Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 19
At night, Luo Junyan waited downstairs at sister army’s house.
When Sister Army entered the building, she was shocked, patted her chest and said, “A Jun, what the **** are you doing? You want to scare me to death.”
Luo Junyan said: “Sorry sister army, I just want to ask some questions, can I sit at your house?”
Sister Army glared at him and said, “It’s not convenient, just get into the car.”
The two returned to sister army’s car, and Luo Junyan asked: “Sister army, you told me before that a man left you behind, can you talk more about it?”
Sister Army asked curiously: “What are you talking about? You have a fever?”
Luo Junyan said: “Today, the director of a scene was not satisfied and told me a lot about love, so I didn’t think I could understand it. So just think of the experience that made you unforgettable, let’s talk about it.”
Sister Army said: “It turned out to be here to find feelings. But, I’m sorry, that man is my dad, I can’t help you.”
Luo Junyan said disappointedly: “It turned out to be my dad, speaking like a lover. Then sister army, what kind of man would you fall in love with at first sight?”
Sister Army thought for a while and said: “We have money, status, mature and stable, gentle and considerate, dedicated to love. This is almost the case.”
Luo Junyan nodded and said, “Then sister army, what will you do after you like it?”
Sister Army said: “Wait for him to send flowers, please eat, and drive to and from get off work.”
Luo Junyan said, “Isn’t that ordinary?”
Sister Army said with a smile: “How else? Are women not all chased like this?”
Luo Junyan said: “Then have you imagined a certain object, and then had that feeling of ups and downs? It’s like a child seeing delicious food, that feeling.”
Sister Army tapped the steering wheel with her finger and said, “The heart is ups and downs? What does it feel like? I haven’t experienced it. You play it and show it to me.”
Luo Junyan leaned back in the chair, calmed down, and then started to flip around in sister army’s car.
Sister Army immediately sat upright, pulled his clothes with both hands, and said, “Hey, what are you going crazy? Don’t mess around with my things.”
Luo Junyan turned over a pair of spare stockings in the storage box, and was snatched by the army sister and hid behind him, shouting angrily: “Luo Junyan, you get out of the car right away.”
Luo Junyan found a fruit knife with a sheath and directly pushed the door to get out of the car, leaving the door wide open. Then he ran to the grass next to him, with his back to the car, and squatted there digging with a fruit knife.
Sister Army was so angry that she opened the car door and chased her down, shouting from the side of the grass: “Luo Junyan, you are crazy, I will sue you for harassment.”
Luo Junyan stood up slowly, turned his head to show his profile, and smiled stupidly. Then when sister army stopped talking, and just stood there panting and staring at him, Luo Junyan turned around, holding a small purple wild flower in his left hand, and walked calmly in front of sister army.
The small wild flower in his left hand was brought to the height of sister army’s neck. Luo Junyan held the Zippo lighter in his right hand and lit the flame with a bang. There is still a pile of mud on the roots of Xiaoyehua, and the purple petals sway gently, changing the light and shadow.
Sister Army stared at the small wild flower in the fire, her chest no longer fluctuated, and her whole body instantly calmed down. After watching obediently for a while, she raised her head to look at Luo Junyan, her voice softened a lot, and asked, “Have you learned to smoke?”
Luo Junyan smiled and said, “For my master.”
Then the fire went out, and the two stood quietly in the dark for a while, before the army sister said: “A Jun, you played very well.”
Luo Junyan said: “Thank you, I understand the ups and downs of my heart, and I also understand the innocence.”
The next day, Luo Junyan’s walking scene made Director Zhang addicted to it, until the camera couldn’t hold on, he forgot to call CUT. This classic male protagonist’s one-man show was passed once.
After 27 days, “The Next Stop, Queen of Heaven” came to an end.
In order to keep up with the progress, and the crew who went to Taiwan were still on their way home, the finale banquet was decided to be postponed.
It wasn’t until the end of May that “The Next Stop, Queen of the Day” was finished. In the film, “Walking the Road of Life” and “When Will the Moon Become” were sung by Teresa Teng, and “Blessing” was sung by Luo Junyan. This time the soundtrack was completed by Luo Shaotang, whose skill is far higher than that of Luo Meizi, and sister army specially approved a reward of 50,000 yuan.
After the production of the film was completed, the samples were delivered to Shaw Brothers, who felt very satisfied. Due to the rapid rise in prices in Hong Kong this year, each theater will raise the price of movie tickets once in June. Shaw’s opinion is to avoid the adjustment period for price increases and release them simultaneously in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in mid-July. Hong Kong’s Hong Kong films released during the same period are only slightly famous for Xu Guanying’s first independent role in “Money for Monsters”. “The Next Stop, Queen of Heaven” is released during this time period, and the situation is relatively favorable.
Luo Junyan called Teresa Teng to see the samples as agreed, but Teresa declined. Instead of reviewing the film in person as agreed, she said that she would go to every theater to watch it.
The propaganda work has already begun, and Brother Cheng and Huang Jiadong are very busy. But they all feel sorry for Teresa Teng not being able to attend the premiere. The popularity really depends on others.
Various newspapers and magazines were pretty face-saving this time, and they all reported on the front page of Miss Teresa Teng’s first appearance on the big screen in Hong Kong. Tiantian Daily also interviewed director Zhang Wanting and published some of the highlights of the filming in the entertainment section.
After Sister Army confirmed the publicity and release plan, she didn’t seem to pay attention to the movie she invested heavily in. Brother Cheng and Luo Junyan were very puzzled by her indifferent, but they were helpless.
So what is the army up to now? In fact, she was not entangled in official duties, but two heavyweights approached her at the same time, and each made a difficult request to her. Sister Army needs to make a difficult choice.
The first thing was that the sixth uncle came forward and talked with her frankly and in detail once in person. The chairman of the board of directors of TVB, Li Xiaohe, is critically ill and may pass away at any time. Uncle Liu is determined to win the position of chairman of the board of directors of TVB this time. The meaning of Uncle Six is to promote army as the director of TVB production department, but can no longer retain a private company. The shares of Aggregate Entertainment she holds are purchased by Shaw Brothers, and the acquisition time must be under the “Next Station, Queen of Heaven”. Before painting.
Although Liu Shu’s words are very euphemistic, but Army sister can easily judge that Shaw’s determination to acquire Aggregate Entertainment has been determined. In the final analysis, the sentence is still touching. Because no one expected that the news of “Next Stop, Queen of the Day” was just a simple report in Southeast Asia, which triggered a tsunami-like response, and various theaters were extremely optimistic about box office expectations.
In Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, film companies have already sent staff to Xiangjiang to talk about buying out the screening rights of “The Next Stop, The Queen” in their respective regions. Even Shaw’s secret channels sent back news that American film distributors are paying close attention to the box office situation in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
The second thing is that Guo Buqun, son of the Southeast Asian billionaire Guo Qingsong, hopes to gather entertainment to hide Luo Junyan. Guo Qingsong is known as the hotel emperor. He started from the agricultural trade in Nanyang, and became a fortune in the hotel industry. In Nanyang, he has huge energy.
As for why Guo Buqun wanted to ban such a small person like Luo Junyan? Sister Army also heard some news that Guo Buqun was pursuing Teresa Teng. It’s about the vinegar Haisheng wave, or just go with it. Guo Buqun did not promise any benefits to sister army, but this is often the way to prove that people took a high look at you, and gave you an opportunity to transform into a golden horse.
From a rational point of view, sister army seems to have no choice, and even she can assert that Luo Junyan’s future is set. However, when faced with the most important choice in life, the emotional part is often the key factor that affects the final decision.
In the next few days, whenever sister army was about to make up her mind, a question would appear repeatedly in her mind, and it turned out to be just a topic irrelevant to the overall situation. What will he think of me in the future?
After thinking about it for nearly a month, sister army asked Cheng Cheng who was busy with publicity outside to make an appointment alone.
Brother Cheng drank tea and quietly listened to sister army to finish the matter, and then said: “Army, shopping malls are like battlefields. This time there is a love scene. Even if we choose to fight hard, our chances of winning are not great.”
Sister Army folded her legs, put her hands on her thighs, and had a straight waist. She said, “Brother Cheng, you are one of the shareholders and the general manager of the company, so I asked you to come out to say hello. I am. Planning to transfer the shares of Synergy Entertainment to Lei Juekun of the Golden Princess.”
Brother Cheng was obviously surprised. He lowered his head and looked up at her, and said, “Army, this is not like your usual style. To be honest, I came out to make movies just to make ends meet. Ajun may have a higher level of thinking than me, but It’s also limited. So you really don’t need to take Ajun’s future as a prerequisite for decision-making. It’s better to be sensible and cool. Don’t let the three of us get caught in it. What’s more, Lei Juekun is currently missing a film of his own. The company, but it doesn’t take us too seriously. Recently, there has been a crowd of people in the circle who came to the door.”
Sister Army didn’t speak, she picked up the tea cup and tasted tea elegantly.
Brother Cheng picked up the cigarette case and gestured. Sister Army nodded. Brother Cheng lighted up a cigarette and said: “If you want me to say, I’d better give up the car and save the handsome. We need to buy out the money from Taiwan, Japan and South Korea as soon as possible. If you get it, you can force the other party to approve the box office on the first day of Xiangjiang, and the price can be appropriate. Then Ajun and I will turn our faces with you and drag it to “Next Station, Queen of Heaven” to paint under Xiangjiang and Nanyang, so that things can be done. There is a lot of trouble. Shao still has to face what he does, and will not take the chestnut out of the fire at this time. Army, you strive to get the box office share as soon as possible, and then aggregate the dividends, scatter the money, and leave an empty shell for Shao.”
Sister Army shook her head and said, “Brother Cheng, the mind of Uncle Six is not that simple. Shaw will hold the bargaining chip at the box office, how can he give it away?”
Brother Cheng asked, “Army, what do you think is the real purpose of Shaw’s acquisition and aggregation?”
Sister Army said: “The copyright of “The Next Stop, Queen of Heaven”, the overseas box office benefits,” she said, stopping, thinking for a while, and then asking: “America?”
Brother Cheng nodded and said: “So I always warn my colleagues to look at the world. But the temptation of the American box office dish alone is not big enough. We have to go up and let the other party feel that this table is beautiful and delicious. When I eat it and find that it is not smelling, I can only bite my teeth and swallow.”
Sister Army frowned and said, “Brother Cheng, it is not easy to make the elderly like Xiangjiang feel tempted. They have seen too many temptations.”
Brother Cheng said, “Don’t worry. Army, you just think about how to pick yourself up.”
Sister Army quickly discouraged: “Brother Cheng, you can’t take this risk. You haven’t seen the next trick. The rich family of Xiangjiang will not be willing to suffer. It will be difficult to save your life by then.”
Brother Cheng has heard of the viciousness of the Xiangjiang Society, and at least watched the movie of Young and Dangerous. But since the journey, I haven’t met each other. Hearing this from Army sister, I immediately became a bit vague. Asked: “Army, I heard people say that you have to pay protection fees for making movies. Why have we never encountered a door-to-door fraud?”
Sister Army hesitated and said, “My dad had a bit of status in the arena before he was alive. They should know that my company is making films. Generally, they won’t make troubles. It’s a bit of affection.”
Brother Cheng added another cigarette, frowned, and said, “If you want to get through it, Ah Jun would have to sacrifice a little bit. I will talk to him first and see what he means. He can lay down his face better than I am. Admitting mistakes, begging for mercy, pretending to be garlic, flattering, close-knit, and showing loyalty. He plays this set better than me.”
Sister Army widened her eyes and said, “You master brought out such a villain as Jun?”
Brother Cheng’s expression was a little unnatural, and he defended in a low voice, “We still have to look more at the essence and form, depending on the time and place.”
