On the second day after they arrived in Hong Kong, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er participated in the rehearsal for the 50th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
Although this was their first rehearsal, it was a rehearsal with makeup on, so other than the fact that there was no real audience, everything else was basically no different from a formal performance.
Hong Kong's Century Square was located in the Central District of Hong Kong Island, adjacent to Hong Kong's high-speed railway station. It was backed by the famous Central Building and faced the Victoria Harbor. It covered an area of more than 200,000 square meters. It was built by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and welcome the arrival of the new century.
Since the Century Square was built, the annual return celebration was held here. The activities included a parade of floats, a celebration party, and a fireworks show. The celebration was also broadcasted to the world.
For more than 10 million people in Hong Kong, the Day of Return on November 29th was the second most important festival after the Spring Festival. The Special Administrative Region Government even included the Day of Return as a legal holiday.
Due to the Homecoming Day Celebration being grand and spectacular every year, a large number of tourists from all over the world would pour into Xiangjiang to witness the grand occasion at this time every year.
Under normal circumstances, the celebration party on the 29th night would have more than 100,000 audience. Coupled with the live broadcast, the influence was probably second only to the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV.
When Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er arrived backstage, it was already very lively.
The backstage area was divided into two large areas. One was for celebrities and the other was for ordinary actors and extras. The area was very large. The makeup table was neatly arranged. Many celebrities and actors were putting on makeup in front of the mirror. The passage in the middle was full of people, and there were photographers carrying cameras to shoot.
Accompanying Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er were two assistants. Lu Chen's assistant was still Li Zhen.
After the successful screening of A Chinese Ghost Story, Lu Chen's studio in Hong Kong did not weaken or dissolve after his return to China. Instead, it further expanded its scale and strength.
At present, Lu Chen's studio had more than 30 employees. At present, they were mainly responsible for Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er's career development, work recommendation, image marketing, and so on. In addition, they also excavated local talents to fill the headquarters of Chenfei Media.
According to Lu Chen's plan, the studio would be upgraded to Chenfei Media's Hong Kong branch next year and play a more important role, such as promoting his works to the entire Southeast Asia to seek greater influence.
In the future, whether it was music albums, movies, or TV series produced by Chenfei Media, it would be released, screened, and broadcast in Hong Kong through Chenfei Media. Not only Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, but also all signed artists of Chenfei Media!
Lu Chen attached great importance to Xiangjiang, an important place for entertainment. He had his own contacts here.
"Hello, Mr Lu Chen!" "Hello, Teacher Lu!"
When Lu Chen appeared in the backstage area, many star artists present greeted him warmly.
Most of these stars are Hong Kong artists. Of course, those who are qualified to attend the return celebration party are not ordinary people. Among them, there is no lack of real big stars. Lu Chen knows all of them and can say their names, but there are very few who have a friendship with him.
Regardless of whether he was familiar with them or not, he politely responded to them one by one, shaking hands and exchanging a few pleasantries, behaving very appropriately.
In contrast, Chen Fei 'er, who was always by Lu Chen's side, became his foil. Although many people took the initiative to greet him, he did not attract as much attention as Lu Chen.
However, Chen Fei 'er didn't feel neglected at all. Instead, he felt very proud of Lu Chen.
In terms of popularity in Hong Kong, among the mainland stars and artists, Lu Chen deserved to be the first. In addition to the impact of the UD725 flight incident not long ago, the most important thing was his career development in Hong Kong, relying on films and TV series such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Autumn in My Heart" to achieve rapid accumulation.
Moreover, he had also written "The Love of a Lifetime," "The Road Follows You," and other Cantonese works that were regarded as classics, injecting a strong vitality and vitality into Cantonese pop songs that had been declining in recent years.
All of these contributed to Lu Chen's current status in Hong Kong's entertainment circle!
"Lu Chen, Fei 'er!"
Soon, the two of them met a mutual friend — Shu Jing!
"Sister Jing!"
Chen Fei 'er was surprised and hugged Shu Jing. "Long time no see!"
Shu Jing was one of Chen Fei 'er's few friends in Hong Kong. The two of them had known each other for many years and belonged to the kind of real good friends who hadn't seen each other for a few years.
The last time they met was at the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story," and more than half a year had passed in a flash.
Shu Jing seemed to be in excellent condition. She was in high spirits and full of charm. She didn't look like a woman who was nearly 40 years old at all. Her smile gave people the feeling of a spring breeze.
After being intimate with Chen Fei 'er, she gave Lu Chen a friendly hug and asked with a smile, "Lu Chen, since you and Fei' er have come to Hong Kong this time, why don't you stay for a few more days? How about we go out to sea and play?"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time …"
He was too busy with work this year, and his schedule was already full. Not to mention staying for a few more days, he had to fly back to the capital the day after the celebration party.
Shu Jing pulled Chen Fei 'er and insisted, "Fei' er, help Sister Jing talk to your boyfriend. You have to give me a chance to thank him, right?"
Chen Fei 'er pursed his lips and smiled. "Sister Fei, then treat us to dinner tomorrow!"
The reason why Shu Jing wanted to thank Lu Chen was because her album "Good Time", released at the beginning of the year, was a great success. Not only did it win double platinum sales, but it also won a number of music awards.
Among them, the title song "Summer Wind" and the second title song "Courage", written by Lu Chen for "Good Time", were ranked in the top three of the on-demand list for seven consecutive weeks on Hong Kong's pop radio station. In particular, the song "Courage" became the best symbol of Shu Jing's comeback in the music industry.
Today, Shu Jing, with the help of this popular album, returned to the ranks of Hong Kong's A-list female singers. All kinds of endorsements, commercial performances, and notices were soft, and she made a lot of money.
Shu Jing, who had married into a wealthy family, was not short of money, but the feeling of returning to the peak of her career was undoubtedly the best for her, and it was also the reason why she was very grateful to Lu Chen.
For Chen Fei 'er's proposal, Lu Chen was very supportive. "Yes, let's have dinner together!"
Shu Jing sighed and said, "You two … Well, then it's settled. Let's have dinner together tomorrow night."
As the three of them were talking, there was another commotion in the backstage area.
Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang came.
It was a gathering of stars!
