"I've eaten and drunk enough. I have something to tell you and would like to ask for your opinions." After the meal, Zhang Qiurui said solemnly to Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Cheng Kaige, Xie Xiaojin, Zhang Huijun, Gu Changwei, Li Shaohong, Hu Mei, Peng Xiaolian, and Liu Miaomiao.
"Qiurui, you speak, we are all listening." Zhang Yimou saw Zhang Qiurui speaking to them so seriously, and their expressions also became serious.
"When I was in Cannes before, I met Jiang Zhiqiang, the head of Hong Kong's Edko Films. He recommended me to Golden Harvest Films in Hong Kong to participate in film shooting and to intern and practice in various crews.
I've also talked to Teacher Situ and the others about this, and they're not opposed to it; on the contrary, they're very supportive. I want to take some people to Hong Kong, and who among you would like to go with me?" Zhang Qiurui cut to the chase.
"When are we going to Hong Kong?" Zhang Yimou asked with a changed expression.
"I plan to leave for Hong Kong at the end of July or the beginning of August." Zhang Qiurui replied, his eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one.
"Qiurui, I won't go." Peng Xiaolian was the first to refuse, which surprised Zhang Qiurui.
"I won't go either." Tian Zhuangzhuang also refused.
"Me too." Cheng Kaige also said.
Zhang Qiurui had already expected that Tian Zhuangzhuang and Cheng Kaige would not go to Hong Kong. After all, both of them had some family background, and developing in China might be more advantageous for them.
But Peng Xiaolian's refusal still surprised her.
"Sister Lian, do you have any difficulties? Or do you have any concerns?" Zhang Qiurui couldn't help asking.
Peng Xiaolian smiled slightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Qiu Rui, I feel that I still have a lot to learn and improve.
Although Hong Kong has a well-developed film industry, competition there is also fiercer, and the language and cultural differences might make it difficult for us to adapt. I want to lay a solid foundation in school and wait for the right opportunity."
"You don't have to answer me in a hurry. Think it over carefully before giving me an answer. I will definitely go to Hong Kong at the end of July or August this year. You just need to make a decision before that." Zhang Qiurui saw that others were still thinking or considering, so she didn't urge them too much.
After all, everyone's choice must take into account the family and personal future plans behind it. Going to Hong Kong is not a trivial matter. It means leaving the familiar environment and starting over in a completely unfamiliar place.
Not everyone has this courage and determination.
Zhang Qiurui respected Peng Xiaolian's decision.
She understood that Peng Xiaolian was a person with aspirations and goals. She would not be easily shaken by external temptations, but would move towards her goals at her own pace.
........
"Qiurui, Xiangjiang has sent you another letter." Before Zhang Qiurui left, Zhang Wenfu handed Zhang Qiurui a letter.
Zhang Qiurui took it. She knew that the letter was written by Cheng Shufen and it was just an invitation to sing.
Last year, the third album written by Zhang Qiurui for Zhang Guorong sold better than the second one. Three of the songs won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards. Now Zhang Guorong is very popular in Hong Kong.
In March of this year, Cheng Shufen wrote to herself, inviting her to write songs, and at the same time, asked her explicitly and implicitly whether she could write songs in Japanese, Korean, and English, hoping to push Zhang Guorong into the international market.
However, at that time, Zhang Qiurui was filming "The Fault in Our Stars" and had no time to deal with Cheng Shufen, so he did not reply to her.
Now Cheng Shufen has written to me again.
Zhang Guorong is extremely popular in Hong Kong. No one dares to compete with her in the music scene. Her fan base is already very solid, and it is time to push Zhang Guorong into the international market.
This time, Zhang Qiurui will not only write an album in Cantonese and Mandarin mixed for Zhang Guorong, but will also write an album in Japanese and Korean for him.
I will first write three English songs and release them in Europe and the United States to test the waters and see the market reaction before releasing an English album.
A Cantonese-Mandarin mixed album.
Six Cantonese songs: "How Much Wind and Rain", "Moonlight Serenade", "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", "A Closet Toy", "Sun and Stars", and "Dare to Love, Dare to Do".
These six songs all won the Top Ten Golden Songs or Top Ten Golden Songs Awards that year.
The four Mandarin songs are "Goodbye Kiss", "Flower Heart", "Good Intentions" and "999 Roses".
These four Mandarin songs were intended to pave the way for Zhang Guorong's future entry into the mainland market.
Korean albums: "Day By Day", "Gee", "Wow", "Spark", "Nbbody", "Alive", "La La La", "Two People", "Destiny", "Gangnam Style"
Each of these ten Korean songs is a slam dunk. When they are put together in one album, Zhang Qiurui has no idea what chemical reaction will occur. It is not impossible for Zhang Guorong to set the entire Korean entertainment industry on fire and become the top star in the Korean entertainment industry, even more dazzling than local Korean stars.
Japanese albums: "Confession of Tears", "Heart Made", "My Ayy", "Red Lotus", "Fireworks", "Loser", "Planet", "Stay by My Side", "Blue Bird", "Pure Land of Bliss"
These ten Japanese songs are also not to be underestimated. They are cleverly integrated into an album. Zhang Qiurui is looking forward to what kind of musical feast it will be.
A mini album of English songs, including "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Beat It" and "The Cup of Life"
Later, Zhang Qiurui thought about it and wrote another English song for Zhang Guorong, so that after she went to Hong Kong, she would be busy filming and would not be able to take care of Zhang Guorong.
