Chapter 43 Goodbye Big Star
The woman in white smiled and walked into the hall amid the cheers and applause of everyone. A well-known male host from CCTV stood beside her with a wireless microphone in his hand and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen! Please be quiet, be quiet!"
At the host's call, the hall gradually quieted down. The host said with a smile on his face, "Today is the birthday of our common friend, the lovely and beautiful spirit, the holy and noble angel Miss Xu Shu. Let's give Miss Xu Shu a warm round of applause and give us a birthday speech. What do you think?"
"Good!" countless people shouted, and applause broke out again.
The woman in white took the microphone from the host with a graceful and generous smile, looked around, and said, "I am very happy! I am also very grateful to so many relatives and friends for coming to this birthday party, especially I saw some good friends whom I haven't seen for a long time. I am so touched! Thank you for your help and support all the time. It is because of you that I can persist in working hard until today! I..."
When Xu Shu was giving his birthday speech, I felt my heartbeat quicken, my blood rushed to my face, and my whole body felt very uncomfortable. Hua Jingjing didn't notice, she was standing on tiptoes excitedly, listening to Xu Shu's speech happily.
I walked to the side, found a chair and sat down. I took out the pack of foreign cigarettes from my pocket, opened it, took out a cigarette that looked like a cigar, lit it with a lighter and took a deep puff. With the help of the choking foreign smoke, I tried my best to calm my excited heart. I smiled bitterly in my heart. I thought I had forgotten this extremely beautiful woman! But when I saw her, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself. Tang Qian, ah Tang Qian! Have you really reached this hopeless point?
I couldn't hear what Xu Shu was saying. There were only chaotic and helpless thoughts in my head. I smoked the cigarette in a few puffs and it was almost finished.
At this moment, Qiu Jieqin's sad face floated into my mind, and I was shocked! I woke up!
Yes! I already have Qiu Jieqin, that is a real relationship. Xu Shu is just a dream to me, too unrealistic! Too unrealistic! It’s okay for a person to have dreams, but if you indulge in dreams and cannot extricate yourself, it will inevitably harm others and yourself. Tang Qian, you are already an adult, why do you still have the fantasies and aspirations of a teenager?
My reason tells me that I should cherish the person in front of me. He is the one who will spend my whole life with me, and I must hold on to him tightly!
I threw away the cigarette butt, took another deep breath, and made a decision in my heart. No matter how beautiful and charming the big star Xu is, it has nothing to do with me. I can appreciate her, but I can't be obsessed with her. I have a girlfriend, I am already very happy ! I have to be content!
I shook my head vigorously, put aside all those unnecessary thoughts, stood up calmly, and walked to Hua Jingjing's side.
At this time, the star Xu finished her speech. The host took the microphone and announced excitedly: "Today, Miss Xu actually has three good things coming to her. It is really a very auspicious day! I am very honored to be able to announce these great happy events. Today is Miss Xu's birthday, which everyone knows. This is the first happy event! The second happy event is that Miss Xu's latest album "A Thousand Thoughts" has recently sold 8 million copies, setting a new record for domestic album sales. This is really a gratifying achievement. Let us once again congratulate Miss Xu with warm applause!"
Applause rang out again, and countless people cheered and called Xu Shu's name. Xu Shu's face also bloomed with a happy and charming smile, and she playfully did a classical European female squatting gesture to express her gratitude! This attracted even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
The host put his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Now, please invite Mr. Zhang Jianren, the president of Lisheng Records, to present the record-breaking Super Platinum Record Award to our birthday girl, Ms. Xu. Welcome everyone!"
Then there was applause again, and a white-haired old man in a neat suit walked towards Xu Shu, holding a platinum record with an exquisite cover in his hand. He smiled and shook hands with Xu Shu and presented the award.
Hua Jingjing clapped her hands beside until they were sore, then turned around and said to me proudly, "Didn't expect it? My classmate is actually the famous star Xu Shu! Are you surprised?"
I clapped my hands gently and said with a smile, "A little, a little!" Hua Jingjing smiled proudly and continued to turn around and clap her hands vigorously.
After the awards ceremony, the host said excitedly: "Now I would like to announce the third happy event. I believe everyone knows through the website or newspapers some time ago that the new film "Oriental Beauty" by the great American Hollywood director George Bucaron is currently looking for the actress to play the leading role in Asia. Japan's Matsushita Aiko , South Korea's Kim Soon-hee, Hong Kong's Luo Meiyin, these world-recognized Asian beauties have been very popular. However, today I am very proud to announce that Bucaron's new film has already selected the heroine, and her actress is our favorite birthday girl, Miss Xu Shu!" As he said this, he pointed very hard at the graceful and elegant star Xu.
Many people in the crowd said "Oh", which was unexpected and pleasantly surprised. Of course, some people were envious or jealous. George Bucaron is a leading director in Hollywood. His films have won various film awards in the world. He has three of the top ten best-selling films in the world. The actors who have played roles in his films have become world-renowned stars. It can be said that he is a top figure in the world film industry. This time he is going to make a movie about the lives of Oriental people, which has immediately set off a huge wave in Asia. Who doesn't want to play a role in his film! What's more, he is looking for the actress who plays the leading role in Asia. Recently, beauties from the entertainment industry in Asia have been vying for this opportunity. The media also reported it every few days. Sometimes it said that the Japanese beauty Matsushita Aiko had the greatest chance, and sometimes it was said that the number one beauty in the Korean film industry, Kim Sun-hee, was about to sign a contract, and so on. Various legends were spreading everywhere, but no one expected that the most unknown Chinese beauty Xu Shu would suddenly emerge and seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It can be said that it was beyond people's expectations. It is conceivable that after the big star Xu starred in Bucaron's new film, the day when she became an international superstar is just around the corner!
After the surprise, there was a thunderous applause. Xu Shu's face was full of happy smiles, and he kept waving to everyone.
After everyone's applause subsided, the host immediately said, "Next! We would like to invite Mr. Wilson, a famous Hollywood producer and vice president of Universal Pictures, to come up and tell us about the selection of our Chinese beauty. Please come on stage!"
Amid the applause, a tall foreign elderly man walked out with a big smile on his face. He first gave Xu Shu a warm hug, then took the microphone from the host and said in English: "Ladies and gentlemen! Good evening! It is a great honor to attend the birthday party of a woman whom I think is the most beautiful woman in the East on this beautiful night. Her beauty shocked me and my film crew. As soon as George and I saw her, we almost without hesitation decided that she was the person we were looking for..."
Of course I didn't know what he was talking about at the time. Only Hua Jingjing, who had studied in the United States, listened with great interest. I just looked at Xu Shu standing there with a smile, and remembered that night when she lay on my shoulder and sang softly to me...
Finally, the foreigner finished speaking, and the host finally announced: "Now, the dance party officially begins, everyone dance to your heart's content!"
As the music started, many people rushed forward to congratulate Xu Shu. She responded calmly one by one. Hua Jingjing couldn't squeeze in, so she had to shout from outside: "Xiao Shu! Xiao Shu! I'm here!"
At this time, a handsome man squeezed in and said with a smile: "Shu, is it okay?" He bowed slightly and stretched out a hand. Xu Shu smiled and put his small hand wearing white sha gloves on his palm. The crowd made way for him tactfully, and the two of them posed and danced a graceful waltz lightly.
I recognized that handsome man. He was the dream lover of all Asian girls, the superstar of Hong Kong music and film circles, Zhang Yalun. The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, they danced gracefully, and they cooperated well. They were really a perfect pair of golden boy and jade girl!
When Hua Jingjing saw it, she was so excited that she pulled my hand and shouted, "Did you see it? Did you see it? It's Zhang Yalun! Wow! I'm so envious!"
I felt a little sour and a little amused! Before she came in, she warned me not to be impulsive when meeting big stars, but she herself was so excited when she met a Hong Kong superstar that she was like a star chaser and even changed her accent to a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent.
As the music got deeper, several more couples started dancing. Hua Jingjing pulled me again and gave me a look. I knew she wanted me to invite her to the dance floor.
I could only sigh and say, "Miss, is it okay?"
Hua Jingjing smiled and said, "It's my pleasure!"
I held her hand, stepped onto the dance floor, and started dancing. I whispered, "Don't blame me if I don't dance well. You know I've just learned it."
Hua Jingjing smiled and said viciously: "If you make a fool of yourself, I will kill you!"
As we danced, we approached the golden boy and girl. Hua Jingjing greeted them, "Hi! Xiao Shu!"
Xu Shu turned around and saw me, and happily called her, "Jingjing! You're here?" Then she looked at me naturally. I noticed that she was stunned for a moment, blinked hard, and then looked at me carefully again.
