Huayu 1995

Chapter 313 Sweating profusely (Seeking guaranteed monthly votes)

Face to face, no more than three meters apart, pretending not to see is going too far.

Zheng Jun gave an awkward laugh and had no choice but to greet him.

"Su Chao, you're here too!"

"Brother Zheng Jun, you're here too!"

The two shook hands excitedly, like old buddies who hadn't seen each other for years.

"I heard you went to Hong Kong. I thought you wouldn't make it back in time."

Zheng Jun made conversation even when he had nothing to say.

"I almost missed it, haha..."

How the hell did you know my whereabouts? Looks like you have a mole in the Red Star Production Company.

Could it be Gao Xiaosong?

Next time, notify the record company's front desk to revoke Gao Xiaosong's access privileges.

"Ha ha……"

But actually, Zheng Jun wasn't trying to find out his whereabouts.

Su Chao felt at most a little awkward when he saw Zheng Jun; he wasn't even annoyed.

After all, Su Chao hadn't even joined the Red Star Production Company when Zheng Jun decided to leave.

Moreover, it was precisely because Zheng Jun left that Chen Jiantian thought of promoting other new talents again, which gave Su Chao the opportunity.

It could even be said that Zheng Jun's departure helped Su Chao secure a very lucrative record deal.

But Zheng Jun didn't think that way.

He betrayed Red Star Production Company, fulfilling only one of his two-album contracts before running away. And it wasn't even a harsh contract—Red Star Production Company's contracts are among the most conscientious in the entire Chinese music scene—he simply climbed the social ladder and ran away.

Zheng Jun is not afraid of Chen Jiantian retaliating against him.

That's PolyGram!

However, this certainty is becoming increasingly unfounded.

Andy Lau, who joined Warner Music in 93, wants to buy songs from Su Chao; Jacky Cheung, who is currently still under PolyGram, also wants to buy songs from Su Chao…

And Leslie Cheung, Princess Consort, Kelly Chen...

I've heard that people like Leon Lai and Ronald Cheng are also trying to get in touch with Su Chao.

PolyGram and Su Chao are becoming increasingly close.

These people are all of higher status than Zheng Jun.

Due to policy restrictions, mainland singers cannot directly sign contracts with Hong Kong record companies.

Zheng Jun wasn't even directly signed with PolyGram, but rather signed with a record company in Shanghai through an affiliation arrangement.

The contract itself has inherent flaws; if we abandon it, he won't even be able to file a lawsuit.

Su Chao only needed one sentence.

It was said that PolyGram had to abandon Zheng Jun in order to continue the next collaboration, and Zheng Jun wouldn't dare doubt PolyGram's decision even in his wildest dreams.

"I saw someone I know, excuse me for a moment."

Su Chao didn't continue chatting with Zheng Jun, as there wasn't anything particularly eye-catching in the other's shop.

He doesn't like anything too rock and roll.

Zheng Jun's main representative works are concentrated in the first album released for him by Red Star Production Company.

Of the songs that followed, only "No Feast Lasts Forever" and "Run Away" were passable, but none of them could compare to "Cinderella," "Naked," and "Back to LS" from the first album.

When Zheng Jun heard Su Chao say he was leaving, he naturally didn't try to stop him.

He genuinely hoped that Su Chao would completely ignore him.

Su Chao wasn't making excuses.

He saw Jiang Shan and Han Hong, who happened to be acquaintances of his.

"Wow, Su Chao, you've gotten even more handsome!"

Whenever Jiang Shan saw Su Chao, she always wanted to tease this handsome young man.

That's probably just a woman's nature.

Han Hong didn't have such thoughts; she had great respect for Su Chao.

She was able to attend the awards ceremony, which shows that she has been doing quite well in the past six months.

With a song called "Hometown" given to her by Su Chao, she swept through several singing competitions and even reached the point where she was able to get commercial performances.

Even without releasing an album, they can still get commercial performance gigs!

That's magical.

Even more bizarrely, some pirates have spliced ​​her songs into other people's albums and sold them.

It's quite popular. "Have I really gotten more handsome? Is it because of my new hairstyle?"

Su Chao asked in a very exaggerated manner.

"Pfft, who did your hair? Did you offend the stylist?"

Jiang Shan couldn't help but laugh.

Su Chao's hair wasn't long, and now it had been roughly grabbed and looked like wildly growing weeds.

"My girlfriend caught me~"

Su Chao shook his head, but unfortunately, his hair, which had been sprayed with gel, was as stiff as if it had been filled with molten iron, and it wouldn't flutter at all.

"Haha, your girlfriend is so cute."

Jiang Shan didn't know how to complain anymore.

However, she did envy Su Chao's girlfriend for finding someone who dared to love and hate so fiercely.

"Principal, I've already signed the contract."

Han Hong occasionally goes to Casablanca to sing, and Huang Bo and Zhou Xun often refer to Su Chao as "Principal," so naturally, Han Hong also started calling him "Principal."

I always feel that calling someone "principal" is very endearing.

"I've prepared some songs for you. Xiao Ke will write a few for you later, and then we'll record your first album."

All of A-mei's songs can be given to Han Hong to sing.

As for why they didn't sell it to A-mei (Chang Hui-mei), it's naturally because that girl's attitude was ambiguous; she was just someone who wanted to make money.

Moreover, there is no need for any additional reason to praise the Red Star Production Company.

"Thank you, Principal. I... I'm considering whether to retire and then officially sign with a company."

Han Hong has been feeling very guilty lately.

Su Chao wrote a song for her...

Damn, Su Chao sells a song for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan now. She signed a distribution agreement with Red Star Production Company, but she's not even a formally signed singer with Red Star Production Company. How is she going to buy these songs?

Su Chao meant that she didn't need to buy it.

We'll talk about it after the album is released. If it sells well, Red Star Production Company will get a bigger share; if it doesn't sell well, it's okay.

With "Too Softhearted," not only did Su Chao become incredibly fat, but the financial situation of the Red Star Production Company also became unprecedentedly impressive.

"No, please don't! I believe you, we're friends!"

Su Chao was startled.

In my past life, I read some public accounts saying that Han Hong had reached the rank of senior colonel, with the treatment of a division commander and so on.

Regardless of its authenticity, it at least shows that Han Hong is doing quite well within the military system.

He never intended to end Han Hong's military career prematurely.

But there are also things that Su Chao doesn't know.

Han Hong worked in a performing arts troupe in her early years, but later retired from it. She returned to the troupe in 09.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to stay inside by yourself.

"Thank you, thank you, Principal. Don't worry, I will never leave the Red Star Production Cooperative in my life!"

Han Hong was almost moved to tears.

From Su Chao's perspective, he never thought he could keep this influential figure in the music industry and who was passionate about charity at Red Star Production Company.

Simply forming a good connection is enough.

However, from Han Hong's perspective, or from the perspective of any other normal person, Su Chao's every action was a great act of kindness.

She was just an insignificant little person.

Yet she was chosen by a legendary songwriter like Su Chao, who even created a new album for her "for free".

If she had even the slightest thought of betrayal, she would have failed the Party and the people.

"There's no need to exaggerate like that."

Su Chao broke out in a cold sweat. Could this older woman have fallen for him?

Although Han Hong doesn't look as...plump as she will later, she really doesn't fit his aesthetic.

There is absolutely no possibility for us!
Fortunately, the eagle entered the field and headed straight for Su Chao, which temporarily relieved Su Chao's embarrassment.

That's right, she came to ask Su Chao to write a song for her.

She hopes Su Chao will write two poems for her.

Although Su Chao's songs are expensive and most of them are sold to singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, she still wants to try her luck.

Why is it that Chen Ming gets to sing Su Chao's song?
Is her eagle not beautiful enough, or is its status not prestigious enough?

She gave it all!
I absolutely must win over Su Chao today.
