Chapter 385

~14 min read 2,683 words

For horror films to scare people, pictures, sound effects, lines, and atmosphere are all very important. Miss Li Zhi was scared in the case of no sound, not understanding the lines, and the living room lights were on. It can be seen how scary "The Exorcist", the highest-grossing horror film in Hollywood film history, is.

Wei Ming also doubted whether Miss Li Zhi was acting, but she, who had fair skin, now had a somewhat blue face, and her plump lips were also trembling slightly. This should not be something her acting skills could do. It seems she was really scared.

After calming down in Wei Ming's arms, she let go of Wei Ming and apologized: "I'm sorry, Wei Laoshi. Just now the curtain moved, and the movie was too scary, so I couldn't help it. I didn't mean to disturb you."

Seeing her sincere attitude, Wei Ming sat on the sofa: "I also happened to be tired of writing and relaxed. But horror films should not be watched. This stuff won't make you brave, it will only increase the fear in people's hearts. I was joking with you just now, and you took it seriously."

Miss Li Zhi proposed: "Then how about we change to another movie to watch?"

Wei Lingling has many videotapes here, including European and American films.

He walked to the European and American area where the videotapes were placed: "Are there any of these movies you haven't seen?"

Miss Li Zhi: "I have seen relatively few, because there are no Chinese subtitles, and learning English can only rely on guessing. I have seen this and this."

So Wei Ming chose "The Blue Lagoon" from the works she hadn't seen. It was one of the top ten best-selling films in North America last year. The director and male lead are not important. The heroine is Brooke Shields. Even Grandma Zhao Lirong knows Spicy Ji Si.

The story tells the story of a pair of young boys and girls who were stranded on a desert island and lived there and explored the mysteries of men and women.

At the beginning of the film, Brooke Shields is youthful and aggressive, and she is indeed beautiful. When she filmed this play, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same as Ah Min now.

However, after all, she is a Western woman. Although Brooke Shields in the film is young, she looks like she can be picked, while Ah Min, although she has grown tall enough, is still childish. Wei Ming can't bear it, and the law doesn't allow it.

Thinking of Ah Min, Wei Ming looked at the distance from Miss Li Zhi, um, safe distance.

And Miss Li Zhi also gave up the consistent strategy of throwing herself at him. Wei Ming's cold attitude just now made her understand a truth: Wei Ming must be having a hot time with that girl now, his heart is full of her, and he cannot tolerate other women.

At this time, what she should do is wait, wait for the other side to make a mistake. She doesn't believe that a teenage Hong Kong girl who grew up in a honey pot can always cherish this hard-won high-quality man.

After figuring this out, even if there were some naked and ambiguous shots in the film, Miss Li Zhi didn't take the opportunity to attack, but shyly made an excuse to pour tea for Wei Ming and went into the kitchen. She only came out after the rolling of the young men and women was over.

After watching the movie, Wei Ming's first feeling is that Brooke Shields is indeed beautiful, and the second feeling is, I really want to go to Sanya, sunshine, beach, coconut, and bikini!

Hong Kong's beach resources cannot be compared with Sanya at all. In his previous life, he had a house in Sanya, but it's a pity that he didn't use it many times.

It was almost 12 o'clock when the movie ended. Wei Ming said goodnight to Miss Li Zhi and went back to their rooms. He didn't change the sheets. Forget it, he didn't dislike his aunt.

It must be said that the girl's bed is fragrant, and the dreams are all about applying sunscreen on Ah Min's back on the beach. Miss Li Zhi is different. She let Wei Ming apply it on the front.

As a result, it was embarrassing the next morning. After all, he was at the age of 20 when he was most impulsive, after all, he hadn't learned from the two sisters for several days, and the most embarrassing thing was that he didn't bring a change of underwear in his bag.

Fortunately, the aunt's quilt was not contaminated, otherwise he wouldn't have the face to see anyone in the future.

In the early morning, after Miss Li Zhi woke up and finished breakfast, she wanted to call Wei Ming to eat together, but found that he had already left and left a note.

"Still have things to do, leave first. Your body is fine, so I won't come over tonight. Remember to close the door when you are alone, don't watch horror movies, and don't open the door for strangers."

Miss Li Zhi's eyes were a little moist when she saw it. She had been in Hong Kong for so long, and her own father had never had such delicate instructions.

Although Wei Ming behaved coldly yesterday, like a "don't touch me" attitude, his heart was warm, and Miss Li Zhi knew that this was not because she was beautiful and had a good figure that he said these words. He was just simply a good person.

She was so lucky to meet such a good person, and so unfortunate that she didn't know him first before other women.

Wei Ming left his aunt's house with an empty crotch, first returned to the hotel to change his underwear, and then ran to TVB to hand over the plans for the Top Ten Golden Songs and the New Talent Singing Contest to Run Run Shaw.

And he pointed to the unopened TV and said: "This morning, TVB's entertainment news has already started broadcasting the good news that 'Let's Make Laugh' has both box office and reputation."

Although the morning ratings were low, this was just the beginning. Run Run Shaw promised to report it every day during the screening period, and not just morning news. Wei Ming expressed his gratitude for this.

"In another half a month, the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs will be awarded, and the Top Ten Golden Songs will have another month. Now it's time to prepare for selection and publicity. There are relevant plans above." Wei Ming reminded before leaving.

Run Run Shaw nodded and stood up to see him off. Wei Ming asked him to stay.

When leaving, he also met his old friend Xu Jinjiang and took the initiative to greet him.

Tony Leung stood beside Xu Jinjiang. Both of them had long hair and were artists. And what Wei Ming thought of was Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen.

Xu Jinjiang hurriedly introduced Tony Leung and Wei Ming to each other. Wei Ming is one of the few big figures he knows. One look shows that he is here to find Mr. Shaw, and he also has face.

Tony Leung also showed the humility he should have to Wei Ming and said that his girlfriend likes his songs very much.

"I know," Wei Ming asked him, "Did Li Dao tell you?"

"Ah, tell me what? Which Li Dao?"

So he didn't know, Wei Ming waved his hand: "It's okay, you'll know later."

Li Heizi set the male lead for others but didn't tell him yet.

However, Tony Leung also reacted. Could it be that he is talking about Dianxin's father? What could happen? Could it be forced marriage!

Wei Ming chatted briefly with the two newcomers in the entertainment industry and learned that they had just come out of the set and had just played two dragon sets, and then couldn't help but envy Andy Lau. People are already playing the second male lead in movies.

They don't lack Andy Lau's courage, they just lack a little opportunity.

After coming out of TVB, Wei Ming returned to the hotel to write, and received a call from Aunt Xia Meng at noon.

She said strangely: "This morning, I suddenly saw TVB broadcasting news about 'Let's Make Laugh', and the length is not short. They are all praise. Did you do something?"

Wei Ming joked: "I went to TVB yesterday to talk to Sir Run Run Shaw personally, asking him to give Ms. Xia Meng some face, and then it became like this."

Xia Meng laughed "Hahaha". Later, Wei Ming told the truth: "I gave Mr. Shaw some feasibility suggestions for his industry. This is gratitude."

"Ma Xiaowei, you are really not simple. The mainland really produces talents!" Aunt Xia Meng praised endlessly, and then she told Wei Ming, "Monday's box office exceeded 800,000, basically on par with Friday. It seems that 10 million box office is not impossible!"

Then this will be the fourth 10-million-level movie in Hong Kong history! Blue Bird and Golden Harvest each occupy two seats. In the past, Xia Meng didn't even dare to think about it. Have I become a movie tycoon?

Wei Ming laughed: "Maybe it will be 10 million when you come back from Hainan. Don't forget the celebration banquet then."

Xia Meng said: "After coming back from Hainan this time, I will hold a celebration banquet for you, and there will be red envelopes!"

After hanging up this call, Wei Ming called Ocean Park again to ask about the news of pandas from the mainland.

After Wei Ming reported his name, the other party told him: "The mainland has already replied, and it is expected to set off for Hong Kong on Saturday the 19th. After a few days of rest, they will meet with Hong Kong citizens on Christmas Day."

Today is Tuesday, four more days!

After Wei Ming got the news, he soon saw this news on TVB, Rediffusion, and heavyweight newspapers in Hong Kong. He could even hear the hotel front desk talking about this matter. It is completely imaginable how lively Ocean Park will be on the day the panda opens the door to welcome guests.

For the past two days, Wei Ming has been staying at home. He is either writing in the hotel or accompanying Ah Min, and occasionally chats with Miss Li Zhi on the phone to care about her head.

On Friday afternoon, Wei Ming brought the results of these few days to Madman Comics.

The last issue of the magazine in 1981 sold 130,000 copies in Hong Kong, with no pressure, so Ah Long prepared to go directly to 150,000 for the first issue of 1982, and then he would slow down and strive to reach 200,000 copies in 1982.

In fact, for Hong Kong's population structure and economic level, 150,000 is already very, very high, and "Madman Comics" has almost united most comic lovers.

Although there are still some lovers of yellow and violent comics who have not been taken care of, if they are taken care of, they will definitely lose other readers, and it is easy to be reported by competitors, which is not worth the loss.

Ah Long said: "The overseas feedback is also good. President Gong is preparing to order 50,000 copies for the first issue of the New Year."

These 50,000 copies are the sum of the Chinese circle in the United States and Taiwan, and they are also an important source of profit for Madman Comics now.

Wei Ming said: "If we do weekly comics in the future, we can actually attract Taiwanese cartoonists. Some people are still very talented."

Ah Long: "I have been thinking about this since you said to cultivate newcomers, and I even want to have the opportunity to go to Taiwan to meet my peers."

"It's a bit risky. It's not very good to be caught as a spy," Wei Ming teased.

However, there are indeed some masters among Taiwanese peers now. At this time, Ao Youxiang's Oolong Courtyard comic has been born, and it is a very excellent work even in the entire Chinese comic scene.

After chatting with Ah Long for a few words, Wei Ming asked Huang Guoxing to come in and hand over the results of his creation these few days to him.

"This is a group portrait story," Wei Ming said, "It tells the story of five good friends who met in prison after they were released from prison."

"Ah, 'Winners and Sinners', this kind of subject matter should be drawn by Niu Lao." As soon as Huang Guoxing heard the outline, he felt that this was not something he was good at.

Wei Ming laughed: "These five people were not imprisoned because of any great evil, and except for this fat man named Partridge, who is normal, the others are not very smart, either stupid or stunned, and there is a playboy. After the five were released from prison, they all wanted to wash their hearts and start over, and then a series of ridiculous stories happened."

This story is called "Winners and Sinners". It is called this name, but you can fill in the bridges in movies such as "Winners and Sinners", "My Lucky Stars", "Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars", "Lucky Stars Go Places", etc.

As long as the five characters are portrayed vividly and interestingly enough, more stories can be derived, and it is not limited to this Winners and Sinners series of movies led by Sammo Hung.

And because they are all urban comedy comics, they can also interact with "Young and Dangerous" and "Happy Ghost".

After listening to Wei Ming's description of the personality characteristics of the five characters, Huang Guoxing directly picked up his pen and started to draw their head portraits, full of energy.

Wei Ming nodded: "I hope you can make them come alive under your pen. This series is a unit story one by one. What I am writing now is the first story, 'Winners and Sinners', which is enough for you to draw for a while. However, the details still need you to fill in with the screenwriter teacher. After all, I am not as good as you locals in Hong Kong-style comedy."

Huang Guoxing hurriedly said: "Wei Laoshi, you are humble. 'Let's Make Laugh' is so funny. I have watched it twice."

Ah Long asked: "Watching it twice in such a short time, do you have two girlfriends?"

Huang Guoxing: "No, I watched it once with Niu Lao, and once with Gan Xiaowen. They don't have girlfriends either."

Wei Ming felt pitiful listening. There are too few people with partners in the company. Fortunately, he helped raise the average value.

Walking out of Madman Comics, Wei Ming looked north. Tomorrow, tomorrow, Ma Xiaowei, Lao Lao Lao Wei, and Old Lao Lao Lao Wei can reunite for three generations.

Lao Lao Lao Wei and Xu Shufen had already packed their luggage. When Wei Hong asked when they could see them, they couldn't say clearly.

In principle, they need to wait until the local keepers in Hong Kong can completely take over the pandas and can cope with major and minor illnesses before they can return.

Wei Hong felt that they wouldn't be back for a year or a half as soon as she heard it. How could Steel Egg recognize others?

Seeing her daughter's reluctant eyes, Xu Shufen hugged her and said: "Your brother will be back in a few days. He will definitely not let you be alone for too long. Mom will sleep with you today."

Her daughter is also 15 years old and will be separated for so long soon. Xu Shufen has to explain.

The next day, Wei Hong sent her parents to the door, and the zoo's car came directly to pick them up.
