Chapter 393

Because of this chorus that awakened many people's memories of that summer, many people in Hong Kong were still listening to RTHK late at night tonight.

This song played a good comforting role when many people were down, and even half a year later, it was still often heard and felt new.

But it was also because 'Tomorrow Will Be Better' was too deeply rooted in people's hearts that many listeners began to feel indignant. Why didn't such a good song win an award?

Some people felt indignant for this song, so naturally some people felt indignant for 'I Prefer You,' 'Melinda,' 'Love to Win,' 'Friends,' and 'A Real Man,' especially the two young singers Leslie Cheung and Danny Chan, who now had many fans.

Wei Ming's dozen or so songs had too high a popularity. Even if the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs occupied four, the fans still felt unsatisfied.

However, people in the Hong Kong music industry felt it was a bit too much. Let's not talk about occupying four out of ten. Last year was indeed a year when Wei Ming's creative desire exploded. There were also several globally famous representative works among English songs.

But the problem was that the Golden Needle Award, which was considered the highest honor, was actually given to him. This was a bit too much. Wei Ming had only been writing Cantonese songs for two years at most. Although there were some classics, could this be compared with those old predecessors? What contribution could he have made to Cantonese songs!

Huang Zhan, who was considered a hot favorite to win this award, was too embarrassed to come out and say anything, but many of their good friends couldn't bear it. For example, Ni Kuang angrily picked up his pen and began to express his anger.

But his manuscript wasn't published that quickly. The news seen in the papers the next day was basically news released by the media on the spot. TVB and Rediffusion also reported this matter in the morning entertainment news section.

However, TVB only summarized it in one short sentence, and then continued to promote the Top Ten Jade Solid Gold Songs two weeks later.

Rediffusion released more photos from the scene and even interviewed the views of several singers who attended the awards ceremony, including a close-up shot of Zhou Huimin.

The teenage girl was tall, had fair skin, exquisite facial features, and a well-behaved temperament. Zhou Huimin instantly struck the hearts of countless young boys.

When Zhou Huimin went to school the next day, her best friends immediately surrounded her and chattered.

"Congratulations, Amin, you actually won the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs!"

"You'll be a big star in the future, don't forget us!"

"Amin, you're on fire!"

"Vivian, something big happened!"

Zhou Huimin: "Ah?"

"Look!" A best friend pulled a dozen love letters out of her drawer. Usually, there were only one or two a day. The sudden surge today was inevitably the follow-up influence of the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs awards.

Zhou Huimin glanced at the door. There were still many boys from other classes and even other grades blocking the door and windows to visit the newly promoted singer Zhou Huimin.

How childish and boring, Zhou Huimin shook her head. But after all, she was a kind person, so she didn't throw the love letters into the trash can in front of everyone, but said very seriously: "I only want to study and get into university now, and I have no interest in dating, so please don't write this kind of thing anymore, thank you."

Wait until she goes out to find a place where no one is around to throw them away.

When she said this, a boy came running over waving a love letter, and then the boys in the same class chased him away.

Vivian said she didn't want to date, so they still had a chance. At this time, the messy-haired boy from another class dared to harass Amin, which was looking for death!

And during the morning class, several newspapers with Amin's front-facing photos had already appeared in the hands of her best friends, including even high-end elite newspapers like 'Ming Pao.'

Although the article mainly talked about Wei Ming winning four out of ten and winning the first Golden Needle Award, the photo chosen was of Zhou Huimin holding the Golden Needle trophy and smiling proudly.

Within a day, the mysterious singer Zhou Huimin became completely famous for being beautiful!

Originally, although many young men and women liked to listen to her songs, these fans were basically unorganized, and they couldn't talk about any obsession or worship for the singer. Most of them just listened to them on the radio, and not many bought records.

Last night, Zhou Huimin won an award, and after officially appearing in newspapers and on TV, it triggered a Zhou Huimin craze among teenagers. Many young boys and girls ran to video stores at noon to buy her records with their lunch money.

When buying records, those boys and girls got to know each other and told each other about their liking for Vivian Zhou Huimin, and basically all of them said that they liked her very much before seeing her appearance, and it was definitely not just because of superficial things like her face.

"That's right, I'm the same. I like all three of her songs very much."

"Three songs? One look and I know you're not a die-hard fan. Vivian has already released her fourth song."

"You've also heard 'A Pair'! But I still prefer the Mandarin version of 'Bug Flying'."

"I really hope Vivian can release an album as soon as possible."

"It doesn't matter. Amin's singles are also of very high quality. I never get tired of listening to them. Most of the albums released can't be listened to. What's the point of purely piling up quantity."

"Of course I never get tired of listening to them. They were all tailor-made for her by Wei Ming. It's really too happy to have such a talented pen pal!"

At this time, a boy asked: "Do you think they are already dating?"

So this boy immediately became the target of criticism from the whole audience. Neither boys nor girls allowed him to say that about Vivian.

"She looks like that kind of well-behaved child at first glance. How could she be dating? I guess she hasn't even held a boy's hand."

"That's right, I have a cousin who is in the same school as Vivian. She said Vivian is a well-known good student in school. When her family was in difficulty before, she even taught children how to play the piano. She has already passed the tenth grade in piano!"

"Ah? Her family was in difficulty before? Isn't she the Fairwood princess? That store has opened several branches, beating McDonald's to the ground."

"How long has Fairwood been around? She is from a single-parent family. Before, her mother sold snacks, and then it slowly developed. My cousin said..."

Thus, Zhou Huimin became a pitiful and inspirational model in their eyes again.

In the past, when Zhou Huimin ate at school at noon, at most someone would look at her, but now it was even developing to the point of being surrounded.

Fortunately, it was about to be on vacation. I hope everyone can return to normal after a vacation, otherwise how will she spend the next few years!

Wei Ming didn't know about these troubles of Amin for the time being. He was lying at home at this moment. Yesterday, in order to celebrate Uncle Ping'an's promotion, he drank a little in the evening, feeling that his drinking capacity was about to be practiced.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Ming were both on vacation, and they were really a bit embarrassed. They had only been back to work for a few days and were on vacation.

Early in the morning, Xiao Hong thoughtfully prepared breakfast for her brother, taking on the responsibility of a mother in this family.

However, after all, it was winter, and she couldn't make anything fancy. Chinese cabbage was still the main theme. Although there were communes with greenhouses like Sijiqing around Beijing, the output was limited after all, and there were still few that could flow onto the tables of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Wei Ming had connections, so after eating, he rode his motorcycle and took the little girl to Sijiqing Commune to find Uncle Bu Dachun to buy vegetables, which could be considered experiencing the unique fun of picking.

Many years later, you have to pay people to work in the fields. This is something that was unimaginable in this era.

"Uncle Dachun, is Brother Bu Bu Yun Suan Yuan not coming back for the New Year?" Wei Hong asked, carrying a basket.

Bu Dachun looked proud: "He wrote a letter saying he's not coming back. The air ticket is too expensive, and he can earn money by doing projects with his tutor. He even sent me money! Foreign exchange! This child is too reassuring. If I had known he could earn money himself, I wouldn't have sold that motorcycle."

Wei Ming: "If he sent you money, you should hurry up and buy a courtyard house. It would be great to retire in the city in the future, like those old men in the city, carrying a cage and walking a bird."

Bu Dachun smiled: "Little Teacher Wei, come and sit at home later, let you see my newly bought motorcycle."

Wei Ming almost blurted out: "Uncle, you used the foreign exchange your son gave you to buy another motorcycle?!"

Bu Dachun: "Yes, and that money can't afford a house anyway. I thought I'd buy the car first, and it's convenient to go anywhere."

Seeing his brother speechless, Wei Hong helped out: "Brother, didn't you also buy the car first and then the house?"

Wei Ming: "Can that be the same? Because it wasn't easy to buy a house at that time, and I believe that I will definitely be able to buy a house before the housing price rises in the future, so I bought the car first for the convenience of travel. Uncle, you, you."

Old Bu looked indifferent: "Actually, I really can't get used to living in the city. I think it's great to have such a piece of land to take care of vegetables when I'm old. If I enter the city, who will you look for when you want to eat vegetables in winter in the future?"

He had already bought it, so what else could he say? Of course, he went to appreciate Old Bu's new car. It was a pretty good-looking model, and Wei Ming seriously suspected whether he wanted to find an old companion.

In the afternoon, Wei Ming went to school again. Because he always asked for leave, Wei Ming was embarrassed to receive his salary, but he had to receive the school's benefits, and then he received several hairtails and a bucket of oil.

He happened to run into Brother Feng, so he gave him the oil. The peanut oil sent from his hometown was too much to finish, especially now that his parents were not at home, and the two siblings could fry dough sticks at home by themselves.

After returning home, Xiao Hong made braised hairtail for her brother. After eating, Xiao Hong said: "Brother, we can't continue to degenerate like this. I haven't done any serious work in a day."

Wei Ming: "Then what do you want?"

Wei Hong: "Brother, I am very interested in the stock market you mentioned. Can we speculate on some stocks to test the water?"

"Can't speculate at all, there is no such thing in China now."

"I know, I want to know if I can give the money to my parents, let them open an account, let them speculate first, and then everyone writes letters to communicate the rise and fall, let me experience the feeling of surfing in the stock market."

Wei Ming was happy: "Speculating on stocks from the air? What's the point of that? Can't analyze the market in real time, purely relying on luck. Earning money or losing money is put aside first, and it doesn't improve your ability. I see that you are so free, why don't you go to Xintiandi to work and buy clothes."

Moreover, Wei Ming had actually done so, buying stocks of companies under Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, and was optimistic about both of them.

Wei Hong pouted: "That's fine, anyway, we can't stay like this, people will be ruined."

"I didn't stay. I wrote several pages of scripts while you were cooking, and I have to write novels later." He had just finished sophistry when the phone at home rang. It was a comrade from the Hong Kong Office, conveying good news that might not be publicized in China.

"Oh, okay, got it, thank you."

Wei Ming put down the phone, and Wei Hong asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"Yesterday, the most important music awards ceremony in Hong Kong, the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs, was awarded. Four of the songs I wrote won the title of Gold Song, and I also won the highest honor, the Golden Needle Award."
