Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

The life experience of Yin Baozhu, the leading actor in "<Yin Mistake>" is a mystery: Are you Chinese?Japanese? "

"Weird! <Yin Mistakes>Three male movie fans all died in an accident, holding the photos of female stars tightly when they were dying

"The screenwriter of <Yin Mistakes> was accused of plagiarism. The original author had published a novel five years ago, saying that he had not given authorization"

"Come on, come on! The new film has not been released for more than half a month, and the crew of "By Odds" has been scandalized frequently, and it has been boycotted by all theaters in Shanghai, and it will be canceled from today. Come and read the newspaper!"

On the road, newsboys walking around the streets waved the newspapers in their hands and shouted to sell them.

"Hey, didn't you say that you're going to take your girlfriend to watch this movie on weekends? How about watching it now that it's down?"

A young man bought a newspaper, opened it, and elbowed a colleague standing beside him.

"Cen, my girlfriend called at noon and said that if I dare to buy tickets for this movie, I will be kicked off. Now the next file is the best, and I can save money to refund the tickets."

The young man beside him cursed, "At first I wanted to see that Yin Baozhu, but several newspapers said that she sings better than Zou Xuan'er, and looks more foreign than the veteran star Phalaenopsis. It turned out to be Japanese, bad luck !"

"Hey, it's a 'suspected' Japanese, and there is no iron nail to cut it?"

His colleague turned back again, pointed at the various newspapers on the newsstand and said with a smile, "Look, except for the big newspapers such as Shenbao and Ta Kung Pao, almost all the small newspapers have published "Yin Mi Yang Cuo" The gossip. The angry New Era Film Company has issued several statements in succession, saying that it will sue the newspapers that published these false reports to court."

"He's going to sue, as the saying goes, 'There are no waves without wind'. People in the Northeast have indeed proved that the real 'Yin Baozhu' has been dead for four or five years. The parents of this so-called 'Yin Baozhu' don't even know each other. Her. The reporter ran to the cemetery and took pictures of the tombstone of 'Yin Baozhu'."

He picked up a newspaper and clicked on the photo of "Yin Baozhu's Tomb" on it, "I've seen a ghost. Dead people can still make movies and sing in dance halls every day. I'm afraid it's not about shooting "Liao Zhai"."

"It's "Liao Zhai". Otherwise, the movie played well, why would three fans die?"

Rolling up the newspaper and tucking it under the armpits, the two of them walked to the company after lunch.

"It's very funny. All three of them were thrown to the river after being beaten to death. I don't know what kind of enemies they recruited."

"In the final analysis, the production team is too evil. Look at the news, they even plagiarized the script. Bad luck! Let's go, go to work. Don't talk about it, don't talk about it."

The two walked past a huge cigarette advertisement, which was being painted away by workers.

A rolling stick dipped in white paint painted on the face of "Yin Baozhu" who was full of smiles and holding a large bouquet of roses, completely obliterating this picture of beauty that had been painted for less than a month.

"These are 'unfounded' charges! It's a complete rumor."

In New Era Pictures Co., Ltd., faced with the questioning from the major shareholder Tsubaki Sakurako, the president Takamasa Yoshida nervously explained while wiping his cold sweat with a handkerchief.

"Founding rumors? Do you know how much Dachun Trading Co., Ltd. invested in the early and late stages of this movie? The movie was released within half a month after it was released, and all the advertisers who signed it asked to stop cooperating. The money I invested It's like throwing everything into the water. If you say 'spreading rumours', who will I ask for my loss?"

Tsubaki Sakura almost pointed at the president's nose and scolded.

The filming of this film and the construction of the new Sakura Department Store were carried out almost at the same time, and the capital chain of Otsubaki Trading Co., Ltd. in China was under great pressure.

I thought that after the movie was released, the funds could be recovered, and then rely on the two female stars to sign various endorsement contracts to pay back.Who knew that the movie was forced to be canceled right after it was released, and it was clear that it would lose everything.

"Miss Chun Yingzi, the manager of Ye Shanghai Song and Dance Hall called and said that because of complaints from customers, we will suspend cooperation with us from today. At the mountain pass...until Yin Baozhu's identity is found out, they will not be allowed to Two people came on stage."

Just then, an assistant came in and reported the bad news to Tsubaki Yingko.

"Every night in Shanghai is worse... First arrange the two of them to sing in our own dance hall. Then contact the record company and postpone the recording time."

"Hi Yi!"

"Didn't I tell you to catch those two unscrupulous reporters who were staring at Yin Baozhu? Why haven't you caught them until now? Not only have the reporters not been caught, but the newspaper office can't find them anywhere?"

Toon Yingzi was so angry that she wanted to eat people.

The identity of Ryoko Yamaguchi has been kept strictly confidential.This little girl who is good at singing and dancing was specially selected by them in Japan, and it took two or three years to teach her Chinese, Northeast dialect, Chinese opera and western pop music singing before being brought to China.

Originally, I wanted to promote her as the hottest film and dance star in China, as a model of goodwill towards China.Who knows how long it took, but someone saw the flaw...

The point is that they couldn't figure it out, how did these two reporters discover this secret - they even went to the graves in the northeast countryside to take pictures, would normal people do this?

"These two reporters... It is said that Shanghai Tang does not know how many celebrities want to catch them, but they have never succeeded. Before they reported the celebrity He Lili's out-of-wedlock childbirth incident, and the celebrity Weng Shaodong's fetishism. They offended many social celebrities. Moreover, their "World Star" is issued irregularly, and the office address is always changing, it may be an underground printing house..."

The assistant lowered his head again and again, and almost found a crack to get in.

"Could it be... the trick of Luo Xiazhi from Shimai Department Store? Their new movie will be filmed this month. Could it be that they colluded with reporters and deliberately wrote these articles?"

Tsubaki Yingko frowned and turned to ask.

"Wrong Yin and Yang" was delisted, and the combination of Jin Cancan and Yin Baozhu was boycotted. No matter how you look at it, only Luoshi Entertainment can reap the benefits.

"This... We have been preparing for many years about Yin Baozhu's plan, and it is a top-secret plan. Luo Xiazhi is a businessman, and it is absolutely impossible to know in advance."

Yoshida Ryuchang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Let's not talk about her. What happened to the three fans who died? There are so many people who die in Shanghai every day, why should it be counted as the movie "By Odds"?"

Tsubaki Yingko pointed at the newspaper, she didn't even know the identities of these three people.

"This...it's because after they were fished out, they were found to have signed photos of Yin Baozhu and Jin Cancan in their hands and pockets, so they were judged to be fans of "By Odds"..."

Yoshida Takamashi kept wiping his sweat, "And..."

"And what?"

"They are actually not ordinary movie fans... They are all working in the Academy of Sciences, and they are Japanese."

"Shanghai Academy of Sciences? Does this matter have something to do with Nogi Hiroshi? It's ridiculous."

Tsubaki Yingko kept shaking her head and sat down on the sofa dejectedly.

"It's so inexplicable. This... one after another, it's clearly aimed at dealing with our company, but we don't even know who the opponent is."

"That... there is one thing for sure."

Yoshida licked his lips, "The script of "By Odds" is really plagiarized. We found the magazine that published this novel five years ago. The real author is Guo Caizi's ex-girlfriend. Guo Caizi and this lady It's been a long time since we broke up. This lady didn't know that her novel was written by Guo Caizi until she saw the movie... She has already sued Guo Caizi, and we have also received a letter from the lawyer..."

"Find a lawyer and sue this Guo fraudster."

Tsubaki Yingko put her hand on her forehead and said wearily, "This film is doomed to lose everything. Now I'm trying to figure out how to reduce the loss...Does Mr. Nogi have any instructions?"

"Hmm...Mr. Nogi, he..."

Yoshida hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"He recently became obsessed with a Chinese actor, and he is not very interested in our movies."

"actor?"

Tsubaki Sakura's face was filled with disbelief.

----------------

At the door of the Seventh Heaven International Hotel, a little boy carrying a shoe-shielding box was holding a movie ticket, staring at this magnificent building with wide-eyed eyes.

He knew that the second floor of this building was the most luxurious movie theater in Shanghai.

It's seven o'clock in the morning, and there's still an hour before the movie starts.

This movie ticket was given by a pretty little brother the day before yesterday.

The man was dressed in "green mountains and green waters" and walked to the small house where they lived next to the vegetable market with a dozen movie tickets.

All the homeless orphans living in this small house have escaped from their hometown one after another in recent years.There are also some locals who lost their parents due to various reasons and drifted here.

No matter how they came here, now they all have a common identity - Zhuang Laosan's apprentice.

Zhuang Laosan is the boss of this vegetable farm and several nearby roads. He is over 70 years old and has a wrinkled face. In Shanghai dialect, it means "the old ones are not crispy".

It is said that when he was young, he was the sworn brother of the once powerful boss Liang in Shanghai, and he had a very good time.

But now he is the boss of the shoe-shining "shoe upper", and he still calls himself the boss.

"After Boss Liang left...Master Liang said that he would take me to Suzhou, and that he would support me and give me retirement. Master Liang, do you know how to kill the big one who runs a textile factory and a garment factory in Suzhou now? The rich... the super rich."

Usually after drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhuang Laosan will start bragging about "the courage of the past".

"I don't want to. I, the third son of Zhuang, came to Shanghai from the countryside. I just got off the boat and saw the statue of a foreign girl with wings by the Huangpu River. I swore: I will be the If I die, I will die in Shanghai, I absolutely don't want to leave here. Therefore, I won't leave even if I die..."

At first, these little apprentices also listened with gusto.But after listening too much, I realized that he just repeated a few words, and he was not as serious as he was when he was a child. He dealt with it twice with "ummm" and "ummm", and went to do their own things.

But there were only two of them, no matter how many times Zhuang Laosan's "drunk talk" was repeated, they would listen to it tirelessly.

Of these two people, one is his Simao, and the other...is brother Sanmao who has been dead for a month.

Si Mao was not called "Si Mao" when he was young, just like "San Mao" was not called "San Mao" before he was adopted by Zhuang Laosan.After they were adopted, Zhuang Laosan put them down one "hair" after another "hair" according to their age, regardless of gender.

In the year he was adopted by Zhuang Laosan, Da Mao was already dead. It is said that he was beaten to death by the red-headed assan after he was caught by the police station for stealing.

Brother Ermao also left them that year. He said that shoeshine would be like this for the rest of his life, and there was no hope.He went off to look for work on the docks to "make himself a man."

So among their group of children, the biggest one is Brother Sanmao.

Zhuang Laosan also liked Brother Sanmao very much, and said that after he died, he would hand over the mantle of the "leather shoe upper" to him. Brother Sanmao was also very filial to his master, and would buy wine and pig's head meat for him when he made money.

Brother Sanmao is the oldest child among them, he is already 16 years old.He is the best at shining shoes.

Little wretches like them only get one penny for a shoe shine, and sometimes they can’t earn a penny, and they even pay for the shoe polish.

Only Brother Sanmao looks energetic, can talk, and is good at shining shoes.If the same shoe polish and brush get into his hands, it can polish the guest's leather shoes bright and shiny.Not only do I earn a lot, but sometimes I make the guests happy, and I can also get tips.

Last year, on his 72nd birthday, Zhuang Laosan suddenly announced that he was going to retire, and then he really handed over the leather uppers to Brother Sanmao.

He said, "73, 84, if Hades doesn't come, he will go."He is about to be 73, so let's explain the funeral in advance.Then Brother Sanmao was "promoted" to be the leader of the "leather shoe gang" and became the leader of their gang of little bastards.

His Si Mao became the deputy gang leader of "Leather Shoes Upper" as a matter of course.

It was only after that day that he found out that this seemingly mediocre old man who exploited their shoeshine money every day to buy himself wine actually had a huge intelligence system in his hands.

Shanghai Beach is for the rich, but it is also for the poor.

From the Concession to the Huajie, from Shili Yangchang to the suburban graves.From the Tongtian Avenue on the Bund to the small streets as thin as cow hair in the old city, Zhuang Laosan's eyeliner is everywhere.

Shoeshine sellers, breakfast sellers, white orchid sellers, cigarette sellers, countless inconspicuous little people in this city have formed a huge information network, and standing on the shore holding the mouth of the network cable is Zhuang. third child.

He handed over this intelligence network to Sanmao.

Si Mao lowered his head, and awkwardly wiped a stain on the corner of his clothes with his hands.It was a piece of shoe polish that I didn't know when it was rubbed on.

Si Mao felt a little regretful, he should have worn better... at least cleaner clothes to watch the movie.

Every time Brother Sanmao goes to the movies, he wears his best white shirt and overalls.Everyone laughed at him, obviously he went to the movies alone, dressed as if he was going to "talk about friends".

Then Brother Sanmao will say at this time: I am going to see the most beautiful Miss Zou and Miss Yu in the world, of course I have to dress up neatly.

At this time, Liu Mao, who sells cigarettes, will jump out and ask him, is it Miss Zou or Miss Yu who is more beautiful.Sanmao would beat people in anger.

He really likes Ms. Zou and Ms. Yu so much. He has watched "New Butterfly Lovers" seven or eight times, and not only knows the lines by heart, but also knows how to sing the songs and Huangmei tunes in it.If the movie hadn't been released, he might have to watch it a few more times.

In the few months after the release of the "New Butterfly Lovers" movie, Brother Sanmao was unhappy, and even they felt unhappy.

Later, I heard that Sanye Luo had set up an entertainment company, and that Ms. Zou and Ms. Yu were going to cooperate again. Only then did Brother Sanmao regain his vitality, and every day at dawn, he went out with his shoe shine box on his back to get a job—going to the movies was too expensive!He wants to save enough money before the movie is released, and this time his goal is to watch it at least ten times!

One night last month, Brother Sanmao came back very late.He knew that brother Sanmao should be selling information.

When Brother Sanmao came back, his expression was as if he had won the first-class pigeon ticket.Afraid of waking everyone up, he could only cover his mouth and bury his head in the quilt and laugh, making the bed tremble.

After laughing for a long time, he complained of a stomachache, saying that his intestines were about to roll up, and asked him to rub them for him.

He got up sleepily and walked to Brother Sanmao's bedside.Then Brother Sanmao took out a photo from the quilt as if by magic.

"Look! What do you think this is?"

Brother Sanmao was terrified.

He took a closer look, and it turned out to be photos of two big stars, Zou Xuan'er and Yu Meihui.There is also writing on the photo.But he couldn't read, so he didn't know what was written on it.

"This is signed by Ms. Zou and Ms. Yu! Autographed!"

Sanmao pointed to the words on it.

Huh?Isn't Brother Sanmao selling information?Is this revenge so special?

"I'm so happy, haha! This is the most important thing in my life, even if I die, I will take this photo with me!"

After Sanmao finished speaking, he carefully put the photo in his breast pocket, took several shots, and then fell asleep.

Later... Later Sanmao brother really died.

The death was so miserable and so inexplicable.On the day of the funeral for Brother Sanmao, he still put the photo on Brother Sanmao's chest, and then watched the thin, almost transparent coffin being buried in the soil.

"This is Jianghu... Xiaoche is always unlucky..."

That day, Zhuang Laosan, who was already very old, turned out to be even older, said while drinking.

"Brother Si Mao, you're here."

"Brother Si Mao, it's so early."

The crisp voices of the children pulled Si Mao out of his thoughts.

"The red-headed Ah San will go to work later, and it will be troublesome if I have to come from the Chinese world. So I came here early."

"We thought so too."

One after another, several children came to the door of the hotel.They raised their heads curiously and awkwardly, looking at the magnificent building.

"Brother Si Mao, do you think this movie ticket is real? Will they really let us in to watch a movie later?"

A little girl carrying a cigarette box walked up to Simao. She is Liumao who sells cigarettes, "I heard from my sister who sells cigarettes in the concession that the doorman at the Seventh Heaven Hotel is very powerful... what's a disheveled person?" They all refused to enter. What if they don’t let us in for a while?”

"No way... To watch this movie, I set off at six in the morning and walked for more than an hour to the main road."

"That's right, if we don't let us in, we won't be able to earn back today's rations."

The children gathered more and more, and the time gradually came before the opening of the movie.

"I... I'll try it first."

Si Mao licked his lips, held the movie ticket, and took a step cautiously.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, I laughed so hard."

In the movie theater, more than a dozen children were so amused by the plot that they were rocking with laughter.

"Zou Xuan'er really thought that Yu Meihui was a man and wanted to marry her, hahaha..."

What they were watching was the new movie "The New Son-in-Law" produced by Roche Entertainment.

In this hall, there was a vigorous and lively premiere just last night.It was this group of "little bums" who were currently sitting in the VIP seats. Yesterday, they were all celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai, big stars, and big reporters.

"New Son-in-Law" continues the performance of "New Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", moving the story that happened in ancient times to modern times.

Feng Suzhen played by Yu Meihui and Li Zhaoting played by Zhou Dan are classmates of Peking University and a pair of lovers. They agreed to get married immediately after graduation.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhaoting went back to Shanghai to visit relatives after graduation, and after raising the wedding expenses by the way, he completely disappeared and never contacted Feng Suzhen again.

Feng Suzhen came to Shanghai Beach alone in desperation.She found out that the last place where Li Zhaoting appeared was the "Night Paris Gentleman's Club", which was a men's club that only entertained senior managers, compradors and taipans, and women and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

When Feng Suzhen was desperate, she saw the advertisement that "Shimaite Trading Company" was recruiting senior managers.So she disguised herself as a man, and with her fluent English and knowledge, successfully applied for the position of manager.

And not long after entering the company, she rescued Boss Li's precious daughter, Princess Li, who was kidnapped by gangsters in a coincidence.Then because she was too "handsome" and fell in love at first sight, Princess Li insisted on pestering her father to marry Feng Suzhen... Yes, the name of the boss's daughter is so domineering.

This Princess Li looks unruly and willful, but she is actually a progressive young woman who dares to love and hate, and is full of new ideas.Knowing that she was cheated on the wedding night, Princess Li wanted to directly expose Feng Suzhen's identity, but was finally moved by the love between Feng and Li and decided to help her find her fiancé.

Finally, Feng Suzhen entered the "Night Paris Gentleman's Club" as the son-in-law of the Li family, but found out that Li Zhaoting had made friends with a wealthy Japanese businessman here a few months ago and then left.

The rich Japanese businessman has a foreign room, and now he has a big belly.But the rich businessman is married, and he dare not let his wife know that he has a lover outside, for fear that the tigress will hurt his little lover.

But at the same time he wanted to keep his children.This requires someone to "take over", marry that concubine, and become a nominal "cheap dad".

The wealthy businessman paid a high price of [-] yuan for two years to recruit this "receiver man" in the name of recruiting staff.Let this person marry the outer room, and work by his side by the way, so that he can visit the children conveniently.

Two years later, when the child is older, this "cheap dad" will be able to divorce his wife and walk with money.

So, Li Zhaoting, who couldn't find a job after graduation, and his family couldn't afford to marry him, acted as a "receiver man" against his conscience.At first, he really wanted to take the money and walk away in two years, and go back to marry Feng Suzhen.Who knew that during the day and night with the Japanese mistress, he was actually fascinated by this Japanese woman and this luxurious life, and gradually he was unwilling to let go.

In the climax of the movie, in the Japanese villa, Feng Suzhen looked at her former lover who was a complete stranger, gave him a big slap in the face, and then took Princess Li's hand and resolutely left.No matter how hard Li Zhaoting begged, it was of no avail.

In the end, Feng Suzhen was regarded by Master Li as his adopted daughter, and she and Princess Li went abroad to study together, determined to return to serve the country together after completing their studies.

In the last scene of the movie, Feng Suzhen and Princess Li walked hand in hand on the Champs-Elysees Avenue, looking at the world-famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, and showed sweet smiles together.

As for the heartless man Li Zhaoting.After his wife found out about the behavior of the wealthy Japanese businessman, he and his concubine were kicked out, and the promised [-] yuan naturally disappeared.

Li Zhaoting was impoverished and lived a life like a wretch.

Although this film does not have the magical special effects at the end of "New Butterfly Lovers", it is better in that the plot is interesting and ups and downs. After being polished in the previous film, Yu Zou's combination is better, and their acting skills are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In addition, the last one in Songjiang is slightly shorter and narrower, but basically the Eiffel Tower is restored to the gods, which is really liked by Shanghainese who are obsessed with French culture, so it also received rave reviews once it was released.

Produced by Roche, it must be a high-quality product.

This movie has become a blockbuster blockbuster, and it is already a certainty.

"Brother Simao, it would be great if Ms. Yu was really a man. She and Ms. Zou can get married."

While nibbling on the chocolate, Liumao said innocently.

"Don't be silly, it won't be "The New Son-in-Law", and the movie won't be able to be made."

Si Mao said with a smile.

"This movie is really good, and the chocolate is so delicious... Hey, it would be great if Brother Sanmao could see it with his own eyes. He must never have imagined that there are kind people giving us movie tickets for free."

After the movie screening ended, the lights came on, and the children looked at the dazzlingly bright projection hall as if they had just stepped out of a dream.

"Yeah, the next time I come to such a good place to watch a movie, I don't know when it will be..."

The children, with their backs on their backs, turned their heads frequently, looking at the big screen where the subtitles were still playing.

The dream is over, and they have to run around for today's livelihood again.

Si Mao stood blankly until the big "Wan" appeared on the screen, and the worker walked in with a broom, ready to start sweeping the floor. Then he picked up the shoe shine box and left the auditorium step by step. , leaving the Seventh Heaven Hotel, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

He thought, he finally understood why Brother Sanmao liked watching movies so much, Miss Yu and Miss Zou so much.

They are angels who bring people beautiful fantasies, adding a touch of sweetness to the bitter life.

"Brother Sanmao, I'll take you to the movies next time."

He patted the shoe shine box.

That used to belong to Brother Sanmao's shoe shine box, and it was the proof of the identity of the leader of the "Leather Shoes Gang".

Zhuang Laosan passed it on to Sanmao, and when Sanmao died, he gave it to him.

He didn't know that the first movie of the day at the Seventh Heaven Cinema usually starts at 09:30.Today's "extra show" at eight o'clock is specially added for them.

"Are the children happy?"

Half an hour ago, in the office on the sixth floor of Shimai Department Store, Luo Xiazhi stood by the window and asked, looking at the Seventh Heaven International Hotel building two roads away.

"Yes, the children are very happy. It will be tea break in a while, and the cinema has prepared 'Ruby' cream strawberry cake and pearl milk tea for them. After the movie screening is over, each of them will be given a piece of chocolate."

Li Ye stood behind him and reported.

A few days ago, under Luo Xiazhi's order, he went to the vegetable market where the "leather shoe upper" was located, and gave away a dozen movie tickets.

Although Sanmao is gone, I hope other children can replace him and see his favorite new play of Ms. Zou and Ms. Yu.

"Master Luo, is there really no need to report this?"

Shu Wenhua pouted, a little dissatisfied, "Inviting orphans to watch movies for free, what a great theme. If it's hype, it will definitely be published in many newspapers and magazines. If it doesn't work, let my cousin write an article and publish it." My sister is the most provocative, and I promise to publicize this charity performance well."

"No need, I paid my own money to treat the children to a movie, there is nothing to promote."

Luo Xiazhi shook his head and sat back behind the desk.

It's just a pity that the child who most wanted to see this movie released is no longer here.

The author has something to say: Does the plot of "The New Son-in-Law" look familiar? Tsubaki Yingzi must be furious after seeing it haha.

Sanmao, the third master has started to avenge you, and find a good family in the next life...crying
