Chapter 43 Premiere
Friday, May 4, Causeway Bay, Paterson Street, Pearl City Building.
Consisting of a shopping mall and three residential towers, the Pearl City Building, also known as the Jade Pearl Plaza, is famous for the Jade Pearl Cinema, the leading cinema under the Shaw Brothers. (Note 1)
In the corner of a cafΓ© in the shopping mall, Shen Chong and Zhang Aijia sat opposite each other, speechless, and on the table, there was a copy of "Ming Pao Weekly", like an iceberg, between the two.
Shen Chong has always made no secret of his love and pursuit of Zhang Aijia, which makes the relationship between the two too normal from the beginning, although they are not a couple, but they are quite ambiguous, and in an exclusive interview with "Ming Pao Weekly", Shen Chong admitted that his relationship with Li Kaiyuan is extremely close.
Opening a harem is not a simple matter......
If only the system could directly card the nymphomaniac......
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Chong broke the silence and sincerely apologized: "Sister Zhang, I was too frivolous Meng Lang before, I'm sorry." β
"Nothing." Zhang Aijia smiled reluctantly, then she lowered her head, took the spoon and gently stirred the coffee, and after half a sound, she asked faintly, "Do you love her?" β
Shen Chong squinted his eyes, leaned on the back of his chair, and after being silent for a while, he said, "She is the most important person in my life. β
To be born as a human being, whether materially or spiritually, we need to have an anchor point, to fix the body that runs around and the mind that is wanton and wild, so people will always do their best to buy a house, because the house is a material anchor.
And the spiritual anchor, when he was a child, he was his parents, when he grew up, he was his wife's friend, and when he was old, he was his child, and in this world, Shen Chong's parents and friends have been erased, and his soul has no place to dock, if it goes on like this for a long time, he feels that there are only two ways to go: either die - this world is just a dream, and death may be liberating; Either crazy - the world is just a virtual online game, who caresnpnetbsp; Li Kaiyuan appeared in time, she was fresh, her enthusiasm, her thoughtfulness, her vitality, and her gentleness fixed Shen Chong's panicked heart - Li Kaiyuan is real, so this world is real.
Those celebrities, whether they are peerless beauties or talented talents, do not have such ability, they are too ethereal, they have no breath of life, and all kinds of information about them in their previous lives have become an obstacle to Shen Chong's understanding of this world.
There is no doubt that Li Kaiyuan is the most important.
And Zhang Aijia is more like a good friend, the two get along very well, they are very comfortable together, they are very happy, they appreciate each other very much, as for the relationship between men and women, there is ambiguity, but it is not yet enough to break a qiΔ Cheng dΓΉ.
"Ming Pao Weekly" was brought over by Shen Chong, and he disdained it because he opened the harem in a secretive way, which would hurt everyone.
"I really envy her." When Zhang Aijia heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Shen Chong, and said, "I really hope that someone can say this to me." β
"Sister Zhang, you are also very important in my heart."
Zhang Aijialan's heart was warm, and she immediately heard the meaning of Shen Chong's words, she smiled, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "You say this, do you want to learn from my grandfather and raise a confidante?" β
Shen Chong nodded without hesitation.
Such blatant brazenness made Zhang Aijia laugh angrily, and she teased: "I'm afraid I'm not the only one you want to raise, do you want to raise a group?" β
"Sister Zhang still understands me." Shen Chong propped up the coffee table with his arms, leaned forward, and said with a serious expression and tone: "I want to open a big harem and collect beauties from all over the world." β
"Crazy, aren't you?" Zhang Aijia really smiled at this time and said, "You should be the emperor?" Even if it is an emperor, in this era, you can only marry one, besides, you hook up everywhere, what about the most important person in your life? β
"Take your time, it will work out." Shen Chong looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, "Hong Kong only abolished the polygamy system eight years ago, and there are many examples to refer to. β
"Then you can study it slowly in Hong Kong." Zhang Aijia took a sip of coffee and said, "After I finished filming "Legend in the Mountains", I was ready to go back to Taiwan. β
"Why?" Shen Chong was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that you would come to my film company?" β
"I find it hard to work with a boss as shameless and as you." Zhang Aijia glanced at him, then sighed and said, "The family has arranged a family affair for me, and when the girl reaches my age, it is time to get married and start a family." β
"Who's it?"
"Do you care?" Zhang Aijia and Shen Chong looked at each other for a moment, then bowed their heads and said, "His name is Liu Youlin, the chief of the Hong Kong bureau of the Associated Press." β
"Are you going to marry an old man who is more than ten years older than you and who has been divorced?"
"You know him?" This time Zhang Aijia was surprised.
"I'm a media worker." Shen Chong naturally can't talk about your love history, he has long been gossiped about in his previous life, and he covered it up: "How can a world-class news organization like the Associated Press not learn about it." β
"Really?" Zhang Aijia glanced at Shen Chong suspiciously, and said, "You are always mysterious, as if you know everything." β
"Sister Zhang, I think so." Shen Chong picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "If you marry such an old man, it is better to be an honest confidante for me." β
"I have nothing more to say to you." Zhang Aijia couldn't cry or laugh, picked up the magazine on the table and knocked on his arm, and said: "The old man is at least mature and steady, he knows that he feels sorry for people, and what good can he do to be a confidante for you?" β
"There are so many benefits." Shen Chongyou looked around, then pointed to the feng shui fish tank at the door of the cafΓ©, and said: "Sister Zhang, you marry an old man, just like that feng shui fish, living in a fish tank, being fed every day, no wind and waves, no natural enemies, comfortable and stable, but from then on, you can only move within easy reach for the rest of your life, and between the wonderful world, there will always be an invisible but touchable glass, are you willing?" β
"And be my confidante." Shen Chong drew a circle on the coffee table with his finger and said, "I can create a bay, or a large lake, where you can swim freely." β
Zhang Aijia's gaze wandered between the fish tank and Shen Chong, and after a while, she smiled and said, "I thought you would say, give me the whole ocean." β
"The ocean is windy and rough, and it will be very hard, and that's where I should go." Shen Chong smiled confidently and said, "Besides, if you are not careful, you will grow into a big shark, and I will be in danger." β
"If I become a shark, I'll be the first to eat you." Zhang Aijia laughed, she tidied up her clothes, and said, "Let's go, it's almost 12 o'clock, and the screening of "Crazy Robbery" is about to start." β
β¦β¦
Feng Xiaobo, together with several familiar colleagues, also came to the Jade Pearl Theater to prepare to participate in the screening of "Crazy Robbery".
"I've been waiting for more than an hour." He rolled up "Film Age", slapped his palms for a while, and complained: "Why can't you enter the theater yet?" β
A colleague looked at his watch and said, "It's almost now, it's eleven fifty, and there are still ten minutes left." β
"The scariest movie Hong Kong has ever made." Feng Xiaobo's favorite girl read the slogan on the poster next to the entrance of the theater word by word, and said a little worriedly: "Xiaobo, do you think this movie will be really scary?" β
Glancing at the poster full of violent and bloody elements, Feng Xiaobo was relieved: "No, film companies like to sensationalize, and the most scary movies are all bragging!" β
"Yes." The male colleague also chimed in: "Last time I went to watch a movie that is known as the funniest in the world, I didn't laugh a word from beginning to end." β
"But this poster looks so scary." The girl leaned closer to Feng Xiaobo and said, "It's not as good as the one in the magazine." β
Feng Xiaobo opened the magazine, intentionally or unintentionally attached to the body of his favorite girl, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Do you mean this?" β
"yes, this one is so artistic." The girl didn't notice Feng Xiaobo's small movements, and said: "The magazine said that this is the first film in Hong Kong to consciously explore the narrative mode, technique and function, I thought it was an art film, but I didn't expect the posters in the theater to be so scary." β
"The posters here may not have been made by the film company, but by the theater itself." Feng Xiaobo opened his mouth and said: "Deliberately make some gimmicks to attract those who don't read movies and magazines." β
"yes, it's possible."
At this time, the crowd surged, and the theater began to let people in.
"Brother, let me ask, what are you all doing with a magazine?"
"After watching the movie, with this "Film Times" and the movie ticket stub, you can get a souvenir for free."
"Oh, I knew I would have bought a copy too."
β¦β¦
The movie begins.
"This logo is really beautiful, the seal with white characters on a red background is very exquisite, and it looks better than Shaw's."
"It's okay." The girl said that Shen Chong was in good taste, Feng Xiaobo had always been obsessed, and she spared no effort to hit it, saying: "There is no soundtrack, not enough momentum." β
"Zhao Yazhi's dress is so beautiful."
"yes, I don't know where I bought it."
"I said, Zhang Aijia's eyes are not right when she looks at the actor, I guess there is a situation."
"I think so, could it be that Zhao Yazhi showed their adultery, and then killed and destroyed the body?"
"Oops, it's actually Zhao Yazhi and the actor who died."
"Wow, this madman is so scary, I guess he killed someone."
β¦β¦
A few girls who came together began to discuss in a whisper, but as the plot unfolded, the suspense became bigger and bigger, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and several girls stopped making a sound.
When Zhang Aijia saw a woman in red running past in the cemetery, Feng Xiaobo felt his hand tight, looked down, but saw the girl holding his hand, and whispered pitifully: "I'm so scared." β
Feng Xiaobo was secretly refreshed, holding her hand gently, and said angrily: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." β
When Zhang Aijia came home and saw the light in the opposite room, and hurriedly ran over to investigate, the flickering lights, the shaking and fluttering cameras, and the tense and suspenseful music made Feng Xiaobo involuntarily nervous.
"Xiaobo, you hurt me." The girl whispered her grievances.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Feng Xiaobo is embarrassed.
"Shhhh The audience behind is unhappy.
When Zhang Aijia chased Zhao Yazhi into the dark alley, Feng Xiaobo was already hugging her sister......
β¦β¦
Halfway through the movie, Shen Chong asked Zhang Aijia: "How do you feel?" β
"It's much better looking than the rough cut version." Zhang Aijia saw the finished product for the first time, she said: "I didn't expect Sister An to shoot so well, although I played it myself, I couldn't help but be nervous when I watched it." β
"That's how well you acted." Shen Chong smiled: "I think I can win the Golden Horse Award." β
Zhang Aijia turned her head, looked at him, and said, "Really? β
The reflection of the light on the screen adds a layer of silver brilliance to her silhouette, which is particularly bright and moving.
Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with certainty: "Really." β
The old version of "Crazy Robbery" is only 85 minutes, and many places are unclear, such as what is the relationship between Zhang Aijia and Zhao Yazhi? What is the relationship between her and Zhao Yazhi's family? What is the relationship with Wan Ziliang, etc., has not been explained, when the director is advancing the plot, the motivation is insufficient and the tension is not enough, the audience will wonder, why did Zhang Aijia go to investigate the cause of Zhao Yazhi's death?
In the new version, because of Shen Chong's reminder and support, Chen Yunwen revised the script, Xu Anhua also used more shots to outline the relationship between the characters, Zhang Aijia, as the heroine who strung together the entire plot, has a very heavy role and a lot of performance space, and she also performed very perfectly, playing a girl who struggles between love, family and friendship vividly, and the feelings are just right.
Shen Chong remembered that in his previous life, the old version of "Crazy Robbery" attracted much attention at the Golden Horse Awards, so the new version of "Crazy Robbery" with better quality should help Zhang Aijia gain something at the Golden Horse Awards......
