Huayu 1995

Chapter 327 What the hell is the "Song Demon"?

"Wow, it's the legendary singer! I really love your songs, whether they're the ones you sing or the ones you write for others..."

After everyone was introduced and seated, Zhou Haimei immediately expressed her admiration for Su Chao.

She was also a former Miss Hong Kong, but unfortunately she only made it to the top 15. Later, she became a contracted actress with Hong Kong's TVB.

In an environment where there are too many Hong Kong stars, her status is neither high nor low.

Its influence is mainly concentrated in television dramas.

In film, they mostly play supporting roles.

In addition, her debut solo album, "Sunrise Love," released last year, achieved double platinum sales.

She was brought in by Chen Peihua, and Su Chao had no objections, so it was settled.

"What the hell is 'Song Demon'?"

Su Chao was speechless. What kind of trouble is the Hong Kong media causing now?

When I finally become successful, I'll buy all the Hong Kong media outlets and have them write articles praising me every day.

"The 'Magician of the Music Scene,' or 'Singing Demon' for short, also refers to your diverse creative style and rapidly improving singing skills..."

Zhou Haimei clearly knew a lot about Su Chao, and she paid close attention to his information.

He spoke with great confidence and expertise.

People call him the King of Lyrics, the God of Song, the King and Queen of Pop... how come he's become the Demon of Song?

No need!

However, there's no need to discuss this kind of thing. Su Chao has been incredibly busy all day, and he even has a date with Lin Jianyue tonight.

“This movie is easy to shoot. According to my and Sister Peihua’s estimate, it can be finished in about ten days.”

In fact, in the original timeline, the film was shot in just 12 days, with 10 days spent shooting the interior of the phone booth and the remaining two days used to shoot the surrounding exterior scenes.

Su Chao's plan is to finish filming within twenty days.

This time, he gave the script to several lead actors, especially Francis Ng, who received the entire script.

Francis Ng's villainous career has recently reached a new level.

In the hit movie "Young and Dangerous" released at the beginning of the year, he successfully portrayed the ruthless and vicious character of the triad member, Ugly Kun.

In the film, Francis Ng delivered an arrogant performance, occasionally shaking his head, a neurotic style that left a deep impression on moviegoers.

The dialogue is still incredibly powerful today.

You have to keep your word when you're in this business; if you say you'll kill the whole family, then you have to kill the whole family!

However, his death in the movie was rather unfortunate.

Handsome Kun was no match for the "Wan Chai Gun God".

He was shot in the head by a junior police officer who was handling parking tickets.

His career reached new heights, but his attitude towards Su Chao did not change as a result.

Su Chao personally drove to the airport to pick him up when he came to Hong Kong.

He's now known as "Handsome Kun".

If Ekin Cheng gets recognized, he might be asked for photos and autographs, and then have his abs and butt touched. But if Francis Ng gets recognized, he'll probably be beaten with sticks.

I'll make you kill your whole family!

These unscrupulous gangs must be dealt with.

However, he still insisted on picking up Su Chao, partly because Su Chao really valued him and wanted to help him transition his career.

Oh right, it's even harder to change this image now—his on-screen persona is worse than before.

On the other hand, while he doesn't uphold the code of honor in movies, he is not like that in real life.

It wouldn't be right not to welcome a friend who's visiting.

In addition, he did not have any special requirements for his salary. He acted in "My Sassy Girl" for free, and was previously told that he would receive HK$500,000 for "Phone Booth".

His current market value for film salaries exceeds HK$1.5 million.

He has become a top villain.

However, he did not ask for a raise; he kept the previous calculation.

Lau Ching-wan's salary is even lower.

Li Ruotong and Zhou Haimei seem to be making cameo appearances.

After discussing the time and place for the photoshoot, we finished our afternoon tea.

Su Chao went to find Lin Jianyue without stopping.

If someone could locate Su Chao, they would find him jumping around in Hong Kong, sometimes here, sometimes there.

When I met Lin Jianyue, it was indeed lunchtime.

However, after eating so much tea and snacks, Su Chao really didn't have much of an appetite left.

However, Lin Jianyue was quite down-to-earth today, and did not take Su Chao to eat Western food that did not suit his taste.

Instead, they chose barbecue.

This shop's main selling point is the fun of hands-on work.

The way of eating is simple and unpretentious. However, the ingredients and the dining environment are of the highest quality.

This place is obviously a prime spot for ripping off tourists.

“I’m friends with the owner here, so I made sure he reserved the best cuts of meat for me. There’s only one of these on a cow.”

Lin Jianyue and Su Chao met and shook hands first.

Su Chao was stunned for a moment, then his attention was instantly drawn: "Bullwhip? Is Young Master Lin trying to use the shape to cure the shape?"

Su Chao has never really eaten it before.

The smell was a bit strong, and since he didn't have that need, he naturally declined.

"Get out! Beef tongue! Grilled beef tongue!"

Lin Jianyue was so angry he laughed.

“Oh…” Su Chao was speechless: “It’s your own ambiguous statement that’s to blame, not mine.”

A little joke can easily bridge the gap between people.

"They're here! Let's grill it ourselves, chat while we grill, I really enjoy grilling meat myself..."

Lin Jianyue is not pretentious.

He's a second-generation rich kid, and there are always people grilling meat for him, but he prefers to do it himself.

At thirty-nine years old, he has no barriers with young people like Su Chao.

It's probably because the women he plays with are all relatively young.

"Then I'll have to learn more from them. I've never grilled meat myself before."

Su Chao also became interested.

However, there was a lot of ambiguity in his words; he said he had never grilled meat before.

The main reason is that the original owner was too poor. He only ate barbecue for the first time last year. And as the principal, when he went out to eat barbecue, the students would always do it for him.

It's an honor to grill meat for the principal.

But to Lin Jianyue, Su Chao's background was extraordinary; he could have someone wait on him while he ate barbecue in his own villa.

how to say.

Su Chao's family background is no secret, but few people bother to investigate it.

Hong Kong media only report on topics that interest them.

For example, a recent hot topic in the news is how many women Su Chao has.

The focus is on the number of beautiful women appearing in his music videos.

This review revealed a surprising fact: Hong Kong media were delighted to discover that Su Chao was surrounded by an overwhelming number of beautiful women.

To date, more than a dozen young girls have filmed music videos for Su Chao.

Eight beautiful young women were featured on one album!
Moreover, each has its own unique characteristics.

This has led many Hong Kong and Taiwan fans to mistakenly believe that there are beautiful women everywhere in mainland China.

Damn it, Su Chao, is this what you call being virtuous and clean?

We really misunderstood you; we thought you liked rich women.

It turns out the flavors are quite mixed.

Mainland media outlets, however, were lenient towards Su Chao because he had donated three Hope Primary Schools.

Su Chao donated two Hope Primary Schools last year, and another one earlier this year. He also donated 100,000 yuan for last year's earthquake relief.

Because we want to keep a low profile, we try not to make a big fuss about it.

There were people above suppressing the news, so naturally, news related to Su Chao's family background was also suppressed.

That's how it is here. When the higher-ups say they want to suppress news about Su Chao that isn't in the form of official press releases, the lower-ups will amplify that requirement, and no one dares to report anything else casually.

In addition, there is no such thing as the internet.

Therefore, Lin Jianyue had no idea about Su Chao's background.

He had a preconceived notion that Su Chao was a second or third generation from the capital.

He not only came to Hong Kong to develop his career, but also brought a specific mission with him.

"What's there to learn? Just bake it a few more times and you'll get the hang of it."

Lin Jianyue personally grilled two skewers for Su Chao.

Su Chao didn't hold back either.

Let's start by talking about "Phone Booth".

He had previously told Lin Jianyue that he wanted him to invest in a film, a film destined to make a lot of money, which would serve as a solid foundation for their collaboration.

Mr. Zhou once said that so-called borrowing money is just cheating friends out of money.

If the cooperation goes well, Su Chao can borrow a few million from Lin Jianyue if he needs money to speculate on stocks later.

Lin Jianyue readily agreed.

The one million investment will be transferred to the designated account upon return.
