Compared to mainland China, where fans of celebrities go crazy when they see them, Hong Kong and Taiwan's attitude towards celebrities is actually quite formal, or in other words, everyone is relatively rational. For example, many big stars also visit and eat at street stalls.
Apart from the need to guard against those annoying paparazzi taking photos of privacy, people who ask for photos or autographs can basically get it done quickly.
It's not like discovering a famous celebrity in China, and then a large number of people gather around to watch the fun, and eventually the main road is blocked.
While the fans are of high quality, if you put aside the gossip and tidbits about Hong Kong celebrities. Every celebrity is also very talented. Regardless of how they are in private, at least they are decent on the surface.
If there is any charity gala, charity performance, or donation for something, these celebrities are very active and play a good role in taking the lead. Of course, there are also people who have brain problems and don't know who they are, and they seem to have a brain problem and take the wrong side, but this is just an individual, most Hong Kong stars are still good.
The person who came to Yang Dongxu was not Hua Zai, one of his brother's friends. But it was Lin Jiadong, Liao Qizhi and others. Hong Kong has many A-list celebrities and superstars.
In addition to these bright stars, there are also many second- and third-tier stars in Hong Kong, especially those with gold medal supporting roles.
For example, eight taels of gold, Ruhua, etc. Although these supporting roles are not as prominent and well-known as Wu Mengda, they are still supporting roles that impress many people.
Lin Jiadong is one of the supporting actors who has the potential to develop into a star, as are Liao Qizhi and others. But I don’t know that although these two people have become famous in Hong Kong, the Mainland, and even Japan and South Korea over the years.
But compared to those first-line stars, these reputations always feel inferior. For example, Lin Jiadong wants a movie with a bit of a movie, and a box office with a box office.
Although many of them are supporting roles, there are also second male leads. And both the box office of movies and the ratings of TV series are among the best, and even the movies they film are among the top box office regulars in Hong Kong.
In addition, he has the support of a superstar like Andy Lau, and he is currently the only artist with a lifetime contract with his own agency.
Therefore, there is no shortage of works, resources, and even big bosses to support us. But for some reason, there are many actors like Lam Ji-Tung in Hong Kong, who are stuck at the end of the second line, unable to improve their careers again, let alone enter the front line.
"Young Master Yang." Yang Dongxu is very famous in Hong Kong, whether in the entertainment industry or the rich circle, it goes without saying. However, although he is very famous, not everyone knows him.
In other words, everyone has heard the name of Young Master and knows that this person is Haina's big boss and comes from a mainland background and background, but not everyone knows what he looks like.
However, Lin Jiadong obviously knows Yang Dongxu. After all, he is someone who Andy takes great care of. Yang Dongxu and Andy Lau are friends, and Jack Lam rarely appears in many of Heiner's works.
But Yang Dongxu and Andy know each other very well and are friends, and he and Lin Jiadong are just acquaintances, not very familiar. However, because of his status, Ren Jiadong naturally came to say hello in person when he saw him.
"Jia Dong, have you eaten? Do you want to sit down and eat something together?" Yang Dongxu stood up with a smile and shook hands with Lin Jiadong.
In fact, Yang Dongxu also expressed a little confusion about Lin Jiadong's career. Lin Jiadong is also a very hard-working actor. Although he has done some ridiculous things before, he can be regarded as a prodigal son who has turned around and really changed his past.
And this incident is actually not uncommon in Hong Kong. For example, Louis Koo made mistakes because he was young and ignorant, but later became Principal Gu who was admired by everyone and became a top celebrity.
So those previous experiences are not the reason why Lin Jiadong cannot become a front-line player. Therefore, for Andy Lau's agency to give him resources, Hainer also gave them resources for Andy Lau's sake, which is strange even if he is not popular.
After all, you can be forgiven for saying that the work is not good, after all, the audience won't buy it. However, the films produced by Jack Lam all have good box office results, and some of them have been among the top ten in Hong Kong's total box office for several years in a row. But Lin Jiadong was just playing with people but not being popular, and he was like a ghost.
"No need, Mr. Yang, I just happened to come here to eat and saw you, so I came over to say hello to you. My friend and I are eating over there." Lin Jiadong said quickly.
To be honest, seeing that it was obviously a family dinner here for Yang Dongxu, he was hesitant to come over just now. But now that they have met, whether it is for Andy Lau's sake or because of the cooperative relationship between him and Hainer's film department, it doesn't make sense to come and say hello in person, so I can only bite the bullet and come over.
So after saying hello here, I naturally didn't want to disturb him anymore. I said goodbye to Yang Dongxu with a smile. I didn't even introduce the friends around me. A few people came over to say a few words, and then went to the table they booked to prepare for dinner.
Although this scene attracted the attention of some guests nearby, everyone thought it was nothing. After all, who hasn’t made a friend yet? Hong Kong is neither too small nor too big. It is normal to say hello to friends when you meet them for dinner.
"He is also a star. The one next to him seems to be the same, but I can't pronounce his name. But when he was acting in movies, he played a scary bad guy. I didn't expect him to be so kind and polite in reality." The eldest sister looked at Lin Jiadong curiously. After a few people left, they glanced at the back and said.
"Acting is acting, and reality cannot be confused with reality. For example, the four villains in Hong Kong are all evil-faced, and the roles they play are also very scary. But in fact, those few people are quite good, even if they look evil and good." Yang Dongxu smiled. said.
Some of the actors here in Hong Kong have played characters that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For example, the four evil villains make people panic when they meet them in real life. After some people played the role of police officers, some citizens actually called him to call the police.
It stands to reason that the character you play is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so you should be happy. This is a full affirmation of your acting skills. But such an oolong incident naturally makes people laugh and cry.
"I heard that there used to be a black society here, and the people in the black society not only collected protection fees, but also opened companies to make movies. Is it true?" Brother-in-law Liu Leehom couldn't help but follow the gossip.
"It used to be a bit chaotic, but that's all in the past. Since Hong Kong's return, although the film and television industry here has been slowly shrinking due to its partiality and continuous over-development over the years, there has been no innovation and progress.
But both society and filming are on the right track. Of course, it is inevitable to be both white and black, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as in the movie. "
He had actually experienced the era that his brother-in-law Liu Leehom was talking about. Although Haina was supported by wealthy families when he was developing in Hong Kong, he rarely encountered troublesome society or gangsters.
It is even more common to be charged protection fees. Even Li Chaoren's son was kidnapped and blackmailed. It took several years for the kidnapper to be brought to justice. One can imagine how chaotic Hong Kong was at that time.
In fact, at that time, the situation was similar not only in Hong Kong, but also in the mainland and even several neighboring countries. The mainland has also carried out severe crackdowns several times. If foreigners from neighboring countries came to do business, not only would their money be lost, but their people would also be lost inexplicably.
But with the development of the country, especially the common progress of the entire society, these things naturally melt into the sunshine. Even if there are shaded areas where the sun cannot shine, most ordinary people may not encounter them once in their lifetime.
"That's good, that's good. My parents have always told me before I came here to be careful when going out and don't wander around. I was thinking that this time I was traveling, how can I travel without wandering around?" Liu Leehom breathed a sigh of relief. .
The brother-in-law's words made Yang Dongxu dumbfounded. It was obviously not just what his parents said. Since such a question is asked, it is obvious that those previous Hong Kong movies also had a great influence on Liu Leehom.
Many mainlanders even regard everything in the movie as Hong Kong's real society, so those murder cases, corruption cases, especially the gang fights between the young and the Dangerous, naturally make ordinary people feel exciting and deeply uneasy at the same time.
"It's not a big problem to play casually and wander around. But don't forget to run in remote places in the middle of the night. Especially in foreign countries, there are many thieves and robbers.
However, these are unavoidable and normal phenomena. Our country’s security is so good, but why are there robberies while walking at night? So it’s wise to be on guard. Yang Dongxu said.
"That's fine. You can just take a walk during the day if you have nothing to do. As for sleeping in the hotel at night, you won't go out for a walk if you have nothing to do." Liu Leehom said while dividing the fish meat with the fish bones in half and giving it to the little guy. Each person put a piece on the plate.
The two families were eating and chatting. Zhou Ya had already started to give advice to her elder sister Hong Ying, and after a while the two of them went to the clothing store and cosmetics store to have a good browse.
Another person entered the restaurant. The restaurant is a place for people to eat. It is normal for people to come and go. However, the recent formation of this group of people has been a bit big. Not only are there several big stars in the entertainment industry leading the group, but the few who are surrounded and moving forward are rich people who have appeared in Hong Kong newspapers for a long time.
As a rich man in Hong Kong, some have higher exposure than celebrities. This is also related to the rapid development of Hong Kong's newspaper industry, the public's curiosity about the rich and the sales of newspapers, and the fact that many rich people and entertainment stars are always involved in various gossips and scandals.
"What a coincidence." Zhou Ya couldn't help but said after taking a curious look at the group of people swarming not far away.
"It's quite a coincidence." Yang Dongxu nodded, because the person walking in the middle of the group was none other than Sister Bao whom she saw in Hedong Garden yesterday, and next to her were several well-known rich people in Hong Kong.
Her son Bao Xingyu was politely walking behind, chatting with a few peers, who were probably the nephews of rich men walking in the middle. This was obviously a small gathering in the circle. Sister Bao did not see Yang Dongxu and the others. A group of people entered the private room on the second floor of the restaurant while walking and talking.
However, Sister Bao, who was walking at the front when picking up people, did not see Yang Dongxu, but the group of young people walking behind noticed him. Or someone noticed him. That person was not Bao Xingyu, but Li Changze who was walking side by side with Bao Xingyu.
