498 [Hong Kong New Immigrants Family]
On May 20, a family of four who had immigrated to Hong Kong from the mainland stepped off the train, a man and a woman, two teenage children, looking at everything around them with novelty.
"Lao Luo is over there!" Wang Fumei, a famous painter in Suzhou, had sharp eyes and saw at a glance the paper signs held up by their friends who greeted them outside.
Liu Guiming carried a suitcase and a piece of luggage in his hand, and said to his daughter Carina Lau and son Carina Lau: "You guys follow closely, don't get lost." ”
"Oh." Fifteen-year-old Carina Lau combed two rustic pigtails, took her brother's hand, and followed closely behind her parents.
When the family walked out of the platform, the friend named Lao Luo saw them, waved his hand and shouted: "Ah Ming, here, here!" ”
Liu Guiming walked over with his wife and children, and Lao Luo rushed to help him carry his luggage. Liu Guiming couldn't fight, so he had to ask Lao Luo to help his wife carry something, and said to his daughter: "Jialing, Jiayong, ask Uncle Luo quickly." ”
"Hello Uncle Luo!" The siblings said in unison, but their eyes were all looking outside the train station.
Lao Luo touched Liu Jiayong's head and smiled: "I haven't seen you for eleven or twelve years, Ah Yong was not full moon when I left, and he grew so tall." Ah Ling is too, she has grown into a big girl, and she is as beautiful as her younger siblings. ”
Wang Fumei smiled very generously, took her son's hand and followed Lao Luo out of the station.
Lao Luo called a taxi, and all the unfinished luggage in the trunk was stuffed into the car. The five people carried some luggage, which made the car look very crowded, and Lao Luo promised to add money to the driver before starting the car.
Carina Lau had only taken the bus before, and although her body was squeezed against the door by her younger brother, she was still very excited to look at everything bustling outside the window. It's late in the evening, the lights of the shops on the street are on, and the flickering neon lights make Carina Lau feel like she is in a fairy tale world.
"It's beautiful!" His younger brother Liu Jiayong looked at the tall office building and exclaimed, "Mom, the buildings here are so high, they are taller than our tallest buildings in Suzhou." ”
Not only the children, but also Liu Guiming and Wang Fumei, husband and wife, were also shocked by the prosperity of Hong Kong, thinking: capitalist society is not useless.
More than ten minutes later, Carina Lau's family finally arrived at a friend's residence.
Liu Guiming carried his luggage upstairs and casually asked Lao Luo: "Jianmin, what is the price of this house in Hong Kong?" ”
"You want to buy a house?" Lao Luo said, "Look at which lot." The house that your family can live in is generally tens of thousands of yuan, and the better ones are tens or millions. ”
"Tens of thousands?" Liu Guiming was taken aback, and asked again, "Is it Hong Kong dollars?" ”
"Hong Kong dollars, of course." Old Luo Dao.
"That's better." Liu Guiming breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar was 1.5:1, and the RMB was much more valuable than the Hong Kong dollar.
Lao Luo said: "You just came to Hong Kong, what do you want to buy a house?" Let's rent it for a few years, you see I've been in Hong Kong for more than ten years, and I haven't rented a house yet. ”
Liu Guiming nodded, he mainly felt that the house he lived in was not his own, and he felt insecure.
After moving all his luggage into the house, Liu Guiming's rented house became a little narrow, he patted the dust on his hands and said, "I will negotiate it for you on the owner's side, and you can go over to see the house tomorrow and rent it if you think it is suitable." ”
The furnishings in Lao Luo's house can be said to be very simple, but in the eyes of Carina Lau's sisters and brothers, refrigerators, radios, and televisions ...... Everything is something legendary.
Lao Luo saw that his sister and brother were glancing at the TV, so he walked over and turned on the TV, and the screen was playing Jiashi's children's program - "Saint Seiya", which had been broadcast intermittently for two years.
Lao Luo was going to cook, and Liu Guiming and his wife were naturally embarrassed to sit down, so they hurriedly ran to the kitchen to help. In the living room, only Carina Lau's sister and brother were left, staring at the TV with wide eyes, refusing to blink their eyes, for fear of missing something good. …,
It's a pity that after only a few minutes of watching, the cartoon is already over, and then one ad after another.
Even if it was an advertisement, Carina Lau's sister and brother also watched it seriously.
After watching it for a while, Carina Lau's freshness of advertising finally faded, and she set her eyes on the tape recorder on the coffee table and the more than ten cassette tapes on the lower layer of the coffee table.
Carina Lau is very familiar with the tape recorder, when she participated in the activities of the Children's Palace last year, she was taken by the teachers there and entered the Suzhou Children's Palace Repertory Troupe and performed many revolutionary model plays. In addition to acting, the teacher also sang revolutionary songs to them on a tape recorder.
Carina Lau is smart and smart, and she is also beautiful, and she is very liked by teachers. One day, when Carina Lau went to the teacher's house to get the performance script, the teacher played a few songs for her and asked her not to tell others.
Among those songs, Carina Lau's favorite ones are "Childhood" and "The Moon Represents My Heart". Carina Lau, who has only heard revolutionary songs, is like hearing fairy music when she listens to these songs. Oh my God, it turns out that the song can still be sung like this!
It's a pity that Carina Lau still doesn't know who the singer is, because the packaging and cover of the tape were all deliberately torn by the teacher.
Carefully pulling those tapes from under the coffee table, Carina Lau tries to find "Childhood" and "The Moon Represents My Heart." It's a pity to rummag through it, but I found nothing.
"Eat, eat!" It didn't take long for the meal to be served. Lao Luo said a little embarrassed, "It's a little late today, there are only a few dishes, I'll invite you to have a good meal another day." ”
Carina Lau and Carina Lau looked at the dishes on the table, and their eyes lit up. Liu Guiminglian said: "There is meat and soup, and the meat and vegetables are complete, and it is already very rich. ”
Lao Luo ran to get a bottle of wine and came out, shook the wall clock on the wall, and suddenly said: "Oh, the wireless station's "Chu Liuxiang's New Biography" is going to be broadcast tonight." ”
Seeing that it was a good TV now, Lao Luo put the wine on the table and was about to run to change the table.
"What is "Chu Liuxiang's New Biography"?" Liu Guiming asked.
Lao Luo said: "TV series. ”
"It's just a movie on TV." Wang Fumei said. There were TV dramas in the fifties and sixties in the mainland, but ordinary people couldn't see it at all, and they didn't have much impression of this thing.
Lao Luo walked to the TV, and just reached for the knob of the TV to change the channel, the picture on the screen changed, and a voice suddenly sounded: "Welcome to Kyoto Nian Ci'an Theater, the large-scale martial arts TV series "The Legend of Xiang Shuai"!" ”
Lao Luo has become a fan of Chu Liuxiang and Zheng Shaoqiu since he broadcast "Chu Liuxiang" on the radio station, and he didn't even have the energy to work in the days after "Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast, so he was waiting to watch the sequel.
Somehow, as soon as he heard that Wang Zijun's "The Legend of Xiangshuai" was about to be broadcast, Lao Luo suddenly stopped his movements and prepared to take a look at Wang Zijun's Chu Liuxiang first.
"It is destined to fight with the sky all its life, and it is destined to be false and true all its life. Successful door, who wins and loses? I can't escape fame and fortune...... Where is my home? The north and south of the river are not afraid of anything......"
In the opening song of Chinese, Wang Zijun, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, appears at the beginning of the film, and then one character after another keeps appearing, and at the same time shows the names of the actors and the roles they play on the TV screen.
"Wang Zijun is Wang Zijun!" After only watching half of the title, Lao Luo has no intention of changing the channel. Only the characters and fighting scenes that appeared in the opening film threw off the "Chu Liuxiang" that was filmed in eight days by the wireless station.
Looking at Carina Lau's family again, they have been completely attracted by TV, how have they ever seen such a thing?
When the film of Wang Zijun and Sikong picking stars fighting on the water appeared, eleven or twelve-year-old Liu Jiayong's mouth opened wide and asked, "Dad, is that a fairy?" ”
But Carina Lau's thoughts at the moment are that those sisters are so beautiful, what kind of TV series is really good-looking, but it is much better than the model dramas I played before. …,
"Uncle Luo, is this TV series filmed like a movie?" Carina Lau asked suddenly.
Lao Luo said: "Yes, but TV series are longer than movies, there are dozens of episodes, and they are shown on TV every day, so you don't need to go to the cinema." ”
"What about these actors?" Carina Lau asked.
Lao Luo said: "Like Michelle and Wen Xueer just now, most of them are actors from TV stations. Oh, only Wang Zijun and a few of them are not specialized in filming TV series on TV stations. ”
The three-minute opening is finally over, and the feature film has finally begun.
Although the dialogue is in Cantonese, most of Carina Lau's siblings can't understand it, but their eyes are staring at the subtitles below, and they haven't lost interest at all.
"What a big ship!" When Chu Liuxiang's big ship appeared, Lao Luo couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time explained to his friend's family, "I heard from the newspaper that this boat was specially built by Wang Zijun for the filming of the TV series, and it cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars from construction to decoration. ”
Wang Fumei was speechless: "It's really rich. ”
Lao Luo said: "Yes, people are rich." ”
Liu Guiming asked: "Who is Wang Zijun?" Is the director of this TV series? ”
"Oh, that's the one who played Chu Liuxiang. He is both the director and the leading actor of this TV series. Lao Luo pointed to the TV and said.
Liu Guiming said: "It's very good-looking. ”
"That's, I thought that Zheng Shaoqiu's Chu Liuxiang was already very expressive, but I didn't expect Wang Zijun's performance to be more handsome." Lao Luo said with a smile.
Nature can't be compared.
Wang Zijun's Chu Liuxiang, the costumes are carefully designed, and the folding fan that he carries adds to his chic and graceful, which is more consistent with Chu Liuxiang's "fan skills" and "floating fragrance palms" in the novel. Unlike Chu Liuxiang played by Zheng Shaoqiu, the clothes he wears are ordinary, and the fight is even more featureless, you punch me and I slap it like a child's game, and when you go crazy, you push your hand stupidly, shouting "snap your fingers", and let the enemy fall to the ground with a "biu".
An episode of more than 40 minutes was broadcast quickly, and both Lao Luo and Carina Lau's family were still unsatisfied.
Seeing that his friend's family was still staring at the TV, Lao Luo explained: "There is no one today, and the second episode will be released tomorrow night." This Wang Zijun is really, he always hangs his appetite, and it takes an hour for the wireless station to be played, and he is missing ten minutes, and he is all used to put advertisements. ”
Carina Lau's mother Wang Fumei has obviously become obsessed with Wang Zijun and has become Wang Zijun's "mycelium", and asked: "Lao Luo, does that Wang Zijun really know martial arts?" ”
"Yes." "A few years ago, in Kuala Lumpur, he was surrounded by dozens of men with knives and sticks, and he and his men were stunned and knocked the enemy to the ground with their bare hands. This guy is from a gang, and I heard that he is still a double-flower red stick! ”
There were no gangs in the mainland at this time, Liu Guiming was very curious and asked, "But what kind of gang was the Youth Gang before liberation?" ”
"Almost." Lao Luo Koppu said, "The Bamboo Union Gang is now Taiwan. One of the two major gangs in the bay, I heard that the boss of the Bamboo Union Gang is Wang Zijun's eldest brother. ”
"Desk. B's Gang? Wang Zijun is not from Hong Kong? Liu Guiming said in surprise.
Lao Luo said: "Of course it's Taiwan. b. Wang Zijun, this kid, was in a gang before he was eighteen years old, and once he was seriously injured and suddenly changed his ways. first sang, then worked as an actor to make movies, and then set up his own film company as a boss and director, and in recent years, he has become very popular in the United States. Guess how much that movie he made in the U.S. last year sold at the box office? ”
"How much?" Liu Guiming answered very cooperatively.
"400 million, still dollars!" Old Robby took out four fingers.
"Four...... Hundred million! Liu Guiming's throat was choked with saliva.
Wang Fumei asked, "Then how much does he get?" ”
"How much?" Lao Luo smiled, "Someone calculated the account for him, saying that he was worth at least 500 million US dollars." But I don't think so, he is about to build a building in Taipei, and it will cost more than one billion Hong Kong dollars to repair this building alone. But I admire him for this, he is self-made, he makes money with his own skills, he is only 26 years old this year, and he earns enough money to spend several lifetimes. Like the TV station that showed the TV series just now, it is his, like which star is popular, a matter of one sentence. ”…,
"This TV station is also his?" Wang Fumei can't imagine that a Hong Kong TV station is actually a station. b. Young people's industry.
"Of course it's his." Lao Luo said, "Don't think that you can be rich. At the beginning, this TV station had six major shareholders, such as Jardine Matheson, which was much richer than Wang Zijun, but it lost money year after year. The ratings of educational programs are low, and those people have thought of a lot of ways, but they have spent a lot of money but have no effect at all, and seeing that the TV station is about to go out of business, they are all clamoring to withdraw their funds. But at this time, Wang Zijun stood up and said, which of you want to withdraw your investment? How much shares I pay for! At that time, everyone else was waiting to see his jokes, saying that he would definitely lose all the money he invested in less than half a year. But the result? ”
"How did it turn out?" Carina Lau listened attentively, and involuntarily asked out loud when Lao Luo paused.
Lao Luo said with a smile: "As a result, after Wang Zijun took over Jiayi TV, what those people didn't do in a year or two, he did it in a month or two." Jiashi is in his hands, and he directly comes back to life, on an equal footing with the other two TV stations in Hong Kong, and is getting stronger and stronger! ”
"That's amazing!" Carina Lau whispered, recalling Wang Zijun's chic appearance in the TV series, she felt that such a person is simply only in legends.
Until this time, Carina Lau didn't know that Wang Zijun was the singer who sang the song "Childhood".
――――
I've been annoyed to death these days, and I've been forced to go on a blind date by my family.
In other words, is there anything more boring than a blind date?
