A grand feast for the Chinese entertainment industry

Chapter 42 Pig

The paparazzi in Hong Kong had already noticed something was wrong.

Not only did Huang Zhan and Leslie Cheung suddenly come to EMI Records, but a large number of singers from the famous Rock Records in Taiwan also suddenly moved into EMI's recording studios. Even people like Tsui Hark and Brigitte Lin, who clearly had little to do with music, suddenly came over as well.

Of course, most importantly, in the past two days, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, media industry, and record industry have been discussing the three shocking records of "Cold to the End," and have been frequently reporting and discussing them: the first diamond album in Chinese music, the first album in Hong Kong to break 70 sales with a ceiling record of 76 copies, and the possibility that Taiwan will see the first album in history to sell two million copies.

Lin Jianlu suddenly arrived in Ganggang at this time and went to Baidai!
Even Chen Shuhua, who is widely discussed among Taiwanese people, and Liang Yongqi, who is widely discussed among Hong Kong people, both went...

Initially, there were rumors that Rolling Stone might acquire EMI, but this claim was dismissed by the paparazzi themselves within hours. Subsequently, well-informed paparazzi obtained accurate information—they were recording a song!

After another day of waiting, many singers and celebrities who were not affiliated with EMI began to emerge one after another, and paparazzi and reporters immediately swarmed around them.

"Lu Zai's song is absolutely fantastic! I'm so honored that he invited me to participate in the recording! It gave me so much encouragement and energy. Thank you, next time I invite him to play cards, I won't win any money from him, haha!"

"Awesome! Great song!"

"I was just helping out. My buddy!"

"Ah Lu's creative talent has always been top-notch. This song is top-notch."

"Yes, to mourn... uh, we are very grateful that Lu Zai invited us... for Ka Kui!"

"Yes, I asked him to write a song for me, and he agreed. We're waiting, haha! But I don't think it'll be long. He writes songs incredibly fast; we've seen him write a song in ten minutes and compose lyrics in three minutes. Wow..."

"Fantastic! A fantastic experience! An absolutely wonderful piece!"

Overnight, the whole of Hong Kong knew.

When Duan Zhongtan was interviewed, he quickly denied the rumors but then confirmed that it was not a new album. It was a very inspirational classical rock song that would be included in the multi-million dollar celebration edition along with "Cold to the End Video".

It's a gift for the fans.

…………

The outside world is noisy and chaotic, but Lin Jianlu doesn't care.

He slept soundly, woke up, exercised, and then ate. After eating, he planned to go play cards with Leslie Cheung, but the timing was perfect. Just as he finished getting ready, Leung Wing-ki called, "Ah Lu, I still have to record today, but I'm having trouble finding my rhythm. The producer keeps yelling at me. Can you help me out?"

Hmm, the taste is off.

She's inexplicably a little coquettish.

After the initial excitement subsided, Lin Jianlu realized that kissing this girl and that girl in front of so many people was indeed inappropriate. Although he himself might not have thought anything of it, the girls must have been concerned. He wasn't stupid, nor was he emotionally insensitive. How could he not sense the girls' affection and signals?

As a result, he kissed four people on the spot yesterday. Ha, how audacious!
This is not good!

Of course, none of them objected.

But Liang Yongqi's phone call was a bit strange: "Have you eaten too much candy? Chocolate?"

"Huh? No!"

"Then why do you talk so sweetly!"

"Pfft... No way!... Please help me!"

She was still acting coquettishly. Lin Jianlu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed inwardly.

Okay, let's stop playing cards and go.

However... in reality, his Cantonese is very poor, so he wouldn't be of much help even if he went.

But it's okay, as long as he's here.

Leung Wing-ki seemed exceptionally happy, and the recording went surprisingly smoothly.

That evening, she went along too—drinking heavily. In addition to the singers, musicians, and recording engineers who participated in the recording of "Gift," many of Lin Jianlu's friends from Hong Kong also came, making it a lively occasion.

Even Rosamund Kwan came over, and she and Lin Jianlu actually chatted for quite a while—which was quite surprising!
Liang Yongqi's face was tense.

Although in her opinion, Rosamund Kwan is already very old, over thirty years old, Leung Wing-ki still has to admit that she is stunningly beautiful and outshines all of Hong Kong!
If we go back ten years, she and Brigitte Lin were truly the pinnacle of beauty in the Chinese-language entertainment industry!
Brigitte Lin is now showing signs of aging, over forty, but Rosamund Kwan remains at the peak of her beauty. She's still stunningly beautiful in Hong Kong!

…………

He downed glass after glass of Rémy Martin.

Dominating the entire field.

In the end, no one knew how much Lin Jianlu had drunk. If the party that Rock Records hosted in Taiwan was a celebration by Rock Records and he was just there as a mascot, then today, in his own opinion, was the day he finally and completely finished all the work on "Cold to the End".

We can finally have a holiday! It's something to celebrate.

More than twenty people died from drinking.

By the end, Lin Jianlu actually felt okay, a little tipsy, but not quite drunk. However, after seeing everyone off, when he got in the car and swayed all the way back to the hotel, he felt even more dizzy when he got out of the car.

He knew he should get completely drunk.

I quickly went back to my room.

He didn't brush his teeth, didn't take a shower, and went to sleep with his shoes off. He slept soundly through the night without any dreams, until a little after six o'clock. His biological clock naturally woke him up. He lay in bed for a while, feeling a slight headache from the hangover, but otherwise he was fine. He even clearly remembered how he got back to his room last night.

However, it was because he remembered everything that he suddenly came to his senses and realized that right beside him was a soft breath.

The room was still pitch black, so he propped himself up and leaned closer to look.

It was Chen Shuhua's recently planned to grow her hair into a medium-length style—he did remember that she had taken him back to his room last night, but the problem was, once he lay down on the bed, he remembered nothing at all.

Fortunately, both of them were fully clothed.

A moment later, he quietly got out of bed. Not wanting to take off his clothes outside, he went into the spacious bathroom to undress.

Brush your teeth first, then take a shower.

The cold water quickly revitalized me.

However, when he changed into clean clothes and came out, he found that the bed was empty.

I called her, but she hung up on me immediately.

Lin Jianlu refused to give up, and kept hitting, getting hung up, hitting again, and finally caught the ball.

But before Lin Jianlu could ask, she began, "I know what you want to ask, but please don't. Please, please don't ask me about this!"

The more she said that, the more Lin Jianlu felt there was something going on. "What do you mean by 'please, please'? You slept in my bed all night, ma'am, don't you want to settle the bed fee? You're leaving already?"

She burst out laughing. "Please, please, can you not mention it again?"

Okay, now Lin Jianlu is even more certain that she must have done something last night.

She was too naive, and they were too familiar with each other.

"Did you secretly put a love potion on me?"

"Pfft...no, that's not it..."

"You wouldn't be... Hey, you're not that perverted, are you?"

"You're the one who's lecherous!... Hahaha..."

After being questioned for a while, she finally couldn't hold back anymore. Laughing uncontrollably, she said haltingly, "I read in those novels that men get all lustful after drinking, so I... I lay down next to you and watched you. I waited for over an hour, and you were sleeping like a log. I was so sleepy, and then I just fell asleep without realizing it... Hahaha..."

"..."

***
Twenty days have passed since I published the book, and looking back, it has reached 120,000 to 130,000 words. So, people still need to keep working. It's pointless to always think that this beginning is bad or that beginning is bad. Just publish it, write, write, write. Whether it's good or bad, let the readers judge.

There will be flaws and shortcomings, but there will certainly be some commendable aspects. There's really no need for self-doubt.

Thank you to everyone who made it this far!
There are less than ten days left on the new book chart, so I'm asking for a few more monthly votes!
