Huayu 1995

Chapter 195 The Queen's Concert (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Liu Dehua, however, took Su Chao to his place.

It follows a complicated process.

After delivering the package to my home, I went upstairs to have some tea.

Unfortunately, they were both men, and both were fairly normal; they obviously only talked about work-related matters.

"Now that we've hired Wang Zuxian, the porter market has become a battleground. We need you, Brother Hua, to come up with a solution..."

No matter how good Su Chao is, he can't do that.

No matter how good a movie is, it's all for nothing if it can't be distributed.

The original "My Sassy Girl" achieved an exceptionally high box office of 4874291 viewers on Bangbang in 2001, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year on Bangbang.

But if Su Chao has no way to sell the movie to the porters and can't get into the porter market, then all of this will be wiped out by the butterfly effect.

That's why he sought to collaborate with Andy Lau.

Hong Kong films have a well-established channel and experience for selling films to other regions.

“That’s not difficult. I have an older sister named Chen Peihua here. I don’t know if you know her? She used to be with Golden Harvest, so she can definitely get her albums released on Bangbang.”

Andy Lau had planned this all along.

His Sky Screen Company doesn't just consist of him; it also includes Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, Yu Weiguo, Chen Peihua, and others.

"I've heard of her; she seems to be the producer and executive producer of quite a few films."

If Su Chao had paid more attention to Andy Lau, he would have known about the older sister behind Andy Lau.

She has produced or supervised many classic Hong Kong films, including "Ashes of Time", "Saviour of the Soul", "Project A", "Long Arm of the Law", "Lucky Stars", and "Mr. Vampire".

He is a staunch partner of Andy Lau.

She helped Andy Lau navigate several crises and ultimately escaped unscathed.

"I've included her in our new film company too."

Andy Lau and Su Chao agreed to split the new film company equally, but in reality, the agreement was only to split it equally. As for how to distribute the remaining 50% after they took it back, that was up to them.

Liu Dehua then pulled Chen Peihua and Yu Weiguo along.

Su Chao originally wanted to give it to Thor, but Thor wasn't interested, which left Su Chao feeling helpless.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble her."

Su Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, opening up distribution channels outside of mainland China is not just a necessity for Su Chao for "My Sassy Girl".

The same goes for "Phone Booth".

It's simply unrealistic to expect to break even or make a profit in Hong Kong's limited market.

With the huge success of Hendrik Willem Van Loon's films, Golden Harvest extended its reach to the world. Although it has become increasingly powerless in recent years due to the decline of Hong Kong films, the path it has already taken can still be used to some extent.

"We can have a meal together sometime."

Liu Dehua took out some documents.

He and Su Chao founded a film company.

Its name is Galaxy Pictures.

Su Chao named Wei Jiahui's company Galaxy Image, and then he and Andy Lau founded Galaxy Pictures.

He played the two-timing game perfectly.

The mainland is still in the nascent stage of private film production, and anyone who wants to make an independent film will definitely need to register a film company in Hong Kong.

His collaboration with Andy Lau was the result of careful consideration.

Milkyway Image's style is too distinctive, and Johnnie To is too dominant. Su Chao couldn't control him, so making a film under Milkyway Image's system was almost impossible.

Moreover, Johnnie To would not actually appoint him as the Crown Prince.

Su Chao didn't want to do the work for someone else.

On Wang Jing's side, there's a possibility he might sell you out at any time for his own benefit.

Su Chao himself can be shameless, but he doesn't like others to be even more shameless than him.

It was through the song "Chinese" that I got to know Andy Lau.

This person has been in the industry for decades. Although he can't be said to be completely clean, he hasn't had any major problems, which in itself shows that his character and conduct are quite solid.

In addition, Su Chao and Galaxy Image have been exchanging glances, so he could also bring over Galaxy Image's personnel to use.

Anyway, these people usually just wait there to start work.

If we don't work, we won't get paid.

It would be better to spend time with Uncle Su Chao.

If you calculate it that way, Milkyway Image also has half of Su Chao's buttocks.

Finally, Milkyway Image currently relies on Shaw Brothers, and Andy Lau and Golden Harvest are very close, which makes it easier for Milkyway Pictures to establish itself in Hong Kong.

Su Chao also had plans for the next day.

The people on the princess's side knew that Su Chao had come to Hong Kong, so they quickly contacted Lü Bu and invited him over to discuss the concert.

While Su Chao went to the karaoke bar, Lü Bu went to run errands.

After he returned, he told Su Chao that the princess hoped Su Chao could participate in the concert rehearsals.

Su Chao had no objections.

So he showed up at the rehearsal the next day, which was the first time the two-hour-long rumored couple had met since then.

"Wow, you seem to have gotten even more handsome in just a few days."

The princess was completely unaffected by the scandal.

She even reached out and touched Su Chao's stomach.

"Thank you~"

Su Chao was speechless. Are all young married women this hot?

Do you know that if you attack a martial artist in the abdomen, he might very well kick you away?

Wow, you really have abs!

The princess was quite surprised because the muscles she touched were very firm and had very obvious bumps and hollows.

I exercise occasionally.

Actually, it's not just occasionally; I go every day without fail.

Su Chao has moved his gym several times.

This left behind numerous legends of gorillas roaming the land. However, Su Chao wasn't a fitness enthusiast.

Therefore, the muscle definition is not as exaggerated as that of bodybuilders.

However, it's certain that the princess felt it was hard.

"If you want to make a splash, you can try going on stage shirtless."

Would the princess care about the rumors with Su Chao?

I really don't care at all.

She has always been a very individualistic person, and after becoming famous, she has taken her individuality to the extreme.

And the fans really appreciated it.

She won't distance herself from her because she interfered in other people's relationships.

Spreading some rumors naturally doesn't have a negative impact.

What's more, the person she's rumored to be dating is a young, handsome man who is also a musical talent.

This kind of older woman/younger man romance storyline has a better market than Dou Wei's rock youth.

"Singing 'Chess Pieces' shirtless?"

Su Chao's expression was strange. What kind of quirk was this?

I'm like a chess piece, my moves are entirely up to you...

I'm like a little wolfhound; whether I wear it or not is up to you, right?

"Haha~"

The princess had clearly imagined that scene as well, and couldn't stop laughing.

"Didn't Brother Dou come?"

Su Chao thought Dou Wei would also be a guest.

"No, you are the only guest at the Hong Kong Coliseum. I usually don't invite guests when I sing."

The princess still had a sweet look on her face when she talked about Dou Wei.

"Hiss~ That's such an honor."

Su Chao pretended to be flattered, but in reality, he was calm and composed.

I really want to sing with Dou Wei.

Dou Wei before he went bald.

Danny Chan and Dou Wei both belong to the type of elegant young men.

The two chatted for a while and then began rehearsing.

"Your singing has improved a lot!"

The princess was also somewhat surprised; she had bought Su Chao's album.

Su Chao's songs on his album aren't bad, but they're definitely better than average; after all, the sound engineer's salary isn't for nothing.

Moreover, she had heard the music demo that Su Chao had given her.

For example, "The Promise" is sung by Su Chao, which best showcases Su Chao's singing ability.

However, in just a few days, Su Chao's singing skills improved significantly.

To give an example, if Su Chao's singing skills during "The Promise" were 100 points, then he now has at least 120 points.

When Su Chao sang his song "Goodbye," the princess raised the score even higher.

Su Chao has sung this song many times, and his singing skills are already worthy of a score of 150.

"I talked with Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, and Emil Chau and learned some techniques."

Su Chao did not lie.

"It seems quite a few people came to Hong Kong this time to buy your songs. Did they all come to you to buy your songs?"

The princess was quite surprised.

Su Chao is a newcomer to the entertainment industry. Not long ago, he was just a small-time bar singer who could write songs. How did he suddenly start associating with so many big names?

"They bought one or two songs from each, but Wakin Chau took the song 'Hard to Recite Sutra'."

Su Chao has had a very fruitful time.

He's getting closer and closer to his ultimate dream of becoming the biggest secondhand dealer in the music industry.

Sooner or later, these superstars will be lining up to buy my songs.

"Heh~ I thought I was different!"

The princess glared at Su Chao reproachfully; a young woman's flirtation often happens unintentionally.

"In my heart, Sister Fei will always be my top priority. You are my favorite singer!"

Su Chao is lying through his teeth.

He was a little worried. What if these superstars got together and someone suddenly mentioned his favorite singer? When they checked their lists, they would find that all of them were his favorite singers.

There will be some awkwardness at that time.

Fortunately, the princess did not investigate further.

The two continued rehearsing, mainly the princess rehearsing, while Su Chao watched from the sidelines, learning some stage experience.

Su Chao mainly rehearsed "Chess Piece" and "Goodbye".

There's not much else to rehearse.

They didn't even discuss how the two would interact on stage.

On the 12th, the Princess Concert officially began.

Su Chao was arranged to change into a very flashy outfit and wait backstage to go on stage.

"Is this outfit a bit inappropriate?"

It does show off your figure, but it's way too tight, it's a bit constricting around the crotch.

"So cool!"

The stylist applied some more gel to Su Chao's hair, and he seemed to slurp his saliva as he spoke.

The Queen's Little Wolf Dog, Run!
