rebirth of change

"How is it? This is the first time I came to the United States to receive an award. How do you feel?" Through the plane window, looking at the soft white clouds like cotton candy outside, Chen Kangjie turned around and asked He Wanrong who was sitting opposite him.

The time for Chen Kangjie and He Wanrong to sit down and chat has become less and less. The key is that Chen Kangjie is too busy to live in Hong Kong.He Wanrong was able to go back to her home in China, but he was busy after all. Even if she returned to Qianzhou, it would be difficult for her to have alone time to chat with Chen Kangjie. Most of the time she had to accompany He Baoguo and Zhao Yuexiang. a meal.So it is rare to sit together today, so we have to chat. Anyway, it will take more than ten hours to fly from Hong Kong to the United States.

Chen Kangjie followed the staff and the people brought by He Wanrong went to drink and chat by themselves. On the plane, there was nothing they needed to pay attention to.Even if Chen Kangjie and He Wanrong needed any service, they could just call them. The two pilots who were rarely called were really busy.

"I still feel very happy. In Hong Kong before, I won some awards and participated in some award ceremonies, such as Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, Hong Kong Film Awards, Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Top Ten Chinese Song Awards, etc. Although we The organizers always want to make the event bigger and more grand. But some time ago, I went to the Grammy Awards Ceremony, which made me feel very different. Both the organizers and the participants were of a high standard. In The media interviewed by the red carpet came from all over the world, and the broadcast was also broadcast to the United States, which has a population of more than 2 million. There are also many countries that broadcast at the same time. It is incomparable. The top ten Hong Kong hits that have been released for many years, the broadcast means that Hong Kong can watch , the influence is on such a large circle." When He Wanrong said, her eyes flickered with light, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she did not hide her satisfaction at all.

As an artist who likes music, even if He Wanrong is not the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune, she is still very pleased to be recognized in the highest international award.This is a sense of pride and honor that comes from the heart.Of course, He Wanrong also knew that Chen Kangjie had a lot to do with her winning the award. Even, Chen Kangjie should at least account for 60.00% of all the achievements she has achieved today.

"How can it be compared? Cultural influence is an extension of economic influence. Hong Kong is such a big place with such a small population. Even Treasure Island is very small. No matter how they promote it, the influence of their awards is at most large. China region. To put it bluntly and self-deprecatingly, those big-name Western stars simply dismiss these awards." Chen Kangjie said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't seem like Western stars are dismissive, and you don't think much of it. As far as I remember, you haven't attended those events once. I know that the Hong Kong Film Awards send you invitations every year. This It's no wonder, you said that those Western stars are dismissive, so how can you lower your status?" He Wanrong teased with a smile.

Chen Kangjie showed some ashamed expression, "It really has a little meaning in this respect. But it's not entirely true. I go to participate in these awards, and I don't have any competitors. If I just go to the red carpet and show my face in the media, I don't have the time and hobbies, I went to make others feel uncomfortable, and I tortured myself."

"Why would other people feel uncomfortable? That would raise the level of the ceremony all of a sudden. To be more realistic, the enthusiasm of the media would be much higher. If it doesn't work, why are all these big media coming to interview?" He Wanrong pursed her mouth and said in puzzlement.

"Hehe, the organizers are probably happy, but the local stars who participated may not be. Haha, I was stealing the limelight from others. Originally, the winners were going to be on the headlines, but in the end, the headlines all became me. How could they Can you not be angry? I offended people, and I don’t want to be seen. I still have this self-knowledge.” Chen Kangjie said with a smile.

"Hehe, you're really stinky." He Wanrong joked, "Don't tell me, it's very likely that's the case. If you go to Hong Kong to participate in these activities, there really is no one who can steal the limelight from you. It is estimated that even if I can appear in the newspaper, it will either be in a small corner or in the next few editions."

"Hehehe, hehehe, is it that exaggerated?" Chen Kangjie couldn't help laughing, and then he stopped smiling, "But don't say it, I'm very likely to go in the future. Some time ago, Jackie Chan asked me to go with him How about making a movie. If the cooperation is really successful, I guess I won’t be able to go if I don’t go. There are no works shortlisted before, so it makes sense not to go. Right? Haha."

"Really? To make a Chinese film? If there is such an opportunity, don't forget me. I will play the heroine. At worst, I don't want a salary." He Wanrong suddenly became excited.

Previously, Chen Kangjie's films were all Western films, and even if He Wanrong wanted to cooperate, there was basically no chance.If Chen Kangjie really intends to make some Chinese-language films, then she will have room to play. It is not entirely because of the film directed by Chen Kangjie that she can win awards. The main reason is that she really wants to cooperate with Chen Kangjie in movies. It can also be regarded as a commemoration and fulfillment of a wish, which is a happy thing.

"No salary? That would make people say that I bully you. I can do that kind of thing, but Fan Wenxuan can't. Don't even think about it, you are a double Grammy and Oscar winner, a well-known international star , How can you really do unpaid work? I’m worried that I won’t be able to afford your salary, I guess, your current salary should be the highest in Hong Kong, right?” Chen Kangjie laughed.

Chen Kangjie did not say this casually. He Wanrong has won almost all Hong Kong awards.In terms of social status, she has long been a first-line artist in Southeast Asia.Now that he has just won the Grammy Award, the price increase should not be increased by a large amount, right?This time, if she wins the Oscar again, with these two awards alone, even if her salary is double, triple, or even more than that of other first-line artists, it is not a big deal.Since she won two Grammy Awards, her endorsement fee has more than tripled. In the Chinese entertainment industry, apart from Chen Kangjie's endorsement fee, He Wanrong is the highest.After all, with her current name, products or services are not limited to Greater China or Southeast Asia, but can be promoted globally.Some time ago, Chanel came to the door and directly offered an advertising price of 500 million Hong Kong dollars.If you can sign a three-year contract, the cost will be staggeringly high.

"Why are you so sure that I will win the Oscar this time? It's just nominations now!" The list of Oscar winners will only be announced at the awards ceremony, so even if He Wanrong wants it, she can't be sure.Of course, if Chen Kangjie could give some predictions, she would still believe it.

"Hehe, if they don't give it to you, then they look down on me. They don't even think about who I am? They have to show me some face. I even took time out of my busy schedule to attend their activities." Chen Kangjie teased joked.

He Wanrong didn't laugh along with it, instead she felt a little melancholy, "It's true, my awards are basically all driven by you. Without you, I wouldn't have any glory."

"No, no, no, Sister Wanrong, I didn't mean that." Chen Kangjie heard something wrong with He Wanrong's voice, and felt that his words were somewhat ambiguous, so he quickly denied, "I really don't have self-promotion and solicitation for credit. I mean, I’ll just say that. This is a cooperation between our siblings, don’t even think about it, if you don’t have a sweet voice, if you don’t have a passionate performance, no matter what, no one will give you the award.”

He Wanrong wiped the hair hanging from her forehead, and broke into a smile, "Look at your nervous look, am I so stingy? So what if it's your credit? Who told me to have such an excellent brother while others don't?" What about it? This is a farm where the fat and water don’t flow to outsiders, if you really don’t help me, then I’ll be angry.”

"That's right, they still fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers in battle, we are good brothers and sisters who unite and cooperate. Speaking of it, you are still my teacher, and I am just your student." Chen Kangjie echoed.

As soon as Chen Kangjie said that He Wanrong was his teacher, He Wanrong's thoughts went back to 13 years ago, to the scene when she first met Chen Kangjie.Time and years have passed so long, but everything seems to have happened yesterday, and it can still be vividly remembered.At that time, Chen Kangjie was so immature and cute, but also so whimsical and intelligent.He Wanrong still remembers the scene where she saw Chen Kangjie explaining to her classmates what bravery is. The small guy, his tone and the look between his brows are just like a little adult.He Wanrong even remembers the scene of Chen Kangjie and her collaborating under the woods opposite the school, one singing and one recording.To be honest, at that time, Chen Kangjie's voice was still a little tone-deaf, and he also lacked confidence.But that didn't stop her from being surprised.Today, that immature boy has become the big guy in front of him, and the guy who knows nothing about music score is already the most famous musician in the world.

The 13 years, whether it is long or short, have passed in a flash.Thinking about the changes that have taken place, He Wanrong sometimes feels a little unreal, a little dreamy.That is to say, from the time when she got to know Chen Kangjie, He Wanrong changed from a music teacher in a remote area to a first-class artist who is famous in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Hey, things that were unthinkable before are now within reach.Life is alive once, what more can a husband ask for?Perhaps this is human chance and luck, and He Wanrong thinks her greatest chance and luck is that she worked as a music teacher at the Dizhong Mine Children's School during her internship, and met Chen Kangjie, a ghostly genius.
