Volume 1 Zhuang Zhou Mengdie Chapter 316 She is like a tree
Tang Jingyun didn't expect that her first meeting with the legendary Sir Shao would be such a scene
An old man sits in the garden, a white marble pavilion with a pointed roof, surrounded by a white fence, full of strong European style. The tall trees hide the sunlight, with occasional sporadic spots of light falling to the ground. The moon flowers are planted all around, and they bloom beautifully.
But no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they are not as attractive as the old man sitting in the pavilion.
The old man already had obvious age spots on his face, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all traces of time crawling, and he was wearing a loose Tang costume. He was half-lying on the chaise longue, his eyes squinted, and he was not sleeping.
Seeing that someone was coming, the attendants behind Sir Shao whispered, and the old man opened his eyes and looked at the person.
Tang Jingyun saluted respectfully to Sir Shao, bent over, restrained her pride and coldness on weekdays, and looked extremely restrained and calm.
"Little girl, do you want to see me?" Sir Shao looked at the young girl in front of him and asked in Cantonese. The attendant behind him translated a sentence for him.
Tang Jingyun stood there and was generous, not at all restrained, and responded with a smile, "Yes, Sir Shao, my name is Tang Jingyun, I am from the mainland, and I am a newcomer." β
"I don't think the little girl is a newcomer, otherwise how would she find my old man?" Sir Shao smiled, although his words were flat, but because of the person who spoke, it seemed to be full of weight.
Tang Jingyun squinted and smiled, her phoenix eyes raised, looking very beautiful, "Probably because I'm young and you're old, after all, you also know that young people are always full of energy." β
"Hehe, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." Sir Shao said lightly with half-closed eyes, and he couldn't hear any emotion in his tone, but it made the people behind him feel a kind of pressure, "You little girl is very arrogant, I can't see it." β
Tang Jingyun was not affected by this pressure, she still smiled faintly, bowed slightly, and received this "praise" for life.
Sir Shao smiled when he saw this, stroked his palm and smiled, "Sure enough, he is a young man with courage, but unfortunately he is not a man, otherwise it is excellent to have a glass of wine when he is bored." β
Sir Shao has a thin relationship with children in his life, his son and daughter have long lived in Singapore, and he and his second wife have lived in Hong Kong for a long time.
There is a good saying, walk through the prosperity, glory plus body, fame and fortune are crowns, power is the staff, who knows the loneliness behind me? Behind every celebrity, there is always a little pain that cannot be mentioned, and it hurts to touch it.
Tang Jingyun didn't want to say anything more to this legendary old man, but just smiled slightly, "I have long known that Sir Shao has blown the breeze, drunk spirits, and loved beauties, so he still has no less temperament." β
"Haha......" This is the first time Sir Shao laughed since the two talked, he seemed to be in a good mood, and beckoned to Tang Jingyun, "Little girl meets my appetite, come and sit, today there is a breeze, tea instead of wine, and there are beauties, it is really a good day." β
Tang Jingyun pursed her lips and smiled, "Beauties can't be deserved, those brought out by the Shaw brothers are the real beauties." β
Tang Jingyun's words are not a joke, of course, the Shaw Brothers movies are very popular, shooting more than 1,000 movies, and almost monopolizing most of the film industry in Hong Kong in the long years. There are beauties with their own merits, and Sir Shao has definitely seen a lot of them.
Sir Shao smiled, "It's old, it's not as good as when you were young." β
The two had a pleasant conversation, from the old-fashioned movies to the VCD later, and then to the new round of storm reform brought about by television, as well as the emerging IT industry in Silicon Valley in the United States.
ββ¦β¦ This is not the times, there is a forward-looking person in the mainland, who specially invited a lot of reporters when he was young, and spent more than an hour just to cover up how to connect to the Internet. At that time, there were almost no people in the mainland. But just a year later, computers have been known by many people, and chat rooms have become popular. β
Speaking of this, Tang Jingyun paused, and seeing that Sir Shao was listening seriously, her eyes flashed, and she continued to preach.
"The evolution of the times has its laws, from slow to rapid, from single to complex, I can boldly assert that the high-tech industry will lead the trend in the future, and the IT industry is actually the leader."
"So little girl, what do you want to explain?" Sir Shao asked with a smile.
"I just want to ask Sir Shao a sentence, there are many classic Shaw Brothers movies, including "Liang Zhu" and "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms", you refused to burn them into VCD, I don't know why, but are you really willing to let Shaw Brothers movies be sealed in the ZΓI warehouse?"
There are countless classic movies in Shaw Brothers films, including the time when the four famous directors were resident in the film city, they created film genres such as Huangmei Tune and Martial Arts School, and the glory was extremely prosperous.
Tang Jingyun studied this Shaw in later generations, and she felt that this old man actually had a special emotion for movies, but after the Shaw brothers stopped producing films, Shaw was like a stingy Grande, and he no longer wanted the world to see these films.
In recent years, the domestic film industry has begun to develop, but very few people know about the Shaw Brothers.
"Oh? What about willingness? What if you are unwilling? Shaw's eyelids lifted, and the look in his eyes was indiscerning.
Tang Jingyun stood up, bent down towards the old man, and smiled, "Don't hide it from Sir Shao, I happened to have a website outside, and now I'm doing portal and chat software, our platform needs a batch of excellent movies to attract clicks, relatively speaking, Shaw Brothers movies will also be recognized by more people." β
Run Run Shaw narrowed his eyes, he took a sip of the tea in his hand, "Little girl, what's the name of your company?" β
"Xunfei."
"Xunfei? It's a familiar name......" Sir Shao frowned, and then suddenly asked, "You made the flying pigeon?" β
Tang Jingyun was surprised, she didn't expect this old man to know about flying pigeons, so she nodded with a smile, "Yes, but I am a capital injector on Xunfei, well, in fact, I didn't say it just now, I am still an angel investor." β
Run Run Shaw's gaze looked at Tang Jingyun, obviously a little more appreciative, "Young man, he really has sharp energy, and he is not much better than the people of our era." Unlike those squeamish dolls now, they can't do without their parents when they become adults. β
Tang Jingyun, who is such a young man, reminded Run Run Shaw of his own era, when there were frequent wars, and in the end, it was for the young children to mature early.
"I have a junior, originally studying abroad and did not plan to come back, but this year suddenly received a call, this kid shouted to return to China, only to know when asked, it turned out to be a software called flying pigeon."
Run Run Shaw said, his voice was a little complicated, and he looked at Tang Jingyun, "You, very good!" β
Tang Jingyun bowed slightly, but this time she didn't accept such a compliment, she just pursed her lips and smiled, "Compared to you, it's a big deal." I'm just doing something on top of making money, after all, I'm a businessman. β
"Well said! After all, he is just a businessman, and he is talking business. Shaw smiled, clearly agreeing with her.
The Shaw Brothers followed a purely "commercial production" approach. In Shaw's whole set of business philosophy with Chinese characteristics, the theory of "audience first" is its central content.
He understands the psychology of the general public audience, as well as the viewing habits and interests, and he reviews the story scripts provided by the choreographer and director to determine whether they have a box office, so the "Shaw Brothers" are accurate in the selection of materials to the love and interest of the public audience, and choose themes that are popular and entertaining.
This is the first "commercial film" to be born, but Shaw Brothers' films are not just commercial films, otherwise they would not be regarded as classics.
Tang Jingyun's eyes flashed with a little melancholy and regret.
Sir Shao looked at the woman in front of him, Zhilan Yushu, the breeze was clear, and the demeanor was thousands. She made him feel that she was a tree, tall and handsome, and he seemed to be able to see the moment when she grew into a towering tree.
"Sir Shao, what do you think of my Tiyì?" Tang Jingyun raised her eyebrows at Sir Shao and smiled, her smile was open.
"Okay, since we're talking about business, let's talk about the price." Sir Shao didn't say anything more, and smiled faintly at Tang Jingyun, "Let me see your sincerity, little girl." β
Tang Jingyun pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that she had finally impressed this powerful old man, a little joy rose in her heart, and she sat down to discuss the problem of cooperation with this Sir Shao.
Sir Shao feels that he hasn't seen such a faceless little girl for a long time, isn't it tens of millions of money? As for being so calculating? Who's this little girl?! Bring Sir Ben home!!
Tang Jingyun said that she also blew up, how old are you, this money is not brought to life and death, why do you have to calculate with my junior like this? You're so thick-skinned!! I sue you, don't bully me because you're old!!
So, after a heated debate, the attendant who acted as an interpreter had long since been abandoned by the two men.
He was a little dumbfounded, feeling that one of these two people can understand Cantonese if he speaks Mandarin, and the other can understand Mandarin when he speaks Cantonese! In that case, why did you need him to translate just now? Did you know that translation is actually very tiring?
When the two finally reached a common plan, they both looked at each other and laughed.
Sir Shao saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately asked Tang Jingyun to stay for dinner, and Tang Jingyun also stayed and had a good drink with the old man.
After the meal, Tang Jingyun left, and Sir Shao looked at the back of Tang Jingyun leaving, silently, as if he missed those times in the past.
The wind blows the wine and cools it slightly, and I hope that the memories of the past will find a home.
