Spring and summer are sociable and the weather is fine.
The Hao Yingdong Cup Charity Racing Grand Prix kicked off at the Magic City Circuit on this morning when the temperature was suitable.
One month ahead, we will encounter the Qingming rainy season.
In the next month, it will be the plum rainy season that scares all northerners, which is also the so-called Huang Meitian in the Jiangnan area.
Just to avoid these two days of frequent rain, the sun is shining brightly now.
"Mr. Oh."
"Sister Jingjing..."
Zhang Yuan arrived early and waited in the VIP room.
After confirming the details with Hao Qigang again, he went to the preparation area and during the break, he greeted all the artists present one by one.
"Uncle Long!"
"Brother Hua."
"Ziyi..."
The final racing list has already been drawn up.
In the morning, there was a competition for the women's group. The participating players were: Zhong Liti, Liu Tao, Zeng Baoyi, Da S, Zeng Li, Rong Zuer, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Xiong Dailing, and Zhang Ziyi.
In the women's group, they are basically all related people.
Xiong Dailin is Guo Fucheng's current girlfriend, and it is also the condition for this king to participate in the competition.
Zeng Baoyi was arranged by his father, and Zeng Zhiwei will be there in person to help stir up the atmosphere.
Rong Zuer is the first sister of the Eagle Emperor.
Yang Dengkui, the man behind Big S, also helped him a lot, and Zhang Yuan and Big S also formed a cast in "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Zeng Li is the lucky one, and Shuang Bing is Hua Yi's mission.
Zhang Ziyi is a big name, but this woman is not only here to promote the film, she is also related to the organizer Hao family.
Furthermore, she loves to stay in the camp. Seeing so many superstars, such as Chen Long, Hua Ge, and Guo Fucheng, she must come and make friends.
She and Chen Long are old acquaintances. The two collaborated in "Rush Hour 2" a few years ago.
Even excluding these few, Zeng Zhiwei is still good enough to be friends with International Chapter.
Don't look at this guy's unattractive appearance and short stature.
But his real father is Zeng Qirong, the top dog under "Inspector 500 Million" Lu Le, who is also the lard boy played by Wu Mengda or later Zheng Zeshi in the movie.
Back then, his father was wanted by ICBC along with Lu Le.
But Lu Le could only flee overseas, while his father went to Treasure Island.
Before leaving, he sold all the properties in Xiangjiang and took them to Treasure Island.
Why does Eric Tsang have such a high status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?
Because their family is the connector of the film circles in Hong Kong and Baodao.
His father and daughter are both in Baodao, and they used their illegal gains to invest in a large number of industrial and film and television industries.
Their family is actually the sponsor of many Hong Kong filmmakers.
In addition, many people only pay attention to his father, but they don't know that Zeng Zhiwei's cousin, Lardboy's nephew, is also a famous figure in Hong Kong.
In 2002, this person took office as the Director of the Financial Affairs and Treasury Bureau in Xiangjiang, which is equivalent to the Minister of Household Affairs in Xiangjiang.
The then Minister of Household Affairs was his classmate in college.
He is also an outside director of COFCO and China Mobile.
He also served as the president of Modern Chase Asia Pacific, and was poached by the Li family's eldest son to become the president of the Li family's PCCW.
He has a father and a large amount of property in Baodao, and he has such a real relative in Xiangjiang who is involved in both business and political circles. Zeng Zhiwei is also an extremely flexible boss, so he naturally becomes famous.
Speaking of character and other things, this guy's acting skills are actually pretty good.
Whether it's Brother Bao in "Sweet Honey" or Brother Chen in "Infernal Affairs", this person performs both of them with great prowess.
It's just that such a good acting skills turned into a primary school student in front of the big internet celebrities of later generations...
In addition to female artists, the lineup of male artists is also impressive.
Uncle Long, Guo Fucheng, Lin Zhiying, Nicholas Tse, Chen Kun, Jay Chou, Xia Yu, Lin Yusheng, left.
In addition, Zhang Yuan played in person!
With this lineup, ordinary award shows can't gather that many celebrities, and they are all big names.
In today's Magic City racing, saying "Starlight Glimmer" is by no means a compliment, it is just an objective description of the facts.
Otherwise, how could we attract so many viewers?
Of course, Lin Yusheng and Xiang Zuo were as out of place as two lions mixed in with each other.
However, among the twenty racing seats in total, there are only two less famous ones. In fact, they are not conspicuous, which makes sense.
After greeting all the contestants, Zhang Yuan came to another lounge.
When the door opened, the starlight inside was only slightly brighter than that of the preparation room next door.
Hu Jun, Huang Xiaoming, Gu Tianle, Deng Chao, Yang Mi, Liu Qianqian, TWINS, Feier Band, Super Girl Trio, "Come on!" Good Man》Everyone...
There is also Teacher He Jiong who is very considerate and drags Li Xiang, the first sister of Mango Station, to come.
These two will serve as today's hosts, and they can be regarded as professional counterparts.
All the performers and guests on stage were talking to each other enthusiastically.
People in the same industry naturally have common topics.
Zhang Yuan waved, and then his assistant Zhao Juejuan, who was carrying large and small bags and so many things in his hands that he could hardly walk, staggered into the house.
Zhang Yuan asked her to follow him.
Then he took out gift bags and the gifts inside and handed them over to the artists.
"Brother Jun, long time no see."
"Here, a little something."
"Brother Chao, it's our first time meeting you. A little greeting."
"Teacher He worked hard today, just a little something."
Distribute gifts one by one.
These gifts are exclusive to the guests, and Zhang Yuan, the racing driver next door, did not send any gifts.
Because a racing seat is already the biggest gift for most participating artists!
"Mi, take it, I bought this small bag for you." Zhang Yuan handed the gift bag containing the luxury bag to Yang Mi's hand.
"Thank you!" This person was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a loose collar today, and she was much shorter than Zhang Yuan.
But at the same time, he caught a glimpse of the Liu family's mother and daughter who came together with his peripheral vision, and he quickly looked away.
This was just a momentary glance, and no one noticed it.
"Hello Aunt Liu, hello Sissi."
"Hello."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said hello, but her eyes could not hide the shock.
What surprised her was not only the extremely luxurious star lineup today.
She knew that Zhang Yuan was very powerful, and she also knew that many artists would come.
But when she just passed by the racing driver's lounge, she had a glimpse and realized how powerful the guest lineup was!
He is so strong that his own daughter feels a little transparent.
What surprised her even more was that the gift bags Zhang Yuan sent out looked very familiar to her.
"Aren't these the things he bought in Xiangjiang!"
"More than two million yuan was spent in one afternoon. It turned out that it was just to give people away here."
In fact, there are more than that, but it is true that most of the “cheap” luxury goods are given away here.
Liu Xiaoli knew that he bought it as a gift, but she never expected that he would give it to the guests so generously.
But then I thought about it, it was right.
This kind of situation is a good opportunity for communication.
As the planner of the event, it is reasonable for him to give gifts, and he can also win over a wave of popularity and connections in the industry.
Aunt Liu thought to herself that this was how he got to where he is today step by step.
Being able to rise among the stars in just a few years is indeed not something ordinary people can do.
"Aunt Liu, Sissi, a little gift."
"No need." Liu Qianqian wanted to refuse, but her mother pushed her arm.
"Thank you." Liu Xiaoli then accepted the gift.
"Everyone else takes it, but we don't take it. There are many people here and it's easy for others to gossip." Liu Xiaoli explained to her daughter.
Liu Qianqian nodded in understanding.
After an hour or two, the audience gradually entered the venue.
A temporary simple stage has also been set up at the starting area, the kind that can be quickly disassembled.
After He Jiong and Li Xiang came on stage, they immediately aroused bursts of cheers.
First of all, the representative of our family, Hao Qihong, took the stage to speak.
Then came Li Ruigang from SMG and representatives from Jiushi Group.
The audience is not interested in the speeches of these so-called big shots.
But the media and TV stations will broadcast it, and this link is indispensable.
This part was fairly brief, and it was over in less than half an hour.
"Next, let's invite the students from "Come on! Good Man" to come on stage and give you a performance!"
Before he finished speaking, the audience burst into violent applause.
This is the Magic City, but it’s the home of this show!
Zhang Yuan arranged for them to appear first, just to stir up the atmosphere immediately.
Of course there is no need to say much about singing and dancing, they have been rehearsed in advance.
He Jiong and Li Xiang stepped aside.
Li Xiang was not familiar with Zhang Yuan, so he looked at Teacher He with wide eyes.
"Is this the all-male talent show he planned for Modu TV?"
"Yeah."
“So popular!”
Teacher He echoed: "The ratings in Shanghai are equal to last year's "Super Girl" on our station."
"It is the most popular show in Shanghai."
"Oh, so awesome."
Li Xiang looked at the younger brother who was standing next to the leader who had just finished speaking.
At this moment, seeing the audience's enthusiasm being instantly aroused, SMG's boss Li Ruigang narrowed his eyes in joy.
And Hao Qigang glanced at the auditorium and the lawn stands not far away.
He knew that the tickets were sold well, but when he arrived at the venue, after all the audience took their seats, saw the dense crowds, and heard the cheers and applause when the actors came on stage, he had a real sense of the popularity of this racing.
He knew that many celebrities had engaged in charity racing.
But this is the first time in China that such a huge and hot event has happened!
Young Master Hao looked at Zhang Yuan.
When the opponent proposes a game concept, he is interested. But I didn’t have much hope or expectation.
But now that things are going so beautifully, his family's evaluation and recognition will skyrocket.
And this is not only related to the face of the Hao family, but also to the status of the Hao family in the sports world.
"He can do things, and he is very capable!" Young Master Hao made a judgment on Zhang Yuan.
"But, to the left..."
Not only was the Hao family neither deaf nor blind, they were also extremely well-informed and had detailed background information on every artist who participated and came.
They cannot allow people with issues of stance and public opinion to participate in their own activities.
Through investigation, they also understood the conflict between Zhang Yuan and Xiang Jia.
"I called him here, probably because I want to reconcile with the Xiang family."
"She is quite good at taking advantage of opportunities." The eldest son of the Hao family had a naive expression on his face, but it was all disguise.
His intelligence is already superior, and his knowledge is first-class in the world. He can understand other people's thoughts in the blink of an eye.
"This competition is beautiful. If Xiang Jia is dishonest, please help him."
This one was thinking in his mind.
In the eyes of the Hao family, what level is the Xiang family?
That means there is no class.
Just saying hello can make things smoother. The young master of the Hao family plans to help Zhang Yuan in a small way, just as helping each other.
"come on! "Good Man" everyone exited.
The hosting duo are at it again.
Then, TWINS took the stage to sing "No Tears in Moscow", the Mandarin version of the hit single "Next Stop Queen".
This is not over yet. Zhang Yuan and Yinghuang have a good relationship. Lao Yangtou paid special attention to it and let the two sing the title song of the album "Apprentice Love God" which was released last year and was written by Fang Wenshan.
This album sold 800,000 copies in 10 days, which is very good sales.
The response at the scene was also extremely enthusiastic, and many TWINS fans even held up banners!
Zhang Yuan looked at the situation and said, hurry up and watch it!
In a few years, when Mr. Chen's works are exposed, this group will become popular.
The Xiangjiang sisters took a break from the stage.
“We’re inviting you, Feier Band!”
At that time, Zhan Wenting was still at home.
As soon as this band debuted, it became an instant hit with her unique voice and dynamic arrangement behind it.
They were one of the few top bands at that time that could stand up to "Mayday", and could even fight back and forth.
Being able to be on the front line in that era when there were so many gods and goddesses shows his popularity and strength.
After performing "Our Love" and "Thousand Years of Love", the venue was at its peak.
Then came a few friends that Wang Fei, the singing queen and bad boy who was expecting a baby at home in the imperial capital, had found for him.
The first ones to take the stage were Yuquan and his wife.
The starting point is the famous song "The Most Beautiful".
Then came the song "Running".
"Running with the wind and freedom is the direction."
"Chasing the power of thunder and lightning..."
Zhang Yuan was listening. At least it was related to speed, so it suited the occasion and fit the theme.
After the pair went down, the next person on stage was the super heavyweight of the year, Sun Nan!
The song "Come Back Soon" started with a soaring high note, and the whole audience immediately became excited.
Originally this person only sang one song.
As a result, the audience became excited, and so did he.
He sang "See You or Be Parted" again, which directly filled the audience with enthusiasm.
The man bowed and left the stage, and the two hosts returned to say hello.
"Then, our charity race today, the women's race is about to begin."
“It’s time for the float parade next!”
The two people quickly got off the stage, and the staff came forward to quickly dismantle the simple stage.
At the same time, an open-top double-decker bus was waiting in the maintenance area.
At this time, many viewers who had just watched a bunch of well-known singers perform were thinking about it.
"There are racing performances in the morning and afternoon."
“I’ve already gone to Sun Nan and TWINS in the morning.”
"Is the lineup stronger this afternoon?"
"Then we are not allowed to take off!"
Soon after, all ten participating female drivers were dressed in cool racing suits and slowly slid past all the spectators on the slow-moving exhibition car.
This kind of pre-race driver display is called a "pig cart" in the racing industry.
Because most of the pig pulling vehicles around the world are open and fenced, there are visual similarities with this.
"Bingbing!"
"Zhang Ziyi, I love you!"
"Big S!!!"
In those days, the two Baodao sisters were very popular...
Of course, the most eyes and applause were dedicated to the pairing of Jiu Zhang and Hua Yi.
Zhang Yuan was observing in the VIP room.
Even wearing a racing suit, it blocks most of the body.
But with just her head exposed, Fan is more than one degree fairer than other actresses!
The popular artists of later generations promote their beauty every day.
Come and take a look at the "old artist", and you will immediately know what true beauty is!
The pig cart also deliberately stopped for a while near the cheap lawn tickets, so that these spectators could also feel that the ticket price was worth it.
The total length of the Magic City Circuit is 5.451 kilometers.
Put into use in 2004, the fastest lap record was set by car king Schumacher at 1 minute and 32 seconds when the F1 Grand Prix was held in the first year.
No one has broken it in the next twenty years!
It is true that there are many factors that have changed racing standards. Since then, the naturally aspirated V10 engine, which was known as the "sound of nature" and can reach up to 20,000 rpm, has gradually been weakened to V8, and even the V6 hybrid "嘤嘤" in later generations. car.
But to be able to keep the record for twenty years, the car king is really strong.
The racing-grade modified POLO touring car used in charity racing, professional drivers can achieve a time of about 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
As for these actresses, even the two strongest ones would be pretty good if they could complete a lap in 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
This shows how terrifying the F1 racing car is, it is basically twice as fast as a low-class touring car!
The gap is so big that it is equivalent to the difference in bust size between Yang Mi and Liu Qianqian...
After pulling the pig cart, there was a one-hour practice session.
The ten female drivers will have one hour to familiarize themselves with the track and the cars.
Then there is a one-hour break, followed by a fifteen-minute qualifying session.
Before qualifying, all artists were interviewed by the media in the pit garage.
A large number of artists who are not participating will also continue to attract attention with their colorful "catwalks".
Zhang Yuan came to Liu Tao, who had just finished a practice race.
Although Teacher Bai Jie has a flirtatious personality, she is actually very good at driving.
Both on a physical level and on a spiritual level.
I had participated in several charity races before, so after I became interested, I also took the race license privately and ran several personal practices.
Before qualifying, Zhang Yuan cheered her up.
"Sister Tao, Xiao Taozi!"
"We all acted in "Dragon Movie", don't lose your place!"
"Yes, be energetic!" Liu Qianqian, who also appeared in "Dragon Movie", also chimed in.
Liu Tao showed a determined look, flicked his ponytail and got into the car, then put on his helmet and stood ready.
"Okay, great!" Lin Zhiying, who plays Duan Yu, also praised.
Qualifying begins and all cars leave the garage one by one.
"Zhang Yuan, who do you think will win?" Liu Qianqian couldn't drive, and tears of envy flowed from the corner of her mouth.
This girl looks innocent, but she is actually cute and pretends to be cool.
She loves anything that has anything to do with coolness.
The pink Hello Kitty looks like a Transformers heart...
Zhang Yuan saw her like that and thought to himself that he would take her to the track again if he had a chance.
At the same time, he replied casually.
"I don't know, it's possible."
But he knew that the winner of the women's competition could only be Liu Tao!
Last night, after the two young masters Lin Yusheng and Xiang Zuo left.
Zhang Yuan paid the technician to re-flash the ECU for the car Liu Tao used today.
It seems that her vehicle has about 15 more horsepower than other cars in the same field.
This car only has about 300 horses in total, so 15 horses is not a small number.
And he deliberately didn't make it too exaggerated so that he wouldn't be easily discovered.
The reason why he did this was because he knew that among the female drivers present, the one with the highest level was actually Chung Liti.
But he can't let Christi Chung win!
It's not that Zhang Yuan hates her, it's purely because of her identity.
In the women's category, Zhang Yuan had to let the mainland driver win!
It is easier to achieve the goal by opening a trick for the experienced Liu Tao.
This game has never been fair.
What the Hao family wants is charity, popularity, and good reputation.
But never asked for fairness.
So Zhang Yuan’s goal is to let the mainland driver win in the women’s category.
Because the men’s team will win, it must be a non-mainland driver!
Only in this way can the balance he wants be maintained and a dynamic balance be achieved in which both sides of the Taiwan Strait have an advantage.
At the same time, this is also a necessary consideration so that your own small plan will not affect the overall situation.
The overall situation must be under his control!
15 minutes passed and qualifying ended.
After a while, the starting order of the women's race has also been decided.
To Zhang Yuan's surprise, Zhong Liti won the first starting position with an advantage of 0.3 seconds!
Liu Tao fell into second place.
"If I give you a chance, you won't be able to use it..." Zhang Yuan rubbed his brows.
"Fortunately, I have prepared a backup plan..." (End of Chapter)
