Chapter 372: Ten Years in a Blink of an Eye
"Oh! What for?"
As soon as Alexey finished speaking, Tina pinched him hard on the waist.
"How could you speak so rudely in front of several ladies?"
"Uh-huh, yes, yes."
"Hurry up and help carry the luggage!"
"Oh, I'll go right away." Alexei quickly turned around and went out.
Although Tina is petite, she can treat Alexei very well.
She turned around and greeted Zhang Shouchun and the other girls with a smile: "Shouchun, Yuqing, Huairu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
She turned her head slightly to scan the decorations on the first floor of the main building, and asked with a smile, "Won't you take me on a tour?"
Then he walked up to them, winked slyly, and whispered, "I don't think the relationship between De and Diana will end so soon."
Zhang Shouchun raised his eyebrows and shrugged, his words revealing a gloating mood: "Ha, I think so too."
"Oh, what do you say?"
Tina affectionately took Zhang Shouchun's arm, her eyes constantly scanning Jin Yuqing and Qin Huairu, "Now you three are not satisfied? Could it be that there is something wrong with him? Do you need to see a doctor?"
Only Zhang Shouchun remained calm in No. 3 Middle School. Jin Yuqing and Qin Huairu blushed and their ears turned red. They couldn't help but look at each other. Why are the Russian women so open? They talk about the pleasures of the boudoir so nakedly?
Zhang Shouchun took Tina for a brief walk on the first floor. He vaguely heard Diana's call and took her upstairs to the balcony on the second floor. He asked Sister Tao to make tea. The girls sat on the balcony, enjoying the moist sea breeze and starting to chat.
"I can only blame Deming for being careless," Zhang Shouchun patted his belly, "The three of us got pregnant and gave birth at about the same time. We three just came out of confinement not long ago."
"Oh my God!" Tina covered her mouth in disbelief and screamed in a low voice: "It's been a whole year? No wonder De's eyes were like fire when he saw Diana. Didn't De find anyone else. Hmm."
Zhang Shouchun stretched out his hand to signal Tina to drink tea, and then he picked up his own teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: "He can still control himself."
"I also created opportunities for him and set up a film company in Hong Kong. You know, there are many beautiful women in the film industry. In order to make more money, they are willing to pay a little as long as they are not taken home."
"It's a pity that Deming really just regards the film company as a business." Zhang Shouchun said helplessly: "Just today, he signed a contract with the director, producer, and distributor he poached, and invested an additional 200 million US dollars."
"Oh, in this sense, Deke is really a good man," Tina sighed as she glanced down at Alexei who was busy moving luggage inside and outside.
"How to say?"
Tina said leisurely: "Which man doesn't like to cheat?"
"Uh." Zhang Shouchun and the other two girls stretched their necks to look at Alexei, who was like a bear downstairs.
Alexei occasionally looked up and waved enthusiastically with a smile.
It was not until dinner time that Wang Deming and Diana came out of the guest room on the first floor. The man looked refreshed and the woman was charming. The only drawback was that they walked unsteadily and swayed a little too much.
"I thought you two weren't even coming out for dinner?"
"Ahem." Wang Deming couldn't help but blush. "It's been a long time since we last met. It took a little too long to reminisce about the past."
"Hurry up and eat. We've been waiting for you two!" Sister Tao immediately arranged for the dishes to be served. After the two families sat down at the table, Zhang Shouchun asked Diana, "Diana, are you really not going back to the Soviet Union this time?"
Diana sat down and shook her head. "It's impossible. The Soviet Union is a socialist country. Unless you have an overseas mission, you can't stay abroad for a long time. It's just that Alexei and I spent a lot of money to get the mission to be stationed in Hong Kong."
She waved to Sister Tao, "Please pour me a glass of warm water, thank you."
"Gulp." She was really thirsty and drank it all in one breath, "Ha," "Is there any red wine at home?"
"Of course, I've prepared it for you! I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhang Shouchun gestured to Sister Tao to bring the red wine over first, "We have a special wine cellar at home, and we have stored a lot of Bordeaux red wine."
"We originally wanted to buy a few wine estates through your French classmates, but unfortunately your classmates said that most of the wine estates in France are state-owned and cannot be purchased. Moreover, most industries in France are state-owned."
"That really surprised me. Later I learned that most industries in the UK are also state-owned, so I was not surprised. It turns out that the gap between capitalist countries and us is not that big."
"Of course," Diana said as a matter of course, shaking the red wine and smelling the aroma, "If we don't concentrate the country's strength to develop, how can we compete with the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact?"
She sighed, "I heard Alexei say that life in the mainland has been difficult in recent years, and I was worried about you. Later, I learned that you came to Hong Kong, and I finally felt relieved."
"Life will get better and better." Wang Deming interrupted them and raised his glass: "Come on, let's get together again and toast."
After living in Wang's Manor for a week, Alexei and Tina moved to the Soviet Union's office in Hong Kong, or to be more precise, the office arranged for them by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for what kind of work they did in Hong Kong, everyone who knew knew it.
Until the new century, Hong Kong has gathered intelligence agencies from most countries in the world.
A month later, after completing the due diligence on the Liyuan Amusement Park by Mike Feng, Wang Deming bought out all the profits of the Liyuan Amusement Park for HK$430 million, and then spent a huge amount of money to buy dozens of acres of land around the amusement park.
Mr. Huo invited the Beijing-based architectural master Chen Zhanxiang to come to Hong Kong to prepare for the construction of the Han Palace, and Ms. Lin was also invited.
When Wang Deming was in the capital, he also wanted to preserve the various ancient buildings and city walls in the capital through his own efforts, so he knew that in addition to Liang and Lin, there was also Chen Zhanxiang.
The only difference is that Liang Lin has someone to protect him, but Chen does not, and has been working in the countryside.
Therefore, this time Chen Zhanxiang was specially invited from the mainland to Hong Kong. In addition to the construction of ancient buildings, the purpose was also to protect this little-known architectural expert.
After Li Hanxiang completed the filming of Shaw Brothers' last film "Liang Zhu" in Japan, he officially joined Chunqiu Film and Television with King Hu.
Jiang Boying lived up to expectations and successfully bought the Huada Studio and Youqiao Studio, covering an area of more than 10 square feet and owning a total of 6 large studios. It became the largest film production company in Hong Kong after Shaw Brothers and Cathay (Dianmao).
In addition, Jiang Boying also recruited several outstanding directors and editors from Great Wall Company, such as Wang Tianlin and Su Chengshou;
Many people probably have heard of Wang Tianlai, the father of Wang Sanri. Su Chengshou is probably only known to those who are familiar with him in the film industry. He was the chairman of New Kunlun Film and Television in the 80s. He helped coordinate the filming of Li Hanxiang's "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "The Last Emperor" between the two places.
As for the actors, it had to be Li Heizi. His friends: Jiang Nan, Zhu Mu all came to cast, especially the actresses: Lin Dai, Li Lihua, Lin Cui. Originally, Lydia Lo was also going to transfer, but Mr. Shaw was forced to find Wang Deming, and finally gave up.
Lin Dai is the daughter of Cheng Siyuan, a famous patriot and vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and has a godson named Cheng Baobao.
Lin Cui later had a very famous daughter named Wang Xinping.
As for Li Lihua, Jackie Chan has called her mother for 50 years.
After everything was ready for the Spring and Autumn period, excellent films emerged one after another, including Lin Dai's "Legend of the White Snake", Li Lihua's "Empress Wu Zetian", Lin Cui's "Unending Love", and the big-cast "The Fallen Princess" and "The Beauty of the Kingdom" series, which dominated all Mandarin films in Hong Kong in the 60s.
Wang Deming had only two requirements: first, no Cantonese films, people could watch them if they wanted; second, as long as the films promoted traditional Chinese culture and reflected the lives of the grassroots people, they were all OK.
In addition, due to Wang Deming's influence, Lin Dai did not marry Long Wu, but married a friend of Li Heizi, a behind-the-scenes person, and eventually changed her tragic fate of suicide.
Shaw Brothers launched Chang Cheh and Chor Yuen to make a lot of martial arts films to compete with them, and achieved good results.
But what hurt Shaw Brothers the most was the departure of general manager Zou Huaiwen. Before Cathay went bankrupt, it transferred all its cinema chains to the newly established Golden Harvest.
A new struggle begins
