Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 8

Zhang Minyi wiped the tears from her eyes and said sincerely: "Yang Sheng, on behalf of the citizens, I want to thank you for writing this song to inspire everyone."

Yang Ye said modestly: "Recently I have seen many people lose hope in life, so I want to do something within my power. It's a pity that a song can't change anything."

Zhang Minyi shook her head and said: "Music is a spiritual force that can guide people forward in adversity. I hope to buy this song, broadcast it on Radio Hong Kong, and set it as the theme song of "Under the Lion Rock". "

Yang Ye said happily: "That's great, it's my honor."

Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "Then we can start talking about the price. How much does Yang Sheng want us to pay for your song?"

Yang Ye scratched his head and said with some confusion: "This... I don't understand the market either. This is my first time selling songs."

Zhang Minyi said a little funny: "You are too naive. Don't you want to inquire about the market price before selling songs? What if I lie to you?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said seriously: "If you can produce a program like "Under the Lion Rock", you must be a conscientious TV person. You can't."

This lick touched Zhang Minyi's heart, which made her feel happy. She smiled and said: "Since you said that I am a conscientious TV person, I won't cheat you. On behalf of the radio station, I will buy your song for 2000 yuan." , do you think it’s okay? This is a price that only Huang Zhan can get.”

Yang Ye didn't bargain. He pretended to be excited, rubbed his hands and said, "That's such an honor. I wonder if Ms. Zhang are free after get off work? I would like to treat you to a casual meal to express my gratitude."

Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "I just bought your song at a high price, and you treat me to dinner later. This is suspected of bribery."

Yang Ye quickly waved his hands and said nervously: "No, no... I don't mean that. I just feel a little excited that the songs I wrote are appreciated by others. If that's the case, then I won't invite you."

Zhang Minyi had quite a fondness for this "enthusiastic" and "frank" young handsome boy. She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Although I can't accept you inviting me to dinner, we can do it together."

Seeing Yang Ye's unresponsiveness, she found it even more interesting and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, we can be friends."

"Making friends? That would be great!" Yang Ye finally "reacted" with a bright face.He really looks like a sunny boy with clear eyes and no scheming.

Yang Ye is only 20 years old this year, and Zhang Minyi finds it interesting that he doesn't know how dangerous the world is.She asked: "I heard from Pan Sheng that you serialized novels in Ming Pao?"

Yang Ye scratched his head and continued to act stupid: "Actually, I just imitated Mr. Jin Yong in writing for fun. Pan Sheng thought that I imitated him very much, so he accepted my novel."

"That's pretty awesome. He can write songs and novels. He's such a talent!"

The two chatted for a while, and when it was time for lunch, they went downstairs together. Yang Ye said, "I'm going to ride a bike. Where should we go to eat?"

Zhang Minyi shook her head and said, "We don't have enough time at noon, so we can just have a working meal at a nearby food stall."

"Okay then!" Yang Ye didn't insist.

The two of them left the radio station building and ordered roast goose rice for two customers at the food stall. They ate and chatted casually.

Zhang Minyi couldn't help being shocked when she heard that Yang Ye was born in Kowloon Walled City.

That place... was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and neither black nor white dared to enter easily.This little handsome boy actually grew up in that kind of place?

"My grandparents left a building, and I lived by collecting rent. When I was bored, I read and played the piano. In fact, the people living in the walled city were poor people at the bottom. Everyone just wanted to beg for food, and there were no rumors from the outside world. So terrifying." Yang Ye explained.

Zhang Minyi thought Yang Ye was very innocent at first and was willing to make friends with him.

Hearing that Yang Ye was born in Kowloon Walled City, he was somewhat repelled.

But seeing Yang Ye telling the truth frankly and not hiding anything, he felt a little hesitant.

Yang Ye didn't seem to notice Zhang Minyi's reaction, and kept talking to himself about some interesting things.After the two of them finished eating, Yang Ye sent Zhang Minyi back to the company and picked up the car by himself.

After leaving the food stall, Yang Ye saw a newsstand on the roadside. Thinking that the novel had been published and he hadn't read it yet, he walked over and said, "Uncle, let's get a copy of Ming Pao."

The man at the newsstand raised his eyebrows: "Sold out!"

"Ah, sold out?"

"Yes, the novels serialized in Mingpao these days are very exciting, and they are not enough to sell. I will sell more goods tomorrow."

"What novel is so good?" Yang Ye asked knowingly.

""The Iron-Blooded Prodigy" was written by a person named Yang Ye. I also read it, and I was really optimistic about it. Many people said that this was due to the decline in sales of "Ming Pao", and Jin Yong was not able to cope with it, but he had announced that he would cease writing last year, which is not good I broke my promise. I had to change my pen name to cover my ears."

"That's right, then I have to buy a copy and take a look tomorrow."

Yang Ye left the newsstand and saw Zhang Minyi looking at him with a half-smile, and said awkwardly: "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhang Minyi smiled and said: "It seems that your novel is very popular. I will buy a copy and read it tomorrow."

……

Zhao Yazhi's flight service changed from short-haul to long-haul, and she started flying from Hong Kong to Massachusetts. Although her salary increased, long-distance flights were also more tiring.

She dragged her exhausted body out of the airport. Night had fallen. She learned the lesson from being harassed by Young and Dangerous last time and took a taxi.The traffic at night was very congested, and the driver habitually turned on the radio.

"This is FM94.8-96.9Mhz, the second radio station in Hong Kong. I am the anchor Xianxian. Due to the stock market crash some time ago, Hong Kong has been shrouded in a sad atmosphere recently. In order to encourage everyone, a young singer named Yang Ye We specially composed a song "Under the Lion Rock" to encourage citizens to swim upstream and face life bravely. Let us enjoy this song together."

When the driver heard this, he muttered: "Those people rush to the street and use their wealth to speculate in stocks. They only want to lose to death. What a ghost!"

He wanted to curse a few more words, but the low and soothing music started playing, and a clear voice sang: "There is joy in life, and there are often tears. When we met at the foot of the Lion Rock, we finally laughed more than Sad.”

When the driver heard the lyrics, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "There is some truth in these lyrics."

He listened quietly, and was soon drawn into the song, no longer beeping.

When Zhao Yazhi heard this song, he couldn't help but nod secretly. He thought it sounded very good and the lyrics were also very meaningful.

But this voice...why is it so familiar?

She always felt like she had heard it somewhere!

"Master, what's the name of this singer?"

"I don't remember either, pretty girl. Her surname seems to be Yang."

At this time, the anchor's voice rang again: "This song is to call on everyone to be strong in adversity and to strive hard. As long as you work hard, you will definitely regain hope in life. I heard that this is Yang Ye's debut novel. I I hope he can bring you more excellent works in the future."

"Yang Ye?"

Hearing this name, Zhao Yazhi's heart skipped a beat, "It can't be that Young and Dangerous guy, can it?"

Zhao Yazhi's memory of what happened that day was too deep.

The young and Dangerous boy named Yang Ye hugged her, washed and bandaged her feet, bought her a pair of white flat shoes, and put them on for her with his own hands.

Until she was 20 years old, she had never been so close to a boy.

When she thought about it, her toes felt itchy.

A good girl like her who followed her parents' arrangements and grew up in a greenhouse.There is always a rebellious mentality in girls, and they are especially attracted to bad boys.

This kid Yang Ye was very arrogant when fighting, but he was also very gentle when he treated her.Quite a bit like having a tiger in my heart and sniffing the roses.

Ignorant girls who have not been beaten up by society are especially susceptible to this trick.

He can fight against the whole world, but he leaves his last touch of tenderness to me. How romantic!

Damn, I really don’t know how their brains grow.

Zhao Yazhi tilted his head, thinking about the scene that day, and murmured: "Those people clearly called him Mr. Yang, but he told me that he was not Young and Dangerous! Could it be that he really wasn't?"

When Zhao Yazhi returned home, her mother had already cooked and her father was sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

"Dad, Mommy, Zhenzhen, I'm back!"

"Fourth sister, you're back, I'm almost starving to death."

"You just eat when you're hungry."

"Mommy said we have to wait until you come back before we start eating."

Zhao Yazhi's family background is pretty good. Her father Zhao Yangming is a businessman and her mother is a housewife.

She has five siblings, one brother and two sisters.Now they have all married and moved out. Only she and her sister Zhao Yazhen still live at home.

The two sisters laid out the meal, and Zhao Yazhen said, "Dad, stop looking, it's time to eat."

Zhao Yangming said without raising his head: "I will finish reading in one minute."

Zhao Yazhi saw several Mingbao papers placed in front of her father and asked, "Daddy, why are you so fascinated?"

"Let's read a novel. I have saved it for several days and read it together, otherwise it will not be enough."

"What novel is so good?"

""The Iron-Blooded Prodigy" was written by a man named Yang Ye."

Zhao Ya was stunned, why is it Yang Ye again?
