Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 110: It's actually more fun to be picked up by a girl

The movie was pretty good.

Especially when watching on the big screen, there are many differences compared to watching on a computer.

This movie was just released a few days ago and is currently very popular. When Cao Yukun and his friends rushed to a nearby cinema, they bought tickets for the 6:10 show, and the occupancy rate was more than half full.

Jet Lee, one of the top celebrities in the current popular film and television circles, is paired with two beauties, Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin, who are both in their prime, and an androgynous, heroic and domineering Dongfang Bubai, plus the blessing of the original novel... It should be said that this lineup is bound to be a big hit.

Well, it was probably from this film that Lai Ching-ha’s domineering female aura was discovered?
You know, when she debuted in Taiwan, she was pure and innocent. Her plain but stunningly beautiful appearance was already unique in itself. When she reached middle age, she suddenly changed her acting style, but she conquered the entire Chinese-language film industry again with her androgynous heroic style... She is so beautiful!
The highest level of beauty in oriental aesthetics.

And as expected, this kind of beauty is almost universally recognized. Even the other two top beauties who appeared in the same movie and had considerable roles could not overshadow her.

During the movie, some men and women were already whispering to each other. After the movie was over, everyone was leaving, and some people couldn't wait to start discussing it with their friends.

But Fang Lijing didn't seem to agree, "I still like the old Li Qingxia, she was so beautiful and gentle. This one is also pretty, but she's not gentle at all! Ah Kun, what do you think?"

"I said? I can do anything! I can't get a bath!"

"Do you like picking up girls?"

"No! In comparison, being picked up by a girl is actually more enjoyable."

"So... is it Miss Zhou who is courting you?"

"I don't know! How can feelings be so clearly defined? If they can be together, they must be in love with each other! Otherwise, I will either sue you for harassment or rape!"

When I walked out of the cinema, I suddenly felt a little hungry.

So I asked her to have something to eat on the way.

Each person gets a bowl of beef offal noodles.

While we were eating, as luck would have it, a few young people at the table next to us stood up and asked the boss to buy a few bottles of sour plum juice. While they opened the bottles and drank them, they started discussing.

The opinions were not completely consistent, two said it was delicious, and one said it was just average, but obviously, she felt the taste was acceptable. However, according to her, she had drunk four or five bottles in these days, and had not won a single prize.

Not sure if the boy was her boyfriend, he stood up again, bought three more bottles and asked her to open them.

Coincidentally, this time she really won the "Another Bottle" prize.

She immediately took the bottle cap and happily went to the boss to exchange it for a drink. When she unscrewed it, she was so lucky that she won another bottle - the three young people were so happy!
While eating noodles and watching the excitement around them, Fang Lijing suddenly stood up, went to buy two bottles of sour plum juice and handed one to Cao Yukun, "You treated me to a movie and beef offal noodles, and I'll treat you to a drink!"

Cao Yukun smiled and took it. The two of them seemed to have telepathic connection and unscrewed the buttons at the same time. The result was almost the same sigh in unison - both bottles were unsuccessful.

This method of getting another bottle is probably common in later generations, but at that time in 1992, at least in China and Hongkong, Cao Yukun had never seen it, so it can probably be regarded as an original promotional method.

When considering the winning ratio, Cao Yukun took into account the fact that each box contained 16 bottles and each can also contained 16 cans, and finally decided to set the ratio at one-eighth, or 12.5% ​​of the winning ratio - there were two winning bottles in each box. In fact, from a commercial point of view, this was equivalent to giving the box an 8.75% discount.

It seems that the situation is pretty good and everyone agrees with it.

The taste is acceptable, and it offers more than other drinks at the same price. The advertising bombardment creates a certain communication effect and attracts traffic, and then the "have another bottle" slogan leads to a steady increase in sales.

We need to continue promoting it. Once cash flow is generated, we will have no shortage of money. We need to create hype and brag about it, until this midsummer, it becomes the most popular beverage in Hongkong!
In short, just do it, with all the tricks you can think of!

"I heard from my brother that your shipments have been increasing recently. You... are going to make a fortune!"

"A fortune..."

Cao Yukun hesitated for a second, then patted the plastic bag on the table and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Fang Lijing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although they had met and talked a lot before, she did not expect that a rich man like Cao Yukun, who was also a young man, even one year younger than her, would not be willing to throw away even a handful of vegetables. He actually carried them to the movies and then carried them to eat noodles.

But in the end, Cao Yukun nodded and said, "But... well, if it's too big, then it won't work, but an ordinary person can't make as much as I do in a month in their entire life."

"I've always thought you were amazing. My brother said you were good at business and would definitely make a fortune. I felt that you were not only good at business. What you said about Hongkong citizen culture the other day was so profound. I was afraid I would forget it later, so I wrote it down when I got home. I'll show it to you someday. Can you help me fill in the gaps?"

"Write down my words? Ha... I just said them casually."

"No! It's so profound! I think many professors at Chinese universities may not be as profound as you."

"Ah...you are so good at talking and making me happy!"

"No! I'm speaking from the heart!"

A bowl of beef offal noodles is not enough to fill me up, so I had two braised goose legs to chew on, which was so satisfying.

After paying the bill, they carried their plastic bags and strolled home - to be honest, it was really hot today, the kind of stuffy heat that made people extremely uncomfortable. Cao Yukun felt that it might rain heavily tonight - it was a pity that Comrade Lao Cao was not here, otherwise his prediction would definitely be more accurate.

Walking all the way back, with such little exercise, both of them had sweat on their heads and faces.

As they were almost home, Cao Yukun turned his head to look at her and saw that her white T-shirt was already sticking to her body in many places, so he asked her, "Do you want to come home and enjoy the air conditioning?"

It is said that there is an air conditioner installed in her living room - Hong Kong seems to prefer to call the air conditioner an air conditioner - but Cao Yukun is not sure whether the air conditioners of this era are not energy-saving or her parents are simply worried about the electricity bill. In short, her air conditioner is not turned on normally, and it will only be turned on for a while after Fang Zhihao comes home.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't Miss Zhou coming back?"

Cao Yukun answered calmly, "I will be back, but it will be late, around ten o'clock!"

She bit her lip, a trace of struggle flashed across her face, but she finally said, "Okay! Then let's go to your house and enjoy some air conditioning... It's really hot today."

So he took her upstairs, turned on the air conditioner first, then took out a bucket of herbal tea from the refrigerator, poured a cup and handed it to her first - but, since she entered the door, her face suddenly looked not right.

When she came before, she always looked cheerful and excited, like a vibrant college student.

This time he just sat on the sofa, holding the cup of cold tea in his arms, lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhou Aimin was not at home, but there was a pair of pink ladies' slippers at the door, and several pairs of ladies' sneakers, high heels and high-heeled sandals in the simple shoe cabinet. When I entered the house, I found it very clean and tidy, but the door of the master bedroom was open, and I could see a lot of ladies' exquisite underwear and two nightgowns hanging on the balcony.

All of this undoubtedly indicates one thing: the two of them really have started living together.

Not only did A Kun succeed in his business and start to make a fortune, he was also dating a famous celebrity in Hong Kong. The beautiful lady was a big star who could sell hundreds of thousands of records and earn a hundred thousand dollars for a movie!
Very inferior.

"Drink it!" Cao Yukun finished his work and sat down next to her with a cup of herbal tea. Seeing that she was just holding the cup and not drinking, he urged her. However, the next moment, she suddenly put down the cup, stood up, and lowered her head. "I may have eaten something unclean this morning, and I have a stomachache. I'll go back first!"

Cao Yukun suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

She did not struggle, and Cao Yukun did not pull her hard.

"I really have to go!" she said.

Cao Yukun hesitated for a moment, then let go, "Okay!"

So she quickly fled from here in an extremely embarrassed manner.

Hearing the careful sound of a door closing, Cao Yukun sighed helplessly, patted his forehead, and thought to himself that he was not cruel enough or lustful enough after all.

Forget it, let her be!
After drinking a few sips of herbal tea and using the air conditioner for a few minutes, he felt the restlessness in his heart subside a little. He got up, took off his clothes and went to take a shower. However, before he finished, he heard the phone ringing in the living room. When he came out of the shower, it rang again, so he picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, who is this?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy, but Huang Zhan's voice was still recognizable at one go, "Ah Kun, my Uncle Zhan is out for a midnight snack!"

Cao Yukun laughed, "Why, there are so many people today? Does anyone want to see the handsome guy again?"

James Wong also laughed out loud, "'East is Red' is selling so well, let's celebrate, hey, there are several beautiful ladies sitting next to me, don't you want to meet them? Come on, come on, you come to see the beauties, I come to see the handsome guys, both are profitable!"

Cao Yukun laughed, thought about it, and was really tempted.

A simple beauty might not necessarily seduce him. In fact, recently, he and Zhou Aimin lived together in this small house every day, leading a life that could almost be described as a young couple, which he quite enjoyed. If he had any lustful thoughts, he would rather suppress them than disturb this comfortable tranquility.

But... Li Qingxia is not among them!
When I think of her heroic face on the big screen, I really want to get to know her!

Many years later, I can still brag to my sons and grandchildren, "Oh, Zhou Aimin is pretty. I lived with her back then. People in Hongkong call it dating. Oh, Li Qingxia, I'm familiar with her. We had a drink together."

Uh... maybe the child's mother is called Zhou Aimin...

Dry!
"Here's the address, wait for me!"

In less than half an hour, Cao Yukun had already appeared at the celebration ceremony for "Swordsman II: The East is Red". In just five days, this movie, which was just released on the 26th, has already broken the million mark at the box office today. Of course, we have to celebrate!

Huang Zhan held Cao Yukun with one hand and held a wine glass with the other hand, "Quiet! Take a look, take a look, and say from the bottom of your heart, is what I, Uncle Zhan, said right? Is he the most handsome guy in the red sky? Leon Lai, John Lone, Andy Lau, who can be more handsome than him?"

"Wow, you're all stunned, right? Let me tell you, Kun Zai is not only handsome, he's also a great businessman! Did you all see the commercial I shot? The sour and sweet plums, that's Kun Zai's business! Wow, it's selling so well recently, I even bought two boxes to put in the company... Here comes the big boss!"

There are so many beauties at the scene...

Fortunately, Cao Yukun's eyes were blessed by a certain audio in his previous life. He had slimmed down his body and face, used PS, and smoothed his skin. The peerless looks that appeared on the phone screen greatly raised the standard of beauty. In this life, he was baptized by Song Yuhua, Song Yuqian, Xie Xiaoyu, Huang Jiaying, Hu Zihong, Wang Tingfang, Zhou Aimin, and Fang Lijing...

But... damn, Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin are so beautiful!
She's even prettier in real life than on the screen!
Joey Wong is so pure!

Ah... I see, Li Qingxia!

Surprisingly, Director Tsui Hark actually looked familiar. It took Cao Yukun a long time to remember, "Fuck, isn't that the guy from The Mermaid?"

But now it’s a younger version!

Jet Li was also very young and quite friendly. After shaking hands and getting to know each other, he took the initiative to say, "I also heard that a type of sour plum juice has been selling very well recently. It has suddenly become popular. I didn't expect that it was sold by people from the inland. Ah Kun, your last name is... Oh, Mr. Cao, I'll just call you Mr. Cao! If you need an endorsement in the future, remember to consider me!"

In the end, he sat next to Li Qingxia.

If there is no opportunity, find one; if there is no accident, take advantage of it. In short, I sat next to her unknowingly. After saying hello, there was no need to deliberately get close to her, because she couldn't help turning her head to look at me almost every few seconds, and then turned around and started laughing.

In real life, she is not that heroic at all, but rather has a mature and virtuous vibe.

Beautiful.

"Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?"

"No, I was thinking, it's rare that no one has any objection to calling out the title of the most handsome guy in the red sky!"

"You have no objection?"

She couldn't help laughing again, but her face suddenly turned red. "You are indeed handsome!"

But soon, she asked again with concern: "Is that sweet and sour plum really your business?"

"Yes."

"You look so young! Own business?"

"Yes."

"Wow, you're amazing! Uncle Chan said you're from the mainland, and you came here on your own to make a living and start a business... and you're still so successful, you're really amazing! When I first came to Hongkong to film, I was almost 30 years old, and I was scared. It was a new environment, I didn't know anyone, and I couldn't speak the language... You're amazing, you're so young, and you came here from the inland on your own, and you're still so successful!"

"you flatter me."

"You're so shy, are you blushing?"

"Haha... maybe a little, mainly because I'm sitting next to you... you're so beautiful."

"Hahaha, you're so cute! How old are you? Are you twenty?"

"Nineteen."

"Wow...oh no, it feels like we are not from the same generation as you. We really are not from the same generation."

"Hello, aunt!"

“Hahahaha… I want a beating!”

"I went to the mainland two years ago. I don't know if you've seen it. I recorded a video there at the time, giving a speech and greeting people. It was a program on your mainland CCTV channel that asked me to talk about something. At that time, I went to the mainland to shoot Red Dust... Wow, it's been two years!"

"You can go again anytime! And... you are welcome to marry to the mainland!"

“Hahaha…you’re so funny!”
