Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 138: It’s normal to pounce
Shen Lang is worthy of being called a “time management master”.

After sending Sun Yanzi off, he turned around and went to pick up Gao Yuanyuan.

The two came to Zhang Guorong's courtyard in Shichahai.

"I've been waiting for you." Zhang Guorong greeted with a smile. He looked much better now.

"You guys eat first." Shen Lang said in advance that he couldn't leave after singing and had to sing "Happy Tonight" with the singers.

This is the closing show of the Spring Festival Gala and is an indispensable part of the show every year.

The actors and some singers can leave immediately after they finish, but the singers who are called upon cannot and have to stay for the final chorus.

Shen Lang naturally couldn't run away, and neither could Sun Yanzi.

"Don't worry, this is the third round." Zhang Guorong explained.

"Come inside and chat. Aren't you cold? Yuanyuan, come here." Mei Yanfang called them.

"Sister Mei." Gao Yuanyuan called out.

Looking at Anita Mui again, although she was smiling, it was obvious that her complexion was not as good as before.

When you enter the house, the first thing that catches your eye is a mahjong table.

Then, a look of surprise flashed in Shen Lang's eyes.

Sitting around the table were Wang Jingfei and Liu Jialing, with Liang Chaowei watching.

"No need to introduce them. They are here to congratulate me on moving into my new home." Zhang Guorong said with a smile.

Everyone greeted each other and went to the restaurant to eat.

The table was full of food, some of which were Cantonese dishes prepared by their agent. Worried that Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan might not be used to the food, they ordered some local specialties like Yanjing Roast Duck, Beijing-style Shredded Pork with Sauce, and Kung Pao Chicken from a restaurant outside.

They talked and laughed, drank and ate, and this belated New Year's Eve dinner was quite fun.

There is a big difference between the superstars, movie actors and actresses on screen and in real life. They have the same emotions and desires as ordinary people, like gossip, and smoke and drink.

Shen Lang had seen news in his original time and space saying that Zhang Guorong, Wang Jingfei, and Liu Jialing were mahjong enthusiasts. He thought they were just playing a few rounds in their spare time, just like he played games to pass the time.

Anita Mui said: "When it comes to playing mahjong, no one here can beat him. It's also Chinese New Year. When someone comes to pay New Year's greetings, we say "Wish you a prosperous New Year" and then continue playing mahjong. After playing all night, we go to a hotel to have breakfast. At 4pm, we get up and clean up. At around 5pm, we go back to the mahjong table. We have been playing like this for seven days."

Liu Jialing had the deepest experience: "He was obsessed with mahjong. When we were filming East is West, we were very rushed. After work, we didn't have much time to rest. He would drag a few of us to play mahjong. We played all night long. When we went to the set early the next morning, everyone was yawning."

Wang Jingfei followed up with a revelation: "He has a big addiction but poor skills, and likes to gossip. He once hosted a Guorong Cup Mahjong competition and invited many friends, but he himself didn't even make it to the semi-finals."

In an interview, Zhang Guorong was asked what is the one thing you most want to do before the end of the world?
He put his hands together and prayed to the sky, then slowly said: "If there really is such a day, I hope God will inform me in advance, I will call Liu Jialing, Lin Qingxia, and Wang Jingfei to play mahjong together, and I will also win a big three yuan, then there will be no regrets in life."

This shows their love for playing mahjong.

Zhang Guorong was criticized but didn't get angry. She smiled and said, "Wang Jingfei, you said my cards are bad, how are yours?"

Wang Jingfei glared at me and said, "If you say I'm not good at singing, I'll admit it. But if you say I'm not good at playing mahjong, I'll never admit it even if you kill me!"

Everyone laughed and the living room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Yuanyuan, come and play for a while. I have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom." Mei Yanfang was tired and made an excuse to take a break.

"I'm not very good at playing." Gao Yuanyuan usually just watches and has never actually played at the table.

"Come on, we like those who don't know how to play." Wang Jingfei joked with her.

"Don't be afraid, Alang is here. If you lose, let him pay." Zhang Guorong said with a smile.

"There are bonuses for newbies. Maybe you'll have to give us some leniency." Liu Jialing said with a smile.

"I'll teach you." Shen Lang calmed Gao Yuanyuan's slightly nervous heart with just one sentence.

"Okay." Gao Yuanyuan sat down at the table.

"Hit this..."

"You can touch..." "It's a waste..."

The two of them worked together and won several games in a row.

Shen Lang is not very good at playing mahjong, but he has a good memory and reasoning ability. He can guess what hand he will win, or what cards he has, based on the cards his opponents play. This is more than enough to deal with a group of them.

In one night, I won more and lost less.

They do it for fun, so it doesn’t matter how much money they make.

But I always lose, so I can’t feel good.

Zhang Guorong and Wang Jingfei, who didn't win much, made a firm statement that they would win back tomorrow night.

After staying up all night, everyone rested in the courtyard.

The apartment Zhang Guorong bought is a two-story building with a relatively large area, a deep courtyard, numerous rooms, distinct levels, and a clear inside and outside. It is quiet and closed, so it is no problem for more than a dozen people to live there.

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan live separately, so there is no need for this in other people's homes.

I got up in the afternoon, had dinner, and instead of rushing to the table, I rushed to the cinema.

Directed by Jeffrey Lau, the comedy film "The Unparalleled" is released, starring Wang Jingfei, Liang Chaowei, Zhao Wei, Zhang Zhen, and includes guest appearances by big stars such as Zhu Yin, Zhang Yaoyang, and Ning Jing.

The two protagonists are here, so naturally we have to support them.

Zhang Guorong directly booked the entire theater.

However, when I got to the cinema, I found that both the screening schedule and attendance were poor, and the box office performance on the first day was mediocre.

Shen Lang had watched the CD in his previous life.

Wang Jingfei appeared in men's clothing. Her pretty face, tall and thin figure, and cool temperament were set off extremely brightly by the men's clothing. Many viewers even thought that her ancient men's costume was better than ancient women's costume.

Huangmei Opera is the biggest innovation of the film. Wherever the music plays, it is the most emotional part of the film.

The director, Jeffrey Lau, is the director of "A Chinese Odyssey" and "A Chinese Odyssey".

This time, he completely imitated the characteristics of Wang Jiawei's personal photographer Du Kefeng in his shooting techniques, using a lot of high-speed frame extraction and deformation photography techniques. The soundtrack was also copied from "Ashes of Time", and the characters that appeared in the film were all madly making fun of classic movie lines.

As a result, love, family affection and friendship are mixed together, performing a confusing farce, lacking in scenes that make people laugh.

It's normal to fail.

After watching it, Wang Jingfei and Liang Chaowei were too embarrassed to ask them for their comments.

After leaving the theater, I saw only a few scattered customers.

Although Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx" was released on the 1995th day of the th lunar month in as a New Year's film, opening the mainland's Spring Festival movie season, this period has not yet developed.

"Is my vision blurry? Why do I see Shen Lang, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Wang Jingfei, Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing?"

“It seems to be them!”

"Hurry over!"

There are few people, so it doesn't affect Shen Lang and others from being recognized.

The main reason is that they are all famous.

The result was that a lot of autographs were given out.

At this time, Wang Jingfei and Liang Chaowei acted as promoters, asking everyone to support their new film.

When we returned to the courtyard, we continued to play mahjong.

We played at Zhang Guorong's place for another day and left on the third day of the junior high school.
