Huayu 1995

Chapter 43 Serious Advertisement

Coconut trees.

Holy crap, when filming their ads, you'd have to be down to nothing but your underwear!

When Su Chao thought of the coconut tree advertisements he would recognize in the future, he felt that he could no longer maintain his integrity.

He never dares to expose his upper body when he goes to sing karaoke, for fear that a rich woman will be attracted to his physique and insist on giving him a Mercedes-Benz S600.

"Yes, it's a big brand. Although the price they offered was a bit low, only... a thousand yuan, I think it's definitely a good opportunity for you, so I recommended you to them."

Zhang Guoli originally intended to say five hundred yuan.

But considering that Su Chao is now singing in bars, 500 yuan is really not enough to give.

So he changed his mind at the last minute and said a thousand.

"Price doesn't matter. With Teacher Zhang helping me make a decision, I'm sure I won't lose out. My main question is, when shooting this kind of advertisement, is it okay to... wear clothes?"

Su Chao asked cautiously.

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Zhang Guoli choked, he was both amused and exasperated, and while coughing, he hoarsely shouted:

"That's an advertisement that's going to be broadcast on TV and shown to the whole country! What are you thinking? What's wrong with young people these days... Holy crap!"

Am I too old to keep up with the times?

Or perhaps Su Chao has seen some rather unusual commercial shoots; I wonder if I could lend him one to critique?

"Hehe, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Su Chao chuckled twice, no longer objecting to participating in the advertisement shoot.

A thousand yuan is not bad either.

Prices ranging from 500 to 3,000 are considered normal for casual buyers.

Even if Zhang Guoli manages to pocket some of the profits, that's his own skill.

"There's also a soap commercial. I don't know if you'd be willing to do it. It's not as outrageous as you think. It's just showing your arm at most."

Su Chao seemed quite resistant to nudity just now, and Zhang Guoli didn't know if Su Chao was willing to accept it.

"Soap?"

People from later generations who traveled through time are very sensitive to soap.

He couldn't help but think of a GIF.

Two people are taking a shower in the bathroom. When the soap falls on the floor and one person bends down to pick it up, they might be turning their backside towards the other person.

Bro, can you help me pick this up?
Bro, it's your turn to pick up the soap, hehehe...

"Yeah, that's right... a proper advertisement, the kind that's going to be on TV. Damn, why did I emphasize 'proper'? You've completely misled me."

Zhang Guoli rubbed his forehead.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang, I'm fine!"

Su Chao decided he couldn't talk nonsense anymore.

He discovered that although his alcohol tolerance was quite good, if he drank too much, he would lose the caution he was usually so proud of.

He wasn't familiar with Zhang Guoli, and it was obvious he was joking around too much.

"This is also 1,000 yuan. In addition, a music video is also being arranged. The cost of the music video has been greatly reduced. I'll give you 500 yuan for each one you shoot. Do you have any problems?"

Zhang Guoli was only thinking about ending the conversation as soon as possible.

His wife is still waiting in the car.

My wife is so beautiful; I can't even imagine what might happen if the driver acts impulsively.

Damn it, this guy has corrupted my mind.

"No problem, this is my pager number, feel free to contact me anytime."

Su Chao gave his pager number.

"It should be arranged in the next couple of days, preferably with both commercials filmed together... Okay, I've got it written down. I'll be going now, I'll pay for the tea..."

Zhang Guoli had no intention of staying to have a deeper discussion with Su Chao.

The two of them were from completely different worlds.

"Please take care..."

Su Chao stood up and watched the other person leave.

He didn't rush to leave. He enjoyed the cool air conditioning for a while and reviewed what he had gained in the past few days.

He had three days' worth of earnings from his residency in his pocket.

Other income is negligible, even insufficient to cover expenses, barely enough to cover food and drink.

Although I don't know how much "The Moon Caused the Trouble" is worth in the system store, it's necessary to prepare 50,000 yuan.

Raising the remaining 40,000 yuan in just half a month, even if it meant singing at a venue every day, was no easy task.

Fortunately, his training courses were launched.

Someone should come to pay the fee tomorrow, and he can use the money freely without any psychological pressure.

If there are ten students, that's 30,000 yuan.

Just a few more visits to karaoke bars and I'll have raised the 50,000 yuan easily.

If there are twenty students, Su Chao can consider buying two songs at once.

As for whether Zhang Yu's future career will be affected by being taken advantage of by Su Chao, that's none of Su Chao's business; he's not a very moral person to begin with.

As long as he lacks morality, no one can morally blackmail him.

The training course is about to be completed. Once it's finished, it will be handed over to Lü Bu and Guo Xiaodong to manage, since Duan Yihong, He Bing, Huang Bo, and others will be teaching the courses.

Lin Zhimeng also taught vocal music.

Su Chao only occasionally teaches a short skit class to his students.

The advantage lies with me~
There aren't many things that the principal needs to do personally.

Next, he will work to earn money while collecting songs, and try to release an album by the end of the year.

At the same time, we should try our best to find a decent role.

You can't keep playing minor roles forever.

Someone as awesome as him would never actually spend several years playing minor roles.

There's one more thing we can't forget.

We need to get more photos to hang on the wall.

One day in the future, what he can hang on the wall will be the medals of honor of entertainment stars.

Most people aren't qualified to have their photos displayed on the wall.

Su Chao returned to the courtyard. It was already late, but the courtyard was bustling with activity, clearly indicating that everyone was still awake.

"Why can't we hang our clothes out to dry? Don't forget, we're residents too..."

"You won't be naked even if you skip one day of drying."

The landlady is standing on this side of the training class this time.

There was nothing he could do, so Su Chao not only rented two rooms from her, but also paid her a customer service salary of 100 yuan.

They gave way too much.

Besides, if someone is opening a training course tomorrow and you hang up a bunch of colorful clothes, wouldn't that just be an eyesore for them?
After listening to a few words, Su Chao immediately understood what had happened.

It's no wonder that other tenants protested.

The day before yesterday, we were making everyone move out of the house; yesterday, we were building the toilet with all the clatter and clanging; and now we're forbidding everyone from hanging out their clothes to dry tomorrow.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Su Chao squeezed through and then clapped his hands.

Once everyone's attention was drawn, he said loudly:

"We're sorry our training course has disturbed everyone. We'll try our best to be more considerate..."

"What's the point of you paying attention? These people in the training class sing and practice their voices in the morning, and then they come and go to classes all day. Who can guarantee their character?"

Anyone who has experience with training courses would immediately criticize him.

The scene immediately erupted into another commotion.

Yes, with so many people coming and going in such a chaotic way, what if someone breaks into their house and steals something?

The landlady immediately became a little anxious.

She can definitely help keep an eye out at the convenience store and make sure those students don't wander into other rooms.

She was about to explain when Lu Bula pulled her aside.

The three sex slaves shook their heads at her, signaling her not to speak.

"Who can guarantee that? We can only ask everyone to be understanding. It's not easy for anyone to make a living!"

Su Chao, ever the jerk, added fuel to the fire.

"Damn, you guys made money and you still say it wasn't easy? I've heard that you charged them three thousand yuan."

The person who had spoken earlier immediately confronted him, their tone sarcastic.

Others present also protested when they heard that a student could receive three thousand.

“Three thousand yuan seems like a lot, but do you know what we need to do? We still have to rent a place, pay salaries, and make arrangements for various things. Most importantly, hiring a teacher costs several thousand yuan. We need to hire five or six. If we have more students, we can do a little better than working on a construction site. If we have fewer students, we won't even make back our costs…”

Su Chao's greatest skill is deceiving people.

The veracity of his words is unverifiable, but his tone was very persuasive.

"That doesn't mean we can't hang our clothes out to dry. You'll be in class every day from now on, does that mean we can't hang our clothes out to dry?"

This is indeed a big problem.

It's not that everyone is deliberately nitpicking, but how can you not let people hang their clothes to dry on such a hot day?

The landlady had previously said that when she was teaching during the day, the tenants in the courtyard should not disturb her.

So they're going to hide!

Damn, this is absolutely outrageous!
"It's not that we don't allow you to hang your clothes out to dry, it's just that you can hang them out for a shorter period during the day. We don't have classes every day, and if you're not living here... you can move out!"

Su Chao gave Lü Bu a look.

"Brother Chao, don't be like this. Everyone has their own difficulties."

After calming down the landlady, Lü Bu began to work together with Su Chao.

“I tried to talk to them nicely, but they ignored me. Believe me or not, I’ll get Duan Ming and the others over here.”

Su Chao randomly picked someone to join the discussion.

"Hiss, Duan Ming? That guy has several lives on his hands. What do you want with him? It's not that serious!"

Lu Bu winked at Su Chao, "Not bad, right?"

It's just a pity for Duan Ming. He's just a small-time hoodlum who doesn't even dare to sharpen his knife when he tries to kill someone.

He inexplicably took the blame for several deaths.
