The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 649 Apple Press Conference

Golden Harvest's Christmas release is the Yuan Brothers' "Tiger and Dragon", which shifts the stage from the rural market towns in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China to the modern modern city of Hong Kong.It tells the story of two brothers with unique skills who fight against injustice in the city.

The Yuan brothers' films have always been weak in story and strong in fighting. They have learned from their father since childhood and have a solid foundation in art, but they are relatively weak in story creation. They are not as good at making stories as Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long.

In addition to "Tiger and Dragon" by the Yuan Brothers, there is also Tang Jiming's "Death of Xiyingpan". Just by the name, you can tell that it is a popular action movie.As for comedies, because Zeng Zhiwei left Taiwan, comedies have become Golden Harvest's weak point.

Wu Yusen, who became famous for his comedies before, hasn't made any movies this year, mainly because he is angry with Golden Harvest.He really doesn't want to make any more comedies, and he has discussed this matter with Zou Wenhuai several times, and every time he shoots the one in front of him first, and then we will talk about it later.

As a result, comedy films were made one after another, and they made a lot of money, but Wu Yusen was not happy at all.He really didn't want to make comedies, but Jiahe didn't trust him to make other themes.Besides, Golden Harvest now has a lot of directors who make action movies. The Yuan Brothers, Luo Wei, Wu Siyuan, etc. can all make action movies, but Wu Yusen is the only one who makes comedy movies and can make money.

Therefore, Golden Harvest did not agree with him to make an action movie, because he had never made an action movie before, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make it well.The two comedies are a major source of income for Golden Harvest with a small investment and quick profits. Naturally, they don't want Wu Yusen to lose his golden job.

The more Wu Yusen failed to make a film, the more he wanted to do it. Golden Harvest just refused to let him do it. As a result, the conflict between the two sides intensified. Wu Yusen couldn't make a film for a year, and he was only in charge of helping people with editing and earning a few tea money.Golden Harvest's original intention was to let Wu Yusen quit in spite of difficulties, but Wu Yusen knew that there would be no way out in Golden Harvest, so he planned to wait another half a year, and then quit Golden Harvest after the contract expired.

……

Just as the Christmas schedule is approaching and the Hong Kong film industry is in a stalemate, Xu Guanwu brings Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, and his own pair of children to the United States to celebrate Christmas.At the same time, it is also a grand ceremony to participate in the release of Apple Computer's MAC OS operating system and its listing in the United States.In addition, Deng Lijun's latest English album will be officially released during the Spring Festival. Both Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia want to cheer her on.

The plane flew for more than ten hours and stopped in Los Angeles. Several people first stayed in the hotel, and then drove to Deng Lijun's beach villa in Malibu.

Deng Lijun knew that Lin Qingxia and the others were coming early in the morning, and to be honest, she was both happy and terrified.She was happy that Lin Qingxia and the others came back to visit her, but fearful that they would discover her adultery with Xu Guanwu.

"Sister Lijun, woo woo, I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss you so much." Lin Qingxia hugged Deng Lijun as soon as she came up and said.

"I miss you too. Hey, Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo are here too! Let Auntie hug you." When Deng Lijun saw Xiao Sichen and Xiao Simo who were being held by the nanny behind him, she couldn't help but Excited to meet them, hugged and kissed each one.

"Teresa, since you like children so much, you might as well find a good man to marry and give birth to a good one." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

Deng Lijun smiled, "Good men are hard to come by. Do you think everyone is as lucky as the two of you?"

"It's not like that. If you really want to get married, I can introduce you to you. I also know a lot of rich kids in Hong Kong. They are all first-class in character, talent, and family. You might as well think about it first. .” Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"How did you know so many people? Why didn't I know about this?" Xu Guanwu said with a taste from the side.

"I attend a lot of events, so I naturally know more people. It's not like you stay at home every day." Zhao Yazhi said, "How is it, Teresa, are you interested?"

"Okay, I didn't see people talking anymore, it's just boring, why do you keep asking?" Xu Guanwu frowned, and didn't let Zhao Yazhi continue to ask.

Deng Lijun also calmed down, "I'll talk about this later, I just want to make that album well."

"Yes, Miss Lijun, you are going to release a record in the United States in the future, it is really great, it is simply the light of our Taiwan." Lin Qingxia happily hugged Deng Lijun and smiled.

"Don't take my word for it. The record hasn't been released yet. Everything you say now is false." Deng Lijun waved his hand and said, "I really have no idea now. I have recorded so many albums by myself. Hardest album to record."

"What, is it that the people from the record company are not cooperating, or are the songs too difficult?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning when he heard her say that.

"No, it's because I'm always in a state of instability. I seldom sang English songs before, and I had to change both my pronunciation and my singing. Now I'm really like a child, suddenly changing from running to crawling." Deng Lijun smiled wryly. One Road.

"It's okay, take your time, no one can do it overnight." Hearing what she said, Xu Guanwu couldn't help persuading with a smile, "Other American singers have to go through long preparations to release their records. Don't worry any more."

"Yes, Sister Lijun, Ah Wu is right. The so-called haste makes waste, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. It's better to relax and do your best. I believe it will be fine." Lin Qingxia also Advised with a smile.

"Well, I see, thank you Qingxia, and thank you Stanley." Deng Lijun smiled.

"Okay, let me tell you, don't thank me here and there, let's eat first, okay?" Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"Well, do you want to eat Western food or Chinese food?" Deng Lijun asked, "I just asked for leave today, and I have enough time to accompany you."

"It's for hot pot. I specially brought the hot pot utensils from Hong Kong all the way, and specially sold the fat beef and sheep. I don't know what kind of taste is American beef and mutton paired with Chinese shabu-shabu. " Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Deng Lijun was moved when she heard this, last time she mentioned to Xu Guanwu that she likes to eat mutton, but this time he brought shabu-shabu all the way here from Hong Kong, she was so moved that she almost shed tears It came out.However, in order to avoid being noticed by Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia, Deng Lijun wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's eat boiled mutton."

Xu Guanwu quickly set up the hot pot utensils. In order to cater for different tastes, he specially chose a mandarin duck pot. One side has a spicy soup base, and the other side has a seafood soup base. In addition, there are seafood such as prawns, crabs, clams, and abalone, as well as vegetables such as spinach and lettuce.Xu Guanwu originally wanted to buy coriander and Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, but he couldn't find it after searching in the supermarket for a long time. It seems that this capitalist country doesn't have everything.

The beef and mutton bought in the supermarket are packaged in whole pieces, and the bones in the middle have been removed, so they are still soft to the touch.Xu Guanwu wanted to find a kitchen knife to slice beef and mutton, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time, so he had to use a fruit knife to cut it.

Although the fruit knife is made of pure steel, it is very sharp, but it is not good at cutting meat. Xu Guanwu was really sweating profusely. Said while wiping sweat.

At this time, Lin Qingxia, Deng Lijun, and Zhao Yazhi were already sitting down and eating, "Awu, keep working hard, we are waiting for your beef and mutton to go to the pot."

"Wait for me, I'm sweating profusely while cutting the meat, but you three sit there and eat, it's really disrespectful." Xu Guanwu saw the three of them eating lettuce with great relish, Can't help but said depressedly.

"I can't help it, why would there be a man like you in the room now. Could it be that if you don't cut it, let us three women do it?" Zhao Yazhi said eloquently.

After hearing this, Xu Guanwu had nothing else to say except depression, he finally finished cutting up the beef and mutton, and he came to the table with a plate of meat.

"Wow, Ah Wu, this is the meat you cut. It's so big. Is it cooked?" Lin Qingxia picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, and saw that the piece of mutton was half an inch thick, let alone as thin as paper. , I'm afraid even the belt is not that thick.

"Just put it in the pot and cook for a while." Xu Guanwu blushed a bit and said, "If you don't have a good knife, you won't be able to cut it properly, so you just make do with it."

"Okay, okay, throw them in and cook them first, and then eat them at the end." Zhao Yazhi said, "Awu, you sit down too, we celebrate Christmas with Teresa early today."

"Everyone cheers, Merry Christmas!" Xu Guanwu sat down with a smile, picked up the beer mug, and drank with the three of them.

……

After dinner with Deng Lijun, Xu Guanwu's family rushed to Silicon Valley to attend the release ceremony of Apple Computer's MAC OS visual operating system.

The MAC OS operating system was developed based on the idea provided by Xu Guanwu earlier, and it is currently the only practical visual operating system in the United States.There is also a visual operating system in the Xerox laboratory, but it is not practical at present, and it is still in the experimental stage.

Although Xerox was the first pioneer to design and develop a visual operating system, Apple Computer, with the help of Xu Guanwu, came from behind and launched the MAC OS visual operating system long before Xerox, which won everyone's attention in one fell swoop.

Personal computers have developed very rapidly in the past two years. More and more companies have noticed the great role of computers. In addition to the office field, they also play a role in the manufacturing field, financial field, and design field. Huge effect.However, because personal computers still mainly use the DOS operating system, people need to keep in mind hundreds or even thousands of codes, so the operation is extremely complicated, and the human-computer interaction is very unfriendly for newcomers.This shortcoming also greatly limits the application of personal computer.

Now, the release of MAC OS can make human-computer interaction simple and easy, and one of the biggest weaknesses of personal computers has also been made up for, which is equivalent to making it even more powerful and producing a qualitative revolution.

So when MAC OS was about to come out, the eyes of the whole world turned to Silicon Valley and to Apple Computer, a company that had not yet been established for five years.

When Xu Guanwu's family went to Silicon Valley, they saw that all the hotels were full of IT professionals, journalists, investors, bankers from all over the world... The Silicon Valley town, which was originally very casual and very livable, became noisy.

"Wow, it's so lively, like a carnival." Zhao Yazhi said excitedly seeing so many people.

Xu Guanwu was also very happy, because the more people who attended the MAC OS conference, the greater the influence of this operating system and the easier it was to succeed.

"Ah Wu, this operating system is really amazing. There are so many people here suddenly." Lin Qingxia asked curiously. She knew nothing about those high-tech technologies, and she didn't understand why so many people gathered here.

"Of course, this operating system can change the world." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Qingxia, remember today, you and I have witnessed history together."
