Huayu 1995

Chapter 74 The Moon's Fault (Seeking First Subscription)
Zhang Yu was dressed casually and wearing sunglasses... he really looked like he was here for tourism.

They certainly can't say they're here to discuss performing on the Spring Festival Gala.

If the deal falls through and it's interpreted as mere incompetence leading to elimination, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

One of his henchmen ran over and said a few words to the security captain.

After exchanging the password, the information was confirmed to be correct.

Yes, that's what you call professional!

Several tall, burly bodyguards surrounded Zhang Yu in a specific formation.

Su Chao was very close.

But now that we're almost there, there's no need to be too impatient.

Consider it foreplay.

To avoid being accused of sexual harassment.

Zhang Yu slowed down and waved to his fans, who responded enthusiastically.

Clearly, every move a celebrity makes can capture the hearts of their fans.

Even if the movements are perfunctory, it's the same.

Zhang Yu released "With Good Intentions" in 93 and "Hard to Explain" this year, both of which are very classic songs.

Last year, the premiere of "Bitter Heart" on Beijing Music Radio helped Zhang Yu completely open up the market in mainland China.

However, since pirated copies accounted for at least 80% of his sales, he didn't actually earn much from records in mainland China.

Therefore, his feelings toward the mainland market are very complicated.

This is a common feeling among most Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

As celebrities and fans get closer, the bodyguards start to get nervous.

I'm worried about overly aggressive fans.

This has nothing to do with manners; it's only natural to get excited when you see your idol.

Zhang Yu took out a pen and began signing autographs for his fans.

He signed his name as he struggled forward.

Su Chao skillfully blocked the enthusiastic fans, protecting Zhang Yu from being assaulted.

Only I can touch this boss!
He felt a weight on his arm, and someone pounced on him.

Suppressing the urge to kick the person away, a martial artist's instinct must be suppressed, otherwise Su Chao would replace Zhang Yu as the protagonist today.

However, girl, isn't it a bit too bold of you to attack me with your big breasts?

Take it away from me!

Su Chao discovered that some girls might not even be targeting Zhang Yu.

They didn't even glance at Zhang Yu.

They went straight to Su Chao.

There's nothing we can do about it; Chang Yu isn't exactly known for his looks. Some fans like his songs, and out of love for his music, they come to greet him at the airport.

But after meeting him in person, I was greatly disappointed.

There was one guy in the bodyguard team, dressed in a suit and tie like a refined scoundrel, who was incredibly handsome.

He's taller and more handsome than Zhang Yu, and his voice is also exceptionally pleasant.

Although he was just a bodyguard with low social status, girls were willing to have a relationship with him without the intention of marriage, just because of his face.

"Could you give me your autograph?"

A girl pushed past two rivals and approached Su Chao, handing him a piece of paper and a pen.

"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"

Su Chao was startled and quickly pulled two people over to block the infatuated girl's path.

Please don't get me into trouble.

I haven't received my copy of "The Moon Caused the Trouble" yet.

What if Zhang Yu gets angry and abandons his bodyguards to return to Taiwan? Who am I supposed to ask to get my things back?

I don't have an Eleven Lang.

Taking advantage of the crowded conditions, Su Chao quietly approached Zhang Yu.

Others only thought he was helping Zhang Yu fend off the groper.

But in reality, Su Chao had already completed all the transactions in just a few seconds.

All that effort for just this one second!
Product Information: The Moon Caused the Trouble

Lyrics, composition, and arrangement: Phil Chang/Hui-Wen Hsiao/Phil Chang/Michael Thomson
Overall system rating: 8.8
Creation start date: October 22, 1997

Release date: August 8, 1998

Having finally obtained the classic song he had been longing for, Su Chao felt a mix of emotions.

He only spent 500 yuan to open the blind box containing "Goodbye".

"The Moon Caused the Trouble" costs 86,000 RMB!

Damn, not a single penny less.

That's fucking expensive!
However, considering the classic status of "The Moon Causes Trouble," this price is not unreasonable.

After all, Lin Xi charges HK$15 for a single lyric these days.

Not only that, but a 0.8% royalty will also be charged.

Su Chao didn't hesitate at all. As long as he had it, he would take it without hesitation, no matter how much it cost.

He knows better than anyone how popular this song is.

The price of 86,000 is the buyout price. Not only do he not have to share royalties with others, but he also enjoys 100% copyright.

He wanted someone else to sing this song, so that someone else could sing it.

He can take it back at any time if he doesn't allow it to be sung. He is the only original singer!
In addition, he also won the award for "Little Sun".

Product Information: "The Little Sun"

Lyrics, composition, and arrangement: Phil Chang/Hui-Wen Hsiao/Phil Chang/Michael Thomson
Overall system rating: 7.2
Creation start date: October 16, 1998

Release date: August 8, 1998

Zhang Yu's three products are all songs: "The Moon Caused the Trouble," "Caged Bird," and "Little Sun."

"The Caged Bird" cannot be selected.

One reason is that even with a 20% discount, this song still costs 40,000 RMB.

Su Chao doesn't have enough money.

On the other hand, the song was started in November 1995, which is only three months ago.

Su Chao should be able to release the album within three months.

He wasn't confident that the album would reach Taiwan.

When Shiyilang finished writing the lyrics, he discovered that there was already an identical song on the market.

Should she suspect Su Chao of breaking into her house to steal, or should she believe that Su Chao and she are on the same wavelength?

Others believed in Su Chao, a newcomer to the music scene.

I still believe in Eleven Lang, the talented Taiwanese woman who helped Zhang Yu rise to fame in the Chinese music scene.

"The Little Sun" only costs 15,000.

The original price was 30,000, but the system gave it a 50% discount.

这首歌的发行时间是1998年12月8日，而系统给的创作起始时间为1998年3月16日。

This gives you plenty of time.

If Su Chao can't release the album within three years, he might as well go find a rich woman.

The system is actually quite user-friendly.

All the items provided are marked with the creation start date.

This creation start date is not the date the song was completed, but rather the point in time when the idea for the song was conceived and the creation process began.

As long as it's released and circulated before that time, no one can cause trouble.

Many film and television scripts and songs, even if they are released late, may have been written and put there ten years earlier.

If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, that would be a real problem.

After buying two songs, Su Chao only had a few thousand yuan left.

Fortunately, he is not the same person he used to be.

He only borrowed money from Yan Siyuan; he hasn't even lent money to Sister Hong yet.

And there's also Chan Kin-tim, Lam Chi-meng...

Good heavens, if it weren't for the fact that there were only three months left before the creation of "Caged Bird," Su Chao would really want to borrow money right now and then find an opportunity to get close to Zhang Yu and empty his pockets.

Su Chao loosened his tie, and they finally broke through the airport fans' blockade, successfully escorting Zhang Yu out of the airport.

Zhang Yu got into the car that had been arranged for him, while Su Chao and the others got into another car.

There wasn't much of a commotion after that.

Only two people need to be left to serve the employer.

"Brother Chao, do you want to come to the hotel with me? They've booked a room for you and Lu Bu to stay together... for about three days."

The security captain cautiously inquired about Su Chao's intentions.

"I came with high spirits, and I'm leaving now. I have other things to do tonight. Thanks for today, Captain. I'll treat you to drinks sometime... But that doesn't seem very sincere. How about next time I go to karaoke, we can go get some skewers after I finish singing!"

Zhang Yu used it up and then threw it away.

The captain is no good.

If there are similar opportunities in the future, we'll have to rely on the captain to arrange for him to get closer to the target.

"Ah, okay then, haha~"

The captain was slightly taken aback, but was immediately moved by Su Chao's words.

In his eyes, Su Chao was already a capable person.

It is his honor to ask him for a favor.

Despite everyone calling him "Captain," most people treat him like a watchdog and don't really respect him.

Su Chao offered to treat him to drinks.

It wasn't just a perfunctory gesture; we actually made a date to have some barbecue after get off work.

You must go!
Even if it's raining knives from the sky, he'd still keep the appointment even if he had to carry a pot lid on his head.

Su Chao took the security team's car back.

When the security captain learned that he was going to the Red Star Production Cooperative, he insisted on taking him there, even though it wasn't on his way.

Lu Bu followed the captain.

"Damn, what day is it today? Why are you dressed so formally?"

Chen Jiantian was surprised by Su Chao's sudden visit.

Even more surprising was Su Chao wearing a suit and tie in the middle of summer.

He used to work at Wea Records HK, where he always dressed formally in a suit and tie, but since coming to the mainland, he has let himself go.

Now he's wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and slippers.

"Brother, my inspiration is flowing like a torrent right now. Can you arrange a place for me to write?"

Su Chao couldn't wait any longer.

Plagiarism didn't make him feel guilty at all; he didn't have that kind of guilt.
