Chapter 161 I Want to Strive on My Own

Chapter 161 I Want to Strive on My Own (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)

Late at night, Su Chao treated everyone to a barbecue, the kind with unlimited beef and lamb.

They even served some kidneys.

Some people like it.

Su Chao didn't eat. In his previous life, he would occasionally eat when he was middle-aged, but now that he has such a vigorous body, there's no need for him to eat.

The key point is that he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Whether that thing is useful or not is a matter of opinion.

It's definitely protein, no doubt about it.

The next day, Su Chao finished filming his scenes in "Turn Right with Left Signal," and the movie was almost done shooting.

When Huang Jianxin learned that Huo Jianqi had used up all of Su Chao's 35mm film and hadn't even left him a single music video to satisfy his cravings, he immediately felt as sour as if he had drunk Shanxi aged vinegar.

As for Su Chao's claim that the advertisement was well-made and the music video for the title track exceeded expectations, Director Huang scoffed at it, believing that Su Chao was simply unsophisticated.

With a half-baked director like Huo Jianqi who hasn't directed a single film yet, what good stuff could he possibly make?

Su Chao was speechless.

Inwardly, however, I was furiously complaining: "I just didn't ask you to do any work, why are you being so sarcastic?"
I'll get something for free next time, okay?
That's right.

On Huo Jianqi's side, Su Chao shamefully got a free ride.

They did give me 30,000 yuan for the advertisement shoot, but I didn't spend a single penny on the three music videos.

Su Chao's quote to Chen Jiantian stated that the director's fee was five thousand per song.

This 15,000 yuan must be reimbursed by the record company.

He took advantage of Huo Jianqi for free and owed him a favor, so why should the Red Star Production Company benefit?
The Red Star Production Cooperative doesn't belong to him yet.

After the last scene ended at noon, Su Chao also received a message from the system that the random shop had been refreshed.

They even sent over three items from the store.

Dialogue attribute +6, price 60.

Attribute points increase talent, which is very expensive. Although there is no strict pricing, a single attribute point can be worth millions.

With six points in dialogue attribute, you'd probably become a dialogue genius overnight.

With a few years of practice or accumulating experience, it might be difficult to rival Wang Zhiwen, but he can definitely go toe-to-toe with He Bing.

Unfortunately, even with a discount, it still costs 60.

Su Chao isn't getting many roles with lines these days, so he doesn't plan to raise money to buy this.

We couldn't raise the funds.

Despite being the boss, Chan Kin-tim doesn't actually have much money in his pocket.

All of their savings over the years were invested in the Red Star Production Cooperative.

Once a person develops a conscience, it is almost inevitable that he will become poor.

Yan Siyuan and Sister Hong just invested money into Yuanmeng Advertising Company. Asking them to put in more money would be absolutely unreasonable.

Lin Zhimeng, on the other hand, seemed a little unsure of her capabilities.

However, Su Chao didn't think she could lend him another 500,000 or 600,000 yuan.

Why.

They are living, breathing people with their own lives and a little red hat to support.

Borrowing five or six hundred thousand from someone with whom you have no relatives or friends.

Even those with a "love-struck" mindset wouldn't be this brainless, especially since there's no romantic relationship at all.

In other words, one of the three items was discarded.

The second is the song.

Super Star!
Damn it, this song is totally unsuitable for me.

Su Chao was very dissatisfied with this.

However, seeing the song's price of 16,000, he suddenly thought it was a good deal.

Product Information: Super Star

Lyrics, composition, and arrangement: she/Shi Rencheng/Jade, Geoman From Sweetbox/Jade, Geoman From Sweetbox
Overall system rating: 8.5
Creation start date: October 11, 2002

Release date: August 22, 2003

This song is one of S.H.E.'s signature songs. The group quickly became popular across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong with this song, and became a regular on radio request charts.

The system provides not only a Chinese version but also an English version.

This song is not a cover.

It is said that Geo, the maker of German candy boxes, took the initiative to seek cooperation and tailored this song for SHE.

She only added English lyrics after she made the song a hit.

A song with an 8.5 rating, originally priced quite high.

The random shop broke my leg and gave me a price of 15,000.

Su Chao still decided to buy it, and then... then he would sing it. It's not like no male singer has sung this song before, nor is it labeled as a female singer.

However, Su Chao thought it would be worth trying to adapt the material with Xu Wei.

There are many adapted versions of this song, including a Henan opera version.

It has a unique charm.

After the revisions, it became the first song for the Super Yellow Band.

That's right, Super Yellow Band!
This band wasn't formed to flaunt that the three of them liked doing lewd things.

Moreover, although he can obtain songs from the system, he himself knows nothing about songwriting.

I feel very guilty when talking about music.

So Su Chao learns vocal music from Thor, and also learns some music theory and musical instruments.

Creators can specialize in only one instrument, or even not specialize in any at all, but they cannot be completely ignorant of any instrument.

Thor didn't seem to care.

She would teach Su Chao whatever he wanted to learn, and she wouldn't give him a hard time unless Su Chao brought her breakfast and catfish at seven o'clock in the morning.

Actually, Su Chao had no idea that she was giving him the cold shoulder.

If you're going to give someone the cold shoulder, you should have the attitude to do so. You don't even know how to get angry, which makes it too difficult for someone as thick-skinned as me to notice.

The third item is a blind box.

Script blind boxes.

You'll only be able to see what's inside after you open it.

It costs 500 yuan.

Another blind box priced at 500 yuan!

That's the difference!

The script for "My Sassy Girl" displayed outside is selling for 80,000 yuan, while the script in the blind box is selling for 500 yuan. I should have known better than to buy "My Sassy Girl".

Although "My Sassy Girl" has a good script and even comes with a Chinese-Korean bilingual version of "I Believe," it's still not as good as a 500-yuan movie.

It's practically like getting it for free.

We don't need to worry about the attributes; the song and blind box cost 15,500.

The random shop spawn locations are a bit ridiculous.

It was actually painted in Tsim Sha Tsui.

My name is Sang Biao, not Duan Kun. What's the point of going to Tsim Sha Tsui?

However, the actor who played Duan Kun was quite skilled; besides Duan Kun, he also played You Tanzhi, and the actor himself even dated Isabella Leong.

I definitely have to go.

Just then, Milkyway Image was about to open, and Su Chao had received an invitation to attend the ceremony.

The first script the film company started working on was "The Birth of a Gangster". In the screenwriter section of the project proposal, Su Chao was listed after Wai Ka-fai, Zou Kai-kwong, and Situ Kam-yuen.

Although I ranked fourth, at least I got my name listed.

It can only be said that Wai Ka-fai is a very meticulous person. Su Chao only talked with him for two hours, and he appointed Su Chao as one of the screenwriters.

As one of the screenwriters for the company's first play, it's not surprising that Su Chao was invited.

Su Chao didn't say he wouldn't go.

Nonsense, even if you don't have time, you still have to act like you're very excited, honored, and really want to go.

At most, I just have something to do temporarily that keeps me away.

To express my regret and pain, I wish I could split myself in two and send one half over to join the celebration.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense to go there in a few days.

Unfortunately, airfare is not included.

These days, for similar events, guests have to pay for their own airfare, and at most, the other side will arrange hotel accommodations for the guests.

I doubt they'll cover it for "New Shanghai Bund".

This is a necessary expense for celebrities.

If Su Chao goes to Hong Kong, he plans to sign the acting contract for "New Shanghai Bund" while he's there.

Even if you sign the contract, there's no guarantee the role won't be snatched away.

However, as long as you've signed the contract, you can get some compensation if you lose the role.

It started raining heavily when I was leaving the film set.

Su Chao and Lü Bu were both soaked to the bone.

The early autumn weather was chilly with the rain.

Moreover, one section of the road was extremely muddy, and after falling twice, the two had to get off and push the motorcycle.

"Abu, let's go take a look at cars sometime!"

Su Chao wiped the rain off his face, feeling a stinging pain in his eyes.

He has certainly experienced hardship.

When I was a child, I would basically ride a bicycle to school whenever it rained.

That dilapidated little bicycle made noise from every part except for the bell.

In the internet age that followed, many people reminisced about their childhood.

No way I miss my childhood!

What you miss is not your childhood, but the carefree days when you were protected.

Beyond this protective layer, trauma lies everywhere.

Your parents are worried that the prolonged drought may result in a reduced crop yield this year.

They're worried because their company has released another list of laid-off workers, and they might be next.

They have all experienced the unbearable burdens of life that weigh you down.

You've forgotten the hardships you endured as a child, and only remember the carefree sweetness.

Anyway, Su Chao doesn't miss it.

He's incredibly awesome now.

Once he had a few bucks in his pocket, he thought it would be great to have a car.

They don't pursue luxury or comfort.

Even a Mazda would be fine!
At least it will prevent him from getting soaked in the rain.

In the summer, you can also enjoy air conditioning.

He could shamelessly borrow Thor's bicycle and motorcycle, but a car was really going too far.

He still wanted to work hard on his own.

"Brother Chao, stop dreaming. Put your phone away properly so it doesn't get wet."

Lu Bu held onto the handlebars and pushed the cart forward.

If the phone breaks, that would be adding insult to injury to our already impoverished family.

"Don't worry, it's covered with a plastic bag."

Cell phones back then were precious and far less waterproof than cell phones in later generations.

In the future, even if a cell phone falls into the toilet, it can be retrieved and continued to be used.

“I have another bag in my pocket. You should cover it with another layer. If water gets in, it will be ruined. This is your most valuable possession.”

Lu Bu took a bag out of his pocket, inside which were his two pagers.

One of the pagers originally belonged to Su Chao, but now he can use it.

It is generally used for business transactions.

"Let's put them all together; pagers are expensive too."

Su Chao put his cell phone and pager together, wrapped them in two layers of bags, rolled them up, and put them into his shoulder bag.

Actually, at this time, using a diaper bag is more effective.

Next time I can put two in my bag.

Just in case it comes in handy.

He sighed, "I'm still damn poor."

Sooner or later, I'll have to buy Lu Bu a cell phone too, after all, he's my manager.

He also wants to find a place to rent a bedroom by himself.

What kind of life is it to live with a bunch of female demons?
