Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 170 Adopting a Goddaughter

The 1994 version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has two theme songs: one is "Go with the Flow" by James Wong, and the other is the classic "Swords Like Dreams".

There are three ending theme songs, among which "I Love the Country More Than the Beauty" is the best.

Of course, "Looking at Each Other in Pairs" is also good.

Since there was money to be made, Cao Jian naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony and immediately said, "I've already written the opening and ending theme songs before filming starts."

"An unexpected bonus."

The director and others were both surprised and delighted to hear that this composing genius was going to write two songs at once.

After leaving TTV, Cao Jian spent the next period of time taking Li Xiaoran, Yuan Jieying, and others around to have fun.

When she has nothing to do, she goes to find Wang Zuxian for a date, and things have progressed to the point where they hug and kiss.

Wang Zuxian has also confronted Qi Qin and broken up with him.

Cao Jian is now just waiting for the right opportunity to taste the flavor of this number one beauty in Asia.

In early July, there were still ten days before filming of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was scheduled to begin.

Mr. Cao wasn't in a hurry to write the theme song. He ate and played as usual, since he hadn't spent the 30 million NT dollars he got for free anytime soon.

During this period, Huang Jiaju's injury dominated the headlines of entertainment news in major newspapers and television stations.

Because Warner was going to sue Fuji Television, claiming that Huang Jiaju's injury was their fault, the television station initially denied it.

In a fit of anger, Warner released the video provided by Cao Jian.

The television reporter also obtained the video footage, which was then broadcast on television.

Fuji Television was completely dumbfounded. They never expected that someone would have filmed a video that day.

This caused an uproar in the public. It turned out that Huang Jiaju's injury was due to Fuji Television's inaction.

Many angry fans protested directly in front of Fuji TV, demanding justice for their idols and asking the station for compensation and an apology.

Meanwhile, some people unexpectedly recognized that the person who discovered the safety hazard and brought it up seemed to be Cao Jian, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although he was wearing a mask, I could tell it was him just by his voice, and even his build was similar.

This discovery was also reported in the newspapers, which immediately made Cao Jian famous.

This Mr. Cao actually managed to spot the problem and even blamed the TV station. If it weren't for him, who knows what might have happened.

Huang Jiaju's injury might be more serious.

Under this influence, people not only began to look forward to Cao Jian's next album, but also to his film "Fang Shiyu Sequel".

There were also fans of Beyond and Cao Jian who, upon hearing that their idols were preparing to film "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," flocked to the set, eager to catch a glimpse of their idols—they were practically offering their love and support.

This makes TTV even more determined to make this drama a success, given its current fame.

But just as Cao Jian was waiting for the machine to start, he suddenly received a phone call. The caller was a little girl.

"Brother Cao Jian, do you still remember me?"

"who are you?"

The other person spoke Cantonese, and the voice was crisp and clear, but Cao Jian couldn't immediately recall who it was.

“I’m Zhang Baizhi, don’t you remember? You gave me your business card.”

"Zhang Baizhi, it's you. What's up?"

Cao Jian then remembered that he had indeed given Zhang Baizhi, who was still in elementary school, his business card last year.

He forgot about it later, but unexpectedly the little girl called.

“Brother Cao Jian, my mom is taking me to study in Australia. I don’t want to be separated from my classmates here, and I don’t want to go to a place where I don’t know anyone. Nobody can help me right now, and my dad doesn’t care. I saw the news these past two days and thought of you. I think you can help me.”

The little girl's thoughts were simple; she didn't want to go abroad, so she had to find someone to speak on her behalf.

Before Cao Jian could speak, Zhang Baizhi continued, "My mother really likes your songs, she'll probably listen to you."

"That's it."

Upon hearing this request, Cao Jian couldn't help but chuckle.

Why are they all asking me for help with this?

However, it seems normal for a child to think this way, which also shows that she has always kept her business card.

Considering that Cecilia Cheung is a promising actress and quite beautiful, it would be nice to adopt her as a goddaughter.
He immediately agreed, "Give me your phone number, and I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"Brother Cao Jian, you're so kind! No wonder so many of my classmates like you." Zhang Baizhi's words became sweet as he heard Cao Jian agree.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Jian booked a flight to Hong Kong for the next day, and arrived at Zhang Bai's house at noon the following day.

Zhang Baizhi's parents divorced, and he grew up in a single-parent family, but his family situation was still quite good.

Zhang Baizhi had been waiting for Cao Jian's call all day. When he heard that the person who spoke up for him had arrived, he immediately ran downstairs to greet him.

"Brother Cao Jian, you've arrived."

The girl blinked her big, bright eyes and called out sweetly with excitement.

Today, she wore a pink dress, her long, smooth hair cascading over her shoulders, her long eyelashes fluttering playfully, and her delicate, flawless skin, just like a porcelain doll.

"It's been a year since I last saw her, and the little girl has grown up."

Cao Jian had seen this woman's work and found it difficult to reconcile her future appearance with her present state.

However, the little girl has already grown into a graceful young lady, and she has the makings of a pretty girl.

"I really don't want to grow up."

Zhang Baizhi pouted and surprisingly uttered such mature words.

Most children look forward to growing up, but I didn't expect her to not want to grow up. It seems that her family is really unhappy.

Upon arriving upstairs, Zhang Baizhi opened the door. As soon as Cao Jian stepped inside, a woman sitting on the sofa watching TV assumed he was her daughter's classmate and didn't even glance at Cao Jian.

"Mom, Cao Jian is here."

Zhang Baizhi introduced him to his mother, saying, "It's that celebrity, Cao Jian."

"star?"

Zhang Baizhi's mother was named Davis, and she was the product of a Chinese-British marriage. She was quite good-looking.

Hearing his daughter mention a celebrity, he turned around and, upon recognizing that it was indeed one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the singer of her favorite song "MY LOVE," immediately stood up: "Mr. Cao, what brings you here?"

“Your daughter said she needed my help, so I came.”

"Quickly, sit down. Cecilia, go make coffee for the guests."

While frantically calling out to Cao Jian, Zhang's mother, Davis, asked her daughter to pour coffee.

Cecilia is Zhang Baizhi's English name.

"No need to rush."

Cao Jian sat on the sofa and said to Zhang Baizhi, "Just pour me a glass of water."

When Zhang Baizhi went to the kitchen, Davis looked Cao Jian up and down and found him to be as handsome as he was in movies and TV dramas. He asked, "Mr. Cao, my daughter is causing you trouble. She's just being silly. Please don't mind her."

"It's okay, Cecilia is cute, we've met before."

As Cao Jian spoke, he took the water glass that Zhang Baizhi handed him and said, "I heard that you're going to take Cecilia to study in Australia?"

"Yes, I don't want to stay in Hong Kong. I plan to develop my career in Australia. Cecilia's father divorced me and she stayed with me, so she had no choice but to come to Australia with me."

Zhang's mother, Davis, said helplessly, "I know this girl doesn't want to go, but there's nothing I can do."

“Actually, I think it’s better for this girl to stay in Hong Kong; the education here is more suitable for her.”

"But I don't want to stay here anymore."

“I can help take care of her.”

Seeing the woman still hesitating, Cao Jian smiled and said, "Actually, she has the potential to be an actress. I plan to train Zhang Baizhi and make her a star."

"star?"

"Yes."

Cao Jian nodded: "I can take full responsibility for Zhang Baizhi's living expenses and tuition fees from now on."

You wouldn't be.

Davis was still hesitant, thinking that the man was interested in his daughter, who was very beautiful despite her young age.

After all, in Europe and America, some men have special fetishes.

Wouldn't that put my daughter in great danger?
