Chapter 183 Night Song

After hanging up the phone, Su Yun began to call the staff on site and signaled them to clean up the mess.

Fang Mona, who had heard the news, hurried over to take a look. After seeing Su Yun taking the lead in handling the situation, she immediately felt relieved: "Sure enough, the fights between women are always more civilized than those between men."

It was nothing more than a quarrel and the smashing of some props and scenery. Compared to the destructive power of the stuntmen in the movie studios in the past and their unwillingness to listen no matter how much they were persuaded, the candidates in the studio really lived up to the Miss Hong Kong pageant's requirement of "equal emphasis on beauty and wisdom". Even the popular and beautiful policewoman from a police family did not rely on her skills to bully innocent people.

In contrast, those martial artists who have not read much but have a lot of brute force, when they fight, they think they are the best in the world and don't care about what happens to others. Sometimes they even fight for no reason at all, just because they are drunk. They will fight if they disagree with something, and they still shout that this is the so-called rules of the underworld.

Without high-level martial arts talents like Lu Shaolong to lead the way, most of these guys who were able to change have switched to TBB as martial arts instructors and stunt doubles. Those who were unable to change and could not adapt to the changes of the times were mostly eliminated and had to sell their physical strength to do hard labor.

This is also a big part of the reason for the decline of Zhao's old-style martial arts films: the era of only watching kung fu and not paying attention to the plot has passed, and now if you want to make a new-style martial arts film, you have to pay equal attention to both - but as of now, it is difficult for ancient costume martial arts films to beat modern costume kung fu films, and the audience's tastes have long since changed.

This is why she pushed for Zhao Rifu to shift his focus to the television industry, and only keep a few profitable people in the original Zhao Films to continue struggling.

Su Yun, who had unknowingly caused resources to shift further toward her, made an OK gesture to Fang Mona, indicating that the situation on the scene had been basically handled.

Fang Mona nodded slightly, and then hurried off to deal with the TV series crew's work.

Su Yun looked down at the script in her hand, and after asking the staff on site to prepare for rehearsal again, she calmly chatted with Zhong Bu Luo: "Ms. Fang can't even take care of such a big thing as the Miss Hong Kong finals. There must be someone or something holding her back. Please help me for a while, I will go to find Mr. Xi Zhao to ask about the situation."

The so-called "Xiao Zhaosheng" (Little Mr. Zhao) refers to the crown prince Zhao Liming. Most people in Taiwan call him that. When Su Yun and others mention him, they naturally follow the crowd and use that nickname.

Zhong Bu Luo took over Su Yun's script and nodded: "I understand, you can go without worry."

After speaking a few words to the assistant who was temporarily assigned to her, Su Yun smoothed her long hair which was a little messy from being forced to take action to control the situation, and then quickly walked out of the studio.

After arriving at Zhao Liming's office, Su Yun knocked on the door and after being allowed to enter, she simply and clearly told Zhao Liming the purpose of her visit.

"Oh, you're talking about this?" Zhao Liming suddenly realized, stood up and closed the blinds on the window, then turned around and whispered to Su Yun, "My information is not very detailed, but I heard that after Master Liu learned about this report, he put down his work and came over."

As the descendant of a martial arts family, Master Liu was a major contributor and pillar of Zhao Film Company from the old martial arts film era to the new martial arts film era. After moving to Taiwan, it was Fang Mona who took great pains to invite him back to the nest to film in 1986. If he came to Zhao Film Company for something, his words would carry a lot of weight.

No wonder Fang Mona doesn't care about Su Yun anymore - although Su Yun is very difficult to deal with as an opponent, but when she is a close friend, except for being too stubborn in certain occasions, she is very reassuring at other times.

On the contrary, the unclear relationship between Master Liu and Miss Weng, plus the fact that one of the newcomers she was planning to promote was involved in the matter, and the TV series was scheduled to be one of the major dramas in the future... With all these factors added up, Fang Mona had no choice but to resolve the matter first.

Perhaps the gossip-eating crowd always likes the gossip about "personality collapse" the most. It has only been less than half a day, and the scandal brought by that report has spread everywhere. The rumors are getting more and more outrageous and exaggerated. The theories of power-for-sex transactions and catching the couple in bed have all emerged...

Zhao Liming was also troubled by this: "Chen Boyang and Weng Jingjing are both positioned as youth idols. If this continues, both of them will be ruined."

"I've already had someone spread the news about the accident during rehearsal. If nothing unexpected happens, the evening paper will immediately report the quarrel between the Miss Hong Kong candidates during rehearsal, which will divert most people's attention. As you know, tonight is the live broadcast of the finals." Su Yun finished her arrangements and then said to Zhao Liming, "But if the two people on the filming crew are still the male and female protagonists, it's hard to say whether there will be any reporters who are forced to follow the crew to dig up information and make up stories again."

"Don't worry about this. The filming crew has already notified the screenwriter to temporarily change the script. After Weng Jingjing finishes filming the accidental cliff fall scene this afternoon, she will officially leave the TV series crew and go directly to the film crew arranged for her by Master Liu." Zhao Liming replied.

"Then she really got what she wanted this time." People have always believed that movies are superior to TV dramas. After getting involved in a not-so-nice scandal, she was able to "rise" with the protection of a powerful backer. It really is true that wealth and fame are sought through risk.

If you don't handle it well, you might end up losing both ends and losing everything.

After admiring Ms. Weng's solid multi-tasking skills and high IQ and EQ, Su Yun asked, "What about the female lead in the TV series next?"

"Let the second female lead Mao Chunjun take over. Although she is from Jiayi Academy, she does have enough experience and acting skills. It is not a good idea to change the plot framework drastically at the last minute. It would be better to let the male protagonist gradually realize that the second female lead is his true love after his first love dies unexpectedly." Zhao Liming replied.

"Oh..." Su Yun nodded with satisfaction: Although Mao Chunjun gradually transformed into a comedy heroine later, she debuted with the image of a pure and innocent girl. Not only is her appearance and acting skills online, but there has never been any bad rumors about her.

With such an excellent new female lead, maybe even Po-Yeung Chan's poor acting skills will be impacted.

As a true friend, Su Yun has always been happy to "laugh" at their respective shortcomings and conscientiously record their dark history...

At the same time, after learning that the actress for the female lead had been temporarily replaced, Chen Boyang, who had threatened to stay away from Weng Jingjing to avoid being cheated again, was completely confused.

Zhang Querong, who had taken two hours off to accompany him to the location because he was worried that he would be cheated again, was quite happy to hear the news: "That's great. You don't have to worry about being cheated anymore, and I don't have to worry about you and Maomao anymore."

The custom of TBB is that once a cast member becomes a protagonist, unless they really perform badly, their status will be fixed at the best level - not to mention that Mao Chunjun finally got the chance to turn things around, and they also suddenly lost Weng Jingjing, whose path and positioning were very similar to hers. As long as she can remain stable, her future will be bright.

Feeling happy for the future of his two good friends from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Querong acted as a go-between and briefly introduced Chen Boyang and Mao Chunjun. He also told the two to take care of each other before he hurried down the mountain to catch the bus back to his filming crew.

After Chen Baiyang completed the filming successfully, everyone openly and happily wished Weng Jingjing, who had left the group, all the best, as if they were not affected by the previous reports at all.

However, as a person involved who has always been smart, Weng Jingjing can still feel the secret alienation of some people and the deliberate flattery of others - not only in the entertainment industry, but also in the social group of people. As long as it does not reach the point of being all about you and no more about me, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they will not express or vent it easily. Instead, they will try their best to maintain a distance that everyone feels comfortable with.

Except for Chen Boyang, a little animal who was used to being pampered and protected, who looked to be in a dilemma of wanting to maintain his composure but couldn't help wanting to stay away to protect himself.

"I'm leaving, Danny." Weng Jingjing approached him and saw him subconsciously taking a small step back, so she smiled helplessly, "I still owe you an apology for what happened before. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you for this favor."

Knowing that although Weng Jingjing looked innocent and sweet, her family was actually from a gang and she attached great importance to promises, Chen Boyang could only respond awkwardly.

After confirming that there were no enemies left here, Weng Jingjing packed up her things and slowly walked towards the parking space on the mountainside.

The day seemed to pass peacefully. After the Miss Hong Kong finals was broadcast as scheduled that night, along with the rumors of a feud between the champion and runner-up in the newspapers, many people wanted to find out what was going on.

Although Su Yun, as a judge, undoubtedly outshined all the other contestants, the crowd only discussed it for a short while before there was no more fuss - after all, Su Yun is an international superstar, famous for her good looks, and she was a child star so she has accumulated many years of "star quality"; while the contestants are just amateurs who have trained for a few months, so it is completely understandable that she would be outshined.

Moreover, even if they sign contracts and become artists under Zhao and TBB in the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to achieve the same success as Su Yun - when the two people being compared are completely at different starting points and levels, then there is nothing to compare.

Therefore, most of the onlookers, including the Mei sisters and Grandma Su, still focused on the two big melons of the day and asked Su Yun who had returned home with the newspaper.

"Nothing much, it's just that the Miss Hong Kong pageant requires 'both beauty and wisdom', so the champion is usually chosen to be dignified, generous and knowledgeable, the runner-up is usually chosen to be the prettiest, and the third place is chosen to be a cute neighbor type of the first two." Su Yun explained vaguely while eating a midnight snack, "Based on their rankings, in addition to promoting Hong Kong as goodwill ambassadors, they will also be sent to represent Hong Kong in corresponding international beauty pageants such as Miss Universe and Miss World..."

"Oh, then it's really like what the saying goes, in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, choosing the champion is choosing a wife, choosing the runner-up is choosing a girlfriend, and choosing the third place is choosing a younger sister." After listening to Su Yun's explanation, the three of them seemed to have suddenly realized something.

"Yes, so the reason for the feud between the champion and the runner-up is that the runner-up was still unwilling to accept the champion winning the championship until the very end - the previous quarrel was also because the champion won the Miss Photogenic title first." Miss Photogenic and Miss Hong Kong are the two most important awards in the competition, and the person who can win these two awards at the same time can be called a "double champion". The only example of a double champion is the 1977 Miss Hong Kong champion, Zhu Ningning, who has now become a wealthy wife.

It is conceivable that the champion of the Miss Hong Kong pageant, especially the double champion, has a huge impact and appeal to all circles in this era: the rich want to pick up the double champion to brag about themselves, and ordinary people also envy the double champion for becoming famous overnight and gaining both fame and fortune.

Seriously speaking, this year's champion Dai Yuehe and runner-up Chen Fengshi each have their own beauty. The former is a GG designer so her temperament tends to be more literary, graceful, steady and dignified, while the latter is a recognized policewoman so she is heroic, valiant and gorgeous. However, in terms of current aesthetics, most people prefer the literary and graceful style.

Su Yun was not surprised by this outcome, except for the runner-up who still seemed unconvinced. Even in the last game, he had a forced smile. I guess reporters will have a lot of material to write about in tomorrow's morning papers.

However, firstly, these are no longer the responsibility of Su Yun. Secondly, all kinds of news about these newly crowned Miss Hong Kong will usually appear on the front and second pages of newspapers and magazines all over Hong Kong for several days. As long as it is not too outrageous, it can still stir up hype and attract attention, which is actually beneficial to them.

After talking about the Miss Hong Kong finals, Su Yun explained the scandal of Chen Baiyang to the Mei sisters with a smile: "It was all written by those newspapers and magazines. He was almost crying because of this..."

When talking about how Chen Boyang almost cried because of this, Su Yun was the first one to laugh out loud.

"That's so mean of you. He's in such a miserable state and you're still laughing at him. If he were here, he'd probably pout again." Working at the same TBB, the Mei sisters would occasionally meet Chen and Zhang on Happy Tonight, so of course they knew their personalities.

"Who cares? He's not here anyway. Okay, I'm done eating. I'm very tired today. I'll go upstairs to rest first. Good night, everyone." After putting the bowl away, Su Yun went upstairs while stretching his lazy back.

Probably because tonight is the Chinese Valentine's Day, when Su Yun came out after washing up, it was already drizzling outside, the legendary Chinese Valentine's Day rain.

Open the window, and the fresh air after the rain blows gently in your face. The deep blue sky is filled with countless stars, forming a glittering star belt like a rushing river, which softens the traces of time and space.

The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

Su Yun picked up the mobile phone and answered it. Immediately, a voice came from the other end that was softer and more lingering than the night breeze after the rain: "Hello? Mary?"

"Danny? It's so late, do you have something to talk to me about?" Su Yun half-lay on the bed.

"I've already recorded the new song I wrote, but because it's used as an episode in a TV series, it can't be released yet..." He asked cautiously, "I think you might want to listen to some soothing music before going to bed?"

"Of course, can you play it for me now?" Su Yun asked.

"No, I'll play it for you and sing it for you now." There was a hint of smile in his voice, and then a burst of fresh and beautiful music slowly flowed through this telephone line -

"Life is as quiet as a lake, but it becomes lively because of you..."

While playing and singing softly, he thought: This will probably be the best live version he has ever sung.

Because the person listening to the song is the one in my heart, there will never be another one like it in this life.
