Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 186, "Too Softhearted," is now available.

"Honey, I'm going to the US. Do you want to come?"

"Honey, are you thanking me for helping you get rid of Wang Zuxian?"

"No, I just want to spend more time with you."

"Oh, I'm truly flattered."

On the bed, Cao Jian and Chen Hong whispered sweet nothings to each other.

She now knows that Cao Jian has at least three or four other women besides herself.

Wang Zuxian, a great beauty, goes without saying; it was he who helped push her into Cao Jian's arms.

Chen Derong is not only good-looking, but also young and knows how to act coquettishly.

Besides these two, there is another woman who is pregnant, but we don't know who she is.

In addition, Yuan Jieying also seems to be very interested in Cao Jian.

Besides these, who knows if there are any more?
But how could Chen Hongzhen not be moved when her own man wanted to take her to the United States?

"It's settled then. You go and apply for your visa during this time, and we'll celebrate the New Year together in the US."

Cao Jian brought Chen Hong along because this woman wasn't too jealous and could help him deal with other women, making her the most suitable person to have by his side.

"Honey, I love you to death!"

Chen Hong was even more excited and hugged Cao Jian, giving him a kiss.

She had read "A Native of Yenching in New York" and had long wanted to visit the United States to see the extravagant lifestyle under capitalism; now she finally had the opportunity.

"I'll be very busy these next couple of days, so I won't be able to come see you."

"it is good."

Although I guessed that the man might be going to be with other women before he left, I was happy to go to the United States and spend time with my lover. I'll stay alone for a while.

In the following days, Cao Jian recorded songs during the day and learned about the editing process of "Manchu Han Imperial Feast".

He lingered around several women at night.

Wang Fei is now three months pregnant, so they can be intimate.

"Honey, what song are you writing?"

That night, Wang Fei saw Cao Jian writing furiously, composing a song.

"An English song."

Cao Jian didn't raise his head; his mind was filled with images and scenes from the classic romantic disaster film, "Titanic."

He wanted to finish writing the song before going to the United States, so he could take the melody with him when he met James.

"My Heart Will Go On, the song title is quite interesting."

Wang Fei gently leaned on Cao Jian's back, wanting to watch her lover's creative process.

"Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you"

Looking at the melody and lyrics, she couldn't help but sing just one line, and then she couldn't stop.

The melody of this song is so beautiful, and the lyrics are so beautiful too.

Wang Fei's English is already quite good, and after studying in the United States for a year, English is not a problem for her.

When she sang: "No matter how far you are from me, I believe my heart is with you. You knock on my heart again, you merge into my soul. My heart goes with you, follows you. Love touches us every moment, until the last moment of life, I don't want to lose you, forever."

Gradually, she seemed to feel the presence of love in these beautiful lyrics.

"Honey, was this song written for me?"

Cao Jian had promised Wang Fei that he would write three songs, but he has only written one so far. Therefore, she thought that this English song was for her.

"No."

Cao Jian finally looked up and pulled Wang Fei into his arms: "You might not be able to sing this song with the right feeling."

Wang Fei protested, "Why? Is it because I can't sing well?"

"Honey, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just that my standards are too high."

Cao Jian explained with a smile, "This is the theme song I wrote for an American movie. My goal is to win the Oscar for Best Original Song."

"An Oscar statuette?"

Wang Fei was completely stunned.

My boyfriend has such ambitions?
She immediately watched the song again, and it seemed that it might actually be possible.

"People should have ideals."

Cao Jian chuckled and said, "I heard from a friend in the United States that James is filming a movie about Titanic. I looked into that and then wrote this song."

No wonder you're going to the US.

Wang Fei then realized what her boyfriend was doing in the United States.

So, it turns out they were planning something big.

But he still worried, "That James is a big Hollywood director, would he really use your song?"

"He can use it or not, it's up to him. Besides, I brought money with me."

"You still have money?"

"Yes, I brought a sum of money, a total of 300 million, to invest in this movie." "A loan?"

"Yes, if we don't take out a loan, all our money might be enough, but then our cash flow will be cut off."

Cao Jian calculated that with a loan of 300 million, the interest over three years would be less than 100 million at most.

But Titanic grossed over two billion US dollars. If I invest fifty million US dollars, I can earn at least two or three hundred million US dollars.

It's mainly US dollars.

There's no risk of loss, and using bank money to generate more money for yourself is a win-win situation.

This song was just a stepping stone.

Wang Fei still worriedly said, "Honey, the songs you wrote are very good, but three hundred million is not a small amount. What if we lose it?"

"Then you'll take care of me."

"Okay, then I'll take care of you."

Hearing Cao Jian say this, Wang Fei suddenly really hoped that Cao Jian would suffer a loss.

If her boyfriend runs out of money, Vivian Chow might leave him.

Hong Kong women are very pragmatic.

Cao Jian also laughed and said, "Then you need to make more money! When are you planning to release 'Red Bean'?"

"The company told me to release a Cantonese song first, and then a Mandarin song next year."

"Alright."

Cao Jian was well aware that the popularity of Cantonese songs in the music scene would only last a few years.

Let Wang Fei enjoy her moment in the limelight in Hong Kong for the next couple of years.

For ordinary people in Hong Kong, the last day of mid-December was just an ordinary day, no different from any other.

But for Cao Jian's fans, this was a day they had been waiting for for a long time.

Because today, their idol will be releasing a new album.

As early as a month ago, PolyGram launched a full-scale promotional campaign for the album, with promotional posters for the "Too Softhearted" album displayed in almost every music store.

That day, before dawn, long queues appeared in front of almost every music and video store in Hong Kong.

Fans have only one goal: to buy their idol Cao Jian's new album as soon as possible.

"Sister Xiaoran, why are there so many people?"

Before 7 o'clock, Zhang Baizhi went to a music store near his home, wanting to buy an album to support his godfather who sponsored his school life and also helped him with filming.

But when she and her roommate Li Xiaoran arrived at the video store, they found that even though it wasn't open yet, there was already a line over a hundred meters long.

The group consisted mostly of young girls, some of whom even had tents set up, suggesting they had arrived in the middle of the night.

Are all fans this crazy?

After arriving in Hong Kong, Li Xiaoran has been living with Zhang Baizhi for some time now.

She never expected that Cao Jian's fans would be so terrifying.

The two were at the back of the line, but before long, the line behind them grew by several dozen meters.

"It's all your fault for sleeping in. If it were our turn, would the album have sold out?"

Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, Zhang Baizhi felt a bit resentful towards Li Xiaoran.

"How can you blame me? You were the one who stayed up all night watching 'Plum Blossom Mark'."

"You didn't see it?"

"I can only understand half of what I read in Cantonese right now; you're the one reading it."

Although the two are four years apart in age, when they argue, they really do seem like sisters.

After arguing for a while, Zhang Baizhi realized he couldn't win the argument, so he said, "Sister Xiaoran, how much do you think I can earn this time?"

"I don't know, but there must be quite a few."

As the two were talking, they heard a girl who looked like a high school student chatting with her companion behind them.

"I heard that Brother Cao Jian is going to hold a concert, did you know?"

When will it open? Is it reliable?

When his companion heard that their idol was going to hold a concert, he immediately asked excitedly.

“I have a relative who works at PolyGram, and he told me this, so it should be reliable. Apparently, it will start next May.”

"Then we need to try again to grab tickets, otherwise we might not be able to."

"I definitely have to grab the tickets early, this is our brother's first concert, I really want to hear him sing 'Until the End of the World' live."

"I want to hear 'MY LOVE'."

……

The conversation between the two filled Li Xiaoran with a sense of pride.

It turns out that my kind and gentle older brother, who usually takes good care of me, is so popular in Hong Kong.

At that moment, the door of the music store finally opened, and the crowd that had been queuing rushed into the store in a frenzy, more terrifying than a battle charge.
