285: Wedding party at Zhongyu Cape
After Lingxiang and Li Qinghe finished shooting at Nha Trang Cathedral, the wedding photography agency immediately rushed them to Hon Chong Promontory for another photoshoot.
This place, known as the most romantic spot in northern Nha Trang, gained its reputation because the French film "The Lover" was shot here.
Thus, it has become a must-visit for many couples to check in.
The film "The Lover" is adapted from the famous autobiographical novel by French writer Marguerite Duras, telling the story of her youthful romance with a Dragon Country man.
Whether it's true or false is impossible to verify; it can be considered a romantic period in Duras' memory, blending reality and imagination.
The story takes place during the period when Vietnam was still a French colony.
It tells of an age-gap romance between a 15-year-old French girl and a 32-year-old wealthy Dragon Country man, set in Saigon in 1929.
Incidentally, the male lead was Tony Leung Ka-fai from Hong Kong.
No one at 70 would say they were already old at 18, but the author expressed this feeling in her work, and the director clearly presented this feeling in the film, which is very touching to watch.
The entire film presents the impact of human nature, love, and wealth on life; overall, it's worth watching as an old movie.
Therefore, as one of the film's shooting locations, Hon Chong Promontory became a place to witness romance and love.
Now is the internet age, where all resources can be easily accessed.
On the way to Hon Chong Promontory, Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong took the time to watch clips from the movie.
After watching, Li Qinghe had only one feeling: some loves are beautiful and romantic precisely because they don't end up together.
And watching this movie might not win back your ex, but it might make your ex think you're cultured.
Hon Chong Promontory is a giant rock beach extending from a sandy beach, and all the rocks there are hard granite.
Hon Chong Promontory
The largest rock here is called Five Finger Rock because it has a huge indentation that looks like five fingers pressing down, hence its name.
Perhaps influenced by the film "The Lover."
The Vietnamese, with their somewhat limited imagination, wanted to add another touch of romance to the place.
They wrote a poignant love story for this place, which, of course, the Vietnamese consider very poignant.
The protagonists are a Frenchman and a Vietnamese girl; the Vietnamese girl, having waited for her French lover to return for a long time, stood by the giant rocks on the seashore, gazing into the distance, and over time, pressed a huge pit into the stone.
It's unclear whether this story was meant to please French tourists or if the Vietnamese are still nostalgic for French colonial rule.
However, after seeing the pit, Li Qinghe only had one thought: this Vietnamese girl, isn't she probably a bear?

When Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong came here, there weren't too many tourists.
But besides them, there were three other couples taking wedding photos here.
It made Hon Chong Promontory feel like a wedding photo party.
Because space was limited, the four couples agreed to take turns.
Couples not yet shooting wandered around or watched how others shot to gain experience.
But sometimes, comparing oneself to others is a sad story.
Among the four couples, Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong were undoubtedly the most striking pair.
He was tall and handsome, and she was noble and elegant.
Their outstanding appearance made the other couples look like ugly ducklings.
It almost felt like their servants and maids were also getting married at the wedding of a prince and princess.
In fact, watching Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong's photoshoot caused conflicts between two of the other couples.
They accused each other of not being as tall and handsome or as beautiful and elegant as Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong.
One can only say that Nha Trang's tourism department should place a giant mirror at Hon Chong Promontory.
Sometimes, the absence of a mirror makes it hard for people to see themselves clearly.
However, the quarrels of these couples could not diminish Vu Linh Huong's beauty.
Vu Linh Huong
At this romantic Lover's Promontory, Vu Linh Huong left countless beautiful impressions.
Other tourists visiting here also applauded and offered blessings for the well-matched figures of Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong.
"Qinghe, everyone says we are a perfect match."
The young lady was very happy about the tourists' blessings, elegantly pulling her wedding dress skirt to bow and greet everyone.
This composure and elegance brought another round of applause from many tourists.
Looking at Vu Linh Huong, who was enjoying the applause, Li Qinghe suddenly thought that if he didn't get that certificate in the future, holding a lively wedding should be no problem.
Other women should be fine, but he wondered if Vu Linh Huong's father would send an army to hunt him down.
Li Qinghe vigorously shook his head, shaking these absurd thoughts out of his mind.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Vu Linh Huong held Li Qinghe's arm with great concern.
"No, don't you know how strong I am?"
Li Qinghe teased Vu Linh Huong with a mischievous smile.
"You're so annoying."
Vu Linh Huong playfully pinched Li Qinghe's waist.
The sound of camera shutters filled the air.
It turned out that the chief photographer of the wedding photography agency had already prepared his camera, just waiting to capture their sweet interactions.
What they didn't know was that Li Qinghe's future camera had already set up several split shots around them.
Once today's shoot was over, a romantic blockbuster could immediately be edited.
This thought suddenly sparked an idea in Li Qinghe.
If the actors were excellent and had solid line delivery, without the need for post-production sound editing and line additions.
If Li Qinghe were to form a team to make movies, it would definitely be the most efficient film production team in the world.
Moreover, some angles and shots that are difficult for ordinary people to capture would be no challenge for Li Qinghe.
Li Qinghe could also promote some gimmicks, such as fully hidden camera shooting and multi-angle drone shooting.
This shooting method could extend to many scenarios, such as documentary films.
And exploration of dangerous environments.
This idea made Li Qinghe a little restless.
If he really went through with this, his Qinghe Worry-Free Media would become a highly influential film company in the entertainment industry.
Fast, efficient, and capable of what ordinary people cannot achieve.
And to facilitate future filming abroad, a subsidiary could be registered in Singapore.
He could coincidentally make a trip to Singapore soon, and while seeing his eldest cousin, he could also take care of this matter.
However, talent selection would need to be done slowly.
Vu Linh Huong and Hoang Dang Minh Thu usually have to manage the beauty salon and Qingling Cosmetics Group.
Pham Huyen My needs to busy herself with her influencer career.
Nguyen Thi Linh, Nguyen Thi Trinh, Chau Pham Thuy Anh, Li Mingxing, Li Mingyue, Chen Yuyingqiong, and Le Xuan Mai are all still in their freshman, sophomore, or junior years of study.
They are temporarily unavailable.
The most suitable person around now is Zhang Meiqi; after all, she is already a senior and it's time for her to find a job.
At that time, if she was willing to stay in Saigon, he would set up an office for her in Saigon.
If she was willing to go to Singapore, he would set up an office for her in Singapore.
Anyway, there's no rush to do anything; slowly trying out industries of interest is also a joy in life.
Standing beside Vu Linh Huong, Li Qinghe made a simple small plan for the future.
