To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

Huangmei Opera is the inheritance of Xia Wanqiu's family. Song Jia was trained by her mother when she was a child and regarded it as the inheritance of the next generation.

It is a pity that at the end of the last century, the attraction of going abroad almost drove people of that era crazy, and Song Jia's mother was one of them.

At that time, Xia Wanqiu felt that opera had no future, so she had to change her career to become an actor or a star.

But Song Ji was very 'stubborn', so the couple often quarreled over this matter.

It was precisely because of the family environment in those two years that Song Jia's character gradually became closed off.

The fact that Song Jia was not autistic when she was young is considered to have a relatively strong personality, so Song Jia's current personality is largely caused by the woman in front of her.

Xia Wanqiu handed over the inheritance to Song Jia, and she gave up on her own, but Song Jia did not have Fang Xi. After Xia Wanqiu and Song Jia divorced and went abroad, Song Jia kept training every day. To this day, there is no one in China who can sing Huangmei Opera better than Song Jia. It’s those master-level existences.

At that time, just as Xia Wanqiu judged, not only Huangmei Opera had no way out, but the entire opera industry had no way out. So far, opera has become the smallest minority among entertainment projects.

This also made Xia Wanqiu more convinced that her decision back then was correct.

Now that Song Jia is old, Xia Wanqiu feels that she has her own judgment, so she wants Song Jia to come to Eagle Country for development.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to date Mickey, because she wanted Sonja to not start as a bit player like other actors after coming to Eagle Country, but at least let Sonja start as the third female lead in the movie.

Although Mickey is just a little-known director, in Xia Wanqiu's eyes, he is much more advanced than the big directors in China.

Song Jia shook her head: "I have no plans to develop in Eagle Country. In addition to visiting you and grandma, I am here to relax with my junior brother."

"Junior brother?" Xia Wanqiu frowned when she heard this, but she knew very well that Song Ji still kept his traditional ways.

What kind of era is this, and you still accept apprentices?

Now Xia Wanqiu thinks about it, there are too many stubborn things in Song Ji.

"You also learn singing? Peking Opera?"

Song Jia thought for a while, Xu Xuan learned Peking Opera from his father, right? Although this guy only comes once a week to chat with his father for an hour or something.

"Yes." Song Jia said.

Xia Wanqiu sneered: "If it was 20 years ago, there might have been some way out, but now if I learn to sing, will I have a chance to succeed? Or is domestic opera becoming popular again?"

Song Jia didn't know how to argue.

Xia Wanqiu didn't seem to want to make the atmosphere tense, so she took Song Jia's hand and persuaded her earnestly: "Jia Jia, you have to know that times have changed. Now is the era of actors and stars. There is no way out for singing. Come and follow." Mom, let’s develop. You know, Mom has a lot of connections in Eagle Country for nearly 20 years, plus your grandma has lived here for decades, you don’t have to worry about any problems after you come here.”

At this time, Mickey smiled and said: "Song, we all know very well what China is like inside. To develop in China, it is better to come to Na City. Here, at least your mother and I are here. Maybe, I can help you in Na City. You can make a few movies in the city and then take them back to China for promotion, so that you can directly be promoted to the first-tier artist in China, which is what they all do."

Sonja knew that Mickey was telling the truth.

This is not only true for the actor industry, but also for Xu Xuan's singing industry. If you participate in some competitions abroad, your reputation will rise sharply after returning home. If Xu Xuan hadn't been involved in the plagiarism incident, he would probably be a first-tier singer now, or at least he started out as a second-tier singer. .

Although Song Jia also wanted to get involved in the entertainment industry, she didn't do it this way.

What Xu Xuan said on the plane came to mind again. He said that he should first exercise in Eagle Country and then return to China to film "Farewell My Concubine". Maybe this path would really work.

Seeing her daughter's heartbeat, Xia Wanqiu continued: "Jiajia, the standard of this reception is very high. People who are not in the industry can't participate at all. If it weren't for Mickey, your mother and I wouldn't be able to come in. If there is a chance later, I will take you there. Get to know other actors or screenwriters or something like that.”

Xia Wanqiu didn't ask Song Jia to get to know the director. After all, Mickey was the director.

Mickey said excitedly at this time: "Hey, Song, you know, today's cocktail party was initiated by Nicholas Hooch, the godfather of science fiction, Nicholas Hooch. If there is a chance later, I will take you to meet him."

Song Jia was startled when she heard this. This was in response to what she had talked with Xu Xuan on the plane. However, Mickey had obviously misunderstood Xu Xuan. Maybe he thought Xu Xuan was bragging?

Xia Wanqiu, who was standing next to her, showed a slightly excited expression when she heard this. She looked at Mickey and said, "Is it really okay? You know Huo Qi, right?"

When Mickey saw Xia Wanqiu's admiring gaze, he couldn't help but puff up his chest. At this time, even if he didn't know him, he still knew him. Besides, Mickey had really met Nicholas Hoqi once, so he could be considered acquaintance.

"Of course, I am a member of the Actors Guild. Huo Qi's assistant often goes there to select actors. Oh, dear Xia, we should let Song join the Actors Guild first."

Xia Wanqiu nodded repeatedly.

It would be really great if I could get to know Nicholas Hooch at this cocktail party.

Xia Wanqiu never thought that she would be able to meet a director of Nicolas Hooch's level. Nicolas Hooch is really famous. His films have huge influence around the world, not to mention that he is a science fiction film director. godfather.

If you could star in one of his movies, you would become a global star almost instantly, even if it only takes a few seconds in a Nicholas Hooch movie.

The attraction of directors, especially great directors, to actors, especially actresses, is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Xia Wanqiu has struggled in Nancheng for more than ten years. If she could have met Nicholas Hoqi earlier, she feels that she would have struggled for at least ten years less.

So at this time, Xia Wanqiu was actually a little restless.

Song Jia sighed slightly in her heart.

She knew that her mother, an actress, longed for fame, but Song Jia still had no respect for such a mother.

Relatively speaking, her father's stubbornness towards traditional culture made her admire her very much, and she even regarded him as her idol.

Looking at her mother again, Song Jia can also understand a little bit of her father's helplessness back then.
