Chapter 59 Three Kings and One Queen
"What are you doing? Why do you look like the Virgin Mary?" Zhong Zhentu asked with a smile when he saw that the "lady" who sat in the wrong seat turned out to be his old friend.
"It's because male fans are always discriminated against nowadays - female fans are so lucky, they can go on stage to give flowers and kisses to male stars, and they can also go on stage to give flowers and kisses to female stars!" Tan Yunlun looked aggrieved, "For us poor male fans, it's ok that we can't go on stage to give flowers and kisses to female stars, but why can't we go on stage to give flowers and kisses to idols who are also men?"
"Alas, the environment is bad now. If the person going up there is a girl, it can still be handled. But if a strong man goes up there, if something strange happens, we might not be able to save him!" A few years ago, Zhong Zhentu was in a band and sang in a bar, so he naturally knows how scary fans can be when they go crazy.
"Of course I understand this, but I really like Sam..." Sam is Xu Gujie's English name, and most fans and familiar people call him that.
Su Yun, who was standing at the back, touched her chin: It can be seen that Tan Yunlun is really a super fan of Xu Gujie. In order to get close to his idol, he even dressed up as a woman and presented flowers on stage...
Fortunately, he is not the fat boy Lun in the future but the young weak boy Lun. Although he is a little taller than the average height of ordinary women in women's clothes, his boyish appearance with baby fat not completely gone and his dedicated application of makeup and eyebrow painting makes it really difficult to be discovered.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been on standby for such a long time, so that new generation singers like Su Yun could see him in concert after so many years and therefore felt familiar with him, they might have been fooled by his outfit.
Thinking of this, Su Yun, who has a bad taste and likes to collect the black history of various superstars, quickly took the opportunity to secretly take a few more photos of him in women's clothing.
"Stop screaming and cheering in front of that woman. It gives me goosebumps!" Zhong Zhentu crossed his arms and wiped them. Then he called on three friends next to him to hold down Tan Yunlun and forcibly took off the windbreaker dress he was wearing.
Don't worry about the hair. Nowadays, people in the party like to have long or medium-long hair. With this medium-long hair style and a skirt, Tan Yunlun looks like a cute school girl at first glance...
Tan Yun-lun, who had changed from sister to wimp, scratched his messed up hair, looked around and found that there was an empty seat next to him, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where's Danny?"
"Don't mention it. That bastard is his sworn brother - I, his sworn brother, worked hard to get six concert tickets, but that bastard overslept and missed the plane, so he just stayed in San Francisco and didn't come back!" Zhong Zhentu got angry when he talked about this: he and Chen Boyang, whose nickname is Danny, have known each other since childhood and have become sworn brothers. He has always spoiled him and supported him to study music abroad, but at the end of the year, this kid didn't come back!
"It's not the first day you've known him. He just likes to sleep in." Chen Boyang used to often follow Zhong Zhentu to bars and other nightclubs, sit in the audience and watch their band perform. Occasionally, he would help out when the band members were not available to join them. So Tan Yunlun had some impression and love for this well-behaved little brother.
"Just stay in San Francisco. It's a good thing to focus on studies. His electronic piano is really amazing. If he has free time after returning, he can continue to come to our band as a guest performer." said Tan Yunlun.
"What profession did he choose? It's because his mother happened to be traveling there. He has been a skirt boy of his mother all his life. Of course he abandoned me, his adopted brother, and stayed in San Francisco to celebrate the New Year with his mother!" In Cantonese slang, "skirt boy" means a boy who has not grown up mentally. He is like a child who wants to stick to his mother in everything he does. It is roughly equivalent to the word "mama's boy".
So Zhong Zhentu kindly mocked his adopted brother's mama's boy nature.
This is not without reason: two years ago, the government announced the abolition of the Qing Dynasty laws. Before that, people who had married and taken concubines were not restricted, but after that, they had to abide by the monogamy system.
His adopted brother Chen Baiyang was born to the second wife, and his parents divorced not long after he was born, so he had lived with his biological mother in a house outside since he was a child, and only during the Chinese New Year and other festivals would he celebrate the New Year with the people from the first wife's side. Although they had a good relationship with the first wife, because Chen Baiyang was a late-born child, the age gap between him and the older children was a little big, so the older brothers and sisters treated him like a little kid and they couldn't play together very well.
After the divorce, Chen's mother became addicted to traveling to relax and spent most of the year away. Chen Baiyang, who stayed in Hong Kong, was often taken care of by his godmother, who was also Zhong Zhentu's biological mother. Therefore, he spent more time with his godbrother and became more familiar with him.
When Chen Po-yang wanted to study abroad to further his music studies, his parents refused. It was Zhong Zhen-tu who helped him negotiate: Although Chen Po-yang attended St. Paul's Co-educational High School, one of the most prestigious schools in Hong Kong, and his father hoped that he would inherit the family watch business like his older siblings, he was born to be a musician. He could often perform on the keyboard at morning assemblies just by self-study. Zhong Zhen-tu, who also played and loved music, would never let his talent go unnoticed.
The two of them were chatting happily while Xu Gujie was changing clothes during the halftime break. The other three friends beside them sighed: "A Le has gone to the Middle East to do business, what's the point of having a band?"
"We can form a five-member band again. I've even thought of a name for it." Tan Yunlun waved his hands. "We lost the competition and picked up someone else's registration form at the door, so we used the name Losers to continue participating in the competition. Now that I think about it, the name 'losers' is really unlucky."
"I've already thought about it - if we regroup this time, the name of the band will be Wynners, which means winners. I guarantee that we will sing until we are 70 years old!"
Hearing this, Su Yun quickly put away her teasing look: It turned out that this was the birth of the Wynners, and these people were the future Wynners!
This is the advantage of the golden age, there are SSRs everywhere - of course, "Tan Linlin" is a special SP version...
With the thought that "maybe this special edition photo will be useful in the future", Su Yun stepped forward and patted Tan Yunlun who was chatting happily with the others: "Ms. Tan Linlin, you dropped something."
A few people turned around and saw that the person coming was Su Yun, the little girl who had just performed on the stage. They were immediately shocked and huddled together, protecting Tan Yunlun in the innermost circle.
Su Yun was speechless at this ostrich-like attitude of covering one's ears and stealing the bell: "Don't cover it, I saw everything - here, the ID card."
"You won't tell the people over there, will you?" Zhong Zhentu took the ID card, glanced at the muscular security guards on the other side, and asked cautiously.
"I would have said it a long time ago, but when I came here, I saw that 'lady' inside trying so hard to dress as a woman just to get on stage and get close to my foster master - since you have no ill intentions, forget it." Su Yun said generously.
Hearing this, the five people who had been huddled together breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats.
Tan Yunlun quickly pulled Su Yun to sit next to him in the empty seat originally reserved for Chen Baiyang, and begged her in the tone of a crazy fan: "Little sister, can you help me ask your grandfather to get an autograph? I really like him!"
"It's easy to get an autographed photo—" Su Yun stretched out her tone, and then turned to Tan Yunlun's surprised eyes, "But what's the use of getting an autographed photo?"
"You like my adopted grandfather so much, and you are in a band, you should work hard and strive to be on the same stage with him." Su Yun said, glancing at the windbreaker dress casually draped over the armrest, "Instead of relying on pretending to be a woman to get close to him."
"I just love him so much that I want to become a woman to follow him..." Tan Yunlun smiled embarrassedly, then clapped his hands, "You are right, I will not be like this in the future."
If you understand this, then you will have a chance in the future of "Sam and Tam"...
Relying on her identity as Xu Gujie's adopted daughter, she talked to a few people for a while. When she saw Xu Gujie appear on the stage again, Mary Sue, a stamp collector, took their contact information with satisfaction and said that she would send the autographed photos to them.
"Won't you come watch the show with us? We have empty seats here." After getting Su Yun's promise, Tan Yunlun almost treated Su Yun as his own sister.
"My seat is over there." Looking at their row of seats that were almost at the top of the mountain, Su Yun couldn't bear it and pointed to her front row seat.
"There will be opportunities in the future. We will be on the stage..." The five people who were hit comforted themselves and watched Su Yun walk forward with envy and hatred.
The day after Xu Gujie's last concert was New Year's Day. Early in the morning, Su Yun dressed up and went out to visit the Lu Shaolong family and the Xu family who lived in Kowloon Tong to wish a happy new year.
After being so overwhelmed by the red envelopes and delicacies that his steps became heavier, Su Yun finally returned home around noon.
Bored Grandma Su is taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden at home. The weather is good today, and the various bougainvilleas and several bauhinia trees in the garden are in full bloom. When the wind blows, the petals fall down, and it feels like cherry blossoms and snow.
Guangdong and Guangxi are truly the perfect places for bougainvillea, and the elders are basically all professional plant experts. Su Yun, who has always been a plant novice and can only raise a large number of condiments such as ginger, scallions and garlic, was amazed when she saw the bougainvillea flower wall in full bloom in the garden.
"Let's go to Yung Kee to order two roast geese before we go out, and then go to Liyuan for dinner!" Today is New Year's Day, so of course we have to add some extra dishes.
Su Yun just caught Alan Tam, one of the “Three Kings and One Queen”, and indirectly caught Peter Chan yesterday. With the idea of collecting stamps, she started to want to go to Yung Kee to wait for Zhang Querong.
After all, Mei Yanshuang who performed in Liyuan was a foregone conclusion that they would meet. The lack of one Zhang would be enough to drive those with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.
It's holiday in England now, so he should come back, right?
Fortunately, she actually got the chance to squat!
"Why are you dressed like this?" Zhang Querong, who came from a family of tailors and studied textile himself, asked with a smile when he saw Su Yun wearing a hat and sunglasses and looking like a cool little boy.
"Tsk, because I'm a big star now, I have to travel in a low profile." Su Yun raised his finger to his lips and made a click, which made Zhang Querong couldn't help laughing out loud.
He happened to miss Su Yun's famous works in Hong Kong and the United States twice while studying in the UK, so he really thought Su Yun was joking with him.
So, facing Su Yun's question, Zhang Querong was in a playful mood and put on an extremely affectionate look on the spot: "What am I doing here? Of course I am waiting for the most important woman in my life to show up——"
"Bobby, you bastard, you don't even let go of young girls?!" The boss, who had known Zhang Querong for many years and knew that he was a naughty boy and especially liked to flirt with girls, couldn't help but curse with a smile.
"How many times have I told you that I'm going to change my name to Lesley? And you're totally wrong about this! I've always preferred mature women - look, here she comes!" Zhang Querong said this teasingly, then jumped over to pick up the takeaway roast goose, went out and affectionately held the hand of an old lady who was wearing a maid's uniform that was common in the 1960s and 1970s.
Su Yun raised his head and glanced at the two people's backs: This must be the nanny Sixth Sister whom he regards as a family member. No wonder she is said to be the most important woman in his life.
Alas, silly, mummy, monkey, poor little thing - these are the initial attributes of the "three kings and one queen" who made a sensation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s, succeeded at a young age, and pushed the Hong Kong pop music scene into its heyday and glorious period...
...The contrast is quite cute and interesting.
