182 [Social Functions of True Heroes]
The ceremony broadcast program that was originally scheduled to be broadcast on the second day of the awards ceremony was postponed to the third night due to time reasons.
This is the first time that the film awards ceremony has been broadcast by a TV station, and the collective appearance of stars that are usually rare naturally attracted many viewers, making the ratings of China Television rise rapidly.
However, for most ordinary people, they don't care too much about who wins what award, but the programs interspersed with the ceremony make them happy.
Luo Dayou lay on the table, looking at the book like an old monk chanting, looking at it, he threw it aside in annoyance, and played it wildly for a while holding the guitar.
He failed to get into college in the middle of the year, and now he is fighting hard, hoping to be admitted next year.
As for what Wang Zijun said, let Luo Dayou go to Taipei, there is no hope at all, and the family will not let anyone go at all.
After thinking about it, Luo Dayou simply got dressed and went to his best friend's house and asked him to sing in the song hall with him - Luo Dayou formed a band with a few friends this year, and he worked as a keyboardist in it.
"Knock knock......" Luo Dayou knocked on the door and shouted, "Hey, Ajie, let's go sing together." ”
When the door opens, Applejack asks, "Didn't you say you were going to study at home?" ”
"I can't read the book." Luo Dayou said with a bitter face.
Applejack smiled, "Haha, what university are you going to?" Let's just go to Taipei together, I heard that it's easy to become famous for singing there. ”
Luo Dayou shook his head and said, "Forget it, last year I ran to Taipei and was beaten half to death by my father when I came back." ”
"I'm not going to sing tonight, I'm playing the Golden Horse Awards ceremony on TV, and many stars are there." Applejack said.
Luo Dayou said: "What's so good about the award ceremony? Aren't all the results in the newspapers? ”
"Look at the star, I heard that Wang Zijun also sang a new song on it." Applejack excitedly, "I'm just waiting to hear his new song." ”
"Oh? It's true! Luo Dayou also ran over and sat on the sofa.
The awards ceremony on TV has been carried out, and Ajie introduced: "You don't know, Teresa Teng and Liu Jiachang both sang just now. By the way, now that all the singers are running to make movies, Liu Jiachang is actually like Wang Zijun, and he went to be a director. ”
Luo Dayou said: "Maybe being a director is more profitable than singing." ”
Ajie said: "You said that one day we would be like Wang Zijun and Liu Jiachang, singing and making movies, how good it would be." The most important thing is that you can also meet many female stars. ”
"Huh." Luo Dayou chuckled, "The last sentence is true." ”
Applejack smiled awkwardly, and suddenly pointed to the TV and said, "Come out, Wang Zijun is on stage, and there is also the Shining Band." ”
Luo Dayou also shifted his attention to the TV screen.
Ajie exclaimed: "Look at Wang Zijun, this is called a real superstar." I never deliberately dress up on stage, I go up in an ordinary suit, and I am handsome at any beckon. ”
"Shh Luo Dayou raised his fingers to silence him.
At this time, Wang Zijun had already begun to sing on TV:
"In my heart, there was a dream that I wanted to make you forget all the pain with my singing......"
"Good on time!" After listening to a song, Applejack clapps her thigh and shouts, picks up her guitar and starts playing the melody inside, only to play it and forget about it.
"Hey, do you remember the lyrics?" Applejack said, "If we go to the cabaret tomorrow and sing this song, it's going to be a hit." ”
Luo Dayou looked at him and asked, "Ajie, do you want to be famous?" ”
"Yes, of course." Applejack blurted out.
"If you want to be famous, don't blindly sing other people's songs, we must insist on singing our own." Luo Dayou said.
Applejack said angrily, "I still want to sing my own, but every time I sing a song we wrote, the people in the cabaret don't react at all." ”
"Then keep singing." Luo Dayou fell on the sofa with his arms on his pillow, and he had only recently figured out what he had just said.
Why not sing your own song?
Like Luo Dayou and Ajie, many of Wang Zijun's fans sat in front of the TV and listened to the song at this time. If there is a Weibo in this era, it is estimated that the topic of "True Hero" has been blown up.
The reason is just the hunger in the market caused by Wang Zijun's lack of Chinese records for a year, and many fans have to wait to scold their mother. Although most of the soundtrack records of "Good Morning Taipei" were sung by Wang Zijun, the songs in it can only be regarded as average regardless of the lyrics and songs, and they do not meet the needs of fans.
This time, as soon as "True Hero" came out, it immediately detonated the Taiwanese music scene.
And Zheng Zhenkun forcibly pulled Wang Zijun into the recording studio, ready to send him a single.
A week later, the single was not yet on the market, but "True Hero" appeared in the song lists of several radio stations in Taipei. As a result, every time the song was ordered, ten people called in, and more than half of them ordered the song.
The main thing is that this song is too suitable for blessing relatives and friends.
Just like the Good Morning Taipei program that Lin Fengjiao is now hosting.
"Hey, hello, I'm Suki." Lin Fengjiao picked up the phone, "It's radio on-demand time, what do you call it?" ”
"My surname is Du."
"Hello Mr. Du, what song do you order?"
"I wanted 'True Hero' to give to my son, who had failed in business. I want to use this song to encourage him, how to see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain! Son, you are the best. You have to cheer up, it doesn't matter if you lose all the money, it's okay if you sleep on the road, dad, don't think about it, let's do it again, one day, you will succeed......"
"Okay, just now a gentleman surnamed Du called to order "True Hero" for his son, we are here to bless Mr. Du and his son, and hope that their wishes will come true." Lin Fengjiao's eyes were wet, since she became a radio anchor, she often encountered such touching things.
On the streets of Taipei, there sat a middle-aged man who looked unruly and unbearable, who had been sitting on the side of the road all night, thinking about going to death several times, and then looked back at the store. Singing was already ringing on the radio there: "How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, no one can succeed casually......"
"Wow...... this young middle-aged man suddenly cried loudly on the street, and for a long time, he ignored the crowd's onlookers, wiped away his tears, and went to the street to look for a job.
In the ordinary world, all kinds of not-so-ordinary things are happening all the time.
Wang Zijun didn't expect his song to have such power, and after recording the song, he continued to be busy looking for actors, because even the actor has not yet been determined. Looking around, he finally locked his eyes on the middle-aged actor Sun Yue.
The heroine of "If the Wine Sells Nothing" is played by Lin Qingxia, which Wang Zijun promised her earlier. And Ami's boyfriend is naturally played by Wang Zijun, anyway, there are not many roles in this role.
And the real male protagonist of the movie is Ami's adoptive father - a rag old man who was injured on the battlefield and turned mute.
After thinking about it, Wang Zijun finally felt that the actors in the original work should be played, but there was no way, Sun Yue played this role too well, and even won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
You must know that Sun Yue won the Golden Horse Award for leading actor, but ten years later, countless big names competed, and it was much more difficult than now.
And Sun Yue is now in his forties, which is exactly the age of the protagonist when he appeared in the play, and he put on makeup when he played the old age later in the film.
When asked about Bai Muyang, Wang Zijun knew that Sun Yue was a signed actor of Taiwan TV at this time, which made Wang Zijun a little helpless.
Last time, I helped China Television use "Shanghai Tang", but I offended Taiwan Television very badly, and I don't know if the other party is willing to let him go.
Wang Zijun went to Sun Yue privately first and showed him the script.
"If the Wine Sells Nothing" is a film that still makes people cry after decades, and its script has been constantly revised by Wang Zijun, which is more sensational than the original one.
Sun Yue is now a super second-rate actor in Taiwan, famous and has a good income, but he has always played the villain. If a famous villain actor in this era wants to turn over, he will fail in ten times. Therefore, after reading the script, Sun Yue was so excited that he wanted to hit the wall, and asked with a trembling voice: "Do you really want me to play a positive character?" ”
"Yes, a positive character with affection, righteousness and love is still the protagonist. I don't know if Mr. Sun is willing? Wang Zijun asked.
"Yes, of course." Sun Yue nodded hurriedly, even if Wang Zijun didn't look for him, he would agree with this excellent script and positive role. However, Sun Yue quickly said a little embarrassed, "But I have a contract with Taiwan TV, and I must be agreed by them." I'm afraid ......"
Obviously, Sun Yue also knows that many people in Taiwan Television are unhappy with China Television now, and they even hate Wang Zijun together.
"I'll figure this out." Wang Zijun said.
"That's okay, as long as Director Wang can convince the leaders of Taiwan TV, I'm completely fine here." Sun Yue said.
Wang Zijun said goodbye to Sun Yue, and did not immediately go to the top management of Taiwan TV, but carried a bottle of wine to visit Wang Hongjun, director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau (at this time, the counseling and management business of Taiwan's mass communication industry was scattered among the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Education and other relevant institutions, of which the Cultural Bureau under the Ministry of Education accounted for the majority. It will not be until August next year that the functions and powers of managing publishing, film, film and television will be transferred to the Information Bureau.)
It was Wang Hongjun's wife who opened the door, and Wang Zijun hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie, hello, I'm looking for Uncle Wang." ”
Thinking that there are often people who give gifts to ask for errands, Wang Hongjun's wife didn't want Wang Zijun to go in, but when she heard him call him uncle and aunt, she couldn't tell who he was, so she hesitated there for a while, and finally let Wang Zijun in.
Wang Hongjun was watching the news in the living room, and when he saw Wang Zijun coming in, he scolded with a smile: "You little ghost, you have been deceived into the door." ”
When Wang Hongjun's wife heard this, she put her mind at ease, took Wang Zijun's gift and said politely: "Come here, why bother to buy things." ”
"I am a junior, and it is appropriate to honor the two elders." Wang Zijun beat the snake and put the stick, so he had to take advantage of the fact that everyone was surnamed Wang to get closer.
Of course, this is mainly covered by Jiang Jingguo, otherwise if someone else is changed, if they pull the relationship as soon as they come, they will have to be driven out of the door by Wang Hongjun.
Wang Hongjun said to his wife: "This is Xiao Wang." ”
"Xiao Wang hasn't eaten dinner yet, has he?"
"No, I don't. Auntie, I'm here to eat today. Wang Zijun was not polite.
"Then I'll go add two dishes, usually there is no one at home, it's rare to be lively today." Wang Hongjun's wife seemed to be very happy and went to the kitchen again.
Wang Hongjun then said: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”
Wang Zijun smiled dryly: "I plan to make a movie next year." ”
"Oh, what's the content? Don't have unhealthy thoughts. Wang Hongjun said.
Wang Zijun said the general content of the film, Wang Hongjun nodded and said: "I can watch this movie, now the economy of the Republic of China is improving, everyone is busy making money, and many people have forgotten loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness." You have to shoot it well. ”
"That's right, that's also cooperating with the work of the Cultural Affairs Bureau." Wang Zijun said, showing an embarrassed expression, "It's just that the actor of this actor is a little difficult to handle, I chose an actor from Taiwan TV, I'm afraid that I won't let people go over there......"
"That's easy to say...... Hey, no," Wang Hongjun came back to his senses, "I remember, some time ago, China Television robbed a lot of viewers from Taiwan TV, it seems that you are the ghost." ”
Wang Zijun spread his hands and said: "How can I have that ability, it is all managed properly by Chairman Liu Xianyun." ”
Wang Hongjun pointed at Wang Zijun and said with a smile: "You should be modest, other TV has always maintained the highest ratings of the three stations, and Shengsheng was dragged down by your "Shanghai Tang". I've heard that those shows have your ideas too. ”
Wang Zijun hurriedly shouted injustice.
Wang Hongjun thought for a while and said: "That's it, I'll ask their boss out for a meal another day, and you can talk about anything by yourself when the time comes." ”
"Thank you so much, Uncle Wang." Wang Zijun hurriedly said.
Wang Hongjun scolded with a smile: "If I have a nephew like you, I will be calculated by you all day long, and I am afraid that sooner or later I will be remembered for something." ”
With Wang Hongjun's help, things are much easier. After a meal, Wang Zijun deliberately pulled the relationship, and sacrificed his life to accompany the wine, and finally coaxed the boss of Taiwan TV to be happy, and the actor was about to arrive.
By the time the affairs of the actors were arranged, January 1973 had passed, and the New Year was about to begin.
In his hometown, because Wang Xianzhi refused to move out, Wang Zijun discussed with his brothers and sisters, and finally decided to tear down the original house and rebuild a building in the same place.
During the construction of the house, the old man was also taken to the eldest brother's house.
Wang Zijun wanted his father to live in the house he bought for a while, but Wang Xianzhi blew his beard and glared and said, "Let's wait until you give birth to a grandson." ”
Wang Zijun immediately pulled Lin Qingxia to squat in the corner of the wall and draw circles.
Sister Wang Ziyun and Lin Qingxia's eldest brother Lin Chengsen is preparing to get married, and now the new house has been bought and is being decorated, not far from Wang Zijun's house.
Lin Qingxia and Lin Lixia have changed their words to call Wang Ziyun their sister-in-law, and the three women are glued together all day long to discuss the layout of the new house, and the word "Xi" is pasted everywhere.
"That, brother-in-law." Wang Zijun and Lin Chengsen sat in the living room, and Wang Zijun handed over a cigarette.
Lin Chengsen was also a little embarrassed, Wang Zijun introduced him to the instant noodle company at the beginning, but now he has both people and money, and he has married his sister.
"How's the food company?" Wang Zijun couldn't find a topic, so he could only discuss business.
"Not bad, our sales network has covered the whole of Taiwan, and we are ready to enter Hong Kong next summer." Lin Chengsen said.
Wang Zijun hurriedly persuaded: "Don't, don't move within two years, and consolidate the Taiwan market first." ”
"Why?" Lin Chengsen asked.
"You'll find out when you look at the price of raw materials in the summer." Wang Zijun said.
