Chapter 384

"Steel Egg, Bass, come here!" Lao Lao Lao Wei beckoned to the two giant pandas with a basket of apples, and then let them perform eating apples in front of tourists.

He deliberately took an odd number of apples, one for you and one for it, and one was left in the end, then he smiled badly and put it between the two bears and asked, "Who eats the last one?"

Steel Egg grabbed it quickly, then handed it to Bass, pushed it on its face, and let Bass sister eat it.

The tourists and audience outside immediately burst into laughter. They have seen licking dogs, but this is the first time they have seen licking bears.

Although it was Monday, there were still many tourists coming to see the two little giant pandas. Even the original giant pandas in Beijing Zoo were neglected. In addition to Steel Egg and his wife being able to perform, it was also because one day less to see.

The newspaper had long said that the two young bears newly arrived in Beijing were prepared to be sent to Hong Kong compatriots to thank them for their friendship in fundraising for the disaster area in Sichuan.

And today, the day of departure was finally decided. Xu Shufen ran over and told Lao Lao Lao Wei: "Director, Director..."

Lao Lao Lao Wei said nervously: "Why did you shout out my ambition~"

Xu Shufen breathed evenly: "The director is looking for you!"

Lao Lao Lao Wei came to the director's office he wanted to replace. He had just received a call from the Hong Kong Office: "Comrade Jiefang, explain it to your family. You are preparing to set off for Hong Kong!"

In fact, there is no one at home now. When the two of them leave, only one daughter and a pair of cats and dogs are left.

After work, the two of them went to Peking University specifically to tell their daughter about this matter.

"Stay at school until your brother comes back. Don't go home. It's not safe for one person to go back and forth."

Wei Hong was miserable. She became a left-behind child. Fortunately, her parents left her enough pocket money and food stamps.

Then they called Xiao Mei again, asking him and Biaozi to bring some food and water to Ginkgo and Sheriff when they passed by the courtyard every day when they went to the store.

"Nothing else, right?" Lao Lao Lao Wei asked.

Xu Shufen: "Why don't I make some stinky tofu and bring it over? Mom said Dad liked her tofu best before. Fresh tofu is not easy to preserve, and I don't have tools, so I'll just make some stinky tofu. The method was taught by Mom."

Lao Lao Lao Wei: Why does Mom tell you everything!

"Okay, okay, you look at it. I'll tell Ping An again. I don't know when I can come back this time."

Today is Monday, the fourth day of the release of "Let's Make Laugh", and the propaganda offensive has also begun to be significant.

First of all, it is "Film Bi-Weekly" that Wei Ming did not arrange.

After watching the movie, Shu Kei immediately contacted Joey Wong to take a set of photos for her, becoming the cover character of the second issue of "Film Bi-Weekly" this month. Moreover, inside the publication, he and several backbone members of the publication, Luo Ka and Sek Kei, also wrote articles to publish comments on this biggest surprise in the December film market.

Luo Ka evaluated Patrick Tam's "Let's Make Laugh" as "retaining the author's perspective, but wearing a commercial sugar coating."

Sek Kei said that "Let's Make Laugh" injected the realistic spirit of the New Wave into popular comedy, implying the anxiety hidden under the take-off of Hong Kong's economy.

And the founder and editor-in-chief Shu Kei also praised the performance of newcomer Joey Wong in addition to the content of "Let's Make Laugh", saying that she kneaded the sharpness and fragility of the resentful woman naturally, and it will definitely be limitless in time.

"Film Bi-Weekly" is an important position for Hong Kong New Wave films, cheering for New Wave films and providing theoretical support. It is not keen on celebrity gossip, so sales are not high, but people in the film circle, especially those with certain artistic pursuits, will basically buy it, and every issue is not missed. It has a very high reputation among niche groups.

For example, Wong Jing went to watch "Let's Make Laugh" after reading "Film Bi-Weekly". At this time, he and Shu Kei had not yet formed a grudge.

In fact, Wong Jing also has an artistic heart, but he is realistic enough to know that those things cannot bring him glory and wealth, so he doesn't film them, but he will also support some art film directors when he has the conditions in the future.

At the age of 26, he graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and has been writing scripts for five years. This year, he directed for the first time, filming a 5-million box office "Challenge of the Gamesters" for Shaw Brothers, and entered the top ten of the annual box office, so Shaw Brothers immediately opened another "The King of Thieves" for him, still starring the fourth brother Tse.

Achieving commercial success in his twenties, coupled with his father Wong Tin-lam's status at TVB, Wong Jing can be said to be on a smooth path in the film and television industry.

And after watching "Let's Make Laugh", combined with his own evaluation and the reaction of the audience on the scene, he knew that the box office ranking of his "Challenge of the Gamesters" would have to give way, plus there is a new work by Sammo Hung behind it, feeling that he is afraid that he will fall out of the top ten.

And it's amazing, isn't today Monday? Why are there so many children who look like students coming to the cinema?

Sigh, I really want to have such a popular movie. After returning home, he began to ponder a new movie script, which is also this kind of urban emotional comedy type, and the male lead in his mind is Kenny Bee.

And representative figures of the New Wave such as Tsui Hark, Allen Fong, and Patrick Tam have also watched this movie one after another. Ann Hui didn't watch it because she was in Hainan.

Although some people feel that it is not New Wave enough and added commercial elements, everyone recognizes that the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad, and the public evaluation will not be low.

So how much is the box office?

On the phone, Xia Meng told Wei Ming: "The result of three days is about 3.1 million!"

3.1 million is almost enough to recover the cost, and the rest is profit!

This result is the same as the first weekend box office of "The Young Avenger", and the public reputation is excellent. Urban, emotional, and light comedy types are now better to sell than action films. Maybe it can really come to another 10 million box office.

In addition, Xia Meng has confirmed the time to go to Hainan to visit the set of "Boat People": "I want to go the day after tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

Because Lao Lao Lao Wei is not sure when he will come to Hong Kong, Wei Ming declined, waiting to welcome his parents.

In addition, he has to date Mao Mao Amin after she finishes school, but friends in Hong Kong know that Wei Ming is here, so he has an appointment at noon, and the three Wynners invite him to a meal.

After arriving at the place, Wei Ming first congratulated B-Gor and Anthony Chan on the big box office, and then Wei Ming congratulated Alan for winning the Golden Horse Best Actor.

Who would have thought that he, a superstar in the music scene, was the first Hong Kong actor to win the Golden Horse Best Actor?

Tan Tan Yonglin was a little embarrassed: "Will the mainland authorities have any dissatisfaction with me acting in this play?"

The work he just won the Golden Horse Best Actor is called "If I Were for Real".

And this movie is very interesting. The core of the story is Gogol's "The Government Inspector" from Russia, and then it was adapted into a stage play script by Sha Ye Xin and others, screenwriters of the Shanghai People's Art Theatre, based on a real case in Shanghai at that time. The original version is pretending to be a government inspector, and the latter is pretending to be a second generation.

Because the satire was too sharp, the controversy was relatively large, and the script was softly banned shortly after it was published.

Finally, this stage play script was favored by Taiwan director Wang Tong, who pulled Hong Kong actor Tan Tan Yonglin to film it into a movie, and also won three awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the recently concluded Golden Horse Awards.

Wei Ming also saw this movie on the Internet later. Although this movie swept the Golden Horse Awards, there must be political factors, because this is a movie that satirizes the mainland, but his evaluation is very worth watching.

Facing Tan Tan Yonglin's worry, Wei Ming comforted: "Don't worry, the original stage play also has many official figures supporting it in the mainland. Even if it is attacked, it will at most be attacking the director. Because you have merit in fundraising, they will definitely not aim at you."

Hearing him say this, Tan Tan Yonglin was relieved. Hong Kong's future is still unclear, and he, a small artist, doesn't want to offend anyone.

Don't talk about those high-risk topics. Tan Tan Yonglin talked about the upcoming Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award: "You should be able to attend by then, right? I can't imagine how many of the ten you can occupy."

"When will it be held?" he asked.

"Early January, right."

Wei Ming spread his hands: "Then I guess I won't see it. I'm going back at the end of the month, but I hope you can all win awards."

He recited a sentence, and Mao Mao Amin.

At this time, Vivian Chow in the classroom just saw a classmate holding the newly released "Madman Comics", and several boys were whispering while reading it.

She said with surprise: "It's early!" It's usually the 15th.

So at noon, Vivian Chow also hurriedly went to the bookstore to buy one. Except for "Force King", she quite likes most of the comics.

Then she saw the promotional comic in the middle color picture. She hurriedly closed it and thought of the embarrassment when she and Mao Mao Amin watched the movie that day. Thinking of this, her legs felt hot again.

She also heard the male classmate in front appreciating this set of paintings while discussing with his tablemate: "How about we go watch this after school!"

"Okay, okay~" The two were like thieves, with excited light in their eyes.

The skill of this set of paintings is indeed very high. Vivian Chow gave an objective evaluation from the perspective of aesthetics, and then looked at the author "Liu Ruyan".

Liu Ruyan? Mao Mao Amin understood, it must be Ah Long's vest.

"Wronged! Slander! It has nothing to do with me!"

When Ah Long and Ah Ying were eating in the office at noon, Ah Ying also saw this set of paintings, and then she said resentfully: "Do you think I'm too small?"

Ah Long was stunned: "Ah Ying, you are four years older than me."

"I mean here!" She pointed to the chest of the semi-naked woman in the comic, and then pointed to her own chest. She also thought this was drawn by Liu Rulong.

Then it was Ah Long shouting injustice. In the end, he could only sell Mao Mao Amin. After all, it was not a big deal. If he kept Mao Mao Amin's matter secret, there would be no big problem.

However, after knowing the truth, Gong Ying began to ponder whether Wei Ming disliked her sister for being small, and this comic character didn't look like the heroine of the movie, especially the figure. Then the more she looked, the more she looked like an old friend.

"Yes, it's me!"

Miss Li Zhi, who had no boss to serve, also bought a copy of "Madman Comics" to pass the time, and then saw this comic by "Liu Ruyan".

She felt that the sexy woman with short hair in the comic was herself. The face didn't look like it, but the figure was perfectly restored.

If she guessed correctly, this Liu Ruyan should be Wei Ming. It turns out that he was drawing comics facing her in the kitchen that day.

Miss Li Zhi was shy, angry, and happy. She was still very attractive to Wei Laoshi.

Bored and lonely, she dialed the phone of Wei Ming's hotel. It's a pity that Wei Laoshi was not there, but it doesn't matter, she can send it!

Both the hotel name and room number were available, and President Lingling even left the car to her.

At this time, Wei Ming's small gathering with the three Wynners at noon had ended. Just now they mainly chatted about which good songs emerged last year and felt a headache for the organizer of the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs.

Last year, the music scene was already flourishing, and it was spurred by Wei Ming. There are more than ten good songs that are well-known.

Then Wei Ming had a flash of inspiration. After parting, he immediately drove to the office of Sir Run Run Shaw of TVB.
