Chapter 241 One after another
Although such absurd thoughts suddenly came to their mind, Chen and Zhang still knew their limits and their place at this moment. After laughing for a moment, they could only sit back in their chairs and watch Su Yun go to greet the new guests.
The first group of people who came were indeed the friends who had returned from Japan. Su Yun originally wanted to go over and have some fun, but when she saw that the atmosphere between them seemed a little off, she stopped immediately and looked at the sullen Lin Jiashu with concern: "What happened?"
Looking at the situation between the three people, the two Wang brothers were silent with a bit of guilt, while Lin Jiashu looked like he was betrayed and abandoned. Su Yun had no choice but to put Lin Jiashu first in the questioning.
"They want to quit the team." Lin Jiashu replied.
Feeling Su Yun's gaze towards him, Wang Jiaju, as the older brother, could only take the initiative to explain: "Jiaxiang and I have thought about it. We plan to return to Hong Kong to make music after graduation."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Su Yun suddenly realized: it turned out that there was no internal conflict, but that everyone had their own aspirations and longed for their hometown.
"You two go and help with the barbecue stove first. I'll talk to him." Su Yun winked at the two brothers. Wang Jiaju and Wang Jiaxiang felt as if they had been pardoned. They hurriedly picked up their things and ran to the eldest brother of the Wang family who was working on the stove.
Lin Jiashu looked at the two of them who were almost fleeing in panic, and his aura, which was already bad to begin with, instantly became three points lower.
Su Yun smiled and patted his shoulder: "Today is my birthday, you can't give me this look the whole time."
"I'm sorry." He apologized, then handed a gift box he brought to Su Yun, then sat down and looked at the stove for a long time.
"What's wrong? Do you feel anything?" People who play music like him are most likely to be sensitive to other people's emotions. Su Yun naturally had his own intentions when he asked the brothers Jiaju and Jiaxiang, who had been living in a foreign country for many years, to get closer to their family.
"They are genuine and very happy..." Lin Jiashu stared at it for a while, and finally gave this answer reluctantly.
He lost his father at a young age, and had a hard time with family and friendship. It was thanks to his sudden idea to recruit Su Yun that he got to know his current good friends and teammates.
I originally thought that the brothers Jiaju and Jiaxiang came to Japan to study for their music dreams, intending to make a name for themselves in Japan... Unexpectedly, the two brothers always wanted to return to their hometown of Hong Kong after graduation and make a name for themselves in their hometown.
It’s not that I blame them, it’s just that I feel really bad for suddenly losing a good friend who shared the same ideals with me for many years.
"You don't have to be so depressed. The music circles of Hong Kong and Japan have always had some intersections, and the exchanges have become more frequent in recent years. After they come back for a while, they may continue to make music in Japan." Su Yun advised.
The band of the Wong Brothers is also a unique memory of the golden age of Hong Kong music. They persisted despite the poor conditions back then, and now that conditions are better, it is impossible for them to stay in a foreign country to make music.
If Wang Jiaju had not been disappointed with the Hong Kong music scene, which later focused on personal connections and making money but not on creation, and gradually became distorted, he would not have accepted the invitation from Japan and led his band to continue his music career in Japan, which is more tolerant of original music.
"They returned to Hong Kong to inspire the music culture and dreams of Hong Kong." Su Yun looked at him, "Just think of them as being borrowed for a while. After a while or when you need to call them back, are you still afraid that they won't come to find you?"
"Yes, nowadays, Hong Kong and Japan are not that far away." With increasingly convenient means of transportation such as airplanes and cruises, one can cross the entire globe in a short period of time, not to mention China and Japan, which are separated by a narrow strip of water.
After Su Yun's few words enlightened Lin Jiashu on the idea that "a bosom friend is a friend indeed", the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated and he became much brighter.
Looking at the Wang family reunion now, I no longer have the sad and sour feelings I had before. On the contrary, I feel a sense of peace and warmth that comes from empathy.
"I still have to talk to them later. We can't forget our friends even when we return to our hometown. We still have to find opportunities to get together and exchange music together." Lin Jiashu made up his mind.
"Then you can talk to them nicely then - excuse me, I have more guests coming." Su Yun smiled, then stood up and went to the door to greet another group of new guests.
"Mary!" Perhaps children tend to express their emotions more freely than adults who think more. Among the group of guests that came over, the short and shabby David was the first to run towards her.
It looks as cute and funny as a running little duck, a real "rushing duck" GIF.
"Hey, long time no see." Su Yun quickly caught him, and then simply used the leverage technique to relieve the force of his impact, then looked up at the newcomer, "Welcome."
"I have never been able to express my gratitude to you in person for what happened before. So, when Alan came, I quickly adjusted my schedule and came here with David." With his lively son by his side, Romy no longer has to worry about being scared or missing him. He looks a lot more cheerful than before, and his gentle smile shows his former love for his country even more.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm happy as long as you're happy." Romy's Princess Sissi was her childhood dream princess idol. Su Yun always had admiration for her and sincerely hoped that she, who had a miserable life, could live a happy life.
After letting Romy take David to the barbecue, Su Yun accepted the gifts from the other two people. Then she noticed something in Bourne's unnatural movements: "What's wrong?"
"A director wants to remake 'Dorian Gray' and invites me to audition." Bourne thought about it and finally asked his question.
"Oh? What do you think?" He is indeed very suitable for this retro look, but the story of "Dorian Gray" is that Dorian Gray, a young man famous for his handsomeness, vows to exchange his soul for an eternal youth, and then goes to destruction in indulgence - if he wants to get rid of the title of "eternal beautiful boy", it is a bit contrary to the plot.
But if he puts aside the knot in his heart and truly interprets the core of this story perfectly, then this story is extremely suitable to be a reflection of his life journey.
"After these years of training in the troupe, I no longer have any feelings about what happened back then, but..." Bourne hesitated.
"It's just that Helmut Berg is the male lead in the 1970 version of Dorian Gray by Massimo Dalamano." Zarlan added lightly, "Anderson is still too young. If it were me, I would definitely not hesitate to play the role directly and make him angry to death."
Seeing his arrogant look, Su Yun couldn't help laughing: Zha Lan and Bourne were both the male protagonists personally brought up and favored by the great director Visconti, and Berg was Visconti's homosexual lover, so naturally he had set traps for Zha Lan and Bourne out of jealousy many times.
When he was a teenager, the introverted Byrne was ostracized and discriminated against by Berg, who also wanted the role, because he got it in "Death in Venice". Therefore, he still has an inevitable psychological shadow towards the "director's wife" who once made things difficult for him.
As for Zha Lan, who is outgoing and flamboyant, his attitude and approach are completely opposite: as Visconti's favorite muse and white moonlight, he has not only fought with Berg verbally, but also had a real-life PK, so he not only did not lose in this fight, but also won a small victory. He just short of carving the three big words "male green tea" on his face and then showing off in front of him...
It was only after Visconti passed away a few years ago that Berg, deeply devastated by the loss of his beloved, came to an end to the fighting over the years.
"Actually, he hasn't been doing well these past few years. I'll take you to meet him when I have time." Zha Lan has always been a very loyal person. Bourne is half his friend and a junior whom he admires a little, so he took the initiative to offer to help solve the problem.
"Thank you." Bourne gave him a grateful look.
"Okay, let's not talk about work all the time tonight. Let's forget about it for now and spend the night happily!" Su Yun said.
So Zha Lan swaggered over and squatted beside the stove, with a face that looked like she didn't know how to do any housework, and she skillfully skewered the chicken wings.
On the contrary, in Su Yun's heart, Bourne has always loved washing dishes, so she was secretly labeled as "virtuous" - he can even burn a roasted corn!
"My stepfather is a butcher, and I helped kill pigs when I was young, okay?" Facing Su Yun's doubts, Zha Lan looked very confident, "It's just a small job, how could I not be able to do it?"
"Yes, he is a good cook." Romy echoed, recalling, "In the past, he was responsible for cooking and I was responsible for eating."
"What Mommy cooks isn't very tasty..." David added with a frown.
Speechless by the down-to-earth side of these star-studded celebrities in private, Su Yun calmed down and then ran to the door again to receive a new batch of guests.
The people who came this time were Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori, who had just been able to attend the party during their holidays after a long period of scheduling adjustments. Su Yun gave each of them a big hug warmly, and everything was said without words.
Afterwards, Su Yun looked at Zhao Liying with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"I actually like this job very much and don't find it hard." Zhao Liying waved his hands: Apart from the fact that the working environment is not in the Hong Kong that he is familiar with, it is not much different from before.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to return to Hong Kong, maybe I can secretly visit my relatives?
Just as Su Yun and he exchanged glances and understood each other, the driver Sun Shu also drove back from outside and sent a bombshell message: "Miss, several young masters and young ladies from the Zhao family are here with gifts."
