After he sent his mother back to her bedroom, Zhang Xiaohua couldn"t help but laugh: "Mum, you go and have a good rest. I"m going to check out some things."After Zhang Xiaohua turned to go out, Zhang Shaofang suddenly asked: "Xiao-Hua, are you okay?"
A mother knew her child the best.
Zhang Shaofang knew her own son very well and knew how profound her son"s feelings for Cao Feifei were.
This child loved to play with Cao Feifei. Every day, he hoped that he could enter into the marriage hall with Cao Feifei and form a family with her. He almost loved her to the point where it seemed crazy.
But now the engagement was cancelled and she was afraid that her son would be heartbroken and do something tragic like committing suicide. If he couldn"t handle it and did those stupid things, then how could she have the strength to carry on living?
"I"m fine." Zhang Xiaohua stared into her eyes and smiled brilliantly. From the beginning to the end, he was indifferent. Of course, for now, there was nothing worth worrying about.
Zhang Shaofang was also relieved and full of loving comfort: "Oh, Xiaohua, you"re still young. There are plenty of opportunities. You can"t keep dwelling on that girl. You mustn"t think about it too much. Your dad has already left me and I really can"t withstand any more blows, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohua understood, she was afraid that he couldn"t withstand losing Cao Feifei. Her worry wasn"t unreasonable after all, the real Zhang Xiaohua did actually commit suicide for that girl.
, he thought to himself.
"Mum, you can put your heart at rest, I won"t disappoint you." Zhang Xiaohua"s face was filled with a bright smile, in his heart, he vowed to get revenge on the Cao family.
Listening to him, Zhang Shaofang also finally calmed down and, at the same time, she even felt that this child seemed to have grown up overnight. There was a mature charm about him, it was exactly the same aura his father had when he was younger.
It seemed that this child"s own growth would sadly be because of his father"s death, but at least he became more mature and sensible, which allowed her to finally feel a little bit of joy!
"Well, you should get an early rest, I still have some more things to do." Zhang Xiaohua couldn"t wait to sit by the computer and take a closer look at this world. For him, this was the most important thing right now.
"What are you going to do now?" Zhang Shaofang looked at her son with suspicion. In her impression, this child was either going out to drink every day or was hanging out with those pig-headed friends of his. Listening to him now, saying that there are things to do with such a serious appearance, Zhang Shaofang could not help but feel curious.
"I want to start a business and become an entrepreneur!" Zhang Xiaohua said with an arrogant and awe-inspiring voice.
Although he sounded truthful, it made Zhang Shaofang speechless.
In her mind, the likelihood of the word "entrepreneur" coming out Zhang Xiaohua"s mouth was the same as finding out pigs could fly.
Sighing helplessly, Zhang Shaofang sternly said:
"Xiao-Hua, ah, the family"s money is running out and your father owes a lot of debt on the outside which we must repay. Although your father is dead, it"s a natural thing to do. Mother will try to solve the problem, so you should not worry. You have now grown up and, in the future, you just need to give me less trouble, spend money responsibly and learn to keep the house. Do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded earnestly: "I understand, but you can rest a.s.sured that I will make some money as soon as possible. I want to help alleviate the burden on our family as well."
As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Xiaohua ran back to his room in a burst of smoke and sat in front of the computer to dive head first into researching this world"s background.
It wasn"t until 2 AM that Zhang Xiaohua finally got a firm understanding of his new world.
It had almost the exact same history to his previous world and it was also divided into seven continents and five oceans. Even the names of various countries weren"t too different. Many of the major companies still existed, for example:
The Chinese currency of yuan was still here, with only the country name being changed from China to Huaxia.
Unlike Earth, however, where there were loads of cla.s.sic TV dramas or movies available for people to enjoy during their leisure time. In this world, not even mentioning what the movies and TV drama looked like, this place didn"t even have a single decent song.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua was a ma.s.sive fan of television in his past life. He loved to watch movies and he listened to music from nearly every genre. He had some insight into the entertainment industry as well. After all, he attempted to become a musician himself.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua was confident that if he was to enter the entertainment business, it shouldn"t be too difficult. It could even be called fate.
Next, in order to thoroughly understand the entertainment industry in this world, Zhang Xiaohua simply watched some scenes of currently popular movies and TV series.
It was unbearable!
Although the picture quality was first-rate, there was no plot, no logic, no point of view and even the actors were a mess as there was no temperament and no performance skills at all in their acting.
Zhang Xiaohua listened to several of the most popular songs of the day. As a result, he almost dropped his headphones.
"These song lyrics are so
what the actual
! There is absolutely no rhythm at all and they have literally just ruined a whole genre. This is even worse than those c.r.a.ppy 80"s songs from Earth!"
Zhang Xiaohua was depressed and he almost cried. It wasn"t only him, even the netizens were also angry about this. Complaints filled the comments section of all the major record label sites as they all complained about the lack of talent in the entertainment industry. Compared to garbage, it was really hard to spot the difference!
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua also saw the unlimited business opportunities in this world.
Since the entertainment here was so dry, based on the memories of his past life, he could at any time bring a burst of popular songs and movies to life in this world.
There were no heavenly king level celebrities, so he would create them and rule the entertainment scene.
No big girl groups, then he would cultivate four golden flowers and kill thousands of otaku and netizens.
No "My Love from the Star" which made binge watching TV a weekend ritual.
Then he would shoot "My Love from the Star," and watch everyone bow before his might.
As for those cla.s.sic martial arts dramas of old, it was also simple. Grandpa Jin Yong"s "The Eagle Shooting Trilogy", Gu Longbo"s "Little Flying Knife Series", Liang Yusheng"s "White Haired Witch", these immortal cla.s.sics would all be brought back to life in his hands.
If he entered the movie market, we could start with "Hero" and then gradually enter Europe and the United States. Then have a "t.i.tanic", which would further establish his status as the "King of Entertainment".
As for those various variety shows and celebrity interactive programs, he believed that these could also create extremely high ratings. At that time, absolute financial resources would be available. The premise was that he must first train a group of popular superstars.
Fortunately, he could use those cla.s.sic songs from Earth that everyone was singing, he could make full use of it in the world. In the future, he would come up with a song and create a star overnight.
Zhang Xiaohua was depressed again and realised an issue!
Although he could extract the lyrics and tunes of those cla.s.sic songs from Earth, he didn"t know how to produce music and a song without a beat was equal to a person without a soul.
In simple terms, he could only sing and couldn"t arrange music.
It seemed that he must first find a person who understood music to fight side by side or build a professional team.
Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua began to intoxicate himself again. He only felt that the future was bright and his business opportunities were limitless. At the same time, he gradually developed a huge plan in his mind.
The most important thing now was to find a few guys who understood music to create the beat he wanted and then set up a team to create the instrumental and find a singer to perform the song. It really was just the matter of getting manpower.
Taking out his mobile phone, Zhang Xiaohua began to flick through the contacts list.
From top to bottom, most were are all his pig-headed friends who just partied all day. They would definitely be of no help. Since these people learned that Zhang Xiaohua"s family situation had plummeted, they have almost severed relations with Zhang Xiaohua.
These people were useless and it would be pointless to keep these numbers, so Zhang Xiaohua rushed to delete them all.
When he inadvertently saw Cao Feifei"s name, he felt a rush of anger burning incessantly, his hatred for Cao Feifei was obviously overflowing!
It would be absolutely impossible for Zhang Xiaohua to have no hatred for Cao Feifei.
After all, Zhang Xiaohua became the master of this body and also a member of this world. Later, he would continue to live with his ident.i.ty as Zhang Xiaohua. However, Cao Feifei was ruthlessly stigmatized in his new life.
Enraged, Zhang Xiaohua was about to delete Cao Feifei"s number but suddenly hesitated...
In the end, he chose to keep it.
This wasn"t because he still had feelings for Cao Feifei, but he hoped that one day the caller ID would reappear with the name "Cao Feifei" because when that day came, he believed it would be the day when Cao Feifei would beg for him back and at that time he would get his revenge.
