Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be Peter!" Zhang Bingqian smiled when she saw the young man.

"Husband, let me introduce you, this is the young talent Wen Peter that I often mentioned to you, he is not only a star and a model, but also a fur business, he is really young and promising!"

"Really? No wonder you always praise him, he is really a handsome man!" Guan Yueshan stepped forward and looked at Wen Peter for a while, praising him.

Wen Peter has a good appearance, and with the blessing of various identities, Guan Yueshan immediately felt that this young man is very good, at least better than Du Yongxiao standing next to him.

Compared with Wen Peter, Du Yongxiao is probably "slightly better" in appearance, and other economic strength, personal talent, etc. are all crushed.

"Come, Jiahui, let me introduce you, this is Wen Peter, Mr. Wen, who I mentioned to you yesterday!" Zhang Bingqian pushed her daughter to the front and introduced them to the two.

"You are Jiahui. Auntie always mentions you, saying that you inherited their advantages and are very beautiful. Today, I see that you are not just beautiful, but a national beauty, stunningly beautiful!" Wen Peter was very sweet and praised Guan Jiahui immediately.

Girls like to hear nice words, and Wen Peter doesn't look that bad. He is also a friend of his mother. Guan Jiahui didn't know what to say, so she just said perfunctorily: "Thank you, I'm glad to meet you." She stretched out her hand.

Wen Peter hurriedly shook it, but felt that Guan Jiahui's little hand was soft and boneless, very smooth, and his heart was moved. Looking at Guan Jiahui's natural charming eyes and plump red lips, he felt that she was charming and lovely, even more attractive than many female stars.

Wen Peter's heart was rippled, and he decided to pursue Guan Jiahui.

"Uncle and aunt, it's getting late, why don't you take my car, I'll take you there, and it just so happens that I have to participate in the fundraising today."

"Really? I'm so embarrassed!" Zhang Bingqian said.

"I didn't expect that Master Wen is so keen on charity at such a young age. It's really admirable." Guan Yueshan said.

"No, I still need to learn from you two!" Wen Peter said modestly, "As a junior, I always remind myself to be humble and cautious in front of you seniors, because you two have always been my idols, not only on the screen, but also in life."

The three of them ignored Du Yongxiao directly, just as if he didn't exist, and complimented each other.

Du Yongxiao glanced at Guan Jiahui.

Coincidentally, Guan Jiahui also looked at him.

Guan Jiahui was afraid that Du Yongxiao would be unhappy, so she secretly held Du Yongxiao's hand, and a look passed through her beautiful eyes, which meant that she should not be unhappy, I am here.

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He didn't care about these ignoring.

For him, he didn't think of Guan Jiahui's family as anything in his heart, but just wanted to end this relationship as soon as possible. If it weren't for his mother Li Cuilian's urging, he wouldn't even come here again.

But now, Guan Jiahui's small action made him feel indescribably cute and heartwarming.

His impression of Guan Jiahui had always been stuck on her various gossips and bad reviews in the previous life, and he had not really known her, but now, Du Yongxiao had an impulse to enter her world-

"That's really troublesome to you, Mr. Wen!" Guan Yueshan said, "It's really embarrassing for our whole family to take your car."

"How could it be? You are all my idols, and it's my honor to be your driver. Come, please get in the car!" Wen Peter opened the door and took the initiative to invite Guan Yueshan and his wife.

Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian no longer hesitated. It was better to take this brand new BMW than Du Yongxiao's old Bentley.

"Jiahui, you hurry up and get in too!" Guan Yueshan saw his daughter still standing outside Du Yongxiao, so he shouted to her.

"I don't need it, the car is too small, I'll take Brother Du's car!" Guan Jiahui replied.

"How can it be small? My car can carry five people," Wen Peter was rarely able to get close to such a beautiful woman like Guan Jiahui, and he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

"It's still too crowded, this car is spacious!" Guan Jiahui got into Du Yongxiao's car directly.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly and looked at Wen Peter.

But he saw Wen Peter looking at him viciously, his eyes full of jealousy, his lips moving a few times, as if saying: "Stinky boy, dare to fight with me?"

Du Yongxiao ignored him, such an ant paying attention to him was looking up to him.

Du Yongxiao got into his car, waved to Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian and his wife, and then drove away first.

Guan Yueshan and his wife felt that their daughter was too disappointing. They created such a good opportunity for her, but she still chose that poor boy.

"Mr. Wen, let's go too!"

"Yes, time is running out!"

"Okay, uncle and aunt! Also, don't call me Mr. Wen anymore, just call me Peter, it's more intimate."

"Okay, Peter!"

"You are such an excellent young man! As for Jiahui, well, let's not talk about it!"

...

Kowloon, Hong Kong -

Tseung Kwan O TV City.

This "Celebrity Charity Fundraising" event was held in the TVB studio.

Since its establishment, TVB has often held some celebrity events, and the venue for each event is the TVB studio.

The reason is very simple. First, the venue is large enough and the stage is luxurious enough. Second, more than half of the stars in Hong Kong come from Shaw Brothers and TVB. Coming here is like returning to their mother's home, which makes them feel intimate. Third, this is also a way for TVB to promote itself.

In this era, Hong Kong television had three pillars: in addition to TVB, there was also the old Lai TV, which would later become Asia Television, or ATV for short. There is also the newly emerging Jiayi TV Station.

Speaking of which, the biggest threat to TVB is Jiayi TV, which was just established last year.

At 6 pm on September 7, 1975, Hong Kong's third free television broadcasting organization, Jiayi TV, started broadcasting. The launch ceremony was simple. General manager He Zuozhi, program manager Sun Yubiao, and news manager Pan Chaoyan made brief speeches, and then the whole night's program began.

The highlight of the night was the song and dance program "Good Vision". The one-hour show was performed by Xu Guanjie, Tsang Jiang and Weng Qianyu, who later became popular in Japan. Weng Qianyu's performance alone took up 45 minutes. The dancers were all from Japan, and the choreographer and deputy choreographer responsible for Weng Qianyu's performance also came from Japan. The big boss, He Zuozhi, is personally involved in the planning of the show. He has been to Japan 4 times for the show.

One of the original licensing conditions of Jiayi TV was that Jiayi needed to spend part of its time broadcasting educational programs. This was one of the reasons why Jiayi failed to break even, and it was also one of the reasons for Jiashi's collapse.

Although Jiashi only had a short life of three years, it produced fifty or sixty TV sets, which was definitely a large number of products in the 1970s. There are many classic works among them. For example, the first Jin Yong TV series Michelle's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was produced by Jiashi. It became a sensation in Hong Kong after being filmed. Then Jiashi successively produced "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Blue Blood Sword", "Snow Mountain" "Flying Fox" and so on, but due to premature graduation, they are still unknown to many mainland drama fans.

The more famous actors produced by Jiashi include Michelle, Wei Qiuhua, Luo Lelin, Li Tongming, Zheng Yuling, Yang Panpan, Hong Kong Miss Zhang Mary, Qin Huang and others. Three years later, Jiashi graduated, Michelle, Wei Qiuhua, Luo Lelin and others transferred to Li's (later ATV), Zheng Yuling, Yang Panpan and others switched to TVB, and they all ushered in the second peak of their acting careers.

Among them, Michelle is particularly prominent. Most mainland drama fans have known Michelle's classic role since the ATV period.

Tsui Hark, who works in television stations, became famous entirely from Jiashi. Tsui Hark joined the Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd., TVB, in 1977 and engaged in director and producer work. A year later, he switched to Jiashi and made Gu Long's classic TV series "The Lover of the Golden Sword", which made him famous in one fell swoop. This can be said to be a turning point in Tsui Hark's career as a director.

In addition, Jiashi has also filmed dramas such as Gu Long's "Martial Arts". In addition to Jin Yong's dramas and Gu Long's dramas, Liang Yusheng's works are of course also indispensable. Jiashi has filmed two Liang Yusheng dramas, "Yun Hai Yu Gong Yuan" and "The Legend of the White-haired Witch", and their influence has been spectacular.

Jiashi can be said to be a fleeting meteor, very beautiful and bright, but it is short-lived. This is still lamented by many older generation drama fans. It could have become a three-legged TV station with Li TV and Wireless. It is a shame to disappear like this among all living beings!

Now that Jiayi has been established for two years, the ratings of its TV series have remained high. Even at 10 o'clock, there are still a large number of Hong Kong viewers waiting to watch. This puts TVB, which has invested heavily, feeling great pressure. For this reason, it continues to hold various Activities as a way to market and promote yourself.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and there was a lot of traffic and luxury cars outside the TVB studio hall, and countless celebrities came to support them.

As the initiator of this event, Lee Zhaoheng looked at the celebrities filing in with a proud expression, and said to Shao Daheng beside him: "Uncle Six, as I said, as long as you do charity, these celebrities will flock here. , Why? It’s not just a name or a profit!”

Shao Daheng glanced at Li Zhaoheng. As his junior, Li Zhaoheng seemed a little too complacent. He even forgot that if he hadn't personally found Du Yongxiao not long ago, the second young master would probably still be in custody at the Central Police Station in Hong Kong.

"Ah Heng, don't underestimate anyone! There are no fools in this world, especially those who are in the entertainment industry. They are all one person with three minds!" Shao Daheng said in a teaching tone, "If I don't say anything else, let's talk about tonight. In the final analysis, this event you organized is not about clearing your name by raising money? Everyone knows what your business started, so why do you still come here? That's mutual benefit! To set the stage, they will rely on this event to gain reputation, and we at TVB will record this event and promote it at the same time. All three parties will benefit. This is the overall situation. "

After a pause, Shao Daheng continued: "If you are only thinking about making profits for your family and treat them as tools and fools, then I am afraid that this event will have bad results in the end."

Hearing this, Li Zhaoheng hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Shao Daheng: "Uncle Six, I got carried away! I have learned a lesson!"

Shao Daheng nodded, "Don't worry, you are the protagonist tonight, no one can steal your limelight! Neither will I! As for the others -"

Shao Daheng looked at the big stars, "They don't have that qualification either."

…

"Uncle and aunt, I'm very familiar with this place! I was often invited here when I was an actor and model!" Wen Peter drove over and invited Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian to get out of the car. He said this while looking at Guan Jiahui and Du Yongxiao. people.

"Ms. Guan, my uncle and aunt may be very busy later. If you don't mind, stay with me. I'll help you introduce some big directors. Maybe with your beauty and temperament, you can be noticed by them-" Peter Wen said.

"Yes, Jiahui, why don't you stay with Peter and get to know more directors later!" Guan Yueshan also wanted to bring the two together. "Your mother and I will go there to socialize - oh, there are so many acquaintances!"

Everyone walked into the studio together, and Guan Yueshan and his wife began to greet acquaintances.

"Ms. Lin Dailin, how are you? You are still so beautiful!"

"Director Chang Cheh, what movie are you shooting recently? I heard that you have three more male actors as your adopted sons!"

Although Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian are not popular anymore, they are still popular. Everyone still greets each other and says a few polite words when they see each other.

Peter Wen here really knows a lot of people, but his status does not seem to be too high, and his words are all flattering and flattering.

Everyone just responded to him politely.

Even so, Peter Wen's performance has impressed Guan Yueshan and his wife.

At such a young age, he can "get along with everyone" in the entertainment industry, and his future is limitless.

As for Peter Wen's flattering face, they also regarded it as the humility and courtesy of young people.

In short, in their eyes, Peter Wen is good in everything.

In comparison, Du Yongxiao's side is too low-level. Not only did he not take the initiative to greet those big stars, but he also put on an attitude of "don't let strangers in". I don't know where he got the confidence from?

How could they know that Du Yongxiao at this time simply disdained to mix with these so-called big stars, and to be precise, these people were not qualified to know him.

For example, the big director Chang Cheh who was flattered by everyone was just a wage earner in Du Yongxiao's eyes. He used to make movies for Shaw Brothers, and after being poached by Golden Harvest, he also made three movies for Golden Harvest, and then was poached by Shaw Brothers with a high salary. He went wherever there was money, and there was no so-called "jianghu loyalty" at all, although the movies he shot were all jianghu movies, and the theme was also loyalty first.

Chang Che had the opportunity to meet Du Yongxiao several times, but now when he saw Du Yongxiao in this situation, he couldn't really tell whether the other party was the Commissioner of Police, the big boss of the Du Group, because Du Yongxiao was too low-key. In Zhang Che's opinion, a person of Du Yongxiao's status and position would not attend such a small event, let alone stay with old stars like Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian.

Therefore, Zhang Che thought that the young man in front of him was just a young man who looked a bit like the super tycoon "Du Yongxiao". He even made up his mind to chat with him after the socializing to see if he was willing to enter the entertainment industry. If he was willing, he would give him a chance to adopt him as his adopted son and promote him. After all, such handsome young people are scarce in the film industry.

In addition to Zhang Che, some celebrity bosses also saw Du Yongxiao. They had met Du Yongxiao several times, and some had had several contacts with him. However, no one recognized him at this moment. The reason was similar to that of Zhang Che. As the Commissioner of Police and the super tycoon of the Du Group, Du Yongxiao would be surrounded by people and stomped his feet when he appeared. Unlike the young man in front of him, he was alone and seemed to be excluded.

Such a young man certainly could not be the famous "bloody-handed butcher" Du Yongxiao, he might just be a young man who looks like him.

Seeing that no one paid attention to Du Yongxiao, Guan Yueshan and his wife felt that this young man had no future again. You have come to such an occasion, but you still can't seize the opportunity to get to know more people, which will help you improve yourself in the future. You are still putting on airs. No wonder you are so poor that you can only drive a broken car!

In comparison, Wen Peter is like a fish in water. Look, he shuttles among the stars and bigwigs like a little fish, so lively!

In their eyes, Wen Peter's humble and flattering attitude has become the "lively" and "shrewd" of young people.

Guan Jiahui was reluctant to separate from Du Yongxiao, but her parents had no choice but to pull her to introduce those big directors to her.

Wen Peter even directly treated her as a female companion and introduced her to those tycoons, bigwigs and big stars.

"Hello, this is Miss Guan Jiahui, my girlfriend!"

Wen Peter was self-indulgent, fearing that others would not know that Guan Jiahui was his girl.

"Wow, Miss Guan is so beautiful!"

"Miss Guan is worthy of her noble family background, and her future as a star is limitless!"

Those big men and tycoons are all lustful people. When they see Guan Jiahui, they are like flies seeing meat, and they want to stare at Guan Jiahui.

Those big directors see that Guan Jiahui is a promising talent and think that she will definitely become a famous actress in the future.

In the past, Guan Jiahui would be very happy to hear these compliments, but now her heart is all on Du Yongxiao. She doesn't care about these compliments and these big men and tycoons, and her answers are also perfunctory.

The more she does this, the more interested those big men and tycoons are in her. After all, they are rich and powerful. What kind of woman can't they get? Even many beauties chase them, and some directly pounce on them. How can there be someone like Guan Jiahui who disdains them?

The inferiority mentality of men makes them have a little more desire to conquer Guan Jiahui, so they use fame and fortune to seduce Guan Jiahui more and more.

"Miss Guan, are you willing to be a model? I have several international brands that need female models, and I think you are a good fit. As for the remuneration, everything is negotiable!"

"Yes, I also have several advertisements, including Longines watches, Dove chocolate, etc. If Miss Guan is interested, you can contact me. This is my business card!"

The boss took out his business card and handed it to Guan Jiahui. In the past, such business cards were always asked for by beauties, and he might not be willing to give them.

He thought Guan Jiahui would be happy to accept it, and even Wen Peter thought Guan Jiahui would do so. Unexpectedly, Guan Jiahui didn't even look at the business card, and said, "Sorry, I have a stomachache, I'll go first!" After that, she walked away without looking back.

"Uh, this--" The boss was stunned. Guan Jiahui was the first beauty who turned him down.

Wen Peter was also stunned. He felt that Guan Jiahui was too ungrateful. This boss was the department store boss Peter Lam, Peter Lam, and his father was the billionaire Lin Baixin!

Who is Lin Baixin? The Lin family has business dealings with the largest Du Group in Hong Kong. It is said that Mr. Lin has a very good relationship with the legendary super tycoon Du, and the two have also invested together in Kenya.

Wen Peter felt that Guan Jiahui missed the best opportunity given to her by God.

When Guan Yueshan and his wife learned the news, they were even more angry and beat their chests and stamped their feet. They felt that their daughter was hopeless and didn't know what was going on. Could it be that the stomachache was more important than accepting Lin Jianyue's business card?

Just when they were angry, they saw that their "stomachache" daughter Guan Jiahui did not go to the bathroom, but ran to find Du Yongxiao.

"Uh, how could this happen?"

"This girl is crazy!"

"For a poor boy, she actually-"

At this moment, Guan Yueshan and his wife were almost furious.

Peter Wen watched Guan Jiahui run to find Du Yongxiao, and his eyes shot out a vicious light.

The big boss Lin Jianyue also saw Du Yongxiao, and his heart was suddenly stunned. Uh, why does he look familiar?

He and his father Lin Baixin had been to Du Yongxiao's house as guests, and they still had a deep impression of Du Yongxiao.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could a person like him attend such an event?" Lin Jianyue immediately shook his head like a rattle.
