Chapter 441 Candidates
The feeling of wanting to get married seemed to last only for a moment. Su Yun, who was very good at thinking things through, silently savored the fleeting sense of relief, and then she returned to her usual philandering mentality in the game world.
Then again, Fang Mona had discussed this issue with her before, and had analyzed the situation for her very carefully - if she really didn't want to focus on choosing those rich young men who could form a strong alliance, but insisted on choosing someone from the entertainment industry, then Fang Mona's number one recommendation would be Chen Baiyang.
As for why Chen Boyang was chosen as the first choice, the reasons were analyzed to her in detail: first of all, Chen Boyang's family owns a well-established watch shop with some assets, so there would not be much difference between his social circle and lifestyle and Su Yun's; and because of his "all-round knives" ability to compose music, write lyrics and write articles, he is a clear stream of "talent" in the entertainment industry.
As we all know, although the Hong Kong entertainment industry is constantly lowering the lower limit of the box office figures that can be contributed to the sinking market, it is undeniable that in the eyes of many people, those who are in the entertainment industry are still like actors and actresses. Therefore, even if they have many moving songs and movies, they are not as respected as the old-fashioned way of writing on paper media such as newspapers and magazines.
Especially the wealthy families in Hong Kong, on the one hand they send their children and grandchildren to study abroad, on the other hand they always cling to those old-fashioned feudal ideas, which is really contradictory.
However, because of his acting skills, Chen Baiyang pays more attention to his achievements in the singing industry, which makes him more easily accepted by these old-fashioned people with conservative ideas. Similarly, Zhang Querong, who has a similar background to Chen Baiyang, was ranked behind because he has excellent achievements in film and television, and has worked with many female artists of all sizes as a couple.
In the eyes of such old-fashioned circles, even if they know it is fake and that it is just a requirement for filming, they still think that film and television stars are not "pure and clean" enough. Especially under the attention of the Hong Kong media, which is particularly fond of making up stories and fanning the flames, a film and television star who has worked with many opposite sexes will ruin their family tradition.
Even if their family is torn apart as fiercely as the Deng family inheritance dispute and known to everyone, as long as they are thick-skinned enough and can pretend to be ignorant, then their family will still be a clean and loving family...
Of course, the most crucial point is that Chen Po-yang's mind is much simpler than other candidates, and he is stubborn and difficult to let go of once he sets a goal. Choosing him will be easier to "control". If Su Yun has any gossip in the entertainment industry in the future, it will be easier to coax or leave her...
What, you mean Tom who has similar thoughts to Chen Boyang?
God, ever since the Zhao sisters who were developing their careers in the United States each brought back a foreign boyfriend some time ago and seemed to have the intention of getting married, Zhao Liming, who felt that he had been stabbed in the back one after another, was already full of flammable points. If Su Yun brought a golden retriever home again - I'm afraid Zhao Liming would be furious...
This is what the old-fashioned patriarch said: I can barely allow you to talk to foreigners, but I absolutely will not allow you to bring foreigners home.
So, among the four candidates in Fang Mona's mind, Tom is ranked at the bottom and the youngest among the younger brothers.
The one who is slightly better than the younger brother Tom is Zhuang Long. He took advantage of Fang Mona's "summoning and warning" earlier. Although his parents didn't admit it, he is at least a little better than Tom. He didn't have to go through the difficult task of climbing mountains and crossing seas...
Not knowing that Su Yun was waiting for the breakfast he made while thinking about someone else's Zhuang Long, he prepared the last bit of seasoning with a bit of awkward movements, then turned around and looked at the person who came.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Yun asked with a smile.
"You really look like a 'queen', waiting for your subjects' worship." Zhuang Long said meaningfully.
Su Yun also briefly told him about the series "Nine Provinces Past" which has not started yet, and Su Yun will undoubtedly play the role of an anthropomorphic immortal of China in this series. So he, the "last emperor", really needs to worship the soul of China.
"I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be much sweeter." Su Yun glanced at him sideways. "I just wonder if the food can be as good as yours..."
Su Yun had intended to tease him, but she had not expected that this kind of look, in the eyes of others, would have a different meaning.
In the thin golden morning light, that look seemed to carry the concentrated soul of an eternal beauty. It seemed to be a slight angry reproach, but it was also a look of longing that aroused people's desire.
Unfortunately, he still had a scene to shoot in the afternoon, so he had to go to the Forbidden City to put on makeup and wait, so he couldn't linger on this beautiful morning light any longer...
Su Yun, who had eaten and drunk her fill, gave him a farewell kiss very naturally: "I'll wait for you to come back."
“I don’t know yet what time we’ll finish taking the photos…” Zhuang Long said subconsciously.
"But at least I won't leave for the next few days. I'll stay here with you." Su Yun is always in the best mood and most talkative when she has eaten and drunk enough. She can say a dozen sweet words.
Zhuang Long went out contentedly, and then, under the high pressure of the director, watched the sunset, the moonrise, and the night deepen.
He wondered if Su Yun was getting anxious waiting for him in the yard... When he thought of this, he worked even harder.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Su Yun, who had already briefly talked about the issue but had not yet concluded it, was very angry at those old-fashioned people who insisted on using their old ideas to speculate about the new era without knowing the actual situation.
Thinking of this, she gradually drafted a new plan in her study room at night when no one was coming home - to let those who were ignorant of the development of the times and relied on random rumors to truly see the success of the coastal opening-up policy and the intention of the two sides of the strait to connect.
Yes, based on the foundation laid by Zhao and TBB, she intends to stand up on the shoulders of these predecessors and publish a magazine targeting the inland areas.
In addition to preventing those messy rumors from becoming "secrets" passed on by word of mouth by certain people with ulterior motives without any control, the most crucial point is to use it to connect the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places and become a channel for people to communicate.
Anyway, she is in the capital now, and any ideas and plans she has can be submitted and responded to as quickly as possible, so of course she should take advantage of this opportunity to do something big!
Later generations interpreted Su Yun's thoughts and actions as "Mary Sue, the road builder, after building so many real roads, began to want to build a 'spiritual road' that is invisible and can connect people's hearts closely"...
However, at the very beginning, Su Yun did not think so much and so far ahead: this magazine was born out of the fusion of Zhao's film character series "Southern Film and Television" and TBB's character series "Hong Kong Television". Naturally, at least half of the content would be reserved for various film and television song promotions, character biographies and entertainment news, so as to become the most "official" Hong Kong entertainment information platform facing the mainland.
In addition, the fashion and beauty columns that promote their own industries, the horoscope and zodiac fortune columns that are loved by Hong Kong people and many mainlanders, and the most critical "heart-to-heart" letter exchange column are the major forces that occupy the other half of the content.
In order to increase the sales and acceptance of the mainland version, Su Yun was very considerate and paid for it out of her own pocket. She followed the example of Hong Kong Television and added a "December Stamp Series" to the color pages of the book. After collecting stamps for all twelve months, you can send them to your address to participate in a lucky draw. A number of lucky readers will be selected to go on a three-day tour to Hong Kong for free. They may also be lucky enough to be arranged to be the audience of various variety shows on the TV station and participate in the recording of the show...
Back then, Hong Kong Television relied on this kind of internal configuration of forms and stamps for lottery draws, thus successfully gaining a foothold in the already mature print media market.
However, the idea is beautiful, but to implement it in reality, it still requires human cooperation...
Su Yun went through a bunch of names in her mind, and finally picked up the phone and called: "Hello? Danny?"
When filming "Guardians of the Galaxy", Chen Po-yang, who was in San Francisco, visited the set several times, and was even asked by Chow Yuan-fat to take a photo with him. He said that in the movie "An Autumn's Tale" they had worked together before, he was a ragged poor ghost and he was a scumbag ex-boyfriend with a noble image. This contrast was too stark and affected his image, so he had to take a few photos to "prove his innocence"...
Chen Boyang was asked to take a photo with someone in between laughter and tears, and then was taken by Su Yun to see the various models - he was a big fan of these things in the first place, and was as happy as a child who accidentally entered a display cabinet. He even pestered Su Yun to get a minor role as a Sami, so that he could at least satisfy his desire to wear a costume.
Of course, he is very self-aware. The supporting role is just a supporting role that shows up in the group. He doesn't have a single line and is very conscientious and silent in the play.
Outside the play, he continued to tell Su Yun about the news of his friends in Hong Kong during her rest time, saying that Anita Mui and Leslie had taken on a few more dramas, and that he would soon finish his studies and return to Hong Kong to continue his singing career. This was quite refreshing for Su Yun, who was used to listening to work reports.
Most importantly, Chen Po-yang's voice is much better than that of the staff in charge of reporting...
"Well, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Boyang's pleasant voice with a hint of joy came from the other end of the phone again, chattering non-stop, "Galaxy Visitors has been very popular recently. Although it is a children's movie, according to statistics, the majority of moviegoers are adults..."
"I also really like the imagination and plot setting in it. Fortunately, I pestered you for a role at that time. Otherwise, if I missed it, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"
Thinking of that insignificant supporting role, Su Yun was silent for a moment, and then began to ask him: "By the way, I remember that you not only wrote lyrics, but also wrote articles for newspapers and magazines, right?"
"Sometimes when I go out and see some beautiful scenery, I write about what I feel." Chen Boyang said a little embarrassedly, "Why do you suddenly ask me this?"
So Su Yun told him about her idea of publishing a magazine and inviting him to be one of the persons in charge of the entertainment column: "In this circle, there are many smooth-talking people, but not many who dare to speak the truth. I hope you can help me do a good job in this column and not let those messy rumors spread."
In particular, the reason why Chen Baiyang went to San Francisco for further studies was because of the unscrupulous media's criticism and insults on his concert.
Even though it has been proven that capital was behind this, he is definitely not the first and will definitely not be the last person to suffer psychological problems from unscrupulous media reports.
The mature system in Hong Kong can only be countered by checks and balances, but the mainland market, which is still a barren and fertile land, has a bright future and great potential.
Among them, there are very few candidates who can speak their true feelings sincerely, do not take sides for any other reasons, are "one of us" and have time.
There are only a few of them when you think about it.
"That's fine with me." Chen Boyang said immediately, and then asked worriedly, "But, how far do you want me to go?"
"You are mainly responsible for the 'exaggeration' part." Chen Baiyang intends to do fashion design after retiring. He has always had a good eye for beauty, but if he wants to be critical, he needs someone who has a close relationship with him but a sharper personality...
Ever since the gathering of the “Three Princes of Central”, Hong Kong people have classified them according to their personalities and main focuses: Chan Pak-Yung, who focuses on singing, is “like Pak-Yung, aloof and noble”, Chung Buluo, who focuses on hosting, is “all-encompassing, with many stars present”, and Chang Que-Rong, who is both a singer and an actor, is “good at speaking, and his talents are clearly revealed”…
After making another phone call to the "distinct" man and explaining clearly their respective responsibilities, Zhang Querong immediately started to make a fuss.
"So, the parts that are easy to offend people are all given to me, right?" Zhang Querong yelled on the phone, "You are biased!"
Before he could continue yelling, Su Yun decisively chose to take the initiative: "Stop talking nonsense, are you coming or not?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then Zhang Querong's gnashing voice rang out again: "Come on, why don't you come - there are some people and some things that I've wanted to talk to them about for a long time!"
