Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 245, Golden Eagle Goddess

Gao Yuanyuan snuggled in Shen Lang’s arms, with a faint smile on her face, and said, “The award ceremony where we won the award last time, the ‘China TV Golden Eagle Art Festival’, is scheduled to be held in Xingcheng from September 9rd to 23th this year. They have an image logo called ‘Golden Eagle Goddess’. In order to make this image more vivid and specific, starting from this session, each Golden Eagle Festival will select a new generation female star who has emerged in the field of TV dramas in the past two years and has a youthful, beautiful and extremely popular image to serve as the Golden Eagle Goddess and the image spokesperson for the current Golden Eagle TV Art Festival.”

When Shen Lang heard this, he immediately understood what she meant. With a smile on his face, he said, “They are inviting you to be the first Golden Eagle Goddess, right?”

Gao Yuanyuan listened, said “hmm” softly, and then asked: “Do you think I should go?”

Shen Lang said without hesitation: “Go ahead. People have said that there is a new generation of female stars who have emerged in the field of TV dramas in the past two years. You are the best candidate, no doubt about it.”

Gao Yuanyuan felt as sweet as honey when she heard these words praising her. The smile on her face became brighter and she said, “Okay, if you say go, I’ll go.”

Looking at her beautiful appearance, Shen Lang couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

He remembered that in the original time and space, the Golden Eagle Goddess was added in 2006. The first one was Liu Yifei. By the 2022th organizer in 14, the award was cancelled. During this period, a total of eight actresses became Golden Eagle Goddesses, the other seven were Li Xiaolu, Wang Luodan, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Tang Yan, Di Lieba, and Song Qian.

To put it bluntly, the Golden Eagle Goddess is not an award and has no so-called “gold content”. Its significance lies in its huge exposure and dissemination. It is more like a “mascot” of the Golden Eagle Award, and its influence may even be wider and more lasting than that of the Golden Eagle Award itself.

There are definitely more advantages than disadvantages to Gao Yuanyuan’s going. First, it is a recognition of her works, popularity, and strength in the past two years; second, it can increase traffic and attract more attention; third, the commercial value will be improved and more development opportunities will be obtained.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan had another idea in her mind. With a hint of expectation and a little tentativeness in her eyes, she asked cautiously, “If, I mean if, if they invite you, will you go to the scene?”

When Shen Lang heard this, he gently hooked her chin, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a bit of pampering: “No need for ifs, even if they don’t invite me, I will recommend myself to go to the scene.”

Gao Yuanyuan felt embarrassed when she found out that he had seen through her little thoughts. She opened her mouth in a coquettish manner and said, “I…” But her mouth was sealed before she could finish her words.

After a sweet kiss, Shen Lang looked at her slightly flushed cheeks, his eyes became more gentle, and said: “I remember there are no concerts scheduled in those days. Anyway, we are free, so let’s go together then.”

He didn’t shoot any TV series last year, but one of his TV series was aired, namely “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils”. Although it is difficult for the role of Duan Yu to be nominated for Best Actor, based on his huge influence and super high popularity in the entertainment industry, the Golden Eagle Awards will definitely invite him. Moreover, he really didn’t have any other plans in those days. Since Gao Yuanyuan hoped that he could go with her, he naturally had to accompany his lover well.

The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, the sunlight shone warmly through the window onto the bed, and the two of them slowly got up.

After getting up and having a simple lunch, Shen Lang had nothing to do, so he thought of going out to find some fun, so he went to knock on his neighbor’s door.

Yesterday, he and Gao Yuanyuan lived in a courtyard house in Shichahai, and Zhang Guorong lived next door.

After a while, the door creaked open and the sound of mahjong tiles colliding could be heard coming from the yard.

When Zhang Guorong saw that it was Shen Lang, she immediately put on a bright smile on her face and said in a somewhat joking tone: “You are late, there is no seat for you.”

Shen Lang laughed and said, “I thought the weather was nice today, so I came to ask you if you wanted to go fishing, but you already organized a fishing trip.” As he spoke, he walked in. Wang Zuxian, Liu Jialing, and Lin Qingxia were sitting around the table in the yard. They were all old acquaintances. When the three saw him coming, they all raised their heads and greeted him with friendly smiles. For a moment, the atmosphere in the yard became lively and cheerful.

“Alang, when did you come back? We didn’t hear any noise. We played until two in the morning last night.” Wang Zuxian said to Shen Lang with a smile while sorting the mahjong tiles in his hand.

“He just came back yesterday. Maybe you were too focused on the game so you didn’t notice him.” Shen Lang responded with a smile.

“You are so busy running around at home and abroad every day. It’s rare to see you once.” Liu Jialing sighed.

“There’s nothing we can do, Sister Jialing. Since we’ve taken their money, we have to sing the song, right?” Shen Lang shrugged helplessly.

“By the way, Alang, will you go to the Hong Kong Coliseum for your concert this time? Last time you performed, I happened to have something to do and couldn’t go.” Brigitte Lin expressed regret.

“There will be no Hong Kong stop on this tour, but there will be one in Tianjin the day after tomorrow, which is right next to Yanjing. It’s about two hours’ drive away, so it’s quite close. Sister Qingxia, do you want to go? If so, I can get you tickets.” Shen Lang invited enthusiastically.

“Okay, then I have to go.” Brigitte Lin nodded.

“I’ll go too.” Wang Zuxian immediately became excited when he heard it and spoke quickly.

“Then give me one too.” Liu Jialing also said.

“Okay, I’ll have someone deliver the tickets later.” Shen Lang responded readily.

In recent years, Wang Zuxian, Liu Jialing and Lin Qingxia have lived different lives. Liu Jialing is still active in the film and television industry, and her performances can often be seen on the screen, while Wang Zuxian and Lin Qingxia are already in a state of retirement. They don’t have anything particularly busy to do on weekdays and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

It was also because of Zhang Guorong that they got to know Shen Lang and gradually got to know him. They appreciated his talent and liked listening to his songs. As long as time permitted, they would take time out to watch his concerts in person.

Moreover, now the three of them have bought courtyard houses in this alley and become Shen Lang’s neighbors. However, only Wang Zuxian lives here permanently, while Liu Jialing and Lin Qingxia only come to live here occasionally.

Originally thinking of going out fishing today to relax, but seeing that it seems impossible to fish, Shen Lang simply went to call Gao Yuanyuan over. The same goes for playing mahjong. Anyway, it’s all about killing time and relaxing.

Everyone sat around the mahjong table in the yard, chatting and laughing while playing cards. Time passed slowly in this relaxed and happy atmosphere.

In the evening, Shen Lang’s cell phone rang. He looked at the number and it was from Du Ting. (End of this chapter)
