Huayu 1995

Chapter 249 Everyone Says I'm a Rich Woman (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets)
Su Chao revised the script for "My Sassy Girl," incorporating many postmodern references.

Scumbag men and scumbag women are one example.

The word "渣渣" originally came from a local dialect, but later became a popular internet slang term.

Only by leading the trend can something last.

"Currently, next match!"

Chen Musheng yawned and drank his second cup of coffee of the day.

"Director, are you really that sleepy?"

Su Chao was speechless. He asked the others if it was okay to film all night.

Everyone agreed.

The director said it was okay, but yawning like that just didn't look right.

"It's alright. If you really can't take it anymore, can you watch over it for me for a while?"

Chen Musheng sized up Su Chao.

Despite Su Chao's constant pursuit of women, he actually learns a lot from directors in addition to acting.

Learning to be a director is not just talk.

Chen Musheng did not keep anything to himself.

However, any theory needs the support of practice in order to be fully understood and applied.

Chen Musheng intended to give Su Chao more practice.

That way he can get some sleep too.

"I can't do it, I..."

Su Chao was unsure of himself. He had indeed learned a lot, but he was still far from being able to work independently.

Moreover, the monitors of that era were very old and lacked the convenience of large, high-resolution screens in later times. Directors on set relied more on experience and intuition.

"Heh, your girlfriend isn't here. What's wrong with you? You're addicted to playing the victim!"

Chen Musheng made a sarcastic remark to Su Chao.

Despite having the ability to shoulder more responsibility, he indulged in personal feelings for his children.

"What do you mean by pretending to be weak?!"

Su Chao was speechless. "You people with families, can you understand my loneliness and solitude at night?"
"Sister~"

Chen Musheng gave an affected shout.

That's outrageous!

Su Chao is already considering changing directors.

"Isn't it normal to want to be with women when you get older?"

Francis Ng tried to smooth things over.

"You can't even think about it! Thinking about it is a sin!"

Wang Zuxian is memorizing her lines.

The classic line she said to the waiter in "Ashes of Time".

Even thinking about it is a sin.

It's definitely not appropriate to make these kinds of jokes when a movie has just started filming.

However, filming has been going on for more than half a month, and everyone is quite familiar with each other and understands Su Chao's temperament. A joke won't hurt.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. But director, don't fall asleep. If something goes wrong, we'll have to reshoot tomorrow."

Wasting film is a bad thing.

Su Chao is a master of saving film when shooting commercials and music videos. He makes the most of rented equipment and tries to save even the smallest inch of film he buys.

"Okay, I'll just sit here and watch. You guys begin."

Chen Musheng yawned again.

That girl last night was really something, riding him back and forth like crazy, she almost drained him dry.

Su Chao is an arrogant brat who doesn't know his own limitations.

He had to be obsessed with women.

If he goes back to partying every night, he'll eventually be drained dry by women.

"Come on, let's get ready for the next round. This is my first time, so please cooperate!"

Su Chao clapped his hands.

It's like a traitor who has just successfully usurped the throne.

"Hello, Director Su~"

How could they not cooperate? On set, whether it was the directing team, the camera crew, or any other position, everyone was basically familiar with Su Chao.

Naturally, he also learned about his status in the film crew.

"I always thought that it was normal for the principal to be humble and subservient in front of Teacher Lin, but I didn't know that he could be so domineering at times."

The fake Taoist priest sighed.

"There's no need to humble yourself or act subservient."

The monk spoke a fair word: they were clearly just a young couple flirting.

Moreover, it was basically Su Chao who took advantage of the female benefactors.

The female benefactor was indifferent to everyone else, but she showed a bit of humanity only when dealing with Su Chao, and her treatment of him was noticeably different from that of the others.

How can you say that Su Chao is subservient and humble?

"You're just a monk, what do you know?"

A fake Taoist priest complains.

"Yes, yes, you know better than me. You went to get your feet washed by yourself behind my back~"

The monk put his hands together and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"What are you two doing washing your feet? Go do your gay stuff!"

Lu Bu also yawned.

Lin Zhimeng originally planned to stay and work with the crew tonight because they were filming a long night scene.

The work on a film set is very complicated and chaotic, and the producer is of paramount importance, often needing to deal with emergencies.

Su Chao felt sorry for his wife and persuaded her to go back to the hotel to rest.

Then, he left his three brothers to watch over the film set.

Beast~
Next, Su Chao took on the role of director, directing scene after scene.

They filmed almost all night long; three days' worth of filming was completed in one night.

After filming all night, the next day became a rest period.

Su Chao did not sleep.

He needed to rush to an event—the release of Princess's new album.

The reason for inviting him is, of course, because he was in charge of the album's title track.

"The Promise" and "Red Bean." He wrote both of the main tracks.

Originally, the Princess's album was supposed to have lyrics written by Lin Xi, and then music composed and arranged by someone else.

This time, Lin Xi did indeed put in a lot of work, and the album includes eight songs he wrote.

However, Lin Xi has already taken action.

Eight!

This still doesn't change the fact that Su Chao's songs are the main focus.

Princess Consort extended a formal invitation to Su Chao to attend the press conference.

Such activities can be done as a friendly exchange, meaning freebies, or as a paid promotion, meaning legitimate prostitution.

Su Chao definitely won't take the money.

Buying songs is a monetary transaction; money is exchanged for goods.

Such support is a matter of goodwill.

Since we're talking about feelings, money will naturally come into play.

Moreover, Lin Xi will also participate.

Su Chao is already looking forward to Lin Xi's performance in December.

Why should I go?

Lin Zhimeng was also sitting in the car. This car was not rented; it was delivered by the driver a few days ago by Uncle Lin.

A Bentley sedan.

Uncle Lin's wealth is truly astonishing; he owns a villa on the hillside and luxury cars worth millions.

“You went to bed very early last night and didn’t get up until 10 a.m. You must not be sleepy after sleeping for so long. It would be so boring to stay in the hotel alone without sleeping.”

Su Chao went to bed around 6 a.m. and woke up at 9 a.m.

I only slept for three hours in total.

Lin Zhimeng slept for twelve hours.

Even pigs can't sleep that much.

“These are two different things. Even if I’m not sleepy, I can read or play the piano. Why should I attend a press conference with you? I don’t like being in the public eye.”

Lin Zhimeng discovered that she couldn't reason with Su Chao at all.

This person is really unreasonable.

"Do you know whose press conference is today?" Su Chao asked.

Lin Zhimeng nodded and said, "I know, it's the Princess's new album launch. I'm not interested in her."

Lin Zhimeng also listens to pop songs, but she prefers instrumental music more.

They are graduates of a proper music department.

"Do you know that she and I had a rumored relationship? She's a superstar. When I had a rumored relationship with her, people said I was dating a rich woman and that I sold albums by having a rumored relationship with a princess... You... you have no idea how wronged I felt."

Su Chao's voice was almost choked with emotion.

The monk driving the car gripped the steering wheel tightly, silently muttering:

Those who speak without compassion, slander and defame, and cause chaos with their harsh words, will be reborn in the hell of having their tongues pulled out and being plowed by molten copper upon death...

He was Su Chao's driver.

I have no choice but to be a third wheel here.

Today, many students from training courses came from the mainland.

Lu Bu took them in a minibus to the press conference to see the princess.

Actually, they mainly came to Hong Kong to make cameo appearances in movies.

Once the main characters' solo scenes are mostly filmed, it will be time to film scenes with more supporting roles and extras.

"Haha, Hong Kong media really have a good eye for people!"

Lin Zhimeng was not fooled.

Many times, she knew that Su Chao was deliberately playing the victim in front of her, but she was just too lazy to argue with this kid.

"Sis, why are you saying this to me too? I'm working so hard, all for our future!"

Su Chao held Lin Zhimeng's hand.

"Who's talking about your future? You're overthinking it. Let go, or I'll bite you!"

Lin Zhimeng tried to break free several times but failed.

"Are you going to hit me, like a savage girlfriend in the movies?"

Su Chao isn't afraid of her biting anyone.

It's practically a reward.

"Don't date that kind of girlfriend in the future, she's like a queen. You should find someone who cares about you and is considerate."

Lin Zhimeng thought about it and felt that the movie did not conform to her values.

If you love him, hit him.

What if we changed the gender of this sentence?

"Do you, Mengmeng, know when I'm cold or hot?"

Su Chao chuckled.

"I'm very savage..."

Lin Zhimeng punched Su Chao in the chest, but Su Chao grabbed her hand and kissed her.

The soft, warm touch stunned Lin Zhimeng.

Well, after holding hands and hugging, they're finally starting to talk.

"Whether you're considerate or wild, I won't mind~"

Su Chao did not push his luck any further.

While Lin Zhimeng was in a daze, it wasn't impossible for him to go up and kiss her, but that would be too lewd.

And it was a bit too hasty.

It wouldn't be good if things turned sour.

The kiss on her hand was a gesture of affection from Su Chao, who realized that Lin Zhimeng wasn't indifferent to him.

Moreover, she physically assaulted someone.

If she isn't punished, she won't know who's in charge of this family.

Su Chao made no further move, and Lin Zhimeng was unable to vent her pent-up anger.

I can only sulk myself.

However, once she arrived at the scene, she stopped being angry.

No matter how much you throw a tantrum in private, you can't show it on your face in public.
