Huayu: The Unbelievable Matching Mechanism of Jay Chou's Love Songs

Feng Zheng went to get a haircut this morning...

Okay, it didn't work out, because hairdressers these days don't know what's wrong with them. They just want to thin out everyone's hair and give them a slanted fringe, or a middle part or a side part. They don't know what's wrong with them, they just want to make people look like Koreans.

It's not their fault. Back then, some idol groups in South Korea liked to have this hairstyle. Celebrities always lead fashion trends, so whatever hairstyle they have becomes popular.

Korean wave, huh?

"These days, we don't have any advanced technology to eat, and everyone has a lot of hair, so we don't worry about hair loss. In the future, all you'll hear in hair salons is 'short on the sides, no hair on top,' and anyone who dares to thin their hair will have to work their butt off to Tony." Feng Zheng thought to himself.

Since he was going to become a big star, in order to avoid having any "dark history" dug up by people during future "archaeological digging," Feng Zheng had no choice but to buy an electric shaver on the roadside and give himself a simple trim at home.

Oh right, he also bought some hair gel, grabbed some hair from the right side and pulled it back to the back of his head, revealing half of his forehead, creating a very cool and aggressive "two-eight side back" hairstyle, before he was satisfied and ready to go out.

"Meow~"

The adorable Hakimi ran over at some point, patted him a few times with her little hands, and then lay down on the ground on her belly, looking incredibly cute.

Ragdolls, oh ragdolls, no wonder they're made for this...

"Good boy/girl, Hakimi~"

Feng Zheng rubbed its little belly and laughed, saying, "Your dad is going out to earn money. I'll buy you meat when I get back."

It's been two or three days since I brought this little plush toy back. The first day I brought it back, it hid under the bed and was too scared to come out. But in the middle of the night, Feng Zheng turned over in his sleep and found that it was sleeping right next to him.

Feng Zheng's heart almost melted. The next day, he went to the pet store and spent a lot of money to buy cat food and chicken breast for Hajimi.

It's incredibly expensive. These days, fewer people keep pets, unlike in later generations when the number of pets exceeded the number of newborns. Therefore, there are fewer cat food producers, so naturally, the price is higher.

However, on the other hand, although things were expensive in this era, at least they didn't have any advanced technology!

Imported goods, at least they won't rip you off!

Feng Zheng didn't take the subway today; he casually hailed a taxi. In fact, he couldn't afford a taxi, but Feng Zheng thought that since he had a company, such travel arrangements should be the company's responsibility. It was one thing for Wu Zongxian not to mention providing him with an assistant or driver, but couldn't he at least reimburse him for the taxi fare?

If you're really going to be responsible for your own profits and losses, what the hell are you doing signing with a company?!

At 10 a.m., Feng Zheng arrived at a local university, which was also a filming location for "Meteor Garden". Normally, someone like Feng Zheng who writes OSTs should go to the company instead of the film crew, but since the director is in charge of everything, and Director Cai Yuexun has been busy looking at locations recently, the university where the filming location was located happened to have a music classroom, so they simply borrowed it for the songwriters to audition.

When Feng Zheng arrived, there were quite a few people, most of whom he didn't recognize, and for a moment he was a little bored...

Feng Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, 25 years ago was the best. When I had nothing to do, I could light a cigarette, sit on my phone, and watch an episode of the sword-forging competition. Time flew by in the blink of an eye..."

Unlike now, when people are so idle they don't even know what to do.

Just as Feng Zheng was so bored that he wanted to pick at the splinters in his fingers, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure wearing a baseball cap in the crowd of people who came to audition.

"Huh?"

Feng Zheng quickly moved closer: "Brother Jielun, you're here to audition too?"

When he approached, Jay Chou seemed startled, frantically lowering his head and pulling his hat brim down, saying, "You...you've mistaken me for someone else."

"We're from the same company, how could I mistake someone?" Feng Zheng sat down casually next to him and asked, "Brother Xian also asked you to write the theme song?"

He's a really talkative person. It's better to run into Jay Chou, an "acquaintance," when you're bored, even if you're not that close, than to be all alone!

The problem is that Jay Chou didn't want to talk to him; he kept his head down the whole time and said he had mistaken him for someone else...

Feng Zheng: "Don't be shy, don't be timid, we're acquaintances!"

Jay Chou: "Who says I'm acquainted with you! We're competitors!"

Yan Chengxu came to pick up the script today. After a long period of unremitting efforts, he finally got the male lead role yesterday. At first, he didn't notice Feng Zheng, but the scene of Feng Zheng chatting with Jay Chou about everyday things in the crowd was too conspicuous for Yan Chengxu to ignore...

"What is he doing here?"

Seeing Feng Zheng reminds him of the day Feng Zheng carried Lin Zhiling home, and the scene where Lin Zhiling drew the curtains after they went inside. He still hates him to this day.

"I don't know..."

The assistant was also surprised to see Feng Zheng there. She looked around and said, "These people seem to be here to audition for the OST. Our production team is collecting theme songs, and he wouldn't..."

"He can even write songs?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chengxu's anger flared up instantly.

I'm not afraid of my competitors getting the food before me; I'm afraid of my competitors being better than me!

Feng Zheng's physique, looks, and appearance are in no way inferior to his. If this guy also has some talent, wouldn't he and Lin Zhiling really have no chance?!

The assistant, adept at reading people, waved his hand and said, "Hey, there are tons of people who can write songs these days, but how many are really good? If just anyone could write well, our production team would have already found a theme song."

Yan Chengxu's expression softened somewhat upon hearing this, but his hatred for Feng Zheng remained undiminished...

After thinking for a moment, he asked his assistant:

Did they draw lots?

Many of the auditionees for the OST were there through connections. With all sorts of relationships mixed together, it wasn't good who sang first. So the production team used a lottery system, and whoever was drawn would go to audition first.

"Not yet..." The assistant shook his head, looked at Yan Chengxu, and then at Feng Zheng.

He was a smart man, and immediately nodded to Yan Chengxu before turning and walking towards the crew members.

At this point, Yan Chengxu is actually a newcomer, but he is the male lead after all, and they will be working together later. If you give him some benefits, the staff will give him some face.

This led to the situation where, during Feng Zheng's lottery draw...

They drew the last place.

"Holy crap?"

Feng Zheng felt like cursing at that moment...

There are probably dozens, maybe even hundreds, of people auditioning today. Even if each person only gets 5 minutes, it'll take all afternoon or evening to audition. If I come in last, wouldn't that mean...

Are you really going to sit here all night?
