Chapter 52 Spring Festival Gala and Melon Ripening
Zheng Donghan's words were not only a reminder, but also a warning.
For example, if someone around you makes a lot of money, you may be jealous and sometimes make things difficult for him, but it is difficult to regard him as an enemy.
But if you contribute money and effort to help him make a lot of money, and he kicks you away when he makes a lot of money, you will definitely think that he repays kindness with enmity and turn against him.
You won't remember that he helped you earn twice as much money to repay your kindness, and you won't remember that he doesn't owe you anything anymore. As long as he continues to earn in the future, the more he earns, the greater the hatred.
That's how human nature is.
If Liu Hao ditches Huayi Brothers and goes it alone, he will definitely attract the hatred of Huayi Brothers, and the hatred will get deeper and deeper.
And now PolyGram has entered the game. If I choose to go it alone, my enemies will not be one, but two.
Huayi Brothers and PolyGram, do you have the strength to compete with them?
Obviously not.
Although he has released two albums and is very popular, and is on the verge of becoming the king of pop in mainland China, his rise to fame was too short and he has no foundation at all.
Although there is Wahaha behind it, or there is favor from above.
I and Wahaha are just partners. Maybe we are in the honeymoon period now, but when I encounter any difficult problems, based on the calculation, Wahaha is more likely to cut off the business and give up on myself.
As for the above, he is optimistic about you or gives you secret support, and makes some conveniences, but you must understand that he gives you some support in the hope that you can grow into a business card for him, not that you have caused some trouble and asked him to help.
solve.
When you encounter trouble, you still have to find a way to solve it yourself.
When you are strong enough, you don't have to worry about how many enemies you have. When you are weak, you have to cut your flesh and share your profits to find allies.
There is another meaning in Zheng Donghan's words. With the help of Polygram and Huayi Brothers, they have the ability to help Liu Hao make the cake bigger. After the cake is bigger, even if part of the cake is cut out, the rest may not be smaller than the original one.
Liu Hao's share may be much more than before.
In order to safeguard their interests, if they have problems, they will do their best to help them solve them. They do have stronger abilities in this regard.
If you help them make a lot of money, they will compensate themselves in other ways.
Furthermore, since I chose to part ways with Rolling Stone Records, I had to choose a new partner, and PolyGram was a very good choice.
Unity will benefit both parties, and division will cause two harms. People should not be too arrogant.
Between a toast and a penalty drink, Liu Hao would still choose to toast.
"As long as you agree to stay with the company, Huayi Brothers has prepared a gift for you. They have invested in a blockbuster film directed by Chen Kaige and won you a role."
Zheng Donghan continued to smile and said: "Of course, we at PolyGram are not stingy. Since you are interested in acting, we will help you contact the Hong Kong circle and help you win roles..."
Although Hong Kong films have begun to fade away, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Mainland audiences still accept this trick, and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have more appeal.
From the information he learned from later generations, although Liu Hao didn't have a good impression of Hong Kong circles, he would still take advantage of the situation if he could.
Liu Hao suddenly spoke and asked curiously: "What blockbuster film is directed by Brother Chen Kai?"
In Liu Hao's impression, after filming "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Kai didn't seem to have any outstanding works. Yuanyuan's "Search" was barely considered one.
After hearing Liu Hao's reply, Zheng Donghan understood that Liu Hao had basically been persuaded and agreed, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
""Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin""
"???" Liu Hao had a question mark on his face. This movie seemed to have little box office, and asked again: "What role did Huayi Brothers win for me?"
"Lao Du!"
"…….."
….
Negotiations did not happen overnight. Although the first conversation was inconclusive, Liu Hao expressed his intention to agree, and Zheng Donghan left with satisfaction.
Now it was Polygram and Huayi Brothers who were asking for something from themselves. If they delayed, they could gain more benefits for themselves, so Liu Hao did not agree immediately.
The negotiations with PolyGram were left to Wang Jinghua for help, while Liu Hao had more important things to do.
Spring Festival Gala!
In the days leading up to the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Hao stopped almost all the work he was doing to recharge his batteries.
"I can't believe I actually got to go to the Spring Festival Gala. Do you know how jealous they are of me, hahaha..."
On the way to CCTV, Liu's mother kept chattering excitedly in the car.
Liu Hao secured several audience seats for the Spring Festival Gala, which was considered as a way for his mother to achieve her wish.
"My good son!" He was so excited that he couldn't help but kiss Liu Hao on the forehead.
Liu's mother put on makeup specially, and soon Liu Hao's forehead was dotted with strawberries.
"Forget it, Mom, don't wipe it off. I'll still put on makeup backstage after I go in." Liu Hao said helplessly as he watched his mother wipe the strawberry on her forehead in a panic.
"What's wrong with you? You got stamped, haha!" As soon as I arrived at the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, I was greeted by hearty laughter.
Liu Huan, Liu Hao and he had already met each other during several Spring Festival Gala rehearsals. They had similar interests and quickly became good friends.
Of course, Liu Hao also made other friends.
"This is my mother's first time, she is so excited..." Liu Hao explained helplessly and asked the makeup artist to put makeup on him.
One after another, people greeted Liu Hao.
The closer to the opening of the Spring Festival Gala, the more nervous Liu Hao became, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.
"Don't be too nervous, just treat it like a rehearsal." Before going on stage, Liu Huan patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Tian Zhen, who was like a close sister beside her, also encouraged Liu Hao. After all, she sang "Clang Rose" composed by Liu Hao, which made her even more famous. She had dealt with Liu Hao several times before the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and they were old acquaintances.
But can you not be nervous? Liu Hao has never even held a concert. At most, he has sung in front of more than a thousand people at book signings. But this time it was at the Spring Festival Gala, where he performed in front of hundreds of millions of people!
The second program of the Spring Festival Gala was Liu Huan and Jiang Zhongyi's "Hand in Hand, Heart to Heart". I watched Feng Gong and Liu Qun's sketch "The World of Two People" and waited for Xiao Lin and Li Guosheng's cross talk segment "Sending Spring Festival Couplets"
, the next program is Liu Hao singing "Gong Xi Fa Cai".
"Brave Niuniu (Liu Liu), not afraid of difficulties!"
Liu Hao chanted Liu Hao's words of encouragement to himself in his heart, and took a deep breath. Under the warm-up of the host and the applause of the audience, Liu Hao held his head high and walked towards the stage that attracted everyone's attention.
"This is the stage I want!"
When Liu Hao actually stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, his heart was surging, his nervousness disappeared completely, and he became more and more confident.
As if he was born for the stage, he lifts his weight with ease.
"I congratulate you on getting rich
I congratulate you on your wonderful
The best please come
If it's not good, please go away
People do not blame…."
Backstage, Liu Huan nodded and said to Tian Zhen: "He is more confident and better than we thought..."
In Tangshan, Gao Yuanyuan went back to her hometown with her parents to celebrate the New Year this year. The whole family, old and young, got together, and it was so lively.
This year's Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV. When she saw Liu Hao appearing on the TV, Gao Yuanyuan danced with her hands and feet excitedly, as if she was the one singing on the TV.
She happily pulled her grandpa to sing along with Liu Hao. Gao Mu, who was beside her, smiled and whispered a few words into grandma's ear. Grandma looked at Gao Yuanyuan with a kind smile of approval on her face.
"Let me tell you, you two were reluctant to accompany me to watch the Spring Festival Gala before. Why are you so enthusiastic this year?" At home in Jingzhou, Zeng's mother looked at her two daughters with confusion on her face.
Turning around, he saw Liu Hao singing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" on the TV, and praised: "This program is good. Those who celebrate the New Year should listen to this kind of festive song..."
Zeng Li squeezed Zeng Xiaomei's arm tightly, but Zeng Xiaomei's face was red and she felt uncomfortable.
At the end of the concert, in the finale before the bell turned, Liu Hao appeared again and sang "1997 AD" with the stars.
Zeng Xiaomei couldn't hold it in anymore, pointed at Liu Hao and shouted: "Mom, you don't know, he is my sister..."
Before the word "husband" could be uttered, Zeng Li blocked her mouth. Zeng Li awkwardly answered, "He is my classmate..."
Zeng's mother immediately noticed something strange about Zeng Li, and she suddenly realized it. Her smile became even brighter without breaking it, and she turned to look at Liu Hao on the TV.
"Not bad! He's a nice boy..."
….
The perfect performance in the Spring Festival Gala made Liu Hao famous, and invitations to commercial performances and various announcements came one after another.
And the appearance fees are getting more and more outrageous.
After a short reunion with my family for a day at home, various commercial show announcements were made non-stop under Wang Jinghua's plan. It was a pleasure to earn more than 2 yuan from less than ten commercial shows in more than a week.
Isn’t this easier than working hard to release an album and work hard to promote it, and the money will come quickly?
Of course, Liu Hao has not been blinded by money yet, he understands what is fundamental.
On February 17, Liu Hao's nineteenth birthday, Liu Hao boarded a plane to Hong Kong City.
In a hospital in Beijing, things are going well.
He was sweating profusely and his face was a little pale. He took it tremblingly and carefully. Looking at the wrinkled little guy in his arms, his face was filled with happiness after feeling reassured.
"I didn't expect you, little guy, to have the same birthday as him..."
…
When you are far away from your homeland, you will always miss your old friends in your heart.
On the plane, looking out the window at the incomplete moon in the dark night, the first thing Liu Hao thought of today was not Gao Yuanyuan or Zeng Li.
But Yu Feihong.
In the evening of that day, when he put her on the plane to the United States, when she said those words to him coolly, the love between the two seemed to enter into an eternal night.
"Perhaps we should be as cool as she is and regard this mistake that shouldn't have happened as a beautiful memory between each other and not be obsessed with it."
Slowly she seemed to be forgetting. When he learned that she would return to China and make a movie with him, Liu Hao's heart was in turmoil again.
“Talking to the Moon
Talk to the moon
Try to get to You
I want to use this to get closer to you
In hopes of your oalkioo
How I wish you on the other end could talk to me again.
Oh Am I a fool, Who sits alone
Maybe I'm a fool, sitting alone
Talking to the moon…..
A fool who talks to the moon..."
He couldn't help but hum in a low voice the song of the apocalypse just now, as if he was talking to the incomplete moon, and his thoughts drifted to her on the other side.
