"Affected by the war in the 1930s and 1940s, a large number of literati from the mainland crossed south to Xiangjiang. Later, China won the war. Some literati returned to the mainland, some went abroad, and some stayed in Xiangjiang. Those who stayed in Hong Kong

Among this group of literati, Liu Yichang is one of the few people who can integrate his talents into Hong Kong society.",,

"He has successively served as editor, editor-in-chief, and editor-in-chief of newspapers and magazines such as "Hong Kong Times", "Sing Tao Weekly", "West Point", "Yi Shi Bao", "Federal Daily News", "Hong Kong Times - Repulse Bay", "Sing Tao Daily. City Hall", etc.

His position is that he is a famous newspaper reporter in Hong Kong.",,

"At the same time, he has also produced many creative achievements, the most famous of which are the novels "The Drunkard" and "The Pair".",,

"The king of sunglasses, a generation of literary youth, is his loyal believer. "In the Mood for Love" and "2046" were inspired by these two novels.",,

In 1985, he founded the monthly "Hong Kong Literature", which has grown to become the most influential local literary magazine in Hong Kong."

"Bringing together the works of writers who had never interacted with each other due to their political differences not only brought a fresh breath of fresh air to the literary world, but also brought him great fame in the Hong Kong literary world.",,

At this time, he published an article in the newspaper and praised Lin Chaoyang as "a sincere and good doctor in Hong Kong society", and even bluntly said, "It is difficult for us to flatter him", which invisibly added a wave of influence to "Parasite".

heat.",,

"In this way, as soon as "Parasite" was released, it swept the Hong Kong literary world and the vast readership group by storm.",,

"Such terrifying energy stems not only from the excellence of the novel itself, but also from Lin Chaoyang's accumulation of monuments in the past few years and the honor that "The Truman Show" has won for Hong Kong society overseas.",

"Two years ago, when the Hong Kong literary circles and readers mentioned Lin Chaoyang, they would always label him as a "mainland writer". But since this year, this kind of reference has become less and less, and more and more

People in Xiangjiang regard Lin Chaoyang as one of their own.",,

"It's like your family discovers that there is an awesome person with the same surname. It's obviously impossible to fight, but there will always be people trying to connect the awesome person to their family tree to show their own awesomeness.",,

"In addition to Lin Chaoyang, the screenwriter and original author, who benefited from this, so did everyone else who participated in "The Truman Show."

"Of course the one who benefited the most is Xu Guanwen, who won the Best Actor Award at Cannes.",,

"In the more than half a year since he won the Best Actor Award at Cannes, he has not taken any roles. There are several reasons.",,

"First of all, I was sucked into the stomach by "The Truman Show", and ordinary scripts are simply not worth it;",,

"The second reason is that he wants to wait for Lin Chaoyang's new works. Unlike Jiahe and Xinyi City who are only interested in profit, Xu Guanwen's pictures are famous.",,

"During this period, he would contact Lin Chaoyang from time to time. Although there has been no news about Lin Chaoyang's new works, he is still willing to wait.",,

"As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, you will have to wait for three years if you open.",,

"Lin Chaoyang's new work is worth waiting for.",,

"The third reason is a truth that Xu Guanwen gradually realized a few months after winning the award.",,

"When he returned with great honor, he almost became a hero in the city of Xiangjiang. Everywhere he went, he was greeted with roaring applause, warm and amiable smiles, and the olive branches offered by major film companies made him flawlessly considerate.

.",,

"But as time went by and he didn't accept the role, the enthusiasm of the film companies and colleagues waned.",,

"Only every time he takes to the streets, many people still cheer and shout for him.",,

"Xu Guanwen keenly discovered that the cheers and shouts of these people had more respect and admiration than the pursuit of popular stars. Later at a party, his friend Cai Lan's words suddenly awakened him.",,

"Cai Lam said that as the first Cannes Best Actor in the Hong Kong film industry, he is now not only an actor and star, but half an artist.",,

"In a city like Xiangjiang that pursues material desires, the word "artist" is rare, and it is precisely because of its rarity that it is even more valuable. The reason why Cai Lam said that he is "half an artist" is because Xu Guanwen

Now there is only one "The Truman Show" available.",,

"If Bruce Lee only had one "Tangshan Brother" back then, he would hardly be called a kung fu superstar. He would be like Luo Lie, a short-lived flash in the pan. Under such circumstances, Xu Guanwen had two choices.",,

One is to take advantage of the popularity and offer a sky-high salary to make a fortune by taking on roles.

The other is to wait patiently, waiting for an opportunity that truly transcends the status of an actor and a star. And this opportunity, both Cai Lam and Xu Guanwen understand, will definitely fall on Lin Chaoyang.

"Parasite" was published two days ago, and Xu Guanwen went to the bookstore early in the morning to buy back the novel.

After spending two days and staying up all night to read it, the excitement in his heart was indescribable. He knew that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. He didn't even have time to catch up on himself, so he dialed Lin Chaoyang's home phone number, but the phone number

But no one answered.

Xu Guanwen was so anxious that he couldn't help himself. He ran to Jiahui Garden in the middle of the mountain with a pair of dark circles to visit Lin Chaoyang, but he was in vain.

He had no choice but to go to Lin's Film Company again. After arriving at the company, he learned that Lin Chaoyang and his wife had gone back to the mainland to celebrate the New Year and would not be able to come back until after the New Year. Xu Guanwen was filled with disappointment and was about to leave when he bumped into someone who had returned from outside.

Tao Yumo.

Tao Yumo greeted him, and Xu Guanwen asked, "Aren't you going back to the mainland?"

"I'm going back, but I have to wait for the company's holiday to pay for my air ticket the day after tomorrow. Brother Michael, why did you come to the company to do something?" "It's nothing."

Lin Chaoyang was not here, Xu Guanwen's interest was waning, and he didn't want to say anything more. He just hoped that Lin Chaoyang would come back soon.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Tao Yumo put a smile on his face and asked: "Let me guess, have you taken a fancy to my brother-in-law's new novel and want to adapt it?" Xu Guanwen smiled bitterly. Tao Yumo was Lin Chaoyang's relative.

This little thought can be hidden from others but not from her.

"Yes." Xu Guanwen said truthfully.

Tao Yumo guessed what he was thinking, with a look on his face, and then said: "My brother-in-law said before he left, we will wait until after the New Year." Hearing this sentence, Xu Guanwen was elated, knowing that his more than half a year of waiting was finally over.

There is no waiting in vain.

"Okay, okay, let's wait until after the Chinese New Year." Xu Guanwen happily left Lin's Pictures.

Tao Yumo looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

She has followed her sister and brother-in-law to Xiangjiang for almost two years. She is already familiar with the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. Naturally, she knows Xu Guanwen's current fame and status in Xiangjiang. But for such a big star, her brother-in-law's words can control him.

of joy and anger

, Expectation, this was completely beyond Tao Yumo’s imagination when he first came to Xiangjiang. After staying at Lin’s for half a day, Tao Yumo went to a coffee shop near Harbor City after get off work and waited for more than half an hour before seeing him. Maggie Cheung appeared wearing sunglasses.

At this time, she had hunched shoulders, a gray face, and no appearance of a female star. She seemed like a walking corpse that had been drained of her vitality by part-time work. "Why are you here!" As soon as Maggie Cheung sat down, Tao Yumo complained.

"Hey, eldest sister, I want to film a movie! Do you think everyone is like you and can eat, drink and have fun every day?" Maggie Cheung retorted weakly. "What do you mean I eat, drink and have fun every day? My work is also very busy, okay?

?”

"Yes, yes, you are the busiest, busy eating, drinking and having fun."

The two little sisters had a verbal quarrel, but Tao Yumo couldn't defeat Maggie Cheung, so he planned to teach her a lesson. But as soon as she touched Maggie Cheung's shoulder, the other party burst out screaming.

!

Tao Yumo was startled, "Hey, I just touched you."

"Sister, do you know that I have been hanging up my Wia for a whole day today!"

Maggie Cheung's face was full of pain, which made Tao Yumo feel a little embarrassed. She gently rubbed the place where she had just touched and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Nonsense, of course it hurts! Try hanging it up for a day."

Maggie Cheung's tone was impatient, but her expression showed that she was enjoying her touch, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes and get closer.

Tao Yumo complained again: "Who told you to accept action movies? You are asking for trouble."

"What if I don't accept an action movie? Ask Sister Yu to open a drama for me."

"You didn't accept "Best Friend" yourself, and now you blame me and my sister?"

"What's the difference between that drama and "Hardcover Chasing Girls"? When I went there, I was treated as a vase."

"So you are asking for trouble.

Defeated by Tao Yumo's logic, Maggie Cheung snorted and simply leaned on her shoulder.

"You're like this and you still want to go on a river cruise with me?"

"You risk your life to accompany a gentleman. Aren't you going back to the mainland soon?"

Maggie Cheung's words made Tao Yumo feel a bit of sisterly love, and she said: "Forget it, I won't go today, go back and rest early."

Seeing this, Maggie Cheung took the next step and nuzzled her in her arms.

"Sister Yushu and brother-in-law are not here, can you let me go and see the night view of the mountain?"

Tao Yumo readily agreed.

After arriving at Jiahui Garden, Maggie Cheung stood on the terrace overlooking the scenery of the entire Victoria Harbor. She couldn't help but spread her arms and shouted. "Wow! The scenery of the mid-level mansion is really different. When can I afford such a mansion?"

ah!"

"Isn't it easy for you to buy? Just accept a few more movies and two years will be enough."

Maggie Cheung turned to look at Tao Yumo, with an expression on her face as if you, the eldest lady, don't know the sufferings of the world.

"How many more movies do you accept? Do you think I am Chow Yun-fat or Chung Chu-hong? Don't you need to spend the money you make? I don't even have one million in my bank account now!" Tao Yumo couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this, woman

, what on earth are you talking about?

"Not even one million? How can you have the nerve to say such a thing? It's such a hard life for a star like you, what do you want those working people to do?" Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, Maggie Cheung hugged Tao Yumo's shoulders.

behave in a spoiled manner.

"The view is so nice, let's drink some wine."

"It's okay to drink, but don't act drunk."

“I’m a good drinker!
