Chapter 395
However, Zou Zou Wenhuai is not without a way. When Wei Ming submits the manuscript, he can pick out some faults and lower the conditions.
By then, he has already written it, and it is tailor-made for Jackie Chan. He has to sell it even if he doesn't want to.
On this day, a far-reaching event also happened in the Hong Kong film circle, that is, *Film Biweekly* announced that it would be established this year and award an authoritative film award aimed at encouraging Hong Kong films and filmmakers—the Hong Kong Film Awards.
However, no one cared about them at this time. Isn't it enough for a movie to have box office? Awards? Can awards be eaten as a meal?
At least not now.
Although there were few responders, Shu Qi and others were still actively preparing, and the awards ceremony was temporarily set for March.
On January 21, the New Year atmosphere in Hong Kong became heavier and heavier. On this day, three heavyweight new films were released in the film market at the same time. Among them, the most popular one was Golden Harvest's *Dragon Lord*, starring Jackie Chan, which was also a Republic of China kung fu kid movie.
Then there was Shaw Brothers' *Legend of the Eighteen Weapons*, directed and starred by Liu Jialiang, as well as Fu Sheng, Kara Wai, Liu Liang Jiahui, and others.
Finally, there was *Shaolin Temple*, produced by the newly established Zhongyuan Film Company of several leftist companies. Director Zhang Zhang Xinyan still had some fame in Hong Kong. Liang Liang Yusheng's representative works such as *The Jade Bow* and *The Bride with White Hair* were all moved to the screen by him.
As for the starring actors Jet Li, Yu Hai, Ding Lan, and Yu Yu Chenghui, who are these? I haven't even heard of them.
But they will hear about them soon.
And at this time, Cinema City's *Aces Go Places*, which rushed to the New Year's file, officially announced that their movie box office had exceeded the 10 million mark!
"Ten million? So powerful? After watching *Shaolin Temple*, I must go and see how good it is." Lao Lao Lao Wei was dragging Xu Xu Shufen to watch *Shaolin Temple* at this time. This was filmed by Seeing Biaozi's junior brother. They had heard of it long ago and must come to support it.
And this is the leading cinema of the Shuangnan circuit. I heard that the starring actors will also come to perform programs before the screening.
Sure enough, Jet Li appeared before the movie started. First of all, his appearance won the audience's love, and then he played a set of Shaolin boxing that was both elegant and fierce, winning bursts of cheers from the scene.
After Jet Li stepped down, the movie officially started. A little monk next to him said: "Brother Li, do you think Hong Kong people will like our movie?"
"Little Master Yongxin, we filmed with heart, everyone will definitely like it. Alright, let's go back to the hotel."
This time, in order to promote this heavyweight movie personally deployed by Manager Liao Gong, the mainland side took two paths, one literary and one martial.
Martial is Jet Li, and literary is the Abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Xingzheng. He communicated with the Hong Kong Buddhist circle. The 17-year-old boy who followed Jet Li was Master Xingzheng's fat apprentice.
When returning to the hotel with the comrades from the mainland, Jet Li rested his chin and looked out the window. If only he could meet that little Sister Li again, I don't know if she is doing well.
The movie *Shaolin Temple* did not disappoint Lao Lao Lao Wei and Xu Xu Shufen. Like *The Shaolin Temple*, it selected a large number of good mountains, good waters, and good scenery in the mainland, which greatly satisfied the curiosity of the Hong Kong people about the mainland.
Secondly, the fighting was also wonderful. Although it was not as tragic as *The Shaolin Temple*, the ornamental value was higher.
The most critical thing is that the male protagonist is not a child, but a graceful young boy. Jet Li's appearance is too pleasing.
After coming out of the cinema, Lao Lao Lao Wei was still excitedly discussing with Xu Xu Shufen the stories about Shaolin monks he got from comic books.
This to a certain extent diluted the two's longing for their hometown and children.
They had no choice this year and could only spend it in Hong Kong. Compared with other zookeepers, they were lucky. At least there were relatives like Old Gui and Wei Lingling, and friends like Zhou Ma, Liu Bin, Yang Laoshi, and A-Long.
Oh, no, Liu Bin's family returned to the mainland, and I don't know when they will come back.
When Wei Ming was still writing in the old Western-style house, he received a call from Gong Xue from near her home.
"Good news, good news!"
"What, are you pregnant?"
"Go to hell, it's A-Ying, A-Ying and the others are back from Hong Kong!"
At this time, the Liu family of three was visiting the Gong family. At the same time, the Liu family also booked a private room at the Peace Hotel, preparing to feast the Gong family to decide the wedding date. Mother Gong asked Gong Xue to call the eldest sister and her family, and she thought of Wei Ming.
Wei Ming laughed: "Why don't you just meet the second daughter and the third daughter together."
"You, what do you mean?"
Wei Ming: "I am a millionaire, it should be no problem to have a meal at the Peace Hotel, right."
Gong Xue was silent for a moment and then: "Then, then you go. Eat more and talk less."
"Alright!"
Gong Xue: "You leave a note for Sister Lin. It's not good to hide this from her."
"I know."
Gong Xue: "Then you go now. We don't plan to stay at home for long. The place is too small and we can't stand."
After putting down the phone, Gong Xue turned around and saw Gong Ying walking towards her.
"Second sister, let's go to the entrance of the alley and take a taxi directly. They will come down immediately."
"Hmm." Gong Xue held her sister and couldn't see enough no matter how she looked, "The change is too big. You look so good in this outfit."
Gong Ying laughed: "It's not like I didn't send you Hong Kong fashion. If you put it on, what would I have to do."
"I only hope that others can't see me when I go out now, but I dare not wear it so conspicuously."
"I know, I know, you are a big star now. If you were in Hong Kong, that would be..." Gong Ying thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a female star in the Hong Kong film circle who could compare with the second sister. The Hong Kong film circle is completely a man's world.
"What is it?"
"It's Angie Chiu. You might not know *The Bund*, but it's very popular in Hong Kong anyway." She thought and thought and only thought of Angie Chiu.
"I know, I've even watched it."
"Ah?"
"The videotape brought back from Hong Kong by A-Ming, Feng Chengcheng is indeed very beautiful."
Gong Ying lowered her voice: "Second sister, tell me, Wei Ming hasn't let you down, right?"
Gong Xue's heart skipped a beat. Does she know about Sister Lin?
"No, why do you ask?"
"Nothing, he is too popular in Hong Kong, a great writer, a great musician, and very rich. Even the pandas were introduced to Hong Kong because of him."
Gong Xue smiled: "What's the use of Hong Kong people liking him? His roots are in the mainland."
While talking, the two walked to the entrance of the alley. The neighbors looked at the two sisters with envious eyes.
Originally thought that Gong Xue became a big star, which was already very powerful. Didn't expect the third girl of the Gong family to be even more powerful, actually marrying to Hong Kong, and it was a rich family in Hong Kong. Heard it was a stupid son of a rich family. Developed, the whole Gong family will not worry from now on.
A-Long: Damn it, I seem to hear someone gossiping about me.
Wei Ming acted quickly. When he arrived, the two families hadn't arrived yet, so he wandered around the lobby. Fortunately, he was a celebrity and a regular customer, so people didn't urge him.
Finally, Wei Ming was strolling around when he saw a group of people coming in. He hurriedly found a table to sit down, picked up the menu, and started ordering food in a fake way.
Then he heard A-Long's surprised voice: "A-Ming!"
He ran over in small steps.
Gong Xue also made a surprised expression, but she couldn't hide it from Gong Ying. It must be colluded!
Immediately after, Liu Bin and Yang Laoshi also went over to greet Wei Ming. They really thought it was a chance encounter.
After being enthusiastic with the Liu family for a while, Wei Ming went over to greet: "Sister Xue, A-Ying, Uncle and Auntie."
Gong Gong Yuandong and Zhuang Che nodded. They also knew that Wei Ming had cooperated with the second daughter many times and had a deep relationship. They usually called each other brother and sister. But my A-Ying is also older than you, why don't you call her sister?
A-Long had already proposed at this time: "Uncle and Auntie, why don't you let A-Ming be with us? Anyway, everyone knows each other."
Gong Xue's eldest brother Gong Xu said: "I don't know him yet."
He excitedly held Wei Ming's hand, expressing his reverence for Teacher Wei, followed by his wife, and finally his son. Their family were all fans of Wei Ming. Because of the relationship between Gong Xue and Wei Ming, Wei Ming had even written many autographs for them.
Liu Bin and the others lived directly in the Peace Hotel. With their income, living here was completely no problem.
The table in the private room was very large and could accommodate 20 people. After everyone sat down, they chatted first, and they had to wait for the eldest sister's family.
Wei Ming had met Gong Xue's mother Zhuang Che before. This was the first time he met her father and eldest brother's family.
In addition to paying attention to the third son-in-law A-Long, they were also very curious about Wei Ming. The recent big news about Wei Ming was the American music award nomination, so they were more concerned about whether he would go to the United States.
"If you have time, you should go. I have always felt that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I have read enough books, and the next step is to walk the world."
Gong Ying smiled and looked at her second sister. You just said his roots are in the mainland, and now you want to walk the world. Be careful that you can't keep an eye on him in the future.
Gong Xue's attention has always been on the communication between Wei Ming and her family. Although this is A-Ying's meeting with the in-laws, she also treats this as the first time she brings her boyfriend to meet her parents.
After about an hour, the eldest sister Gong Chen's family also came. In this hour, Liu Bin had already explained his career in Hong Kong clearly. Simply put, the third shareholder of a famous chain fast food brand.
And his son A-Long is the person in charge of a comic book publishing house and the second largest shareholder.
The whole family are talents!
It's just that the big bosses are all surnamed Wei.
After introducing each other, the eldest sister said: "Guess who I met downstairs?"
"Who."
Eldest sister: "That Zhu Lin in the north. Her family conditions are not bad."
Mother Gong Zhuang Che said: "That is Xiao Xue's good friend."
Then Gong Xue looked at Wei Ming and then at Gong Ying.
The protagonists of this dinner party are only Gong Ying and A-Long.
Gong Ying said: "Then please invite her over. I am also very curious about this big star who is as famous as my second sister."
Gong Xue immediately got up: "I'll go call her."
At this time, Zhu Lin was taking out a thermal lunch box from her cloth bag.
She knew that Wei Ming liked the stewed beef here. She thought that in addition to pretending to meet acquaintances and eating together, she could also pack it and take it back. After all, Little Wei is leaving tomorrow, so eat something good for the last meal.
Just ordered food and was waiting, and then saw Gong Xue.
"Hey, why are you here? Are you two dating?" Zhu Lin asked in a low voice.
"You don't know we are here?"
"I don't know. I came to order food and prepare to take it home."
Gong Xue asked: "Already ordered?"
"Ordered."
"Go, tell the waiter and let them send it upstairs. Our family is eating here today."
Zhu Lin: "Family banquet, is it appropriate?"
"He is also here."
Zhu Lin was shocked: "Have you reached this step?!"
Gong Xue: "It's my sister and A-Long's engagement banquet. You two are friends among relatives and friends, belonging to sponging food and drink."
"Ah?"
