Chapter 198 The Divine Wealth Attacks

This all-night mahjong game on New Year's Eve ended with the quiet young artist Chen Po-yang killing all three parties.

If he hadn't changed players a few times during the game, and had Zhang Querong, who still didn't think he was a loser, come to the table and help him lose a few games, the other three players might not have lasted until dawn...

"And you said you couldn't play mahjong!" When he finally counted the money, seeing that the cash he exchanged for the chips had filled up his large brand-name wallet, Zhang Querong pinched Chen Boyang secretly with envy and hatred.

"I can only beat those peers who are not so good at playing skills. I can't stand up to the older ones at all. So it's true that I don't have very good skills!" Chen Boyang felt aggrieved: Moreover, it is easy to get addicted when playing mahjong, and it is easy to lose composure when you get addicted - if Su Yun is sitting opposite him as his opponent, it will be very clear when he loses control of his expression!

After all, he was in front of the person he secretly admired, and a young man of his age would definitely want to show his best side.

However, as soon as he said this, his "peers with poor skills" such as Su Yun who were playing cards with him immediately united and gave him a death look.

"Stop calculating, come and have breakfast!" The Mei sisters and Bourne brought the prepared breakfast to the table one after another.

Glancing at Grandma Su busy in the kitchen, Su Yun had other thoughts in her mind: Jennifer, the Filipino maid at home, had already gone on New Year's leave, and the three meals a day these days were all prepared by the strong and healthy Grandma Su. Before, it didn't seem too hard for the four of them to eat, but today, with the addition of this group of guys who were eating and drinking for free, Grandma Su was obviously much more tired.

Due to the large number of wealthy families, emerging tycoons and historical legacies, the domestic industry in Hong Kong has always been particularly developed, with a wide range of types, from maids to housemaids to live-in aunts and foreign domestic workers. For example, the nanny Liu Jie who took care of Zhang Querong and the nanny Jing Jie who took care of He Pingsi are typical nannies who came into being after the abolition of the system of selling maids, commonly known as "maids".

Because she is a maid who takes care of the young master, strictly speaking she is actually a "nanny". Among the maids like mamas, there are also many self-combed girls. However, there is no strict rule like the live-in self-combed aunts that such maids must be self-combed girls who never marry, so some mamas are also taken up by older women who have families.

Su Yun had thought about hiring more servants of different types to serve Grandma Su so that the old lady could enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life. Unfortunately, Grandma Su thought she was not too old to walk. Apart from Jennifer, the Filipino servant who Su Yun had hired without prior notice, and Uncle Sun, the driver who was from the old neighborhood of So Uk Estate, it was difficult for Grandma Su to accept having "outsiders" working at home.

Well, it will only be hard work for a few days. Once Jennifer comes back, Grandma Su can finally relax and have a rest.

Originally, Su Yun was thinking that if she and the sisters from the Mei family helped out in the past few days, they would be able to sort things out, but it turned out that Aunt Su was the same. Originally, she wanted to leave the table to help, but Aunt Su insisted on asking her to greet the guests. Don't be rude and then kick the May sisters and Byrne out of the kitchen, who also wanted to help, and let them have their own fun.

The helpless Mei sisters and Bourne searched for a while, and finally had to turn on the stereo to listen to music.

Su Yun's ears were almost numb from listening to those New Year songs played over and over again. It was thanks to Bourne, a foreigner who didn't understand a word of Chinese or Cantonese, that he still insisted on listening - otherwise he would have had nothing to do.

The Mei sisters' English was not very good, so they could hardly chat with him. And because the ending clip of "The Thousand Faces of the Lady" revealed the truth about his "playing the pig to eat the tiger", the men with different thoughts at the mahjong table simply didn't want him to do even the job of pouring tea and serving water. Apart from occasionally running errands for Su Yun who didn't mind him and delivering snacks and drinks, he just drank tea and ate a variety of New Year snacks while waiting for dawn with his eyes closed.

But he really likes eating these New Year snacks, and he enjoys it.

After the song was played, the TV started playing the New Year program "Every Family Welcomes the Rainbow Phoenix" recorded by Chen Baiyang yesterday.

Looking at a group of artists from TBB, wearing traditional long gowns or cheongsams, singing and greeting the audience, it really feels like the mid-Autumn Festival.

"Alas, we thought we had a chance to perform, but Danny was the only one to sing a New Year's greeting song." Zhang Querong looked at the program with some complaints, "For this, I also specially ordered a new gown and scarf like Danny, but the result..."

As a result, the two newbies who thought they were starting to shine were not even chosen to perform at the New Year’s Eve party. In the end, they had no choice but to buy a peach blossom that was said to be particularly auspicious, and go to Su Yun’s house to hang out, where they had been unable to get a date before. They had boasted to their mother and nanny Liu Jie at home that they had the opportunity to be on TV and that it was at the New Year’s Eve party, so they were particularly confident...

Fortunately, Su Yun did not care and "took them in".

Of course, they both felt a little sad when they saw the invitation to the party casually thrown aside in the cabinet at Su Yun's house.

However, considering that Su Yun is both a manager and a rare international artist in Zhao Group, Chen and Zhang also understood the gap between them - Chen Boyang even developed a bit of inferiority complex because of this.

Thanks to Zhang Querong who was standing next to him and noticed something was wrong, he whispered a few words of comfort to him, and he finally regained his spirits.

In the side room, Su Yun was looking at the fluorescent screen of the TV, and suddenly remembered the New Year songs in the Cantonese region in later generations. For a long time, it was the medley album of "Warner All Stars Happy New Year"...

So she began to think about recording a New Year's song album.

It just so happens that Hong Kong music is now in its golden age of prosperity. There are many masters who can compose music and write lyrics. Let them leave the most festive and joyful faces and songs in the most important festival in China, the Spring Festival. This will definitely be a golden song album that will be "returned" every year in the future...

However, considering that it is not yet time to start preparing for the Spring Festival album, Su Yun has shifted her focus back to the first TBB New Talent Singing Contest.

"Amanda, Alita, how are you preparing for the first rookie singing contest later?" Amanda and Alita are the English names of Mei Aishuang and Mei Yanshuang respectively. As they grow up, it is not appropriate to call them by nicknames like "Big Mei" and "Little Mei" in formal occasions.

In private, Grandma Su and Su Yun would still call the sisters by their nicknames, but when talking about serious matters or in formal occasions, Su Yun would call them by their English names.

After Su Yun was promoted to management during this period, they started to talk seriously about work, and the way they interacted changed from being as close as good sisters to being serious management and artists.

So she estimated that the damage caused by her doing this to the Mei sisters was on the same level as "your parents suddenly calling you by your full name". Mei Aishuang and Mei Yanshuang sat up straight instantly, and then they both turned around at the same time and answered very seriously: "We are almost ready."

"That's good. This is your real chance to shine, so make good use of it." Su Yun encouraged: Being a guest performer on "Happy Tonight" is just to gain audience favor in the early stages. If you want to choose a formal way to debut later, it is better to choose a "debut" from a singing competition, so that you can release records and act in movies in a dignified manner in the future.

Not to mention the distant future, she has already arranged for the two sisters to play one of the two female protagonists in "Armored Policewoman" and a female supporting role with a likable personality.

After confirming that there were no problems with the Mei sisters, Su Yun sent Chen and Zhang, who had been up all night, and the Wang brothers home. She then called the driver Uncle Sun to come over and help take Zhuang Long and Bourne to the hotel room she had booked in advance to rest.

After dealing with this group of noisy young men, Su Yun talked to Grandma Su for a while. Then, after the Wang brothers and all the people from the Wang family next door came to pay their New Year's greetings, Su Yun also started to go out to pay New Year's greetings, taking the New Year's gifts that Grandma Su had prepared for her long ago.

Along the way, Su Yun also got the latest news from the people she knew through New Year's greetings: the Xu brothers officially confirmed their own development, the eldest brother Xu Guwen and the second brother Xu Guwu are still good partners in front of and behind the scenes, the third brother Xu Guying follows Lin Jingying who became famous for her zombie themes, and the fourth brother, her adopted grandfather Xu Gujie, has made up his mind to transfer from Jiahe to Zhen Art Performance...

The best news is that with active treatment and rehabilitation training, Lu Shaolong finally got rid of the crutches that assisted his walking and can stand up again and walk a little on his own!

Looking at the scene of Lu Shaolong's family hugging each other and crying, Su Yun couldn't help but moisten her eyes: Lu Shaolong began to stand up with the help of crutches on the Lunar New Year of 1978. It has been three years since today, the Lunar New Year of 1981. Wolong, who had been tortured by illness for many years, is finally going to soar into the sky again.

"Give me another three years, and I believe I can recover 70% to 80% of my previous strength. That way, the movie that was interrupted halfway can finally be re-filmed." Three years later, he was only in his forties, which was still close to the peak age for a martial artist like him.

Moreover, because of the calm and settled experience in these years, compared with the previous high-spirited and reckless impulsiveness, there is a bit more calmness that comes from the tempering of time.

“Then, as the guardian of the last level, I don’t need any special effects to show the wonders of life and time.” Su Yun, who has grown from a naughty child into an adult, smiled softly when he thought of the content he was responsible for back then.

After spending a few busy days paying New Year's greetings, Su Yun finally had time to prepare the sound effects for the new play.

When Chen Po-yang heard that Su Yun was going to visit an old friend (male) who was good at composing music, and that she was using the excuse of the recent holiday to sing Cantonese opera to please Grandma Su, he quickly put down the microphone and said, "Can I go with you?"

He was determined to guard against this composer friend who shared the same personality as him and trying to get closer to Su Yun. However, when Su Yun mentioned this friend's name, his expression suddenly changed: "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'm leaving now!"

After running back to the rented house in a hurry, Chen Boyang closed the door out of fear. Zhang Querong, who was resting on the sofa, came up to him and said, "What's wrong? Did you try to please Mary's whole family by using the method I taught you?"

"Hey, that's not right, why are you back so early?" Zhang Querong suddenly noticed something was wrong, "I said that because the crew had a temporary problem with the props, the filming was postponed so I could take a break, so I came to your house to rest nearby, and you... But I remembered that you had a day off today, why are you back so early?"

"Don't mention it. Mary actually knew Lu Guting!" Chen Boyang cried. "He and I participated in a creative music competition before. The top three could go to Japan to participate in the Song Festival..."

"Oh, isn't that even better? Since he's a musician you knew before, you have even more reason to stick with Mary." Zhang Querong was a little puzzled at first, then he clapped his hands in sudden realization, "Did you two fight fiercely at that time?"

"It's more than intense..." Chen Boyang covered his face.

At the same time, when Lu Guting heard that a new musician named Danny Chan was supposed to come with her but unfortunately couldn't come due to some matters, he almost jumped up: "That's Danny Chan, right? I remember him, of course I remember him - I will remember him all my life!"

"In order to return to Hong Kong to participate in this competition, I washed plates in the United States for two months to save enough money for the air ticket and living expenses. In the end, the top two winners were Portuguese Eddie Vas and Bobby Chan, a veteran singer. Among the emerging newcomers, the third place winner was Danny Chan!"

"And the fourth place winner who didn't make it into the top three and couldn't go to the Song Festival was me!"

My goodness, this is indeed enough tragedy to remember for a lifetime...

Su Yun persuaded this old friend who had not seen him for many years and finally told him the purpose of her visit: "I want you to help me compose some music and sound effects for my next new movie."

Both are musicians who can compose music. Lu Guting's composing style is more flexible and varied than Chen Baiyang, who focuses on love songs most of the time. The classic love song "A Lifetime of Love" and the majestic and catchy soundtrack of "God of Gamblers" were both composed by him.

"What kind of style do you want?" When it came to business, Lu Guting suddenly became serious.

"I've brought the plot outline with me. You can take a look at it first so you can get a rough idea of ​​what it is about." Su Yun handed him the abridged script of "Brucet's Billions" printed on it.

In the future, this first-generation rich man's novel, whose original work is "Brewster's Millions", will have a very famous Chinese remake called "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
