Chapter 196 Stronger than my son

……

"Uncle Long."

Gu Qing walked over.

Facing a group of big names and investors in the front row.

Some I don't recognize, some I do.

He always nodded politely.

"Uncle Long?"

This left Feng Kuzi, who had been keeping a straight face, dumbfounded.

So you're related?!

No wonder the older brother smiled without saying a word when he heard him scoff.

I grass!

Even with his thick skin, he was still a little embarrassed and his face twitched at this moment.

"Gu Qing, right? You sing quite well, young man."

Feng Kuzi smiled and praised, "He's better than my two good-for-nothing sons."

Li Yifeng: "..."

Chris Wu: "..."

Dad, isn't our attitude changing a little too quickly?

"Thank you, Director Feng."

Gu Qing was surprised and expressed her gratitude.

"Gu Qing, does your family have a family that performs opera?"

Uncle Long chuckled and glanced at Feng Kuzi, then pulled Gu Qing's hand, making room for her in half a seat, "Come and sit down."

"Uncle Long, I learned it on my own with a teacher."

Gu Qing wasn't intimidated and sat on the stool's support.

"How can someone who's self-taught sing this well?"

Uncle Long asked in surprise, "Which Peking Opera master did you learn from?"

"Uncle Long, I sing Huizhou opera."

Gu Qing said helplessly, "Our Anhui Opera is the best. Your Peking Opera copied us. How can a master act like an apprentice?"

"You...you really dare to say that."

Uncle Long was amused. "You know I sing Peking Opera?"

The more he looked at Gu Qing, the more he liked her.

Humorous, witty, handsome, and a genius.

She was practically the 'sweetheart' of his dreams.

I'll put you in the same league as Leehom!
"I know, I saw you sing 'Man Jiang Hong' on the show 'Tonight No Taboos' when I was watching videos."

Gu Qing replied.

"No Holds Barred Tonight? That's an old show that's been around for years, you've even seen that before?"

Uncle Long was extremely surprised.

This program was created in 1989 on ATV, hosted by three famous talented men, and featured interviews with various big-name celebrities.

The program is extremely explicit, featuring smoking, drinking, and profanity, and is therefore considered an interview program suitable for adults.

It was a groundbreaking debut at the time, and the ratings were incredibly high.

"Uncle Long, you are my idol, of course I know that."

Gu Qing just wanted to say that this was nothing.

By the time of his time,
Uncle Jackie Chan has become a role model for all men, and various early interviews have been dug up and edited into videos.

Some of his words have even been regarded as scripture.

Its originally terrible reputation has become incredibly good in an environment of extreme gender antagonism.

What Hui opera pieces can you sing?

Now, Uncle Long truly believed that Gu Qing had been his fan since childhood.

"I only learned three pieces in total: 'The Drunken Beauty,' 'Zhaojun's Departure from the Frontier,' and 'The Legend of the Dragon.' Oh, and there's also the Huangmei Opera piece 'The Fairy Tale.'"

Gu Qing expressed her annoyance, "People always say 'The Fairy Couple' as soon as they hear I sing Hui opera. I'm just taking precautions against that."

"Haha, these are all songs for female roles in Peking Opera. I used to sing female roles too."

Uncle Long found it a bit strange, "Where are you from?"

"From Anhui Province."

"I am also half from Anhui Province, and our Anhui Province can be considered to have produced many young celebrities."

If he could see the favorability rating, Uncle Long would have maxed it out for Gu Qing in no time.

He is a very old-fashioned person.

Most of the team's closest assistants share the surname 'Chen' or are from the same hometown.

He truly believes that they were one family 500 years ago.

He met a young man who caught his eye, and it turned out that he was so similar to him, with many things in common, and that he was from the same hometown.

The various buffs are almost fully stacked.

The cameras focused on the elderly man and the young man, who were chatting happily, and the fans screamed continuously.

"Gu Qing, don't rush to leave after the Golden Horse Awards. I've arranged a dinner party, so please come over."

Uncle Long glanced at the screen, knowing that the awards ceremony was the most important thing. "You go back first, I'll send someone to pick you up when I get back."

After all,

Without saying a word, he patted Gu Qing on the shoulder and then got up to go on stage to present the award.

"Brother, what did your older brother say to you? You two have been talking for so long?"

When Gu Qing returned, Lu Yang was so shocked that his eyes popped out of their sockets.

"We chatted about traditional opera. Uncle Long was very interested in it and told me to come to his place for a meal after the awards ceremony."

Along the way, Gu Qing received many surprised and envious glances from celebrities.

"Have a meal?!"

"Big Brother's dinner party?!"

Lu Yang was speechless and admired his younger brother's incredible luck.

However, it's unreasonable to call it luck.

If Gu Qing doesn't seriously study acting and singing for filming, she won't be able to seize the opportunities that come her way.

"Third brother, we older brothers will probably have to rely on you from now on."

"I now believe that you will become an international superstar faster than Director Lu."

Zhang Zheng and Wang Qianyuan were deeply moved.

Can someone who can dine at the elder brother's dinner party be an ordinary person?
Anyone you randomly pick is a highly respected investor or a famous director, someone who's at the top of the food chain in the industry.

Even just getting in touch with one person and building a good relationship can bring resources that other small and medium-sized artists can only dream of.

quickly,

All four major awards were won by other winners.

The Best Actor award went to Feng Kuzi for "Mr. Six," while the Best Actress award was surprisingly won by Lin Jiaxin for "Zero Days."

Hou Xiaoxian won Best Director again after Cannes and won Best Film for the first time at the Golden Horse Awards. "The Assassin" won five awards and became the biggest winner.

In particular, Feng Xiaogang's speech when he won the Best Actor award was very interesting.

They directly teased Chris Wu's fans, suggesting they stop calling him "little fresh meat" and instead call him "little master".

Feng Kuzi believes that the term "little fresh meat" is mocking and disrespectful, while "young master" sounds more dignified.

He addressed the female fans at the scene as "daughter-in-law" and even made them shout, "Young master!"

At the same time, they praised Kris Wu to the skies.

They believe that although he is very popular, he is very humble and eager to learn on set, and he has great respect for his seniors.

Feng Kuzi also stated that Chris Wu is very serious about acting, not for the money, but because he genuinely loves acting.

For those who don't know,
I thought he had won the Best Actor award.

The camera focused on Kris Wu's face.
In the eyes of fans,
Fanfan, the innocent young man, had already blushed deeply with embarrassment.

The Golden Horse Awards are nearing their end.
A staff member dressed in a low-key black suit and wearing the iconic badge of Uncle Long's team came to Gu Qing's side and said, "Brother Gu, let's go backstage."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing nodded to Lu Yang, Zhang Zheng, Wang Qianyuan, and Liu Shishi, saying, "Brother Lu, eldest brother, second brother, and sister Shishi, I'm leaving now."

"Go on, seize the opportunity!" Lu Yang patted his arm, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Hey bro, take it easy!" Zhang Zheng reminded him with a smile.

Wang Qianyuan then made a "phone call" gesture.

Liu Shishi looked at Gu Qing, seemingly wanting to say something. She had originally planned to find a place to eat and celebrate with Gu Qing after the awards ceremony.

But at that moment, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

She knew all too well what a dinner party in her brother's circle meant, and she also knew how rare it was for Gu Qing to be invited. She couldn't, and shouldn't, use her own small gathering to delay him.

In the end, all the words he wanted to say were reduced to a single, concerned admonition.

"Brother, make sure your assistant is waiting at the door."

She knew Gu Qing didn't like drinking, but she also knew that in social situations of this caliber, in front of those bigwigs and investors, it was often impossible to say "I won't drink."

Saying goodbye to everyone,

Gu Qing arrived at the somewhat noisy backstage area.

This place is where important figures and their entourages who have not yet left have gathered.

The center of the crowd
Uncle Long was chatting and laughing with Feng Kuzi and several other people who looked like seasoned investors.

Feng Kuzi had a warm smile on his face.

Behind him stood Kris Wu.

He tried his best to maintain a polite smile on his young and handsome face, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused. Clearly, even as a top star, he had no right to interrupt in this situation.

When Feng Kuzi brought him along, his intention to "shamelessly" make it all too clear—he wanted to take the opportunity to push him into the core network of contacts.

Uncle Long caught a glimpse of Gu Qing approaching out of the corner of his eye, and his smile immediately became even brighter.

He interrupted his conversation with an investor next to him, extended his hand directly to Gu Qing, and warmly greeted her: "Gu Qing, come here."

Under the curious gaze of the crowd,
Uncle Long pulled Gu Qing to his side with remarkable ease, his arm expertly around Gu Qing's shoulder.

He laughed loudly, "Let me introduce you. This is a young man from my hometown. His abilities speak for themselves. You heard the song he just performed."

"You're very talented. Please take good care of me in the future."

"So Gu Qing is from your hometown, brother."

"We will definitely take good care of you in the future."

"This child is so beautiful, no wonder she's so popular."

These people were smiling very kindly.

As one of the top celebrities, Gu Qing was qualified to join the fray, and everyone shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with him.

Kris Wu is losing control of his facial expressions.

So, am I not a top influencer?

Ever since this man learned that he was from out of town,

The initial enthusiasm suddenly turned cold.

Nonsense, why would we fawn over a foreigner instead of our own people?
"Alright, everyone's here, let's go."

Uncle Long waved his hand, put his arm around Gu Qing's shoulder, and took the first step.

The group, in a grand procession, boarded the car surrounded by assistants and bodyguards.

We went to a fancy restaurant for a meal.
The dinner party was filled with smoke, laughter, and angry banter.

Everyone was flushed and drunk, a far cry from their previous respectable selves.

"Come on, come on, let's eat!"

"Eat more, this dish tastes good."

"Would you like another serving?"

Uncle Long patted Gu Qing on the shoulder, watching him eat with a big smile, sweating profusely. He then took care of everyone at the dinner party, making sure everything was in order, while he himself barely touched his chopsticks.

"Come on, Xiao Gu, let's have a drink."

A drunken middle-aged man came over with a glass of wine, but when he saw the white coconut juice in Gu Qing's hand, his eyes widened and he said with dissatisfaction, "Damn, why are you drinking this at a drinking party?"

"Come on, drink!"

As he spoke, he filled up both a small and a small glass of wine.

"Ten million for a cup. How much you drink, I'll invest in your next movie."

Before Gu Qing could speak,

"Get out of here! A singer's voice is too precious to be allowed to drink alcohol!"

Uncle Long poured the liquor into his own bowl and laughed, saying, "If you really want him to drink, I'd rather drink it myself. If I take a sip, you'll invest ten million in my movie?"

"Big brother, please stop joking around."

The man sobered up instantly and chuckled awkwardly, trying to salvage the situation: "I won't make any money back on what I've invested."

"Hahaha--"

The laughter at the drinking party grew even louder.

"Uncle Long, thank you."

After the person left, Gu Qing thanked him quietly.

"It's okay, just eat well. It's good that you don't smoke or drink. Don't follow their example."

Uncle Long smiled and put another piece of meat on his plate.

Elders of his age prefer well-behaved and gluttonous younger generations.

Until the end of the dinner,

Gu Qing didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but he drank his fill of coconut milk and added a lot of people's contact information.

Chris Wu, on the other hand, is completely different.
Feng Kuzi would ask everyone he met to toast him, and when he met a female producer, he would even ask her to dance.

Kris Wu was really about to throw up.

The reason for vomiting

I don't know if it was the alcohol or the old lady.
