Lin Youlun and Chen Hong stayed in the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for two days, and then took the train back to Shang. Sea.

The crew of "Mythology" has not yet set off, so Chen Hong needs to wait a while before going to the west. Ann, and Lin Youlun took the first step to fly to the north. Kyo plane.

Commissioner Liu accompanied Lin Youlun to the north. A deputy director of the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Affairs Office personally greeted him at the airport and held a banquet to entertain him. Both sides are very cautious, so Lin Youlun did not get much useful information from the deputy director of the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Office.

The hotel officially arranged for Lin Youlun this time is still the same one where the Hong Kong business delegation stayed last time, and when he returned to the room, Lin Youlun was about to call Wang Guxian to contact him, but an acquaintance came to the door at this time.

When I saw Yu Ming again after more than a year, the clothes he was wearing were almost exactly the same as last time, but his expression was not as serious as last time.

"Mr. Lin, we meet again."

"Secretary Yu, why are you here?" Lin Youlun felt a little surprised.

Yu Ming laughed, "What, isn't Mr. Lin welcome?" ”

"No, no." Lin Youlun stepped aside and invited Yu Ming into the room.

After Yu Ming sat down, Lin Youlun poured him tea with a cup and said, "The last time Secretary Yu came, I brought a big surprise, I don't know what a good thing is this time?" ”

Yu Ming took the teacup from Lin Youlun's hand, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Lin, I'll come this time." It was just the acting chief asking Mr. Lin a question. ”

"Secretary Yu, excuse me."

Lin Youlun's expression immediately became serious. But Yu Ming waved his hand. "Mr. Lin doesn't need to be so serious, the chief watched "True Lies" last year, and then said that when I have a chance, I want to ask you, is the US military really as powerful as in the movie?"

Lin Youlun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hurry to speak.

Yu Ming saw Lin Youlun's hesitant expression, and asked curiously, "This question should be easy to answer, right?" Why did Mr. Lin look embarrassed? ”

Lin Youlun raised his eyebrows, "Does Secretary Yu want to hear the truth or lie?" ”

This time it was Yu Ming's turn to become cautious, and he glanced at Lin Youlun seriously. And then say, "Of course it's true." ”

"If the U.S. military goes to war with China now, without the intervention of a third country and without the use of nuclear weapons, there is a very high probability that China will lose this war."

Hearing Lin Youlun's words, Yu Ming couldn't help frowning, and was about to refute, but Lin Youlun rushed ahead of him and added: "I know that Secretary Yu definitely disagrees with my point of view, and I only draw conclusions from the military strength of the two countries on the surface, so the victory or defeat of the real situation may not be as I said, but one thing is certain, the conventional weapons that the United States currently has." It is far more advanced than China. ”

Yu Ming agrees with Lin Youlun's point of view in his heart, but he works beside the leader all year round. He had long developed the habit of being cautious in his words and deeds, so after listening to these words, he did not make any statement.

"More than 30 years ago, China and the United States had a confrontation, and that war could only be regarded as a draw from a neutral standpoint, but for China at that time, such a result was a victory, and for the United States, such a result was a defeat. I do not doubt the quality and fighting will of the Chinese soldiers, but now that war can no longer be won by relying solely on people, the role of modern weapons will become more and more obvious, and this can be seen from the European and Pacific theaters of the Second World War. Lin Youlun also cited some historical evidence to try to make his point more convincing.

"Does Mr. Lin have more direct evidence?" Yu Ming only asked one sentence after hearing this.

Lin Youlun shook his head regretfully, if we want to really find evidence for this kind of thing, unless we look for the United States to fight a war, or watch the United States fight a war with others, and the Chinese government will have to wait until the Gulf War three years later if it really realizes that it is far behind the United States in the modernization of its armed forces.

In that war, the United States put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat, displayed overwhelming air and electromagnetic superiority, won the war with very few casualties, and at the same time profoundly changed the pattern of global military strength.

Yu Ming looked at his watch, then stood up and shook hands with Lin Youlun, and said, "Mr. Lin's point of view, I will report to the chief truthfully, and the time is not early, then I won't disturb Mr. Lin to rest!" ”

Lin Youlun sent Yu Ming all the way to the elevator door on the floor, Yu Ming insisted that Lin Youlun stay, and then left by himself by the elevator.

When I returned to the room, I called Wang Guxian, and I knew that she lived in the same hotel as the crew of "Huanzhu Gege", and she had taken Xiaoguang and Hongzai to many places in the past few days, Lin Youlun was much relieved, and was about to hang up the phone, but stopped Wang Guxian.

"Xiaoguang and Hongzai want to talk to you."

The microphone was handed to the two little guys, first Xiaoguang was talking, and then Hongzai also interjected, making a lot of noise.

The two little guys talked for a while, Lin Youlun vaguely said something next to them, and then the two little guys obediently quieted down, and said good night to Lin Youlun in turn.

Lin Youlun sat cross-legged on the bed, and when he heard the busy tone on the phone, he put down the microphone, but he was thinking in his heart that Zhao Yazhi should also be in Wang Guxian's room at this time, so that the two little guys would not be so obedient.

This is only three or four days, and the relationship between Wang Guxian and Zhao Yazhi has developed so closely?

Lin Youlun shook his head, drove this somewhat marginal thought out of his mind, went to the bathroom to take a shower, read the newspaper for a while and fell asleep.

——

The crew of "Huanzhu Gege" had just finished filming in Chengde Summer Resort during this time, and officially transferred to Prince Gong's Mansion for filming, Lin Youlun originally planned to go over to visit the class in the morning, and when he was eating breakfast, a waiter ran over and told him that there was a call to his room just now, and no one answered there and transferred to the lobby.

Lin Youlun went to ask only to find out that the call was made by Huang Licheng, and the purpose was to ask Lin Youlun to meet for dinner at noon.

Huang Licheng took the initiative to come to the door, but Lin Youlun couldn't refuse, so he could only call Wang Guxian to explain, saying that he would go over after noon, and then return to the room and wait for Huang Licheng's arranged car to come and pick him up.

Huang Licheng's driver is still the Xiao Chen that Lin Youlun has seen before, and he won't be able to find someone to talk to along the way, Huang Licheng arrived first, and there was inevitably a greeting when they met.

At this time, it was still early to eat, so Huang Licheng asked the waiter to make a pot of tea and sat in the private room with Lin Youlun and chatted.

"Mr. Lin, you've done me a great favor this time!"

Huang Licheng expressed his gratitude to Lin Youlun as soon as he came up, and Lin Youlun knew that he was talking about the release of "Dream of Red Mansions" in Hong Kong, and he smiled tacitly, only saying that it was a trivial matter.

"This is not a trivial matter, being on the front page of the People's Daily is a big deal in China." Huang Licheng shook his head and said.

Lin Youlun always felt that something was wrong with this, he just asked Cen Jianxun to make the box office of "Dream of Red Mansions" look as good as possible. There is some factual basis for the report of the Chinese news agency, but this matter will not be reported so exaggerated, right? It's not a joke to be on the front page of the People's Daily, and it would be bad if it was exposed as fake news.

"Can the Yellow Bureau find that newspaper? I've been on the mainland for a while, and I haven't paid much attention to the news in this regard. ”

Lin Youlun asked to read the newspaper, and Huang Licheng happened to have one in his bag, but his bag was in the car, so he asked the driver Xiao Chen to go downstairs to pick it up.

"The tone for introducing Hong Kong films and strengthening cross-strait film cooperation was set by Deng Gong, and no one raised objections at the beginning, but after a long time, the situation was different. The first objection was because Mr. Lin asked Xie Jin to make that movie, and there was a lot of social controversy at that time, in order not to affect the overall situation of cooperation between the two places, the General Administration could only make concessions, so the film has not been allowed to be released in the mainland until now, but fortunately, the film won the award in France, and then the voice of doubt weakened. However, some time ago, this wind blew again, and this time some people criticized that the introduction of Hong Kong films had too great an impact on the mainland's ideology, and that the mainland's excellent film works were not noticed by the audience, saying that this was a capitalist master. The manifestation of righteous liberalization, some even say that we are giving capitalism the green light. Out of consideration for the overall situation of Hong Kong's smooth return to China, the central government has suppressed this voice, but it still has put a lot of pressure on our work. ”

Xiao Chen took the newspaper, Huang Licheng took it and handed it to Lin Youlun, "I sent "Dream of Red Mansions" to Hong Kong, and I also hope that this film can achieve some results in Hong Kong, so as to block some people's mouths, Mr. Lin can make arrangements in time, and let the movie be released so soon It really helped me a lot, so I must thank Mr. Lin today." ”

Lin Youlun opened the newspaper and saw that it was just a text report on the popularity of the mainland movie "Dream of Red Mansions" in Hong Kong, and he immediately relaxed a lot, but before he could completely put his heart into his stomach, he then looked down at the content of the report, and saw that the film had achieved a box office of more than 10 million in one week after its release, and his eyes widened directly.

Although this is the total box office of the six movies combined, this result still far exceeds Lin Youlun's expectations, in his opinion, "Dream of Red Mansions" can have a box office of several million in Hong Kong, which is already good, this box office of more than 10 million is not scientific?

Lin Youlun's first feeling was that Cen Jianxun had overacted, otherwise it would be new. The Chinese correspondent in Hong Kong deliberately exaggerated this figure, otherwise there would be no way to explain it. (To be continued.) )
