King of Hollywood

Repulse Bay is located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. It is one of the noblest residential areas. High-class people in Hong Kong either like mountains or beaches, so they also choose to live in these two places. Good choice. Several good bays in Hong Kong have developed villa groups. Among them, Repulse Bay has the longest history. There are high-profile people in Hong Kong. The Li family, Bao family, Zeng family, etc. all have their own villas here.

At this moment, under the drooping night, a brightly illuminated doorway of a villa covering hundreds of square feet, luxury cars keep coming in and out, if anyone can distinguish the license plate number, they will be surprised to find that those well-known tycoons in Hong Kong Almost all of them have come. Although they usually have contacts, what kind of gatherings can these big people take part in?

"I'm old, I've gone through too many world events, and the world has changed more and more. It's already your young people. Now I give my work to Yihua, I just want to watch the world quietly How can it change? ”The hair is almost gone, the dry old man wearing a pair of wide glasses said with a sigh.

"You can't say that, Mr. Shao, but you are much more spiritual than all the old people of the same age I have seen. You believe in Buddha and do so many good deeds. You are a world-renowned philanthropist. September 8th is Shao Yifu Day, the Lord Buddha will definitely bless your so-called martyrs in their twilight years, and it is not too late to talk about retirement after 100 years of age. "It looks like a white man about 30 to 40 years old in his He laughed and said

This is a somewhat strange scene of a balding dry old man talking in English, while a white man speaks Chinese—the standard Mandarin rather than Cantonese—but the next few people are taken for granted.

"Yes, Uncle Liu, it's too early for you to retire. Tvb can't do without you." A man in his thirties on the other side laughed and answered, and a chorus echoed around him.

The old man grinned, then frowned again and gave a few coughs. A noble lady who came far away came over and whispered something in front of the old man, then looked up and smiled apologetically for Adrian: "I'm sorry Mr. Cowell, Yifu is a bit tired and needs to go back to rest"

"It doesn't matter, I'm flattered that Mr. Shao was able to attend the reception in person." Adrian nodded politely, then shook hands with the old man. "Thank you for coming and wish you good health, Mr. Shao."

"Thank you, Mr. Cowell." The other smiled, and then left with the help of his wife, who was a few decades younger.

This dry old man has been in charge of tvb for decades, making it almost a dominate in Hong Kong. The head of the Hong Kong office of the well-known Justice of the Peace Shao Yifu Media sent an invitation to tvb when preparing the reception. , But did not really expect that Shao Yifu would be in his 90s, after all, it was enough for tvb to come to a few high-level, but he did not expect that he actually attended in person

Although I only stayed for half an hour before and after, but most of the time I was talking to Adrian, basically it was quite face-saving and not only one of his Guo family, Zheng family, and two Li families had a representative, such as The two currently talking to Adrian

"To be honest, after I heard about you for the first time, my first reaction was impossible. I have seen the directors in Hong Kong. It is almost impossible to say that they have the talent but they have to run a group."

"Yes, think about Huang Baiming, but this also shows that there are still geniuses in the world, brother."

The two men in front of him were about the same size as Adrian. They both wore glasses, their eyes were slightly right, and their teeth were slightly bulging. One of them had short hair, and the other had short hair. The relationship is quite subtle, just like the big brother just now. The younger seems to want to prove something, while the big one doesn't take it for granted.

These two are Li Zeju and Li Zekai, the two sons of Li Jiacheng, the owner of the Yangtze River Industrial Group. The wealthy circle in Hong Kong is expensive. Although Li Jiacheng is not good to come in person because of his seniority and other issues, the presence of these two will It ’s the same as if he came to several other houses in person. If they all came in person, it would not be treated in the special capital.

As for why Shao Yifu came in person, it is because tvb and the media have a different relationship. To be sure, tvb has sought media in many places.

"That's because I have a good partner, I'm in charge of the general direction, and he's in charge of the implementation, and we work seamlessly," Adrian smiled. "It's like when I'm at Stanford Business School, although I'm mostly idle. , But still remember a sentence that the professor who created the entrepreneurship course once said, use his strengths, circumvent his weaknesses, and be good at cooperation and adjustment to achieve success. "

At this point, he showed a stunned expression, and raised the cup in his hands to the two Li Gongzi with a smile: "Speaking of which we are still alumni"

"This is it." Li Zeju laughed, and Li Zekai laughed afterwards, and then the three cups came together and made a tink, but the two brothers were smirking.

In the eyes of Adrian, there is not much to say, and the Li family's affairs have nothing to do with him, but then again, if he can only choose one, he is willing to deal with Li Zeju. As the eldest son, he has been abducted. So it ’s kind of kind, even if it ’s just a little bit, and Li Zekai, young and arrogant, proud and arrogant, also made it shares go wild and go public, then plunged a lot of people who are optimistic about him, so that tvb is in Get Li Xiaolai's insinuation and satire in "Finding Qin Ji"

"But Mr. Cowell's talent and ability is unquestionable. I often hear some colleagues say that the media is supported by Mr. Cowell." A voice was inserted at this time, and it was in Mandarin. Although the Li family brothers can also speak Mandarin because they want to develop the mainland market, it is not a special standard

Followed by, a fat face with glasses appeared in front of Adrian's eyes. In addition to Guo, Zheng, and Er Li, there were many people who had an identity, such as the chairman and president of the Turkish TV, Liu Changle.

"Mr. Cowell's Chinese is very good. Although I have heard it mentioned long ago, only by hearing it first can I know how great it is."

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you can come, Mr. Liu" Adrian reached out and shook him

"Speaking of which, Mr. Cowell is not only the chairman of the media, but also a world-renowned director. I don't know how you think about the future of Hong Kong films." Liu Changle asked later

Hearing this, Adrian couldn't help but chuckled in their hearts, they really did their best

There can be so many celebrities in Hong Kong to join in, but not only because Adrian came to Hong Kong, the media investment here is not much, but if anyone has said hello, please ask these celebrities to help observe the American media tycoon. That ’s another matter. If it was just speculation before, Liu Changle inserted the guide topic when he observed the Li family brothers. This is confirmed by people in the circle. At the time, Murdoch wanted to enter the mainland because of acquiring the Chinese TV station of Satellite TV. However, the mainland did not allow foreign ownership, so he deliberately transferred Liu Changle to acquire a portion of the shares to become a major shareholder, reorganize it into Turkey, and squeeze Murdoch to third place, so the official color behind him is relatively strong.

If it's interesting, let me show you more

"It's a pity for me," Adrian said after clearing his throat. "I dare not judge what the future will be, but after the advent of the work of salvation, if Hong Kong films can fully cooperate with the mainland, it will be able to fully revive. But in my opinion, the best time was ten to twenty years ago. "

Sighing here, he sighed, as if he was really sorry: "At that time, although many movies and TV shows in Hong Kong were rubbish, they also produced a lot of evocative fine works, and each of them was also a little Du Fenghua Peerless "

Speaking of the last sentence, the men around him could not help showing a knowing smile.

"I've heard that Mr. Cowell is a romantic seed, and today it really deserved its reputation." Followed by Liu Changle, another major shareholder of Turkey TV, Chen Yongqi said with a smile.

"Don't dare, I just follow my own heart." Adrian lowered the cup and arched his hands with a smile.

This action made a bunch of people feel a bit messy. This ghost speaks Chinese without English and Cantonese, and speaks so fluently, as long as he is familiar with a variety of idioms and allusions. It seems that the action of worshipping the mountain should be to laugh at him for not knowing anything, or to marvel that he knows everything at all?

"For example, Ms. Lin's undefeated East, or Ms. Zhao's Bai Suzhen, and Ms. Chen's little dragon daughter are all imposing, which impresses others. Although they lack their representative role, they also have their own. Features, such as Ms. Zhong, I really like her cooperation with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou in "Cross the World" "Adrian did not care about their eyes, but continued to talk, even though he used Miss And Mr. instead of the names of the actors, but everyone around knows who he is talking about

"If I was born ten years earlier, I would definitely find a way to kiss Fangze," he said at the end, with no meaning whatsoever.

People around couldn't help but wink, with some surprises and emotions. In the end, Liu Changle came out to round the field: "Mr. Cowell is really straightforward. I believe that many people will not say this even if they have this idea."

"I know, it's really nothing. It's normal for a man to pursue those beautiful women," Adrian said, spreading his hands. "As the saying goes, a lady, a gentleman, isn't this the case for thousands of years?" "

Liu Changle had some headaches and a slight twitch in the corners of his mouth. The westerner in front of him really had enough westerners to speak, and he was very direct in speaking, but he knew a lot about Eastern culture. It ’s hard to say what ’s okay

In fact, Adrian also knows that he has gone a little bit, so even if he said this directly at the reception and first-time people, it was a bit rude in the United States and Europe, not to mention Hong Kong

But this is also good. If he shows too much knowledge of Chinese culture, it will also make people doubt like he cannot direct "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"No wonder Mr. Cowell's works this year have concentrated on the charm of this woman," Li Zeju put aside his words.

"I just want to use the lens to capture those beautiful bodies and faces, those that can cause people to throb, just like those stunners who have aged ten or twenty years ago, they still have their beauty in the movie. Peerless figures, these can inspire people when they create, "Adrian lamented, and now he became an artist.

Just when Liu Changle sighed secretly and didn't know what to say, a voice came over: "Although it's slightly wrong, the phrase '窈窕 女 女 君子好逑' is always correct."

The face of the visitor is similar to that of Liu Changle, and they all look a little fat. They also wear glasses, bald foreheads, and slender glasses, about 70 to 80, with an elegant temperament.

When he saw the other person, Adrian was obviously confused and gave people a sense of seeing the opposite party but not remembering who he was

"I think, I'm not that scary," the old man looked at himself, and said in a humorous tone, and then laughed loudly around him.

"Of course not," Adrian responded immediately, "I just don't know if I should call you Mr. King or Mr. Cha"

This sentence immediately attracted a surprised look, thinking that this ghost is already very familiar with the Chinese culture. I did not expect even the pen name and real name of this person, and the old man's smile became much more eager.

"Jin Zheng is just a pseudonym, Cha Liangyong is his real name," he said with a smile.

"It seems that Mr. Cowell also likes Mr. Cha's novels very much." Liu Changle finally seized the opportunity to change the subject again

"Yeah, as the representative of the martial arts novelist, of course, Mr. Cha's book has to be read before Fei Xue shoots white deer in the sky, and the laughing book God relies on Bi Bi, and none of them has fallen," Adrian said with a smile. I have to say that Mr. Cha's grasp of history is very in place. He ingeniously combines story and history in everything. It is strange and unconventional. No wonder it makes people want to see it. "

"Rewarded, Mr. Cowell" Zha Liangyong's smile suddenly became stronger

Sure enough, they all said that Cha Liangyong liked others to compliment him as a writer, historian, and not a master of martial arts novels. To this end, he also obtained a doctorate in history and a master's degree in Cambridge, and Adrian also went along. A few words of praise were praised. As to how it really is not important, Cha Liangyong is also an old fox. When various film and television companies made his novels into movies, they asked him if the actress was in line with the heroine's imagination. Would he say OK? Besides, who doesn't whitewash his family after he becomes famous?

"So, which of Mr. Cowell's favorite novels is Mr. Cha?" After sending Shao Yifu away, he walked around and greeted many people, and Fang Yihua came back again.

"Well ... what did you say, each with its own shortcomings and its own wonderful things?" Adrian groaned, and then said so.

"This is too general, Mr. Cowell, can't count" Chen Yongqi said in a half-baked Mandarin with a smile.

"Okay, then ..." Adrian thought for a while, "I will talk about the most popular male actor in several novels, which I feel are at the forefront. I affirm in advance that this is just a personal opinion."

After clearing his throat, he immediately began to comment: "Qiao Feng is bold and bright, and he can be a good friend, but he has been indifferent to the easy-to-break section, but he is indifferent to the pure bamboo, but Guo Jing's wisdom is fool, tenacious, The big one, but sticking to ritual law, it is no wonder that Yang Laoxie is not overwhelmed by Yang Laojie, who is extremely clever, but she has exhausted her young life, and her mind has become so ingenious that only purely people like Xiaolongv can Get along with him, and he really needs such a simple wife, but unfortunately the other girls are so-called at first sight of Yang Guo mistaken for life-this is what Ms. Lin said, but not me "

After hearing the last sentence, everyone couldn't help but laughed

"Zhang Wuji is equally pure, but his indecision makes people see the enthusiasm of Linghu rushing and freewheeling. As a knight, he is definitely not a good leader. If Yue Buqun doesn't like him, he should be Hu Fei. The postscript said that he wanted to create a real big husband, and he did do it. Hu Fei in "The Flying Fox" is very distinctive, but he is still hesitant about all the protagonists, and hesitates. It's a pity. "Adrian said I sighed here, "but it is because of this that these characters are so impressive and real people. Zhang Sanfeng in" Tian Tian Tu Long Ji "is perfect, but it is a bit less human."

Speaking here, it is finally over. Then, under the leadership of Zha Liangyong, the applause sounded. Well, anyway, this westerner already knows Chinese culture well, and it is normal to say so much.

"It really surprised me. I didn't expect Mr. Cowell to know my novels so well." There was a hint of pride between Cha Liangyong's eyebrows, just like when 286 gave him a cigarette. Of course, Adrian couldn't compete with 286. Compared to that, but now it is also expensive for the entire world media group. Such a Westerner has also seen and studied his novels, and it is inevitable to be complacent.

"So does Mr. Cowell have a favorite character?" Liu Changle asked at this moment

"Well ..." Adrian thought for a while, and UU read the book www.uukanshu. com then glanced at Fang Yihua, he was constantly selecting in his heart before coming to Hong Kong, and now he finally made a decision

"If you really want to choose," he said with a smile, "then choose Zhang Wuji."

"Oh? Why is this?" Not only Liu Changle, but a few of them were curious.

"It's very simple, only he enjoys the blessing of the people" Adrian spread his hands

The scene was quiet for several seconds, and then a few people burst out laughing together, causing people elsewhere to turn around and look

"Mr. Cowell is truly a celebrity," Zha Liangyong said with a smile.
