Chapter 434: No. 18, The Bund
"Woman: I don't know what you are thinking
Still the same place and street
The night of our breakup
Together: That lingering place..."
This is a duet song between a man and a woman.
Long Yue specifically looked up the name of the male singer, and it turned out to be Cang Hong, the singer partner of his sister-in-law.
The name of the song is "No. 18 on the Bund".
She didn't know the meaning of the song title, but from the lyrics, she roughly understood that it was a place with memories.
"M: On a rainy night
Woman: Too familiar street
M: All the feelings
Woman: It’s not that passionate anymore…”
Long Yue, who has never experienced a deep and unforgettable love, actually cannot empathize with the lyrics of this song.
But that didn't stop her from thinking it sounded good.
Those who can empathize basically just stay at that sentence: "I know very well that love is not everything you want."
After all, even in interstellar space, there will still be situations where people are not a good match and are separated.
Especially some male mothers, they have arranged their sons' marriages long ago and will not allow them to fall in love freely. Unless they find a female with better family background and talents, otherwise, forget it.
Just look at Ni Jia and you will know that even if he wants to get rid of the Ni family, he can't just find a female.
So there are still people who can empathize.
But what most people in StarCraft understand more deeply is that they are not a good match. Because of their mismatched talents, they dare not even say that they like each other.
…
After listening to the two songs, Long Yue repeated them twice more and only turned off the computer after commenting on them.
The people around her also listened to it several times.
"Aren't you a good singer, Asus? Come, let's try singing "The Bund Eighteen."
Asus was also quite interested in this song, and he responded, "Okay."
The two began to sing karaoke, while the other males were drinking alcohol-smelling suppressants. The private room was dimly lit and ambiguous.
The other males exchanged glances, and after Long Yue was coaxed into submission by the others, he immediately followed Asius to the male bathroom.
They mocked, "As expected of a coquettish mermaid beastman, he's so quick to pick up females."
"Thank you for your compliments. We mermen are indeed quite popular with females. This is a talent given by our genes. It's useless for you to be jealous."
After admiring his own beauty in the mirror for a few seconds, Asus washed his hands and prepared to leave.
But these males, who usually had fun playing with him, didn't seem ready to let him go so easily.
"Axius, we are all friends. Since you have hooked up with His Highness Long Yue, you should be willing to help us, right?"
"Oh~ How can I help you?"
"It's very simple. Just say good things about us to His Highness, or just tell him you want to be brothers with us.
If that doesn't work, just call us out to play together more often, so we have a chance to interact with His Highness."
Ashus asked with a smile, "What else? With so many of us, you wouldn't want everyone to marry the same female master, right?"
"Of course. If we all marry the same female master, wouldn't we all be competing for her favor?
When the time comes, ask His Highness Long Yue to take us to meet the other princesses, and her sister-in-law, Miss Jiang Qin, is also quite good."
If it were in the past, they might not have been interested in Jiang Qin.
After all, females from the Federation, even if they are S-level, are the worst choice for them.
But now it’s different. After this film, Jiang Qin’s status has become completely different.
From now on, both the Federation and the Empire will beg her for cooperation.
Therefore, becoming her partner will not only prevent you from being laughed at, but will also allow you to leverage the power of those who want to ask for her cooperation or thank her.
If they could become her partners, perhaps their families would be polite to them.
Just look at Ni Jia now and you will know.
Since helping Jiang Qin several times and obtaining her agency rights, he has made a lot of money and also gained a certain say in the Ni family.
So Jiang Qin is also within their range of choice for a partner.
However, Ash laughed after hearing this. "What do you think I am? A wishing fountain?"
She is another princess and the sister-in-law of His Highness Long Yue. She talks as if she is His Highness Long Yue's true love.
They just sang a song together, and he didn't even dare to think like that, so how dare they!
"What do you mean? Are you unwilling to lend a hand to your brothers?"
Ashus's radiant peach blossom eyes smiled even brighter at this moment, "How dare I? If I dare to say that, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this bathroom today, right?"
"It's good that you know. We are all brothers. Don't force us to attack you."
Facing their fierce gazes, Asus was not afraid at all and even had the mood to adjust the cuffs of his shirt.
"Of course I know, this isn't the first time you've used such tactics.
Don't worry, if I ever become successful, I will never forget you good brothers."
The few of them laughed, "That's right, we are all brothers. Instead of fighting with those who don't understand us, why not join us? We can help each other when the time comes."
After they finished talking, they left with laughter, leaving Asus alone, slowly smiling at himself in the mirror.
Then he left the bathroom with an expressionless face and returned to the private room.
During the whole process, Long Yue didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between them, or maybe he didn't care.
…
Jiang Qin just stopped caring about it after releasing the song.
She thought it was great that she had found a partner who could sing, so that she would have a fixed partner for those duets between men and women.
In the next few days, she was busy contacting people to film "Farewell My Concubine".
After consideration, the first director she considered was still Mrs. Yin.
After reading the script, Mrs. Yin also expressed her interest, “I didn’t expect that I told you a few days ago that I hope we can work together again next time.
It turned out so quickly, it’s already the next time.”
"I didn't think of it, especially because you were the first person I thought of."
"Then I shamelessly accepted it. I have a feeling this movie will be a huge hit, and it shouldn't be any worse than the current 'The Dead End'."
Jiang Qin smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have such a strong obsession with whether it will be a hit or not. I just want to film these works and share them with everyone."
"Ms. Jiang Qin lives a very free and easy life. When I was your age, I couldn't be as free and easy as you."
When she was young, Mrs. Yin was arrogant and ambitious, and she only wanted to make works that had the potential to win awards.
I basically won't take on scripts that I'm interested in but don't think are good enough.
But at my age now, I have let go of my competitive spirit and started taking on scripts that interest me.
Of course, she has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has read countless scripts, so there are really very few scripts that can interest her.
Jiang Qin took out two scripts in a row, both of which interested her.
