Three days later, Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport.
Fang Yan and Gong Qie waited at the exit for almost 10 minutes when they saw Pan Yaoming, Pan Yaoming and Li Zhi walking over carrying suitcases.
Li Zhi wore a black slim-fitting dress with white polka dots, while Bai Ruoxue wore light blue short sleeves and white wide-leg pants.
They greeted Fang Yan with smiling faces, and then hugged Gong Jie, talking and laughing with each other.
“Brother Yaoming!”
Fang Yan focused his attention on Pan Yaoming, shaking hands and joking: "No, I should change my name to Editor Pan now."
Pan Yaoming shook his head, "Don't make fun of me, I This time I am the deputy director of Sanlian Bookstore Editor, I still don’t know if it’s a blessing?”
“Don’t think so. Although the current situation of Sanlian Bookstore is a bit complicated, you have to have confidence in yourself.”
Dialect is encouraging while walking.
“I’m just afraid that my ability is limited and I won’t be able to turn around the situation of Sanlian Bookstore and live up to Mr. Xiao’s expectations.”
Pan Yaoming smiled bitterly. If Fang Yan could come to Sanlian Bookstore, he could be the deputy editor for him, and he would be willing to do it.
Fang Yan raised his hand, said some words of encouragement, and then helped him put his luggage into the trunk of the taxi.
"I won't disturb your family reunion. I will host a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow, and then I can take care of you."
"Okay!"
Pan Yaoming nodded and got into the car.
"Remember to bring your sister-in-law and nephew with you."
Fang Yan closed the car door forcefully, then waved and watched the car carrying Pan Yaoming drive away slowly.
“It’s time for us to leave.”
Gong Qie walked behind and reminded.
Fang Yan then sat in the passenger seat. Through the rearview mirror, he could clearly see Bai Ruoxue and Li Zhi in the rear driver's seat.
After telling the driver where Li Zhi lived, the red crown flew away like an arrow.
After a bumpy ride, Bai Ruoxue took out two beautifully wrapped gifts from her bag:
"Teacher Fang, Sister Gong Zhi, this is what Li Zhi and I have prepared for you. Be careful, you guys." Don’t dislike it.”
“How could it be!”
Gong Chou thanked him and accepted it happily.
Fang Yan half-turned around and said with a smile: "Ruoxue, have you bought the gift I asked you to buy for Yanzi?"
"It's done!"
Bai Ruoxue said she'll wait when the time comes. When they return to the mainland, they can go to the Friendship Store and pick up the two computers sent back to China.
"Computer?!" Gong Qian was surprised, "You also bought a computer?"
Bai Ruoxue explained: "Yes, Yanzi passed the college entrance examination this year and studied computer science at Shuimu University. Department, Teacher Fang asked me to order a computer for her as a gift in the United States, and as for the other one..." He looked straight at Fang Yan.
"If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. This computer will facilitate my future creations."
Fang Yan answered straightforwardly, and then asked about the details of the computer.
Li Zhi told the truth: "According to your request, I bought Apple Macintosh computers."
Fang Yan showed a satisfied smile, Macintosh computers can be compared with the previous ones. Personal computers were completely different, integrating the latest interactive elements and technological innovations at the time, such as graphical user interfaces, mice, WYSIWYG word processing systems and image modification software.
It can be regarded as the prototype of modern computers, so it has achieved great success in business.
In just 6 months, sales have exceeded 100,000 units, even though the price is as high as $2,495.
“2500 US dollars?!”
Hearing the price, Gong Qie was shocked, “This is too expensive!”
“Computers are expensive. It’s worth it.”
Fang Yan disagrees. Compared with previous IBM computers that cost tens of thousands, Apple’s Macintosh computers are actually not expensive.
Of course, my computer is an IBM brand, and it is not equipped with Apple's Mac system, but Windows 1.0, which was just launched this year, which is the pioneering work of Microsoft's graphical user interface, and its functions are relatively complete.
“Can I type Chinese characters on a computer?”
Gong Zie was very curious.
"Of course it's not supported, but just install the Chinese card." Fang Yan smiled. The so-called Chinese card is an expansion card that solidifies the Chinese character input method and driver into a read-only memory.
The principle is complex but not complicated at all. This kind of Chinese card is specially designed by a Chinese character system, an integrated circuit board and a software system carried by a 5-inch floppy disk. The chip library on the board permanently stores commonly used characters. Standard Chinese characters allow users to convert the information entered by typing on the keyboard into numbers that the computer can understand, and then find the corresponding Chinese character address in the character library.
The computer can read the information and display a Chinese character composed of a dot matrix on the screen or print it on paper through the processor and memory.
The reason why I haven’t equipped myself with a computer until now is because the first Chinese card in the mainland was only born this year.
From now on, I can finally say goodbye to the days of handwriting novels, and no longer have to painstakingly handwrite hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of words!
…………
There was still some way to Li Zhi's house, and at this time, the traffic light on the road was red.
Gong Cie, Bai Ruoxue and Li Zhi talked about their current situation, and Gong Cie was the one they talked about the most.
Although "Once Upon a Time in China" has been released one after another in Hong Kong cinemas, the popularity has not subsided. The image of Gong Chou as "Thirteenth Aunt" and the reputation of Jet Li in "Once Upon a Time in China" have not subsided. Like the head, it is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Whenever it appears on the street, it will definitely attract onlookers.
That is to say, Gong Zhen doesn't like to appear in public and accept commercials. Otherwise, endorsements and drama appointments will come to him like snowflakes.
The more Li Zhi listened, the more envious she became, "Sister Gongjie is indeed Sister Gongjie. If it were me, she would definitely not have such deep concentration."
"You think too highly of me. In fact, when I see those remunerations, sometimes I can't help it."
Gong Cie said that as a mainland actor, he cannot make his own decisions and accept films from Xiangjiang Company without authorization. and advertising, destroying organizational discipline.
“That’s really a pity.”
Li Zhi sighed quietly.
Gong Qian noticed her expression keenly, "You seem to be very interested in the entertainment industry. Do you want to be an actor?"
Fang Yan stared at the rearview mirror calmly, and saw Li Zhi in the mirror pursed her lips, and finally admitted openly:
"Sister Gongjie, I do have this idea, but I haven't yet Decide whether to do this..."
"Huh? "
Bai Ruoxue didn't expect that her best friend, a top business student at the University of San Francisco, didn't want to read the financial report. The script is up.
"This is nothing to make a fuss about. Ruoxue, you are also involved in literature and art. It's just that you are in literature and she is in movies."
Fang Yan then pointed out a clear path. Now, if you want to make a debut in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, you can only sign up for TVB artist training courses like Zhou Xingchi, or participate in TVB's "Hong Kong Miss Beauty Pageant" like Maggie Cheung and Zhao Yazhi, or This year, ATV launched a new "Asian Sister" talent show to compete with the "Hong Kong Sister". Or, like Wang Zuxian, she was spotted by nobles like Fang Yihua and poached to Hong Kong for development.
"I...I..."
Faced with so many choices, Li Zhi was confused and suddenly fell into a dilemma.
“Don’t worry, if I remember correctly, you should graduate next year.”
Fang Yan said with a smile: “You can think about it slowly during this period, and then think about it clearly. Tell us.”
Gong Qie added, "If you really want to be an actor, we will help wherever we can."
Fang Yan nodded, he would not just provide all support except help. After all, Li Zhi can also be regarded as half of her own people.
"Thank you, Teacher Fang, thank you Sister Gong."
Li Zhi's face turned red and her heart beat faster. When the car arrived at the door of the residential building, she immediately got out of the car in a panic.
Watching her gradually disappearing from his sight, Bai Ruoxue couldn't help but sigh:
"I really didn't expect Li Zhi's dream to be an actress!"
"You've been with her for so long and you didn't notice it at all?"
Fang Yan asked a question Inquiring gaze.
“I didn’t think about this before, but now that I think about it, it was weird when she came back from the Oscars.”
Gong Qie recalled some of Li Zhi’s strange behavior before. words and deeds.
"What about you Ruoxue?"
Fang Yan asked.
"Teacher Fang, you know me. I have no interest in movies. I only have a soft spot for business and literature."
Bai Ruoxue smiled and then asked about them When will you return to the mainland?
“The filming of "Baby Smart Stars" has not been completed yet, so I have to stay on the crew for a while."
There was regret in Gong Xie's tone, "He will go back with you this time."
Fang Yan comforted him in a soft voice: "I just wanted to check on the situation at home and send the manuscript to "Huaxia" "Writer" is published, I will be back soon after everything is done." Then he looked out the window at the fleeting scenery, and his thoughts drifted into the distance unknowingly. (End of this chapter)
