The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 207 Leslie Cheung
"Aying, you're a big star, you can't dress like this anymore, you need to pay attention to your image." Xu Guanwu led Xu Guanying into the famous brand store, reminding him as he walked.

In fact, in the 70s, not only Xu Guanying was like this, but almost all the stars were like this.Only when attending important occasions, or accepting media interviews, taking photos, etc., do you put on makeup and change into beautiful clothes, otherwise you are just like the general public.

The reason for this is that Shaw Brothers, as the cradle of stars and the big brother in the film industry, is really too stingy. Even big stars still have such a small salary.If you don't have money to buy nice clothes or luxury cars, you can't dress plainly and take the minibus with the citizens.Over time, celebrities will not go out on the street if they have nothing to do, and citizens will not see celebrities on the street.

On the other hand, it was mainly due to the social atmosphere. At that time, Hong Kong was rising from the predicament, and people were all coming out of hard times, so it was the spirit of Hong Kong people to work hard at that time, just like the classic song "Under the Lion Rock" as sung.

Therefore, the aesthetics at that time were relatively simple. You can find that the actresses in the 70s, even though their makeup skills were far inferior to those of later generations, were still gorgeous on the screen.Unlike today's celebrities, they are almost unrecognizable without makeup, and they dare not go out without makeup.

When Xu Guanying entered a brand-name store, she seemed unnatural, "Second brother, I'm not used to wearing the clothes here, so I'd better go back to Temple Street to buy them. You can buy three pieces for 100 yuan, which are cheap and forbidden."

"How can the goods from Temple Street be worn on TV?!" Xu Guanwu glared at him, "Don't be naughty, come here quickly." He said and dragged Xu Guanying to the salesman.

In the 70s, there was no smile service, and all the clerks were watching people order dishes.I saw a luxury car parked outside the shop just now, and three people got out of the car immediately. The shop assistants in the shop were all ready, you looked at me, I looked at you, their eyes were full of vigilance.

Xu Guanwu usually does not come to these famous brand stores to buy clothes. The clothes he is wearing now are all produced by Guanqi Western Clothing, specially designed and made for him.It is comfortable and thoughtful to wear, and has a kind of understated luxury.

"Boss, what clothes do you want to see? Can I help you choose?"

"Boss, what kind of clothes do you want to buy, casual or suits, let me help you."

……

Several shop assistants rushed over together, scrambling to sell themselves to Xu Guanwu. That scene can only be seen in some TV dramas.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning, even Xu Guanying was almost pushed aside by those people.

Just when the situation was in chaos, someone behind suddenly scolded, "Why are you all piled up there, have you had enough trouble?"

All the clerks stopped when they heard the shouting, and retreated sullenly.

Xu Guanwu breathed a sigh of relief, followed the prestige, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy standing there, looking at these employees angrily.

"Eh?! This boy is so handsome, how can he be so familiar?" Xu Guanwu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking in doubt.

At that moment, the boy walked over quickly, "I'm sorry, sir, our shop assistants are not polite enough, I apologize to you on their behalf."

When he approached, Xu Guanwu took a closer look and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Zhang Guorong?! Leslie?! Ning Caichen?! Damn, God, are you kidding me! You let me meet in such a hurry! When it comes to my idol, could it be that this is fate?! Wahaha!"

Zhang Guorong watched Xu Guanwu's complexion change rapidly, from green to white, as if Sichuan's face changed, and he couldn't help worrying secretly, "Could it be that something is wrong with scaring?"

"Sir, sir, are you okay?" He asked hastily with concern.

"Second Brother, Second Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Guanying also patted Xu Guanwu's shoulder quickly and said.

"Ah?! It's okay." Xu Guanwu restrained the ecstasy in his heart, calmed down, took a deep breath, "Hi, I'm here to buy clothes for my third brother, please help find someone to help him choose .”

"Okay, the clothes in our store are all hand-sewn, with first-class technology, and even big Hollywood stars come to our store to buy clothes." Zhang Guorong introduced proudly, "Look at the great director Hitchcock, the great star Gary Sen Grant and Marlon Brando are regular customers of our shop."

When Xu Guanwu came in, he also noticed a few photos of Hollywood celebrities hanging on the wall. He thought it was because the owner liked Hollywood movies, so he specially decorated it in that style.After being introduced by Zhang Guorong, I realized that they were all customers of this store, and I couldn't help being a little awed.

"I read the information before, and it seems that Zhang Guorong's father opened a clothing store. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The clothing store I accidentally walked into was opened by his father." Xu Guanwu secretly thought in his heart.

Zhang Guorong then pointed to a clerk to help Xu Guanying choose clothes, and Zhao Yazhi followed for reference.

Xu Guanwu's aesthetic style has always been low, and his wife Zhao Yazhi also suggested some of his daily clothes, so he consciously didn't give any advice.

Besides, when he finally met Zhang Guorong, the most famous idol star in Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu certainly had to seize the opportunity, and he couldn't miss it.

"Did you open this store yourself? I never imagined that such a big store would exist at such a young age." Xu Guanwu said without words.

"No, this store belongs to my father, I just came to help." Zhang Guorong shook his head.

"I see. When you introduced these big stars just now, you seemed very excited. Do you usually like to watch movies?" Xu Guanwu asked casually.

"Yeah, I still go often." Zhang Guorong smiled and said.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "What kind of movies do you like to watch, Hong Kong local ones, or Hollywood ones?"

"I prefer to watch French and Italian movies. I think Hong Kong movies are too noisy, and Hollywood movies are too noisy." Zhang Guorong shook his head.

Xu Guanwu smiled wryly. He didn't expect Zhang Guorong to comment on Hong Kong movies in this way, which is quite appropriate.

It seems that a scholar who studied Hong Kong films in a previous life once commented on Hong Kong films as "all crazy, all over the top", which coincides with Zhang Guorong's evaluation.

"Then you just like watching movies, have you ever thought about acting in movies by yourself?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

Zhang Guorong was taken aback, he didn't expect Xu Guanwu to ask such a question.

To be honest, chatting casually with Xu Guanwu is just a polite way to treat guests. Zhang Guorong never expected to talk about such a personal issue.

"I don't know about this." Zhang Guorong shook his head and replied lightly.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Then do you like singing? Have you ever thought about making a record?"

Zhang Guorong glanced at Xu Guanwu suspiciously, wondering why the customer's questions were so weird, do I like to sing, would I like to act in a movie, what does it matter if I can't make a record?

"I haven't thought about it." Although Zhang Guorong was very depressed, he still smiled.

"Uh, well, this is my business card. If you want to act in a movie or make a record, please remember to come to me anytime." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Zhang Guorong took the business card in doubt, and saw that there was nothing written on it except for the name "Xu Guanwu" and a phone number.There is neither a company name, nor a company address, nor a company position. It is purely a "three-no product".But Zhang Guorong put it away because of being polite.

Soon, Xu Guanying's clothes were selected, and the total amount was 8000 Hong Kong dollars, which was considered the most expensive clothes at that time.

When Xu Guanying heard that it was so expensive, she couldn't help making a bitter face, "Second brother, the clothes are a bit too expensive, why don't we go to Temple Street to buy them."

Hearing this, the clerk in front of him couldn't help giving Xu Guanying a sideways look, and raised the corners of his mouth in contempt.

"Don't talk nonsense, Miss, wrap everything up for me." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

The clerk immediately wrapped up all the clothes happily, "Sir, do you pay in cash or by card?"

"Swipe the card!" Xu Guanwu said, and took out the VIP gold card he had obtained at HSBC.

There are only about a thousand VIP cards in Hong Kong that HSBC launched for the wealthy in the city. Xu Guanwu's card is one of them. The limit is 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, which many people can't earn back in their lifetime.

The clerk naturally knew the goods. He didn't even blink his eyes when he saw this gold card. After swiping it, he respectfully returned the gold card with both hands and said sweetly, "Boss, your gold card, please You sign here." At the same time, a pair of big watery eyes blinked desperately at Xu Guanwu, and the glances gave him a sack.

"Cough!" Zhao Yazhi coughed lightly beside her, showing her existence.

Xu Guanwu smiled, obtained the gold card smoothly, and then signed his name on the bill.

"The clothes are ready, let's go." Zhao Yazhi reminded kindly.

Xu Guanwu nodded, turned around and walked out for two steps, then suddenly turned his head and said, "Put that business card away, and come to me if you want to be a celebrity." After speaking, he walked out with his wife and third brother.

"Nervous." Zhang Guorong cursed with a smile, and was about to throw away the business card.

Suddenly, the clerk screamed, "My mother!"

"What's the matter, what are you arguing about?" Zhang Guorong shouted angrily.

Ever since my father fell ill, these clerks have started to work, either asking for leave for no reason, or not paying attention to work, making it clear that they don't take him as a young man in their eyes.

"Help me identify this signature. What's the name of the person who signed the bill?" The clerk handed over the bill from the POS machine.

Everyone looked around curiously, "Xu... what... Wu?!"

"It's Xu Guanwu!" the clerk screamed.

"Ah?! Really, he will also come to our store?" The clerk rushed forward and shouted.

"Hong Kong movie tycoon, why didn't I recognize it just now? What a mistake!" A clerk stomped annoyedly, "If he chooses me to be a big star, he won't have to waste time here."

"That's right, I was really rude just now." Another clerk said regretfully, "If I had acted better just now, I might be a big star now."

"Now that I think about it, isn't that woman just now the actress on TV? Xu Guanwu's wife, the one who hosted the show recently."

"Yes, yes, that ugly one looks like a movie star."

"I hate it. I didn't say it earlier. The opportunity was wasted. Otherwise, I might be able to catch a wealthy son-in-law."

"He's already married, and his wife is much prettier than you, so you have no chance."

"Tch, who said that this girl is naturally beautiful, it's just that you have no vision."

"Xu Guanwu can't catch him, but his younger brother can be caught too. Although he looks a little ugly, he is still a movie star, and I heard he is very rich."

"I hate it, I didn't say it earlier!"

……

All the clerks chattered and chirped, as if thousands of ducks were squawking, and Zhang Guorong's head was about to explode.

"Stop arguing, you guys are talking so lively, who is this person?" Zhang Guorong asked curiously.

He had been studying abroad before, and he came back to Hong Kong after his father fell ill, so he didn't know much about the Xu brothers.

"That's him." A clerk casually took out a newspaper, and saw a large photo on it, "Interview with Xiangjiang film tycoon Xu Guanwu: My story of the Hollywood Gold Rush!"

Zhang Guorong took it over curiously, looked at it at a glance, and couldn't help being taken aback.

　I miss the generation of idol Leslie Cheung. From my point of view, he is the most legendary star in Hong Kong.
