After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 639 Reassurance

Jia Qingwen said with a smile, "It's our own Spring Festival Gala on Red Star TV. Zhou TV is the chief producer and director of our Spring Festival Gala."

"That's still quite an achievement!"

Zhang Huamei then realized what was happening.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Jin Suo studies in Haigang, so she can be considered half a Haigang local. Haigang's Spring Festival Gala should prioritize giving opportunities to its own people."

"That would be great!"

Zhang Huamei was naturally more than willing.

She was initially hesitant, not wanting her daughter to go down this path, but when she encountered the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, she didn't want to miss it and was determined to fight for it for her daughter.

“However…” Zhang Huamei hesitated, “We never intended for Jin Suo to pursue an artistic path when she was young, nor did we teach her to sing or dance, let alone play any musical instruments.”

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "It's okay, we can just lip-sync. I'll invite the original singer of 'Rain Butterfly,' the theme song of 'Princess Pearl,' to come and sing the song with her. With a professional singer leading the way, there won't be any problems."

The Spring Festival Gala on Hongxing TV primarily invites its own people as guest artists.

The copyright of "Rain Butterfly" belongs to Huaxing Records, a subsidiary of Tangren Records.

First, go to the recording studio and have the original singer and Jin Suo record the song. Then, have an excellent sound engineer adjust the pitch, vocal tone, and other aspects.

On the day of the party, all you need to do is lip-sync.

These large-scale galas are mostly lip-synced.

"Thank you for your guidance, Zhou Tai!"

Zhang Huamei was very happy. Her daughter had the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, even if it was just a local TV station's Gala, which would be enough to make her proud.

This opportunity is even better than filming "My Fair Princess"!
Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Of course, as I said, among the actors in 'My Fair Princess,' my favorite is Jin Suo."

Zhang Huamei's expression was somewhat complicated.

She's over forty years old and has been working in the arts for two or three decades. She has so much social experience that she understands all too well the profound meaning behind this so-called "appreciation."

Fortunately, this Zhou Tai looks handsome and is not very old.

It feels pretty good.

Jia Qingwen chuckled and said, "Zhou Tai, we were just talking about this. Ms. Zhang wants you to be Jin Suo's godfather. What do you think?"

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was taken aback. "Godfather?"

"no……"

Zhang Huamei's face suddenly flushed red.

She had assumed that Zhou Tai was an older leader, but he turned out to be so young, and didn't look much older than Jin Suo.

This is inappropriate!

"Taking Jin Suo as a goddaughter isn't out of the question. Like I said, of all the actresses in 'My Fair Princess,' Jin Suo is my favorite. She has potential and talent, and with the right resources, she'll definitely become one of the most popular stars in China!"

Zhou Haoran seemed oblivious to her passivity and embarrassment, and immediately took the ladder that Jia Qingwen offered, starting to climb up.

"what?"

Zhang Huamei was somewhat bewildered.

I was going to refuse, but when this opportunity was presented to me, I couldn't say anything. I didn't want to miss such a valuable chance.

Jia Qingwen, standing to the side, analyzed the situation rationally: "Becoming a star is such a difficult path. Actresses in this industry are like prey, being watched by so many people... If you don't agree, you won't get a single role."

Zhou Haoran nodded and said sincerely, "That's true. I have a friend named Wang Qingqiu, who graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. It's because she doesn't accept some of the practices in this industry that she hasn't been able to get opportunities. If I hadn't arranged for her to sign with Tangren Media, she probably wouldn't have any film contracts by now."

"So, Zhou Tai, you have to help this time."

As Jia Qingwen spoke, she gently nudged Zhang Huamei with her arm and gave her a look.

Zhang Huamei understood and sighed softly, saying, "Zhou Tai, as parents, we are worried every day that our daughter is going down this path, afraid that she will be bullied in the future. We can't stop Jin Suo from going down this path, but we hope that she can have a powerful backer who can protect her in times of need."

Zhou Haoran agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "That's true. If you don't have someone to rely on, you can't survive in this industry... Honestly, if you're not mentally strong, you won't be able to live. So many people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have committed suicide."

Jia Qingwen persuaded, "Zhou Tai, why don't you help out and become Jin Suo's godfather? Sister Zhang and I are good friends, please take care of me!"

“I’m fine with it, I’ve always liked Jin Suo, but this matter…” Zhou Haoran had to respect the opinion of her mother. “Ms. Zhang, what do you think about this?”

"I……"

Zhang Huamei hesitated for a moment.

Everything else is easy to say.

Once you enter this line of work, it's impossible to maintain your chastity. Staying by Zhou Tai's side at least keeps you from all the mess outside and prevents you from becoming a disgraced figure.

But Zhou Tai is too young.

This father-daughter relationship isn't suitable either!

"Please speak!"

Jia Qingwen sounded exasperated, her tone anxious, and she kept giving her meaningful glances.

Zhang Huamei made up her mind. She felt that since Editor-in-Chief Jia had been helping so diligently, it would be a disservice to his kindness if she backed down. So she quickly said, "Director Zhou, if you think highly of Jin Suo and are willing to give her a chance, then our whole family will naturally agree."

Zhou Haoran nodded and said, "That's fine then... So, Zhang, ask Jin Suo later and see what she thinks. If she's willing, bring her to see me."

"Alright, alright, I'll bring her to see you after this segment is finished recording!"

Zhang Huamei basically doesn't need to consult her daughter's opinion. Now her daughter is so obsessed with becoming a star that she doesn't care about anything else and only wants to be a star.

Jia Qingwen said with a smile, "Sister Zhang, that's good now. You don't have to worry about things back home... If things really don't work out, just go home. Jin Suo is studying in the harbor, and Zhou Tai is taking care of her. You don't need to stay here to accompany her."

"Yes, haha." Zhang Huamei's expression was complicated, and her feelings were even more complicated.

As someone who's been through it all, what can't she understand?

He won't accompany his daughter to study in the harbor anymore, and will entrust her to Zhou Tai... This man and woman alone together, if they spend a lot of time together, they will definitely have very intimate contact, and it will be impossible to keep their innocence.

However, she understood everything.

Why is Zhou Tai so good to his daughter? Why did he take her in as his goddaughter and provide her with so many valuable opportunities, wanting to make her a big star? His words made it very clear that he had his eye on Jin Suo.

To accept or not to accept...

Zhang Huamei was really having a hard time making a decision.

Fortunately, he had a strategist, Jia Qingwen, by his side.

After Zhou Tai left, Jia Qingwen whispered, "What's wrong with you? I brought you to see Zhou Tai, why aren't you being enthusiastic at all?"

"I……"

Zhang Huamei also realized that she hadn't been enthusiastic enough just now, and that she had too many thoughts.

Jia Qingwen said somewhat angrily, "I've created so many opportunities for you, but you don't even know how to take the initiative to seize them."

“I’m sorry, I…” Zhang Huamei sighed deeply, her expression troubled, “Zhou Tai means that he has taken a liking to Jin Suo, he should be…”

"Shouldn't this be?" Jia Qingwen looked at her in surprise. "Don't you even know this? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"I know, it's..."

Zhang Huamei sighed, torn between two options, mainly because she couldn't bear to part with her daughter.

Jia Qingwen whispered, "Isn't it better to be by Zhou Tai's side than to struggle alone? How many actresses have to sleep with even a production assistant or a lighting technician for a chance..."

"I know, you don't have to tell me."

Zhang Huamei interrupted her, unable to bear such words. Thinking about her daughter's future career in this industry, she had been burying her head in the sand, ignoring this kind of news for some time.

Jia Qingwen said, "In our company, many female colleagues are like crazy, constantly flirting with Zhou Tai, writing him letters and sending him gifts and such... Sigh, let me tell you the truth, Zhou Tai is not as simple as you think!"

“I can guess it, otherwise he wouldn’t have become a leader at such a young age.”

Zhang Huamei thought he was some kind of powerful or wealthy person.

Jia Qingwen said, "You decide for yourself!"

When will the recording of the show finish?

Zhang Huamei took a deep breath; she had made up her mind.

The house is on fire.

She was with her daughter at the harbor, while her lover had no other woman by his side, so naturally other vixens came to seduce him... On one hand, she had to protect her daughter, and on the other hand, she had to go home to put out the fire.

She simply couldn't be in two places at once.

If Jin Suo had a godfather and could entrust her daughter to him... at least the family could return to stability and avoid divorce.

Jia Qingwen said, "The recording went quite smoothly today. I estimate that it will be finished around 9 p.m. tonight... or at the latest 10 p.m.."

"After the recording, could you treat Zhou Tai to a meal? I'll bring Jin Suo along."

Zhang Huamei felt that this was the best solution.

Jia Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had basically completed the task assigned by her master. She chuckled and asked, "You've agreed. Can Jin Suo accept it?"

“She listens to me, we agreed on that beforehand.” Zhang Huamei has a fairly good grasp of her daughter’s abilities. “I support her pursuing her dream of acting, but she has to follow my arrangements. We agreed on that.”

Originally, when filming "My Fair Princess", Jin Suo's role was initially intended to be Ziwei.

It was later replaced.

To appease her, Jin Suo, a maid with many scenes, was added to Ziwei's side.

Jin Suo got a little grumpy at the time, and since she had been relegated from the lead role to a maid, she didn't want to continue acting.

Later, Zhang Huamei felt it was a rare opportunity and allowed her daughter to undergo the adjustment.

She played the role of Jin Suo.

As it turns out, this path was absolutely the right one.

I hope...

This choice was correct.

Zhang Huamei was still feeling uneasy, after all, this time the girl's chastity was at stake.

Jia Qingwen comforted her, "That's good. Trust me, staying by Zhou Tai's side... I guarantee this will be the best decision you've ever made! Jin Suo will be secure from now on! Do you know how many female celebrities in Hong Kong want to get into Zhou Tai's bed but can't find a way?"

"Huh?" Zhang Huamei was taken aback. "Zhou Tai has connections in the Hong Kong government?"

Jia Qingwen smiled and said, "With Hong Kong's return to China, its entertainment industry naturally needs to return as well. Many Hong Kong films and dramas of the past have produced content that smears the mainland; this is unacceptable and requires a comprehensive overhaul. Who will take over the Hong Kong government's entertainment industry and guide it onto the right path?"

Zhang Huamei was taken aback. "Is it Zhou Tai?"

Jia Qingwen pursed her lips. "Sister Zhang, I told you, if you believe me this time, you'll be laughing in your sleep from now on! You'll see more and more of Zhou Tai's mysterious magic in the future."

"Well, I believe you!"

Zhang Huamei was finally completely reassured.

I'm not going to dwell on it anymore!
