Huayu 1995

Chapter 55 I Only Bully You

"I've got a lead on the song for release mid-month; I'll be recording the instrumental track in a few days~"

Don't worry, the deliveryman will be here soon.

Su Chao hurried to Yan Siyuan's office.

Turn on the air conditioner first, and then start making calls according to the number on the pager.

"Hello, this is Su Chao!"

"Su Chao, this is Zhang Guoli. What are you busy with?"

"They're singing at a karaoke bar."

"Singing in a nightclub? Oh right, you're a resident singer at a nightclub. I'd like to talk to you about advertising and music videos."

Zhang Guoli is also a man of action; he has already arranged work for Su Chao.

It's not that he's a particularly fast shooter.

The main thing is that the client entrusted the project to him, so all he needed to do was find the right person and help with the quality control.

Given his expertise, if he says it's okay, then it definitely is.

Don't underestimate him just because he's an actor; his influence has already extended to many aspects of the entertainment industry.

They're just all pretty low-end.

"Why don't you come to the Casablanca nightclub, and we can talk face-to-face? I'll buy you a drink."

"It's so late at night..."

"Someone with your refined taste must come to a karaoke bar to listen to some songs and have a drink. It's so hot, and the girls are all dressed very lightly."

"Ahem, a little drink isn't good... Oh dear, oh dear, I didn't say I was going..."

Things calmed down quickly over there.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Su Chao suppressed a laugh. This old bastard was actually afraid of his wife. Sure enough, a new wife is always the best.

"What could possibly happen to me? The advertisement is for the soap and coconut palms I mentioned last time. I swear on my heart you'll be fine. Don't you dare ruin my chances."

Zhang Guoli glared at his new wife.

Deng Jie gave him a flirtatious wink and headed towards the bed.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely land this little advertisement easily. If you ever direct a movie in the future, I won't let you down if you cast me as the lead actor."

Su Chao sat comfortably in Yan Siyuan's boss chair, making a phone call.

I wonder if Zhang Guoli is as comfortable as he is now.

"The music video is Jiang Shan's 'Water Town in Dreams,' but I wasn't the director. I'll introduce you to the past."

He's already busy here.

"This song was released last December, right? It's been more than half a year, and they're only now starting to film the music video?"

Su Chao had certainly heard this song.

Those lingering memories / have turned into a wisp of smoke / and vanished into the distance...

"What do you know? These days, most songs are released first and then the music video is made. The music video is only made after the song becomes popular."

Zhang Guoli had no interest in explaining these things to Su Chao.

Simply put, they learned from Hong Kong and Taiwan: first compose the music and record the master tape, then release the tape, and decide whether to shoot a music video based on the market response.

For a hit song like "Water Town in Dreams," a music video is usually reshot within three months.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shan is a star who excels in both acting and entertainment.

She became famous after starring in the romance drama "Addiction" in 1993, and only then did she sign with a record company and release albums.

But her main profession is still acting.

The drama is bigger than life.

There wasn't even time to shoot a music video before I joined the cast to film "Flowers Bloom and Fade" and "The Big Family".

I only managed to find time to prepare for shooting the music video last month.

"You really know more..."

Something sounds off about the voice on the other end. Is Zhang Guoli still being beaten?
"Alright, alright, let's get straight to the point," Zhang Guoli said quickly, seemingly a bit busy. "The music video is in a bit of a rush. Today is Tuesday, and we'll shoot it on Saturday. The commercial is next Monday. We'll shoot two in one day. Is your schedule okay?"

"I'm fine with everything, but when it comes to filming, where should I report?"

Su Chao didn't expect anyone to drive him, the male lead.

He is just a human-shaped prop.

"Write down the specific address..."

Zhang Guoli was lying in bed at the time and gave the address to Su Chao.

Su Chao had just finished writing down the address when the call ended.

That bastard Zhang Guoli, in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo," gave his new wife to Liu Yong as his wife. I wonder if he has some kind of special fetish today.

I have no choice but to follow him now.

Whether shooting commercials or music videos, they get excellent exposure.

These days, there's no internet, only film studios and TV stations. If you want to get ahead, you have to seize opportunities.

If he can't get ahead, even if Su Chao has a script, it won't be of much use.

But what if Zhang Guoli forces him to do something to his wife...?

What should we do then?

No, we must become stronger quickly.

For the sake of chastity!

In order not to be used as a prankster.

Su Chao quickly printed more materials in Yan Siyuan's office. The second class would be held next month.

Hurry up and finish an album to release. As long as the songs are good enough, no matter how bad the environment is, you won't have to walk on thin ice anymore.

Things that are free are always the best.

Uh, I'll pass on other people's wives.

Although I can understand Prime Minister Cao, it has to be done secretly, behind the back of her husband.

If three people are playing a game together, they are more likely to be ambushed from behind.

Su Chao had just finished working on the documents and was about to leave the office when Yan Siyuan, looking resentful, walked in.

"Brother, who offended you? Tell me, and I'll help you get revenge."

Su Chao looked concerned.

"You still have the nerve to ask me? You've almost made my machine smoke."

Yan Siyuan discovered that his chair had been sat on.

"Don't worry, bro. This machine is sturdy. Don't be so stingy. Look at me, I don't even go to the music director's office at other karaoke bars to make copies."

Don't worry, I'll only bully you!
"Have you... received any calls from other karaoke bars?"

Yan Siyuan immediately lost his temper.

He began to reflect on himself; it was just a few hundred sheets of photocopying paper, wasn't it?

It’s no big deal.

Look how scared that child is.

"No, why would anyone be looking for me? Haha..."

Su Chao started acting.

At this point, if he were to say with absolute certainty that someone had approached him trying to poach his employees, Yan Siyuan might not necessarily believe it.

Su Chao's evasive and thoughtless denials are unacceptable.

Yan Siyuan, on the contrary, firmly believed that someone had contacted Su Chao.

He stared at Su Chao's expression and tentatively asked, "It's from Peace House, isn't it?"

That's why I guessed it was this karaoke bar.

It was because the other party's music director had called him, hoping to invite Su Chao to sing for one night.

This can also be considered a commercial performance.

Unfortunately, the guests at Peace House have been frequently asking the singer to sing "Goodbye" lately.

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Casablanca was keeping a close watch, so there was no chance to secretly record.

Even if their singers came to learn from them, they wouldn't be able to master it in a short time.

Therefore, they planned to hire Su Chao at a high price for a "commercial performance," so that they could either secretly record it or poach him from other companies without any problem.

However, Yan Siyuan was no fool.

There is no concept of being cuckolded.

He rejected their sweet talk without hesitation.

I never expected them to actually camp out at my own doorstep.

Yan Siyuan is now more nervous looking at Su Chao than Wu Dalang looking at Pan Jinlian.

Ximen Qing is coming!
Mist grass.

"What Peace House? There really isn't one. Bro, don't you know who I am?"

Su Chao offered a weak explanation.

"Really?" Yan Siyuan stared at him, his conviction growing stronger.

If you hadn't mentioned your character, I wouldn't have been so suspicious of you.

I'm depreesed.

Nobody in this world is loyal.

You only realize what dependence means when your pants lose their belt.

Casablanca cannot exist without the Scottish Premiership, just as the West cannot exist without Jerusalem.

“Absolutely true! I had such a great time in Casablanca, Sister Hong took good care of me, and you were so generous, brother. There’s no reason for me to go work at No. 3, Jinyu Hutong, Wangfujing, Dongcheng District, don’t you think?”

Su Chao quickly pledged his loyalty.

"Ahem, don't worry, just sing well at the karaoke bar, and they won't treat you badly."

Damn it, you said you didn't know Peace House, but you've already asked around about where it is.

Are you ready to switch jobs at any time or something?

"Brother, I need to borrow some money from you..."

How could Su Chao possibly let such an opportunity pass by? He had been wanting to borrow money for a long time.

"The Moon Caused the Trouble" probably won't cost more than 50,000 yuan, which is definitely enough now.

However, Su Chao needs to raise money for the random store in August.

The random shop refreshes once a month.

The items inside can be purchased directly; Su Chao doesn't need to go through the trouble of hunting wild octopuses.

Not only will it refresh the blind boxes, but there's also a chance to get some really good items.

Most importantly, the random stores offer significant discounts.

This is definitely a clearance sale.
