Exciting 1979!

Chapter 384 The Two Bears Arrive at Port, the Beautiful Daughter-in-Law Finally Meets Her Charming Mother-in-Law

For a horror movie to be truly frightening, visuals, sound effects, dialogue, and atmosphere are all crucial. The fact that Li Zhi was scared even without sound, without understanding the dialogue, and with the living room lights on demonstrates just how terrifying "The Exorcist," the highest-grossing horror film in Hollywood history, truly is.

Wei Ming had also suspected that Li Zhi was acting, but her fair skin was now pale and her full lips were trembling slightly. This was something that her acting skills could not do, and she seemed to be really frightened.

After calming down in Wei Ming's arms, she let go of him and apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher Wei. The curtains moved a little, and the movie was so scary that I couldn't help myself. I didn't mean to disturb you."

Seeing her sincere attitude, Wei Ming sat down on the sofa: "I was just tired from writing and wanted to relax, but it's best not to watch horror movies. They won't make you brave, they'll only increase your fear. You actually took my joke seriously?"

Lizhi suggested, "How about we watch a different movie?"

Wei Lingling has many videotapes here, including many European and American films.

He walked to the section showing European and American videos: "Are there any movies among these that you haven't seen before?"

Lizhi: "I haven't seen many of them because there are no Chinese subtitles, so I can only guess when learning English. I've only seen this one and this one."

So Wei Ming chose "The Island of Youth" from among the works she hadn't seen. It was one of the top ten highest-grossing films in North America last year. The director and the male lead didn't matter; the female lead was Brooke Shields, whom even Zhao Lirong's grandmother knew.

The story is about a young boy and girl who are stranded on a desert island and live there while exploring the mysteries of men and women.

At the beginning of the movie, Brooke Shields was radiant with youthful energy and was indeed beautiful. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old when she filmed this movie, about the same age as Amin is now.

However, since they are Western women, Brooke Shields in the movie, although young, looks ready to be picked, while Amin, although tall enough, still looks immature. Wei Ming couldn't bear to do it, but it was against the law.

Thinking of Amin, Wei Ming glanced at the distance between himself and Lizhi. Hmm, a safe distance.

Lizhi also abandoned her usual strategy of directly pursuing and offering herself to Wei Ming. Wei Ming's indifferent attitude just now made her realize that Wei Ming must be very close to that girl right now, and he can't stand any other woman.

At this point, what she should do is wait and wait for things to go wrong. She doesn't believe that a teenage Hong Kong girl who grew up in a pampered environment can cherish this hard-won, high-quality man forever.

Having figured this out, even though there were some nude and ambiguous scenes in the film, Lizhi didn't take the opportunity to make a scene. Instead, she shyly made an excuse to pour tea for Wei Ming and went into the kitchen. She only came out after the young couple finished their lovemaking.

After watching the movie, Wei Ming's first thought was that Brooke Shields was indeed beautiful, and his second thought was that he really wanted to go to Sanya, with its sunshine, beaches, coconuts, and bikinis!
Hong Kong's beach resources are nowhere near as good as Sanya's. In my previous life, I even owned a house in Sanya, but unfortunately, I hardly ever used it.

It was almost midnight when the movie ended. Wei Ming said goodnight to Li Zhi and they went back to their rooms without even changing the sheets. Oh well, he didn't mind his aunt.

To be honest, girls' beds smell so good. I dream of applying sunscreen to Amin's back on the beach. Lizhi is different; she makes Weiming apply it to her front.

The next day was awkward. After all, he was 20, the age when he was most impulsive. He hadn't sparred with his two older sisters for several days. And the most embarrassing thing was that he didn't have a change of underwear in his bag.

Thankfully, my aunt's blanket wasn't soiled, otherwise she would have been too ashamed to show her face in public.

In the early morning, after Lizhi woke up and made breakfast, she wanted to call Wei Ming to eat together, but found that he had already left and left a note.

"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you're alright, I won't come over tonight. Remember to lock the door when you're alone, don't watch horror movies, and don't open the door to strangers."

Lizhi's eyes welled up with tears. She had been in Hong Kong for so long, and her own father had never given her such tender advice.

Although Wei Ming acted coldly yesterday, as if he didn't want to get close to her, he was actually warm-hearted. Moreover, Li Zhi knew that he wasn't saying those things because she was pretty and had a good figure; he was just a kind person.

She was so lucky to have met such a good man, yet so unlucky not to have met him before any other woman.

~
Wei Ming left his aunt's house with his crotch empty and shifted into gear. He first went back to the hotel to change his underwear, and then went to TVB to hand over the proposals for the Top Ten Golden Songs and the New Talent Singer Competition to Run Run Shaw.

He pointed to the television, which was not turned on, and said, "This morning, TVB's entertainment news had already started reporting the good news that 'Wrong Wedding Night' was doing well at the box office and with the audience."

Although the morning ratings were low, this was just the beginning. Run Run Shaw promised to report on the show every day during its run, and not just in the morning news. Wei Ming expressed his gratitude for this.

"The Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs will be announced in half a month, and the Top Ten Jade Solid Gold Songs will be announced in a month. We should start preparing for the selection and promotion now. There are relevant plans from above," Wei Ming reminded him before leaving.

Run Run Shaw nodded, stood up as a gesture, and Wei Ming told him to stay.

When he left, he ran into his old friend Xu Jinjiang and greeted him.

Standing next to Lao Xu was Liang Jiahui. Both of them had long hair and looked like artists, while Wei Ming thought of Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen.

Xu Jinjiang quickly introduced Liang Jiahui and Wei Ming to each other. Wei Ming was one of the few important people he knew, and he could tell that Wei Ming was there to see Mr. Shao, which would make him look good.

Liang Jiahui also showed due humility towards Wei Ming, and even said that his girlfriend really liked his songs.

“I know,” Wei Ming asked him, “Did Director Li tell you?”

"Huh? What are you talking about? Which Director Li?"

So he didn't know? Wei Ming waved his hand: "It's okay, you'll find out later."

Li Heizi has cast someone as the male lead but hasn't told him yet.

However, Liang Jiahui also realized that he might be talking about Dianxin's father. What could it be? Could it be a forced marriage?
Wei Ming chatted briefly with the two newcomers to the entertainment industry and learned that they had just come from the film set and had only played two minor roles. He couldn't help but envy Andy Lau, who was already playing the second male lead in a movie.

They have plenty of courage, they just lack the opportunity.

~
After leaving TVB, Wei Ming went back to his hotel to write. At noon, he received a call from Aunt Xia Meng.

She asked curiously, "This morning I suddenly saw TVB broadcasting news about 'Seven Days of Wrong Love,' and it was quite long, full of praise. Did you do something?"

Wei Ming joked, "I went to TVB in person yesterday to talk to Uncle Shaw and asked him to give Ms. Xia Meng some face, and that's how it was."

Xia Meng laughed, and then Wei Ming told the truth: "I gave Mr. Shao some feasible suggestions for his business, and this is my way of expressing my gratitude."

"Xiao Wei, you're really something! The mainland is truly full of talented people!" Aunt Xia Meng praised him highly. Then she told Wei Ming, "Monday's box office exceeded 800,000, basically on par with Friday's. It seems that a box office of 10 million is not impossible!"

This will be the fourth film in Hong Kong history to gross over 10 million! Bluebird and Golden Harvest each have two spots. In the past, Xia Meng would never have dared to dream of becoming a film mogul?
Wei Ming laughed and said, "Maybe you'll have tens of millions by the time you come back from Hainan. Don't forget to have a celebration banquet then."

Xia Meng said, "I'll throw you a celebration banquet as soon as we get back from Hainan, and there will be red envelopes too!"

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ming called Ocean Park again to inquire about news about pandas from the mainland.

After Wei Ming introduced himself, the other party told him: "The mainland has replied that he is expected to depart for Hong Kong on Saturday the 19th, and after a few days of rest, he will meet with the people of Hong Kong on Christmas Day."

Today is Tuesday, four more days!
After receiving the news, Wei Ming quickly saw it on TVB, RTV, and other major newspapers in Hong Kong. He could even hear the hotel receptionist talking about it. One can only imagine how lively Ocean Park will be on the day the pandas open to the public.

These past few days, Wei Ming has been keeping a low profile, either writing in the hotel or spending time with Amin. Occasionally, he'll call Lizhi to chat and check on her mental health.

On Friday afternoon, Wei Ming brought the results of the past few days to Kuangren Comics.

The last issue of the magazine in 81 sold 13 copies in Hong Kong, which wasn't a big problem. So, for the first issue of 82, Ah Long planned to sell 15 copies directly, and then slow down the pace, aiming to reach 82 copies in 20.

In fact, considering Hong Kong's population structure and economic level, 15 is already a very high number, and "Madman Comics" has united almost all comic book enthusiasts.

Although there are still some fans of erotic and violent comics who haven't been catered to, catering to them would definitely mean losing other readers and being reported by competitors, which would be a losing proposition.

Ah Long said, "The feedback from overseas is also good. President Gong plans to order 50,000 copies for the first issue of the new year."

These 50,000 copies represent the combined total of the Chinese community in the United States and Taiwan, and are also a significant source of profit for Madman Comics.

Wei Mingdao: "If we do weekly comics in the future, we can actually attract Taiwanese cartoonists, some of whom are very talented."

Ah Long: "I've been thinking about this ever since you mentioned training new talent, and I even wanted to have the opportunity to go to Taiwan to meet with my colleagues."

"That's a bit risky, isn't it? It wouldn't be good if we got arrested as spies," Wei Ming joked.

However, there are indeed some experts among our Taiwanese counterparts. At this moment, Ao Youxiang's Oolong Courtyard comic has been created, and it is an excellent work even in the entire Chinese comic industry.

After chatting with Ah Long for a few minutes, Wei Ming then invited Huang Guoxing in and handed him the results of his creative work over the past few days.

“This is an ensemble story,” Wei Ming said, “about the story of five good friends who met in prison and what happens after they are released.”

“Ah, ‘The Released Dragon’? This kind of subject matter should be drawn by Niu Lao.” Huang Guoxing felt that this was not something he was good at as soon as he heard the outline.

Wei Ming laughed and said, "These five people went to jail not because of any major crimes, but because apart from this fat guy named Partridge Vegetable who is somewhat normal, the others are not very smart. They are either stupid or dull, and there is also a womanizer. After they were released from prison, all five of them wanted to turn over a new leaf and start a new life, and then a series of hilarious stories happened."

The story is called "Lucky Stars," that's the name, but you can fill it with scenes from movies like "Lucky Stars," "Lucky Stars," "Summer Lucky Stars," and "The Best Lucky Stars."

If the five characters are portrayed vividly and interestingly enough, more stories can be developed, not just limited to the Lucky Stars film series led by Hung Chun-po.

Furthermore, since they are all urban comedy comics, they can also interact with "Fight Back to School" and "Happy Ghost".

After listening to Wei Ming describe the personality traits of the five characters, Huang Guoxing immediately picked up a pen and began drawing their portraits with great enthusiasm.

Wei Ming nodded: "I hope you can bring them to life in your writing. This series consists of one story at a time. I'm currently writing the first story, 'Ingenious Scheme,' which should keep you busy for a while. However, you and the screenwriter will need to fill in the details. Ultimately, I'm not as good as you locals at Hong Kong-style comedy."

Huang Guoxing quickly said, "Teacher Wei, you're too modest. 'Seven Days of Wrongly Wrongly Wrote' is hilarious. I've read it twice."

Ah Long asked, "You watched it twice in such a short time, do you have two girlfriends?"

Huang Guoxing: "No, I watched it once with Niu Lao and once with Gan Xiaowen. Neither of them had girlfriends."

Wei Ming felt sorry for him; there were very few people in the company with partners, and it was fortunate that he had helped raise the average.

Stepping out of the madman's comic strip, Wei Ming gazed northward. Tomorrow, tomorrow Little Wei, Old Wei, and Great Old Wei will be reunited as three generations.

~
Old Wei and Xu Shufen had already packed their luggage, and when Wei Hong asked when they could see them, they couldn't say for sure.

In principle, they can only return after the local keepers in Hong Kong are fully able to take care of the pandas and handle any major or minor illnesses.

Upon hearing this, Wei Hong immediately realized that Gangdan wouldn't be back for a year or two, so how could he possibly recognize someone else?

Seeing her daughter's reluctant eyes, Xu Shufen hugged her and said, "Your brother will be back in a few days. He definitely won't leave you alone for too long. Mom will sleep with you tonight."

Her daughter is 15 years old, and they'll be separated for so long soon. Xu Shufen needs to give some explanations.

The next day, Wei Hong saw her parents off at their doorstep, and the zoo's vehicle came to pick them up. With her parents gone, Wei Hong planned to stay at the school permanently. She put on her cotton gloves and was about to ride away on her bicycle when the postman arrived.

"Is that Wei Hong, Teacher Wei Ming's sister?"

"it's me."

"You have a letter. It's from America. Please sign for it."

The sadness on Xiaohong's face vanished instantly: "Okay, okay!"

~
At the airport, the six-person panda care team has been assembled, making a total of eight people. Two others went to Hong Kong during the construction of the panda enclosure.

Besides Xu Shufen, there was only one other female zookeeper from Sichuan named Cuicui, who was in her thirties. This was also her first time on an airplane, and she was extremely excited.

"Sis, once we get to Hong Kong, will it be just the two of us staying together?"

Xu Shufen: "That won't do, I have to live with my man."

Cui Cui became even more excited: "Then can I live with a male comrade? That's fine too. I'm widowed, so we can arrange our marriages together."

Xu Shufen: "..."

Old Wei listened secretly from the side, thinking to himself that this was the right way to treat a woman from Sichuan and Chongqing. My Shufen is a rare breed.

Xu Shufen then asked Cuicui if she had any children.

“I have one, and my husband is supporting her. I go out to earn money for her so she can go to university in the future. Sister, has your child gone to university?”

Xu Shufen: "I got in, Peking University."

Old Wei was filled with regret, thinking, "I should have been the one to say that!"

Cui Cui: "..."

Now it was Cui Cui's turn to fall silent. After a while, she asked, "Just one child?"

"Two, the younger one got into Peking University."

"Oh, it's alright. It's good enough if even one of the two children is successful. Nothing is ever perfect."

Just as Lao Wei was about to speak, someone came over.

The team that went to Hong Kong this time included not only zookeepers but also staff members from the Hong Kong Office, a division-level officer who was in charge of leading the team.

The team leader had just arrived when he asked, "Which of you are Mr. Wei Ming's parents?"

Old Wei and Xu Shufen immediately raised their hands, and the comrades from the Hong Kong office immediately said, "Uncle Wei, Auntie, thank you for your hard work on this trip. Teacher Wei and his whole family are wonderful!"

"Oh, it's no trouble at all, it's all what we should do," Old Wei said smoothly, offering polite words.

Confused, Cuicui asked another colleague from Beijing Institute of Technology, "Who is Teacher Wei?"

The colleague said, "Teacher Wei, I heard that he earned more than a million foreign exchange recently, all by himself. I think he should be considered a national treasure."

~
Teacher Wei, a national treasure, arrived at Lao Gui's new home early in the morning.

Today is a wonderful day for three generations of a family to reunite, but Lao Gui says he won't be going to the airport.

"Let's finish the important matters of the country first, then we can talk about our family's little affairs," he said.

Wei Ming: "So, should I just bring them here?"

Old Gui thought for a moment and said, "After you're done, bring your mother over first, then come find me at Taiping Mountain. I'll be waiting for you at the top, and the three of us can talk."

Wei Ming nodded, indicating his understanding.

After going downstairs, Wei Ming saw Zhou Huimin again. It was Saturday, and she had been waiting for him by the car.

Amin smiled and said, "To pick up your uncle and aunt, I prepared this for you."

She pulled out a large bouquet of flowers from behind her back, all different colors and styles.

"Amin, you're so thoughtful!" Wei Ming hadn't thought of that.

Amin asked, "Can I go with you to pick up your uncle and aunt?"

"And then you personally deliver the bouquets to them?"

Amin tilted her head and asked in a deliberately cute tone, "Is it okay? Is it okay?"

They've already gone to such lengths to act cute, what else can they do? Besides, they live in the same building, they're bound to get to know each other sooner or later.

"Get in the car."

"Great!"

At the Zhou family home, Zhou's mother looked out the window while Lin Ni, cracking sunflower seeds, said, "Ah Fen, I'm about to meet my son and daughter-in-law, and I'm a little nervous. What should I do?"

Zhou's mother glanced at her, who was completely relaxed, and finally blurted out, "What are you so nervous about!"

Linni's leg trembled: "I'm loose on the outside but tight on the inside, you wouldn't understand~"

~
At Kai Tak Airport, Wei Ming was accompanied by Zhou Huimin, Ocean Park representatives including Brother Niu, and colleagues from Xinhua News Agency.

So Amin, holding a bouquet of flowers, stood out quite a bit in the middle of the group. Everyone looked at her and then at Wei Ming, their eyes filled with ambiguity.

Amin could handle it all; compared to meeting Wei Ming's parents, those looks were nothing.

Finally, the plane that flew directly from Yanjing to Hong Kong arrived. This was a special flight added temporarily for the two giant pandas, so there weren't many people getting off the plane.

Wei Ming spotted his stylish and brightly dressed mother at a glance and waved to her, but his father was not there.

What Xu Shufen saw at first glance was a single red flower amidst a sea of ​​green, resembling a beautiful girl holding flowers and standing with her son.

Xu Shufen wondered if her mother-in-law was young, could it be this?

This isn't just young, this is a prodigy!
But as she got closer, she realized that it looked like a little girl.

Xu Shufen and her son exchanged a glance, and then she remembered—his pen pal from Hong Kong!
Wow, she's so beautiful! Her hair is curly, her skin is incredibly fair, and her legs are long, slender, and perfectly proportioned.

Amin had already seen the photos of her uncle and aunt, and on impulse, she almost rushed out to present flowers to Xu Shufen. Fortunately, Wei Ming stopped her, saying that now was not the time, as the leader had not yet spoken.

The Xinhua News Agency leaders first welcomed the group on behalf of Hong Kong. As for the younger members, Lao Wei and the others went to unload the pandas. After flying for so long, Lao Wei was worried that the two little guys would get angry.

After the leader finished speaking, the Hong Kong office comrade from the mainland shook hands with Wei Ming and said things like "I've heard so much about you," while Amin took the opportunity to walk up to Xu Shufen.

Cui Cui whispered to Xu Shufen, "I understand. It's just that there aren't enough students to present flowers, so it's not very impressive."

Just as she was about to take the bouquet from Zhou Huimin, Amin walked around her and stuffed the bouquet into Xu Shufen's arms.

"Auntie, I am Ah Min. Welcome to Hong Kong."

~
Old Wei went to the Ocean Park with the truck, and Wei Ming didn't see him until they arrived.

Although the giant pandas will not be officially welcoming visitors today, the news has already spread, and everyone knows that the giant pandas will be moving into Ocean Park today. As a result, there are many more visitors to Ocean Park than usual on weekends, making it difficult for cars to move around.

Upon arriving at the panda enclosure, Wei Ming first saw Governor Murray MacLehose and his wife, Deng Liping. The two men clearly valued the two pandas highly, personally welcoming Gangdan and Bass.

Upon meeting Wei Ming, MacLehose shook hands with him: "Although the arrival of the two giant pandas in Hong Kong is mainly due to your efforts, it can also be considered my final achievement in Hong Kong."

Wei Ming was taken aback: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I've been in this position for too long, and Hong Kong needs a new governor who is young and energetic," Murray MacLehose said, estimating the news would be announced in the next few days.

Wei Ming knew that the new governor was named You De, and during his tenure he was mainly responsible for Sino-British negotiations. He was indeed younger than MacLehose, and because he had no affection for Hong Kong, he did some things that were more beneficial to Britain. However, he eventually died of a sudden illness in Beijing, which caused quite a stir in the domestic news at the time.

Wei Ming said sincerely, "The people of Hong Kong are about to lose their most beloved governor."

MacLehose smiled and said, "Thank you for your feedback."

As they were talking, a small truck drove into Ocean Park, and the truck bed was painted with panda patterns.

This was a mistake, as the vehicle couldn't completely avoid the tourists, and it was quickly surrounded by tourists curious about the pandas.

Inside the carriage, Lao Wei clearly felt that the train was barely moving.

"What's going on? Have we arrived yet?"

My colleague in the front passenger seat said, "Brother Wei, not yet, the tourists have stopped us."

Old Wei patted the steel egg: "Hehe, see? They've all come to see you."

Then he said to the person in front, "Let's open it up and let everyone see, Steel Egg has been itching to go!"
