China Entertainment 2000

People are born, grow old, get sick and die; the moon waxes and wanes; these are the immutable laws of nature.

Huang Zhan has experienced glory, desolation, and comeback in his life. I have so many female friends that I cannot count them on both hands, and my children have all grown up.

He went through years of confusion and bewilderment, but optimism, heroism and freedom are the labels he left to the world.

As a figure who cannot be avoided when talking about the history of Hong Kong music and even Chinese pop music, his departure is unfortunate news for both the Hong Kong and mainland industries. Especially for the mainland, after all, James Wong is one of those Hong Kong entertainers who can see far ahead——

Therefore, CCTV immediately sent reporters and began to prepare a documentary about Huang Zhan.

Hong Kong TVB, ATV and other television stations have collectively announced the suspension of normal programs and switched to live broadcasts to mourn the death of James Wong.

For example, TVB stopped the original content of the two programs "Urban Leisure" and "Entertainment Big Search" and directly changed them to live broadcast content to fully mourn Huang Zhan. It is also rumored that former members of the Wynners, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Chen Boxiang and others will be invited to attend or live broadcast the program to commemorate this music giant who spanned an era in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

At the same time, it can also be used as an opportunity to officially announce the news of James Wong's death to the whole of Hong Kong and even the whole of Asia.

As the only younger generation friend praised by Huang Zhan during his lifetime, Zhou Yi naturally received this impromptu invitation from TVB.

His family officially announced his death in the early morning of November 24, and the program was broadcast on the 25th. It is difficult to rehearse a program in such a short time. It generally depends on the personal abilities of the guests and the program team. Therefore, the guests invited are all experienced old hands.

Zhou Yi is the only artist under the age of 30 on the invited list.

Therefore, he took on the role of "Entertainment Big Search", an evening program of TVB, which would give him a little more preparation time compared to the daytime "Urban Leisure".

Cheng Long, who was busy with the post-production of "Mythology" today, called to inquire about the situation and asked if he needed help when he heard that Zhou Yi was also on the list.

Chenglong had originally planned to connect via phone because he was busy with the post-production of "The Myth", but in the end he chose to be there in person.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

At Qian Jiang's house, Zhou Yi was watching the news on the TV screen about how Sun Yanzi's autograph session in Kowloon had triggered a buying frenzy among fans, and he drank a sip of hot soup.

"Big brother, how is the soup my mother made?"

A round little face popped out from the side of the sofa and was reflected in Zhou Yi's pupils - he was wearing red and white overalls and jeans, and all he needed was a hat on his head to cosplay as Mario.

“Of course it tastes good.”

"Take your time, don't disturb your brother's work." The middle-aged woman in an apron hurried over and took the child away, not forgetting to apologize to Zhou Yi.

Qian Xiaoman, whose English name is Elena and whose nickname is Manman, is Qian Jiang’s beloved daughter;

This middle-aged woman with a youthful look in her brows is Qian Jiang's wife Zhuo Xuan. She was once the daughter of a small record store owner. It was pure luck that Qian Jiang met her, and he shamelessly pursued her passionately.

"It's okay, Sister Xuan, my work schedule isn't that busy yet."

Pinching the chubby face of the ten-year-old girl, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Besides, I wish Lao Qian would assign me less work."

"Don't pinch my daughter's face so harshly. If you want to play with a child so much, go give birth to one yourself."

Qian Jiang, who came over with his wife, couldn't help but laugh and scold: "I finally came here, I asked you to be a role model for my daughter, but you only know how to play with her."

As the most popular and famous singer in Hong Kong, Zhou Yi undoubtedly has a huge influence among the student group - from college and graduate students to junior high school and elementary school students.

It just so happened that the child at home was in a naughty period. At this time of emergency, Qian Jiang, who had temporarily arranged the affairs in Hong Kong, naturally returned home and invited Zhou Yi to come as a guest.

This was Zhou Yi’s first visit to Qian Jiang’s home in Hong Kong. His previous visits were all packed with schedules and he had no time to come and sit down. As for the house in Qianjiang Didu, it is basically the same as before, where families will move in during the winter and summer vacations when the children are on vacation.

"It's good to be a role model. You can learn from me slowly in the future, okay?"

"Okay, big brother, we learned from you in school. We scolded Zhou Runfa for being old and undisciplined every day, and we almost got into a fight with some boys and girls."

Zhou Yi: “…”

Qian Jiang held his forehead helplessly.

My daughter is grown up and it’s hard to control her.

He had indeed intended to let his daughter learn some worthwhile virtues from Zhou Yi, but his daughter ended up idolizing Zhou Yi's unruly and reckless behavior. She acted as Zhou Yi's strategist at school every day, seemingly learning from her idol.

He was almost mad at me.

In other words, he can now spare some time, and use his father's authority at home to correct some of the unhealthy tendencies in his daughter's mind. If he doesn't spare some time, coupled with his wife's indulgence and doting on his daughter, he can hardly imagine to what extent his daughter will grow up to be bad.

"Actually, you don't have to learn these from me—no, how did you teach your daughter?"

After leaving Qian Jiang's house and taking the car to TVB, Zhou Yi, who was buckled up, glanced at him: "In her eyes, I am only good at cursing?"

"What else? Children naturally like to pursue things that are different and resist authority. You really hit the psychology of these little brats." Qian Jiang was powerless to complain.

Fortunately, he is not as busy as before and has no time to go home, otherwise, Gao Di will have to withdraw from the circle for a while.

"You temporarily quit the circle for personal reasons. Was it because of your daughter?" Zhou Yi suddenly became curious.

He knew that Qian Jiang was pulled back into the agent circle by Zhou Jianhui, but he didn't know why Qian Jiang left in the first place, and he didn't know what the specific personal reason was.

"My daughter was still young at that time, and my wife loved to dote on her. If I hadn't temporarily retired from the entertainment industry and reduced my workload to spend more time with my child, she might not even be familiar with me as a father now."

Compared to his stable career at that time, Qian Jiang still preferred his family.

"Now, ever since you became famous in Asia, she has been pestering me every day to get your autographed photo to show off at school. She imitates you every day. I feel like her rebellious period has arrived early."

It is difficult to learn good things, but it is easy to learn bad things.

This is difficult to comment on.

Zhou Yi was very dissatisfied: "How can learning from me be considered bad? If your daughter learns bad things in the future, I will be responsible for it."

Qian Jiang glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhou Yi thought about it and finally shut up.

He has always been an upright person and has always done things honestly. This child must have deserved a beating for his wrong way of thinking.

Still not enough.

"You should use the broomstick to beat her hard, so that she will learn her lesson and turn over a new leaf. The stick is the best way to educate her."

"When you have a child in the future, I'll see if you can beat him hard with a broomstick."

"That's impossible. That's my child."

"Get lost!"

"Look at you, you're anxious again..."

After taking the bus all the way to TVB, Zhou Yi, who had been teasing the dad Qian Jiang, finally gathered his thoughts and entered the waiting hall under the guidance of the staff.

Cheng Long, who was always paying attention to the gate, immediately noticed Zhou Yi who came in with Qian Jiang. He immediately raised his hand to him and said hello: "Ayi, here."

Chenglong has a very loud voice. With one shout, even Hong Jinbao, who was busy with his own business, noticed this handsome young man, the world superstar whom no one in Hong Kong dared to mess with.

"Uncle Long."

"Come on, come on, Ayi, let me introduce you to my son Fang. I think you have met him several times before..."

The room group name that was obviously Chenglong's son was pushed out by his father. He smiled shyly and greeted Zhou Yi: "Hello, Brother Yi."

Born in 1982, there is nothing wrong with him calling Zhou Yi "brother", after all, Zhou Yi is indeed one year older than him.

"Yes, I have seen him before. I met him several times on the Beverly Hills shopping street."

After shaking hands, Zhou Yi smiled politely.

Chenglong was obviously very excited to be able to formally introduce his son to Zhou Yi, and he kept urging his son to spend more time with Zhou Yi: "In the future, learn more from your brother Yi, and don't just hang out with those shady people all day long..."

When talking to Zhou Yi, Chenglong kept beautifying the image of his son - shy, a good boy, ambitious and studious.

In a sense, Chenglong's own son is indeed not abnormal.

Shy means always maintaining superficial politeness under his pressure;

A good child means being filial to his mother;

He was studious and ambitious and took the initiative to say that he wanted to study music, so Chenglong found Li Zongsheng to be his teacher.

"Dad, Brother Yi, I'm going to the bathroom, you guys chat."

After exchanging contact information, Fang Team Name still maintained a decent smile on his face. He turned around and found a reason to leave the scene that made him feel suffocated.

Chenglong wanted to say something, but his throat rolled three times and in the end he just watched his son's leaving back without saying anything.

He couldn't understand.

This is Zhou Yi, the absolute king of Chinese pop music, a dominant presence in the European and American music scene. His son was raised in the United States by his wife to study, so he should understand the value of this music better.

The friendship between him and Zhou Yi cannot be equally extended to Fang Grouping. This is a great opportunity. After they officially get to know each other, they can interact more often. Even if they can't learn a single trick from each other, it's still worthwhile to have them as friends. As the old saying goes, more friends mean more paths.

There is only a one-year age difference between them, so why is there such a big gap between them and Zhou Yi?

Every time he came home, during the rare time that the father and son spent together, he would use the Book of Changes as an example to give to Fang Zuming, asking him to watch and learn it carefully. Could it be that he just ignored it and let it go in one ear and out the other?

"Alas, this child really makes me worry every day."

Zhou Yi: “…”

He was trying his best to keep a straight face and not laugh out loud.

Other parents said that they were worrying about their children every day, but Chenglong said this was somewhat black humor.

When the house was named, Chenglong was out on a passionate journey, and he only saw his son a few times a year.

I finally took the initiative to find time to pick up my son from school to make him proud, but I didn't know that my son was already in junior high school. I waited for a long time at the gate of the elementary school but no one was there. I had to call the driver to find out that my son was no longer in this school...

Fang Zuming basically grew up in this kind of atmosphere. His mother, Lin Fengjiao, doted on him and was reluctant to beat or scold him, letting him do whatever he wanted.

"When I was at home, I always told him to learn more from you, but he, well, there was no point in talking."

Chenglong sighed and shook his head: "Such a good example is right here, but you don't learn from it and hang out with a bunch of bad friends all day long."

After chatting about trivial matters and the theme song of "Mythology" for a while, Chenglong finally said goodbye.

"Does Chenglong always use you to educate Fang Muming in private? Why do I feel like his son's mentality seems to have been crushed?" As a veteran dad, Qian Jiang could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Fang Muming's condition.

That definitely can't be explained by being shy or timid.

This is an instinctive resistance, and he has seen this state in his own daughter - when he said to her, "Why don't you study hard from the family next door who has good test scores and makes parents worry less?"

It just so happens that the two people in Zhou Yi Fang’s group are only one year apart in age, and belong to the same generation.

"Let it collapse. There are so many people who have been crushed by me since they were young. This one is not the only one."

Zhou Yi took a small cake indifferently, opened it and filled his stomach first.

"Other people's children" - from childhood to adulthood, he has always played this role and never lost it.

………………………………

"Mr. Zhang, you really disappoint me."

Imperial capital, Gao Yuanyuan’s home.

When Zhang Yadong came to her house and said that he had to go on a business trip at the request of a client, Gao Yuanyuan said calmly: "Even Zhou Yi noticed that I was not feeling well. He asked me to rest at home for a few days just after we started shooting the MV. What about you?"

"Zhou Yi is Zhou Yi, and I am me. What's more, I am indeed busy with work. If you don't believe me, I can't help it. Zhou Yi has something to do and needs to go to Hong Kong."

Zhang Yadong shook his head and was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Who's calling?"

"It's Xu Jinglei's. She wants me to help with the film music."

Zhang Yadong was very frank: "But now I am busy with another big client's order, that is the little girl Jing Tian who filmed Zhou Yi's MV with you, so I don't have time, so she is more persistent."

“…”

Gao Yuanyuan took a deep breath and sat on the sofa for a long time without saying anything - until Zhang Yadong left.

"Let's break up."

Not long after, Zhang Yadong received a text message on his mobile phone, which was sent by Gao Yuanyuan.

"Stop messing around, calm down, and when I come back we can have a frank talk."

Zhang Yadong was not worried about this at all.

This woman has such a rich ability to associate ideas.

It was obvious that Zhou Yi was going to Hong Kong to attend a memorial service before he was given the day off, but in Gao Yuanyuan's mouth it became that Zhou Yi gave her the day off because he noticed that something was wrong with her.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to use Zhou Yi's strong position to suppress him a little to prove that he is still very attractive and point out his shortcomings.

With this in mind, he called Xu Jinglei, whom he had just hung up on.

"Where are you?"

"I bought a rather new piece of clothing at home and wanted to ask for your opinion."

"I'll be right there."

Knowing that he already had a girlfriend, Xu Jinglei still approached him openly, and he still enjoyed this feeling. Especially when Xu Jinglei herself said that she was willing to just have him and nothing else, it infinitely satisfied his vanity as a man.
