Huayu 1995

Chapter 53 Only the Unfortunate Turn to the Dark
Su Chao saw the "Blue Lotus" on Xu Wei.

It's ridiculously expensive.

Even after the discount, the price is still 32,000.

However, it's not that he can't afford it now.

A significant portion of the training fees from the nineteen trainees has already been deposited into his savings account.

He himself also has several thousand yuan in savings.

But what do you do after you buy it?

Xu Wei is not currently valued by Red Star Production Company, and he may not have the opportunity to sing his songs after they are submitted.

Even if Su Chao specifically requested him to sing, Hongxing might not be willing to pay more than 30,000.

No, I definitely wouldn't!

Buying Blue Lotus won't solve the problem.

Moreover, Xu Wei is a singer-songwriter, and he also needs to grow.

If you buy him everything and give it to him, he might become even more depressed.

I have this inexplicable feeling of living in your shadow.

It would be better to take him out for drinks or to Casablanca for karaoke.

If he wants to sleep with women, he can take him to rescue fallen young women.

You can also go for a foot massage.

Only the unfortunate turn dark; the happy turn yellow.

Once you step into a foot massage parlor, you'll never have a sweetheart again.

Even if someone is a little depressed, it shouldn't lead to suicidal tendencies.

Artists tend to be sentimental, as it's a source of inspiration, especially musicians.

"This is our new recording studio. Before, Zheng Jun used to record songs at Baihua Recording Studio, which cost 42,000 yuan just for rent. Now we have our own..."

Zhang Weining felt comfortable being called "brother" by Su Chao and enthusiastically helped introduce various equipment.

And now Zheng Jun is gone.

He also needs to find new partners.

He didn't know Su Chao's skill level, but the strategy of "casting a wide net to catch more fish" was definitely correct.

Su Chao was also very polite.

We might have to rely on others to release albums later.

So, since both parties were interested in each other, they naturally had a very pleasant conversation.

Su Chao is so handsome, it's hard for Tian Zhen to have a bad impression of him.

Xiao Ke didn't have any feelings for Su Chao.

Because when it comes to creative work, he doesn't think he's inferior to anyone else.

In other words, if Su Chao is also a singer-songwriter who also follows the pop music route, then he and Su Chao are direct competitors.

Hongxing Production Cooperative has limited resources...

And Su Chao is even more handsome than him.

Su Chao stayed in the recording studio for two hours, observing Xiao Ke's recording process.

He needs to do more research, otherwise it will be troublesome if he doesn't understand anything when it's his turn.

The system can provide finished products, but the quality is questionable; they're only good for playing around with and don't meet the standards for direct release.

Tian Zhen stayed for a while and then left.

She's a very busy person now; that's how it is after becoming famous.

Zhang Weining and Xiao Ke continued recording the song.

Su Chao encouraged Xu Wei to go to a karaoke bar with him.

"I don't even have money for transportation right now."

Xu Wei gave a wry smile.

Someone invited him to a bar, and the group spent over a thousand dollars, but he ended up paying the bill.

The already strained economic situation has been exacerbated.

The saying goes, "Wander the world with a sword," but even if the sword is gone, the debts remain...

After that, he kept his distance from those people.

Although Su Chao looks respectable, you can't judge a book by its cover, and nobody knows if he'll cheat people.

If he were to encounter this situation again, Xu Wei would truly be penniless.

"I'm singing over there. I'll buy you a drink. You can go check out the atmosphere. If you need anything, I can introduce you to a live performance..."

Su Chao clearly knew what he was afraid of.

Don't be fooled by Su Chao's appearance of being eighteen years old; he's actually a thirty-something old man at heart.

"It's too difficult to be a resident singer in Beijing."

Not only do they have to sing, but they also have to drink and chat with customers.

"Let's go, having more connections is better than just writing songs for others all the time. Besides, you're not exactly a prolific person."

With a half-pulling, half-dragging motion, Su Chao took Xu Wei away.

Xu Wei rode his bicycle with Su Chao on the back—Su Chao didn't put his arm around Xu Wei's waist; he was carrying a guitar in one hand.

"Your guitar is pretty good!"

Poor Xu Wei, he was drenched in sweat staring at the car.

There's no way he can hold a guitar in each hand and still sit upright without falling off.

"Absolutely..."

Su Chao felt the cool breeze from the bicycle as he rode along, and he was singing a song.

Sister, you sit at the bow of the boat / Brother walks on the shore / Loving each other, the tow rope sways gently...

Xu Wei looked exasperated.

Is this guy out of his mind? He arrived at the karaoke bar before it was even time for his shift to start.

"Brother Chao~"

The security captain, along with all the security team members, respectfully welcomed Su Chao's arrival.

Don't underestimate Su Chao just because he's only been here a few days. He's definitely the most awesome resident singer in the entire karaoke bar. After all, no other singer can get the attention of both Boss Yan and Sister Hong at the same time.

Some even suspect that Su Chao is the illegitimate son of President Yan and Sister Hong.

“This is my friend, I took him inside directly.”

Su Chao parked his bicycle, picked up his guitar, and walked straight inside.

"Have a great day, Chao Ge!"

The security captain bowed and scraped, completely disbelieving that Chao Ge's friend needed to pay an entrance fee.

“Take this and distribute it to the brothers.”

Just as he was about to go inside, Su Chao took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Thank you, Brother Chao. I'll arrange it for you in the middle of the month."

The security captain understood immediately. Lu Bu had also come to work today, and he told him about Su Chao's request.

It's simply too easy.

Moreover, Su Chao is a respectable person in his eyes, and he would never do something like forcibly kissing Zhang Yu.

Once inside the karaoke bar, Su Chao ordered Xu Wei a drink and asked him to sit down. Then he went to find the sound engineer.

"Why didn't Brother Chao come yesterday?"

The sound engineer was very polite to Su Chao.

The fact that Su Chao didn't come yesterday only makes his awesomeness stand out even more.

Even though Su Chao was notified in advance that he wouldn't be coming, it couldn't stop the guests from complaining.

Finally, Sister Hong went on stage to appease everyone, and had Sha Baoliang and Wu Xiubo, two old men, sing together, which barely calmed the guests down.

Someone is releasing a new song at a karaoke bar!

The news has spread, and many people have come to visit.

"I had something to do yesterday, could you arrange for Xu Wei's song for me?"

Su Chao handed him a cigarette.

Previously, when requesting songs not on the song list, they would say they had already discussed it with Sister Hong.

Now he doesn't even act anymore.

Do you have a backing track? I don't have one here.

The sound engineer wasn't worried at all about being blamed by President Yan, as this was one of President Yan's favorites.

"I brought 'The Blue Bird.' I'll talk to Mr. Yan about adding it to the playlist later. It's a really nice song."

In the internet age, this song is controversial.

Did the theme song "Blue Bird" for the 2008 anime series "Naruto" sung by Ikimonogakari borrow from Xu Wei's song?

Su Chao had no opinion on this.

He simply wanted to sing this song.

"Leave it to me. Shall we start singing now? There aren't many customers yet."

The sound engineer showed no sign of disobeying.

It's not that Su Chao only encountered good people, but rather that he was good at leveraging opportunities.

Only when the momentum is right will a sound engineer be willing to risk offending Su Chao.

Moreover, Su Chao is very tactful in his actions.

His request was not excessive.

"Hello everyone... Lance is back!"

Su Chao began warming up the crowd.

At this time, the karaoke bar was not very full.

However, Su Chao was used to doing things his own way and didn't care at all whether the karaoke bar was officially open for business or not.

"Chaochao, I love you~"

A still-attractive wealthy woman blew Su Chao a kiss.

Can this be tolerated?
Su Chao immediately replied with three "claps".

The audience burst into laughter.

In fact, men want to conquer women, and women also want to conquer men.

The more you dodge and weave, the more you'll arouse their wicked thoughts.

Fights in karaoke bars are usually caused by unfulfilled desires.

Someone as open and honest as Su Chao makes him seem innocent and adorable, preventing one from harboring many evil thoughts.

Moreover, unlike Wu Xiubo who addressed everyone as "ladies and gentlemen" and presented himself as a particularly gentlemanly man, he always addressed everyone as "brother" and "sister," further downplaying the gender relationship.

In his past life, he was involved in training and spent some time studying psychology.

"Today I'm going to sing a song by my buddy, which he wrote himself. Although he's not as good-looking as me, he's much more talented. I hope you'll like it."

Su Chao interacted very casually with the guests.

As Xu Wei listened to Su Chao sing his song "Bluebird," his guard gradually dissipated.

Because they really can sing.

Moreover, the way he sang was somewhat different from his.

It is obvious that his song has been adapted to some extent.

Talent...

They shouldn't be underestimated!
