Chapter 17 Piracy Beyond Genuine
Chu Yue felt amused and crying. In fact, he really wanted to change himself, and then he became what he is now. Unexpectedly, Gary couldn't understand this, and he was not recognized until he made another reason to be so bad.
However, if you think about it, isn’t the world like this? Society is cold, people are cold, and smiles become a knife hidden in the smile in the eyes of people. What you say when smiling is naturally not enough to make people believe. Moreover, this is a society where everyone is a sheep in wolf’s skin and a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They are used to disguising, and only in this way can they give themselves a sense of security.
Chu Yue cannot be detached from the world, so he still needs to disguise. Whether it is for his parents or friends, everyone has disguise. However, this disguise is not harmful.
After dinner, Long Jiahao went back first. Chu Yue followed Gary's request and took them to buy movie discs and records! Gary and Heli fell in love with Chinese culture under the influence of Chu Yue, especially the Hong Kong films that Chu Yue liked, which even fascinated Gary and Heli, and even made them love the house and the Ughur fall in love with Chinese music.
In fact, it was not easy to buy Chinese videos in the United States, and many videos were not available, or they could not be released in time. However, the only thing that can be comforted is that there are usually some Chinese videos in theaters in Chinatown, whether they are new or old. But that is not a theater, it is more like an activity where overseas Chinese gather together.
Like most Chinese movie fans, Gary's favorite Chinese directors are the masculine Wu Yusen, Du Qifeng, who follows the visual sense route, and Xu Ke, who is also the weird genius, and Lin Lingdong, who is dedicated to reality and cruel routes. The favorite Chinese movie star is of course the supreme Fa Ge!
Hurley is completely different. Her favorite is "Fairy Tale in Autumn". Every time she talks about this drama, she always asks Chu Yue: "Why are they not together, why do they like each other but they refuse to say it!"
What else can Chu Yue do when facing such a problem? Of course, I explained it slowly in the first few times, telling Huli that this is a common characteristic of Chinese people and that they like to restrain their feelings. However, after that, Huli seemed to misunderstand that Chu Yue also liked her, but she was also unwilling or dared to say it out like a bow ruler.
This time, since they came to Hong Kong, they of course had to come and make a good purchase. Chu Yue took them directly to Dendar Shidao, where the entire street is full of audio-visual products, including all kinds of DVDs or CDs, from the oldest to the latest, which are the most complete places in Hong Kong (this is true. If readers want to buy audio-visual products in Hong Kong, they must go there, but beware of being cheated by the underworld).
Dundar Shidao is far from prosperous than shopping paradise areas such as Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. However, don’t underestimate this place. If you want to buy the best and most complete quality discs or records, you can only come here! Therefore, there are many people who come here on weekdays.
Chu Yue directly took them to the shop they were most familiar with. The boss was a middle-aged man. When he saw Chu Yuelai, his eyes narrowed into a slit. Every time Chu Yuelai, he would sweep a lot of goods back, so how could the boss not welcome him?
"Ji Chen, you have the most complete movies here. Take out all the hidden goods!" Chu Yue didn't go to be polite to the boss, and immediately asked the boss to take out the pirated movies. There is no way, many old movies or rare movies can't be bought if they are not pirated.
Chu Yue was not idle and kept recommending or introducing them. The boss next to him smiled and handed Chu Yue a cigarette: "Mr. Chu, you are really a super movie fan. You even know such an unpopular movie!" Chu Yue shook his head and refused cigarettes. Smoking is of great harm to his body. He practiced martial arts for health, so how could he smoke!
Super movie fan? Chu Yue smiled slightly. He could not be called a super movie fan. At least he didn't appreciate many movies before the 1980s. Moreover, he had never appreciated many foreign movies!
After helping the two of them choose, an hour later, they finally picked up about twenty plates. Chu Yue smiled sly and glanced at Gary: "These are all pirated versions, are you sure you want to buy them?" Gary and Hurley were stunned on the spot!
It is impossible to admit that Americans still have a very conscious awareness of intellectual property rights. Gary looked at the video discs he had worked hard in his hand, and there was even a second-hand LD album from Zhang Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye" back then, which made him reluctant to give up. He couldn't help complaining to Chu Yue: "I really don't understand Hong Kong film companies. Why don't they release such good movies? Hollywood always renovates previous movies every year and re-releases!"
Chu Yue smiled bitterly when he heard this. The film company did not want to do this. However, pirated copies are so sharp that even if they are reissued, they can still be extremely impacted by pirated copies. Therefore, nowadays, pirated merchants have taken the initiative to work as distribution companies and actively renovate old films to release pirated copies! However, in addition to being very obvious, these pirated copies can actually be called genuine in terms of quality and level.
Gary and Hurley were reluctant to leave these spoils, so they decided to buy them. Chu Yue took them to visit Tsim Sha Tsui and other places. In this internationally renowned shopping paradise, it would be too unreasonable if they didn't buy anything!
On that night, Chu Yue and four others were enjoying the cool on the terrace, perhaps enjoying the internationally renowned night view of Hong Kong. Speaking of Chu Yue’s current work, he learned that Long Jiahao is the screenwriter. Gary’s eyes lit up and said with great enthusiasm: “Yue, didn’t you like being a director in the past? Why did you become an actor now? Why would you do this? In the future, the script you directed by A Hao will be starring me!"
Gary refers to the past when Chu Yue was not only engaged in bands with Gary, but also often used DVs to make movies. Chu Yue became a director, while Gary became an actor. Of course, such things cannot be of any level, but they are more like interest! Gary's interest in acting was probably completely aroused at that time.
"In fact, I don't think it's that good idea..." Chu Yue shrugged and glanced at the three of them with a smile: "I think I will leave the entertainment industry in two years and two years to do other jobs!"
The Long Jiahao and the other two were shocked and stared at Chu Yue in a daze. Huli couldn't help but get closer to Chu Yue and whispered: "Yue, you are very outstanding, why don't you try to continue acting or being a director? I think Gary will become a good partner!" Gary nodded quickly in agreement.
Chu Yue slowly shook his head. He didn't like others to set positions for himself. He looked up at the sky. A smile was hidden in his tone: "Youngness is a right, and I don't give up my right, so I really long to experience the world and life while I'm young!"
Gary and the other two seemed to hear Chu Yue's yearning and couldn't help but sigh. They also wanted to be like Chu Yue. In fact, everyone had such an idea, even an ideal. However, Chu Yue could abandon all his achievements without hesitation, but they could not.
Everyone is more or less eager to be unrestrained and to completely indulge their own will, but how many people can do this? Sometimes, society and life are not always putting pressure on themselves, but the pressure on themselves is just like a kind of depression.
"You may not know that when I left and increased, I decided to indulge myself and let myself walk aimlessly!" Chu Yue's face was filled with a very charming smile, which even infected the three of them unconsciously smiled: "In that half a year, I went to many places in North America and Europe. After experiencing so many people and things, as long as I want to do, I can do it! So, I just want to do what I want to do!"
"You must have never thought that I want to do something in two years..." Chu Yue smiled treacherously and looked at the three of them: "I want to play football, even if it is just an amateur team, I still long for it. If I can't do what I want to do, then life is actually meaningless!"
After a moment of silence, Gary suddenly sneered and raised his middle finger to Chu Yue: "You guy, you want to do too much, can you do so much? Why don't you be my director..." I think this guy is really stubborn and refuses to give up convincing Chu Yue!
"Of course, making movies is actually a very interesting thing!" Chu Yue's fingers rubbed on his chin, and a strange smile brewed in his face. He remembered some of his insights in the process of filming "The Underworld", and suddenly felt that the charm of making movies might not be inferior to playing football or other things: "Perhaps, I might not know if I try it!"
Next, everyone talked about some other things. Gary was quite interested in Long Jiahao's script, especially after Ah Hao described the general plot. Gary jumped up excitedly: "Long, you are very good. Of course, the more reasonable you make, the more suitable you are for action themes. If I can become famous in Hollywood, I will definitely find you as a screenwriter!"
Before Long Family Hao could feel secretly, Chu Yue's words wiped out the flames in their hearts like cold water: "Gary, you can't even become famous, you still want to help Ah Hao? Don't think too much. With your current image, it will never be easy to get favor!"
Gary himself is indeed a straightforward and a bit bad guy, but he doesn't seem to pay much attention to his style. Chu Yue refers to this point. In fact, Gary himself is still very orthodox and handsome, but this lacks the taste that matches his temperament. With this, the director probably won't choose this weird-looking guy.
Gary and Ah Hao obviously trusted Chu Yue's eyes very much, and they were depressed. Only Huli felt sorry for his brother and kept comforting him. Later, he simply looked at Chu Yue's smirk and said, "Yue, you can definitely help Gary, I know you can!" It seems that in the impression of Heli when he was young, Chu Yue was omnipotent.
Chu Yue's smile suddenly froze. He had originally planned to help Gary change his look. However, now that he was told by Hurley, it would be a little boring. After thinking about it, he looked at Gary carefully, but his mind was quickly dealing with it.
