Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 134, Isn't This Huang Bo? [5 more monthly tickets requested]

The prelude is "Blue Lotus".

At that time, DJs were not popular in bars, and most of the singers performing there were from Beijing.

Well-known singers such as Zero Point Band, Pu Shu, and Sha Baoliang have all worked as resident singers in bars.

"Nothing can stop

your yearning for freedom
An unrestricted career

Your heart is free from worries..."

"In the past year, your songs have become popular in various bars," said Qian Guosheng.

"It's popular not only in bars, but also in karaoke bars, KTVs, and ice skating rinks," Fang Wanhua followed.

However, Shen Lang was looking at the resident singer on the stage in surprise. Isn't this Huang Bo?

Many people don’t know that Huang Bo first debuted as a singer.

Huang Bo's parents are both cadres. They have always hoped that he would study hard and become an intellectual like themselves when he grows up. However, the reality goes against their wishes and his academic performance is a mess.

It is said that when God closes a door, he will give you a window. Although Huang Bo was not good at studying, he was very interested in music. He began to perform in dance halls in junior high school, and in high school he became one of the first bar singers in China.

Later, he signed a contract with a record company in Yangcheng and debuted with Mao Ning and Yang Yuying. Among the three, Huang Bo was the only one who did not become popular.

At the age of 22, Huang Bo chose to return to his hometown of Qingdao. With the help of his parents, he opened a factory that manufactured brand-name shoes and gradually accumulated some funds. However, the financial crisis in 1997 made him lose everything.

It was not until 2000 that director Guan Hu planned to shoot the movie "Get on the Bus". There was a role that required an ugly actor with a Qingdao accent. After some screening, they did not find a suitable candidate, so his childhood friend Gao Hu recommended Huang Bo, who had no acting experience.

After the filming of this drama, Huang Bo became interested in movies. Gao Hu told him that if he wanted to develop in the film industry for a long time, it would be best for him to go to a film academy for further studies. So he decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy.

In order to save money for tuition and living expenses, Huang Bo continued to do his old job and performed in a bar.

After the song was finished, Qian Guosheng commented: "It was a good song."

Fang Wanhua shrugged and said, "It's just okay. Not all bar singers are at this level."

Shen Lang didn't say anything, just looked at Huang Bo, wondering what he was thinking.

Qian Guosheng called the waiter over, counted out a few hundred-dollar bills, gave tips and ordered some songs, and wanted to listen to "Prose Poems Written for My Father".

Fang Wanhua glared at him, as if to say, the original singer is here, why are you still spending money to listen to someone else sing.

"In 1984 the harvest had not yet been harvested.

My son sleeps so sweetly in my arms
I don't have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight.
My wife reminded me to fix the pedal of the sewing machine..."

"Talent is more important than appearance", this sentence may be the true portrayal of Huang Bo's charm.

Among the dazzling stars in the entertainment industry, he stands out with his unique charm and versatile talents.

Not only has he won the love of countless audiences as an excellent actor, but he has also left a deep footprint on the road of music.

What’s interesting is that Huang Bo’s popularity in the entertainment industry has been growing day by day thanks to his unique Qingdao accent, and he has won the favor of many top resources, but when he sings, there is no obvious accent.

As for how well he sings, that depends on personal opinion, but at least he has passed the threshold of a professional singer.

After finishing the song, Qian Guosheng shook his head and said, "Hmm... this song should be sung by Alang."

Fang Wanhua yawned, looked at the watch on her wrist, and said, "It's late, let's go back."

After saying that, the couple looked at Shen Lang.

"Wait for me." Shen Lang stood up and walked towards the stage. When he came to Huang Bo's side, he smiled and said, "You sang well."

Huang Bo was stunned for a few seconds when he saw him. He was so surprised that he stuttered and said, "You... Shen..."

Shen Lang made a "hush" gesture and said, "My film and television company has several dramas in preparation. If you are interested, call me after the New Year and tell me that I asked you to find him."

After saying that, he gave Huang Bo a business card and left quickly.

Huang Bo was confused and even pinched his thigh to see if he was dreaming. "Did you see that? Was that Shen Lang just now?" he asked the people around him.

"like……"

"Fuck, it's really Shen Lang!"

"What about people?"

However, Shen Lang was already driving and on his way to take Qian Guosheng and Fang Wanhua back to the hotel.

Huang Bo came back to his senses and looked at the business card in his hand. It read - Julang Films Ninghao.

He applied to the Beijing Film Academy, so how could he not know this senior, Shen Lang's exclusive MV director, who even won an award for the MV for "Fairy Tale".

"Looking for me to film?"

Huang Bo couldn't believe it.

"I……"

Huang Bo wants to say that I’m famous?
Although the film "Get on the Bus, Let's Go" won the Best TV Film Award at the 21st China Film Golden Rooster Awards, the first prize at the 1st Digital Film Lily Award and the China Film Huabiao Award last year.

But winning the award did not change his life at all. As for acting, let alone getting a role, he could hardly get a role even by waiting in front of the Beijing Film Studio. As for singing, no one had seen the movie, let alone knew who he was.

Accident, absolutely an accident.

Huang Bo carefully put away the business card.

No matter how Shen Lang knew him.

This is an opportunity and he wants to seize it.

At the same time, in the car.

Qian Guosheng asked jokingly, "Alang, you're not going to make him a singer, are you?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "We can try this later. Brother Qian, what do you think of his image?"

Qian Guosheng said simply and horrified: "Ugly."

"The kind that wouldn't even give him a second glance if he were in a crowd?" Shen Lang laughed even harder, then stopped smiling after a moment and said, "In our movie Blind Shaft, do you think it would be inappropriate to let him play a miner?"

Qian Guosheng blurted out, "Isn't he a resident singer in the bar? How did you get involved in filming?"

Shen Lang then explained that the movie Huang Bo starred in had just won an award.

Hearing this, Qian Guosheng smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

Fang Wanhua spoke up and said, "Now that you mention it, it does not seem out of place for him to play a miner."

Of course, Shen Lang didn’t just want Huang Bo to star in "Blind Well", he just didn’t say much.

The combination of Ning Hao and him is worth cultivating.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the billionaire actor is a cash cow.

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh that tonight's drinking party was well organized.

Not only did it determine the investment in film and television cities and theaters.

I also met Huang Bo by chance.

Qian Guosheng and Fang Wanhua always said that he was their benefactor.

Looking back now, they were also his benefactors.

Lu Xun once said: "It is enough to have one bosom friend in life, and we should treat each other with the same feeling. One is very difficult to find, and two is even more difficult to find."

Qian Guosheng and Fang Wanhua are included.
