Chapter Ninety-Three: Taiqing
As the New Year approaches, the date of TVB's "Thousands of Stars Celebrating Taiwan" has finally arrived.
Since Zheng Yan and Li Yanran participated as spectators, they went directly to the audience, but fortunately, they were in a good position, in the first row.
The hosts of this year's Taiwan celebration are Paul Zhong, Zheng Yuling, Wang Mingquan and Shen Lixia.
After the opening dance, Uncle Shao Liu, as in previous years, accompanied by Li Jiaxin, the champion of this year's Miss Hong Kong, was the first to enter the venue and let the latter take a seat in the viewing seat.
At this time, Li Jiaxin was only 18 years old, although she did not have the peerless elegance that matured a few years later, but her angelic appearance has impressed countless people, and she is known as the most beautiful Hong Kong sister.
After that, under the introduction of the host, various stars appeared separately. Although it is just a simple entrance, the admission methods of the stars are also strange, some people enter with Weiya, some people enter on motorcycles, some people dance dragons, and some people drive in... Of course, the most of them are walking in groups.
After the official performance began, the fun drama has always been an important program of "Thousands of Stars Celebrate the Taiwan Celebration", and Zhou Xingchi, who invited Zheng Yan to participate in the Taiwan Celebration, performed a fun drama with Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing, and Lan Jieying. Although Zhou Xingchi has not yet shown the demeanor of the king of comedy at this time, and several others are also a little young, the humorous performances of several people still brought countless laughs to the audience.
To say that the most impressive thing that night left everyone with was still the singing of his brother Zhang Guorong.
At this time, Zhang Guorong was already under too much pressure because of the two-person competition with Tan Yonglin. If the trajectory of history remains unchanged, Zhang Guorong will temporarily bid farewell to the music scene next year after holding 30 farewell concerts.
The song Zhang Guorong sang tonight is called "Don't Talk", maybe Zhang Guorong already has the intention of retiring in his heart at this time. After singing the whole show, Zhang Guorong was not like other artists who participated in the performance, with a smile on his face all the time.
When Zhang Guorong finished singing, what Zheng Yan didn't expect was that Zhang Guorong took advantage of everyone's inattention and came directly to the place where Zheng Yan and Li Yanran were sitting.
After Zhang Guorong sat down, because the people on the side didn't know Zheng Yan and the two, many people cast strange glances, which made Zheng Yan a little overwhelmed. But Li Yanran, who has lived in Hong Kong City since she was a child, is already familiar with this kind of thing and doesn't care about it at all.
"Yanran, Zheng Yan, why did you two come to participate in tonight's Taiwan celebration?" Zhang Guorong said to Zheng Yan and Li Yanran.
"Our company has just shot a movie, and this time we are here to deal with the release of the film, and the starring role of the movie is Zhou Xingchi, and I was invited by him. It's Brother Rong, why did you get off the stage? You are one of the protagonists tonight. ”
Zheng Yan felt the gaze around him, although he was a little uncomfortable, but it was impossible to drive Zhang Guorong away, right?
Zhang Guorong also saw Zheng Yan sitting on pins and needles, and Zhang Guorong, who had never shown a smile when he sang, suddenly felt a little funny. Although I don't know Zheng Yan very well, I also know that Zheng Yan is worth a lot of money, and Zhang Guorong has always admired Zheng Yan's songwriting ability. I didn't expect Zheng Yan to be at a loss because of the gaze of others.
"You don't have to care about others, you see Yanran doesn't care at all, they're just curious. Zhang Guorong was even more surprised by this situation, and said to Zheng Yan with a smile.
After all, Zheng Yan is a human being in two lives, and it didn't take long for him to adapt to this situation. And one of the purposes of this trip is to invite artists to their opening ceremony, and the more well-known the artist, the more advantageous it is. Today's Zhang Guorong can be described as a real superstar, and there are only three or two people who can be compared with the entire port city. Zheng Yan thought to himself: "Zhang Guorong sent it to the door by himself." ”
"Brother Rong, I came to Hong Kong City this time, in addition to dealing with the company's affairs, there is one more thing. I set up a private club in the mainland, and this time I came here to invite some people to attend the opening ceremony after the year, I don't know if there is such an honor to invite you to participate. ”
In fact, Zhang Guorong has always been yearning for the mainland. Nowadays, the relationship between Hong Kong City and the mainland has always been a relatively sensitive topic, and few people will say it no matter what kind of view they hold. Just like Li Yanran's father, he has always been secretive about this kind of thing. However, Zhang Guorong, a popular artist, publicly stated in an interview that his roots are barely a port city, but the real roots are in the mainland. If there is an opportunity, Zhang Guorong said that he wants to go to the mainland and really find his roots.
Zhang Guorong came over just to say hello to Zheng Yan and Li Yanran, but he didn't expect to receive Zheng Yan's invitation, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Zhang Guorong thought about it for a while, and at this time he already had a plan to retire, but he had not made up his mind for the time being. It is precisely because of this that no arrangements have been made for the next work. Maybe going to the mainland to relax is also a good choice.
"Of course, when it opens, you can notify me directly. I don't have any work schedule for the next year, so I will definitely attend on time. Zhang Guorong said to Zheng Yan.
After Zhang Guorong simply agreed, Zheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he was infinitely happy. A superstar like Zhang Guorong, even if you are willing to pay a lot of money to invite, he may not have time. So Zheng Yan didn't expect that Zhang Guorong would agree so simply.
Zheng Yan originally wanted to negotiate with Zhang Guorong on the issue of appearance fees, but before Zheng Yan could speak, Zhang Guorong wanted to perform on stage again. Zheng Yan thought that since the other party didn't mention it, he would put it down for the time being. For this kind of commercial performance-like activity, the price is not difficult to inquire, and some returns can be given from other aspects in the future.
Zhang Guorong, who appeared on stage again, seemed to be in a much better mood, no longer singing silently alone, but singing and dancing at the same time, and interacting with the artists around him from time to time.
Zheng Yan was also much relieved after Zhang Guorong agreed to his invitation. Zheng Yan believes that even if only Zhang Guorong is an artist to attend at that time, it will add a lot of color to his opening ceremony.
Looking at the next performance, whether it is Chen Baiqiang's singing, or the fun drama starring the stars together, or the drumming performance performed by the wireless old man together, it all makes Zheng Yan's mood very comfortable.
In the end, Uncle Shao Liu presented awards to the winners of the night's performances, while Li Xiaohe and his wife cut the Taiqing cake. The whole stage celebration performance was a successful end.
After the Taiqing ended, Zheng Yan did not stay long, and returned to the villa directly with Li Yanran.
