Chapter 322: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant
Lin Youlun vaguely remembers that in February this year, Liu Jialing appeared on the cover of "Ming Pao Weekly" once, her hair was a very popular corn perm, and the background was the hustle and bustle of the street.
Liu Jialing pose on the cover photo is very seductive. confused, but was ridiculed as the posture of a woman standing on the street. At this time, Liu Jialing was not as good at wearing clothes as later generations, so she was often ridiculed by newspaper supplements for being tasteless, but this did not prevent her from becoming the focus of news attention.
The reason why she was able to appear on the cover of "Ming Zhou" that time was because she generously admitted her relationship with Xu Jinheng, and she also took out the gifts given to her by the man in front of the media to show her happiness. Such a high-profile gesture will inevitably attract a lot of criticism, but Liu Jialing doesn't care about it, and even bluntly said in the report: "I am a person who has grown up in adversity, and I don't think I will have applause." ”
Sure enough, this love affair, which seemed to be "beyond its own strength" in the eyes of the outside world, ended with the woman being engaged and breaking the contract after less than 3 months, Liu Jialing thought that she was riding a through train and a super class horse, but she didn't want to step on the empty space and became the laughing stock of the whole city.
In other words, if someone else encounters such a thing, they will definitely win a lot of sympathy, but when it comes to Liu Jialing, it is different, because she is still a foreign girl who is looked down upon by Hong Kong people in her bones, because she is high-profile and wants to marry a wealthy son, so the media almost always reports this matter with the mentality of watching the excitement.
Fortunately, she is still the most popular female star in this era, the leading actress of TVB, whether it is the actor's salary or the price list of the rich dinner, she can be firmly in a high position, and the more others want to see her jokes. The more she had to go around to the end.
can't be a wealthy man. turned the most attractive man in Hong Kong into his boyfriend. This is the sharp counterattack she made.
Of course, no matter how many reasons Liu Jialing has, it can't change the fact that she snatched her best friend's boyfriend, Zhou Comin mentioned that Zeng Huanqian used Chinese women, but called Liu Jialing by her name, how could Lin Youlun not hear the difference?
If Lin Youlun was not sitting next to Zhou Yimin but Li Zhi at this time, maybe Liu Jialing's evaluation would be another way, but Lin Youlun would not have consulted other people one by one because of this matter. Whether it is Zeng Huanqian or Liu Jialing, they are insignificant roles in his eyes, perhaps Wang Tianlin and Wei Jiahui are hindered by the people who help the two behind their backs, and it is difficult to make a choice between the two, but Lin Youlun has no such concerns.
The final result is that Liu Jialing's name was crossed off the list, Lin Youlun's reason is very simple, the benefits can't be taken by one person, since Liu Jialing has already harvested Liang Chaowei, Long Jiwen in "The Great Era" should be given to Zeng Huanqian to play.
——
Zhou Yimin especially likes the taste of a Western restaurant on Ashley Road, and Lin Youlun has booked a table in this restaurant for a long time. Every time he and Zhou Comin go on a date, they usually eat here.
The waiter greeted him as usual. Zhou Yimin and Lin Youlun were about to walk inside, when someone next to them suddenly shouted: "Amin? ”
Zhou Comemin turned his head to look and found a man and a woman standing not far away. Both of them wore sunglasses and couldn't see each other clearly, the man was wearing a plaid shirt and the most popular style of jeans at the moment, he was tall, and the woman was wearing the same couple shirt as him.
Zhou Comin didn't have much impression of the man, but the woman who was holding hands with him, Zhou Comin felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
Seeing Zhou Comin's puzzled expression, but not speaking, the woman took the initiative to take off her sunglasses, revealing a plump face, white and red skin, a slightly high nose, and a pair of star-like bright eyes, with a smile on her mouth.
"Ame?" Zhou Comemin shouted in surprise.
"How's my outfit? No one on the street today recognizes me, right? The woman named Ah Mei seemed to be very familiar with Zhou Comin, ran over and took her hand and chatted warmly.
Before Zhou Yimin could speak, Ah Mei's boyfriend suddenly took off his sunglasses and walked over quickly, his expression suddenly became extremely respectful, "Mr. Lin, are you also eating here?" ”
Ah Mei only noticed Lin Youlun standing next to Zhou Yimin at this moment, she originally wanted Zhou Youmin to introduce her, but now there is no need for that, her boyfriend shouted "Mr. Lin", and she immediately guessed Lin Youlun's identity.
After "True Lies", Lin Youlun has never seen Lu Liangwei again, and he didn't expect to meet him here today.
Lu Liangwei originally had the opportunity to impact Hong Kong's first-line male movie stars, but after acting in "True Lies", he had a car accident and lay in the hospital for more than half a year. After his comeback, the fame accumulated by "True Lies" has been almost consumed, and he has acted in several movies of the same type one after another, but they have not caused much repercussions.
Lin Youlun and Lu Liangwei chatted briefly, and then glanced at Ah Mei, who was standing beside Lu Liangwei, intentionally or unintentionally.
"I forgot to introduce to Mr. Lin, this is my wife Zhou Haimei, she is a wireless artist like Miss Zhou." Lu Liangwei put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders and said with a happy face.
"Ah......" Zhou Comemin looked at Zhou Haimei with wide eyes in surprise, "You two are already married?" ”
Zhou Haimei's face turned red and nodded shyly.
Zhou Haimei and Lu Liangwei met because they co-starred in "Island Storm", and when they first met Zhou Haimei, Lu Liangwei was fascinated by this girl with porcelain doll-like skin and delicate facial features. Lu Liangwei took the initiative to attack, in order to win the favor of Zhou Haimei's parents, Lu Liangwei also took the initiative to rush to do housework, and finally won Zhou Haimei's heart. After two years of dating, Lu Liangwei and Zhou Haimei decided to get married, and the two flew to Las Vegas, USA, and married in a small church, but considering that both of them were in the rising period of their careers, they concealed the marriage news from the outside world after discussion.
"You two are really tight-lipped, you can hide such a big thing, no, no, you must invite me to dinner when you go back, otherwise I will reveal the news to the media." Zhou Comin jokingly threatened.
Lu Liangwei really wanted to take this opportunity to treat him, and by the way, he was close to Lin Youlun, but Zhou Haimei secretly twisted it on his arm.
Without waiting for Lu Liangwei to speak, Zhou Haimei rushed to Zhou Comin and said, "No problem, I'll invite you alone another day, and the time and place are all up to you." ”
Lu Liangwei also calmed down at this time, looking at the current situation, Lin Youlun and Zhou Yimin should be dating, if he opened his mouth recklessly just now, it would be self-defeating, and if it attracted Lin Youlun's disgust, it would really be worth the loss.
——
"You have a good relationship with Zhou Haimei?" At the dinner table, Lin Youlun continued to ask about Zhou Haimei's situation.
"I met in the wireless dressing room on the night of Taiwan last year, and because I could talk better, I slowly became good friends later." Zhou Comin felt that Lin Youlun didn't just care about himself when he asked this, but also seemed to mean something else.
"What is your impression of her, I mean acting." Lin Youlun then asked again.
"I think she's a very slow person." Zhou gave Zhou Haimei a strange definition, and then explained: "She knows very well that her best visual effects are static and not dynamic, so it is generally difficult to see her very excited or excited to express her own thoughts, and people who don't really know her will think that she is a little confused." ”
This kind of evaluation is not much different from Lin Youlun's memory. Zhou Haimei ran for Miss Hong Kong in 1985, with her pure and sweet appearance and tall figure, she was a popular candidate in the top 30 semi-finals, but her 18-year-old age and silly sister-style informal performance did not match the noble and generous requirements of Miss Hong Kong, so she missed the finals.
Regarding this matter, there has been another theory circulating in the media, saying that TVB had decided to sign the 18-year-old Zhou Haimei before the game, and in order to avoid being proud of his award, he operated in the dark.
After Zhou Haimei became famous, the Hong Kong media turned over this old incident, which sounds reasonable, but careful scrutiny is untenable.
In 1985, ATV launched Miss Asia, and there was a super topic like Li Zhi participating in the election, and the momentum directly overshadowed Sister Hong Kong in the same period, in this case, Sister Hong Kong is bound to push out the best contestants to compete with Miss Asia, rather than using this shady means to exclude a very potential candidate.
After Sister Hong Kong was defeated, Zhou Haimei entered the wireless artist training class, and the first drama she participated in the filming of the same year was TVB's "Yang Jiajiang", the cast of that drama was unprecedentedly strong, Zhou Haimei, who played Yang Jiumei, was not so conspicuous, and what really made Zhou Haimei embark on the acting runway was the drama "Rogue Tycoon" filmed by her, which became one of the youth girls praised by TVB at that time.
Combined with the impression in his memory, and then in connection with Zhou Comin's evaluation of Zhou Haimei, Lin Youlun had an idea.
"How about letting Zhou Haimei play Ruan Mei?"
This role was originally reserved for Zhou Comin, but now that Lin Youlun asked, Zhou Comin felt so surprised.
"Are you serious?" She asked, hesitantly.
Lin Youlun nodded, "Didn't you say she was your good friend?" Since you don't want to act, you can try it with her. ”
Zhou Yimin also felt very good when he heard it, so he asked Lin Youlun: "Then do you want to go over and tell her now?" ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, I'll talk to her when we meet tomorrow, and then you can take this opportunity to ask her to treat you to another meal." Lin Youlun shook his head and said jokingly.
"No, I'll tell her now, there's no chance for you to regret it." Zhou Comemin playfully stuck out her tongue at Lin Youlun, pushed away the chair and stood up, and walked towards the table where Lu Liangwei and Zhou Haimei were sitting. (To be continued.) )
