Nie Er took out the full scores of the four songs and said, "Mr. Zhou, please take a look. The arrangement has been completed. I have also contacted the accompaniment band and can record it at any time."
Zhou Hexuan didn't read the full score of the song at all. He didn't understand it well anyway, so he smiled and said: "Then tomorrow, I hope I can finish recording it early."
"Then it's settled, the recording will start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Nie Er suddenly took out a few more movie tickets, "Mr. Zhou, this is a movie starring my friend. I hope you can go and support it on the premiere day."
Zhou Hexuan took it and saw that it was a movie ticket for "Yu Guang Qu". He immediately said: "No problem, I will definitely go then."
"Fishing Lights", one of the masterpieces of Chinese films in the 1930s, broke many records: the first film in the history of Chinese films to be sponsored by advertising, the first film to win international awards, the first to be sold and screened across Europe
Quan's film set a record of being screened for 84 consecutive days and set a sales record of soundtrack albums (more than 100,000 copies)...
There are many behind-the-scenes stories about this movie. For example, when it was first released, the response was not strong. A second-generation rich man in Shanghai felt that the film could be comparable to first-class foreign films, so he spent his own money to advertise "Yu Guang Qu". The advertisement was published by
"The News" was extremely expensive, and the advertisement consumed two pages. Each of the three words "Yu Guang Qu" was as big as a telephone.
There is also Wang Renmei, the heroine of "Fishing Lights". She suddenly announced her marriage during the filming and was immediately terminated from her contract by Lianhua Pictures. The reason was that once an actress gets married, the number of fans who pursue her will be greatly reduced. After Wang Renmei was terminated, there was no
He left immediately and insisted on finishing "Yu Guang Qu" without taking any pay.
Whether it is the rich second-generation movie fans or the heroine Wang Renmei, their deeds are so amazing that they would never be seen in a few decades.
As for the friend Nie Er mentioned, it was Wang Renmei.
Nie Er was about to leave when a servant suddenly came in and announced: "Sir, Mr. Xu Shenru and Ms. Lu Xiaoman are here. Do you want to see them?"
"Invite them in." Zhou Hexuan felt a little puzzled. Xu Shenru and Lu Xiaoman couldn't stand each other, so why did they come together today?
Nie Er cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhou, since we have a distinguished guest coming, I'll leave first."
"Go slowly, I'll see you off." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
As soon as Zhou Hexuan sent Nie Er out of the living room, he bumped into Xu Shenru and Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman said anxiously: "Mingcheng, Zhimo is missing!"
Xu Shenru also rushed to say: "Zhimo left a letter, which mentioned Buddhist verses. It seems that he may want to become a monk."
"A monk?"
Zhou Hexuan suddenly felt guilty. Xu Zhimo probably suddenly had the idea of becoming a monk after reading the "Freedom of History" he brought back. Now that his father and wife came to visit, Zhou Hexuan inevitably felt a little guilty.
Lu Xiaoman said: "Yes, I have called my friends and asked them, and they all said they have not seen Zhimo. Has he been to your place?"
"Zhimo came here yesterday afternoon and said he wanted to lend you a thousand yuan to hold a painting exhibition, but he left after dinner." Zhou Hexuan said truthfully.
Hearing that it was related to Lu Xiaoman again, Xu Shenru couldn't help but glared at her daughter-in-law, and then said: "I sent people to all the major temples in Shanghai to ask, and no one has seen Zhimo. Mingcheng, you are Zhimo's friend,
Where do you think he might go?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "How could I guess that?"
Xu Shenru seemed to have become shorter in an instant. He said dejectedly: "If Zhimo really becomes a monk, what will the Xu family do?"
Poor old Mr. Xu has worked hard for most of his life and built a rich family business, but he only has an only son, Xu Zhimo. Xu Zhimo fell out with the family because of Lu Xiaoman, but Xu Shenru could still accept it with gritted teeth, thinking that his son would one day wake up.
As a result, Xu Zhimo not only became enlightened, but also became so enlightened that he went straight to become a monk!
"Uncle, don't worry first, the most important thing is to find the person." Zhou Hexuan comforted him.
Xu Shenru said with great regret: "I shouldn't have changed his name to Zhimo in the first place. Now it has become a prophecy and he has actually become a monk!"
Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. I'll ask Du Yuesheng, Huang Huangrong and Zhang Xiaolin for help. They are local snakes, so it should be easier to find someone. As for uncle, you go ask colleagues from the Chamber of Commerce for help, and everyone will work separately."
"Okay, okay," Xu Shenru nodded repeatedly, "I will let the newspaper publish a missing person notice. If anyone can provide accurate information, I will give him 50,000 yuan. If I can bring the person back, I will give him 100,000 yuan!"
This is inhumane!
Chiang Kai-shek offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for the capture of a senior Red Army general. This was the highest price offered. By the way, Wang Tieqiao was wanted at this time and fled to Hong Kong by boat. Chang Kaishen's reward for capturing Wang Tieqiao was 1 million.
Zhou Hexuan immediately called and invited Du Yuesheng, Huang Huangrong, and Zhang Xiaolin to dinner, and personally paid 5,000 yuan for the event. They immediately sent their subordinates to look for people everywhere, and with Xu Shenru's newspaper offering a reward, the whole of Shanghai was immediately
Looking for Xu Zhimo.
Major newspapers in Shanghai reported on this incident one after another, and the "Xu Zhimo monk incident" immediately became a popular topic in the streets. The Shanghai literary circle also caught wind of the incident and enthusiastically wrote articles to join the discussion.
Some people compare Xu Zhimo with Li Shutong because both of them are famous literati and monks.
Some people gloated over the misfortune and thought that Xu Zhimo brought it upon himself and should not have abandoned his wife and children in the first place.
Some people directed their fire at Lu Xiaoman and Weng Ruiwu, thinking that this pair of losers made Xu Zhimo lose interest in life, so he chose to be ordained and become a monk.
The incident quickly spread from Shanghai to the whole country and became the hottest topic in June. It actually once again set off a wave of "Xu Zhimo fever". Many young people rushed to buy Xu Zhimo's works and read them.
Money touches people's hearts. After Xu Shenru posted the reward in the newspaper, he received countless messages every day. Some people saw Xu Zhimo appearing in Xujiahui, some saw Xu Zhimo boarding a ship to Japan, and some saw Xu Zhimo taking a train to Suzhou.
, Xu Zhimo was seen heading south to Fujian...
Too much news equals no news, and there is no way to tell which ones are true and which ones are lies.
Xu Zhimo completely disappeared.
Lu Xiaoman seems to have changed. He no longer attends salon parties or dances in dance halls. He just stays at home and smokes opium all day long.
What made Xu Shenru angry was that Weng Ruiwu actually dared to come to seduce his daughter-in-law. He directly paid someone to beat Weng Ruiwu with a stick and had a big quarrel with Lu Xiaoman.
Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to get involved in the family's troubles, so he hurriedly hid at EMI Records to record songs.
