HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 65 [065] A Busy Schedule: On the Power of Hong Kong's Rich Women

Hong Kong media reports: 'Mainland singer Qi Yuan's Cantonese song "Rogue" becomes a hit, dominating Hong Kong radio stations.'

Some roadside newspapers even wrote: 'Is the era of the Four Heavenly Kings really coming to an end? First Richie Jen, then Qi Yuan, their momentum was just too strong.'

Hong Kong Warner Music.

Qi Yuan, who had spent about ten days in the recording studio, was about to get busy.

Holding a schedule, Cheung Ho kept talking: "The movie 'Rogue' wasn't just a hit in Hong Kong, it was a real sensation."

We must strike while the iron is hot, firmly establish ourselves in Hong Kong, and win over the fans of the Four Heavenly Kings.

I've accepted the role for you on TVB's "Jade Solid Gold" program; we'll be recording it next week.

I've also selected a few reliable magazines and newspapers where you can accept exclusive interviews to further expand your influence in Hong Kong.

We need to get moving on to commercial performances; Hong Kong is not like the mainland.

Hong Kong has a developed economy, and many places are relatively safe.

It's 98 already; the big players in the brain-based food industry have long since shifted their focus. They're not fighting and killing anymore.

The notorious thief who kidnapped the son of Hong Kong's richest man in January of this year was arrested in Guangdong Province, mainland China.

Which of Hong Kong's bigwigs is bolder than the King of Thieves? The winds have truly shifted; the era of bribing celebrities with cash and gifts is over.

These days, the bigwigs in the brain-food industry are all incredibly friendly, going to great lengths to distance themselves from the past.

Cheung Ho continued, "A large nightclub opened in Causeway Bay, and the owner offered you HK$300,000 to sing there."

There's also a calendar factory that sells very well and wants to collaborate with you. They're willing to pay HK$800,000 for the rights to your image and print your photo on their calendars..."

Qi Yuan simply snatched the itinerary.

Damn, there are so many! I could run my legs off and still not finish.

But it was worth the effort.

He wants to use the popularity of "The Rogue" to make all the people of Hong Kong remember his face.

Don't let Hong Kong's small size fool you; with a population of just over six million, this small place is incredibly wealthy.

Many people who travel to Hong Kong in later generations have discovered that Chan Ho-nam, the boss of Causeway Bay, actually only manages a few streets and is not as powerful as portrayed in the movies.

It's actually quite impressive. It's only a few streets away, but the income is not low at all. Just from collecting money, it brings in at least several hundred thousand a month.

In the same era, the owner of a factory with a thousand employees in mainland China might not even earn several hundred thousand yuan in profit per month.

Qi Yuan gritted his teeth and accepted all these jobs, thinking that he might as well make money off the big spenders in Hong Kong.

……

after one day.

Qi Yuan appeared at the newly opened nightclub in Causeway Bay.

Causeway Bay may be a small area, but it has a lot of foot traffic.

The newly opened nightclub was packed with customers.

The manager flattered Qi Yuan, saying, "Mr. Qi, many customers came specifically to support you after hearing that you were coming to sing at our store. They were very enthusiastic."

The manager deliberately emphasized the phrase, "They were very enthusiastic."

Qi Yuan looked puzzled: "?"

When he saw the customers in the nightclub, he suddenly realized what was going on.

Depend on!
Most of the customers were middle-aged women, many of whom were dressed in luxurious and extravagant attire.

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered that when he came to Hong Kong in January for a book signing, Zhang Hao told him that there were many wealthy women in Hong Kong who wanted to spend money to treat him to dinner.

Zhang Hao is an honest man; he really didn't deceive anyone. He has so many wealthy female fans in Hong Kong.

Zhang Hao lowered his voice and said, "Calm down, many rich women in Hong Kong like your type. Rumor has it that Aaron Kwok dated some wealthy women in his early years. Another superstar, Lai Ming, always has rich women sitting in the front row at his concerts."

Guo Fucheng and Li Ming are now history; Qi Yuan should be the one to take the stage.

They were both over thirty years old, unlike Qi Yuan, who was not even twenty.

Moreover, Qi Yuan is taller than both of them, has a slightly better appearance, and is also a talented writer, possessing all the qualities that make him attractive to wealthy women.

Many wealthy women in Hong Kong have directly switched sides and become new fans of Qi Yuan.

After Qi Yuan stepped onto the stage, the wealthy women in the audience, dressed in glamorous clothes, all grinned from ear to ear.

He's so handsome, even more handsome than in the music video.

"Thank you for your support, ladies and gentlemen. I will do my best to perform and try to sing as many songs as possible for you."

Qi Yuan held the microphone, the light shining on him, making him look as if he were glowing, a pleasing sight to behold.

This can be seen from the joyful looks in the eyes of the female fans in the audience.

"I don't understand, I don't understand, why can't I let go, why can't I give up this love? You'll never understand..."

"The first time I said I loved you, my breath caught in my throat and my heart trembled uncontrollably. The first time I held your hands, I lost my way and didn't know where to go..."

He sang two songs that are quite popular in Hong Kong, and of course, Qi Yuan's new song "Rogue".

"Why bother with a scoundrel like me? I've lived most of my life and still failed miserably, but you'll never change your mind and will laugh with me even in death. Even if you're bad, I can't bear to secretly cause trouble..."

Each time a song was sung, enthusiastic applause and screams erupted from the audience.

For her last song, Qi Yuan chose the sweet R&B love song "Everyday".

His R&B songs are very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the song "Everyday" is perfect for live interaction.

As is customary, Qi Yuan randomly selected a lucky female audience member to go on stage.

He chose a female fan who was good-looking.

The wealthy women immediately became unhappy: "Why didn't you choose me? I'll order a few more bottles of good wine and have the boss give you the commission."

To be honest, Qi Yuan was actually a little tempted.

But since the choice has already been made, it would be impolite to change the person. It would make him seem like a greedy person who doesn't have principles.

He held the female fan's hand and sang "Everyday" with her face to face, making the wealthy women in the audience extremely envious.

Halfway through the song, Qi Yuan let go of the female fan's hand and interacted with the fans in the audience, which was a small way of taking care of the wealthy female fan's feelings.

A wealthy woman extended her hand, and Qi Yuan took it, just as she sang the lyrics: "I want to say it every day, every day, every day I want to tell you how much I love you, yeah~"

The rich woman's eyes were practically drooling when she looked at Qi Yuan.

Another well-dressed wealthy woman hugged Qi Yuan as they shook hands.

Fortunately, these wealthy female fans were generally well-mannered and did not carry any weapons to attack anyone; they simply hugged them briefly before letting go.

After a performance.

Qi Yuan successfully received a reward of HK$300,000, plus a commission of over HK$73,800 for alcoholic beverages.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but shout in his heart, "I love rich women!"

He didn't invite the wealthy women onto the stage, but only interacted with them up close halfway through his song. They still kept their promise, opening many bottles of expensive wines and specifically requesting that he receive their commission.

The next day.

Hong Kong media reported on the spectacular scene of Qi Yuan's nightclub performance: 'Young people are full of energy, Qi Yuan makes Hong Kong's wealthy women blush and scream.'

'Young people have great stamina; wealthy Hong Kong women are saying they can't keep up.'
