Huayu 1995

Chapter 134 Brother Chao is very happy (Seeking monthly votes)
"You can go to the back and take a nap..."

Thor saw Su Chao pull open the passenger door and reminded him that the back seat was more comfortable.

"I get carsick when I sit in the back..."

Su Chao gave a weak smile.

"Why are you working so hard? You don't even go home to sleep at night."

Thor fastened his seatbelt and started the car.

"Tomorrow will take its own course. Since these animals have insisted on staying up all night, I have no reason to back down..."

Su Chao snorted.

"You can close your eyes and take a nap, just don't disturb me while I'm driving."

Thor couldn't quite understand this competitive spirit.

"I'm not sleepy...I want to see the scenery..."

Riding in a car, especially a sedan, feels really good. I'll buy a sedan and put it under the company's name. Not only can I get tax deductions, but I can also use it myself.

"If you're not sleepy, get out of here!"

Thor was furious. How could this shameless bastard be getting more and more shameless?

Where are you looking?
"There are more and more demolition sites..."

Su Chao sighed.

I don't know when it will be the courtyard's turn, and then I'll be homeless.

The courtyard was actually quite nice, but unfortunately, there was a huge "demolish" sign on the exterior wall, and its fate was inevitably to be demolished and replaced by high-rise buildings and shopping malls.

This became commonplace over the next two decades.

It's not obvious now because many houses are still owned by the public. But once housing is privatized, many people will become rich overnight due to demolition and relocation.

Having a fortune of tens of millions is not a dream.

While driving, Lin Zhimeng glanced at Su Chao out of the corner of her eye and noticed that he had fallen asleep.

When he was asleep, Su Chao looked like an honest child.

She's rather good-looking.

After returning home, Su Chao took a long nap, only to be woken up by the ringing of the phone.

Only after answering did I realize it was Yan Siyuan.

"Come to the karaoke bar! It's important, very important!"

Yan Siyuan shouted very loudly.

"What's going on? Are the raiders here? Do I need to pay them ransom?"

Su Chao asked curiously as he got up and put on his clothes.

"Andy Lau is here!"

Yan Siyuan said excitedly.

"Andy Lau...what's he doing here?"

He actually went to a karaoke bar to have some fun, but he owes more money than I do.

Andy, you've come to see your Brother Chao. Brother Chao is very happy, but you don't have much money now, so Brother Chao doesn't like you.

"I've come to find you!"

Yan Siyuan's voice was still filled with excitement.

Liu Dehua came to see Su Chao. He was happy for Su Chao and felt a sense of pride in him.

Su Chao rode his motorcycle to the karaoke bar.

"Forgive me for not uttering a single word / Life is gathering at this moment / You once searched for / A lost voice..."

At that moment, he felt like Wah-dee with a nosebleed, but unfortunately, he was missing a rich woman named JoJo on the back of the motorcycle.

When Su Chao arrived at the karaoke bar, it was already 8 p.m.

He wore a hat and entered discreetly.

I've overused my voice recording these past two days, and I really don't want to go on stage to sing again tonight.

I wouldn't sing even if you paid me!
However, he was still stopped by someone.

The person who stopped him was Sha Baoliang, who was obviously lying in wait for Su Chao.

"Brother Liang, what's up?"

"Brother Chao, why haven't you been to the karaoke bar for days? The songs you gave me were really good, do you have any more?"

Previously, Sha Bao Liang hoped that Su Chao would not come to the karaoke bar.

With Su Chao's arrival, he was destined not to become the top star of the nightclub, not even if he surpassed Wu Xiubo.

He is now longing for Su Chao.

She keeps staring at the entrance to see if Su Chao has arrived; she's practically turned into a waiting-for-husband statue.

"I'm glad you like it, but it won't be available for a while."

Sha Baoliang's shop also had a song called "Floating," but unfortunately there was no discount and it wasn't cheap, so Su Chao was too lazy to buy it.

Creating too many mediocre songs will damage his reputation.

"Really gone?"

Sha Baoliang was still not quite convinced; he felt that Su Chao simply didn't want to write it for him.

She was afraid that if she became famous, it would affect his status.

"No more, really no more!"

Not a single drop left!

Holy crap, I knew I shouldn't have written this for you.

I wrote a song for you, but you still don't trust me, and you won't offer me a condition that I can't refuse.

Sha Baoliang had no choice but to release Su Chao.

He was the top host at the karaoke bar—at least during the few days Su Chao was away—and his activities naturally attracted the attention of the guests.

Then, we saw Su Chao, who thought he had disguised himself very well.

He was still wearing his usual T-shirt—with ridiculous Donald Duck printed on both sides.

"Chaochao, come sing!"

There's no way to leave now. I should have gone through the back door.

Su Chao knew that the karaoke bar had a back door.

The back door doesn't actually mean there's a door leading to the road behind it.

If it were that simple, when Lei Zi was arresting people, he would have just blocked that spot, and they would have caught every single one of them.

There is a room with a hidden door on the second floor of the karaoke bar.

You can go through the hidden door to the next room, and then you can leave from there without any problem.

Su Chao felt that he was like Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs"—upright and honest, so he always met Huang Zhicheng on the rooftop.

There's really no need to use connections.

If you use the back door too often, it loses its stealth.

"Hello everyone, I've been recording an album these past few days and haven't been able to see you all. I've missed you so much..."

Now that it's been discovered, there's no need to hide it.

That would chill people's hearts.

Su Chao chose to go up on the small stage and greet everyone directly. The atmosphere at the scene was indeed enthusiastic.

The guests in the private room all looked down curiously to see what was going on.

Su Chao!

Su Chao is here!

"This is Su Chao..."

Chen Jiantian breathed a sigh of relief; he felt a little awkward sitting next to Liu Dehua.

Although he was also in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, he wasn't very familiar with Andy Lau and they didn't have any direct interaction.

She was just called over by Yan Siyuan to keep the guests company.

In addition, he and Andy Lau have a slightly awkward past incident.

The Black Panther band was able to release their first official album because the princess introduced them to Chan Kin-tim.

After the album "Black Panther" became a hit, they started organizing concerts.

In 94, at the Hong Kong Coliseum, a group of rock youths from Beijing, including the Magic Rock Three and the Tang Dynasty band, held a rock carnival that lasted for three and a half hours.

This is the "Hong Kong Coliseum Concert" that was later mythologized.

In reality, this was just a business experiment.

It did not bring about any substantial change to mainland rock music.

Only rock music fans consider it a peak.

However, something very embarrassing happened at that time.

All who come are guests, and they are all top representatives of the mainland music scene.

So the people there started a conversation about the Four Heavenly Kings.

How should we view the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong?

The Four Heavenly Kings were the most popular figures in Hong Kong at the time, or rather, they were very influential figures in the entire Chinese-speaking world.

Using this topic to chat with these young rock musicians from mainland China is actually giving them a lot of face.

However, these rock youths showed them no respect whatsoever.

"Who are the Four Heavenly Kings? Are they Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the others?"

"They are four big jokes."

"Apart from Jacky Cheung, who can be considered a singer, the rest are clowns."

Everyone spoke freely.

Only Dou Wei declined to comment on the Four Heavenly Kings.

This kind of evaluation of the Four Heavenly Kings has put those in charge of operations in Hong Kong in a very awkward position.

The Hong Kong media present were all stunned.

When reporters interviewed the princess's agent about this, the agent remained silent with his head down.

I originally wanted to help them develop their careers in Hong Kong, but before we could even get started, we'd already offended everyone in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

The so-called "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" reached their peak, which was also their end.

After Hung Hom, its fortunes plummeted.

Even those above them were not satisfied.

It's not that rock music is dead, nor is it that the record industry is dead; it's just that people are courting disaster.

Mistaking ignorance for individuality.

The Four Heavenly Kings are indeed a commercial entity. Apart from Jacky Cheung, the other three are not very good at singing. However, they must have some talent to have reached this point and be able to make a living from this.

Those who also want to make a living from this situation shouldn't overturn the pot.

Although Chen Jiantian was not involved, everyone knew that Black Panther was someone he had introduced.

Even though he left the Hong Kong music scene, he still carries the labels of Beyond and Black Panther.

Upon meeting Andy Lau, he felt inferior.

On the contrary, Andy Lau was very proper and didn't mind such a small thing at all.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, he is the most popular, but also the most controversial. This level of criticism is nothing to him.

He felt a sense of kinship when he met people who had come from Hong Kong to open record companies in mainland China.

Fellow villagers meeting.

We're all from that village...

At this moment, without Chen Jiantian's reminder, Liu Dehua had already seen Su Chao standing on the small stage.

Su Chao started singing after taking the stage.

When Andy Lau arrived, he first sang "Secretly Infatuated," which was also a way of paying tribute to the guests.

"Please don't do this / Lingering in my gaze / You'll realize I'm unbearably lonely..."

"This song is dedicated to my friend who has come from afar!"

After he finished singing, Su Chao added a sentence.

"Haha~"

As Andy Lau listened to Su Chao sing his songs in the private room, his smile never stopped.

Su Chao said he was a friend.

He was very happy.

"This kid is an honest boy..."

Yan Siyuan was also in the private room, and he spoke well of Su Chao.

"Honest..."

Chen Jiantian rubbed his face, mimicking Yan Siyuan's gesture.

He now finally understood why Yan Siyuan liked to rub his face when he mentioned Su Chao.

"Next, I'll dedicate this to my older brothers and sisters, 'It's All Your Fault,' it's all your fault for spoiling and loving me..."

Su Chao chose a Cantonese song for his second song.

This is also a form of sales.

Andy Lau came to him, definitely to write a song, not to ask him to accompany him for drinks.

The news that he wrote a song for the princess should be spread by now.

Liu Dehua stopped talking and listened quietly and seriously to Su Chao singing.

He didn't come to the mainland specifically for Su Chao.

That's an exaggeration.

He came to the mainland to discuss his concert.

Although he had previously been approved to hold concerts in mainland China, he would have to reapply if he wanted to do it again, and the process was very complicated.

He needs to stay in mainland China for a period of time.

I heard that a songwriter from mainland China wrote a song for the princess and received a fee of 120,000 yuan.

He was also very curious.

After all, 120,000 for a song is a top-tier creation fee in Hong Kong.
