Huayu 1995

Chapter 143 What if you're being coerced? (Seeking monthly votes)
Even if it were Ma Dehua, let alone Andy Lau, Su Chao would still go fishing.

Perhaps it's because a distinguished person has come to visit, bringing many joyous occasions.

In the first hour of the morning, Su Chao managed to catch six fish after exchanging three fried dough sticks for an old man's fishing spot.

Although they were all small fish, it still counts as a record.

Gained several experience points.

Don't underestimate these basic experience points. Since Su Chao doesn't have money to buy more experience points, these experience points in singing, acting, and dialogue can definitely help him improve.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small.

If he were a fishing expert, able to reel in a line every three seconds, he would probably earn several hundred experience points every day.

When I returned, the students were in class.

This morning's class was taught by Wang Jinsong.

There haven't been any scenes featuring Su Chao in "Turn Left with the Signal" for the past few days. His character, Yang Wei, doesn't have much screen time due to the lack of any exploration of his family background—given his age, it's unlikely he'll settle down—so his screen time is inherently less than that of the other main actors.

But Wang Jinsong is different.

His role was very substantial; he was one of the most important lead actors.

I was able to come to class only because I had to squeeze in the time.

He was going to the film set to report for duty that afternoon, and the neighborhood committee aunties used their powers to treat his paralyzed mother.

To put it bluntly, it's addiction.

We're making the most of every minute to attend two classes.

He was the one most concerned about the enrollment situation for the second phase of Dream Home.

When will you start recruiting?

How many should we recruit?

Are there enough classrooms? Can you arrange accommodation for the students?

Su Chao was annoyed with him.

Are you the principal or am I the principal?

Even knowing that Andy Lau would be coming today, it didn't stop him from teaching his students.

Andy Lau can't eat it.

The trainees only knew that Andy Lau was coming; they were unaware that there were other people present.

In order to leave a good impression on Andy Lau, everyone listened attentively in class, as if Andy Lau would appear at the classroom door and secretly observe them.

It's similar to the person you have a crush on looking at you.

It's all an illusion!

But actually, when Andy Lau came, it made quite a commotion.

The car stopped at the gate, and Lu Bu and Liu Dehua's bodyguards escorted him directly into the courtyard.

If Su Chao hadn't stopped them, the students probably would have all rushed out of the classroom.

Don't be fooled by how proud everyone seems, like peacocks. In reality, when they encounter a big star, very few can remain calm.

Especially for those of them who dream of becoming stars.

Everyone stared at the doorway.

Wang Jinsong stopped talking.

It's only human nature; he's not unreasonable.

The students saw their principal walk out of the classroom and go to greet Liu Dehua.

Although the principal is indeed impressive, this is Andy Lau!

As everyone imagined, the principal would at least have to bow and scrape, with a big smile, to welcome Andy Lau into the house.

However, to everyone's surprise...

He certainly had a big smile on his face, but he was definitely not bowing or slouching.

It wasn't just Su Chao who had a big smile on his face.

Andy Lau also had a big smile on his face.

Moreover, he opened his arms to Su Chao from a distance, and when he got closer, the two gave each other a big hug.

Judging from their posture, they were practically about to hug each other and start kissing.

Uh……

Andy, did our principal find out something about you?

If you are being coerced.

Just blink.

"Thank you so much for your help today. Please don't mind the simple conditions here."

Su Chao apologized, but he wasn't ashamed at all.

Everyone has a period when their career is just starting out.

When Stephen Chow was just starting out, his mother had to work three jobs at the same time to help him.

Andy Lau is the same.

His family used to be farmers, and later they opened a small restaurant. He helped with washing dishes and other chores, and even boiled water for the restaurant.

Su Chao became a principal at the age of eighteen, while they were still working hard to pass the wireless training class when they were eighteen.

"What are you saying? It's a very elegant courtyard..."

Liu Dehua looked around and saw that it was indeed very rudimentary. When he got out of the car, he saw the conspicuous "Demolish" sign on the outer wall and almost lost his footing.

"Let's go in, the students are all waiting."

Su Chao led Liu Dehua inside.

The students, who were just moments ago incredibly excited and eager to go out and greet the crowd, have now calmed down.

People are even more curious about how their principal managed to hook up with Andy Lau.

The two people had absolutely no connection.

Even if the principal wrote a song for the princess, there's no need for Andy Lau to be so obsequious.

"Welcome, Brother Hua!"

Su Chao reminded everyone, and then everyone began to applaud enthusiastically.

"Hello everyone, I'm Su Chao's good friend. I'm very happy to be able to communicate and learn with you all today!"

Andy Lau's smile was very genuine.

Aside from not daring to publicly acknowledge his relationship, he has always been very sincere with his fans.

"Wah Jai, what is your relationship with our principal?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.

Don't even mention lovers, or our worldview will shatter and we'll smear our brains all over your face.

"Principal? Oh, Chao-zai, we're good friends..."

Liu Dehua suppressed a laugh.

Damn, you're only eighteen and you want to be a principal? Aren't you a little too eager for advancement?

How did you two meet?

The students pressed for details, mainly because the whole thing was just too bizarre.

It's so strange that everyone thinks it's perfectly normal for Michael Jackson to come to the training class tomorrow.

"Chao wrote two songs for me. We also got along very well and became good friends. You can look forward to these two songs."

Liu Dehua basically told the truth.

It satisfied the students' curiosity.

"These are all art students, dreaming of becoming stars like you one day. Brother Hua, could you give them some advice and encourage them to strive for success?"

Su Chao will definitely not let Liu Dehua off so easily.

Since you're already here, right?
People like Stephen Chow, Hendrik Willem Van Loon, and Andy Lau don't have particularly high academic qualifications, but every year many universities want to invite them to give lectures to their students.

There are many standards of success in this world, and getting into a prestigious university is definitely not the only one. "Actually, I don't have any particularly profound knowledge to share with you... I can only tell you about some of my failures and the lessons I learned from them..."

Liu Dehua was initially reluctant, but he couldn't resist Su Chao's persuasion.

I can only share my understanding of the "celebrity" industry under the guise of communication and sharing, so as to provide a reference for everyone's future career.

Speeches by successful people can easily inspire ordinary people to strive for success.

Even though Andy Lau owed a lot of money and was on the verge of bankruptcy, he was still one of the most popular stars in Hong Kong. No one thought that he became a loser just because he owed 40 million.

Wang Jinsong wasn't angry about having his class time taken away.

He's already finished his class time since 8 o'clock.

He even bought a genuine cassette tape of Andy Lau.

He wasn't a fan, but his girlfriend liked listening to Andy Lau's songs.

If he takes the autographed cassette tape back with him, that woman will definitely treat him well.

That means you can't just do whatever you want.

Su Chao kept glancing outside the door.

Seeing Guo Xiaodong nod at him, he immediately got up and walked out.

Li Baotian is here!
In order to better control the time and pace.

Su Chao arranged for Duan Ming's men to keep watch at several intersections.

Once they see Li Baotian arrive, they come over to inform him.

Li Baotian was riding a 28-inch bicycle, sweating profusely from the heat.

Fengxia Tobacco and Liquor Store.

The signboard is quite eye-catching.

Before he could even ask if there was a Dream Home training center there, Su Chao had already come out to greet him.

"Uncle Li~"

He didn't call Zhang Guoli or Wang Gang "uncle," but he called Li Baotian "uncle."

This is because he and Li Yu are good friends.

In addition, Li Baotian was older than his father, so he was addressed as Uncle Li.

Li Baotian didn't find it out of place either.

In fact, he didn't communicate much with his son, and even now he still thinks that Su Chao and his son have known each other for a long time.

“Your training center is quite far away. It takes me an hour to ride my bike here. No wonder Li Yu is thinking of moving here.”

Li Baotian sighed.

As a result, he did not agree, and his son Li Yu made a fuss about it every day from dawn till dusk.

The conflict between father and son accumulated over time in this daily life.

"Brother Yu is quite hardworking..."

Su Chao chimed in, saying that if it were any other parent, he would have showered their child with compliments, but not Li Baotian.

You won't win his favor if you praise his son.

"Let's go, let's get to class!"

Li Baotian didn't want to discuss whether his son was hardworking or not.

What's easy to do these days?
Who doesn't work hard?

Why shouldn't Li Baotian's son be hardworking?

"Uncle Li, let's sit inside and wait for a while. There are still people in class inside."

Su Chao quickly stopped him.

It's impossible to achieve a seamless transition, so we have to manually coordinate the pace.

"Row!"

Li Baotian nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Other teachers are teachers too; they're taking their own classes, so there's nothing wrong with him waiting a while.

"The person giving the lesson inside is Andy Lau..."

Su Chao cautiously remarked, genuinely worried that Li Baotian would fly into a rage upon hearing Liu Dehua's name and storm off.

"Oh!"

Li Baotian nodded, without any other reaction.

Neither happy nor angry...

"He came here this time to discuss a song called 'The Chinese,' and '97 is just around the corner..."

Su Chao was not discouraged and continued talking to himself.

"Ah~"

Li Baotian was finally moved.

He also once served as the deputy head of a cultural troupe.

Patriotism and awareness are essential qualities.

The 1997 Incident was a momentous event concerning national honor, and Andy Lau's willingness to sing such songs at this time filled Andy Lau with awe.

He also starred in a movie called "The Chinese" in 92.

"I think student education is not just about knowledge education. Morality is more important than knowledge, especially patriotism. If a public figure doesn't even have the most basic sense of national responsibility and only thinks about money, then what's the difference between him and an animal?"

An eighteen-year-old boy, speaking eloquently about education.

But he spoke to Li Baotian's heart.

That's what I think too!
Li Baotian nodded repeatedly at what he said.

"If a Hong Konger like Liu Dehua has such awareness, I think students should learn from him, learn from his dedication to his job, and learn from his patriotism..."

Su Chao further explained his purpose in inviting Liu Dehua.

"Andy Lau... his character is indeed very good..."

Li Baotian finally uttered a complete sentence.

He's not difficult to communicate with, as long as you're to his liking.

"Yes, back then he broke a boulder on his chest for disaster relief, and now he's willing to participate in such a grand event as the handover. Among Hong Kong stars, I think he's one of the best..."

Su Chao continued his brainwashing.

Who says a stubborn old man is hard to handle?

You didn't use the right method.

Li Yu was also stubborn, if he was willing to follow the methods he was taught.

They have long been a loving father and filial son.

After Liu Dehua finished sharing his life insights, Su Chao and Li Baotian went inside.

Liu Dehua certainly knew Li Baotian.

The film "Ju Dou," starring this actor, was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 63rd Academy Awards, and was the first Chinese-language film to receive an Oscar nomination.

It was also nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival.

Li Baotian, You Benchang, Ge You... these mainland superb actors are no less skilled than their Hong Kong counterparts.

Liu Dehua practically rushed down from the stage, taking three steps at a time, and very proactively came up to shake hands with Li Baotian.

My waist is bent at almost a 90-degree angle.

Showing great respect.

Su Chao's brainwashing was not in vain. Li Baotian was very polite to such a dedicated and patriotic Hong Konger.

The two shook hands for several minutes.

Lu Bu didn't miss the opportunity to capture the moment; his task for the day was to take photos.
