Chapter 177 I'll bite you to death, you bastard (Seeking monthly votes)
"It does seem to be... Su Chao, right?"

After opening it, I saw the album poster, which contained Su Chao's photos.

Several photos, some even close-ups.

A classmate who had spent three years with Su Chao could recognize him at a glance.

However, the changes are too great!
When did Su Chao become so handsome? When did he become so charismatic?

Su Chao was indeed handsome in the past, but he always looked rather rustic.

I heard that his family is very poor, and he can wear the same clothes for several years.

Sometimes the shoes have a hole in them, and your toes can stick out.

Without a hairstyle, there's no point in talking about dressing up.

He remained silent all day long at school.

I never interact with people.

He could even be described as "reclusive".

There were no particularly good friends, nor were there particularly bad friends.

Many people think he's a big, dumb guy.

When female classmates confessed their feelings to him, he was completely oblivious to their advances.

I don't know if I couldn't understand it.

Now, Su Chao is a sunny and handsome young man.

They looked like completely different people.

"I heard he went to work in Beijing, I didn't expect him to be doing so well."

"I'd love to be a singer and release an album too."

"Stop talking, let's listen to the song first. I'm really curious about how Su Chao sings."

The cassette tape was put into the tape recorder.

As the play button was pressed, music filled the classroom.

I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say goodbye to you, because maybe I'll never see you again...

It was Su Chao's voice.

Some people still remember it; after all, even those who say very little can still speak.

Sometimes we also have to read the text and memorize vocabulary.

"Tomorrow I will leave / this familiar place and you / we will part / and my tears will fall..."

One by one, the students buried in piles of exam papers and books quietly stopped writing.

They weren't quite sure whether they were drawn in by the melody or the lyrics.

There were no fancy words or elaborate singing techniques.

The simple and unadorned words strike a chord deep within.

"why are you crying?"

"You shed tears too."

"I never expected this kid to sing so well. I've known him for three years and never heard him sing before. I've really missed out."

"These days will never be erased from my heart. Is this written for us? It sounds a little sad..."

"Probably, it sounds like the day after the college entrance exam."

"I always thought he was a loner, but it turns out he cherishes his high school life so much and is so sentimental."

"It's not that he's unsociable, it's that we didn't understand him."

"I don't think I ever said goodbye to him properly."

"Me too."

"He's usually too low-key."

"I didn't know he could sing so well. He's handsome and sings so well."

"He's bound to become famous in the future, and we'll be able to say we know a celebrity."

Do you think we still have a chance to see him?

"His home is around here, so he'll have to go home eventually. I just don't know if he'll attend the class reunion."

"The lyrics say, I can't promise you/whether I'll come back/I won't look back/I'll ​​keep walking without looking back..."

"Yes, we must all keep going without looking back. Let's all work hard and strive to get into university!"

"I want to take the exam and go to the capital. I want him to treat me to a meal!"

"Yes, we are his classmates!"

"Put it down and listen to the other songs. There are fourteen in the catalog."

"Yes, listen to other songs."

The usually quiet classroom for senior high school repeat students, where everyone is diligently studying, is now playing music.

Almost all the students were listening.

The homeroom teacher stood outside the window and witnessed this scene from his death perspective.

At that moment, the classroom was filled with the sound of singing:
Sweat crystallizes into a time capsule / Alone I pioneer this destiny / Single-handedly I drink with the world / Through hardships I never forget my original aspiration / To be my own glorious knight / Bravely chasing the rising sun of my dreams...

The hand that was on the doorknob was pulled back.

The homeroom teacher sighed.

These children are suffering so much.

It's not time for afternoon classes yet, so let them listen to music if they want.

Even on the other side of the cassette tape, with its love songs, the homeroom teacher didn't enter the classroom to disturb them.

After listening to the album, everyone became numb.

Each song can bring a great shock, but if there are too many shocks, you'll become numb to them.

It's like being sucked in cold air; it just suddenly stops.

"Have you guys noticed that most of these songs were written and composed by Su Chao?"

"It seems to be true, he wrote the song himself!"

"He feels increasingly unfamiliar." "Yeah, is this still the Su Chao I know?"

"You really can't tell from his usual demeanor; this kid is such a good actor."

"I think, maybe he's not faking it, but we just haven't understood him, or we haven't observed him carefully enough!"

"That's right. I remember he often wrote and drew in his notebook and wouldn't let anyone see. Could it be that he was creating art?"

"Do you remember that although his math was terrible, his Chinese was excellent, especially his composition, which he once got a perfect score on?"

"If he hadn't been so bad at math, he definitely would have gotten into Hebei University of Technology."

“Yes, he sometimes mutters to himself when he walks, but he stops when you get close. I feel like he's just reciting song lyrics.”

“I remember during breaks, everyone would go play ping-pong, but he never went unless he needed to go to the bathroom. He always stayed in his seat, probably working on his creative projects at that time.”

"Sigh, I originally thought he was too dull, but I didn't expect him to be creating art."

"Perhaps geniuses are all lonely!"

As for whether Su Chao is a genius, industry insiders are actually more curious.

Not everyone has the chance to go to Casablanca to hear Scottish Premiership perform.

Su Chao is now going to Casablanca less often.

I'd be lucky to go once or twice a week.

Most people who went to stake out the place were disappointed, but they did hear Sha Baoliang sing a song that Su Chao wrote for him.

The quality is just so-so.

Furthermore, after hearing that Su Chao sold a song for 120,000 yuan, many people immediately backed out.

Su Chao has finally released an album!

Whether a song is good or bad can be seen from its album.

Many industry insiders bought the album immediately.

Not only in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan, many people in the industry are curious about what Su Chao wrote that could be worth 120,000.

Kelly Chen is one of them.

She just debuted this year, appeared in Jacky Cheung's music video, starred in "Fairy Tale", and released "Intoxicated Lover" with lyrics by Chow Lai-mau and music by Mark Lui.

Princess Lin's debut was naturally accompanied by a large entourage.

Unfortunately, although the media wrote that he became an instant sensation, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that he wasn't truly famous.

She doesn't have much acting talent.

In a highly competitive market like Hong Kong, it's extremely difficult to become famous through film and television dramas.

Therefore, she can only pursue a career as a singer.

As long as you have one really popular song, you can become an overnight sensation.

However, her first song, with lyrics by Chow Lai-mau and music by Mark Lui, already represents top-tier talent for a newcomer in the industry.

In the music scene, there is a group of people who often mention "the two Chows," which refers to two heavyweight lyricists in the Hong Kong music industry—Chow Lai-mau and Chow Yiu-fai.

Zhou Limou has many representative works.

Priscilla Chan's "Red Tea House", Andy Lau's "Happy Monkey", Aaron Kwok's "Wild City", and so on.

As for Mark Lui...

He won the Best Original Film Score award at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards for his performance in "The Butterfly Lovers".

Princess Lin has no shortage of money.

Her family doesn't have much of anything, except money.

Whether it costs 100,000 or 200,000 yuan per song, it doesn't matter to her at all.

The key is that it's worth it!
She bought a copy of Su Chao's album as soon as it was released in Hong Kong.

The person in the poster is quite handsome.

Kelly Chen told herself that this was a face reading, to see if this person was a good-looking but rotten-in-the-inside good-for-nothing.

After a brief delay, she quickly started listening to music.

then……

She was completely captivated.

What made her even happier was that Su Chao could actually speak Cantonese.

That song, "It's All Your Fault," is sung in Cantonese.

As soon as the tape finished playing, she contacted her agent, Jong-jin.

She entered the business through her relationship with Yee Chung-Wen.

Yee Chung-man handed her over to top agent Chung Chun to manage.

"Sis, I'd like to ask Su Chao to write a song for me!"

Kelly Chen was straightforward and immediately stated her thoughts.

"Him...it's not that he's not a good candidate."

Zhong Zhen didn't ask who Su Chao was. She brought a singer along as her manager, so it was impossible for her to be completely unaware of the trends in the music industry.

She not only knew that Su Chao wrote a song for the princess, but also that Su Chao wrote a song for Andy Lau.

However, the song Su Chao wrote for Andy Lau was quite bizarre.

It left her a little confused.

"I listened to his album, and it's full of great songs. This jerk doesn't care about good songs at all. He just crams everything into one album, and every single one of them could be a single. Every single one of them is better than mine..."

Kelly Chen's voice almost cracked as she spoke.

A violent thing!
It's simply... simply so enviable.

She had been pampered since childhood and had never been so jealous of anyone.

So this is what jealousy feels like.

I wish I could bite that bastard to death.

Anyone can become ruthless once they've experienced jealousy.
