Huayu 1995

Chapter 122 "A Song of Betrayal" (Seeking monthly votes)

With the money given by the princess, Su Chao could now freely swipe through the random shop.

He didn't go fishing the next morning.

I just caught a big fish, and it's hard to catch one after another—I've caught big fish for two days in a row.

It gets light quickly in summer.

Around five or six in the morning, Su Chao rode his motorcycle more than 100 kilometers to Tangshan.

I was just in time to get back before recording the song.

These days, road conditions are worrying. The Beijing-Harbin Expressway only started construction in September 1996, so you can only take National Highway 102.

Su Chao didn't dare to risk his life too much.

He found that the 10 points of beginner driving experience awarded by the system were quite useful, and the motorcycle became much more obedient.

A random shop spawns at the small restaurant next to the hair salon...

Call ~
Su Chao breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the hair salon with its doors tightly closed, clearly not yet open for business.

If you just go in for a stroll at night, it's not a big deal.

We can just look around and not order anything.

Even if I get caught without taking my pants off, I'm not afraid.

But it would be too embarrassing to knock on someone's door so early in the morning.

The young ladies and older women inside must have been overworked last night.

Small restaurants are easier to run.

Su Chao swaggered in, ordered a bowl of mutton soup, and a few chess-piece-shaped sesame cakes.

Chess piece sesame seed cakes are a local specialty. They are golden in color, baked until crispy inside and out, with a fresh and fragrant meat filling. They are crispy, delicious, and not greasy. One bite and you'll feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Of course, the biggest gain was the three items that Su Chao had just acquired.

The first thing to do is naturally to open the blind boxes.

Some people like to save the surprise for last, and even when eating dumplings, they eat the dumpling skin first.

Su Chao is different.

He opened the blind box immediately.

May the heavens and the earth bless you.

Three o'clock!

A little directing, a little playing, a little photography!
Although he doesn't have the singing and acting skills that Su Chao currently desires, they are still above average in terms of attributes.

And they give you three points at once.

Originally priced at 300,000, I got it for 3,000 – it couldn't be more satisfying.

The second is the song "Betrayal Love Song".

There are just too many songs labeled as love songs, such as "Single Love Song," "Betrayal Love Song," "Wanderer Love Song," and "Little Love Song."

"Betrayal Love Song" is also one of the best among them.

Su Chao quite likes this song.

However, he hasn't decided yet whether to put it on the first album or save it as the title track for the second album.

Even though the first album had many good songs.

With "Betrayal Love Song" as the title track on his second album, it's not fair to say that he's lost his touch.

Finally, here's the main course from this month's random shop.

Product Information: My Sassy Girl

Overall system rating: 8.3
Creation start date: October 18, 1999

Release date: August 26, 2001

Bonus gift: Theme song "I Believe"

Compared to other product information, this time there's something different.

Free gift!

This system... is ours!

He truly gave what he could; not only did he provide Korean lyrics, but he also gave a Chinese version.

Just this one song.

Could it be worth 30,000 yuan?

Shin Seung-hoon cried himself unconscious in the toilet.

Actually, this movie is adapted from an online novel. The so-called starting date of creation is February 18, 1999, which should be the first few months of the online novel's serialization.

The author probably conceived the idea around this time.

Unfortunately, Su Chao will definitely have to release the movie before 1999, or even before the Asian financial crisis of 1997.

This author will never have the chance to become famous with this novel.

Actually, the movie and the original work are very different.

The original work is even more cruel to the male protagonist, and is completely a novel where the female protagonist gets a great deal of satisfaction.

Slapping the male protagonist on the subway is just a basic tactic; kicking him in the groin is just one example of the many things that can happen.

However, movies are made for everyone, so naturally they won't be so morally questionable.

How can you make money if you make male viewers uncomfortable?

Now, with the sunflower in hand, I rule the world! Hahaha...

Got it wrong.

Now that the script has been bought and the pen is in Su Chao's hands, he can change it however he wants.

This script definitely needs major revisions.

After all, many of the settings are based on Korean culture and customs.

Su Chao needs to be changed to a Hong Kong background.

Fortunately, Hong Kong in 1995 was quite prosperous, and the Four Asian Tigers could easily support an urban romance. He still needed to downplay or change some of the plot points that bothered him.

Rather than letting it follow the original timeline, Su Chao might as well mess with it.

While maintaining the overall style, try to do it according to your own wishes as much as possible.

Rebirth...isn't it all about change?
"Boss, how much is it?"

Su Chao took out his wallet—he was a respectable man now, and he had a lot of cash on him, so much that he couldn't fit it all in his underwear.

That place was already very crowded.

"Six yuan and twenty cents is fine. Judging from your accent, you're not from around here, are you?"

The shopkeeper took ten yuan and gave Su Chao his change.

He really didn't cheat Su Chao; the young man ate a lot and even had extra meat added.

"Yes, I went to Beijing on business and had always heard that the chess piece sesame cakes from Tangshan were delicious, so I made a detour to have breakfast here. When I saw your store, I knew that the food must be good, and it truly lives up to its reputation!"

Su Chao's rhetoric has permeated every aspect of life.

He treats everyone equally, whether they are divas, princesses, or breakfast shop owners.

Besides, he's only just made a little money; what right does he have to look down on honest shop owners?

"Hehe, if you have time, you can stay here for a day and leave tomorrow. The hotel on the left and the hair salon on the right are both mine. I can pick a good one for you...hehehe..."

The locals are indeed very hospitable.

I thought this guy was an honest person, but I didn't expect him to be a prison-type heartthrob.

"Oh my, brother, you're so talented, so amazing... It's a pity I have to leave soon. I've already wasted a lot of time trying to get breakfast from you. Wait for me to come back... Brother, it's a deal, you have to pick me a good one, I like big breasts..."

Su Chao talks a lot of nonsense; not a single word of his is true.

That's how it is when you're out here in the world.

The boss was very happy to be flattered by him.

Not only did they tell him where he could refuel his motorcycle, but they also made sure the fuel was genuine, and they even slipped two bottles of drinks into his hand.

"Be careful while riding your bike, don't drink on the road!"

"This isn't appropriate, but thank you anyway~"

Su Chao couldn't refuse, so he took the drink, went to get some gas, and then left the city.

These days there aren't as many restrictions on refueling.

Moreover, there are few gas stations and no electronic navigation, so it's impossible to refuel anywhere along the road.

Su Chao needs to bring an extra plastic bucket and tie it to the car.

The scenery along the way was beautiful.

Unfortunately, the combined effects of the "Scroll King" attribute and the "fear of death" buff made Su Chao afraid to look around recklessly.

Perhaps one day I will achieve great success.

Only then can we properly see the local customs and culture of thirty years ago.

Having rehearsed for three days and gone through all the songs, Su Chao's album began recording as soon as he returned to Red Star Production Company.

In fact, the team had already started working in the morning.

Even if Su Chao isn't there, they can still record; they'll record the basic audio tracks first.

Record the voices when Su Chao is there.

After mixing and layering the harmonies, you can create the master tape.

Singers typically prioritize recording in the morning, meaning they record vocals between 7:00 AM and 12:00 PM and instrumental tracks in the afternoon.

In addition, the recording process for a formal album is very rigorous.

Su Chao recorded "The Moon Caused the Trouble" in just one day, mainly because his purpose in recording it was to take the tape to a karaoke bar to sing.

When recording an album, it's common to record a song three to five times.

It's just like a director making a movie.

Click, something doesn't feel right, let's do it again.

Okay, this is alright, but it's not quite there yet. Let's do it again.

Click, this one's good, let's get another one...

The first song we recorded was "Little Sun," and we spent a whole day trying to finish it.

On the one hand, the team is still getting used to each other, and on the other hand, Zhang Yadong's requirements are just too high.

Don't be fooled by his future potential to become a top producer.

In fact, Su Chao's "The Moon Caused the Trouble" was the first album he produced as an independent producer, overseeing the entire production process.

Anxiety, fear, lack of self-confidence...

This man, who was said to have a refined and elegant demeanor, quickly became thinner.

There was not a trace of refinement in him.

He has a lot of energy and is excited all day long.

"Did you practice this section with Teacher Lin? Yes, you did. If you did, then practice some more. Teacher Lin is going home for a nap. She's the last one to arrive this morning. She gets up so late and still needs a nap?!"

Zhang Yadong could hardly believe his ears.

If you knew that there were such things as jobs on Earth, you shouldn't have come down to the mortal realm in the first place.

"She got home late last night, so isn't it normal that she can't get up this morning?"

And sometimes they even have to attend training courses for free.

"you……"

What else can Zhang Yadong say?

Bro, women are going to hinder your career advancement.

Any woman who seduces my brothers will be punished according to the oath of brotherhood, even if she is weak!
