Chapter 57: Ding!
57
Fang Jianhui spent more than ten days on Li's TV, which is rare, and the Fox TV network in the United States involved a lot of money than this, except for a glance at the CEO's information, he basically never intervened.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to Li's TV is that he has the potential to treat Xiangjiang as an old nest, and on the side of the couch, he can't allow others to snore!
During this time, he also found time to travel to the United States. On February 25, Fang Jianhui temporarily withdrew from the affairs of Xiangjiang and came to New York, USA, where he was going to accompany Teresa Teng to attend the 23rd Grammy Awards.
With the hit of the album "Guilty", Teresa Teng and Fang Jianhui received five nominations at this year's Grammys:
AlbumoftheYear - "Guilty"
RecordoftheYear --
Best PopVocal Performance-Female (BestPopVocal Performance-Female)--(Teresa Teng)
Song of the Year --
Best PopDuo/GroupPerformance--(Fang Jianhui, Teng Lijun)
In the end, at the awards ceremony, the first four nominations were all disappointed, and only won the last 'Best Pop Duet/Group' award, although Fang Jianhui felt a little unhappy, but for Teresa Teng and others, it was the best result that was overjoyed.
Shirley conducted Fang Jianhui's various companies to publicize the incident, and Fox Records and Angel Records made a big mention of it, making the sales of "Guilty" boom again.
Angel Records took this opportunity to officially launch Teresa Teng's recorded "Faint Love" to the market, which was released simultaneously in Xiangjiang and Taiwan on March 1.
This album has been pondering since Fang Jianhui handed over the lyrics and songs to Teresa Teng, in addition to communicating with Fang Jianhui about the singing of the song, she also put forward opinions on the song title: Fang Jianhui uses the name of each word as the song title, she thinks this is not good, and it lacks a bit of artistic conception. Claiming to use a sentence in each song to make the song title, such as Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head", Deng Lijun named it "I Wish People Were Long", Li Yu's "Seeing Huan", which was named "Alone in the West Building", etc., after seeing these revised song titles, Fang Jianhui nodded in approval and praised his sister Liyun.
The perfect combination of classical and popular, Eastern and Western art fully demonstrates Teresa Teng's gentle, elegant and dignified temperament, and once again demonstrates Fang Jianhui's outstanding talent. ”
After Teresa Teng and Fang Jianhui swept Europe and the United States with their first collaboration "Guilty", the siblings once again jointly launched the Chinese album "Faint Love", which fully demonstrated their peerless talent and talent. ”
"Outstanding poems that have been inherited for thousands of years, composed with melodies full of traditional charm, and cooperation spanning thousands of years, "Faint Love", a classic, innate. ”
"This song should only be in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times. ”
"A pop-concept album of classical art, with commercial considerations secondary, is one of the bravest and most successful challenges in the Chinese music scene to date. ”
The launch of "A Touch of Love" once again set off a wave of worship for Fang Jianhui among the literary and artistic youths in Xiangjiang and Taiwan, and music critics also praised it. What makes Fang Jianhui even happier is that public opinion has completely changed its attitude towards his 'sister and brother' relationship with Teng Lijun.
In fact, it is also understandable that through the two collaborations between Fang Jianhui and Teresa Teng, everyone can see that it is impossible for them to 'support', 'utilize' and the like, but intimate cooperation and heart attraction. In this way, two people who are in love with the world are together, as long as they are happy, whether they are 'sister and brother', 'couple' or whatever, it doesn't matter, what the world should do is only blessings.

On March 1, Li's TV came to an end, and Fang Jianhui officially started filming "Notting Hill".
This film is about a big star (female) who falls in love with an ordinary person (male), Lin Qingxia plays the role of a high-flying, popular star in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, one day she came to a bookstore on Notting Hill Street in Xiangjiang (fictional), and met the boss Ah Hui (played by Fang Jianhui), who was disappointed in career and love, and the two established a friendship by chance, and finally fell in love, and eventually became a family...
In addition to Fang Jianhui and Lin Qingxia, Shi Tian (as Ah Hui's obscene roommate), Zeng Zhiwei (as a stockbroker), Bai Annie (as Ah Hui's sister), and Wang Jin (as Qingxia's ex-boyfriend) also made cameo roles in the film. Originally, after Fang Jianhui communicated with Lin Qingxia, he wanted to invite Qin Han to make a cameo appearance as this ex-boyfriend, but for some reason, Qin Han refused, so he had no choice but to let Wang Jin go on top.
Lin Qingxia has been getting this script for more than a year, and in addition to pondering it herself, she also asks Fang Jianhui for advice from time to time, basically knowing every scene before filming. And she was originally a big star, and playing a big star this time can be regarded as her true colors.
She has no problem as the female lead, and Fang Jianhui's male lead will not make mistakes, so the progress is very fast.
The last part is the last scene of the film, Fang Jianhui had a selfish attack, brought the crew to Taiwan, invited Lin Qingxia's family, and he wanted to hold a wedding with Lin Qingxia!
After Fang Jianhui had the system, although he enjoyed all the glamorous blessings, he always felt sorry for his women in his heart, at least they couldn't hold a wedding with him in a bright way, although they never expressed it, he always felt guilty. When filming the film this time, he had an idea, and in the name of the plot's needs, he officially held a wedding with Lin Qingxia!
With such a small wedding, at least Lin Qingxia can have an explanation in front of her family. Although Lin Qingxia seemed very calm, Fang Jianhui could see that she was very happy in her heart, and for several days in a row, she showed unusual enthusiasm at night.
The secrecy of the wedding was well done, and there was no rumor from the outside world. Shirley has prepared a coping strategy in advance for this reason, and if it is really poked out by the media, she will prevaricate it for the reason of filming.
After the wedding, the filming continued, and by the end of the month, most of the filming had been completed, but the crew had to stop work for a few days, because Fang Jianhui was going to take Lin Qingxia to the Oscars.

The 53rd Academy Awards, held on March 31, 1981 at the Los Angeles Music Center in California, USA, Fang Jianhui's "The Sixth Sense" received six nominations. They are: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Matt Damon), Best Supporting Actress (Streep), Best Director (Fang Jianhui), Best Original Screenplay (Fang Jianhui), and Best Film Editing (Fang Jianhui).
As early as before the list of nominees was announced, Fang Jianhui's "The Sixth Sense" was tied with David Lynch's "The Elephant Man" and Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull" as the favorites of this year's Oscars. When the nominees came out in January, as expected, David Lynch's "The Elephant Man" and Martin Scorsesese's "Raging Bull" both led the way with eight nominations, followed by Fang Jianhui's "The Sixth Sense" with six nominations.
Although there are a lot of praises from the outside world, Fang Jianhui knows very well that he is estimated to be the life of the Oscar this time, because he has failed in the Golden Globe Awards, which are the vane of the Oscars, so there is definitely no hope for the best picture, best director, etc., and the only hope should be the 'Best Original Screenplay'.
The results of the award confirmed his judgment, all 6 nominations were missed, and the results of 6 mentions and 0 made him smile bitterly. He did not say anything about the result, except for asking Shirley to congratulate the winners on his behalf.
But he doesn't speak, there are a lot of people who speak for him and cry out for him, and the 'Best Picture', 'Best Director' and acting categories just lose, and the opponent "Ordinary People" is really good, but why didn't he even win the 'Best Original Screenplay'? Compared with "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", the gap between the award-winning "Windfall" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is obvious!
Professional film critics all said so, and those ordinary audiences were even more aggrieved for Fang Jianhui, and for a while, the judges of the Academy Awards made bad comments such as antiquity and racial discrimination. Public opinion is surging, and the Oscar officials have to stand up and declare: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences treats all participating films and participants fairly and impartially, and all the films nominated are so good that the judges are difficult to choose.
The voices in the United States that are crying out for him are amazing, and Xiangjiang Taidao and Fang Jianhui are of the same kind of language, so they are even more bitter about the same enemy, and the radio, television, and newspapers are all clearly accusing Oscar, and even escalating to regional and racial disputes.
After Fang Jianhui returned to Xiangjiang, he felt this more effectively, when he continued to shoot "Notting Hill", Zeng Zhiwei, Wang Jin and others from the crew immediately surrounded him and comforted him as soon as they saw him, Fang Jianhui smiled and said, 'No need to do this', 'I'm OK' It's useless, and finally he made a gesture to kick them away, only to scare a few people to run away screaming.
After another ten days, the plot has ended, and there is only one cutscene left: Ah Hui and Qingxia fell out, and the lovelorn Ah Hui spent a year alone. Generally speaking, this kind of only needs everything in the picture, and then a subtitle is enough.
However, Fang Jianhui is very serious here, and he really wants to shoot the feeling of Ah Hui walking through spring, summer, autumn and winter alone. Because of his insistence, the crew built four scenes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and Ah Hui had to walk through it in one shot at once. This is really a bit difficult, and in the end, Fang Jianhui had to compromise and shoot Ah Hui walking through the four scenes separately, and then edit them together.
It took more than three days to take such a shot of more than a minute, but seeing the final effect, Fang Jianhui still felt that it was worth the money. After getting this shot, on April 14, "Notting Hill" was officially completed.
Next, Fang Jianhui also has editing and soundtrack work, because he insists on editing every day of the day's shooting, so the editing workload after the whole film is filmed is very small, and he completed it in one day.
The music of this film is also a highlight, for this reason, Fang Jianhui found his queen singer Deng Lijun, and the two spent four days in the recording studio of Angel Records to record the soundtrack and songs of the movie. After that, Fang Jianhui didn't care, and all departments of his own company were responsible.
Teresa Teng was still on a trip to the United States, and it was not easy to come back to Hong Kong once, so Fang Jianhui did the recording of the album "Physical" together.
He always thought that the scale of "physical" was a bit big, and he was worried that Teresa Teng didn't like to sing, but he didn't expect Teresa Teng to be very happy when she saw it. Afraid that she was pretending, Fang Jianhui confirmed it again and again, only to know that she was really happy, because she has always shown a dignified and elegant image on the stage, and Deng Lijun also wants to try a new image and style, her idea coincides with Fang Jianhui's new album "physical", which makes him secretly happy.
It took another two weeks to complete the recording of "physical", Fang Jianhui did not give up, and pulled Teresa Teng to shoot the MV, the style of the MV is full of emotion, the content is Teresa Teng dressed in sports attire, watching a bunch of fat people working out, and expressing contempt for the fat people's figures. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the fat men turned into handsome guys with great figures, but after becoming handsome guys, they hooked their shoulders in pairs and ignored him, and in the end, it was the handsome guy who Fang Jianhui made a cameo who fell in love with him and hugged her away.
After everything is done, he hands over the album and music video to Fox Records, and he is not involved in charting, promotion, release, and other things.
After finishing the "Notting Hill" movie and the "physical" album, Fang Jianhui's main work this year is only the filming of the "Ghost" movie.
---
The filming of "Human Ghost Love" is not very difficult, there are no complex scenes, and there are not many characters involved, the main characters are the male protagonist, the female protagonist, the male protagonist's friend and murderer, and the black witch, if the personnel are in place, Fang Jianhui can finish filming in less than a month.
But Fang Jianhui is stuck now, stuck in the choice of the heroine, in fact, there are a few European and American actresses who can meet the requirements of acting skills and image, but Fang Jianhui thinks more. This is different from his previous filming of "Home Alone" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", the women in those two dramas are all supporting roles, and the roles are not heavy, even if the movie is successful, it will not help these actresses much.
The box office value of this film is as high as 97, and it is clear that it will be popular all over the world, and the image of the heroine is prominent and the role is heavy, no matter which actress is, after this drama, she will definitely soar to the sky and become a hot star in Hollywood.
He doesn't want to be cheap outsiders for this kind of role, he must find it from his own women, but his existing women are all oriental, which obviously doesn't match the film and can't be used.
He was bent on finding a foreign beauty with the right conditions, the kind that could not only act, but also be signed by him as a girlfriend. But to become his girlfriend, it is not easy, not to mention that her appearance and popularity potential must exceed 90, and she must also be a virgin. In such an open environment in Europe and the United States, the 'virgin' article is especially rare.
Yes, after he was free, he asked Shirley to collect information on European and American female stars for him, it doesn't matter if he is famous or not, the first thing is that he must be beautiful, and then he will sweep them one by one with his discerning eyes.
This news was immediately sent to his big room Zhong Chuhong by the little spy Bai Annie.
Hearing this, Zhong Chuhong pondered for a while: Jianhui was summoning female celebrities alone for a while, and collecting information about foreign women as if he was a beauty pageant. Well, that's it, she made up her mind.
On this day, Fang Jianhui quickly swept the information of more than 50 people sent by Shirley, and was disappointed again, his girlfriend's conditions are indeed harsh, alas, among the three items of these women's appearance, popularity potential and virginity, most of them meet one of them, one or two of them meet the two, and all three of them are accounted for, no.
Don't worry, don't worry, this is a long-term project, Fang Jianhui told himself. Putting the information aside and leaning back in the chair, Shirley cleverly walked to the back of the chair, put his head on her chest, and gave him a head massage.
"Ding!" the system prompt sounded in my head. "Successfully signed a lover Guan Zhilin. Guan Zhilin, No. 5 lover, superior: Zhong Chuhong. ”
Nani! Fang Jianhui was startled.
