In Tsuen Wan, Chunlai Tea House, there is a pink signboard with the arrival of new tea, making friends with tea, and a charming boss sits in the hall.
Tea customers come in and out from time to time and ask about all kinds of tea.
The boss will throw out a picture album, including Western tea, Oriental tea and Nanyang tea. For some reasons, there are still many Soviet Russian tea products in Hong Kong recently...
Upstairs, a card table.
The four card-playing men each had a big horse next to them. They were obviously veteran tea friends. These people were also called Lao Pao or Lao Deng in the north...
"Three!"
A croaker card hit the card table with a "slap" and the man with a scar on the corner of his mouth, smugly touched the body of the Yangma next to him.
Maybe it’s just bullying Yangma and not know how to speak Cantonese, otherwise they will definitely beg for mercy: Brother, please play cards well, don’t touch them.
"I heard from people that your account is difficult to collect recently?" said a middle-aged man wearing wide-framed glasses, touching the card, and his hands were naturally not honest.
"Where are you spreading the bill outside? I, Scar, even if I have the courage to borrow my courage, no one dares to rely on..."
"Really or not?" The person on the opposite side laughed and joked.
"Yes, I heard that a gambling gossip was owed millions of gambling debts from you... You don't have the courage to chase..."
"Pick~ You know, she has a celebrity daughter~ Do you know the hottest combination in Hong Kong nowadays...millions...really think I'm opening a good house?"
The scar-skinned man sneered, "Now there is a rich man who offers me 2 million yuan and asks her to drink with him... Her gambling mom doesn't owe much, how can I get it back?"
"Star daughter? Brother... you'd better be very eye-catching. If you can make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry these days, there will definitely be big shots behind you~ Don't get nothing, and make you slutty..."
"I heard that behind this group is the big boss's ancestor... Such actresses are usually the big boss's X-boy~~~Tsk tsk... Just be careful."
"It is natural to pay back the debt? Is his boss Zu really bullying the market? He is not afraid of wearing shoes at barefoot..."
The scar man choked with his neck, and then his voice became weak, "Boss is a bit like this? Big Boss can't be unreasonable, right? They are all people in the Tao, and the rules of the world still have to be followed... Besides, there are so many companies in his company.
Stars, do he have to take care of them? If he really cares, he wouldn’t owe millions and he doesn’t have the strength to pay them back... That star’s daughter always pays them back tens of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars every time..."
At this time, a yellow-haired young and gangster walked up with her big brother covering her, and opened her mouth and said, "Boss~ That goblin lost more than 2 million... Do you want to lend her?"
The other three hugged the foreign girl beside them, glanced at the scar man with a slanted eyes and smiled.
"...Fuck! Borrow, why not borrow?"
The scar man gritted his teeth and scolded, "Tell the March 8th that if she was willing to let her daughter come out for a commercial performance, I will give her the price at 2 times the market price..."
At the end, he comforted himself, "We are also businessmen~ This is all legitimate bidding, and it is natural."
"Of course."
"That's ~ no one can tell..."
"That's right, that's it."
The three of them smiled and agreed immediately. As for what they thought, no one knew.
…
In Whampoa New Estate, Hong Kong Island, Whampoa Media hurriedly ran to the rental house, full of panic.
"mom?"
Born with a beautiful appearance, Cai Shaoyan looks like he walked out of a comic, with thin eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips, white teeth, and slanted bangs of the air that make him full of energy. The cream can be broken and pure and charming.
A simple pink shirt is paired with light-colored ripped tight jeans, and a pair of I·T-made canvas shoes under her feet.
Many people look very tacky when wearing pink. She looks particularly good-looking and looks full of aura when wearing it.
Huang Sumei looked at her daughter standing inside the door, holding a dirty linen in her hand, and her eyebrows were panicked.
"Afen, you are back...that...have you eaten? Do you want to cook for you..."
"No need, I've eaten at the company. I happened to be resting today and I went home. By the way, I brought you a gift. A few days ago, I shot advertisements for several brands, and they gave me a lot of products...
There are skin care products and health care products here... Now, this Australian deep-sea fish oil is very good for the body..."
Cai Shaoyan took out a bottle of fish oil full of English name from the bag and handed it to Cai's mother, "This is also the gift brought by Huahua from Goryeo... the gift brought by spring water from Japan..." He raised his head, but the other party seemed absent-minded
Looks like.
"Mom? Mom, are you listening?"
"Hmm? Oh..." Huang Sumai smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "Afen, that...you know, I have never been in good health."
"Is it still a headache?" Cai Shaoyan was concerned.
"Yes, yes... I hurt my head every time..."
Huang Sumu covered his forehead and hummed. When she saw her daughter caring, her eyes turned, "It's all an old problem. The doctors told me to be hospitalized for recuperation, but I think it's better to forget it... a waste of money.
”
"Of course I need to treat if I am sick." Cai Shaoyan turned around, picked up his schoolbag, and looked out his wallet, "I have saved more than 50,000 yuan in the past few months, and I have a credit card that the company has applied for me..."
Seeing the other party turn back, Huang Sumi quickly shrank his eyes and continued to pretend to have a headache.
"I don't usually use much money, including food, accommodation and decoration fees. Qi Ye said that although we debuted as artists and couldn't go to school, we couldn't be without education... He also hired a cultural teacher to teach him
Our culture class... Then, mom, you can take these first... I'm trying to figure out a solution." Cai Shaoyan handed the money and card to his mother.
"this……"
"Hold it, I know you usually spend money." Cai Shaoyan simply stuffed the money and the jam into the other party's hands.
"By the way, I packed lunch from the company, I'll warm it up for you..."
In the cramped and narrow room, I clearly saw Cai Shaoyan going to the hot rice. Huang Suji looked out the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at her graceful and beautiful daughter, those loan sharks kept lingering in her mind.
'You have a big star's daughter, and it's unreasonable not to borrow it? It's natural for a daughter to support her mother~ Can't the big star's mother even pay out this little money?'
'In fact, you don't have to work so hard~ You can easily use your daughter's name, and you will be rich and delicious, and you will be very popular...'
'Do you know how many big bosses like to invite big stars to dinner? You don't have to take it seriously... Which celebrity doesn't want to socialize now? Just socialize yourself?'
‘Can female celebrities be a lifelong life? Celebrities are a food for youth. Of course, they should find a long-term meal ticket for their daughter while they are young and beautiful!’
‘Look at how many actresses marry into wealthy families? You know that this opportunity is hard-earned now... You are paving the way for your daughter!’
Just as Huang Sumei was fighting in her mind, Cai Shaoyan walked out with a roast goose and shrimp dumplings, and smiled and signaled the food in her hand.
"Mom has eaten—"
...
"Eat? Xingxing Entertainment is destroying everyone's job!!!
At that time, because of the Cantonese song trend, the recording industry took off after the 1970s. I still remember Xu Guanjie's "Half-Take-Eight Taste", which sold 500,000 copies in Hong Kong alone! After 3 hours of release, pirated copies appeared. At that time, the market was at the time.
A popular saying, "One pound is enough, you have to grab it if you sell it!"
Unlimited scenery!
Then, a few years ago, we all launched our own people and counted them down. Every year, we all ate a lot of food!
We have created a situation where Tan and Zhang compete for hegemony. Not to mention dominating the local market, even the entire Southeast Asia will take all!
What about now??
Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guoyan, and Mei Yanfang have all begun to slowly fade into their identity in the music industry, and Danny is also surviving!
The entire Hong Kong market is filled with Wang Jie, Qi Qin, Zhou Huajian, and Tong Ange... In the long run, we might as well drink the northwest wind!
As our own people, what are they doing? They actually joined hands with the Rolling Stone to release films... Will the UFO come tomorrow, and we will all surrender directly? "Chen Shaobao, the former president of Xinyibao Records, slapped the table
shouting.
Most of the people present were members of the Hong Kong IFPI Recording Association, and the one sitting in the first place was Zheng Donghan. These people were all the "talks" of record companies of Hong Kong Island.
Wang Zuxian released a record, but everyone didn't care much, even though the other party shouted slogans loudly.
However, as the first main song swept the Hong Kong music scene, the album promotion and distribution were overwhelming, many people were anxious.
Before this, they really didn't take Wang Zuxian seriously.
However, the Rolling Stones entered the market together, which undoubtedly leveraged the interests of many people.
In history, the time when Tan Zhang, Mei Yanfang and others gradually withdrew from the music scene was exactly the time when the Hong Kong music scene was in short supply. At this time, the UFO and the Rolling Stones brought singers directly to Hong Kong Island, and the records were sold!
Not only does it mean to seize their living space, it is even shaking their foundation.
Why did the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" appear later? Isn't it just to fight against the music trend of Wanwan? Without the support of a large company, you can tell by looking at Li Keqin. He was still squeezed out of his position by Aaron Kwok who came back later.
!
The reason they were so angry was all because of a piece of news.
The newspaper on the table printed the title "Star Rolling Stones Jointly Established a New Company, Chen Jiantian becomes the Head of the New Company!"
Hong Kong Island Records is basically the most powerful company in Asia. Of course, except for the Japanese market...
Before this, they were called the wind and rain.
