Huayu 1995

Chapter 257 Teaching her how to pee standing up (Seeking double monthly votes)
The same venue in the afternoon.

The only difference is that Kelly Chen became the actress in the film.

Princess Lin volunteered to make a cameo appearance. She had acquired many songs from Su Chao and knew that Su Chao was a promising talent. Among all the female singers in Hong Kong, she and the Princess were the only ones who had connected with Su Chao.

This is an opportunity that others would beg for but never get.

Given Su Chao's reputation for liking rich women, she even suspected that Su Chao might have feelings for her.

She even wondered if her family would break her up with Su Chao if they had an affair.

She only gave up the idea after seeing Lin Zhimeng on the day filming started.

Others may not know Lin Zhimeng, but she has actually met Lin Zhimeng and her uncle.

The so-called high society is full of banquets all day long.

On one occasion, Mr. Lin, who was in the musical instrument business, brought a young female companion who was said to be extremely beautiful. Kelly Chen also went to see her out of curiosity.

She was indeed very beautiful, and it left a very deep impression on her.

I later learned that she was Mr. Lin's niece.

Everyone knows that Mr. Lin has no children, so his niece is naturally the heir to his wealth.

Unfortunately, this niece didn't like to be in the public eye, and Kelly Chen only met her once.

To her utter surprise, she ran into her as a producer on the film set. Before she could even catch up with her, Su Chao introduced her to the media as his girlfriend.

Kelly Chen thought about it and decided to pretend she didn't know him.

Although she didn't doubt that Su Chao had feelings for her, Kelly Chen was certain that the Hong Kong media had guessed correctly.

Su Chao just likes rich women.

Mr. Lin's assets may not be as great as theirs, but the Chen family is a family business with several branches holding shares. Moreover, Kelly Chen is not an only child, so the amount of property she can inherit is limited. In the end, they are completely incomparable to Ms. Lin.

Now that Su Chao has a rich woman, she naturally has no other ideas.

We can only rely on personal relationships now.

I heard that Jacky Cheung made a cameo appearance in a movie that Su Chao wrote and starred in, and she also volunteered to take on a role.

She didn't hesitate when asked to play a transvestite.

She never had a cigar.

Only after joining the crew did she realize that she wasn't playing a real transvestite.

Because she has...

Su Chao first drank with her.

There was a pile of beer bottles in front of the two of them, all from the late-night snack they had the night before.

"Cut! Kelly, why don't you have a drink? Your acting..."

Kelly Chen's acting skills... are hard to describe. She couldn't even portray such a simple act of being drunk properly, so Benny Chan had to call "cut".

"Sorry, I... I can't hold my liquor very well, I'll only have a tiny bit~"

Kelly Chen looked a little embarrassed.

She was a newcomer, and although she had acted in one drama, her acting skills remained a weakness.

After all, she wasn't formally trained in acting.

I haven't attended any training courses.

"You can be a little bit extravagant, that's fine."

Su Chao offered his suggestions.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Kelly Chen nodded, saying that Su Chao's acting was much better than hers.

"He Bing~"

Su Chao called out to his men.

"Hey~"

He Bing was chatting with Zhao Xiaoding from the photography team.

Zhao Xiaoding found someone who spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin very well to learn Cantonese, and He Bing followed suit. His Cantonese lines were taught by this person.

A master of dialogue like him would certainly not trust his lines to voice actors.

"Please help her, give her some guidance on how to play this role."

Does Su Chao need to give Kelly Chen acting instructions?

There's absolutely no need for that. He has experts by his side. He Bing is a dialogue teacher in the training class, but dialogue is not a separate course. It should be called dialogue performance.

He is a performance teacher.

"Okay~" He Bing had just seen Kelly Chen's performance.

For example, among the trainees in the training course, Kelly Chen is not the worst, so she is not particularly difficult to teach.

It's just a matter of whether people will buy it or not.

But the principal only asked him to teach, without saying he had to teach them. If someone didn't want to learn after he taught them, there was nothing he could do.

In any case, Zhuge Ke completed the task assigned by his lord.

A moment later, Kelly Chen indeed showed a very good change. To say she had undergone a complete transformation would be an exaggeration, but at least Benny Chan was satisfied.

After filming the drinking scene, Su Chao went to the restroom.

Of course, the men's restroom.

Su Chao, drunk, stared at the urinal.

"Don't you need to take your pants off?"

Chen Musheng shouted.

This is a question, not a statement or an exclamation, so it's not the director giving orders.

"Brother, you're not going to get any pictures, why are you taking your pants off..."

Su Chao knew he was joking.

The scene this morning was mainly for emotional effect, while the scene this afternoon was mainly for comedy.

When the male protagonist relieved himself in the urinal, he looked to the side in a daze, as if he were drunk.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

He noticed a girl doing the same thing, facing the urinal...

It seems to be the girl he went on a blind date with!
His gaze involuntarily shifted downwards, and then he froze, his face filled with terror...

“Let’s do it again. This expression isn’t exaggerated enough. Didn’t you say this morning that Kelly is much older than you?”

Chen Musheng chuckled and said something strange.

"Director, you're going a bit too far. I'm a girl, after all..."

Kelly Chen was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, He Bing taught her how to urinate standing up.

“What does this have to do with me?” Benny Chan shrugged. “I’m just a director. The script is written by the screenwriter. Go find the screenwriter and ask him what kind of twisted psychology drove him to write this plot.”

"Sigh! Okay, let's do it one more time!"

Su Chao sighed.

Although NGs are common, the filming process actually went quite smoothly.

Often, we can film enough scenes in a single day to cover two or three days' worth of scenes on the schedule.

The main reason is that the filming progress in Hong Kong is very fast, and everyone is used to working more than ten hours a day.

Of course, it's not possible to shoot for that long every day.

If it suddenly rains and there's no plan to continue the indoor scenes, or for some other reason, a lot of time will be free.

Su Chao is a stubborn person, so he decided to go to the recording studio to record a song.

Chan Kin-tim was originally in the Hong Kong music scene, so finding a top-notch recording studio was a piece of cake for him.

The team is a mix of mainland Chinese and Hong Kong members.

This time, Zhang Yadong and Xiao Ke are co-producers.

Xiao Ke's appearance is average, and his voice is not as distinctive as Su Chao's. His first album lost a lot of money, which dampened his confidence in his singing career.

At Su Chao's suggestion, let him try the path of a producer.

Producers can actually earn quite a bit of money.

They just don't become famous as easily as singers.

Su Chao invited him to be a producer and work with Zhang Yadong.

Zhang Yadong currently has a contractual relationship with Red Star, but the contract is not very binding, so he spends most of his time taking on jobs outside.

She is currently vying to become the princess's producer.

But Xiao Ke is different.

His contract with Red Star was closer, and even the songs he wrote had to be distributed through Red Star.

Su Chao would definitely prefer to support him.

The first song recorded was "Friends," with lyrics, music, arrangement, and instrumentation all handled by Su Chao. The two producers didn't actually have much workload.

"This song is good enough to be the title track."

Xiao Ke was completely convinced by Su Chao.

A few months ago, he and Su Chao were both newcomers at the Red Star Production Company, and there was no difference in their status.

They've both released their first albums now.

Su Chao sold 500,000 cassette tapes and CDs, while he didn't even sell 20,000.

Moreover, Su Chao has become a creative genius.

"It's enough to be the lead single for a Heavenly King!"

Zhang Yadong echoed this sentiment.

"His singing skills have improved a lot compared to his first album."

Xiao Ke couldn't muster any jealousy.

"He was very talented, and he found a good teacher."

Zhang Yadong summarized two key experiences.

"To learn vocal music, I dated my vocal teacher, haha~"

This meme is very popular at Red Star Production Company now.

Lin Zhimeng is the goddess of the Red Star Production Company.

When Xiao Ke first joined the company, he also received instruction from Lin Zhimeng, but it was only a short ten lessons, which was considered a systematic help for Xiao Ke to build his own vocal system.

Who wouldn't be focused when learning from a teacher like that?

Unfortunately, Teacher Lin didn't even give him a smile.

No matter how proud a person is, they can't muster the courage to confess their feelings, and thus they become the white moonlight in many people's hearts.

If no one can reach it, then so be it.

The shared white moonlight.

The key issue is that Su Chao announced that Teacher Lin had become his girlfriend in just a few months.

And surprisingly, Teacher Lin did not deny it.

Many people at the Red Star Production Cooperative felt a pang of jealousy.

"What does this mean? It means that Teacher Lin was holding back his secrets from you, and that what he taught Su Chao was the real skill."

Even Zhang Yadong, who rarely jokes, started cracking jokes.

There's no way around it, being a producer is just too easy.

"Who can blame us when our Chaozai is such a talented songwriter? I heard that Princess's new album is selling incredibly well, with over 200,000 copies sold in the first week alone. That's a real million-selling album." Xiao Ke also understands songwriting, so he knows the value of these songs better than most people.

"It's a pity that Su Chao didn't get any royalties from Princess's album."

Zhang Yadong is very close to the princess, so he knows more about her than most people.

Su Chao's price only increased after he released his first album.

"Royals... I don't get royalties for my song 'Return Home' either."

Xiao Ke felt heartbroken.

Su Chao's debut album is mostly composed of songs he wrote himself, but a few are by other artists.

For example, "Chess Piece", "Free Like the Wind", and Xiao Ke's "Return".

This song is quite popular in Su Chao's new album.

"Look at it from another angle, you are one of the few people who can sell songs to Su Chao, and such opportunities will become fewer and fewer in the future."

When Zhang Yadong received the tracks from Su Chao's new album, he was completely stunned.

In order to reduce the number of songs to twelve, we even had to remove several good songs.

Those that are removed can be used as the main tracks for other singers.

"Damn, now that you say that, I suddenly feel like I can do it!"

Xiao Ke instantly perked up.

Meanwhile, at Tamkang High School in Taiwan, a young man had been listless for several days.

"Jayson, I couldn't find you anywhere! Turns out you were playing the piano here!"

A student pushed open the door to the music room and shouted loudly.

The already intermittent piano music finally went silent.

Jay Chou sighed, his shoulders slumped, "This composition is truly perfect."

"What song is it? Is it the princess's new song? Was it composed by Su Chao?"

The classmate has gotten used to his friend's recent obsession.

At the end of September, Su Chao's new album "The Moon Caused the Trouble" was released, featuring many great songs and attracting a large number of young fans.

Jay Chou was initially dismissive of the claim that the mainland singer, Su Chao, was only eighteen years old but claimed to have written most of the songs on his album himself.

So he didn't buy the album right away.

Unfortunately, he was studying music.

There are always people in the class who bought the album.

Some people listen to a good song repeatedly until they get tired of it, while others prefer to share it with others.

At that time, some people were already playing music outside of class.

After listening to the song "Goodbye," Jay Chou obediently went and bought the album.

In the past two months, he has listened to Su Chao's album the most, and he can now play most of the songs on the piano.

A few days ago, Princess released a new album, which includes eight songs with lyrics by Lin Xi and two songs with lyrics by Su Chao.

This is a masterpiece that no music lover should miss.

Of course, Jay Chou is more interested in composing.

After listening to them, I realized that Su Chao's two songs not only had lyrics that were far superior to Lin Xi's, but the melodies were also better than those of others.

This "other people" includes Chen Xiaoxia, the composer of "Whose Tears Are Flying," Liu Yida, a member of the music group "Tat Ming Pair," and others.

None of them were unknown figures.

Jay Chou has become more acutely aware of the gap between himself and Su Chao.

In the past few days, he has adapted the two songs that Su Chao wrote for the princess into piano pieces, always thinking of creating a piece of equal quality.

The result can be imagined.

Nima was starting to question the meaning of life.

They live entirely in Su Chao's shadow.

"I heard that girl from the next class invited you to a movie. Haven't you liked her for a long time?"

His friend was also helpless and could only try to distract him.

"Watching movies... she didn't just watch movies with me. The person who paid for her had a family emergency and took time off work, otherwise how could it have been my turn!"

If this hadn't been brought up, Jay Chou wouldn't be this upset.

He liked a girl, really liked her, it was almost a crush.

However, after getting to know them, he discovered that they were completely different from what he had imagined; they were practically two different people.

It's like he originally had a white moonlight, but that white moonlight is dead, and the two people now are completely unrelated.

"What kind of girl does Su Chao have?"

His friend sat down next to him and casually strummed a couple of keys.

"She must be really good, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to write so many great songs... He's willing to fight to the very end for her, she must be a good girl."

Jay Chou smacked his lips, looking incredibly envious.

“Jie Lun, you should find a good one too. When you get inspiration, you should write songs. You’re a year and a half younger than that Su Chao. Maybe when you’re his age, you’ll be able to write your own album.”

His friends encouraged him to cheer up.

Don't spend all your time analyzing other people's work; everyone has a different style, and there's no point in getting bogged down in that.

"Fine, I'll find a woman and give it a try."

Jay Chou sighed.

"Oh, by the way, did you buy Zhang Yu's new album?"

My friend suddenly remembered something.

"Zhang Yu, his songs are written by his wife, right?"

Jay Chou certainly knows Phil Chang.

After all, Zhang Yu is not only a singer, but also quite good at composing.

"With Good Intentions" was composed by Zhang Yu himself.

"No, Zhang Yu sang a song called 'Caged Bird' written by Su Chao. I also heard that Zhang Yu bought the copyright to 'The Moon Caused the Trouble'. However, Su Chao has a rule that you have to wait half a year after he releases a song before you can cover it. So Zhang Yu's new album's main track is this song, 'Caged Bird'."

My friend came back after gathering information.

Did you buy this album?

Jay Chou perked up immediately when he heard that Su Chao had written a song.

"I didn't buy it. I've already spent all my allowance this week."

My friend was a little embarrassed.

"Fine, I'll lend you some!"

Jay Chou paid 500 NT dollars.

He wasn't actually that rich; he earned his living by playing the piano in restaurants.

"Thank you, I'll go buy the album and let you listen to it first."

My friends weren't shy either.

His family is quite well-off, but he spends money rather extravagantly. He'll definitely receive a large sum of lucky money during the Chinese New Year.

"Buy one for me too, I'll pay you."

Jay Chou didn't hesitate much.

After buying it, he would analyze Su Chao's composition process, and he always gained valuable insights from doing so.

There was a music store right outside the school gate, so I bought the album very quickly.

"I'm like a shadow you can do without / Coldly watching you lie / This chaotic city / Can't tolerate my infatuation / What makes you so obsessed with this unbridled behavior..."

Jay Chou listened intently, resting his chin on his hand.

Without a doubt, this is another great song.

There are so many good songs.

It could even be said that none of Su Chao's songs, whether they are his own or those he writes for others, seem to be particularly bad.

What's this person's mental state all day long?

"Hey classmate, what song is this?"

A girl's head peeked out from the music room door and asked curiously.

These days, it's perfectly normal to inquire about a good song you come across, unlike in later generations where there's such a thing as identifying the sound and the melody.

"Zhang Yu's 'Caged Bird'," Jay Chou's friend shouted in response, adding, "Lyrics and music by Su Chao!"

"Are you also fans of Su Chao?"

The female fan outside the door immediately perked up.

"We're... alright, I guess." The friend wasn't sure whether to admit it or not.

Anyway, he felt that Jay Chou's feelings for Su Chao were very complicated, with some admiration and some resentment.

However, I usually buy any album that has songs composed by Su Chao.

"Of course, it's the fans. Su Chao is more amazing than all these so-called great creators these days, and he's only eighteen..."

Although he had privately questioned Su Chao with his friends, Jay Chou did not hold back his praise at this moment.

“I heard he’s started recording his second album, which is full of great songs. It was recorded in Hong Kong, and the media has found the musicians who participated in the recording.”

Although they didn't know each other, the three quickly formed a revolutionary friendship because they were all fans of Su Chao.

When will it be sent?

Jay Chou immediately inquired, determined to buy it as soon as possible this time.

"I don't know, he seems to be filming a movie in Hong Kong."

The female fan shook her head.

"Why does he act in movies instead of writing and singing songs properly?!"

Jay Chou looked annoyed.

He felt that Su Chao was wasting such great talent.

If he had focused solely on creating music, he would have become the greatest songwriter in the entire Chinese music scene.

"Yeah! It would be great if they released a couple more albums. I'm listening to Su Chao's albums now, but I don't really want to listen to anyone else's."

The female fan strongly agreed with Jay Chou's words.

Once you've eaten fine bran, it's hard to accept the kind of coarse grains that only have one or two good songs on an album.

Even the good songs aren't good enough.

"We are the same now. This month we only bought albums that Su Chao participated in creating."

Jay Chou's friends also nodded in agreement.

"I bought the Princess's song. You're listening to Zhang Yu's song now, right? Are there any other songs by him?"

The female fan thought this was a good way to buy it.

Many people approve of Su Chao.

They not only appreciate his albums, but also his creative work.

"Gone!"

Jay Chou's friend shook his head.

"It's all because of making movies. Why would a perfectly good singer-songwriter like him have to go and make movies? It's simply not doing his job properly!"

Jay Chou admitted that he is a fan of Su Chao, but that does not stop him from disliking Su Chao.
