It was just after six o'clock.

Hideki Hanyu, who finished the modeling, left the presidential suite.

Take the dedicated elevator to the hotel lobby.

It stands to reason that to attend this kind of party ball, you should bring a female companion.

However, Akina Nakamori is going to hold a small fan meeting in Xiangjiang tonight.

It is not possible to cancel a trip that has already been scheduled.

I couldn't find one for the time being.

So I just went by myself.

When Hideki Hanyu, who was in a straight suit, with a slender figure and gold-rimmed glasses, stepped out of the elevator and walked into the hotel lobby.

His handsome appearance and gentle temperament immediately attracted the attention of many people.

In addition to accommodation, the Regent Hotel is also a comprehensive entertainment body integrating catering and viewing.

Therefore, in addition to the residents, there are many customers here.

Especially now, it's a good time to dine and enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour.

Many celebrities and ladies who came to dinner, young ladies, couldn't take their eyes off when they saw Hideki Hanyu.

Someone whispered, "Which star is this?" ”

"If a star can have this style, it must be the young master of which family."

At this time, Hideki Hanyu was followed by his life assistant.

There are bodyguards in front of him and behind him.

On the side, Masahara Kobayashi continued to report to him.

It looks like it's really imposing.

"I don't know any of the sons of Xiangjiang, I've never seen this person, so I can't be a liar." Some people questioned it.

"Don't laugh, people can be liars like this, take the elevator in the presidential suite, all the clothes on their bodies are high-end, and the Patek Philippe in their hands is at least a few million Hong Kong dollars."

This look is to have vision and know how to do it.

"What about a liar, born so beautifully, I am willing to be a liar."

"Less nymphomaniacs, if you like it, go up and ask if it's over."

While everyone was talking, Hideki Hanyu and his party had already walked out of the hotel gate.

At this time, a young lady actually came over and wanted to ask about the identity of Hanyu Hideki.

As a result, before the person could get closer, he was stopped by the bodyguard who came out next to him.

At this time, everyone realized that not all of the bodyguards who followed Hideki Hanyu before.

Outside the hotel, next to a black Bentley Mulsanne, there were two rows of bodyguards of more than ten people.

Hideki Hanyu looked back at the woman who had been stopped.

Heavy makeup, jewelry, gaudy temperament, with a "Yuan" temperament of later generations.

I thought that these eighty percent were the unique "courtesans" of Xiangjiang.

After all, the resurgence of the so-called "celebrity" trend in later generations was blown back from the Xiangjiang River.

Despite the woman's expectant eyes.

But Hanyu Hideki just glanced at it, and then turned around and got into the car without hesitation.

When the convoy started, only a group of reluctant women were left.

The wealthy of Hong Kong like to hold parties and dances at home.

If you can find a reason, invite everyone to the meeting.

Invitees also enjoyed participating.

After all, parties are a great way to meet new people, tie up old relationships, expand your network, and maintain your presence.

The reason why Shao Yilu held a party at his Repulse Bay mansion today is very simple, two words.

Charitable.

The rich of Hong Kong are not only in pursuit of wealth.

The word fame is also very important.

In particular, they like to frame themselves with charity.

In addition to being a film and television tycoon, Shao Yilu is also a philanthropic person.

In addition to donating money to build teaching buildings in the mainland in the future.

Since the late 70s, he has been the president of the Heung Kong Red Cross.

Every year after the Spring Festival, he would hold a party at his home in the name of charity.

Hideki Hanyu happened to come to Xiangjiang at this time, so he was invited by the other party.

As a film and television tycoon in Xiangjiang, celebrities are naturally indispensable at this kind of party.

With celebrities, it is natural that entertainment reporters with Xiangjiang characteristics are indispensable.

That is, commonly known as the paparazzi.

Everyone squatted at the door of the mansion, filming the celebrities who entered one by one with great fanfare.

Because the name is charity, the people who enter the venue are quite high-profile, and there is nothing to hide.

Especially the kind of woman who is brought in by the rich.

There is a feeling that I am afraid that I will not be able to photograph them.

But when Hideki Hanyu's Bentley Mulsanne arrived at the door.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and he got out of the car with a full suit.

The reporters were a little confused on the spot.

As well-informed people, they don't even know who this person is?

is more handsome than a star, and more temperamental than those sons.

If there is such a person in Xiangjiang, there is no reason why they should not know each other.

But even though they didn't know each other, Hanyu's appearance alone was worth a negative.

Watching Hideki Hanyu walk into the back of Shao Yilu's mansion.

A reporter scratched his ears and cheeks, and said with a pained expression, "I seem to have seen this person somewhere." ”

A colleague next to him asked curiously, "Where have you seen it?" ”

"Isn't that what you're thinking......?"

"Don't think about it, I heard about the scandal that you went to Neon to chase Anita Mui a few days ago, tell us about it."

"That's the exclusive news, how could I tell you, but I've already inquired that she'll be at the party with her boyfriend tonight."

"You can't be lying to us, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"My boyfriend used to be a top star in Neon, and now he is a well-known racing driver, so it's normal to come late."

……

Just when the reporters were talking, Hanyu Hideki had already entered Shao Yilu's mansion.

When he walked into the party parlor, the assistant presented an invitation and a bottle of wine from Château Latour as a gift.

On his first visit, Hideki Hanyu naturally wanted to say something.

The British love Bordeaux wines.

For historical reasons, the upper class of Hong Kong also highly respected Bordeaux red wine.

Château Latour is one of the top wineries in Bordeaux, so it's perfect to buy its wine as a gift.

When he first came to the door, he didn't buy any rare vintage, expensive vintages.

A little over a thousand dollars is neither too classy nor too exaggerated.

When Hideki Hanyu entered, he was greeted by a middle-aged woman with short hair and a dignified and capable manner.

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, this should be the legendary "sixth sister-in-law" Fang Yihua.

Sure enough, the other party greeted him directly in fluent English.

"Hello Mr. Hanyu, I'm Mona, Mr. Shao Yiran's assistant, and you are welcome to the ball."

Fang Yihua, formerly known as Li Menglan and English name Mona, was famous for singing English jazz in the fifties and sixties, and it is not surprising that he is good at English.

In the face of this "Tianya Singer", she has now become Shao Yilu's right-hand man, and two years later, she will be the woman who will serve as the director and general manager of TVB.

Hideki Hanyu still paid attention to it and replied in English.

"Hello Ms. Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Saying that, he smiled and emphasized, "Actually, you can speak Chinese with me." ”

The last sentence he said was in Chinese.

Although he brought a translator with him, it was to translate Cantonese.

Fang Yihua listened to the Chinese language that was more standard than her, and after being slightly surprised, he hurriedly said.

"I didn't expect Mr. Hanyu to speak Chinese so well."

Then he explained, "Actually, Mr. Shao has been looking forward to Mr. Hanyu's arrival, but he has been feeling a little unwell recently, so he didn't greet him in person, so please forgive me." ”

"It's okay."

Hanyu didn't care about that.

After all, Shao Yilu was born in 1907 and is now almost eighty years old.

He couldn't do anything to force an eighty-year-old man to welcome him at the door.

Besides, because of Shao Yiran's charity in the mainland in later generations, Hanyu Hideki still respects this old man very much.

"Mr. Hanyu, please come with me."

Fang Yihua said, and led Hanyu Hideki towards the living room where the dance party was held.

Accompanied by the sound of elegant classical music, the ears are heard.

Hideki Hanyu stepped into the hall.

All sorts of well-dressed men and women burst into his eyes.

Before he could take a closer look to see if there were any acquaintances, he saw an old man who was supported by a servant approach.

The other party was wearing a black suit, with thinning hair, a thin face, a pair of old-fashioned glasses, and his mental head did not look very sufficient.

When Fang Yihua saw this person, he hurriedly walked over, took over the servant, and supported the old man.

Hanyu Hideki immediately recognized that this was the goal of his trip to Xiangjiang, Shao Yilu.

It seems that Fang Yihua said that the other party was not feeling well, but it was not an excuse.

But he remembered that this man had lived for more than a hundred years.

At this time, there should be no serious illness.

And just when Hanyu Hideki was observing Shao Yiran.

Fang Yihua, who was holding Shao Yiran, had already whispered a few words in Shao Yiran's ear.

Then Shao Yilu broke free from Fang Yihua's support and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Hanyu Hideki.

"The day before yesterday, I was contaminated with a little bit of wind and cold, and everyone around me was too worried, but I was not weak enough to need someone to help me, which made Mr. Hanyu smile."

Shao Yilu opened his mouth in Chinese, and it was obviously Fang Yihua who explained it to him.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu smiled and reached out to shake it.

"I have heard Mr. Shao's name for a long time, and it is a great honor to be invited to the ball today."

"Mr. Hanyu is a guest from afar, can he still live in Xiangjiang?"

"I stayed at the Regent Hotel and enjoyed the night view of Victoria Harbour there, and the Cantonese food was also very good."

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, fortunately, now the star master is still playing tricks, and the stalk of the Regent Hotel has not become popular.

Otherwise, it's a bit strange to say the name Regent.

"Is it in Regent Pavilion? That shop is specially opened for tourists, and if Mr. Hanyu wants to eat authentic Xiangjiang food, how about I do it another day? ”

"No problem......"

When the two first met, it was just a polite chat.

But between the words, Shao Yilu faintly traced the temptation.

Although Hanyu Hideki is young, Shao Yiran's response is extremely cautious.

It's really not prudent.

Cloud Entertainment contacted Shaw Brothers Pictures.

Shao Yilu just had a brief understanding of it, and he found out how big cloud entertainment is.

In just a few years, the company has risen rapidly in neon.

The business scope spans film and television advertising production, advertising distribution, music records, artist management, satellite television and many other fields.

According to the latest estimates from the outside world, even at the current exchange rate, the annual turnover of cloud entertainment can easily exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

Last year, the total box office of Hong Kong local movies was only 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, you don't need to count the entire cloud entertainment.

is just a female star named Akina Nakamori under Cloud Entertainment, who is now promoting in Xiangjiang.

Last year, the revenue generated by selling records and the box office of a movie alone was comparable to the total box office of Hong Kong Films.

If Cloud Entertainment intends to come to Xiangjiang for development, for the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, it is not enough to describe the use of the Jiangjiang Raptor.

And the day before yesterday, I learned that I was going to visit him, it was Hideki Hanyu, the behind-the-scenes boss of Cloud Entertainment.

Shao Yilu continued to get to know this Hanyu hideki in depth.

only to find that compared to cloud entertainment, Hanyu Hideki shocked him even more.

The young man himself is Neon's best-selling, best-known, and extremely socially status author.

He has won the British Picture Book Award and is famous all over the world.

In his opinion, cloud entertainment, which is already a giant, is just an industry under Hanyu Hideki.

Genie Entertainment, which was founded by the other party, is now the world's largest video game entertainment company.

His TVB doesn't know how many times he has broadcast advertisements for the other company's products.

América's Forbes magazine revealed that the other party was worth more than $700 million last year.

However, in Shao Yilu's opinion, this value is completely insufficient to reflect the wealth of the other party.

looked at the handsome, gentle and polite young man in his twenties in front of him.

Who would have thought that the other party was a super-rich man who could rank among the top even in Xiangjiang.

In this world, although money is not everything, it can solve many problems.

With such a Hanyu hideki, how can Shao Yiru not be careful.

And just when Shao Yilu was chatting with Hanyu Hideki.

At this time, the people at the dance scene saw Shao Yilu appear and began to receive Hanyu Hideki.

are also curious, who is this good-looking and temperamental young man?

It has been so solemn and kind for Mr. Shao to receive him for so long.

At this time, in the crowd, there was also a middle-aged white woman who was like a star holding the moon, and she also noticed Hideki Hanyu.

This white woman has a lot of background.

She is the wife of Wei Yi, the British Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the Asia-Pacific Region, and the British Chief Representative of the British Joint Liaison Group in China.

She is a Fellow of the Library Association of the United Kingdom.

So while others were still speculating about who Hideki Hanyu was.

She already recognized the young man.

Winner of the British Library Association's Kate Greenway Award.

Internationally renowned picture book author.

Hideki Hanyu.

And just when Mrs. Wei Yi noticed Hideki Hanyu.

Shao Yilu and Hideki Hanyu also ended their tentative chat after meeting for the first time.

Then he took Hideki Hanyu and walked in the direction of Mrs. Wei Yi.

As one of the most important guests on the scene today, Mrs. Wei Yi naturally wanted to introduce Hanyu Hideki.

Along the way, because of Shao Yiran's reception and outstanding appearance, Hanyu Hideki gradually became the focus of the scene.

People who don't know also speculate whether Hideki Hanyu is a distant relative of Shao Yiran.

With such a handsome appearance, is it to introduce the development of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry?

But when Shao Yilu took Hanyu Xiushu and came directly to Mrs. Wei Yi.

As soon as the introduction began, I heard Mrs. Wei Yi say, "Mr. Shao, I actually know Mr. Hanyu. ”

Mrs. Wei Yi used English.

But many people around me still understood, and then they became more and more curious.

Listening to this meaning, it doesn't look like Shao Yiran's nephew.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm actually a member of the British Library Association, and I voted for your owl under the moon."

Treating Hideki Hanyu, Mrs. Wei Yi's tone was very warm.

Because in her opinion, who loves books, compared to these people at the ball who are full of copper smell and have no taste.

Hideki Hanyu is definitely a great artist worthy of his name.

"Thank you Mrs. David for your support." Hideki Hanyu said politely.

Wei Yi's wife, he has a lot of memories of the other party in his mind.

The current Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, died of illness in December this year.

The other party's husband, Wei Yi, will take over Youde's position as the 27th Governor of Hong Kong and the commander of the three armed forces in Hong Kong next year.

Mrs. Wei Yi, who came to this party to help her husband become famous, saw that there was an artist named Hideki Hanyu to chat with.

Suddenly she lost interest in the people around her who flattered her.

After helping Hideki Hanyu from the waiter for a glass of champagne.

So he and Hideki Hanyu enthusiastically exchanged creative topics.

As they spoke, the two walked to the edge of the living room.

This made Shao Yiran, who still wanted to introduce guests to Hanyu Hideki, a little helpless, so he could only give up temporarily.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he was not interested in entertainment, but he was happy.

Anyway, he came to the party today, just to get to know Shao Yilu for a preliminary time.

I didn't think that we would be able to get down to business when we met for the first time.

Just at this time, other important guests arrived.

Shao Yilu had no choice but to say goodbye to Hideki Hanyu and go to receive other guests.

As the clock progressed, the guests who were invited to tonight's party arrived one after another.

In addition to chatting in twos and threes.

There are also female companions who invite them to enter the "dance floor" in the middle and dance a ballroom dance.

At this moment, a young man and a woman arrived at the scene.

The woman is Anita Mui, who has just broken Xiangjiang's personal record sales record with the album "Bad Girl" and is also emerging in the film industry.

Coming to the party dance with him was Anita Mui's boyfriend who had not been dating for a long time.

It was Masahiko Kondo, who was terminated by the Genesys Agency, couldn't stay in the neon entertainment industry, and relied on his past fame as a racing driver.

After Anita Mui arrived at the scene with Kondo Masahiko, she went to visit Shao Yilu as soon as possible.

In fact, before this year, Shaw Brothers Pictures had a grudge with Golden Harvest.

secretly suppressed Anita Mui, who signed an actor contract with Golden Harvest.

For example, using the influence of Shaw Brothers Pictures, Anita Mui was not allowed to participate in the award ceremonies of the Xiangjiang Film Awards and the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards.

and not allowing Anita Mui's movies to be released in Shaw Brothers theaters.

However, with the discontinuation of Shaw Brothers Pictures, coupled with the mediation of middlemen.

These grievances have also become a thing of the past.

Historically, after the Shaw Brothers was discontinued, the theaters were sold one after another.

Anita Mui, who was unable to attend the ceremony, soon won the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award for actress.

Today, Shao Yilu holds charity parties and dances.

Anita Mui was invited, so she naturally wanted to come to cheer.

After visiting Shao Yiran, Anita Mui and her boyfriend entered the dance scene together.

Say hello to people you know and introduce your boyfriend to everyone.

For Kondo Masahiko, Anita Mui can be described as falling in love at first sight.

Some time ago, I went to Neon in person, inspected real estate in Tokyo, and prepared to stay and fly with my boyfriend.

And Kondo Masahiko also showed a polite and affectionate posture with Anita Mui on this occasion.

This guy can please Mary Kitagawa in Denis, and he has a set of means in socializing.

Even in order to socialize with Anita Mui, he also took the initiative to learn Chinese and Cantonese.

coaxed Anita Mui into obedience and despair.

At this time, Anita Mui was chatting with her boyfriend and several TVB actor friends.

Some of these people she knew, some she didn't.

However, this kind of social place, those who don't know each other, soon met through friends.

For example, two young actresses, one is called Wu Junru and the other is Liu Jialing.

Both of them are that kind of straightforward character, and they have a very good appetite for Anita Mui, and they became familiar with each other after a while.

And the group of them chatted as if they were attractive.

Soon Anita Mui's friend Chen Baiqiang also joined in.

When Anita Mui debuted, Chen Baiqiang also recommended Anita Mui as his guest singer at the concert to help Anita Mui increase her popularity.

And after Chen Baiqiang appeared, there was no surprise, and soon the fourth princess also came.

But before everyone could say a few words, they saw Fang Yihua, the "sixth sister-in-law", walking over with a young man wearing glasses.

"Miss Fang is so ......"

After everyone greeted each other, Fang Yihua introduced the young people around him to everyone.

The other party is the grandson of King Xu Chuan, Xu Jinhui.

Xu Jinhui and the fourth princess knew each other, but this time his eyes were not on the fourth princess, but on an inconspicuous young girl in the crowd.

Liu Jialing, who officially met Anita Mui.

Obviously, this rich kid has a new goal for hunting.

At the same time, Anita Mui also introduced her boyfriend to Fang Yihua.

When Anita Mui visited Shao Yilu just now, Fang Yihua was greeting guests.

When he heard Kondo's name at this time, he immediately smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be two guests from Neon at tonight's party." ”

"Got any other neon guests?" Anita Mui was a little surprised.

Kondo Masahiko was also a little curious, wondering who Fang Yihua was talking about.

Could it be that a neon artist came to Xiangjiang to promote and was invited.

The neon artist who has been promoted in Xiangjiang recently seems to be only Akina Nakamori.

Is it really Akina Nakamori?

Although thinking of that beauty, his heart was a little hot.

But when I remembered that the other party was an artist from the cloud department.

and the notorious boss behind the Cloud Department.

Kondo's mind was instantly extinguished.

And just when a few people guessed who Fang Yihua was talking about.

The creative exchange between Hideki Hanyu and Mrs. Wei Yi has finally come to an end.

Mrs. Wei Yi finally extended an invitation to Hideki Hanyu.

"Mr. Hanyu, in three days my husband will hold a charity ball, mainly to raise funds for the Xiangjiang Children's Protection Association, I wonder if I can invite Mr. Hanyu to participate."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, how can a place like Xiangjiang be a dance party all day long.

But after complaining, he felt that he would definitely not be able to leave Xiangjiang in three days.

Coupled with Wei Yi's identity as the governor of Hong Kong in the future, it is still worth befriending.

He nodded and replied, "Thank you Madame for the invitation, I am more than happy to contribute to the protection of children." ”

Next, Mrs. Wei Yi asked Hanyu Hideki's address to deliver the invitation, and then said goodbye to Hanyu Hideki.

Without Mrs. Wei Yi to cover, Hanyu Hideki wanted to leave directly.

But this kind of party dance in the name of charity must inevitably express kindness or something in the end.

So even if he was bored, he could only continue to stay.

And at this very moment.

Because of Shao Yiran's advice, Fang Yihua, who had been paying attention to Hanyu Hideki, found that the conversation between Hanyu Hideki and Mrs. Wei Yi was over.

Immediately, he said to the people around him, "Since you are curious, then I will introduce another guest from Neon to everyone." ”

Check the information and find the crash, the speed of the code word can't go up at all, and today there are only 6,000.

There are also Xiangjiang stars, everyone must be familiar with them, so I won't be on the photo.
