Actor: Thank you.
Chapter 837 Competition
The next morning, Zhang Yuan showed up at the Magic City Race Track on time.
Since I didn't have time to handle this matter myself, I let Yang Siwei handle it in full according to the framework that had been set up in the previous two years.
But today he had to show up.
In addition to giving face to the eldest son of the Huo family, after all, this matter was proposed by him from the beginning, and he couldn't just ignore it.
Tens of millions of donations are raised for charity every year, and Young Master Huo shows up in person, so it would be a bit inappropriate for him not to come.
And this year is especially special.
In an Olympic year, everything related to sports is a big deal.
How can it not be a big deal if it’s supported by the country?
So not only did the eldest son of the Huo family come, he also brought a group of athletes to cheer him on.
Just like last year, we will hold a party together with Shanghai TV.
And now in its third year, there are more and more sponsors.
Audi and Lamborghini, which are also related to SAIC, brought their cars for display.
After all, they are all part of the Volkswagen Group.
I will also take part in the parade and do a test drive later.
Other brands are targeting the audience, but Lamborghini is targeting the contestants.
Because celebrities are important consumers of luxury cars.
What a cunning guy!
And it really works.
Guo Fucheng, who comes here every year, is a car lover.
After trying it, I ordered one on the spot.
This is the order.
Many celebrities also showed great interest.
Even Xiaolongnu was wearing sunglasses and looking curiously at an orange Niu.
Unlike her relatively quiet and peaceful appearance, she has always liked fancy and cool things.
"Aren't you interested?" Liu Qianqian asked when she saw that he was driving.
“This is the big toy.”
"Besides, I don't have time to drive."
This kind of car will make you feel dizzy and painful all over after driving it for half an hour.
And you can’t have a car...shake.
Why should I buy it?
After chatting with her for a few words, Yang Siwei came over.
"Mr. Ho is looking for you."
The fat woman was tired but happy.
It is not easy to organize such a big job.
But it also allows her to gain a large number of high-end connections.
This was something he could never get from Wang Jinhua.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
He turned to look at Xiao Long Nu again: "Tell me which one you like."
"Can I get a discount?" Liu Qianqian raised her head when she heard this.
"I can't give you a discount, but I will tell your mom to break your legs."
"Pooh……"
After some teasing, he headed for the VIP room.
After opening the door and entering, in addition to Mr. Hao, there was also a short man with a round face and a slightly sloping head.
Others didn't know, but Zhang Yuan recognized it at first glance.
"This is Mr. Li from Geely Automobile."
The person coming is Brother Shufu.
Geely is one of the earliest car companies in China to engage in racing.
We started to form a team and participate in competitions in 04.
In 06, they spent money to organize their own competition, called the "Super Ji League".
Brother Shushu is considered a die-hard car fan in China and a car lover who firmly supports racing sports.
In the future, proposals related to racing will continue to be put forward.
In his opinion, building a good car is inseparable from racing.
The decentralization of racing technology is the right way for the development of automobiles.
From the perspective of fuel vehicles, his understanding is correct.
Therefore, Geely will also be a leader among domestic gasoline vehicles in the future.
Brother Shufu came here just to discuss sponsorship and to raise some funds to organize a competition together.
"As Chinese people, we should support domestic brands and national enterprises." Zhang Yuan agreed after listening.
Such excellent entrepreneurial connections should not be wasted.
In the future, Geely, a giant company with a market value of over 100 billion yuan, is almost entirely controlled by Brother Shufu and is a family business with amazing dominance.
"But the Geely brand doesn't have any top sports models right now."
"Using your car to compete won't have much publicity effect."
"How about this, let's make a cooperation agreement."
"We provide people, free of charge, to serve as brand friends and promote your league."
It's impossible to pay, I don't have that much money.
The most he could do was to find someone to cheer and warm up the atmosphere, and then let his subordinates participate in activities like the All-Star Game.
Geely is still far from that now.
But you can't just ignore someone just because they can't do it now.
When they become successful in the future, will they still care about you?
Besides, Geely’s current so-called failure is only due to its low-end brand image, but its revenue and corporate scale are still very impressive.
Although Brother Shufu did not completely achieve his goal, seeing that he truly supported racing and was willing to contribute, he agreed with a smile.
The eldest son of the Huo family was left to discuss other cooperation matters with him.
Hoojia also has influence overseas and can help Geely's business and acquisition activities.
He had no right to interfere in this matter, so all he had to do was leave a good impression and do a favor.
Turned around and came to the rest area.
"Here I come!" Uncle Long walked forward with a gaited step and greeted him.
Today, not only him, but Li Lianjie also made a rare appearance.
Besides being a charity event, he was quite happy to participate, but the main reason was to promote "The Forbidden Kingdom".
Li Bingbing also came forward to greet him.
She was given a spot in the women's race today.
"Hello, Mr. Wang." Zhang Yuan saw Xiao Wang also coming and shook hands with him.
In addition to Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming also arranged a seat.
"Oh, I thought you weren't coming to film." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile on his face.
I feel mixed emotions.
Huayi's current film director, Chen Guofu, is a professional consultant for the Hong Kong Film Awards.
So he had already told the two brothers of the Wang family about Zhang Yuan winning the award.
Especially the inside story, that is, the matter of internal appointment.
When he heard from Chen Guofu that he had dealt with the Zhen Zidan matter, he became even more wary of his influence in the Hong Kong circle.
Because this has affected the cooperation between Huayi and the Hong Kong circle.
When Cross-Strait Film Industry announced its establishment, they had thought of this day.
But I didn't expect it to come so soon.
The two Wang brothers thought that it would take Zhang Yuan several years to completely deal with the scattered partners.
After discussing it, the two brothers decided to calm the boy down first.
So he came here in person today out of respect.
Little did they know that Zhang Yuan was so polite and made such good arrangements for Huayi's people, and took such good care of them just to stabilize the two brothers.
Both of them wanted to stabilize the other, so their relationship seemed extremely harmonious, as if they had returned to the time when they first met.
Now, there is a halftime break between them.
That's how things are in the world.
When you were weak, he smiled at you.
When you were growing up, he bared his teeth at you.
When he grows up, he will smile at you again.
"Huayi, if you need me, just let me know."
"As long as I have time, I will show up." Zhang Yuan said politely, and at the same time glanced at Liu Qianqian who was sipping Wahaha nearby.
If we don't maintain stability, things will be difficult in the future.
"I can't afford your current salary." Xiao Wang said jokingly and tentatively.
"What's the matter with pay? Huayi and I don't discuss pay." He said casually.
"Hahaha, then I'm taking it seriously. I'll be happy if I can't call you when the time comes."
Huang Xiaoming and Li Bingbing watched him talking with Xiao Wang.
"Look, now he is almost on par with the boss." Brother Xiao Ming said enviously.
"That's not the case." Li Bingbing is smarter than him.
The elder sister could see that if Zhang Yuan could really be on equal footing with Xiao Wang, he would not be so polite in speaking to the other party.
She looked around, and unlike previous years, there was no one lucky enough to arrive here today!
Zhang Yuan doesn't bear grudges, because if a grudge is taken he will not only take it on the spot, but also every day.
She knew that she and Xiao Ming's positions were snatched from Xiang Xingda's people.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Yuan deliberately did not even allow Yang Mi to come.
We have to adopt a completely opposing stance.
"If he is really better than the boss, just based on what happened with Yao Cheng, do you think he is so careful..." Li Bingbing was speaking when he noticed Zhang Yuan looking at him with the side of his eyes.
"With such a cautious...personality, he definitely won't take it seriously." She quickly changed the topic.
Is his hearing so good... Li Bingbing cleared his throat and turned his head away.
"Zhang Yuan, there is something I want to tell you." Just after he finished talking to Xiao Wang, Guo Fucheng, one of the four kings who participated in the competition every year and who had just ordered a new car, came to see him specially.
"Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"
Aaron Kwok is still quite stylish, with a blond middle-parted hair and a pair of red-lens sunglasses. He is just a little short.
I wanted to hook his shoulders and treat him as a brother, but because of the height difference, the action turned out to be a little funny.
"There's something I want to ask you."
"Are you going to make a movie called Ip Man?"
"You are well-informed. What's wrong?"
King Guo said with a silly smile.
"The heroine is my girlfriend."
"Help take care of it."
Things are not complicated.
The male and female protagonists of this film have already been decided, and the supporting roles are still being selected.
Zhen Zidan and Xiong Dailin.
Now Zhen Zidan has been taken away by him.
Xiong Dailin's position was achieved by King Guo with the help of his girlfriend.
Otherwise, how could Xiong Dailin, who was just a small model, be qualified to play the leading role in a movie?
It’s because she hooked up with Guo Fucheng during the filming of the MV and got the title of “King of Pop’s Wife”.
Although only temporarily.
Zhang Yuan even suspected that Miss Xiong had paid for this title herself.
Xiong Dailin's series of actions are basically the same as those of Jay Chou's ex-girlfriend, Ms. Hou.
First, he associated himself with a celebrity in the entertainment industry to create fame and raise his own value.
When she is almost done, she will run away and find a rich man to be her wife.
Miss Xiong finally married Kenneth Kwok, the younger brother of Miss Hong Kong and Hong Kong star Kenix Kwok.
The Guo family is the plastics king of Hong Kong. They are very powerful and their net worth is definitely higher than that of King Guo.
The gold diggers in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan all have a fixed growth trajectory, and their purpose is actually quite obvious.
But Guo Fucheng is confused now and cannot think so much.
Even he might not be really confused.
Boss Guo is well-known for being stingy in the Hong Kong circle.
But he only picks on his girlfriend and never on himself.
He spends millions of dollars on luxury cars, but he doesn't easily spend money on jewelry for his girlfriend.
Don’t even think about buying a car or a house.
The idea is still very clear.
Zhang Yuan understood it immediately.
By taking care of her, I mean don't replace her.
Zhang Yuan did not answer immediately, but said with a smile.
"In this way, I will also participate in the competition later."
"If you beat me, everything will be fine. How about that?"
“Look, you made your promise, don’t go back on your word!” Aaron Kwok pointed at him.
When it comes to driving, I have never been better than anyone in the entertainment industry... he thought.
He also recalled that in the past few years, Zhang Yuan was only ranked in the middle, neither good nor bad, and far behind himself.
"It's a word."
"It's a word."
After lunch, it was time for the afternoon session.
Zhang Yuan put on his racing suit, put on his helmet, and got into the prepared racing car.
"Dandan, have you taken care of the organizer?"
"I told you that I would save the video and give it to us."
"That's good."
boom!
After saying that, he started the car.
When walking out of the garage, Aaron Kwok stretched out his hand and greeted him.
Then, after the qualifying race, this person realized something was wrong!
"Almost a second faster than me?"
King Guo looked at the data displayed on the computer and found it unbelievable.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that it only takes about two minutes to run one lap.
But a difference of one second, if in a professional competition, means a difference in level.
"This isn't right."
"Wasn't it like this a few years ago?"
In the past few years, he kept it to himself.
After all, it’s not quite appropriate for the organizer to take first place.
But this year is a special case.
After the official start of the race, Guo Fucheng drove as hard as she could, almost stepping on the accelerator and pouring gas into the tank.
Zhang Yuan had never used this much strength when he kicked Teacher Yuan Quan...
But even so, he found that he could not catch up.
And the gap is gradually widening.
"No way!"
King Guo shouted in his heart.
And he who was following behind could see it clearly.
Zhang Yuan's operation at every corner is more extreme and smoother than his.
"Did he take medicine?"
"Or did you prepare a special meal before coming?"
King Guo didn’t understand at all.
All those years of playing with cars have been in vain.
He not only participated in amateur competitions and exhibition competitions, but also participated in several professional competitions.
Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Zhang Yuan's running method is similar to the route of the island country's touring car race.
And it's close to that of professional players.
It’s definitely not something I practiced as an amateur!
When the race was halfway through, even the taillights of Aaron Kwok’s car could no longer be seen.
The gap is too big!
"Okay, our contestant Zhang Yuan has crossed the finish line!"
"Congratulations to him for winning the men's championship in this charity celebrity racing event!"
The commentators are still the same as before, and Han Han is still there.
He whispered to the Magic City Sports Station teacher beside him.
"I said a few years ago that his running style is professional."
"Why are your grades so bad?"
"Look, now you're exposed!"
King Guo won the second place.
But he found that he crossed the finish line half a minute later than Zhang Yuan.
On average, he was more than one second ahead of him per lap.
He was not happy about getting the runner-up title, and was even a little depressed.
The gap is too big!
"Brother Cheng." Zhang Yuan took off his gloves and found his side.
"The thing I mentioned before..."
“I know, you are faster than me and you should keep your word. It’s up to you.” Aaron Kwok was quite sensible and didn’t argue too much.
"No, you misunderstood."
"I mean, Miss Xiong is your girlfriend, and we are friends. I must take care of her."
This time it was his turn to talk while hooking his arm around the other person's shoulder.
I have always been very caring towards other people's girlfriends.
I also visited Brother Xiao Ming’s future girlfriend, no, I took care of her.
But Xiong Dailin really intended to take good care of her.
Because the film "Ip Man" was still led by the Hong Kong team, and the male and female protagonists were replaced by mainlanders, it is easy for those Hong Kong bosses to get emotional.
People are always compromising, and Zhang Yuan also has to take their feelings into consideration.
Besides, if the male and female leading actors are both from mainland China, they will not be able to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards, one of the three major awards, which will be detrimental to their own income.
So from the very beginning, he had no intention of replacing Xiong Dailin.
The reason why he acted like he wanted to make a bet first was actually the same as how he dealt with Ye Weixing yesterday.
I agreed directly, and Aaron Kwok would just think I was good.
He comes to the competition and I give him benefits, and we are just equal.
But now, he lost the bet, and I am still taking care of his girlfriend. It feels different!
"Wow!"
Guo Fucheng smiled and patted his shoulder hard.
"Okay!"
"I remember."
"Come to Hong Kong later and I'll take you hiking."
"I just happened to order a new car, so we can test drive it together then."
"must."
The conditions achieved in the end are the same, but the processes are different, so the results will be different.
Why not take this opportunity to improve your personal relationship with Aaron Kwok?
Stand on the podium, spray champagne, and participate in a series of post-race celebrations, audience meetings and interactive activities.
You also have to have dinner with the stars who come to participate in the event to build relationships with them.
He did not return to the set of Painted Skin until the next morning.
As a result, he was shocked shortly after arriving... (End of this chapter)
