willing to play it all at once, so it came up with a trick of "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown".

But this report suddenly angered Tang Wenmao, and he personally came to Los Angeles to hold a press conference, solemnly pointing out: Mark used to be a villain who swaggered and deceived in the name of a member of the Tang family, and was sentenced to prison by the court, and he didn't know how to release him early. His remarks about Tang Huan are completely implausible, and if NBC encourages this kind of rumor and slander to spread, then wait for the lawyer's letter.

Seeing Tang Wenmao speaking so violently, NBC was instigated at the time, it can't be compared with the New York Post, which is famous for its sensationalism and gossip in its reporting style, this media is not afraid of bad reputation, and it is still fighting with Tang Huan's team of lawyers.

As soon as NBC pulled down the interview with Mark, the New York Post released another interview with Mark, which contained secrets that Mark learned as the ex-boyfriend of the Tang family's daughter.

Mark, a fraudster, is indeed not qualified to be trusted, but he told the matter so well that the onlookers couldn't help but believe it.

In the end, the "New York Post" even released a trump card, pointing out that there is definite evidence that both the FBI and the CIA have the truth about this matter, and if they do not make it public, then it will start its own investigation from the US Consulate General in Hong Kong.

Seeing that the "New York Post" was biting hard, Tang Wenmao understood at that time that Tang Huan had offended someone, and the other party was deliberately looking for an opportunity to retaliate.

Tang Wenmao was really at a loss for the situation that had suddenly become complicated in front of him, so while reporting the situation in the United States to Tang Huan, he sent someone to investigate, why did Mark, a scum, get out of prison ahead of schedule?

……

Looking at the newspaper's praise for "Protecting Flowers", Guan Zhilin asked with envy: "Sister Meng, I also want to star in a movie like this with Brother Huan, do you say it's okay?" ”

"It's okay to dream, but it's not okay to be realistic." Hu Yinmeng lay lazily on the sofa, gently touching his lower abdomen while unceremoniously hitting the other party.

"Why?" Guan Zhilin pursed her lips and asked unconvinced.

"Because Deng Lijun's status is different, and now only her career has the ability to take the international route, it is worth Ah Huan to help in person." Hu Yinmeng replied patiently.

"I'm red now, right?" Guan Zhilin looked at Hu Yinmeng for verification.

"Probably so." Hu Yinmeng was amused and laughed.

"What do you mean by maybe counting?" Guan Zhilin's face suddenly turned red, "When I act in two more movies of "Huang Feihong", Aunt Thirteen will become my representative role. ”

"Then you should concentrate on playing the second part of "Huang Feihong" "Men should be self-reliant", why do you want to go to the crew of "The Frog Prince" to join in the fun and play a villain? Don't you know how difficult it is to maintain a female artist's screen image? Hu Yinmeng glanced at Guan Zhilin and scolded unhappily.

"It's just a cameo, and it's also a practice of acting." Guan Zhilin muttered weakly.

"Ah Huan is extremely smart, you can be coquettish, but it's best not to create unnecessary trouble, he can see it at a glance." Hu Yinmeng said leisurely, "Let's just climb the vine on the tree of Ah Huan, happily absorb nutrients, let ourselves live a more nourishing life, and don't do stupid things that are easy to annoy." ”

Hu Yinmeng taught earnestly: "Don't look at Weng Jingjing is younger than you, but she understands better than you, while going to school, she adds value to herself, I feel that acting is boring, and I went to get a traffic radio station, which can be said to be deeply liked by Ah Huan." Don't you understand, Ah Huan likes well-behaved, sensible and hard-working girls. So, don't overcomplicate yourself and end up being easily taken by someone else. ”

"I just heard that Brother Huan specially arranged for Zhong Chuhong to give a movie called "Autumn Fairy Tale" to impact the awards, so I was unconvinced and wanted to compete with her." Guan Zhilin confessed honestly and dejectedly.

"Okay, since you didn't cause trouble, forget it." Hu Yinmeng waved his hand lazily, "Ah Huan is coming back from Siam, this business trip is very hard, you little girls don't have to annoy him." (To be continued.) )
