Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 28 Good News

He has been in this business for so many years.

This is the first time I've seen a singer who can handle various styles so skillfully.

More importantly, he wrote the lyrics, composed the music and arranged the music.

"Elvis and the Beatles abroad, at his age, they're probably no better than this, right?"

“Such singers must be held on to tightly!”

Xie Kun made a fist-clenching gesture, "The important task of China Records defeating Yangcheng Pacific depends on him!

After receiving the thick stack of bills, Huang Ze worked diligently until half past eleven before he got off work and went home.

Huang Ze shivered when the evening breeze blew.

To be honest, if it were the future, I wouldn’t be worried no matter how much money I had on me.

How much more can you carry?

But with these eight thousand yuan, Huang Ze still felt a little guilty.

This is the salary of an ordinary worker in Shanghai for more than ten years!
Yes, although crimes have been curbed now, there are not many stubborn people left.

But as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.

Without courage, how can there be production?

Who knows if you might run into a young man who values ​​money more than his life?
If he was only after money, it would be fine. The last thing I would worry about is money. But I am afraid that he would kill me!
In this era, there have been cases where family members of celebrities have been killed for money.

Huang Ze used all his strength and rode back home like the wind. He put the pile of banknotes away, then he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed.

……

In the following days, Huang Ze basically spent his time between three points: home, factory, and China Record Corporation.

Oh, and I went to the train station twice in between.

One time was when I sent Gong Xing to Quancheng by train to attend the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony held on June 6 this year.

Once, I picked her up.

After leaving the train station, Gong Xing couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he saw Huang Ze wearing sunglasses. His face was as bright as a flower.

There is a feeling of being high-spirited.

"What do you mean?" Huang Ze took the box from Gong Xing and patted it. "Are the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers trophies in it?"

"How did you know?"

"Do you even need to guess?" Huang Ze smiled. "I told you before you left that the two Best Actress awards must go to you. You didn't believe it."

"You are just a blind cat that has caught a dead mouse."

"If you say so, there's nothing I can do."

"Actually, I really know it!" Huang Ze shook his head and took Gong Xing to take a taxi.

In Shanghai right now, the most common taxis are still the green turtle ones.

In fact, it just has three wheels and a black plastic canopy. In later generations, it might be collectively called "Laotoule", or even worse than Laotoule.

It was also Huang Ze’s first time to ride on it.

Then I discovered a truth.

No matter when and where, taxi drivers are always speeding, for fear of flying too low.

When turning, Huang Ze could even feel that one of its wheels had left the ground.

After driving fast all the way, they returned to Gong Xing's house in a short while.

After getting out of the car and stepping on the ground, Gong Xing took the box from Huang Ze, found a clean place, opened it, and took out two golden objects from it.

One is in the shape of a big golden rooster, and the other is in the shape of a woman holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Hey, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, all here!"

Gong Xing held one in each hand and handed them over with a smile, "Touch them first to get some good luck. I think you will definitely win a Golden Rooster Award in a few years."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it really feels good!" Huang Ze said with emotion after touching it, "When I get the Golden Rooster, I will give it to you to touch."

"Okay!" Gong Xing took back the trophy with a smile, stuffed it into the box, and then found a photo and said, "I want to keep the trophy and can't give it to you. This photo was taken after I won the award. You can keep it." "Okay." Huang Ze took the photo and looked down.

"Why are there three people up there?"

This photo seems to have been taken in front of a mountain, with a pool of water behind it.

Gong Xing is dressed in white, with a hundred flowers in his right hand and a golden rooster in his left hand, and two well-known actors are beside him.

One is Siqin Gaowa, and the other is a fellow Shanghai native who often played the role of evil mother-in-law in later generations, the young and talented Pan Hong at this time.

"It's such a great sense of accomplishment to hold the trophy between the two of them!" Gong Xing revealed his little thoughts.

"Why don't you congratulate me?"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Huang Ze couldn't help but want to hit the other party after congratulating him, "Go show off to Zhang Yu."

"I think you're teasing me on purpose."

Gong Xing glared at Huang Ze with a smile, "She is the first person to win both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. How can I compare to her?"

After saying this, Gong Xing felt a little melancholy.

"We have too many talented actresses in our studio!"

"There are five Golden Rooster Award winners, including me. I can only rank third in the factory, with Zhang Yu and Pan Hong ahead of me."

"There are seven Best Actresses at the Hundred Flowers Awards: Zhu Xijuan, Chen Chong, and Zhang Yu. I'm already fourth in line."

"Don't you think it's a little worthless?"

"Hey, Huang Ze, when you become a director, take me to get a few more. I can't surpass them in terms of order, so let's try to surpass them in quantity."

"No problem!" People in love dare to agree to anything.

You dare not agree to let me win an Oscar even if you ask me to.

We’ll talk about whether it can be completed or not.

It's just a joke anyway.

"Okay, I'll wait!" Gong Xing packed up his suitcase with a smile, and suddenly remembered something, "Hey, didn't Director Xu promise you to recommend "The Spring of the Underachiever" to that foreigner named Ma? How's it going?"

"No news yet, but I think it will be no problem to enter the main competition unit!"

Huang Ze believes in the quality of this film.

Moreover, the three major European countries now also want to absorb China, which has begun to open up, and expand their influence. After all, they account for more than 20% of the world's population.

Even if the economy is not that good, they have no reason to let it go.

Besides, there is Marco Muller, an Italian filmmaker who studied in the country.

There are so many good things!

To sum up, damn it, no matter what, the advantage is on my side!
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!" Gong Xing smiled, waved his hand, and walked back home with his box.

……

In fact, although he said he was confident about the film, Huang Ze was still a little worried before the results came out.

After all, it was shot in a different country and in a different year, so no one can be sure.

If "Spring of the Underachievers" doesn't work.

Oh my god, it might affect my career!

After finishing the new album and having some free time, Huang Ze began to become more and more worried.

It's only two days of worrying.

Factory Director Xu Shangchu sent someone to call Bai Cheng and Huang Ze to his office.

After seeing the two people, he didn't hide the smile on his face at all, and stood up laughing.

"I just got the news too."

“The Spring of Underachievers has entered the main competition unit of Venice Film Festival!”

"Congratulations! This is the first time that a film from our country has entered the main competition unit of Venice."
