Huayu 1995

Chapter 194 is so vivid (Seeking monthly votes)
"I hope to act in the new movie you wrote. Please give me a chance!"

Wang Zuxian discovered that saying those words wasn't actually that embarrassing.

She doesn't want to leave the entertainment industry.

What can she do after retiring? People always need to do something to avoid feeling empty.

"..."

Su Chao glanced at her and said, "Let's get down to business."

"I'm willing to act for free without pay!"

Wang Zuxian also knew that she had to give something in order to make people willing to take the risk of using her.

Even if Leslie Cheung were there, it would be impossible for her to reach into Su Chao's crotch.

He decided to act for free.

According to her understanding, the script Su Chao had was a romance film, so the budget wouldn't be too high, and she wouldn't be able to give much anyway. It would be better to do him a favor and increase her chances of success.

Besides, she wasn't that short of money.

"Zero pay?"

Su Chao was finally somewhat moved.

If we exclude the lead actors' salaries, this movie could probably be made for around four or five million, since it can't be made in a shoddy way.

Romance films emphasize aesthetics, so at the very least, the visuals and cinematography must be up to par.

Hong Kong stars still command relatively high salaries.

Su Chao's original plan was to choose a newcomer or someone who wasn't popular, so that the cost could be reduced.

I never expected to find one that didn't cost any money.

These days, when you're out in the world, the scariest thing is encountering someone who's reckless, and the most desirable thing is encountering someone who's willing to spend money.

"Are there any suitable roles for me in movies? I'd like to make a cameo appearance for free."

Leslie Cheung didn't miss Su Chao's relieved expression.

He didn't mean to look down on Su Chao.

Making movies these days isn't easy, especially for first-timers.

You have to spend money everywhere.

It's always best to save money wherever possible.

"Does the female lead's ex-boyfriend, who passed away a year ago, mind?"

Su Chao was overjoyed.

This character appears very little, but is present throughout the entire story.

Logically speaking, Su Chao could have just played the role himself, and with a slightly different look, it would have explained why the female lead treated the male lead differently.

After all, he is his aunt's son, so there is a certain blood relationship between them.

But if Leslie Cheung were willing to make a cameo appearance, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?

It's worth noting that the pairing of Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong was incredibly popular in Hong Kong, and even though Joey Wong's reputation was ruined in Hong Kong, there were still quite a few people who supported them.

"What's there to mind?"

Leslie Cheung was in a good mood. He had helped Joey Wong get a chance to ask Su Chao for help, and unexpectedly, it actually worked out.

As for whether Joey Wong will have the luck to make a comeback with this movie, that's up to fate.

He had done everything he could to be kind and righteous.

"Actually... I have two songs that would be perfect for you, like they were tailor-made for you. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Su Chao also knew that releasing too many good songs in a short period of time would easily lead to skepticism.

but……

What can they possibly question?

They questioned whether he was reborn and called the Time and Space Administration to arrest him.

It was because he wrote so many good songs that he was sent to the Center for Research on Abnormal Humans.

Actually, the real problem is the market.

If a year suddenly produces a lot of great songs, these songs will compete against each other, and the outcome that should have swept the music scene may be rewritten.

Fortunately, it is still the year of the War of the Gods, and divine songs are emerging frequently.

Another drawback is that once Su Chao has collected most of the good songs, there won't be much left to collect.

When that happens, everyone will say that Su Lang has run out of talent.

Su Lang is limp, Su Lang is no longer capable, Su Lang can't get hard anymore...

This is actually not difficult to solve.

If Jonathan Lee can leave the music scene, why can't he?

When he ran out of money to make, he bid farewell to the music scene.

Besides, he'll definitely be a big shot by then, who will be qualified to ask him to write songs?

What kind of song?

Leslie Cheung doesn't actually lack songs, and he doesn't have much ambition in singing.

"Here, you can listen to it."

Su Chao couldn't resist. The main reason was that Leslie Cheung's songs might not be as popular, so the system prices weren't high. Plus, with the discount, he only spent less than 30,000 yuan to buy the two songs.

He bought them all without saying a word.

One song is "Me", and another is "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter".

If Leslie Cheung is willing to buy these two songs, he will have the money to buy the singing experience points on Leslie Cheung.

10 points of advanced singing skills experience.

It can be exchanged for 100 intermediate singing skill experience points or 1000 beginner singing skill experience points.

The price is only 60,000 yuan.

I've gained singing experience points from fishing a few times before, but unfortunately, not every time I did, and even with all the scattered gains, I didn't get 30 points of beginner singing experience.

Adding 1000 points now would definitely be a qualitative leap.

Previously, we didn't have the money to buy experience points.

It's different now.

Once you gain fame, plenty of people will throw money at you to buy your songs.

Su Chao is not worried about the fact that the song copyright has not been registered yet, as his current major clients are basically superstars or near-superstars.

They spent 100,000 yuan to buy a song.

The money's already spent; there's no need to resort to underhanded tactics, as it would only jeopardize future collaborations. Just then, Wakin Chau and Andy Lau returned.

The two returned laughing heartily, clearly having had a very pleasant conversation.

In reality, many celebrities don't have that much conflict; it's just that their personal positioning, promotional strategies, and fan pressure create tension.

For example, Andy Lau and Emil Chau.

The two are not even on the same track; there's really not that much backstabbing between them.

"I... I'll take both!"

Leslie Cheung took out his checkbook and pen and quickly signed out 200,000.

"Uh, okay!"

Su Chao scratched his head; he had only spent less than 30,000 yuan on these two songs in total.

The original plan was to sell it for 100,000 yuan, even if it was a bit of a rip-off.

Earning 70,000 would be enough to buy singing experience points, but I never expected Leslie Cheung to be so decisive.

Sigh, they're all rich people after all.

Of all the people here, who isn't worth tens of millions? Only he would value 100,000 or 200,000 more than his chastity.

"Can I have a check? Didn't you say Su Chao only accepts cash?"

Wakin Chau felt incredibly stupid for hiding a large bag of cash in the dark.

“I have cash, and it seems the princess does too.”

Liu Dehua touched his nose.

"I really like cash, it's very impactful, but checks are nice too, haha~~"

Su Chao chuckled twice.

Damn it, what exactly are people saying about him right now?

Greedy and lustful?

Their eyes light up and they can't move when they see money.

When playing with the princess, they like to scatter a layer of banknotes on the bed and then throw her on top of it...

Damn, that's so vivid!

"Why are there so many 'Hello' songs?!"

Wakin Chau is also a songwriter, and Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung have also written many songs, so they know how difficult songwriting is.

"I'm the inspiration-driven type, and I've had a lot of inspiration in the last year and a half..."

This was the only explanation Su Chao could offer.

"Then we hope you have lots of inspiration."

If you could buy a hit song for 100,000 yuan, and it was tailor-made for you, who the hell would still want to rack their brains to create their own?

The feeling of not being able to create is like taking a dump – it's incredibly uncomfortable.

"I try so hard~"

Su Chao has already bought 10 points of advanced singing skill experience.

After receiving it, it automatically converted into 1000 points of beginner singing experience, which was applicable to him at the moment. Su Chao used it without hesitation.

He's going to sing at the concert by the Queen and Andy Lau.

He didn't expect to put on a big show at someone else's concert, overshadowing both the princess and Andy Lau, but he also didn't want to pull a big stunt on stage.

What if I sing off-key...

"Hey, you sang this song really well, much better than the others."

When Wakin Chau heard Su Chao sing again, he was stunned for a moment.

We went out for a little while.

What exactly happened in the private room, and how did they manage to open up the Ren and Du meridians?

"I'm quite familiar with this song by Brother Hua. I'm preparing to participate in his concert recently, so I've been practicing it for a few days."

Su Chao's explanation came easily to mind.

He has indeed been practicing a lot of Andy Lau and Princess songs lately.

As a guest performer at the concert, he'll sing one of his own songs, one of the host's songs, and maybe have some interaction with the audience.

"It certainly sounds like they've put in a lot of effort."

Wakin Chau praised Su Chao highly because, in his opinion, Su Chao's rendition of Andy Lau's song was not only skillful, but his singing technique had also improved significantly.

"Hahaha~"

Su Chao is too scared to sing anymore.

The main thing is that throwing in a thousand experience points really has an immediate effect.

Although it gets harder and requires more experience points as you go higher, there's always something to look forward to.

Surpassing the Four Heavenly Kings is just around the corner.

Well, at the very least, I'd be happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with the God of Songs.

Next, he mainly consulted Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, and Emil Chau on how to improve his singing skills.

I need your help in my spiritual practice!

If I had to find a reason to justify improving my singing skills...

Isn't it readily available right now?
Andy Lau, Emil Chau, and Leslie Cheung came down to give me guidance, and my singing skills improved significantly.

They teach well, and I learn quickly.

In fact, while the effect of spending 1,000 experience points is immediate, it cannot be fully absorbed on the spot.

There's another part that Su Chao needs to figure out for himself before he can gradually incorporate it into his own style.

Now three big names in the music industry are helping him.

That way it won't seem too abrupt.

The group played until quite late before leaving.

If Su Chao were a pervert, he should have offered to take Wang Zuxian home right now.

If Wang Zuxian is willing to offer herself, she will go along with it.

This kind of thing is commonplace in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, Su Chao was willing to use Wang Zuxian simply to use her, not to enjoy her.
