Huayu 1995

Chapter 192 Leslie Cheung Wants to Invite You for a Drink (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Wakin Chau is very honest. After hearing that Su Chao had arrived, he immediately brought a bag of money to his door.

He's very famous now, so he still needs to pretend.

They were hiding their identities and carrying cash.

He doesn't look like a good person at all.

However, Su Chao liked him, and he liked anyone who gave Su Chao money.

"Oh my, you're my favorite singer. I never thought we'd finally meet."

Liu Dehua went to wash the fruit.

Su Chao gave his "favorite" singer to Wakin Chau.

He started liking many singers, including Zhang Yu.

He loved each and every one of them deeply.

What did he do wrong? He just made a mistake that all men make.

"Thank you, thank you for entrusting this song to me."

Before auditioning, Wakin Chau was simply very curious and couldn't resist the challenge.

He sings martial arts songs so well, and he also has a competitive spirit.

"I'm just finding the right person for the right song. Besides, you're a songwriter too, so you can definitely write the right song as well."

Su Chao did not underestimate Wakin Chau.

In terms of composing, Wakin Chau's talent should not be underestimated.

"Here's 200,000. Besides this song, 'The Sutra That's Hard to Recite,' I hope you can give me another one."

Wakin Chau is indeed capable of creating music, but it's simply not enough.

Now that we've encountered someone with such formidable strength, we're bound to engage in some kind of "forced sale."

They never expected that this would play right into Su Chao's hands.

When he touched Wakin Chau's hand today, he had already opened Wakin Chau's shop.

Three items, one of which is "Glass Bottle".

Wakin Chau is not just a singer; like Wu Bai, he has acted in many films and television dramas.

These days, most singers also pursue a career in film and television.

Singing leads to acting.

Su Chao had no interest in the script, which was worth over 100,000 yuan.

What impressed him most was Stephen Chow's cameo appearance in the film. While he may not have overshadowed Hendrik Willem Van Loon, he certainly stole the show.

Some of it was taken by Stephen Chow, and some was taken by the dog that could drag Stephen Chow along.

In addition, there are two songs, one is "Friends" and the other is "Is There a Song That Will Make You Think of Me".

Neither song is cheap; together they cost over 120,000.

However, Su Chao knew that both of them were good songs.

He didn't want to let any of them go.

So he hoped that Wakin Chau could help him share the burden. He said, "You contribute 100,000, I contribute 20,000, and we'll each take one song after we buy it."

All are happy.

Upon hearing that Wakin Chau wanted to buy another song and had even brought the money, Su Chao unhesitatingly pulled out the song "Is There a Song That Will Make You Think of Me" from his bag.

This song is no worse than "Friends".

However, its popularity is unlikely to match that of a song like "Friends" that expresses friendship.

"Is there one ready-made?"

Even Wakin Chau was stunned.

He is also a creator, and he knows how difficult it is to create a song.

Unexpectedly, Su Chao was able to directly produce the inventory.

Little did he know that as long as there were enough in the store, there would be no problem with stockouts.

"Wow~"

Liu Dehua brought over a plate of washed fruit and saw Su Chao's familiar cassette tape demo.

He was also shocked back then, but now it's Wakin Chau who's shocked.

Clearly, Wakin Chau wasn't any more successful than him.

"Brother Hua, have you had enough songs? I actually have some that are more suitable for you."

While Wakin Chau was listening to music, Su Chao turned his attention to Andy Lau.

"Uh, custom-made?"

Liu Dehua put down the fruit plate and actually became interested.

"Absolutely..."

Su Chao remembered a song that seemed to be called "My old man/I live in this village/I am a native sheep in this village...", but unfortunately he never saw it in Andy Lau's store.

This time, Andy Lau's store only has one song, "Love's Longing is a Disaster," which was written this December and will be released next year.

If you don't buy it now, it will be too late.

So Su Chao wanted to monetize this song today.

Unfortunately, there was no "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (a popular Chinese song).

This is the true foundation that laid the basis for Andy Lau's widespread popularity in mainland China.

After "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was released, it became so popular that every street and alley played Andy Lau's music.

"it is good!"

Liu Dehua rubbed his hands together and said, "I didn't prepare it today, but I'll bring the money to you tomorrow."

"No need, just consider it my rent. If you let me stay in this house for a few days, I won't have any objections, but I can't feel at ease letting you let me come and stay whenever you want. Since you treat me like a brother, don't be polite with me."

This time, Su Chao didn't mention money again. While the song was alright, it still fell short of "World's Number One."

And after the discount, it only costs 16,000.

It would be perfect to use it as rent.

"One thing at a time. If you keep doing this, I won't be able to ask you to write songs for me next time."

Andy Lau thought about it more deeply.

There's a reason why even close brothers should keep clear accounts; once the balance of interests is disrupted, even the best of friendships can turn sour.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If I find something suitable for you, I'll definitely give it to you directly."

Su Chao didn't think that one thing should be kept separate from another.

Given Andy Lau's status in Hong Kong, they took such good care of him, even giving him their own house to live in.

Even a superstar like him helped wash fruit to serve guests.

If I told anyone, probably no one would believe me.

If Su Chao doesn't show any reaction, then he's not just shameless.

While the two were still struggling, Wakin Chau had already finished listening to the song.

"Is 200,000 enough?"

Wakin Chau gave all his money to Su Chao, so this trip was definitely worthwhile.

"Enough is enough."

Su Chao nodded quickly; the book "The Difficult Sutra" was bought earlier.

The songs "Friends" and "Is There a Song That Will Make You Think of Me" cost a total of 120,000 yuan.

Su Chao essentially lost 20,000 yuan, but got a song called "Friends" for free.

Friends for life / Those days are gone / A word for a lifetime / A lifetime of friendship in a cup of wine...

Liu Dehua paid 16,000 yuan out of his own pocket for the film "Love is a Disaster," which allowed Su Chao to live in his house without feeling guilty.

I lost 36,000 yuan today, but I didn't really suffer a loss.

Su Chao only had 70,000 to 80,000 yuan left.

That's far from enough to pluck Lin Xi bald.

However, Su Chao wasn't worried at all; this was Hong Kong, after all.

He is now famous.

There will definitely be many people who want to buy good songs from him.

What's more, Kelly Chen is waiting for him to sleep with her.

"I'm so happy today. Thank you, Chaozai, and thank you, Andy Lau."

Clutching two music demo discs, Wakin Chau couldn't stop smiling.

Su Chao was easier to talk to, and it was Liu Dehua who introduced them, which really touched Zhou Huajian.

There's a reason why Andy Lau is so popular.

He's currently releasing songs in Taiwan and is now expanding into Hong Kong, challenging the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings. He's a direct competitor of Andy Lau. They not only allowed him to audition, but after feeling he was a good fit, they directly recommended him to the songwriter.

Such magnanimity, such openness...

"I should be thanking you. It's because of you that these two songs have come to life..."

Su Chao's skin is so thick that even dozens of gangsters with knives couldn't cut him down, making it seem as if he really created these two songs.

"Don't be shy, let's go out for a meal together. Oh right, Leslie Cheung wants to treat you to drinks, are you going?"

Liu Dehua remembered this matter.

"Let's go, everyone! Let's eat something first, then go for drinks."

Su Chao had no reason to refuse Leslie Cheung.

They might also be his clients.

"That's not appropriate, since they didn't invite me..."

Wakin Chau is from Hong Kong, but he went to university in Taiwan, debuted in Taiwan, and became famous in Taiwan. He is considered an outsider to the Hong Kong music scene.

"Hey, we're all friends, what's wrong with having a drink together?"

Su Chao didn't care at all.

There are no absolutely good people in this world, especially since he's from mainland China.

It's even less likely that you'll encounter only good people around you.

There are plenty of people who don't like him.

Therefore, when Wai Ka-fai invited him to come to Hong Kong as an assistant, he refused outright.

If you come here at that time, you will definitely face all kinds of difficulties and exclusion.

Wu Jing also failed to make a name for himself.

All things considered, only Li Lianjie truly made it big.

The same goes for Milkyway Image.

Don't be fooled by Lin Xue's success; it's because she went to Hong Kong early. There are many more people like Lin Xue who went to Hong Kong but didn't make it big.

After all, Su Chao's role for Wai Ka-fai was limited to offering some suggestions on "The Birth of a Gangster," and he wasn't even a proper screenwriter.

But now it's different.

Andy Lau treated him as an honored guest, and Emil Chau thanked him for "tailor-made" the song for him.

Leslie Cheung certainly didn't seek him out to humiliate him.

They all considered him someone important, which is why they wanted to associate with him.

In that case, Su Chao, with his exceptional talent, could certainly be even more arrogant.
