Chapter 161 Chinese Talk Show
The Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade is in front of the beautiful Victoria Harbor. Cruise ships are slowly sailing on the light blue sea. Under the blue sky, the other side are towering buildings such as the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, as well as continuous green mountains and a charming scenery.
Wang Yang leaned against the iron railings on the shore and felt the comfortable breeze blowing towards him. He was in a very good mood and said softly, "This is Hong Kong, it's beautiful." Jessica next to him was also intoxicated and said to him: "Yang, the travel guide says that the night view here is more beautiful." Wang Yang looked at the tall buildings and smiled and said, "I know that the lights are colorful, and then reflected on the sea. You can enjoy them tonight."
Tourists came and went on the corridor, including black-haired Chinese tourists, and many curly white people, all lingering and watching the scenery. Wang Yang picked up the telephoto digital camera and took pictures of the Victoria Harbor in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is very suitable for the film scene. Let's see how the heroine feels..." As he said that, he retreated a few meters and took a photo at Jessica who was leaning against the pole, smiling, and said with a smile: "Please, do a few moves, this is the cover of the magazine!"
"Isn't it an audition for the movie?" Jessica laughed, then cooperated to pose casually, blew kisses with both hands, tied her hair charmingly, raised her eyebrows and stared at her funny... Wang Yang took a lot of pictures before handing the camera to Susan McCarthy, and said with a smile: "Susan, help us take a few pictures." As he said that, he walked to Jessica. The two changed their expressions and movements with bright smiles, snuggled together, and pointed at each other...
"That person over there looks like Wang Yang." A young Chinese couple passing by were enjoying the sea view. The girl with long-haired hair wearing a baseball cap suddenly found two men and women taking a photo. When she saw the man's tall and handsome, the woman was a beautiful foreign hot girl, she looked at her a few more times, but the more she looked, she became more confused and said in surprise: "That person is Wang Yang! When did Wang Yang come to Hong Kong?"
The boy wearing a T-shirt and frameless glasses also turned his head and looked at it, and he was shocked: "It's really Wang Yang and others!" Forget it, just like a person, but if two people look like each other, what is the chance of making a mistake? As a member of the movie fans, they hurried over and said happily in English: "Are you Wang Yang and Jessica?"
Wang Yang and Jessica, who were interrupted from taking a photo, did not answer the first reaction, but looked at the tourists around them from both sides. Susan also hurriedly gave a "quick evacuation" look, because they were recognized by fans at another attraction before, but soon gathered a crowd and got out for a long time before they left and came here; not to mention at the airport.
"Shhhhh!" Wang Yang kept shushing at them, pressing his voice and said, "Yes, it's us, but don't let it go, okay?" After receiving the affirmative reply, the girl in the cap screamed "ah", then immediately covered her mouth and said excitedly: "I like watching your movies so much! I am your fan!" The boy in the glasses was also very excited, looking at him and Jessica, and said, "Can you sign us?"
"Yes, yes. But relaxing, I'm no big deal; I'm not an alien, there's no 10,000 bonus." Wang Yang smiled and took the signature pen handed over by Susan, and the couple hurriedly took out the things worthy of the signature, and said, "Just sign it on the clothes." Wang Yang nodded and quickly signed it for them; then Jessica also smiled and signed his name on the T-shirts of the two.
The girl with a baseball cap looked at Wang Yang with admiration and admiration, and praised in a hurry: "You are so amazing! I'm watching your movie! "The Ghost Record" almost scared me to death!" Her boyfriend was not angry, and happily gave the camera to Susan McCarthy and asked: "Let's help us take some photos?" The girl continued to say excitedly: "I'm waiting for your "Ninth District" to be released now. All my classmates are your fans, so I'm looking forward to it! What are you talking about? Zhong has "Hangover"!"
"Thank you." Wang Yang smiled and took Jessica's hand, looked intimately at the camera, and said, "But you said you grew up watching my movie... I'm so old." The young couple laughed happily; Jessica couldn't understand Cantonese and smiled curiously.
After taking a few photos, Susan McCarthy brought the camera back to the boy in glasses. Seeing that the autographs and photos were all over, it was naturally not suitable to stay for a long time. Wang Yang and the couple said goodbye and smiled: "Then let's go first, see you next time!"
After saying that, the three of them walked quickly to the parking lot, and the two celebrities put on big sunglasses. Seeing Jessica yawning several times in a row, she seemed to be sleepy. Wang Yang asked, "Let's go back to the hotel to rest?" Jessica nodded and smiled, "But you can't go to bed so early, we have to make the jet lag."
Seeing their figures gradually moving away, the girls from the cape retracted their gazes and shouted happily "yeah".
In the elegant and luxurious suite at the InterContinental Hotel in Hong Kong, Wang Yang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, holding his mobile phone, looking at the dreamy scenery outside. Under the night, Victoria Harbor is brightly lit, and the tall buildings along Wan Chai are covered with purple blue and red... The flashing streaming light makes the water surface have a hazy reflection, showing the beauty of the Oriental Pearl.
"Yang, many people here in Hong Kong want to know you. They all told me that they wanted to see the style of a Hollywood director." Jackie Chan said enthusiastically on the other side of the phone. The two had no friendship before, but had met at the awards ceremony. Tonight, Jackie Chan learned about Wang Yang's arrival in Hong Kong, so he called over and wanted to hold a hospitality dinner for him and invite some familiar celebrities to attend.
Listening to Jackie Chan's words, Wang Yang smiled softly and refused, "No, thank you very much." Jackie Chan still invited him to smile and said, "Let's just give him the friendship of the landlord?" Looking at the Victoria Harbour outside, Wang Yang shrugged and smiled, "I don't treat myself as a guest. I feel like I'm here like going home. But Jay, I really don't need it anymore. I'm here for a trip this time and don't want to make so many things."
This weekly Asian holiday was made up by him every day in the editing room, just to accompany his girlfriend and play. He just wanted to enjoy the travel method of ordinary people without any work. If he attended a celebrity banquet, had reporters, and had to know so many people, it was hard for him not to think about "mit-21-team", so forget it.
"Oh, that's how it's like." Jackie Chan was quite disappointed in his voice, and asked again, "How about I treat you to a meal?" Wang Yang scratched his head, but refused, "Uh, thank you, but you know I want to enjoy the world of two people." Jackie Chan laughed, "I understand, I understand, OK, then next time? Have fun!"
After finishing the call, Wang Yang enjoyed the night view of Victoria Harbor for a while, and came to the bed in the spacious bedroom. He looked at the sweet and sleeping Jessica with a smile. Just as he was about to go to bed and end the day, the silent phone in his hand suddenly shook again. Who is it? He looked at the screen of the phone, which was a text message sent by the agent Paul Emory. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, walked out of the room, called and asked, "Paul, what's wrong?"
"Yang, good evening, is it evening in Hong Kong now?" Paul Emory joked before saying the serious matter: "I don't know what happened. Now more than one billion people in China know that you are going to Hong Kong, maybe it's your blog?" Wang Yang said no, it was indeed that blog, it was really ridiculous. He pressed his forehead and smiled: "Today I was surrounded by fans at the airport, and I was surrounded by them on the street... Oh my God, they are so enthusiastic."
Paul Emory continued: "Your popularity is too high. A TV station Phoenix TV contacted me just now. They knew that you were in Hong Kong and wanted to invite you to record a Chinese conversation program and share your story called "Lu Yu Youyou". Are you interested?"
Lu Yu has an appointment? Wang Yang frowned in confusion, as if he had heard of it on a Chinese website, and asked: "Is it just a talk show? How long will it take to record?"
Paul Emory didn't seem to be very clear, and said, "The broadcast time of one episode is half an hour, and it takes about an hour before and after recording. They also said that you can record wherever you like, and you can record wherever you like, in a cafe outside, in a hotel room. I just checked it, it was a one-on-one conversation. There is no live audience, so it should be considered a talk show, right? This TV station can be seen in Hong Kong and China. "Lu Yu Youyou" is very popular among similar programs."
Looking at the night view outside the window, Wang Yang thought, "Well, I think about it..." It's enough for an hour, just in the hotel room, and Hong Kong and Chinese audiences can see it. After thinking for a while, he nodded and smiled, "Okay, tomorrow at 9 o'clock, it's just here in the hotel. If possible, I'll have no problem."
He thought he had never been on a Chinese talk show, and the fans here were so enthusiastic and liked him. They must want to know more about him, from a Chinese show rather than an American show. Since the time and place are so light, why not? He likes to see the happy look of fans and fans, because that will make him feel happy.
"But why are there no live audiences in talk shows? There is no studio?" Wang Yang couldn't figure it out. Without live audiences, there would be a lot of laughter and fun. Paul Emory couldn't answer: "I don't know, maybe this kind of format is popular in Hong Kong, right?" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing when he thought of the crazy fans today: "How is it possible?"
At the same time, millions of Hong Kong people were watching the entertainment news program "Interactive Entertainment Circle" on the TVB channel, and a news made countless young people scream "ah", explaining that they were not at the airport today!? On the TV screen, the host Wu Wenxin (third place in 1998) smiled and smiled at another host Yin Ying, saying, "Is there something big today?"
"Damn it! My idol comes to Hong Kong! I really want to see the distance!" Yin Ying was very excited and intoxicated. Wu Wenxin nodded in agreement and said, "It's all my idol! What's going on?" After they said that, the TV screen turned around and saw that the pixels of the picture were very low. It was just right that you could see clearly that a large group of fans were chasing the stars. The messy scenes were full of screams and cheers, and there were also calls from "Yang!" "Yang Zai!" and other calls.
The female narrator said happily: "Holly Director Wang Yang suddenly came to Hong Kong with his girlfriend Jessica Alba today. According to his blog, he came to Asia to watch the World Cup, but the first stop was Hong Kong. And more than a hundred fans who intercepted his whereabouts through the blog came to the airport to pick them up, and the scene was shocked. Shenqi Yang was not scared to the person. He was a signature nice smile and spoke vernacular with his fans. Whether it was autographed, photo, handshake, and hugged, he would not refuse everyone, satisfy the requests of the fans one by one."
"But there are too many fans in the department. In the end, both Jessica were escorted away by the airport security guards. Before getting on the bus, he said, 'Thank you for your support. I'm so happy to come to Nidu. I love Hong Kong', which made fans lose control of the big guy again."
At this time, the TV screen was replaced with clear video data, which was the red carpet for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Under the flash, Wang Yang and Jessica in suits and evening dresses were smiling and accepting the reporters' photos. The narrator continued: "The Magic Yang is a supernova in Hollywood in recent years. He debuted at the age of 18 and directed 4 works in four years. At the age of 22, he has a global box office of 1.5 billion US dollars. He is nominated for the finest Golden Globe Awards Best Director; he is also the most popular Hollywood star in Hong Kong in recent years. If you see Magic Yang, Qian Qiwupu forgot to sign it!"
"What a great style!" The TV screen returned to the studio. Wu Wenxin pretended to be a scheming person and suddenly shouted with a joke: "I have to, producer, we want to invite Qiao to come and do the show!" Yin Ying's eyes were shiny as if she was a scheming person, and she nodded and said: "Okay, okay!"
When the sun gradually rose, the night view of Victoria Harbour disappeared in the daytime, and Hong Kong changed into the morning. The next day we arrived here, Wang Yang and Jessica got up early in the morning, and then happily went shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui, Wan Chai and other places with sunglasses all day long. But despite wearing sunglasses and then wearing hats, it seemed that it was even more eye-catching. Perhaps the characteristics were too obvious. Anyway, they were recognized by fans many times, but fortunately they signed and escaped quickly, without causing a blockage.
After playing one night, they returned to the hotel. The two had dinner in the restaurant. Shortly after returning to their room, the recording team of "Lu Yu You Appointment" arrived on time.
In the spacious living room, on the comfortable fabric sofa, wearing a white dress, Chen Luyu, a slim figure, sat on the right, while Wang Yang, a T-shirt and cloth pants, was on the left, the photographer and director in front were operating a radio-grade camera, and a sound recorder and lighter were working; Jessica sat on a chair outside the camera reading a magazine, looking up at them from time to time with a smile.
"Oh my God, I'm so nervous!" Chen Luyu smiled with his mouth covering his mouth. The recording was about to begin. The two of them chatted casually for a while before so that they could get familiar with each other's speaking style and also reminded not to talk about sensitive political topics. But now she felt a little pressure in her heart. Shenqiyang spoke very humorously, thought quickly, and joked all day long, as if she wanted to tease the host. It was the style of an American relaxed talk show. She had to keep up with the pace.
Wang Yang casually put his hands on the sofa and said with a smile: "Relax! I won't ask you privacy questions." Chen Luyu laughed again and said: "Start recording?" Wang Yang nodded without any attention. This was the first time he recorded a talk show without a live audience. The photographers over there turned on the machine, and the recording officially began. Wang Yang waved to the camera lens and said with a smile: "Hey, hello everyone, I am Wang Yang! Today's guest is Chen Luyu, and she is next to me."
Unexpectedly, he really played like this, Chen Luyu had to make himself look stunned. Seeing that she had not cooperated, Wang Yang shrugged. Chen Luyu opened his mouth and said, "Wang Yang, do you know how popular you are in China?" Wang Yang smiled and said, "Wow, give me a surprise?" Chen Luyu smiled and continued, "You are the idol of countless young people and role models to learn from. All those who watch movies, even many children, know that there is a Chinese director named Wang Yang."
Thinking of the crazy pursuit he has been in Hong Kong these two days, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Well, before coming to Hong Kong, I did not think I would be so popular. I am very grateful for everyone's love for me!" He looked at the camera lens and smiled in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English: "Thank you, thank you!"
Chen Luyu raised the topic and smiled: "You are fluent in Chinese and can also speak some Cantonese. I know that many immigrants from Chinatown don't know how to speak Chinese, but you are the third generation. This is your visit to Asia this time." She asked: "Is there any story here?"
"Story? Actually, it's nothing." Wang Yang smiled and spread his hands. Maybe he had a talent for language? He smiled and said, "You know that my family runs a restaurant, and the guests speak all languages; and my grandparents, and then my master, you know that I have practiced Bajiquan since I was a child; they all speak Chinese, and they also taught me to say." He recalled the past, looked up with his eyes, and smiled and said, "My master taught me a lot of Chinese culture, Go and chess, couplets... I can also write brush calligraphy, but I don't write well, that is, the characters written with brush, not calligraphy."
"Hahaha." Chen Luyu covered his mouth with his right hand and smiled warmly, "It's great, it's great." Wang Yang nodded and smiled, "It's good." Chen Luyu asked again, "Do you have good grades?" Thinking of him as a student at the University of Southern California, she added, "I mean when I was a child, your parents and master were strict with you?"
Results? Wang Yang rolled his eyes with a strange expression and said, "Oh, if you are a Chinese, but your grades are not good... God!" He kept sighing and shook his head. Chen Luyu was about to say, "Is that bad?" He suddenly looked happy and widened his eyes and smiled, "Congratulations! That means you are not a nerd! You don't have glasses, you don't have all A; but you have basketball and girlfriend."
Chen Luyu's shoulders trembled, and said, "Who are you? What do you have?" Wang Yang smiled and turned his head back, and said, "I may be very worthy of beating when I say that, but I don't have glasses in those four items. So I have never been scolded in this regard. No, they all say, 'Don't do bad things, just be happy by yourself', but my master is very strict with me, in terms of kung fu."
The two talked about this topic for a while, Chen Luyu crossed his legs and suddenly asked, "Do you like watching Chinese movies?" Wang Yang nodded immediately and smiled, "Of course! I have watched a lot of Chinese movies in 22 years, from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China, and I have watched the original soundtrack, so my Chinese level is acceptable."
"Well, that's great." Chen Luyu smiled and asked again: "Which director's movie do you appreciate the most, or do you like the most?"
Wang Yang looked unconscious and spread his hands and smiled, "There are too many, I can't say that I appreciate the most, because every director has his own style, which will make you like and appreciate." He thought about the Chinese movies he had thought about, looked at Jessica over there, and smiled, "For example, I like Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest". Its method of using the camera is incredible. I think... it is 'faithful'; and its lines are very classic: If the memory is a can, I hope it will never expire. If there is a deadline, I hope it will be ten thousand years."
He couldn't help laughing as he said, frowning and laughing, "Stephen Chow ruined everything. Haha, they are all very classic." Chen Luyu touched his chin and said, "You really know Chinese movies!" Wang Yang smiled, "Of course, are there any fakes? I also like John Woo, "The True Color of Heroes", which is very cool; and I also like Tsui Hark's..."
After talking about the director, Chen Luyu continued to the next topic: "Which Hong Kong and Taiwan actor do you like?" Wang Yang thought for a while, and many faces changed quickly, saying: "I also have many answers to this question, because many guys are great!" He smiled and said: "I can't say it, Stephen Chow, Tony Leung, Tony Leung, Tony Leung..."
"Did you ever think about making Chinese movies? Will you shoot them in the future?" Chen Luyuyi stood on the sofa and looked at him with anticipation. Wang Yang said seriously: "If you feel like you come, I will try it. Any movie type theme is. In fact, Blue Sky Studio already has a plan. We will make an animation, ancient martial arts type, and it is all full of Chinese culture." He smiled and said: "But it will take a few years for everyone to see it."
"Really?" Chen Luyu stared in surprise and asked, "It's too sudden, too unbelievable, is this true?" Wang Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Really." Chen Luyu asked again, "Really?" Wang Yang nodded, "It's really."
Chapter completed!
