Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Yang Che was still smiling, while Wang Fei lowered her head. The smile on her face was gone. At this moment, she felt particularly, particularly sad.

She felt as high as she had been floating in the clouds, and now she was falling hard. She felt dizzy, nauseous, and her ears started ringing.

In that instant, Yang Che thought of many things. When he thought of Gao's parents and Fan's parents, he spoke up: "Old Wang, do you think people will say that our love is a love of the century?"

What can he do?

Damn, this paparazzi is amazing! He's been filming from morning till night, and the photos are incredibly clear. It's like Zhuo Wei secretly filming Xiao Qing's release from prison by hiding in a trash can.

Even if you can fool the general public, can you fool your parents? Even if you can fool your parents, can you fool those two women?

Rather than risk losing everything, it's better to take a gamble.

If it's successful, then it's completely successful.

If that doesn't work, I can always start over from scratch with my shameless spirit.

Wang Fei looked up, her eyes blank, as if she couldn't understand what he was saying. She said in a flat tone, "Just say it's just a friend staying here. We're just friends."

Chen Jiaying looked at him, then at her. What's going on between these two?

"I think it's fine to neither admit nor deny it. Fei, you've always expressed the view that you don't want your private life to be exploited by the entertainment industry."

Wang Fei was taken aback, then looked at Yang Che: "What did you just say?"

Yang Che raised his hand and gently flicked her forehead: "Mom is right, we can just agree to it, what do you say?"

"No, I mean..."

Yang Che grabbed her hand: "Old Wang, let's talk about the rest privately. These reporters are acting like they're on aphrodisiacs right now, let's get rid of them for now, okay?"

Wang Fei frowned and shook his head: "You don't understand. Let it cool down first, Mother, what do you say?"

Chen Jiaying slapped his thigh: "Fine, since we don't know anything anyway, I'll be leaving. Also, at least one of your phones should be on."

Wang Fei slapped her forehead and said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, we have a landline at home."

Chen Jiaying choked: "You're so anxious you've lost your mind."

As they reached the door, Chen Jiaying looked at Yang Che and said, "Many people might think you're taking advantage of Afei, but I know that's not the case. I've always felt that you two are a perfect match. You're 20 but very mature, while she's 30 but hasn't grown up. I believe you can take good care of her in both life and career. You love her too, so think it over carefully."

Yang Che paused for a moment, nodded, and said nothing.

The room fell silent as the door closed.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yang Che asked, "Are you sleepy?"

"I'm quite sleepy."

"Shall we go to sleep first?"

Are you sure you can sleep?

"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sleepy too."

So the two went upstairs, back to their room, and lay down. They didn't have any physical contact; they just lay there with their eyes closed.

It seemed as if the commotion outside had nothing to do with them at that moment.

At this moment, the extra editions featuring the exposed relationship have spread to every newsstand in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and more than half of the passersby will put down HK$5 to buy it and take a look. After all, they admire the person who patted the diva on the back and can't wait to find out more.

Yes, this special edition, besides GG, only contains information about Yang Che and Wang Fei.

Wang Fei is alright; it's just rehashing his past relationship and marriage to fill up content and space.

It's worth noting that the song "Fleeting Years" is actually a love song written for Wang Fei. Analyzing the lyrics, it even mentions that they met last May; after all, you only glanced at me briefly / A flash of lightning on a sunny May day / In this lifetime, we are destined to meet on a narrow path / Suddenly, tangled lines appear on my palm...

Incidentally, we can conclude that divas favor talented men.

In comparison, Yang Che's content is more extensive, basically covering everything he has shown to the public.

At that moment, Wang Xiufang downstairs was also watching, and the more she watched, the more surprised she became. She realized that this Mr. Yang, who was also from the mainland, was so amazing.

Mr. Yang is the producer of the mythological drama "Spring Bright Pigsy", which is broadcast on four mainland TV stations. He also wrote the lyrics and music for the opening and closing theme songs. This TV series is very impressive. After 9 days of airing, Jiangsu Satellite TV achieved a 31% rating, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV achieved nearly 30%, and Sichuan Satellite TV achieved 26.32%, ranking first in the country.

The newspaper said the show would have made at least 30 million Hong Kong dollars in profit.

The currently showing "My Sassy Girl" is even more impressive, grossing HK$110 million, or US$15 million, worldwide in just half a month.

Of this, RMB 4700 million came from mainland China, HKD 1800 million from Hong Kong, NTD 3500 million from Taiwan, and USD 400 million from South Korea.

According to newspaper estimates, the film could bring the producers nearly HK$100 million in box office revenue plus copyright income.

It's unclear how much Mr. Yang will personally receive, but the newspapers say it's at least 30%, because Mr. Yang handled everything from the initial project proposal to overseas copyright management. If he really only received 6 RMB as he claims, even Huang Shiren would be moved to tears.

Of course, Wang Xiufang saw Mr. Yang's heroic rescue of the damsel in distress at Beijing West Railway Station again, but this time she didn't mention that he was from a prominent family, because the identities of the two "bodyguards" were clarified: Zhou Liren was a film promotion manager, and Li Xiangdong was a personal assistant... both were veterans.

The newspaper concluded that Yang Che was more talented than Dou Wei, not only creating music but also earning money, and being younger—no wonder the diva fell for him. However, talented men are often fickle, and wealthy talented men are often promiscuous. What if, even worse, Yang Che was only pursuing her idol and would abandon her once he got tired of her? It's unclear whether the diva is mentally prepared for that.

Wang Xiufang spat, but couldn't help feeling a little worried, because Mr. Yang was too young, only 23 years old.

The others in Hong Kong, however, didn't think like Wang Xiufang. Some were amazed by Yang Che's prowess, others questioned whether he had paid a newspaper to take the photos, and still others sourly remarked on how lucky this mainlander was...

Gradually, almost the entire city of Hong Kong was talking about this, as radio, television, and the internet began to report on it.

In an apartment, a bloodshot-eyed Nicholas Tse and Cheung Po-chi were sweating profusely during a passionate encounter, during which Tse even called Daniel Chan to add fuel to the fire...

At a fish ball stall, a bespectacled high school student was excitedly spitting out saliva while patting a newspaper: "I told you before, I told you before, Wang Fei's mysterious boyfriend is this Yang Che, hahaha."

The woman selling fish balls was furious: "Hey, you four-eyed guy, watch your drool!"

The other students sighed helplessly, "You win."

A boy with braces clicked his tongue in astonishment: "Do you think Yang Che is raising a lot of ghosts? Otherwise, how could he be so lucky?"

The bespectacled man was furious: "He's from the mainland, how could he be raising some kind of ghost? He's saving a life, which is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda."

"Four-Eyes, stop spitting!"
