Chapter 66 Waiting
Chen Chong was wearing a baseball cap, a short-sleeved shirt and beach pants with colorful patterns, as if a playboy coming to Hong Kong to travel. He was holding an ice cream and sat on the sofa in the VIp waiting room of Kai Tak Airport, watching TV, and Zhang Aijia sat aside to watch the just-published "Vanity Fair" today, with a special report on three people's scandals.
"I'll come here to find your director to avenge your master, and leave, leave, go"
Although I have seen it many times, Chen Chong still felt very happy when he saw Bruce Lee punching and kicking, and Yu Jingluo knocked down several Japanese people neatly. He ate a bite of ice cream and asked Aijia Zhang: "Have you ever seen Bruce Lee when you were working in Jiahe?"
"Of course I've seen him, but I know him, but he doesn't know me." Zhang Aijia looked up and watched TV and said, "When I went to Jiahe, he was a super star. He lived in a villa outside. I was a newcomer and could only live in Jiahe's dormitory. However, the room I lived in back then was said to have also lived in Bruce Lee."
"Is that right?" Chen Chong was intrigued and said, "When will you take me to see what your boudoir looked like back then."
"It's just a dormitory, small and old, very ordinary." Zhang Aijia gave him a blank look and said, "There has been demolished there long ago. Hong Kong's housing prices are so expensive now that Jiahe no longer provides dormitories."
"What a pity." Chen Chong looked at her frowning slightly and wanted to speak but stopped, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Aijia closed the magazine, hesitant and said softly: "I was young and ignorant before, and I had a few relationships. If... if the media dug up my past, would you be angry?"
"Didn't I say it? The sea of people is vast and fate is hard to find." Chen Chong waved his hand and said, "No one has to be responsible for anyone before you and I meet, so why bother thinking too much."
Zhang Aijia bit his lip, looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, picked up the magazine again, looked down, and Chen Chong continued to chew on the ice cream to watch TV. There was only Bruce Lee's unique shouting in the room.
After the "Jingwumen" was played, Chen Chong stood up, threw the wooden sign that he had held for a long time, moved casually in the room for a few times, then sat back on the sofa and continued watching TV.
Businessmen are all the owners who don’t show off their eagles. Jiayi TV has just started broadcasting, and the ratings are unknown, so there are few advertisements, only a few related users such as Sony aIkmau and Ga game consoles. Therefore, the advertising time passed quickly and the official program began to be played.
""Face to Face" reveals the story behind the scenes of the film stage. Hello everyone, I am Chen Xiuwen. We will interview the crew of "Die Hard" in this episode. Everyone knows that "Die Hard" is a blockbuster film jointly by Oriental Charm and Jiahe. It has attracted much attention since the day it started..."
Chen Chong and H had a gentleman agreement, which was difficult to poach, but he and Li's TV had never signed any agreement. The TV station was invented and lacked talents, so he encouraged Zhou Liangshuyi to poach Li's TV corner. Zhou Liangshuyi has always been famous for her interpersonal skills and is good at poaching. When she was the general manager of Asia TV in the late RU era, even a super veteran like Shen Dianxia could dig over it. At this time, it was a piece of cake to dig up Li's TV's storm. She dug up Li's TV's tomorrow star Chen Xiuwen.
In 1978, Chen Xiuwen, who was only 16 years old, was admitted to Li's TV artist training. In 1979, she was appreciated by Li Xiaotian and recommended that she sing the theme song of the same name for the highlight "The Legend of the Rogue" adapted from "Chu Liuxiang". In the same year, she started hosting a children's program "Striking Time". This program quickly became Li's highest-rated column. Soon after, Li's TV asked her to host an adult chat program "Owl Time", which was broadcast at midnight. It was very popular and was the favorite of Night Owl audiences.
After reading the resume, Chen Chong had no impression of Chen Xiuwen, but as soon as he saw the real person, he immediately recognized him. Zhou Liang Shuyi had extraordinary vision and dug up a treasure. This Chen Xiuwen was one of the leading actresses in the Hong Kong TV circle in the mid-1990s. She starred in classic TV series such as "Trial No. 1", "All Lover", "Goodbye Sunny Sky", and "Mu Guiying". She was very popular at the time. If it weren't for the repeated accidents in the family later, which dragged down her career, her achievements would have been higher.
"Director Wu, since the release of the shooting plan of "Die Hard", people have been speculating why Mr. Chen designated you to shoot "Die Hard". Now that the filming of the movie has ended, can you tell us the reason?"
"Actually, I don't know either." Wu Johnson is not good at speaking in public. He replied simply: "Mr. Chen has never said it."
"Then haven't you asked him?"
"No, I don't want to ask, nor dare to ask." Wu Johnson smiled shyly and honestly, and said: "It's my dream to shoot "The Legend of the Dragon". It's a great honor and lucky to get this opportunity. I just think about how to make this movie well, and I don't think much about it."
"Why don't you dare to ask?"
"Because Uu is scared." Chen Xinjian, who was sitting next to Wu Johnson, teased with a smile and said, "You think, if you go and ask, what if Mr. Chen says, "Oh, yes, why should I choose you? Then kick him out and change someone else, wouldn't it be miserable?"
The audience who switched the camera to the studio were laughing.
"Screenwriter Chen, since you say that, you must know why Mr. Chen chose Director Wu to film "Die Hard"? After all, this is a big production with an investment of up to tens of millions of dollars. It is impossible to just choose a director."
"I don't know either. I can only say that Mr. Chen is very good at identifying people. uu, don't be angry when I say this. Before the filming is started, everyone, including me, is not optimistic about you, but after the filming is finished, everyone is very convinced and thinks you are the most suitable director in Hong Kong to film this movie."
John Woo waved his hand and said, "Actually, I didn't care about myself before the computer was turned on."
"In fact, it's not just that Director Wu doesn't care about himself, I can say that everyone in our crew doesn't care about himself." Sammo Hung said, "Why? Because Hong Kong has never made such a big investment movie, the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong, and it's only over 10UU, and a $10UU investment, how much box office will be needed to make a profit? There are so many things that we have never filmed, such as building bombing, aerial photography of helicopters, and many fighting scenes, which are completely different from before..."
Several main creators talked about the behind-the-scenes story of "Die Hard". In his words, he admired Chen Chong very much, which made him very satisfied and enjoyed watching it.
Zhang Aijia suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see Yamaguchi Momoe?"
"This interview is divided into two episodes. Yamaguchi Momoe is so popular. The TV station has made an episode for her alone." Chen Chong looked at her and said, "Do you like her too?"
"What do I like about her?" Zhang Aijia showed an indifferent expression and asked again: "When will "The Viagra" be released?"
"Next weekend." Chen Chong crossed his legs and said carelessly: "First premiere in Hong Kong, then next weekend to Japan, and then wait until mid-July before premiering in North America."
"Why is the United States so late?"
"Because people all over the United States are watching Star Wars." Chen Chong explained: "After Star Wars, Fox also has a comedy starring Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda is the daughter of a famous family, two-time Oscar winner, and has a very high popularity in the United States. "Die Hard" cannot compete with her, so she has to move back and wait until it is released in mid-July."
"When the Japanese premiere, would you go?"
"Maybe I will go, but I can't say it right now. What's wrong? You're going to Japan too?"
"I won't go." Zhang Aijia looked at him, and after a long time, she said, "I want to buy a house in Hong Kong."
Chen Chong turned his head, looked at her, and then said, "Where are you planning to buy it?"
"Just here." Zhang Aijia put up a magazine and showed the advertisement on it, saying: "It looks good."
“Stanley Seaview Villa?”
"Yes, I think it's very beautiful, close to the sea and there are beaches nearby, a bit like the villa you have in Los Angeles, but it's much smaller."
Although Chen Chong knew that Stanley was one of the high-end residential communities in Hong Kong, he had never been there after traveling through time. The description of Stanley Prison in Hong Kong movies in his previous life was too profound, which made him dislike it. So he took the magazine, looked carefully, and frowned and said, "The sea view of Stanley is beautiful, but it is a bit too remote, right?"
"It's not too far. It's only a dozen minutes to drive to Central."
Chen Chong opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say. Zhang Aijia wanted to buy a house in Hong Kong, and obviously decided to stay with him forever. However, Hong Kong's environment is elegant and quiet, and it can guarantee privacy. There are only a few places. Half of the mountain is Lee Kaiyuan's territory. It is difficult for her to live too close to her. Repulse Bay is occupied by major families, so it has high-quality beaches and is surrounded by Stanley villa areas where British people live, which has become an ideal choice.
"Since you like it, buy it." Chen Chong returned the magazine to her and said, "Do you want me to help me?"
"No," Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "I can make money now. As long as I accept two advertisements, I can pay the down payment."
"Okay, you go and buy it yourself." Chen Chong said shamelessly: "Anyway, I am a soft meal, accompanying the Cowherd, eating, living and sleeping."
"I bought the house myself, and I have to keep you all the other things." Zhang Aijia said with charming eyes: "Rouge, water, gold, silver, jewelry, fur bags, everything is not missing. I want to be a wealthy wife."
