Huayu 1995

Chapter 298 Talking about feelings hurts money (Seeking monthly votes)
"Miss Mei!"

Su Chao shook hands with the other person.

"I Will Love You a Thousand Times in My Life" and "Woman Flower"—I bought these two songs for 90,000 yuan.

In addition, there is a 200-point intermediate singing skill experience point, which requires 120,000.

Su Chao didn't hesitate much and handed it over.

Now that the song is going up in price, if you buy it for 90,000 yuan and resell it for 400,000 yuan, you can make a profit of 300,000 yuan. You can definitely buy some intermediate experience points without hesitation.

"He's so young and handsome!"

Anita Mui seemed a little dazed; she had just broken up with her boyfriend, Zhao Wenzhuo, last year.

The reason for the breakup was quite ridiculous.

It wasn't due to the money dispute that outsiders speculated, but rather a "joke" from a friend in the industry—the nickname "Zhuozhuo" became a sharp weapon that tore apart their relationship.

In the Southern dialect, "卓卓" is an affectionate reduplicated word, similar to "咪咪" or "黄黄".

However, Zhao Wenzhuo, being a man from Northeast China, could not accept this kind of derogatory term that implied "pet-ification".

Even more damaging was that some friends associated his nickname with "little wolf dog," implying that Zhao Wenzhuo depended on Anita Mui for survival, which directly touched the bottom line of his self-esteem.

He simply couldn't take it anymore and broke up with Anita Mui.

If it were Su Chao, he wouldn't have this kind of burden.

He's currently in debt and not paying it back. He's still living in someone's house and making unwanted advances towards them, making them blush with embarrassment.

I don't feel ashamed at all.

For many, a thick skin is a stumbling block on the road to success.

Su Chao has no stumbling blocks.

"Sister Anita Mui, you are absolutely stunning! You are unforgettable!"

Anyone can give praise.

Anyway, it's free, and Su Chao brought his girlfriend today, so there's no need to worry about her being targeted.

"Let me be frank, Andy Lau told me that your songs are really good. Do you have any that would be suitable for me?"

Anita Mui made a helpless discovery.

Su Chao wasn't the kind of man who would lose his bearings just from a few compliments.

In fact, it's hard to say who flirted with whom.

If... it wasn't Zhao Wenzhuo who was with her back then, but Su Chao, who was much younger but more mature, would the outcome have been different?

If you can't handle it, why even start a relationship?

The gap between them was even greater when they first started dating.

"There are actually two, but..."

Su Chao was originally there to sell songs; otherwise, there would have been no need for him to attend this gathering today.

Others may need to cultivate personal networks.

Su Chao doesn't need it!
In fact, whether in mainland China or Hong Kong, Su Chao doesn't need to cultivate connections at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

Wang Zuxian begged him to act in the film for free.

Francis Ng used the lead role in "Phone Booth" to change his image, and also starred in "My Sassy Girl" for free.

Andy Lau is going to give him a free cameo appearance.

Jacky Cheung is going to make a cameo appearance for him for free.

Princess Lin stood up to urinate for him.

The princess also wanted to make a cameo appearance, but he refused.

In this era where actors often transition to singing, and singers often transition to acting, most celebrities in the entertainment industry have to rely on Su Chao for their livelihood.

What's more, he can even write his own scripts.

"If it's really a good fit, money is no object. I'll pay a high price!"

Su Chao is now famous, and almost all of his songs are masterpieces, so Anita Mui is naturally willing to spend money on him.

"I originally intended to give it to someone else, but meeting Sister Mei tonight is also a kind of fate."

Those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away; those not destined will at least save on electricity bills.

Forget about money, we're talking about fate, a fate worth 20.

The difference between “元” and “元” is not small.

"Haha~ First come, first served. Chaozai, you have to support me this time. Everyone's saying my era is over."

Anita Mui covered her mouth and laughed.

I haven't been this happy in a long time.

Real women should focus on their careers, not play around with men, honestly.

She has done a very good job in her career.

Hong Kong has four Heavenly Kings, but no four Heavenly Queens, mainly because the peak of female singers' careers comes and goes, unlike the stable periods of the four male singers.

For example, from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, the four most popular female singers, Anita Mui, Sally Yeh, Sandy Lam, and Priscilla Chan, had quite different levels of popularity.

Anita Mui held an extraordinary position in the 1980s, becoming the most popular female singer for five consecutive years. She received the Golden Needle Award, the highest honor in the Hong Kong music scene, and also won the Best Actress awards at both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards.

She has surpassed the others in these "Big Four".

Second is Sally Yeh, who won the Most Popular Female Singer award for four consecutive years and also received the Golden Needle Award. She reached her peak after 88.

Sandy Lam is considered a veteran singer, having won the Best Female Singer award at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards twice.

Although Priscilla Chan is a figure of nostalgia for many, she is far less accomplished than these three in terms of major individual awards.

Furthermore, he retired from the entertainment industry at the peak of his career and never challenged Anita Mui's status as the top female star.

After that, it was the princess's world.

No one can stand on equal footing with the princess now, so naturally, it's impossible to gather all four queens.

Anita Mui has no shortage of new heights; her main goal now is to bring her singing career to a close.

"Sister Mei, please wait a moment while I make a phone call."

Su Chao took out his phone and made a call to the monk who was outside.

The monk soon came in carrying a briefcase.

Bald head, suit, briefcase, cold and ruthless.

Old Tian's attire is anything but professional.

After he came in, he looked around, then walked up to Su Chao, handed the suitcase to Su Chao, and then stood quietly to the side.

She only came to her senses when Su Chao opened his suitcase and took out his Walkman and two cassette tapes.

Damn, I thought it was some kind of illegal transaction.

Aren't we afraid a bunch of police officers will storm in if we do this?

Anita Mui started listening to the first record.

"Woman Flower"!
Love has deepened the feeling of affection / Drunkenness has revealed the strength of wine / Flowers bloom and fade, ultimately all is vanity / Fate is fleeting / Like the spring breeze, it comes and goes / Women are like flowers, flowers are like dreams...

Anita Mui initially listened to the songs with a smile. However, as she listened, she felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yes, love makes you understand the depth of feeling, and drunkenness makes you understand the strength of wine.

This time with Zhao Wenzhuo, she really wanted to settle down.

She helped him integrate into her social circle.

Introduce him to resources and connections.

Anita Mui's family of origin was very bad; her relatives didn't act like relatives at all.

She was waiting for her boyfriend to propose to her so they could build a warm and loving family together.

Unexpectedly, the blooming and withering of flowers are all in vain, and fate does not linger; in the end, it was all just an empty dream.

After listening to the song, she realized she was outside. She quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and looked up awkwardly.

But they discovered that Su Chao and the bald man had already gone somewhere else.

She was the only one there, listening to "Woman Flower" and savoring the sadness of losing her love.

She was somewhat grateful to Su Chao.

She certainly doesn't want anyone to see her in this state of disarray.

She took out a handkerchief, wiped her eyes and nose, and started listening to the second song.

I will love you a thousand times over!
Youth fades like a dream, time flies by and never returns / I gave my all without reservation / Heaven knows when, where, or why we'll break up / As long as I can love, I'll love to the fullest...

The last song I heard made my heart ache.

But this song suddenly changed its style completely.

"Flying over thousands of mountains and rivers" and "facing each other day and night" directly depict a passionate and persistent view of love.

He repeatedly emphasized "giving completely without reservation" and "loving you a thousand times over in my life".

It reinforces the core theme of selfless dedication to love, while also incorporating reflections on the fleeting nature of youth and the courage to uphold one's emotions.

"Chao Zai, I've finished listening!"

Anita Mui walked over to Su Chao and returned the Walkman to him.

"No need to be polite with him, let's drive his car away tonight..."

Su Chao was talking to the monk when he heard this, so he turned around and took the Walkman.

Andy Lau wants to lend his car to Su Chao.

Su Chao intended to "reluctantly" accept his kindness.

After all, besides the song for Anita Mui, he also prepared two songs for Andy Lau.

"I'm planning to buy them all. What's the price now?"

Anita Mui's decision not to return the sample tape to Su Chao already demonstrated her stance.

No matter the price, she's going to buy it.

"Two hundred thousand for each song, plus 3% royalties, and those two songs will belong to Anita Mui."

Su Chao did not give Anita Mui any face and maintained the original price.

Giving Anita Mui face would make Qian feel very embarrassed.

Talking about relationships costs money!

"I have no problem with this; I can transfer the money anytime."

Anita Mui really didn't care whether it was 200,000 or 300,000.

When she passed away in 03, she left her family an estate of 6800 million.

"Happy cooperation!"

Su Chao shook hands with Anita Mui, and someone will discuss specific collaborations with Anita Mui's side later.

Su Chao was not worried that Anita Mui would steal his songs.

"Principal~"

The monk nudged Su Chao's arm, gesturing for him to look towards Lin Zhimeng.

Su Chao glanced at it and then walked over.

"I'm sorry, Mengmeng doesn't drink alcohol."

The party organized by Lin Jianyue was mainly aimed at the entertainment industry, so naturally, it wasn't just celebrities who attended.

Celebrities are in the spotlight, but there are many more behind-the-scenes personnel and bosses of all sizes across the industry. Sometimes, their influence in the entertainment circle is even greater than that of the celebrities.

People have already spotted Lin Zhimeng and want to strike up a conversation with her.

After failing to strike up a conversation, I thought I'd have a drink with her.

We can't refuse to drink, after all, this is a wine party.

You drink one cup, I drink one cup, and we're all drunk in no time.

That is, the party organized by Lin Jianyue.

Everyone had to give Lin Shao face and didn't dare to act recklessly.

If it were a nightclub, they probably would have already put something in the drinks.

"Hey Chao, how's it going in Hong Kong? Are you doing alright? Any troubles? Tell us."

A short, fat, and sleazy guy who looked a bit like Eric Tsang immediately started showing off his superiority when he saw that it was Su Chao.

Those singers and celebrities give Su Chao face, but these small business owners don't need that.

A guy from the mainland actually dared to bring such a hot girl to Hong Kong.

They're really not afraid of having their partners stolen.

If you swing your hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig up.

"I'm doing alright, thanks to the support and guidance from the big shots here in Hong Kong..."

Su Chao responded with a hearty laugh.

However, before the other party could say anything, Su Chao quickly followed up with another sentence:

"After 1997, I will definitely repay everyone!"

The bar was booked out today. The original layout hasn't changed much; people attending the party are gathering in different groups.

There were quite a few people in this group at this time.

There was a brief silence as soon as Su Chao said this.

It's like a duck being strangled.

Lin Zhimeng also lowered her head and smiled.

She knew Su Chao was using someone else's power to intimidate her, but she was also amazed by his boldness and his understanding of people's hearts.

Su Chao doesn't really have a strong background.

However, it cannot be said that they have no background at all.

Anyway, the people here have no way of verifying Su Chao's background.
