Chapter 277 Xiao Fangfang


    With the rapid development of Hong Kong''s economy, especially the rapid development of the stock market and property market, the first batch of middle class was born in the late 1970s.


    Their income is not low, but the housing area is very small. If it is 500 square feet (less than 50 square meters), it meets the standard. If they really want to live in a foreign-style house and raise a dog, they have to be a wealthy class.


    The direct reason for the birth of so-called urban movies is the rise of the middle class.


    In the past, Hong Kong films were all Republic of China dramas and costume dramas, with very few urban films. However, now some people are paying attention to this market and slowly starting to test the waters. Chen Qi''s version of "The Love Between Ghosts" is packaged with ghosts and ghosts, and is essentially an urban romance film.


    The hero and villain of the original version are both elites in the financial world.


    The male protagonist is older and has higher authority.


    The villain secretly helped people launder money. The male protagonist discovered the clues and wanted to investigate suspicious accounts. The villain asked someone to pretend to be a robbery in order to obtain the access password in his wallet. Unexpectedly, he did not get the password and accidentally killed the male protagonist.


    The male protagonist becomes a ghost, and the villain approaches the female protagonist, trying to seduce her with sweet words, and get the password out of her mouth...


    This is the main line of the story.


    Chen Qi made some changes based on the actors. Liu Dehua was younger than Liang Jiahui, so he set up a relationship between senior and junior. Liu Dehua was a fledgling and upright person, and he directly discovered that Liang Jiahui helped others launder money.


    Liang Jiahui begged and pretended to repent, then hired a murderer to kill him.


    Unexpectedly, Liu Dehua left a piece of evidence in the relic. The heroine did not find it for the time being, so Liang Jiahui began to flirt with the heroine in order to destroy the evidence and gain both people and money...


    The original version is 2 hours long, but the Hong Kong movie is not that good. The Hong Kong movie lasts more than 2 hours and is just waiting to hit the streets. The audience doesn’t have the patience. Chen Qi made many changes to make the rhythm faster and finished it in 110 minutes.


    The original male and female characters have no highlights. The female protagonist Demi Moore is impressive with her short black hair and affectionate eyes.


    But the most outstanding role is the psychic, played by Whoopi Goldberg. She later starred in "Sisters Are Crazy". She is a born comedy star, the kind that will go down in film history.


    Chen Qi also needs to find someone who can hold up this version.


    There are many actors in Hong Kong who are famous for playing ghosts and goddesses, such as Roland, who has made hundreds of ghost films and is known as the Queen of Ghosts. However, she cannot play this role because her comedy talent is not enough.


    She must be crazy. She is chatty and cute. She has a strong aura and can catch people''s attention as soon as she appears.


    Chen Qi thought about it and chose one.


    But instead of negotiating it himself, he left it to Shi Hui.


    …


    Dining room.


    Fu Mingxian ate hard at a plate of food. Shi Hui wiped her mouth and looked at the door, as if waiting for someone.


    Not long after, the doorman''s voice sounded, and with the click of high heels, a tall woman in her 30s walked in.


    She has a long face, relatively high cheekbones, and looks a bit mean, but her eyes are very bright, unlike most female celebrities who are empty, and there is a unique style and posture dancing in them.


    When she came closer, she called out: "Sister Hui!"


    "Fangfang, long time no see!"


    Shi Hui stood up, hugged her gently, pulled Fu Mingxian over, and said with a smile: "This is my daughter, just call her Zhizhi... Zhizhi, call her Aunt Fangfang!"


    "Obviously she is sister, why do you call her aunt?"


    Fu Mingxian had obviously practiced this sentence at home. When he said it, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. However, Xiao Fangfang burst into laughter and was very happy. He hugged the little girl tightly and took off a bracelet from his wrist and gave it to her.


    She looked at her mother. Shi Hui knew that this was the habit of the older generation, who came from that era, and said, "Since it''s given to you, just keep it."


    Fu Mingxian''s mission was over and he went back to eating his food.


    Xiao Fangfang looked at her and sighed with emotion: "It''s been so many years, not to mention you, even I have a daughter." "Yes, you were only that old back then, and I was holding you and playing with you every day on the set."


    The two chatted for a few words.


    Xiao Fangfang smoothed her hair on her temples, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Sister Hui, what''s the matter with your date with me today?"


    "I want to find you to act in a play." Shi Hui said bluntly.


    "I left the Great Wall when I was 8 years old and have never cooperated with the leftists again. Why are you suddenly looking for me?" Xiao Fangfang was surprised.


    "Because you are the most suitable for this role, would you like to read the script first?"


    "No..."


    Xiao Fangfang shook her head and said: "I am living a good life now, my career is considered successful, I have a husband and children, and I don''t want anything to happen."


    "Yes, I usually read the newspaper and often see news about you. When I see you, you are very happy now."


    Shi Hui did not continue talking about filming, but changed the topic and asked: "I heard that you are going to study in the United States again? What are you studying this time?"


    "Psychology! Oh, it should be child psychology!"


    When it comes to studying, Xiao Fangfang beamed and said with a smile: "I only came up with this idea after I had my daughter, because I was afraid that I would not be a good mother. I learned that there is such a subject, and I finally passed the exam." ”


    "This is what I admire most about you. You never went to school seriously and never gave up on yourself. Instead, you focused on studying. By the way, what did you study in the United States last time?"


    “Last time it was Mass Communications!”


    "Oh, then you will have a double degree when you come back!"


    "Don''t embarrass me. I became a monk halfway."


    "I''m speaking from the bottom of my heart, but you''re okay this time. Your mother is gone and no one can stop you."


    Shi Hui said something a little rude, but Xiao Fangfang was startled, and then Shi Hui said again: "Oh, you are suffering too much!"


    Just these four words made Xiao Fangfang''s nose sore and she almost shed tears.


    Her mother is a Shanghai socialite, her first husband is an old scumbag Liu Haisu, and her second husband is a banker, Xiao Fangfang''s biological father. Her mother is Zhang Shizhao''s goddaughter, Fu Lei''s apprentice, and has a rich family background.


    In the past 49 years in Hong Kong, my father''s business failed, he was in debt, and he died early.


    Xiao Fangfang was filming movies at the age of 7 to support her family. She was originally from the Great Wall. Later, the rightists poached people with high salaries. Her mother broke the contract and switched jobs to a rightist company. Her mother has a strong personality, speaks her truth, and has controlled her for 30 years.


    He regarded his daughter as a cash cow and worked hard to get her roles. From 1953 to 1968, he acted in a total of 209 movies.


    She has never been to school and has always wanted to study in the United States. Her mother has always disagreed, but finally agreed, but on one condition: she must pay for the tuition herself.


    So Xiao Fangfang went to the United States and sang on stage in Chinatown to earn money. When she was about to pay the tuition, her mother said that she had been cheated in her business and asked Xiao Fangfang to send money back...


    That’s what a mom is.


    Xiao Fangfang is now successful and famous. She runs her own company and is the boss. She has also been very successful in making comedies. Mainland audiences know her mostly from her works in the 1990s, such as "Fang Shiyu" and "Women at Forty".


    There are several actresses in Hong Kong who are great at comedy.


    For example, Tak-han Ip, Mo Shun-jun, Sandra Ng... But Siu Fong-fang is the first and the best. She broke the convention that women in Hong Kong comedy can only be used as vases.


    She was born deaf in her right ear, and later became completely deaf. She also had several bumpy relationships. In short, she was a miserable person.
