Chapter 186. Charity gala
Chen Xiaoxiao's private boudoir.
A cup of tea was respectfully placed in front of Zhang Guirong. As an important interview in her life, Chen Xiaoxiao put in a lot of effort, not only taking out the oolong tea that her father treasured, but also opening up her brother Chen Xiaotang to create a quiet and peaceful environment.
"Oh, Leslie, you drink tea! Actually, the content of my interview is very simple, I just want to know how you succeeded, and what twists and turns in your relationship path......" Chen Xiaoxiao stared at Zhang Guirong with beautiful eyes and asked carefully.
Zhang Guirong smiled and said, "I've been asked these questions more than a hundred times -- you just have to collect the news from previous interviews and you'll understand all the answers." β
"It's different, it's different," Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved his hand, "I want to know that you haven't told others stories, for example, hello Mao Shunyun Mao Mao's emotional experience-"
Zhang Guirong's face froze and he was silent.
Chen Xiaoxiao begged: "Please, for my brother's sake, you can reveal some secret news." Pleaseβ" Put your hands together.
Seeing Chen Xiaoxiao smiling at this "pitiful", Zhang Guirong couldn't help but wonder, this girl is really interesting, she used to be like a boy, but now she is so ...... It's too fickle, isn't it?
"Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you!" Zhang Guirong does not plan to hide anything anymore. "But I want you to tell my story as it is, and not add to it!"
"Don't worry, I won't! I can promise God that if I don't do it, then punish me and never get married! Chen Xiaoxiao raised his hand and made an oath.
Zhang Guirong couldn't help but laugh again.
So, in front of the girl he just met, Zhang Guirong turned the teacup with one hand and held his chin with the other, depicting his love experience with Mao Shunyun in detail and meticulously.
At the beginning, Chen Xiaoxiao was still nervously taking notes, but soon, she was attracted by Zhang Guirong's love story, and she had long forgotten what she was going to do, so she just listened stupidly, listening very carefully and carefully.
Time passed slowly.
When Zhang Guirong said that he reunited with Mao Shunyun again with the help of Chen Xiaotang, the two saw each other in the cinema, looking at each other and speechless.
He said that he may never love a woman like this in his life, because his feelings have died in this love, maybe it is difficult to have someone, but as long as he can cherish her, it is not bad... When he said this, Zhang Guirong's heart was a little sour, and he couldn't help the tears that came out, he wanted to hold back, but the more he endured it, the heavier the sad feeling became, and the mourning that had nowhere to vent was like an unstoppable tide, finally broke through the floodgates and gushed out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my eyes are a little uncomfortable!" Zhang Guirong was very shameless to hide his embarrassment, he wiped his eyes with his hand, and said with a smile: "Maybe I often stay up late when I record songs recently, my eyes are astringent, and I am very uncomfortable......" I was very uncomfortable and didn't say anything, but I saw that Chen Xiaoxiao had already handed over a white handkerchief.
Zhang Guirong looked at the handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.
"This story is very touching, I will definitely write it!" Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know if she was saying it to Zhang Guirong or to herself.
"If you can, I hope you don't write with my real name......" Zhang Guirong smiled bitterly and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "I can't pretend anymore, it's really embarrassing to cry in front of you!" β
Chen Xiaotang shook her head, she felt that this was the real Leslie, the real Zhang Guirong.
After all, celebrities are also people, they also have seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but as public figures, they are good at covering up.
But now, the moist corners of Zhang Guirong's eyes just show that he has a pure heart and shows that his true feelings are revealed - just ask, in this kaleidoscopic entertainment industry, how many people can have such a true surname? !
Returning the handkerchief, Zhang Guirong reluctantly showed a smile, "Okay, after saying so much, it should be enough for you to write." It's not too early, I'm going back. After Zhang Guirong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and got up.
"I'll send you."
"No thanks." Zhang Guirong said very gentlemanly.
Chen Xiaoxiao was a little stunned.
Zhang Guirong left, and behind him, Chen Xiaoxiao held the handkerchief, stupidly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mother Li Shuzhen was outside, looking into her daughter's room, and said in her heart, it's nothing if the lonely man and widow have been in it for so long, right?!
Suddenly, I saw Zhang Guirong coming out of it, and she was caught probing her brain. Facing Zhang Guirong who came out, Li Shuzhen said with some surprise: "Why do you leave now and sit for a while?" β
Zhang Guirong shook his head and said, "No, it's too late, I have to go back to work." β
"It's so late to work, it's not easy to be a big star!" Li Shuzhen sighed and sent Zhang Guirong downstairs.
turned around and took a look into my daughter's house, hey, what's wrong with this stupid girl, she was pointed, why did she stand there motionless?!
No, why is she still giggling? Could it be that she ...... I moved the spring ~ heart, and I began to miss my mother-in-law's family?!
Oops, this girl has finally opened up, and I think that the old lady was self-taught when she was in middle school.
But she probably likes Leslie, right?
That's not going to work, the door is not the right place...... How can someone with such a big name like her?!
Well, I have to tell the old man the good news, find someone to talk to, choose a child, and find a few suitable partners for my daughter, so as to save her from thinking nonsense!
As soon as she thought of this, Li Shuzhen walked away with a smile.
When Zhang Guirong left the Chen family, Chen Xiaotang sent him out alone, and at that moment, Zhang Guirong's mood seemed to be much brighter.
In fact, when all the heartache and unhappiness, sadness and sorrow are turned into tears and vented out, people will be sober.
Facing the evening breeze, before leaving, Zhang Guirong said to Chen Xiaotang, "I don't know who the glory of tomorrow night belongs to, but tonight's light only belongs to you and me - look, there is a bright moon above my head!" β
Chen Xiaotang understands what he said, but what he wants more is tomorrow night - the light is shining, only I am the brightest!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ March 31, 1983.
If what is the "big event" in the entertainment industry today, then there is no doubt that the "Charity Carnival" is!
From morning till night, the entire huge HKTVB TV station turned like a machine.
Everyone is gearing up for tonight's big show.
Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Creation Department, Advertising Department...... And so on and so forth, all the departments are ready to prepare for tonight's big party.
The major media newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong even published some insider stories of tonight's "charity gala" and the guests and performers...... Among them, the most popular is the presence of the Governor of Hong Kong, as well as the presidents and bosses of the four major film companies in Hong Kong. As for the performance, wireless has spent a lot of effort this time, and basically three generations of artists from the old, middle and young generations have taken the stage to perform.
Big singers Rib Wave, Ye Zhentang, Zhen Ni, popular singers Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guirong, as well as big stars Cheng Long, Zheng Shaoqiu, Lin Qingxia, etc., will also attend this performance.
It can be said that this is a much-anticipated event, and its limelight is no less than the Spring Festival Gala in the mainland.
Early in the morning, in the garden of the courtyard of a giant mansion, the film tycoon Shao Daheng was sitting on a small stool to practice qi.
During this period of time, Shao Daheng used to get up very early every day and start practicing qigong. Previously. He has been taking wild ginseng for ten years, costing nearly 10 million yuan. After practicing Qigong, he felt that his physical condition was very good, and he no longer needed to take ginseng. He has confidence in practicing qigong, and has been ready to persevere for more than ten years. Now, every time he goes out to inspect the business, he has to bring a special small stool with him in his luggage, and every morning, he has to sit on this special small stool to practice.
finally finished spitting out the old and accepting the new, and Fang Yihua handed over a towel next to him. Shao Daheng wiped his face.
Looking at Fang Yihua in front of him, Shao Tycoon somehow remembered his old subordinate Zou Wenhuai, Zou Wenhuai had always been considered Shao Tycoon's confidant and celebrity, and the outside world even ridiculed Zou Wenhuai and Shao Tycoon for a long time for "embarrassment". Indeed, the two once relied on each other and together created several successes of Shaw Brothers. Zou Wenhuai was granted great power by Shao Daheng and was in a prominent position of "under one person, above ten thousand".
But because of the confidante in front of him, Shao Daheng had to endure the policy of cutting Zou Wenhuai, so that Zou Wenhuai's power and status were seriously challenged. He thought that "Shaw Brothers" was no longer a place for him, so he gathered a group of friends. erected a banner and founded Golden Harvest Pictures, openly competing with the "Shaw Brothers".
Looking back, it was because of this woman that his eldest son and youngest son had different opinions with him, and they still couldn't get along. It is also to give up wireless and take care of it. The relationship between father and son is extremely thin.
Sometimes Shao Tycoon asks himself, is it worth doing this because of a woman? If his choice had changed slightly, maybe the Hong Kong film industry would have a different face now, and he Shao Daheng would probably still dominate Hong Kong...... If you don't accept this woman, maybe your children will be by your side and enjoy yourself in your old age...... Retracting his troubled thoughts, Shao Daheng said with a smile: "How are the preparations for tonight's charity gala going?" β
Fang Yihua said: "Everything has been taken care of, just wait for the opening tonight!" β
"Well, that's good, it's a big deal, and there's no room for error."
"I understand, I'm not going to mess things up......"
"Look at you, I didn't mean that. I haven't seen any scenes in the film industry for forty or fifty years, as the so-called, try to see the hero Qin Shi Huang, everything is empty when he dies! Even if I really mess up this time, so what, I Shao someone can afford to lose! β
Fang Yihua saw Shao Daheng say this, but his expression was full of domineering, knowing that according to his surname, he would never give in easily.
It's no wonder that Shao has been through so much, but he has never been defeated, especially twenty years ago, in 1964, when it was even more tempered.
That year seemed to be an unlucky year, as far as the things that had a major stake in the "Shaw Brothers" were concerned, in addition to the kidnapping of the eldest son Shao ~ Weiming, and the lucky escape of Shao Daheng himself, Lin Dai, the number one red star of the Shaw Brothers company, also committed suicide. He was only 30 years old when he died. She has won the Best Actress Award at the Asian Film Festival four times, signed contracts with many production companies, and in the years she became popular, she had constant scandals and a big temper. Her death was largely an inability to overcome herself. Lin Dai's death caused Shaw Brothers to lose a cash cow.
Before Lin Dai's death, she played the heroine in the two films "Blue and Black" and "Baolian Lantern" of "Shaw Brothers", and Lin Dai committed suicide before the filming of these two films was completed. Shao Daheng couldn't see these two films die halfway like this, so he took great pains to find a girl named Du Die, who looked like Lin Dai, as a stand-in, and made up the rest of the two films.
But it was also in this year that Shao Daheng could talk about masturbation, first, to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and the eldest son to save the day; second, his own life is big, and it is difficult to avoid flying opportunities in Taiwan; The third is that after seven years of reclamation and construction, the most important base camp of Shaw Brothers - Shaw Brothers Cinemas stands on the mountain road of Clear Water Bay with a new look.
Therefore, in Shao Daheng's view, he has been tempered into steel and is not afraid of any difficulties.
"Okay, you arrange it for me, tonight I will personally invite the Governor of Hong Kong to the show, and after the party, I will have a banquet for gentlemen and celebrities from all walks of life, I have lived in a simple house in the past few years, and it is time to show my face!" Shao Daheng said in a firm tone.
β¦β¦ The family of the great director Wang Tianlin.
The fat man Wang Jing watched his father twist around in front of the mirror with his clothes, not only impatiently: "Dad, can you not be so scratchy, you can look in the mirror for a long time!" β
"You decrepit boy, today is a big day, and the people who attended the party are all big names with heads and faces in HK, either film tycoons, entertainment celebrities, or political celebrities...... It's rude not to dress up modestly! β
"I understand what you say, but you're not a nobody, why do you care about all this?" Wang Jing was puzzled.
"You're really stupid when you say you're stupid, you really think I'm doing this to put gold on my face, I'm here to give you a long face!" Wang Tianlin said, "Anyway, this is also a rare opportunity, I want you to meet more people, make more friends, and take advantage of your father and I still have a little energy, to help you pave the road, and you can walk more smoothly in the future." β
"Ha, I didn't expect you to think so carefully - but with my first-class talent and appearance, even if I don't have your father to pave the way, the future will shine!" Wang Jing said awesomely.
"I think you're bragging first-class!" Wang Tianlin scolded, "If you don't give me a down-to-earth life, I'm afraid my old age will be bleak in the future!" β
"Don't worry, even if I starve to death, I won't let you starve!"
"you, clean nonsense!" Wang Tianlin was almost speechless, how could his fat son be so stubborn.
Another five or six minutes passed.
"Ah Jing, do you see that my body is a lot fatter? This suit is wearing a tight one? Wang Tianlin twisted in front of the mirror and asked his son.
Wang Jing yawned and said listlessly: "It's not that you're fat, it's that this suit has become thinner - your old man is blessed with a long life, and his body is concave and curvy!" β
"What nonsense are you talking about! - Okay, let's go, look at how you look half-dead! Wang Tianlin waved his hand.
"Oh yes, it's time to go!" The fat man got excited.
