Chapter 489 A Chinese Ghost Story, Meeting Xiaoqian at Night! (Subscribe)

As early as the end of the last century,

Kowloon already had movies, and then there was the prototype of commercial movies. Now it is 1962, and after more than half a century of development, Kowloon's film industry is now even more prosperous.

The best among them is the famous "Shaw Brothers Company" in later generations!

There is also 'Rediffusion Television'.

However, with the emergence of Wu Youde, there is now another "Dongfang Television". It is worth mentioning that "Rediffusion" produces very few films, while "Shaw Brothers Company" produces a large number of films.

'Oriental TV' is somewhere in between.

In the past three years, I have only made three movies and one TV series.

The small amount of films produced is not due to the poor quality of the production department of "Oriental TV", but the requirements put forward by Wu Youde to them.

A movie should be made well and seriously, and reject shoddy work!

He requires that every film produced by Oriental TV be a masterpiece, whether it is the framing, makeup, character dialogue, sound effects, etc., all of them must be perfect and must highlight the strength and taste of Oriental TV.

For example, when filming a costume war movie, there is a huge battle between thousands of people, but you only have a few dozen people fighting there...

This is definitely not possible!

I’m not going to talk about finding 10,000 people to take the photo, but at least you have to create that momentum in terms of framing and atmosphere!

In Wu Youde's opinion, although early Hong Kong films covered a wide range of genres and flourished in abundance, their quality was really not that good. Perhaps saying "not that good" is a compliment, and it would be more appropriate to say that they were garbage!

Some of these terrible dramas are so disgusting that they can kill you!

Take the several films that Oriental Television has produced, for example. Wu Youde is not very satisfied with them. But this is because the production department lacks experience. Many shooting and editing techniques are still immature and need accumulation and experimentation.

Another thing is that it is limited by the equipment!

For example, clarity, wide angle, dubbing, etc.

Fortunately, Wu Youde had an electronics factory. In addition to researching and inventing televisions, Farnsworth was also well-versed in cameras. Now the electronics factory's research institute had a project team specializing in camera research.

The cameras used by 'Oriental TV' are all produced by electronics factories. This can be regarded as a combination of production and research. I believe that with continuous research, the cameras produced by electronics factories will become more and more advanced.

……

Since there is a TV station and a production department, there will naturally be no shortage of actresses!

Tong Fu is now the director of "Dongfang TV Station" and he is in charge of everything. This guy likes new things and even more likes watching movies.

When the TV station was first established, he recommended himself and volunteered to go to the TV station to help, and Wu Youde agreed. Over the past few years, Tong Fu has done a good job and the TV station has developed rapidly.

The 'Lottie' he mentioned is an actress signed by 'Dongfang TV'.

Wu Youde had no impression of this name at first, and it was only when he saw her in person at the production department's audition for the leading actress that he remembered who she was...

Isn't this Nie Xiaoqian? ? ?

Afterwards, 'Oriental TV' filmed a movie called "A Chinese Ghost Story" with Lotte Tsang as the heroine. Just like in history, the movie received rave reviews after its release!

Lotte has an elegant temperament and a quiet and demure personality.

Her ancient costume looks are pure and elegant, stunningly beautiful, and very popular with the audience. As a result, major newspapers and magazines in Kowloon unanimously gave her the title of "classical beauty", a title that was recognized by countless audiences.

No one can beat it!

In 1960, "A Chinese Ghost Story" also participated in the "Cannes Film Festival" in France. It was the first Chinese color film to participate in an international film festival.

Lo Ti was so stunning that she was hailed by Westerners as "the most beautiful Chinese female star".

Wu Youde knew better.

Since Lotte Tsai's successful interpretation of "A Chinese Ghost Story", "A Chinese Ghost Story" has become the most popular theme for remakes in the following decades. Lotte Tsai is widely known as the "ancestor of A Chinese Ghost Story" because she started the craze for Nie Xiaoqian.

It is worth mentioning that,

According to history, Lotti was originally signed by Shaw Brothers, but with the emergence of Oriental Television, she became a contracted artist of Oriental Television.

'Oriental Television' has a strong background, great financial power, good welfare benefits, and a more generous salary mechanism for artists. Unlike the monthly salary system of 'Shaw Brothers', it adopts a more reasonable basic salary + profit-sharing system.

In addition to Lydia Lo, it also attracted many actors and talents.

For example, Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan, etc.

These two were originally among the four great directors of "Shaw Brothers" in history. The former was good at erotic films and historical palace films.

His well-known representative works include "The Kingdom and the Beauty", "The Demon Empress", "The Butterfly Lovers", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Warlord", "Sex and the City", etc. Various classic lines are thrown out in the films, making him the king of jokes.

King Hu is a well-known martial arts director who is extremely good at shooting martial arts films and is well-known overseas.

His representative works include "The Drunken Master", "The Female Knight", "Dragon Inn" and "Swordsman".

And now,

After he became famous with the movie "Drunken Master" at Shaw Brothers, he followed Li Hanxiang to "Oriental Television".

……

Hearing Tong Fu say that Letty wanted to see him,

Wu Youde didn't ask stupidly what he wanted to do with him.

If a beautiful woman wants to see you, then let her meet you. Meeting her not only means you can get a piece of meat, but it can also be a feast for your eyes. How great is that?

then,

Wu Youde and Tong Fu went to the large office on the top floor. The office was nearly 100 square meters and was very exquisitely decorated.

The mahogany floor is well waxed and shines like a mirror.

It is covered with a thick cashmere carpet, and people feel very comfortable walking on it as if they are walking on cotton. A set of intricate, exquisite and beautiful crystal chandeliers are hung on the ceiling.

There are cowhide sofas, lush green potted plants, and a transparent fish tank half a person's height and three meters long, with several golden arowana swimming in it...

In a word: luxurious and noble.

This office does not belong to Tong Fu, but was prepared by him for Wu Youde.

Wu Youde often came to the TV station, so he did not refuse Tong Fu's kindness.

……

I heard the door open,

A person stood up from the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She had long black hair with a shell hairpin on the back of her head, and her hair hung down naturally.

Looking from behind, she is tall and has a graceful back.

Then she turned around and looked towards the door, revealing a pretty and elegant face. When she saw Wu Youde, her red lips curved and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

But she smiled without showing her teeth, and her manners were quite elegant, giving people the feeling of a lady from a noble family!

"Hello Sir."

Letty walked around the sofa and greeted him, smiling, "Sorry to bother you, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

"It's okay. I'm honored to be invited by a beautiful lady."

Wu Youde smiled, then extended his hand and invited, "Sit down."

Letty nodded with a smile, "Sir, you go first."

Tong Fu, who was behind, turned around silently, retreated quietly, and closed the door.

……

After they sat down,

Wu Youde looked at Letty and said with a smile, "Miss Letty, is there anything I can help you with?"

Hearing this,

Letty frowned slightly, pouted her red lips, and said with some complaint: "The sir just said it was an honor, but now he's asking what's the matter. This changes too quickly...

Which one is true and which one is false?"

"Haha, same to you. Miss Le is no less capable than you!" Wu Youde said with a smile.

You're talking about yourself, you change your expression very quickly, okay?

After hearing Wu Youde's pointed words,

Letty burst out laughing again, she covered her mouth and said in a sweet smile: "Sir, I really can't hide anything from you!"

Wu Youde looked at his watch and smiled, "So, what's the matter?"

Letty's face straightened, and she said seriously, "I heard that you came to the TV station. I want to invite you to lunch. I wonder if the lord will give me this honor?"

Have a meal?

Wu Youde looked at Lydia, who was serious and earnest, and suddenly found it a little funny.

This girl is quite good at having fun, eh?

"Just eat, why are you so serious? I hope you will tell me something important in the future." Wu Youde couldn't help but complain.

"Hee hee~"

Letty smiled and said, "For you, Sir, what can be called a big deal? I am just an ordinary girl, how can it be a big deal?"

Are you still ordinary?

Wu Youde was speechless and said with a smile: "If you are ordinary, then there will be no normal people in this world...

Let's not talk about your beautiful and outstanding appearance, let's talk about your family background...

How many people in this world have a grandfather like the Jiangbei Tycoon? "

"Hehe~ Sir, I just thought you were praising me?" Letty said with a smile and winked at Wu Youde.

"Ah."

Wu Youde nodded, "You can think so."

As the saying goes: Peonies cannot be grown in sorghum fields.

The same goes for a human being. Lydia's elegant temperament and vague aura of wealth are definitely not something an ordinary family can produce.

Although her father was not very lucky, her grandfather was very lucky.

He was poor and suffered a lot when he was young.

In order to survive, he ran to Shanghai and joined the Green Gang in his early twenties. He had hundreds of disciples under him and later became a famous gang leader.

He was nicknamed 'Jiangbei Tycoon'.

Although his status and strength were not as good as Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, he was only inferior to them. Apart from these three people, his grandfather was quite influential in the Green Gang.

and,

Her father died early, and she was a posthumous child. Her father was killed in a bomb before she was born. Her mother took her back to her parents' home, and she grew up with her grandmother.

Therefore, she lived a very wealthy life since childhood.

Miss Shanghai, how can that not be elegant?

A real socialite!

Seeing Wu Youde not speaking,

Letty pursed her lips, looked at him with her big watery eyes, blinking, and said in a tender voice: "Sir, you haven't said whether you are willing or not?"

"Ha ha……"

Wu Youde came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Yes, of course I am willing. Who would miss the opportunity to have lunch with a beautiful woman?

What's more, it's free food?"

Letty's face immediately lit up with smiles. She patted her purse and said in a sweet voice, "I just got my salary! I promise you'll have enough to eat!"

"Haha, then I won't be polite."

……

Shanghai socialites are indeed extraordinary!

The socialites of that time were real socialites, not the Western-style ones of later generations where "seven or eight people would group together to buy a pair of lettered stockings and wear them together."

Nowadays, socialites come from prominent families and have received excellent education since childhood. Their every move and every word are the result of cultivation and influence.

Just like this moment,

Letty peeled the lobster for Wu Youde. Her movements were very graceful, neither hurried nor slow, and very methodical. The shiny little scissors seemed to come alive in her hands, and she cut the lobster legs very flexibly.

She changed to a small spoon and stroked it lightly.

The tender white lobster leg meat was picked out. She picked up the lobster leg meat with chopsticks and gently dipped it in the sauce. She lifted her white wrist and placed it on the plate in front of Wu Youde.

"Sir, please try it. The sauce in this restaurant is very unique."

"it is good."

Wu Youde smiled and nodded.

Having reached his current position, he is naturally not afraid of other people's opinions. He can do things as he pleases and be clear-minded. What is more important is to be happy.

Not to mention a Shanghai socialite, he would even eat the lobster peeled by the Queen Mother.

Wu Youde picked up the lobster meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and nodded secretly. The taste was indeed good and different from what he had eaten before.

"good."

"Please peel two more for me, thank you."

Letty smiled and nodded, "Wait a moment, Sir, you can try the steamed grouper, it tastes great too~"

"Okay." Wu Youde readily agreed.

That's it.

Letty was in charge of peeling the fruits, while Wu Youde was in charge of eating them. The two of them had a pleasant lunch, and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves greatly.

A socialite is a socialite.

When most people eat lobster, the table is left with a horrible mess after finishing.

After the socialite finished eating the lobster, there was no residue or crumbs on the table. There was a big lobster lying on the plate, but its insides were hollowed out.

The lobsters that have been eaten can still be put together.

Cattle!

Wu Youde gave Lydia a thumbs up and then stood up to say goodbye. When they were about to part, Lydia invited Wu Youde to watch Marseille tomorrow.

Marseille is another classic sport in Kowloon.

Wu Youde agreed wholeheartedly.

He has learned a lot of skills through the system over the years, one of which is horsemanship.

Which man can resist the temptation of galloping on horseback?

So, he not only had horses, but also his own cavalry.

However, by the next day, he had completely forgotten about the matter. He spent the whole day playing with his children at home and only remembered it in the evening.

amount……

It was already dark and the Marseilles had ended long ago.

Or just forget it?

I'll apologize next time we meet.

Wu Youde thought to himself, but at eight o'clock in the evening, he suddenly received a call from the horse farm.

The call was from Niu Longtai, who said he went horseback riding in the evening and met Letty at the stable.

"..."

Wu Youde was speechless.

After thinking about it, he changed his clothes, took a car down the mountain and went to the horse farm.

More than half an hour later,

Under the cover of night, in an empty horse farm, a tall woman with a slim back was leaning on the railing and looking at the starry sky.

"What a stubborn person!"
