Huayu 1995

Chapter 324 Women's Toilet (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The most eye-catching one is probably Pepsi.

But Su Chao felt that this bastard was definitely trying to lead him astray and ride on the popularity of his movie "Too Softhearted".

After all, their regional president said in an interview that they were currently choosing between Su Chao and Aaron Kwok, but Su Chao's side hadn't received any invitation to negotiate at all.

In the 1980s, when Pepsi entered the Asian market, its first spokesperson was Leslie Cheung.

The cooperation between the two parties lasted for five years, starting in 1988 and ending in 1992.

In the 1990s, Hong Kong's entertainment industry entered the era of the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Andy Lau was at the height of his popularity, becoming the second Chinese superstar to partner with Pepsi.

The two sides signed a four-year contract from 93 to 96.

In other words, it will be decided in the second half of this year who will succeed Andy Lau.

Rumors are circulating that PepsiCo is in talks with Aaron Kwok.

Aaron Kwok, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is considered the least skilled among them.

Jacky Cheung's approach is not quite right.

Leon Lai's career has been declining in the last two years.

Aaron Kwok, on the other hand, is on an upward trend.

However, its popularity certainly won't compare to that of the current Scottish Premiership.

Due to systemic issues in mainland China, there wasn't a very direct response to Su Chao's popularity. However, both Hong Kong and Taiwan have television drama projects extending offers to him.

Regardless of your acting skills, as long as you take the role, you're the male lead!
At most... at most I'll sing two songs.

This is the treatment Su Chao received in his previous life as Richie Jen.

Look, here's a Chu Liuxiang and a Lu Xiaofeng. Which one is the character you want?

Oh dear, here's Ding Peng and Fang Zhuowen. Which one catches your eye?

Although PepsiCo is an American company, many of its senior executives are Chinese, so they are naturally very aware of the dynamics within the Chinese community.

This is so damn frustrating!
Aaron Kwok or Su Chao, who should I choose?
It's definitely Su Chao's size, after all, he's known as the "Giant Cannon." There's no smoke without fire, so he must have been seen in the toilet.

I just don't know if it's really true, as the Hong Kong media says, that you have to wrap your waist with it.

Of course, that's not the point. The product being endorsed is a beverage, not a baby's diaper bag or a blue pill.

At least for now, Su Chao is still not as good as Aaron Kwok.

Aaron Kwok debuted in 90 with a motorcycle advertisement and released his first solo album, "I Can't Stop Loving You," in Taiwan. The album sold over a million copies across Asia, and the song "I Can't Stop Loving You" solidified his position in the music industry.

He released four albums in 1992, and his classic 4/6 parted hairstyle became the most popular hairstyle in the 1990s.

In 1993, Aaron Kwok was invited by the State Sports Commission to serve as the "Star of the 7th National Games" and was selected as the most popular male singer in five provinces and one municipality in East China. In the same year, he held 17 solo concerts in major cities across mainland China.

That year, three more albums were released.

Four albums in 94!

Four albums in 95!

Moreover, he began acting in films in 89, and in 91 he collaborated with Andy Lau on "Saviour of the Soul," playing the villain "Silver Fox," for which he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year.

He's much more popular than Su Chao in the film and television industry.

There's a reason why he's called the "Big King" and Su Chao is called the "Little King."

However, "Too Softhearted" makes no sense.

Many people don't understand why this thing is so popular.

You say the song itself is popular, but if you list classic Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, it probably won't even make the top twenty.

Her singing ability wasn't apparent either.

If this song wasn't sung by Su Chao, but by someone else, it probably wouldn't have been much worse.

Unfortunately, even if that doesn't hold true, Su Chao is currently incredibly popular.

This is also where Pepsi hesitated.

Su Chao is a singer-songwriter. Will he have many more songs like "Too Softhearted"?
If he had one or two more songs, he would have even less reason with anyone.

At that time, he will utterly crush the Four Heavenly Kings.

This is where Pepsi's dilemma lies.

They believe Su Chao has more potential than Aaron Kwok.

Moreover, the gap between the two sides will be narrowed to negligible within one or two years, and they may even be overtaken.

Su Chao was unhappy.

He felt like Pepsi was playing a trick on him.

Pepsi was also unhappy; they didn't want their decision to become a laughing stock.

Please hire Aaron Kwok for 800 million RMB for two years, and hire Su Chao for 300 million RMB for two years.

Generally, the contract is for four years.

If Su Chao becomes more popular than Aaron Kwok within the next year or two.

So, was it really stupid of them to sign Aaron Kwok for more than double the price?

The higher-ups will go straight through the surface and into the chromosomes to curse them to death.

The bonus or anything might be gone.

But the most unhappy one has to be Aaron Kwok.

He released six films in 92 and seven in 93. His output decreased in those two years, but he had a clear career plan in order to create classic masterpieces.

Surely they shouldn't be outshone by a newcomer.

If Su Chao gets the Pepsi endorsement and climbs to the top by stepping on his head, he'll truly become a laughing stock in the industry.

He even almost wanted to lower his endorsement fee.

His agent stopped him.

We cannot surrender, we absolutely cannot surrender!

Pepsi, which is known for its generous payments, has lowered your endorsement fee, and other brands will follow suit and make similar demands.

That would mean a complete rout.

It's better to hold on. If things fall apart with Pepsi, find another beverage to endorse, and publicly state that due to brand conflict, they regretfully cannot work with Pepsi, but hope for future cooperation opportunities...

It wasn't until mid-April, when the random shop appeared, that Su Chao received a meeting invitation from Pepsi. The random shop appeared in Shenzhen.

Shenzhen, also known as Pengcheng, is a window to the outside world during China's reform and opening up, and is currently one of the most economically developed cities.

If Su Chao hadn't wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry and had simply wanted to do business, he probably would have gone directly to Shenzhen to develop his career.

These days in Beijing, connections and background matter more.

Just in time, Su Chao decided to go to Shenzhen first, and then go to Hong Kong, which is nearby.

There are only three things to do when you go to Hong Kong.

One is to talk to Pepsi, and the other is to meet with Uncle Lin and discuss investing in the mainland.

Finally, of course, we can't forget Lin Xi from April.

This time, Su Chao didn't bring Lin Zhimeng along. After all, there were only two months left until the college entrance examination, and she had to protect her younger sister and help her prepare for the exam no matter what.

Su Chao was also preparing for the college entrance examination, and he was doing his practice questions very seriously on the plane.

The flight attendant looked at him... with a complicated expression.

There's no way around it; these days, there are very few young people who don't know Su Chao.

Richie Jen's "Too Softhearted" is said to have sold 2600 million copies.

Although there's a bit of exaggeration involved, the combined sales of genuine and pirated copies are definitely in the tens of millions.

It's gotten to the point where almost every young person in town owns one.

The flight attendants naturally bought them too.

And the CDs I bought were genuine.

It's a pity it's not a vinyl version; the vinyl version comes with an autograph.

Unfortunately, the price of over a hundred yuan made even flight attendants hesitate.

Her loyalty isn't that high.

After the plane took off, she came to Su Chao, squatted down next to him, and asked if he needed any help. She then quietly asked if she could get an autograph.

Su Chao saw that the flight attendant was pretty and had a good figure, so he signed a ticket for her.

The flight attendant was so excited that her face turned red and she started panting.

The flight attendant came over a few more times afterward.

The first time I saw Su Chao doing math problems, the second time was the same... Su Chao was still doing math problems until he got off the plane.

Damn it, am I not as attractive as a math problem?
If Su Chao knew what she was thinking, he would definitely reply, "Women may betray you, but math won't!"

Su Chao was accompanied by a monk and a Taoist priest this time.

Lü Bu flew directly to Hong Kong.

No one questioned why Su Chao often made strange moves.

"You can go have lunch, you don't need to come in. Meet here in an hour."

Su Chao stood at the mall entrance and spoke to the two bodyguards.

"Ok!"

The fake Taoist priest grabbed the monk, and the two of them readily complied and left.

They were well aware of their employer's fighting capabilities.

Su Chao took a breath, entered the mall, and slowly made his way to the restroom.

This is a relatively developed area of ​​Shenzhen, so even the toilets are quite modern.

His purpose was not to go to the toilet.

It's...the women's restroom.

That damned system has finally decided to take action against him.

Su Chao couldn't believe it. Su Chao, the most famous singer in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, was actually a pervert. He broke into the women's restroom to look at women's underwear. What an explosive news this was.

So, Su Chao took his phone and stood quietly not far from the restroom, observing for a while.

The men's restroom was fine, though.

Most people urinate standing up, so the stalls aren't too crowded, and people come and go quickly.

But the women's restroom...

Holy crap, there's a queue!

How do I get into the women's restroom?

Getting into the women's restroom feels much harder than getting into Thor's bedroom.

However, Su Chao didn't dwell on it for long.

He wandered around for a while, then quickly changed into a mall cleaning uniform and put on a mask.

Its origins are fairly legitimate.

Money is quite useful.

If you give five yuan, the cleaning staff will be curious about what you're doing, and might even mistake you for a pervert and take you to the police station.

But if you give him 500 yuan, the cleaning staff might knock out a woman you want to sleep with and then guard the women's restroom door for you.

Su Chao said his girlfriend doesn't like using the toilet with other people and needs to occupy the toilet herself.

So I got a set of clothes and a sign that said "Toilet Repair".

Su Chao simply placed the sign at the entrance of the women's restroom.

The solution is that simple!
He was tall and burly, clearly a male cleaner. The female guests, feeling helpless, all went to other floors to use the restrooms.

After Su Chao and the others left, he slowly entered the women's restroom.

Haha, that’s it?
Is this what you call difficult?

The random shop was located in the women's restroom. Su Chao reached out and bought three items. Then he came out, put away the repair sign, went to the cleaning room to change his clothes, disguised himself again, and left.

Three items and one song.

"The Day You Went Away" is accompanied by a Chinese version titled "The First Person I Loved".

The former is a song performed by the Norwegian duo M2M in 2000, while the latter is a cover version by Cyndi Wang in 2004.

Su Chao definitely can't sing it himself.

Damn, that's so cute!
