After coming out of the store, the more Liu Ruicheng thought about it, the more strange it became.
I put down a five-yuan coin to pay for the phone bill, and turned around and left without waiting for the store owner to ask for compensation.
As soon as he stepped out of the store, Liu Ruicheng bumped into a guy who was in a hurry.
Before the curse words could be uttered, Liu Ruicheng had already recognized this person as a reporter from a Hong Kong newspaper. Because of their work, the two of them had interacted several times and were considered half-acquaintances.
When he saw what the other party was wearing, including a lot of cameras and recorders, Liu Ruicheng knew that he must have just come out of the premiere of "The Thirteen Beauties".
"Reporter Xu, what a coincidence that you are also here to attend the premiere of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"
Seeing that the reporter named Xu Lihua was an acquaintance, he quickly took back the curse words that were on his lips.
"It turns out to be Mr. Liu. I'm really sorry. I was walking a little hastily just now. Didn't I hit you?"
Liu Ruicheng shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but he couldn't help but look at Xu Lihua's face curiously.
Because just as he was talking to himself, Xu Lihua's face already showed anxiety. Coupled with the way he was rushing on his way just now, it was obvious that he had encountered something anxious.
"Reporter Xu, is there something urgent?"
"Mr. Liu still doesn't know?" Xu Lihua looked at Liu Ruicheng in surprise.
Seeing Liu Ruicheng's confused expression, Xu Lihua then remembered that the other person was a film critic, not a reporter, so of course he wouldn't be as well-informed as himself.
Xu Lihua glanced to both sides, then lowered his voice and said, "Miss Zhou is giving birth!"
"Is that Miss Zhou giving birth?" Liu Ruicheng asked subconsciously. Then his expression suddenly froze, and even his tone became stuttering: "Are you talking aboutZhou Huimin?"
"Who else could be there besides her? Didn't you see that Lin Youlun didn't show up today. He must have been guarding the hospital early in the morning!" Xu Lihua hurriedly explained these two sentences to Liu Ruicheng, then turned to leave.
Liu Ruicheng recovered from the shock of the news and grabbed Xu Lihua.
"Boy or girl?"
"This is not clear yet, but there should be news soon." Xu Lihua said goodbye to Liu Ruicheng, and then left without looking back. He still has to rush to the hospital, and he may be late. There is no news at all.
Watching Xu Lihua stop a taxi and leave, Liu Ruicheng thought that the Hong Kong media would be very busy today.
Originally, the premieres of "The Thirteen Beauties" and "Tai Ping Lun" were already eye-catching enough. Now that news of Zhou Huimin's successful birth has emerged, it is estimated that many newspapers have to change their headlines.
If Zhou Huimin had given birth to a girl, the matter would have been simple. At most, the media would be very lively for a while. After all, there have been more and more romantic deeds about Lin Youlun in recent years. First, Zhong Chuhong gave birth to his daughter. The girl is very popular, and some time ago, some media in the United States photographed Qiu Shuzhen, who had not been seen in public for a long time, when she was out shopping. There was a nanny holding a little girl no more than two years old, which should also be related to Lin Youlun. However, the precautions there were tight and the media had not yet been able to catch more evidence.
With Lin Youlun¡¯s wealth and status at this moment, having one or two more daughters is not a big deal to outsiders. What everyone really cares about is who can become his wife.
In the early years, Lin Youlun¡¯s mother Chen Huiqing wanted to ¡°force¡± her son to get married as soon as possible. She once stated in front of the media that whoever can continue the good fortune of the Lin family is qualified to marry into the Lin family.
When Chen Huiqing said this, her original intention was to build momentum for Zhou Huimin, and at the same time, she also wanted to give her "unofficially appointed" daughter-in-law a sense of urgency.
Zhou Huimin¡¯s belly is also up to par. Although she was not the first woman to conceive a child for Lin Youlun, she did give birth to a boy for the Lin family. The news spread throughout Hong Kong later in the evening, as if it had wings, causing another sensation.
Although after the news of Zhou Huimin¡¯s birth came out, the reporters who rushed to the hospital had already surrounded the private hospital responsible for delivering Zhou Huimin¡¯s baby. However, reporters continued to come from all over.
Seeing that the number of reporters gathered here was almost over 300, the police had to dispatch police officers to the scene to maintain order.
When a young reporter arrived, he saw a crowd of people in front of the hospital, and his heart suddenly dropped. They received the news only half an hour later than others. This was already the case when they arrived at the scene. Is there any news? It had also been snatched away by other reporters long ago.
"Boss, I think we should withdraw today. Zhou Huimin just gave birth to her baby today, and she will definitely not be discharged from the hospital so soon."
Many newspapers are willing to offer high bonuses in order to grab exclusive news. For example, a recent photo of Zhou Huimin¡¯s son has been raised to a sky-high price of HK$5 million. This is why so many reporters blocked the door of the hospital and refused to leave. reason.
The middle-aged reporter who was once the "boss" turned back and glared at the young reporter, his eyes full of disdain.
"Don't think about that one million, because no one can get this money."
"Why?"
The young reporter looked like a rookie, which made the middle-aged reporter unable to express his temper and almost suffered internal injuries.
"Do you think the presidents and editors-in-chief of those newspapers are all idiots? Spending five million to buy a photo? The reason why they offer such a high price is because they are sure that no one will take such a photo You don¡¯t have to use your brain to think about what kind of person Lin Youlun is. If Hong Gu gave birth to a daughter for him back then, if she hadn¡¯t brought it back to Hong Kong when she was one year old, everyone would still be in the dark; and there is Qiu Shuzhen, who said that Who would have thought that going to the United States to film a movie was to secretly give birth to a baby? Don¡¯t look at this time Zhou Huimin has not avoided the media¡¯s attention since she was pregnant. But as long as Lin Youlun doesn¡¯t want to, who dares to pat his chest and say that he will definitely be able to photograph the baby? Photo?"
The young reporter lowered his head like a grandson and was scolded. Finally, the middle-aged reporter said he was tired, and then he raised his head and answered in a flattering manner: "The boss still understands."
The middle-aged reporter snorted coldly, "Do you think those people guarding the door are just for the five million that you can see but can't get?"
"Isn't it?" the young reporter said subconsciously, then realized that this was a bit stupid, and quickly covered his mouth with his right hand.
"I said, why don't you understand? Lin Youlun just had a son. Will people in the circle be indifferent to such a big thing? Look, there will definitely be no shortage of big names and celebrities visiting the hospital tonight, and the lineup will definitely be great. How can it be worse than the Academy Awards ceremony!"
As soon as the middle-aged reporter finished speaking, a black Mercedes-Benz that was about to enter the hospital was blocked at the door.
As soon as Wang Jing¡¯s familiar fat face appeared in front of the media, it immediately caused quite a stir.
"Please, everyone, I just received the news. I don't know what's going on in it at all. If you have any questions, please wait until I come out, okay?"
Wang Jing clasped his hands and bowed around, and finally escaped into the hospital with the help of hospital security and accompanying bodyguards.
A few minutes after Wang Jing entered, a car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. This time, two foreigners got out of the car.
One of the middle-aged men with round rimless eyes and a warm smile was immediately recognized as the great American director Spielberg, and the bearded man who came with him, the sharp-eyed reporter, followed and shouted His name was George Lucas.
They did not say hello to the media before entering like Wang Jing did, but directly entered the hospital under the escort of security guards.
As soon as the two of them entered, someone came from the back, and this time two cars came at once.
Both sides came from different directions, obviously not from the same group. Xu Ke and Shi Nanshu, who got off the bus first, saw that it was Wu Yusen and his wife who got off the opposite car, and they didn't react for a while.
Similarly, Wu Yusen was a little surprised to see Xu Ke.
Of course, with so many reporters around, the two of them would not reminisce about old times here. Although many years have passed since their last collaboration, the two still have a tacit understanding. With just a simple look, each other understood what the other meant.
Without giving reporters any chance to ask questions, the two of them chose to walk straight to the hospital.
The reporter here was still taking pictures of the two people in the background, and two cars arrived at the door at the same time.
Fang Yihua got off the car and frowned when she saw so many reporters gathering at the entrance of the hospital.
The assistant sensibly stood in front of her, blocking most of the photos. At this time, a person also got off the car on the opposite side, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Fang Yihua.
"Miss Fang, what a coincidence?"
He Guanchang did not enter the hospital immediately, but walked towards Fang Yihua.
"Is this a coincidence? Mr. He must have come here for the same purpose as me. Please invite me first!" Fang Yihua made it clear that she did not want to enter the hospital with He Guanchang and would rather wait a little longer.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." He Guanchang cupped his hands towards Fang Yihua and turned around to enter the hospital.
After being separated from He Guanchang, Fang Yihua also entered the hospital and also did not accept any interviews from reporters.
Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers took the lead, and soon various film studios in the Hong Kong film industryRepresentatives of the company arrived one after another
Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, Wu Siyuan, Deng Guangrong until later, the reporters were a little numb. They just pressed the camera shutter mechanically and took pictures of every visitor who entered the hospital to visit.
These people arrived one after another as if they had made an appointment. They were either film company bosses or long-established directors, and the order was orderly.
Everyone knows about Youlun Lam's status and influence in the Hong Kong film industry, but ordinary people have always lacked a clear and specific understanding of this, including many reporters at the scene. Until today, so many big names in the industry have come to the hospital to visit , everyone has the most intuitive understanding of this issue.
