404 [God of Gamblers Premiere]

(Don't complain about the time of the Tangshan earthquake, Lao Wang wrote it from memory when he wrote it, and he didn't verify it, and it seems that the specific date of its occurrence was written a little late.) I'm sorry! )

With the release of a handful of photos and videos about the Tangshan earthquake, the huge destructive power and the terrifying number of casualties have brought people a huge shock.

Since there is no one to organize donations, ordinary citizens do not know where to send their money even if they want to. A few wealthy people with a conscience secretly donated their money through their own channels, doing their part of their financial and mental strength.

Liang Weilin, as the CCP's propaganda officer in Hong Kong, received the most donations in his hands. However, except for Wang Zijun, the most donated by others was 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

If it were to be replaced in a few decades, I am afraid that most of these shady donations would be swallowed up by the recipients, but there is no such worry at all now.

Liang Weilin is a 40-year veteran party member, and he still has this political consciousness. After contacting the above, special personnel immediately came to Hong Kong to receive donations, and some of the money was directly exchanged for important materials in Hong Kong and Macao and shipped back.

At this time, there were no charities on the mainland, and all donations were allocated by the government, and they had the final say on which funds were used for disaster relief. While this situation will result in many donations not being used for disaster relief, they will not go into private pockets like the Black Cross, but will be used in other places where it is urgently needed.

The effects of the Tangshan earthquake have not yet completely dissipated, and an even more shocking news has come again - Mao Taizu has passed away.

When this news broke, not only Hong Kong's leftist newspapers carried out overwhelming reports to remember the great leader. Even the right-wing newspapers are not idle, but they are not so respectful between the lines.

In addition, Hong Kong's only three television stations and radio stations have also sent people to get in touch with Liang Weilin, or they have directly obtained detailed information from some news agencies based in the mainland.

The ideological and political group tendencies of Hong Kongers are complex, and most people continue to go to work as usual. Some people also organized to mourn, and some groups even marched in the streets to weep.

on the side of the street. In some shops that sell televisions, there is often a large circle of people around the TV to watch the news of Taizu's death. Most of them had no political awareness, but they were absolutely shocked by the images of millions of people crying collectively from the mainland.

It's so spectacular, when Chiang Kai-shek died last year, it was only a million people to see him off, which is simply not a climate compared to this.

Some leftist media began to report on Taizu's life and great deeds, and right-wing media vied with each other to fully account for Taizu's faults. The intermediate media wandered on both sides, wavering for the sake of sales, often tending to hunt for curiosities, and even some unreliable palace and wild histories were reported. And those literary journals also lost no time in publishing Taizu's poems.

Liang Weilin was originally impressed by Wang Zijun, and was ready to study and contact him to see if he could "united front" him. But now he has already thrown Wang Zijun aside. Instead, he opened a group of horsepower to make public opinion for Taizu's death and the next actions of old friends on the mainland.

If the action goes well. Liang Weilin will return to the mainland from Hong Kong next year and go to Guangdong Province to become chairman of the Revolutionary Committee and vice governor, which is also a promise made to him by that side. This is real power, 10,000 times stronger than being the bureau chief of the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong.

The news of Taizu's death completely overwhelmed the impact of the Tangshan earthquake, and more than 200,000 people died in Tangshan, which was less shocking than the death of one person. The battle between the various media in Hong Kong is even more fierce than last year's Chiang Gong time.

Some political commentators. They also jumped out one after another to predict the political trend of the mainland and how cross-strait relations would develop.

There are also metaphysicians who take out Li Chunfeng's "Tui Bei Tu" in the Tang Dynasty, saying that the forty-second elephant woman in "Tui Bei Tu" is about to pass, and in the proverbs, "Beauty comes from the west, and the Celestial Empire is getting more and more peaceful." The longbow is on the ground, dangerous but not dangerous" is about to end. As soon as Taizu dies, Jiang Qing may be finished, and the mainland is about to stabilize. And the forty-third elephant, that is, the situation that China is about to usher in, has attracted many metaphysical people to focus on discussion.

Jin Shengsigh of the Qing Dynasty commented on the forty-third elephant and said: "This elephant is suspicious of the former like a woman who has not ended in chaos." When the monarch and the minister go hunting, there is an outstanding person who is determined for it. But it will be thirty years from now. ”

Some people say that the outstanding person mentioned by Jin Shengxi should be Deng Gong, because in the past six months, the mainland has made a lot of achievements because of Deng Gong's comeback. …,

Some people also say that if Deng Gong wants to calm down the chaos, it will take at least 30 years, that is to say, the mainland will be in chaos for another 30 years.

The proverb of the forty-third elephant is, "A king is not a king, and a minister is not a minister." The beginning is difficult, and the end is settled", some people say that the chaos in front of them will be restrained, but some people say that this is the difficulty of "the black rabbit entering the green dragon's den" in the back.

The phrase that the black rabbit entered the green dragon's den means that in the year when the dragon and rabbit intersected, that is to say, in 1976, 1988 or 2000, some people wanted to claim the emperor's restoration, and China would restore the imperial system or dictatorship. According to the current chaos, this year is exactly 1976, and someone on the mainland may take dictatorship.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the rebuttal of many folk researchers of "Tui Bei Tu", saying that the image of this image was an ordinarily dressed official who asked him to raise his hand to hit the richly dressed little nobleman in front of him. The implication of this image is that in 1976, 1988 or 2000, some people in Taiwan want independence, the mainland will send troops to threaten them, and China will be unified in the next 30 years.

In terms of talking about it, anyway, everyone's final conclusion is that China may still be chaotic in the next few decades, but it will be settled by a big man.

In the end, everyone collectively tilted the building and turned the focus of the discussion to the forty-fourth elephant. This image is "China now has a sage, although not a hero, but also Zhou Cheng." Siyi is retranslated as the Son of Heaven, or the Nine Kingdoms Spring", that is, the unification of the Celestial Empire and the image of China's rejuvenation and prosperity. They all sighed, and they didn't know if they would be able to see it alive decades or even hundreds of years later.

crookedly, everyone crooked to the forty-fifth elephant in the back. The image is of two samurai coming from the east with spears, and some people speculate that Japan and Korea are at war with China, while others say that Japan and the United States are at war with China, which means that there will be a second Sino-Japanese war. And quoted Jin Shengsi's evaluation of this image hundreds of years ago: "This image was re-seen in the peaceful world, when it was above the ocean, and since then, it has become more prosperous." ”

Meantime. Proverbs of the forty-fifth elephant: "A guest comes from the west, and ends at the east." Wood fire gold water. Washing away this great shame" is obviously that China will wash away the great shame of losing land a hundred years ago in this war.

Wang Zijun got the newspaper and directly threw aside the debate between the left and right, he was tired of reading these, but he was very interested in the comments of this pile of metaphysicians and feng shui masters.

Seeing these comments, Wang Zijun was shocked in his heart, this sentence "The black rabbit walked into the green dragon's lair". Obviously, it is said that Lee Teng-hui dished out the two-state theory in 2000, and Lee Teng-hui is a rabbit, and "entering the green dragon's den" indicates that this guy wants to establish an independent state in Taiwan. The latter sentence, "I can't say what I want to do," vividly describes Lee Teng-hui's political situation at that time. That picture is even more amazing, a big official dressed in ordinary clothes, isn't it the mainland that was not rich at that time? The little rich people who are richly dressed happen to be economically developed

of Taiwan. And the big officials raised their hands. Will hit but not hit. As a threat, the little rich people are sincerely afraid, dare not resist and cannot dodge, isn't this the truest portrayal of the situation in the Taiwan Strait back then? As for the reunification of the two sides of the strait in the next 30 years, which can be understood as reunification in 2009, 2015 and 2030, Wang Zijun feels that 2030 is more reliable.

This Li Chunfeng, could it be that he traveled to the Tang Dynasty from the future world? Otherwise, how could the prediction be so accurate?

Wang Zijun was curious, and ran to buy a copy of Jin Shengsi's version of "Pushing Back Pictures". It's good not to look at it, but I see the fifty-sixth elephant "The flying person is not a bird, and the diver is not a fish." The war is not in the army, the game of creation", directly worship, this your sister's aircraft and submarines are all out, plus the poem behind the recitation "The sea frontier is full of clouds and smoke." Up to the clouds and down to the spring. The golden mother wood is a fantasy, and the war has not been brought into trouble", which is obviously describing the future world war, and the heavens and the earth will come together.

Wang Zijun stayed in Hong Kong for some time and accompanied Audrey every day. Hepburn and the little princess toured everywhere. When Zhao Yazhi was filming, she also asked her out for dinner. It's also laid-back.

Wang Zijun contacted many people and wanted to buy a hilltop villa, but he couldn't find a seller, so he had to buy another set in the mid-levels to make Audrey. Hepburn lived. They also invited some Filipino maids, confinement ladies and family doctors to take care of their mothers and daughters.

It wasn't until "God of Gamblers" was about to premiere that Wang Zijun returned to Taipei.

On the Taiwan side, the media almost always reported on Mao Taizu's death in some kind of triumphant tone, just as the mainland reported on Chiang Kai-shek's death. Some people also say that it was Jiang Gong's blessing, and there was a spirit in his old man's underground that dragged Taizu to the underworld. In particular, some radical veterans even clamored for the authorities to take this opportunity to lead troops back. …,

……………………………………………………

In the face of the impact of Taizu's death, the release of "God of Gamblers" was also postponed for half a month, and it was not until September 20 that the premiere was held in Taipei and Hong Kong at the same time.

Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards will hold an awards ceremony next month, and now the judges are watching the film, and the shortlist will be announced in a few days. However, Wang Zijun does not expect "God of Gamblers" to win any awards, such as the best picture, which is basically already in

It's set for "Eight Hundred Heroes", this is a well-planned political propaganda film. If it weren't for the fact that Wang's war film was well made, and with the help of the third prince Jiang, this film would not have been shot by Wang's film at all.

Audrey. Hepburn was interested in attending the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, and Wang Zijun made a private phone call to Ding Mao to explain the situation. This is also a friendly message, which can be regarded as a big gift to Ding Maoshi.

Ding Maoshi was originally a little annoyed that Wang Zijun did not report after the list of banned songs was released. In particular, the outside media commented on Wang Zijun's falling out with the Information Bureau, which made him very depressed. What is Wang Zijun's personal relationship with the third prince Jiang, he has been mixed in the Kuomintang for decades when he was Dingmao, and he is not without a background, are you still afraid of you, a hairy boy?

However, Wang Zijun's current actions make him like it very much, you see that just a few months after he became the director of the Information Bureau, there is an international movie star Audrey. Heben was a guest of the Golden Horse Awards, which is a political achievement that pushes the Golden Horse Awards to internationalization!

After Wang Zijun's phone report, Ding Maoshi didn't say a word, and directly stated that he would personally attend the premiere of Wang Zijun's new film. After hanging up the phone, Ding Maoshi immediately called his secretary and informed the organizing committee of the Golden Horse Awards, saying that he would attend the awards ceremony in person to present the award for the best film. Hepburn was informed of the news of his arrival. Jean Audrey. Hepburn presented the award to the winner of Best Director.

The preparatory team was suddenly busy, and their planning for the award ceremony was basically completed. Now to make temporary changes, there are a lot of relationships that need to be sorted out.

On September 20, the premiere of "God of Gamblers" was held simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

On the Hong Kong side, Hong Kong actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Mi Xue, and Zhong Zhentao participated in the event, while on the Taiwan side, Wang Zijun naturally attended in person.

Taipei Zhongshan Hall, Zhongzheng Hall.

There was a crowd of people, and the few ordinary fans who were lucky enough to get tickets were excited, talking to each other and guessing the content of "God of Gamblers".

"Ashin. I heard that you were on the 'Oriental Princess' last week, what does that look like? ”

"What else could it be? Gambling boats, gambling boats, of course, there is a casino on it. ”

The people sitting near them looked over one after another, and one of them asked enviously, "This brother, have you really been there?" I heard that this time "God of Gamblers" was also filmed on it. ”

"That's still fake." The guy named Ashin said, "This ticket is not good. I bought it from my uncle in Macau. The last batch of free tickets for food and lodging, and then go up later, you will have to pay extra for food and accommodation. ”

"Cut, isn't it just a few food money?" Someone said disdainfully.

"What do you know? No matter how you eat and live on the gambling ship, it will be the same as in the most luxurious hotel, and it will definitely be expensive to death in the future. ”

"No, isn't this equivalent to paying for the house? I've never heard of a boat ride that costs an extra fee. ”

"The ferry ticket is only more than 1,000 Taiwan dollars, can you live in a luxury hotel with that money? Countryman! ”

"Who do you say is the redneck?"

"I'll just say you, look at your dress. It's not us in Taipei. ”

The one who was said to be a countryman was furious, and jumped directly over the back of the seat and rushed over, and immediately the relatives and friends of the two also joined in and fought, until the guards of the Central Hall came to pull it away.

The courtesy and humility of the Taiwanese people in later generations did not become popular until the 90s, and the quality at this time was really not so high.

After the people on both sides separated, they still glared at each other unconvinced. Suddenly, someone shouted: "Wang Zijun is here!" Is the woman next to him Lin Fengjiao? ”

"I can't see clearly, the lights are too dim. But it's a bit like, didn't Lin Fengjiao go to the United States? Someone answered.

"I'll come back after reading the book, now it's okay, I really like her movies."

"Huh. It's Hu Yinmeng over there, and Hu Damei is also here. ”

Lin Qingxia was inconvenient. can only stay at home, Zhao Yazhi is also busy filming. Wang Zijun brought Lin Fengjiao tonight, which can be regarded as building momentum for her comeback. …,

Lin Fengjiao has been diligent in maintaining and shaping her body in the past two years, and her figure and skin are better than before, and she is wearing a well-prepared evening dress, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

is another big beauty, Hu Yinmeng, she doesn't dress very well like Lin Qingxia, unless it is needed for work, she dresses relatively simply at other times. So tonight, I was pressed down by the well-dressed Lin Fengjiao.

After Wang Zijun came, he first greeted some officials of the Information Bureau. There are a lot of these officials today, mainly because Ding Maoshi, director of the Information Bureau, has to come to the scene in person, and those officials below will naturally come to the scene.

Ding Maoshi has not yet arrived at this time, and the officials naturally have to put up some scores, and they can't show up until the last moment.

After Wang Zijun exchanged a few words with those officials, he went to chat with the film critics present, posing in two poses from time to time to facilitate photographers to take pictures.

"Director Ding is here." Wen Qin reminded. As Wang Zijun's secretary, she rarely came out to participate in activities, and this time she came out, which was a precursor to making her a personal assistant, and as for the secretarial affairs of the company, it was another person.

Wang Zijun didn't know what Ding Mao looked like, but as soon as Wen Wenqin reminded him, he saw that when someone came in, there were some people behind him, and those officials who were originally sitting also stood up, and immediately knew who Ding Mao was.

"Oh, Director Ding, rare guests." Wang Zijun took Lin Fengjiao and other film creators to greet him with a smile on his face, holding Ding Maoshi's hand with both hands, "Thank you Director Ding for coming to the premiere of "God of Gamblers" and coming to guide the work!" ”

"It's not about guidance, you're an expert in making movies, I'm an amateur, I'm here to enjoy the film." Ding Maoshi laughed and patted the back of Wang Zijun's hand, "I also want to thank Boss Wang for his contribution to Taiwan's cultural cause!" ”

The reporters and officials next to him were all surprised, didn't they say that Wang Zijun and Ding Mao had a conflict from time to time? Look at the relationship between the two like this, the rumors are really rumors, and they can't be counted.

Ding Mao looked friendly. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with the person behind Wang Zijun, and his posture was sufficient. I went to the front row and sat down.

The host of the premiere was Zhang Xiaoyan and a young male host from China Television Zhang Songren, the two gaged on stage, and joked about Wang Zijun from time to time, which caused a burst of laughter below.

But it didn't take long for Wang Zijun's brows to wrinkle, when Zhang Songren was talking, he didn't strictly follow the set words, and he carried private work. talked about the death of Taizu, and slapped the party-state's sycophants by the way.

Bai Muyang asked these two people to preside over it, because Zhang Xiaoyan ran the train with her mouth full of mouth, and she was afraid that she would say something out of line, so she asked Zhang Songren, a politically competent host, to coordinate and check the gates.

This Zhang Songren's politics is too hard, your sister's commercial film can be related to cross-strait relations!

Wang Zijun's face was a little ugly, but it quickly returned to normal. Very cooperatively led the main creative staff up to do interactive publicity.

After coming down. Wang Zijun sat in his seat and talked and laughed freely, but he had already shot the male host in his heart, and he would not be invited to any activities and programs of Wang's company in the future.

"What's upset?" Lin Fengjiao, who was beside her, asked.

Wang Zijun smiled and said, "How can I be unhappy? ”

Lin Fengjiao said: "Who are you fooling, I can hear it as soon as you speak." ”

"Huh." Wang Zijun quietly shook Lin Fengjiao's hand and gently pinched the back of her hand.

Hu Yinmeng glanced at the corner of his eye, and just saw the hands of the two clasped hands, and suddenly his heart suddenly realized that there was that kind of ambiguous relationship between the two. Unexpectedly, Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia are extremely affectionate on the surface, but they actually raise women behind their backs!

Originally, Hu Yinmeng admired Wang Zijun's talent and character. Especially after reading Wang Zijun's "Birds and Fish" some time ago, I liked it so much that I even longed that I was the hostess of that poem. But now that Wang Zijun and Lin Fengjiao are holding hands, Hu Yinmeng's impression score of Wang Zijun immediately dropped from 100 points to 60 points.

Hu Yinmeng admired that kind of arrogant talent very much, and even married Li Ao, who was not much younger than her father. But at the same time, she is a chivalrous woman who is outspoken, once she is dissatisfied with Wang Zijun, she feels that he is sorry for Lin Qingxia. I can't help but make accusations.

"Director, I heard that the poem "Birds and Fish" was written by you to Miss Lin?" Hu Yinmeng asked suddenly.

Wang Zijun smiled helplessly: "Sort of." ”…,

"I love that poem, the feelings in the poem are unforgettable." Hu Yinmeng said.

Wang Zijun said modestly: "It's just a graffiti work." ”

"Love can't be as casual as graffiti, let alone Qin Duchu, being Chen Shimei is going to be spurned." Hu Yinmeng's tone became heavy unconsciously.

Wang Zijun was stunned. Immediately found that he was still holding Lin Fengjiao's hand, and let go with an embarrassed smile. I thought: This Hu Woman's management is too wide. What does this private matter matter do to you?

Lin Fengjiao was embarrassed, and suddenly couldn't get off the stage, and sat there helplessly.

It's none of his business, Hu Yinmeng is not too much, after reminding Wang Zijun, he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and looked at the big screen in front of him.

Wang Zijun suddenly changed the topic and said, "Miss Hu, the matter we talked about some time ago already has an eyebrow. The name is the Hope Charity Foundation, which mainly provides education for children in poor areas in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also appropriately subsidizes some poor patients and lonely elderly people. If you are interested, you can join in, this program will be launched after the Spring Festival next year. ”

"Really?" When Hu Yinmeng heard this, he immediately forgot what he had just done, "Have you found the person in charge?" ”

"I'm looking for a fight, and you still know that person." Wang Zijun whetted Hu Yinmeng's appetite, which could be regarded as resolving the awkward atmosphere between them just now.

"Who is it?" When Hu Yinmeng heard that she actually knew the person in charge, her curiosity immediately soared.

"You'll know when the time comes. The movie will start soon, so let's watch the movie first. Wang Zijun kept silent and went to watch a movie.

"Stingy!" Hu Yinmeng didn't know that Wang Zijun was taking revenge on what she had just said.

"It's finally begun!" There was a buzz from the fans in the back, and they couldn't wait to see the film.
