Chapter 301: Golden Song

Su Yun could hear the double meaning in the words on the other end of the phone. She felt very complicated. After thinking it over for a long time, she just whispered, "When the time comes, I will definitely go home."

Maybe she took the opportunity to test the minds of people in Hong Kong, or maybe she truly missed the "wanderer" who had no choice but to leave home. Whatever the reason, Su Yun, who came from the future, knew clearly that the pearl of the Orient, which had experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, would eventually return to the embrace of the motherland as promised on the day and year that countless people had been looking forward to.

Busy time always seems to pass quickly. After seeing that the box office growth of "Grave Robbers" has become relatively stable, Su Yun shifted some of her attention to other work.

Naturally, helping the mainland tourism department connect with international travel companies in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia is the top priority, but Su Yun also knows that this cannot be rushed and must be properly arranged and deployed in order to achieve the greatest possible win-win situation.

Therefore, she decisively found her elder brother Zhao Liming, who was worrying about what excuse to use to go to Shenzhou to inspect the Shenzhen business, and told him frankly that she had found a good excuse for him. She said that tourism was still an emerging business with great profitability for mainland China, and if they did it well, it would also be of great benefit to their real estate business in the future.

Zhao Liming thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the truth, so he secretly led Su Yun to find his cousin Zhao Liying, one to seek cooperation guidance, and the other to ask him to help cover up...

Zhao Liying was teaching Zhao Lizhong some questions at this time. He suddenly heard what the two were saying and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Sixth Uncle has always been interested in real estate. You don't have to be so secretive - even if you can't make a lot of money this way."

"It's because we can't make a lot of money that we're afraid he'll have an opinion on our business!" Zhao Qiming replied distressedly, "Besides, he was almost fooled by Jianing earlier. If we rashly explain things to him now, it might irritate his weak mind..."

"Hey, brother, what you said is not right. Our dad eats ginseng for a meal all day long, he will never be angry to death!" Zhao Lizhong, a filial son with a unique style, said something shocking.

"In a nutshell, will you help me or not?" Zhao Qiming was a little annoyed.

"Help, of course I will help. Who said you are my biological brother?" Zhao Lizhong covered his head with his hands, looking very familiar with waiting to be criticized. After waiting for a few minutes and finding no blow coming from the sky, he quickly raised his head again.

I saw that Zhao Liming had already started chatting with Zhao Liying, and his words seemed to imply that the two of them should go north together.

"Don't just abandon me like this! It's almost the end of the month, and I'm in charge of the first Golden Melody Awards Ceremony. It's my first time to be in charge of such a big event..." Zhao Lizhong suddenly became anxious.

"Mary will stay and help you." Zhao Liying couldn't help frowning at his impatient look. "She told me before that she had an appointment with someone and would attend the first Golden Melody Awards ceremony together."

"Wait, who do you have an appointment with?!" Before Zhao Lizhong could react, the devil uncle Zhao Liming spoke first.

How could this be possible? Who would dare to invite his sister to a party under his nose? !

Could it be...

Thinking back to the time when he had given Zhuang Long numerous warnings and full of trust, only to have Zhuang Long, who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, do such a shabby thing, the more Zhao Qiming thought about it, the angrier he became: If it was him, then it would be a good opportunity to settle all the old grudges together!

"With Danny, we agreed on this a long time ago. It's also a way of repaying him for his help to me before." Su Yun replied.

After hearing Su Yun's answer, Zhao Qiming calmed down a little: he had also heard that Chen Boyang had voluntarily signed an eight-year contract in order to help Su Yun get chips. He was indeed obsessed.

If it were an ordinary girl, meeting a boy who is willing to sacrifice for her, there would be no doubt that she would be so moved that she would want to marry him... Unfortunately, the fool Chen Baiyang met his unconventional little sister.

Su Yun was touched, but she was so "rigorous" that she coldly analyzed the reasons behind this favor, and even proposed the hypothesis that it was a return of favor. This immediately made Chen Boyang, who was still relatively simple-minded, so frustrated that he kept agreeing with her. She, on the other hand, took all the advantages and still had the absolutely advantageous posture of a "victim" and "forced person"...

However, although Chen Baiyang is naive, his thoughts are known to everyone.

So in Zhao Liming's view, the difference between Chen Boyang and Zhuang Long, that is, the naive and innocent girl who is secretly in love with him and the blatant and scheming man, is that they are both slutty bitches who covet his little sister!

So, taking advantage of the opportunity when Su Yun was handing over work to Zhao Liying, Zhao Liming quietly pulled his brother to a corner and gave him some earnest advice.

"Don't worry, big brother. I promise to take good care of my little sister for you!" Zhao Lizhong was very confident about this: it was almost the end of the month, and those who made it to the Golden Songs Season Selection last year were all rehearsing intensively in the TV studio after being notified. It was impossible for them to have extra time and energy to flirt with girls.

Last year, two of Chen Baiyang's songs were shortlisted for the seasonal selection, and he was also informed in advance that he had a place in the top ten. In addition to rehearsing the award-winning song, he also had to rehearse a new song - after receiving the award, every winner needs to perform the winning song and a new song on the spot.

Therefore, all future winners who have been notified and promised to attend are now so busy that they are almost not sleeping in the studio.

After the Golden Songs Contest is over, Po-Yang Chen will go to Tokyo to participate in the music festival together with Patrick Tam, Mei Yanshuang, Zhang Querong and others according to their performance and popularity. By then, whether participating in a world conference of a competition nature or an Asian conference of a concert nature, it will be a busy period and they will have to leave Hong Kong.

There was no problem with Chen Baiyang, and Zhuang Long had just been criticized by Fang Mona, so he had restrained himself a lot - so Zhao Lizhong nodded confidently, looking like he had a lot to gain.

Although his younger brother is not very good at doing things, he is a first-rate troublemaker... Zhao Liming pondered for a while, and after feeling that Zhao Lizhong and Su Yun could probably check and balance each other, he patted Zhao Lizhong on the shoulder like a big boss, implying that all matters in Hong Kong would be left to him to take charge.

After seeing off Zhao Liying and Zhao Liming, Su Yun and Zhao Lizhong did not temporarily find themselves in a situation where the monkeys claim to be king because there is no tiger in the mountain. They worked diligently and overtime for a few days, and finally made sure that the "1983 Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony" was officially broadcast on television to the Hong Kong audience on January 28, 1985.

Different from the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" which uses the professional quality of the songs as the judging criteria, the most important judging criteria for the "Top Ten Powerful Golden Songs" is not only the quality of the songs, but also the popularity and attention they received in the past year.

Because of this award standard, "King of Songs" also has certain requirements for the participation of Hong Kong citizens. At present, it follows the previous method of inserting survey forms and registration forms in magazines to survey ratings and randomly select family audiences to participate in variety shows. In addition, a questionnaire for the "King of Songs Awards Ceremony" is inserted into the magazine produced by TBB, and then they pay AGB, a company that has been cooperating with them in market research, to be responsible for statistical summary.

As soon as the trailer for this more down-to-earth awards ceremony was released, TBB's magazine "Hong Kong TV" instantly saw a surge in sales, and its popularity and craze were no less than the sensation in the era of text message voting.

In the battle for the Golden Melody Award at this city-wide awards ceremony, the competition is clearly divided into two major factions: the adults have the monetary power of multiple votes, while the young people have the cohesiveness of unity.

As the Hong Kong music scene is experiencing a period of transition from the old to the new, Su Yun is eager to see which fan base has the strongest fighting power and will eventually be able to bring their idol to the first Golden Melody Awards.

Before the award ceremony began that night, a short entertainment video about "stereoscopic visual effects" was played to show the audience in front of the TV TBB's new technology - in fact, it is the principle of red and blue 3D imaging, and then the brain presents 3D images through red and blue glasses.

Su Yun had known before that TBB was the first to start playing with this, but she didn’t pay attention to the content of this edition of “Jingge Jinqu”—after all, she used to be a programmer who often worked 997 or even all night, so her focus was definitely on technology, not entertainment…

The TV is still broadcasting, and people are preparing to enter the venue.

When seeing Chen Boyan's new look with a silver highlight in his thick short hair, Su Yun was a little surprised: this guy is indeed as many people in the circle have commented, always at the forefront of fashion. It was only the beginning of 1995 that he started playing with highlights and other things that are still quite trendy now.

Although the beauty in front of her had a new packaging that many people thought was very trendy and cool, she couldn't seduce the knowledgeable and career-oriented Marilyn Sue with just a strand of silver hair.

Therefore, after she and Chen Baiyang entered the venue hand in hand, they ignored the eye contact of others, said hello, and left them behind, going straight to their own front row seats.

"Forget it. Mary may not know." Zhang Querong clapped his hands and called Tan Yunlun, Zhong Zhentu and others to take Chen Boyang away with him. "We have to go backstage and prepare quickly, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to go on stage later."

They all knew that they would have a Golden Melody Award, and this was also the unspoken rule of this type of award ceremony: a phone call would be made a few weeks in advance to inform and inquire about the person concerned, and if they agreed to attend, the award would basically be secured, and then the performance arrangements after winning the award would be discussed, as well as various rehearsal matters and performance details during this period.

The last three awards of the ceremony are usually not announced to the nominees in advance. They can’t be made too obvious. They need to be notified in advance because they have to perform. The last three awards only require accepting the award and giving a speech. So it’s best not to inform them in advance, so as to avoid the audience noticing that someone’s acting is too bad...
