Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 117 Charity Project, Joining the Musicians Association
For Zhou Ziheng, returning to his hometown is indeed a great experience.

Fellow villagers, relatives and friends all came to visit in droves.

However, there are also many troubles.

Now, everyone knows that Zhou Ziheng is a big star. He often appears on TV and knows many high-ranking officials and big bosses.

As we all know, there is a saying among Chinese people that if one person achieves success, all his relatives and friends will benefit from it.

Now that Zhou Ziheng has become successful, these relatives and friends naturally want to rely on him to become successful too.

And this is exactly what Zhou Ziheng is worried about.

Since Zhou Ziheng returned to Dongguan, a large number of uncles and aunts come to his door every day carrying things.

Some of them wanted Zhou Ziheng to help their children find a good job.

Some just wanted Zhou Ziheng to help them get rich.

What's more, after knowing that Zhou Ziheng knew many people in the officialdom and had connections in Hong Kong, they directly wanted Zhou Ziheng to help them make connections.

As for what he wants to do, it's nothing more than taking risks and doing some borderline business.

This kind of business is not uncommon in coastal areas.

Many big bosses in Guangdong started their business with this kind of business.

The original body’s father did this before.

Liang Yaohui has also done this.

Even the family of Mr. Lai, who has been having a hot affair with Yang Yuying recently, does just this and has made their fortune worth tens of billions.

When it is destroyed in the future, it may even reach 50 billion.

Zhou Ziheng would never stick to this thing. After knowing the purpose of those relatives' visit, he immediately persuaded them to leave with a gloomy face.

Considering that if I continue to stay in my hometown, there will definitely be more people coming to visit me.

Therefore, Zhou Ziheng went back to Guangzhou at noon on the second day of the Chinese New Year before the end of the year.

He has been considering going back home less often during the Chinese New Year in the future.

Of course, since it is his hometown after all, Zhou Ziheng cannot just do nothing.

After returning to Guangzhou, he made some plans and decided to donate a school and some money to his hometown for education.

Actually, to be honest, the conditions in his hometown of Dongguan are not bad.

In the mainland at that time, it could definitely be considered a relatively wealthy place.

After all, this is the Pearl River Delta region, where gold is almost everywhere.

The Zhou family clan is located in Hengli Town. Thanks to the advantages of national policies in the past two years, this place has attracted a large number of businessmen to build factories, and the conditions are really not bad.

But after all, it was his original hometown, so Zhou Ziheng still chose to do his part.

In fact, it’s not just Dongguan.

After seeing Leon Lai's charity plan, Zhou Ziheng also made a charity plan for himself.

He planned to use the proceeds from the "Fairy Tale" record to cooperate with the Hope Project to build Hope Primary Schools across the country and provide financial support to poor students.

Zhou Ziheng doesn't intend to do this plan only once.

He plans to cooperate with Project Hope for a long time.

A considerable sum of money is allocated every year to this charity.

In fact, Zhou Ziheng also thought about doing it himself.

But if you think about it carefully, this is simply unrealistic.

He simply doesn't have that much time and energy to do this.

Instead, cooperating with the Hope Project would save Zhou Ziheng a lot of time and energy.

In addition, the Hope Project is a project initiated by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the China Youth Development Foundation.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a national policy.

His joining the call will help Zhou Ziheng accumulate more qualifications and background.

In addition, the Hope Project is actually being run very well.

This project started in 1989 and continued until Zhou Ziheng traveled through time.

At that time, the Hope Project had raised a total of more than 53 billion yuan in donations, sponsored more than 338 million students from financially disadvantaged rural families, and built 15444 Hope Primary Schools.

It is one of the largest charitable projects in the mainland.

……

On the afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year, after Zhou Ziheng returned to Guangzhou, he went to pay New Year's greetings to people he knew and knew as usual. If he really couldn't spare the time, he would prepare gifts specially and arrange for the studio staff to deliver them after they returned to work a few days later.

After visiting Li Guangping, Liu Zhiwen and others, Zhou Ziheng finally came to the last house with gifts.

Well, I plan to eat here today.

Ding Dong!

As the door opened, a pretty woman in her thirties wearing an apron appeared. It was Chen Xiaoqi's wife Liu Xiaoyun.

"Sister-in-law!" This was not the first time Zhou Ziheng came to Chen Xiaoqi's house.

He had come to his house for dinner many times before, and by the way, he also got to know his wife Liu Xiaoyun and his son who was not much younger than Zhou Ziheng.

Chen Xiaoqi is considered a big shot in Guangzhou's entertainment industry.

He is good at writing lyrics, composing music, painting and writing books.

It is not an exaggeration to call him an artist.

Such a man's wife is naturally not a simple one.

Liu Xiaoyun himself is also a highly educated person and currently serves as the editor-in-chief of the supplement of Guangzhou's Modern People Daily.

She also wrote two articles about Zhou Ziheng.

I've read it, Zhou Ziheng found the writing to be surprisingly good.

"Hengzi is here! Come in and sit down!"

Seeing Zhou Ziheng, Liu Xiaoyun smiled and warmly invited him in.

"I came back early from Dongguan today. Thinking that Brother Xiaoqi has taken good care of me, I came to wish him a happy new year."

Zhou Ziheng walked into the room with a smile.

Hand the gift to Liu Xiaoyun.

At this time, Chen Xiaoqi also came to the living room from the house. Seeing Zhou Ziheng carrying a bunch of big and small bags, he immediately complained.

"Come if you want, why bring so many things?"

While saying this, he was moving quickly and opened a box of cigars from the gift.

"Foreign products are just different!" He brought it to his nose and smelled it, then he immediately laughed.

"I asked EMi to get it for me. It's made in the United States."

Zhou Ziheng smiled.

"I watched your performance at the Spring Festival Gala. It was awesome! The song was cheerful, with drums and gongs, and a distinct rhythm. This song will definitely be played on repeat every year during the Chinese New Year.

You can create more songs of this type in the future.

Going to more big parties will only do you good and no harm."

As Chen Xiaoqi was talking, the topic turned to "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

This song is indeed very good, catchy, with perfect melody, and has been praised by many musicians.

Chen Xiaoqi also likes it very much, and he even went to the street to buy a tape this morning.

"I think so too. This in itself can be considered an improvement in qualifications."

Zhou Ziheng nodded in agreement.

That's what he's always thought.

Unless it is necessary, he will generally not refuse to attend some large-scale evening parties in the mainland as long as he is invited.

"By the way, it just so happens that you are here today. I have something I want to discuss with you."

As he was speaking, Chen Xiaoqi suddenly paused and took out an invitation letter from the drawer next to him.

"Comrade Zhou Ziheng, on behalf of the Guangdong Popular Music Research Association, I formally invite you to join and serve as vice president!" Chen Xiaoqi said solemnly.

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng was stunned.

Then he reacted.

The Guangdong Popular Music Research Association will have another name in the future, called the Guangdong Pop Music Association.

It is the first pop music association established in the Mainland.

However, at present, this association is still a private group and has not been officially registered.

"It's my honor!" Zhou Ziheng took the invitation with a smile.

Chen Xiaoqi didn't seem surprised that he agreed, and continued, "Your joining the Guangdong Musicians Association is almost done, and the documents will be issued to you in a while."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Xiaoqi!"

Compared with the Popular Music Association, the Guangdong Musicians Association is what Zhou Ziheng values.

This is a formal organization, and currently Guangdong’s music awards are basically sponsored by this association.

And, most importantly, after becoming a member of the Guangdong Musicians Association, he has become a member of the Chinese Musicians Association.

The importance of this association cannot be overstated.

He is like the Film Association of the future.

For singers, it would be a great honor to be a part of it.

The most important reason why Zhou Ziheng was able to join, in addition to Chen Xiaoqi's recommendation, was that he successfully promoted mainland music to Asia.

Well, his songs are widely circulated in Asia. This is promotion, letting others know that there are people in the mainland who can play music.
