Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

"You will be called Xia Meng from now on?"

In the makeshift makeup artist, the chattering Mao Mei was helping Yang Meng put on makeup.

"This name suits you very well."

"A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Mao Mei tilted her head and said with a smile, "Better than mine."

Of course Mao Mei's original name is not this, it's just her nickname.

"But why do you suddenly want to give yourself a stage name?"

Mao Mei didn't know about Xia Meng's three-year agreement with Gao Yao, so she said excitedly: "Do you want to make a movie?"

She looked around, then whispered to Xia Meng: "My father told me that someone recently approached him about cooperation and wanted to open a production company here."

"I'll introduce you then."

"Now, if the good news doesn't go to outsiders, you can also be a big star by then. How great."

Mao Mei's father's name is Yuan Yang'an. He was once a famous baron in Shanghai. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he moved to Hong Kong Island.

We are currently preparing a film company. This company has not yet been named, but a few years later, its name will be officially confirmed as The Great Wall!
Xia Meng couldn't help but pinch Mao Mei's little face: "Sanba, I'm so happy you said that."

"But I have already signed the contract of sale."

"The evil master is coming soon."

She looked pitiful and pitiful, not to mention how distressed she was.

"what?"

Mao Mei was immediately filled with righteous indignation. She looked angrily: "In this bright world, there is such a thing?"

"do not worry."

"When I get back, I'll ask my dad to help you with the lawsuit."

Her father was a member of the Bar Association when he was in Shili Yangchang, so he was definitely a professional in this regard.

"Okay."

Xia Meng giggled and secretly said, "It's Mr. Gao."

There are many people with the surname Gao on Hong Kong Island, but when everyone talks about Mr. Gao, there is only one person.

This title seems to have become exclusive unknowingly!

Mao Mei's two-eyed thug looks like a table tennis ball.

"Okay."

She angrily scratched Xia Meng's waist: "You dare to shake me, little hoof."

The whole world knows that Mr. Gao has a noble character, so how could he do such a thing?
Xia Meng begged for mercy: "Okay, okay."

"The makeup will be gone later, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

The two little heads came together and whispered.

"Ah? Mr. Gao also wants to take pictures..."

Xia Meng covered Mao Mei's mouth: "Ba Po, does your mouth have to be so big?"

"Hurry up, it will be someone else's turn later."

Joan of Arc has a total of 6 scenes and an epilogue, which requires a large number of actors.

Xia Meng, who is not the protagonist, often has to take turns to make up the numbers.

Mao Mei smiled and nodded: "I will definitely give you a beautiful painting, and then let Mr. Gao see you when you are most energetic."

A glance at Xia Mengfei revealed that although she was only in her prime years, she was already very charming in her movements.

At this glance, Akira's Mao Mei covered her chest: "Oops, I was hit by Cupid's arrow."

"If I were a man, I would go to your house to propose marriage right now."

"I know, washboard."

The angry girl almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. She yelled: "You cow, let's see how I deal with you."

Xia Meng, who was in high spirits after cleaning up, saw Gao Yao as soon as he stepped on the stage. He had no choice but to sit in the most prime position, and with the three ladies beside him, he was the most beautiful in the audience.

Xia Meng gritted her teeth angrily. He was a scumbag and even brought his three wives over to watch him dance.

The high officials in the audience also noticed Xia Meng. There was no way, a woman who could be called Oriental Hepburn, a woman who could make Jackal Yong dream about her and even get it in books if she couldn't get it, her style was really eye-catching.

As soon as Xia Meng appeared, the whole place became a little commotion.

Bai Yuechang couldn't help but said: "Hubby, this girl is very upright."

"She will definitely be a tall beauty when she grows up."

In fact, according to the environment at the time, Xia Meng was already an adult...

Gao Yao chuckled: "Not bad."

Li Wanhua couldn't help but glance at her. She looked at the stage again. Something was wrong. This little girl's eyes kept drifting to her side.

She doesn't think it's about looking at herself, so she can only look at Darling?

Oh!
Li Wanhua thought to himself that Dady was right, women love beauty, while men love beautiful women...

As soon as Xia Meng appeared, she couldn't help but become the focus of the audience.

The young girl's dance steps are as light as a butterfly, and her figure is as graceful as flying in the sky.

Li Wanhua had to admit that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This little girl is really a beauty. If she were in Haojiang, the crown of the most beautiful woman would be hers.

"I think she will be playing Joan of Arc next year."

Bai Yuechang and Axia also nodded. Bai Yuechang said with emotion: "She is beautiful and her acting is brilliant."

"What a beauty. I don't know who will be able to take this beauty home in the future."

As soon as these words came out, A Xia and Li Wanhua beside them both had smiles on their lips.

Who else?
That is to say, Bai Yuechang was too stupid to see it.

The whole audience was applauding, and Gao Yaodeng felt a little proud. His own vision was indeed good, and it was no wonder that this Xia Meng would become a new generation of movie queen in the future.

From the current point of view, this figure, this appearance, and this acting skills are simply amazing.

"I signed a contract with her."

Gao Yao raised his eyebrows: "When she graduates, she will go to Clear Water Bay to film."

Real hammer!
Axia and Li Wanhua looked at each other, then silently looked away.

Bai Yuechang made a sound, and said secretly: "Husband, you have such a sharp eye that you can discover such a good seedling."

Bai Yuechang thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "She will definitely be popular."

If Gao Yao smiles, can he not become red...

It’s so red and purple!
This is the eldest princess of the Great Wall, the absolute queen of movies before the 70s, and the dream lover of countless people’s midnight dreams.

Xia Meng, who had danced for a while, went off again. She was now a purely supporting role and had to give up the opportunity to the protagonist.

"Wow."

Mao Mei's eyes were filled with tears: "Baby, you dance so beautifully."

Xia Meng thought it was not beautiful enough, otherwise Mr. Gao would have been looking at her.

"By the way, have you seen Mr. Gao?"

Mao Mei just doesn't pick up the pot.

Xia Meng was speechless: "You see, sitting in the middle, the whole family is out."

"Oh…"

Sister Mao remembered it and said secretly: "Damn imperialism, the Qing Dynasty is actually implemented here."

"I heard that Mr. Gao asked for three houses in a row within a year."

Mao Mei shook her head repeatedly: "Keep a respectful distance, a respectful distance."

After all, she has been baptized by culture and values ​​women's independence. Mao Mei's wish is to be together for the rest of her life.

Xia Meng felt as if her five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. She felt that no one was perfect these days.

The perfect hero described in books does not exist.

Heroes like Mr. Gao are actually very beautiful.

Xia Meng then thought again, if he wasn't good at beauty, how could Mr. Gao sign her?

Thinking of this, she immediately became more motivated.

"Honey, my makeup is a little off."

"Please help me." When Xia Meng came on stage for the second time, she was as beautiful as a swan.

Li Wanhua sighed with emotion, although this little girl is young, she has a lot of thoughts. This is the appearance of a woman who wants to please herself.

But Bai Yuechang said fairly: "The little girl is like a beauty, husband, the movies she makes must be very popular."

At that time, the film and television industry was in a state of yin and yang decline, and they were following the heroine route.

Talents like Xia Meng, if someone is willing to spend money, have a high probability of becoming popular.

Gao Yao didn't care, he was purely public-minded, and he was absolutely appreciating the entire opera.

In the current era, this kind of stage play is absolutely elegant and enjoyable.

Gao Yao has only one feeling. He is really incredible at such a young age. No wonder he will overwhelm all sentient beings in the future.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Xiao Jin again. He wondered if this guy had come to Hong Kong?
It seems like I'll have to check it out personally when I get back later.

The iron stage, the flowing summer dream.

This little girl plays almost the entire scene. Although she is a glimpse every time she appears, she is enough to attract people's attention.

Bai Yuechang praised her endlessly: "The little girl has performed beautifully every time. It's really amazing."

The drama was already in despair, so Gao Yao called his younger brother to write down a note and hand it over, and then left with his three wives.

Xia Meng was worrying about gains and losses backstage. She had an intuition that Mr. Gao would not come to see her.

It’s a shame that I danced so hard.

Men are big hooves.

Seeing that Xia Meng's mood seemed a little low, Sister Mao comforted her and said, "Are you tired?"

"Come on, let's go shopping."

“There is a big shopping spree for the New Year right now, and there are a lot of new things.”

"Go ahead."

Xia Meng was a little listless.

"Is Miss Xia Meng here?"

Xia Meng suddenly raised her head. There were only two people in the world who knew her name was Xia Meng.

One is the Mao girl in front of me, and the other is Mr. Gao.

It was a passerby who came. He finally found Xia Meng and handed over a note: "Mr. Gao gave it to you."

Xia Meng felt like she had found a treasure, and she couldn't wait to open the note. There were only three words on it, "Good dance."

The haze cleared away.

Xia Meng's whole body immediately brightened up. Men are like pigs, they are obviously looking at her but deliberately pretend not to look at her.

There are ghosts, there are definitely ghosts!
"Hey?"

Mao Mei was confused.

It's weird.

Although I was as depressed as a defeated rooster before, why did I suddenly feel as proud as a peacock?

"What did Mr. Gao tell you?"

The curious Mao girl poked her head around and said, "Oh, you little hooves, show me."

Xia Meng put away the note immediately, then ran away with a giggle: "Are you going shopping?"

"If not, I'm going home."

……

On the other side, Gao Yao threw the three wives into Central and asked them to go shopping and be happy on their own, while he himself found Sun Liren.

Yuanfang Daily is currently preparing to move to Clear Water Bay. It will have a branch on Des Voeux Road in the future. It has been busy with the relocation these days.

When Gao Yao arrived, there was almost no place to stand.

Sun Liren finally squeezed out of the office. It was impossible to talk in this place, so the two went outside and stood on the street chatting.

"Ta Kung Pao?"

Sun Liren said: "What a coincidence, boss."

"Hu Zhengzhi, Fei Yimin, Li Xiawen and others just arrived in Hong Kong yesterday and are currently preparing for the resumption of publication of the Hong Kong edition of Ta Kung Pao."

Hu Zhengzhi is the current head of Ta Kung Pao. Unexpectedly, he personally led a team to Hong Kong to preside over the resumption of publication.

Gao Yao thought that this would be troublesome. The Hong Kong version of Ta Kung Pao might not be willing to merge with Yuanfang Daily.

Sun Liren also thinks so. Grand Duke registration is well known at home and abroad, and there is currently no shortage of funds.

In 41, it was selected as the best foreign newspaper of the year by the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri in the United States and received the Medal of Honor.

In the past few years, any major event has been published in Ta Kung Pao first.

"boss."

Sun Liren felt that Gao Yao was not here for Ta Kung Pao, so he asked: "Do you have to buy the Hong Kong version of Ta Kung Pao?"

No one has resumed publication, and they even talked about buying it for a small fee.

Gao Yao coughed and said, "Actually, I was reading "Great Parkland" earlier and was quite interested in one of the editors who wrote "Zi Bian Qi Shu Lu"."

There is an article in "Zi Bian Qi Shuo Lu" that a local newspaper was deeply dissatisfied with the local city council, so it published an editorial with the title: "Half of the members of the council are hooligans!"

There was an outcry from the public, and the parliament asked the newspaper to correct it.

The newspaper agreed to correct it, and the next day the editorial headline read: "Half of the members of Parliament are not hooligans!"

Speaking of this, Sun Liren laughed: "It's the editor Charlie."

Charlie was one of Mr. King's many pseudonyms in newspapers at the time.

Sun Liren said: "It turns out that the boss has a keen eye for recognizing talents."

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to find Reporter Hu to see if he can cut me off."

At that time, everyone at Ta Kung Pao, whether they were the boss, editor-in-chief, or editors below, were all called reporters to the outside world.

That's why Sun Liren said this.

"well."

Gao Yao smiled and said: "You must try your best. I like his literary talent."

In fact, Gao Yao also admired Xiao Jin's management ability.

This is the only person in Hong Kong who has become a rich man from scratch by relying on the newspaper industry. He has a very strong pen.

Sun Liren knows a lot, and his boss is eager for talents, which is a good thing.

Anyway, when people come, they must come to report from afar.

Then he said happily: "Boss, don't worry, I'll tie him up too!"

Gao Yaodeng burst out laughing and said, "Why do you think you'll move here a year ago?"

Sun Liren grinned: "As reporters, we don't care about holidays."

"The equipment of the printing factory over there has already started to be installed."

"Although it's a little out of the way, the venue is complete and there are dormitories, so everyone is okay with it."

"As for the electricity, I asked the third sister, and she said that the electricity must be turned on before we move there."

Sun Liren said with joy, "There is a beach there. You can go to the sea and play in the water when you are free. These guys are eager to go there early."

Gao Yao laughed: "Okay, then I don't care."

"Anyway, Mr. Gao is here. If you need anything to eat and have fun, just look for him."

Gao Bin is still the foreman under Gao Yao, but his wife Cai Shuimei is different, and she is prospering.

It is said that he has taken over the food procurement, clothing and other sales of all the military camps in Kowloon, and even Gao Jin has benefited from it.

With the help of Cai Shuimei, his subordinate Li Aji successfully established a relationship with the quartermaster in Kowloon. It is said that the relationship has penetrated into the Allied Forces Base in the Pacific in Amilikan.

This business is getting more and more prosperous.

"Get it, get it."

Sun Liren's eyebrows were almost invisible when he smiled. This was also the reason why he was willing to move the venue there years ago.

The venue has complete facilities and accommodation, and your stomach will definitely be filled.

At times like this, it's simply heaven.

"Okay, we will open a salon in Hong Kong tomorrow."

Gao Yao smiled and said: "The Hu reporter you mentioned should also come over, so we can talk about it." (End of Chapter)
