Chapter 74 Unity is Strength Hong Kong Island's "On the Rooftop"...
Hong Kong's "On the Rooftop" is a rare phenomenon-level TV series.
Similarly, after "On the Rooftop", other film and television companies also saw that professional dramas were so popular and launched their own professional dramas.
Some dramas are even directly imitating "Above the Rooftop", a real estate TV series.
One thing is that these dramas cannot reach the level of "On the Rooftop", nor do they have the influence of "On the Rooftop".
Thanks to "On the Rooftop", inland furniture factories directly entered Hong Kong Island and successfully opened up their own high-end furniture market.
The few Hong Kong stars who starred in "On the Rooftop" were all extremely popular.
Before, the stars of Yindu Organization could hardly compare with the stars of the right wing in any aspect, but this time they can finally hold their heads high.
We have cooperated with Neilu before, but not in this way. Who could have thought that such cooperation would have such good results? If we had known, they would have done so earlier.
This time, ATV also relied on "On the Rooftop" to return to the position of competing with TVB.
But after "On the Rooftop", ATV and Silver Channel fell into a passive position again and have been defeated by TVB recently.
Yindu also asked Zhang Xinyan to go to the mainland to find Li Daohua, hoping to cooperate again, but Li Daohua went to America at that time, and the two sides were unable to meet.
Zhang Xinyan was also deeply moved when he learned that Li Daohua went to America.
Before, Li Daohua left a legend in Hong Kong Island, and then he waved his sleeves and returned to the mainland, leaving a group of stars who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity disappointed.
He knew that many celebrities there had written letters of guarantee and made public statements in newspapers in order to draw a clear line between themselves and the inland areas.
There are more and more complete news about Li Daohua's awards in America in Hong Kong Island than in the inland areas.
This time the inland is going to send a cultural exchange group over, and Yindu is very happy to find out that Li Daohua is also in the group. He notifies his actors in advance to be prepared.
She is an author who is also very popular in America. As long as she wants, it would be very easy for her to bring a few people to Hollywood, America.
Maybe I can start from the novel and tailor a character that best fits the image, and becoming an international superstar is just around the corner.
With such a big commotion in Yindu, the other side certainly would not let it go and soon found out about it.
After the return of Hong Kong was officially confirmed, many people, except for some die-hards, began to try to find a way out for themselves.
Loyalty and the like are just for fun. Your money and life are your own. You have to plan for yourself.
This is not just the case in the film and television industry. All walks of life are like this. Even those societies have begun to look for opportunities to whitewash themselves or change careers, or to join the big bosses...
The other side was worried about their master Daiying, but at the same time wanted to send a signal of easing the situation. Li Daohua was a good opportunity.
First of all, Li Daohua is famous not only in America, but also in the entire Western countries. Many of her novels are also published in Britain. This is a symbol of civilization.
Their contact with Li Daohua was not considered contact with the inland, but an attempt to connect with the international community.
Secondly, anyone can be won over. As long as they use the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Maybe they can win Li Daohua over to their side.
What? You said Li Daohua doesn't like to speak English and only speaks Chinese at large events? No problem, we also speak Chinese, we are the same.
They have selectively forgotten that, in their eyes, speaking English is noble.
The right-wing film and television company also began to make arrangements to welcome Li Daohua. Yes, not to welcome the exchange group, but to welcome Li Daohua.
If they were to welcome the exchange group, they would be risking their lives. Daiying hasn't left yet, and this is still Daiying's territory.
After the exchange group got off the plane, they saw a clear distinction between the left and right sides, with more people on one side and fewer people on the other. The side with fewer people was obviously not as imposing as the side with more people.
The person in charge of the team recognized at a glance that the side with fewer people was the Yindu organization that they were connecting with, and walked over with ease to shake hands with the other party.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades."
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.”
Li Daohua was standing relatively forward, and when she shook hands, the other party was obviously very enthusiastic. Before she even stretched out her hand, the other party was already ready.
The temperature in Hong Kong Island is not very cold even in winter, so Li Daohua did not wear thick clothes. The tweed coat that Ouyang Yuan brought back for her from the south came in handy.
A gray tweed coat with a black sweater lining, paired with blue jeans and a pair of black leather shoes.
When she got off the plane, she put her hands in her pockets. This time she was not pretending.
It was still quite warm on the plane. No matter how mild the winter in Hong Kong Island was, it was still not as hot as on the plane. Li Daohua felt a little cold as soon as she got off the plane.
She had frostbite on her hands before. In rural areas of that era, frostbite on hands was inevitable.
Moreover, once frostbite occurs, it is easy to recur if you do not pay attention to keeping warm.
Before they moved, Ouyang Yuan bought Li Daohua gloves, a scarf and a hat to prevent her hands from getting frostbite.
Knowing that Li Daohua's hands were cold and she couldn't warm up her gloves, if she went outside, she would warm up her gloves with her hands after a while and then let Li Daohua put them on. When Li Daohua's gloves became cold, she would repeat this action.
At home, people are not allowed to touch cold water. There is always a kettle on the stove. Li Daohua usually sits by the stove when she writes manuscripts.
That’s how I didn’t get frostbite that winter.
The scars left by frostbite have completely disappeared after several years of repair, but Li Daohua doesn't want to get frostbite again.
The cracks on the joints will never heal, and they itch so much that you can't scratch them even when it's hot. This kind of pain cannot be understood by those who have never had frostbite.
Moreover, it would be even more troublesome if your hands got frostbite while writing.
The exchange group was greeting the Yindu organization, and several heads of film and television companies opposite also came over.
"Hello, Rice Flower. We represent Zhao Films and welcome you to Hong Kong Island for cultural exchange."
"We are Maoye Films, welcome Miss Rice Flower."
A group of people were introducing what companies they were from. Li Daohua had heard of some of them before, but had never heard of some of them. Maybe they had given up working for a long time.
When they called Li Daohua, they all used her English pen name. It was not just her pen name. When they spoke other words, they mixed Chinese and English.
This is a bug of Li Daohua. He spoke Chinese, showing that he can indeed speak Chinese, and he also spoke English, representing that he is inseparable from the English area.
"My name is Li Daohua." Shaking hands is for shaking hands, and corrections are for correcting.
"Miss Rice Flower, you..."
"My name is Li Daohua. You can also just call me by my pen name, Daohua. How can someone who speaks Chinese call someone else by their translated name? Are you being polite?"
Several people stood there in a daze, wondering if you were being polite. It was a huge shock.
Before coming, they saw news footage of Li Daohua attending an award ceremony and being interviewed by reporters. Hong Kong Island has indeed done a good job of integrating with the international community.
There are only newspaper reports in the country, and these videos are not available on TV.
When they saw how Li Daohua behaved abroad, they already thought that he was an arrogant, proud, unreasonable... person, but they were gentlemen.
Becoming an English gentleman is their ultimate learning goal.
Are they being called polite by such people? Who is impolite? It is clear that the person who is liked by America must not be a good person.
Only a country like America, which has no background, would like such a person.
But there was nothing to be done, since America was so powerful now, Daiying didn't dare to say anything.
Several responsible persons could only call Li Daohua "Teacher Daohua", although they complained countless times in their hearts that this name was too unfashionable.
"Teacher Daohua is coming to Hong Kong Island this time, so you must give us a chance to play host to you."
Li Daohua was about to refuse. She didn't want to be too busy. She didn't know how many activities Yindu had prepared.
I heard from the person in charge of the team that Yindu attached great importance to this cultural exchange, and it was obvious that they were preparing to exploit the labor force.
As a result, her coat was pulled a few times. She turned her head and saw the person in charge nodded slightly, which meant that she agreed.
Although she didn't know why she had to do this, Li Daohua still agreed and told them the hotel Yindu had booked for them so that it would be convenient for them to come and visit.
It was not until they returned to the hotel to rest that Li Daohua asked why he agreed.
In her opinion, this group of people had no respect for others, especially for the cultural exchange group. The normal procedure should be the same as in Yindu, contacting the team leader first, and then them.
As it is now, directly skipping the person in charge is not only disrespectful to the exchange group, but also disrespectful and irresponsible to her personally.
It's like she has some special relationship with them, come on, she's a serious person.
"Comrade Daohua, I know you don't like their style, but now, we need to unite all the forces we can unite with, and they are also the ones we want to unite with."
The main purpose of the exchange group is to slowly infiltrate Hong Kong Island from a cultural perspective and change the islanders' thinking. After all, so many years of colonialism are enough for Britain to influence Hong Kong Island's thinking.
There was no opportunity before, but now there is an opportunity, so of course we must seize it. It doesn’t matter if the other party does not value the exchange group, as long as there is a chance.
"We absolutely believe in you, Comrade Daohua. When it comes to Comrade Daohua, everyone would say that you have given our country great ambitions. Comrade Daohua not only has excellent works, but also has excellent character. Otherwise, how could we trust you to come here at this critical moment?"
The person in charge understood the art of speaking and was also well aware of Li Daohua's temper. After a string of words came out, Li Daohua couldn't suppress the smile at all.
This is exactly what she said. It's absolutely true.
At the same time, both Silver City and the Right/Faction released news to spread the good news in Hong Kong Island.
