A grand feast for the Chinese entertainment industry

Chapter 49 Can't we do it together?

Ever since the filming of the music video for "Ten Years", Lin Jianlu has been associated with Leung Wing-ki to some extent in the Hong Kong media. Lin Jianlu did not deny the rumors, and Leung Wing-ki not only did not deny them, but also rushed over to Lin Jianlu as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong.

They were very enthusiastic.

She had absolutely no intention of treating the rumors as fake or acting them out.

However, the group of insiders and old friends didn't really care about this kind of association. Even though Ge Fuhong clearly wanted to promote someone like Liang Yongqi, they would only give her a helping hand in terms of career because of Ge Fuhong's reputation. In their daily lives, no one would really care about her.

So, when they first met, Huang Zhan dared to make lewd jokes. If Lin Jianlu hadn't stopped him, Liang Yongqi would have had to drink that time, otherwise it would have been awkward, and she might have even offended a group of people and ended up in a difficult situation. But after Lin Jianlu stopped him once, Huang Zhan understood and basically stopped joking with Liang Yongqi. His jokes were now good-natured, and he never forced her to drink or do anything like that again.

Moreover, not only did he understand, but once word got out, the entire circle basically understood as well.

Such a beautiful and innocent young girl, no matter what she does on set or at what event, the older men in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, even the most lecherous ones, basically stop bothering her.

He is the only man in the entire Chinese-language entertainment industry to hold a diamond album, and he became so popular with his first album. Not only does he show a promising future, but he has also made a lot of hardcore friends in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles in just a few months. If he wants to protect a girl, he still has the dignity to do so.

But Brigitte Lin didn't give her much face on this matter.

She's excellent in other areas, getting along very well with everyone, especially when it comes to drinking. But with Liang Yongqi, she completely ignores Lin Jianlu's attitude and directly confronts him. Not only did she repeatedly disregard Liang Yongqi's existence before, flirting with Lin Jianlu however she wanted, but later, when she gradually discovered that Lin Jianlu was actually taking her along to many occasions, she became even more enthusiastic.

She herself was a woman, with exceptional advantages, and the two of them were always exchanging flirtatious words and drinking from the same cup, their relationship incredibly sweet. Therefore, Lin Jianlu really couldn't do anything to her. Like today, once the opportunity and occasion were right, she sent Lin Jianlu away with a few words, turning it into a one-on-one duel between her and Liang Yongqi. As a result, the young girl was immediately rendered completely powerless to resist, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed, and was forced to obediently drink.

Even though she was no match for a veteran like Brigitte Lin, Leung Wing-ki, in her drunken stupor, still knew to hold on tightly to Lin Chien-lu's waist and never let go.

Ge Fuhong wanted to personally take her home, but she refused to let go. Finally, when she had no other choice, Lin Jianlu simply picked her up around the waist, got into the car together, and accompanied Ge Fuhong to take her home.

Lin Qingxia smiled and gave the middle finger to Lin Jianlu in the car!

In the car, whether she was truly drunk or faking it, Liang Yongqi kept snuggling into Lin Jianlu's arms, hugging his neck, and repeatedly muttering, her breath reeking of alcohol, "Luzi, I like you so much! Let's date, okay? I'm such a good girl, I'll love you more than any of those old women!"

Lin Jianlu was both amused and exasperated, while Ge Fuhong, sitting to the side, shook her head helplessly.

She's too young; she doesn't know what the martial arts world is like.

…………

Lin Jianlu stayed in Hong Kong until the end of July.

In fact, as long as he stays, he will still have plenty of work. In fact, if he is willing to take on jobs, his schedule could be filled with commercial performances, TV program appearances, movie cameos, and so on, just in Hong Kong alone.

Moreover, the moment he softened his stance even slightly, at least ten film scripts, ready to begin filming immediately, would be handed to Ge Fuhong. Hong Kong, with its small population and limited talent pool, and its profit-driven nature, has always championed maximizing every ounce of commercial value from anyone, and highly values ​​the so-called "triple threat" in film, television, and music. With Lin Jianlu's immense popularity and striking good looks, it would be a waste for her not to take on acting roles, in the eyes of the local entertainment industry.

Even if he's just a pretty face, all the directors in Hong Kong would welcome him!
But he declined them all.

I spent an afternoon playing mahjong with Brigitte Lin, Nansun Shi, and Sylvia Chang. It was a three-against-one game, and everyone lost, but I managed to make the three older ladies very happy with just a few thousand yuan, so it was worth it.

Oh, and I also had dinner with Rosamund Kwan.

Actually, he originally looked down on Rosamund Kwan. Although she was extremely beautiful, he never really wanted to get close to her. It wasn't until they met and chatted over tea that his impression of her changed drastically.

That's why there was a second time.

Well, how should I put it? This woman has lived a glamorous and dazzling life for half her life, but after turning thirty, she suddenly felt that nothing was meaningful anymore. This faint sense of weariness about the hustle and bustle of life, which comes from the depths of her eyes and comes from the bottom of her heart, is what makes it so easy for Lin Jianlu to have a conversation with her.

This time, they weren't caught by the Hong Kong media.

On July 28, Lin Jianlu finally flew back to the capital city he had been longing for.

It happened to be the hottest sauna-like day.

"Hey, the big star is back!"

It was summer vacation, and the courtyards of Nanluoguxiang were almost full of children. It was only because it was too hot that most of them were hiding indoors with fans on; otherwise, you would have seen and heard children fighting all over the streets.

The Gao sisters were watching TV at home with the ceiling fan on when they heard the commotion outside. They immediately rushed out of their room, their eyes wide as they looked the unfamiliar yet familiar neighbor up and down.

"Hey Xiao Lu, what about all your rumored girlfriends? You didn't bring any of them back?"

"How can I woo you if I bring you back?"

"Screw you!"

One sentence was enough to shut Gao Wenwen up, her face turning red, but they were still gossiping. After laughing, someone asked, "The magazines say you're dating Brigitte Lin, is that right? Hey, is Brigitte Lin really that beautiful?"

"nice!"

"Who is prettier, her or Rosamund Kwan?"

"They all look good!"

"So, which of those two are you dating?"

"Hey, why with whom? Can't you two go together?"

"Ew... keep bragging!"

"You already know it's a boast, so why are you asking!"

You see, this shows how different public sentiment is. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, whether it's Rene Liu or Leung Wing-ki, who just debuted a year ago, they are all well-known, young, and beautiful. Including Su Huilun, everyone is happy to see their scandals with Lin Chien-lu. The general public loves to watch, is interested, and even pays to see it. But for actresses like Brigitte Lin and Sylvia Chang, they only create some "older woman-younger man" or "cheating" gimmicks for a short time. They are older women, and people have seen their scandals for twenty years, so they are not very interested anymore. But back in mainland China, sigh, Su Huilun, Leung Wing-ki, Rene Liu, Chen Shuhua, no, they don't have the influence. Only Brigitte Lin and Rosamund Kwan are recognized as the most beautiful.

As soon as they heard that Lin Jianlu had a rumored relationship with the two of them, they got really excited!
Even during dinner, Lin's mother was picking and choosing, but her perspective was completely different from that of a gossipy bystander. "Those girls won't do! They're too old, almost as old as me! If you dare bring any of them home, I'll cripple your legs! You're the only child in our family. If you marry someone that old and she can't have children anymore, our family line will end!"

Lin Jianlu sighed helplessly, "Mom, you like reading those little magazines now too?"

"Why would I need to look? With a big star coming out of their own kid's family, what kind of news don't those old women at the stationery factory get? I don't even need to look, they tell me everything!"

At this point, the old mother counted on her fingers as if reciting a familiar story, "Like Liang Yongqi, who acts in movies, or Liu Ruoying, who sings, and then there's Su Huilun, but she's not quite there yet, she's several years older than you! And then there's Lin Qingxia, or Zhang Aijia, or Guan Zhilin, or Chen Shuhua, none of them are acceptable! Absolutely not! Too much older! Oh right, isn't Zhang Aijia already married? That's even more unacceptable! You can't ruin someone else's marriage!"

"Actually... they can still have children!"

"Get lost! Lin Jianlu, listen to me. I can tolerate your banter with me on other things, but if you dare to mess around with finding a daughter-in-law, I won't even have to lift a finger; your grandpa will beat you half to death!"

Alright! They've brought up the old man; this is practically the most serious level of warning they can give!

Lin Jianlu's mouthful of sarcastic remarks instantly died down.
