Chapter 223 Internal and External Troubles, Troubled Times

Xu Chen and Huang Bo haven't seen each other for a long time.

This time Huang Bo made a cameo appearance in the MV and said he was free of charge. Gao EQ said: "Old Xu, to be honest, I am happy from the bottom of my heart to see you find a wife."

Aren't you happy about his relationship with Xu Chen? It was the middle of winter. He and his wife slept on the kang, and Xu Chen slept next to him. Sometimes they sang all night long. They were afraid that Xu Chen would be cold, so they asked Xu Chen to sleep with his wife. A house.

Really die-hard brothers, to the extent of caring for their wives and children!

Now that the brother has found a wife, the Chinese music industry has invited Leng Tianhou, and Huang Bo is now singing in a bar. With his friendship with Xu Chen and the princess, the price is less than 250/song, so no need to talk!

certainly.

Huang Bo, the little eunuch of the chamber pot, is now pursuing his career and will never be able to sing again in this life.

He set up a bar and called it [Zhengdao Bar], and warmly invited his younger siblings: "Sister-in-law, come and play with Lao Xu then. Zhengdao is the first song Lao Xu gave me."

"Okay." The princess doesn't like talking to strangers, which is strange. She and Huang Bo are very close to each other.

She has very few friends. As long as she can be recognized by her, she is very sincere and generous. Thinking of Huang Bo Bar, she took the initiative to say: "I will take a few friends to play together. Is the wine in your bar expensive?"

The cool diva's friends are about the same as the singing divas, so the bar can't make money every day and make a lot of money.

The chamber pot's little eunuch, Xiao Bozi, smiled so hard that his teeth reached the back of his head. He waved his hand and said boldly: "My concubine can come to my bar to hang out. It's too vulgar to talk about money. Let's drink freely. I'll pay for the drinks as long as I promise."

"Just look for me!" The princess is indeed very fond of Huang Bo. After all, he has a very good relationship with the little milk dog and is his earliest friend.

Ai Wu Ji Wu thought that Huang Bo Bar had just opened and it would be very difficult for funds. Sister La was very happy and said domineeringly: "Does your bar have any card redemption activities? Let's do it. I'll charge 100,000. I have a few friends and they all have it." money!"

"Sister Concubine... No, Sister Concubine, you are really a hero among women~" Huang Bo showed his true qualities as a chamber pot eunuch not even half an hour after he had his name.

Could this be Lao Xu’s happiness? I have to say, he is so happy~

Xu Chen was so crazy that he rolled his eyes.

[Zhengdao Bar], what a bar with such a name, we always want to insist on promoting the true energy. As a result, the little girl was embarrassed and said: "Brother, please sing two songs, my stockings will be torn to pieces."

Complaints are complaints, Huang Bo's wife now serves as the director of the content department of [Time Pictures]. In addition to acting, Huang Bo also invested in bars, and his life is getting better and better.

Xu Chen was very happy about his friend's happiness. In this mood, he seamlessly thought of Sister Huimin who was far away in a foreign country.

By the way, something is wrong with this kid!

[Xiao Sanmen] Such a good opportunity, but this guy was indifferent and didn't add insult to injury. It's not normal, it's so abnormal.

"Old Xu, come, let's have a drink, and wish you and your concubine a successful Japanese and Asian Superstar performance in advance." Huang Bo was very proud to have a brother like Xu Chen.

He is from Qingdao. What the little Japanese did in Qingdao back then was so outrageous that people hated him. The people of Qingdao hated every little Japanese equally.

Xu Chen and the princess were really happy to be able to perform today. They drank a large bottle of beer and grinned: "Old Xu, I also want to wish you a great sales of your new album in June. I have thought about it. When you come back victoriously in June, Xu Chen will have a carnival at the Zhengdao Bar for a month, and we will have a lot of fun then."

"Drinks are free~" Xu Chen touched it. He didn't drink. This time he took a big gulp of wine.

"Drink less~" Queen Qing Leng put her legs together and sat next to the little puppy, seeing that he was drinking quickly and urgently.

He didn't know how to drink at all. He touched Xu Chen with his knee and whispered: "Drink slowly. Drinking too fast is bad for your throat. It's cold at night and you'll catch a cold."

"Well, Sister Concubine is fine. I won't drink anymore." Xu Chen is not obsessed with wine. Sister Concubine is not allowed to drink. It's okay if she doesn't drink.

"So good~" The princess wanted to rub the little puppy's hair again to control her overflowing emotions. She sat close to Xu Chen and they all sat together.

"hiss……"

Huang Bo and Lou Ye made crazy complaints and were really convinced. The two of them really hated it anytime, anywhere, all the time.

The most outrageous thing is that Queen Qing Leng is very doting on Xu Chen, and even perverted to the level of "motherly love". She indulges and accommodates Xu Chen almost without any bottom line.

Xu Chen was unscrupulous, unruly and arrogant. As long as he was unhappy, he would not buy into anyone's fault. As a result, he meekly put away all his thorns in front of the princess, almost becoming a good boy.

Neither Xu Chen nor the princess are the kind of people who care about "how others see me". The things Xu Chen did are shocking to the world.

Guilin, the evening breeze is charming, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the bonfire is burning, exuding warmth and leisure.

Xu Chen thought of the princess's "obsession" and got excited. He coughed and sang acapella: "This time I face it persistently/willfully indulge in it/I don't care if it's wrong/or right/even if I'm trapped/I don't care about anything/"

Lou Ye, Huang Bo, and the crew all listened.

[Perseverance] was released in 1993. It is a classic Wang love song. The lyrics are free and easy about feelings and open-minded about life. I choose what I choose. Even if I am obsessed with it, even if the next step is hell, I will accept and face it calmly.

Xu Chen sang a few lines and looked at the princess with gentle eyes.

The princess has very fair skin, plump cheeks, and is very gentle when she smiles.

Tonight, the cold queen had a great time. She twisted her body excitedly. Her image was completely broken, but she looked playful and cute. Following the rhythmic beat, her head swayed rhythmically.

Blinking her eyes, humming: "Even if it's obsession/I'm obsessed/Others say I should give up/I should open my eyes/I use my heart to see/to feel/You are not me/How can you understand/Even if it's obsession/Let me be obsessed/"

"I'm not as perfect as you think!"

…………

The MV of [Princess] took a week to shoot.

As a song MV, this shooting time can be called abnormal, exquisite and demanding. Xu Chen almost personally controlled the camera and asked to shoot Sister Fei in the most perfect state.

When Wang Jiawei saw Xu Chen, he had to shake his head and said to him: "Little brother, I think it's a bit too extreme for you to shoot a movie."

However,

Wang Jiawei has a say. In the movie Chungking Express, he made the princess look very beautiful. Wang Jiawei has worked with countless movie stars and actresses, and has a lot of victims. The actress he admires the most is actually the layman princess.

It's really weird!

The reporter interviewed the princess about her feelings about filming with Wang Jiawei, and asked her if Wang Jiawei would ask for a lot of things and be very abnormal. As a layman, did she know what the director wanted during the filming?

As a result, the princess's mental state was very stable. She said bluntly: "I don't know, and I don't ask. He often changes, and what he said before is often not counted, so it's useless for me to ask."

Anyway, he will change, and asking is equivalent to asking in vain. This state of rejecting Wang Jiawei's PUA has become the most impressive actress in Wang Jiawei's impression.

It's really weird.

Xu Chen also felt Wang Jiawei's helplessness. Feifei shoots things. She doesn't care whether the effect is good or bad. She is just working.

She filmed whatever Xu Chen asked. When Xu Chen wanted to discuss the play after work, the princess was very rude: "Don't talk about work after get off work, it will be unlucky."

Okay~

As a result, it took seven days to finish the play. The princess couldn't stand it anymore. Like a bird longing for freedom, she flapped her wings and flew away.

In addition to filming, she couldn't stand the constraints. Xu Chen wanted to chisel her every day. After chiseling for a day, she couldn't stand it either.

This thing, in the first two days, he was pestering and making trouble. He could hold back all kinds of strange temptations. After two days of chiseling, he was numb. It was just a pure trip. Hum~

After five days of chiseling, he didn't even want to lie down. He had no desires.

At night, he went to bed secretly. He had to wait until Xu Chen fell asleep. The dog took a bath and lay down. He dreamed of chiseling the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and flooding.

At this time, the princess was looking forward to Gao Yuanyuan coming to Guilin as soon as possible, so that Xu Chen would stop twisting her and quickly find Comrade Xiao Gao to chisel her away.

Gao Yuanyuan participated in the play [Leaving Song].

The story was born out of [You from the Comet]. The story is about an alien who came to the earth during the Han Dynasty and met a girl from a fishing village. The two secretly fell in love.

As a result, the alien had to return to his own planet. Before leaving, the alien confessed to the girl of the fishing village: "I will come back, wait for me."

The alien returned to the earth again, and everything had changed.

There was a full 2,000 years between him and the girl of the fishing village.

[Princess] and [Leaving Song] are both sadomasochism.

For sadomasochism, there is almost a template routine, with crazy sugar in the early stage and crazy knives in the later stage.

[Princess] and [Leaving Song] combine the worldviews of two MVs under this tone. Xu Chen, played by Xu Chen, met Wang Feifei and Gao Yuanyuan at different times and places.

The love between him and her, him and her, is just as touching and deep as the sea. Xu Chen's promise to anyone would hurt the other person.

In fact.

The endings are all tragic. Wang Feifei committed suicide for love, Xu Chenchen committed suicide for love, Gao Yuanyuan stayed alone for a lifetime, died alone in hope and despair.

Xu Chen can imagine that when fans see the MV, they will think of "Xiao Sanmen" and jump up and down excitedly, like a wild civet in a melon field.

Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are very immature.

Fortunately, the fishing village girl is fresh and pure, ignorant and innocent, almost the Han Dynasty version of Gao Yuanyuan. The little girl jumps happily in the river every day.

Yan said that she would choose a heart-shaped pebble to give to Xu Chen, implying that her love for Comrade Xu will last forever and never change.

Xu Chen complained: "Take back your big black bull behavior!"

…………

Early May.

Xu Chen was filming a scene in the crew when he received a message from Zhou Jianbin of Warner. It was very bad news.

Aaron Kwok's new album was selling well. The first-day sales in Hong Kong exceeded 110,000, the first-day sales in Formosa exceeded 180,000, the first-day sales in Southeast Asia exceeded 140,000, and the first-day sales in the Mainland exceeded 230,000...

In Japan and South Korea, the first-day sales of the album were not counted. In the Chinese-speaking regions alone, Aaron Kwok's album sales reached 660,000, which was only 340,000 away from the album's million sales!

It was so terrifying!

Xu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. With Aaron Kwok's album sales, his status was catching up with the God of Songs Jacky Cheung. It was even blunt to say that Aaron Kwok, who was at the bottom of the list, finally ascended to the top of the [Four Heavenly Kings] in 1998.

Aaron Kwok's album was coming in with great momentum, but compared to the other news brought by Zhou Jianbin, Aaron Kwok's album selling well was good news.

"Alas..."

On the phone, Zhou Jianbin was in a bad mood, sighed deeply, and said solemnly: "Mr. Xu, the Southeast Asian fan tour of the concert may have to be terminated. The economic situation in Southeast Asia is not good this year. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei have all been affected..."

"Mr. Zhou, what happened?" Xu Chen's heart skipped a beat. If it was just the economic situation that was not good, Zhou Jianbin would never do this.

"Mr. Xu..." Zhou Jianbin hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said directly: "Our Warner staff went to Indonesia to find Ye Naya. She, she, she died!"

"Mr. Xu, please don't go to Southeast Asia recently. Now the company's album marketing in Southeast Asia has all stopped."

The phone was very silent. Zhou Jianbin paused and sighed: "Mr. Xu, please rest assured. The company has condolences to Miss Ye's relatives. Miss Ye's father said that she was very happy to receive Mr. Xu's reply. She also wrote a letter to Mr. Xu and prepared to give it to Mr. Xu at the concert. Miss Ye's father now asked me to convey that Mr. Xu, we will meet in Japan."

Xu Chen was deeply impressed by Ye Naya. She was the first fan in Southeast Asia. Xu Chen treasured the letters she sent. On the letter paper, the girl painted a cartoon Xu Chen.

A pure, beautiful, enthusiastic and lovely girl in her prime, withered before she bloomed beautifully.

Xu Chen never had much sense of participation in historical events. As an actor in the entertainment industry, he was very taboo about current affairs and politics. He was not allowed to talk about politics, otherwise he would be beheaded.

Now

The current events that he was afraid of were faced directly in front of him in such a cruel and sloppy way. Yenaya was just one person, but there were many Yenayas in Indonesia.

They all had relatives, families, and friends. They had their favorite stars just like us.

"Mr. Zhou, see you in Japan." Xu Chen stared at the dark night sky.

He was not a savior, and he could not save anyone. Even his friend Zhang Rongguo could not save him, so who could he save? This emotion was very uncomfortable. What about the reborn? Nothing could be changed.

"Mr. Xu..." Zhou Jianbin could understand Xu Chen's mood easily. Mr. Xu was a man of character, and he was trustworthy.

He and Yenaya had an appointment to meet at the [concert], but Yenaya suffered a misfortune and died.

Thinking of the tragic situation reported by the Warner staff, Zhou Jianbin was indignant. What a beast, a young girl in her prime, was humiliated by 12 demons, and most of her body was burned.

This inhumane tragedy made everyone indignant.

Xu Chen and Zhou Jianbin talked on and off for a long time.

Xu Chen is in a very troublesome situation in the Southeast Asian market. His albums [Unparalleled in the World] and [Legend] have quite a few songs that promote Chinese culture.

The most troublesome song [Descendants of the Dragon] is sung by Indonesian students and is enthusiastically sought after by Chinese people, which almost directly led to conflicts between Chinese and Indonesian students.

Now.

Although his albums [Legend] and [Unparalleled in the World] are not banned in the Southeast Asian market, the album sales have fallen sharply. Almost overnight, the songs disappeared in the Southeast Asian music scene.

Warner suffered heavy losses just one month after the album was launched. Fortunately, Zhou Jianbin won the internal factional struggle of Warner and eliminated the old people of the UFO faction. However, the European and American Warner Music headquarters ordered Zhou Jianbin to return to the European and American headquarters to report on his work.

Internal and external troubles, it is a troubled time!

"Mr. Xu, now all our hopes are on the new album [Wangshi]. It will be difficult for us to achieve anything in the Southeast Asian music scene in a short time." Zhou Jianbin was almost worried to death.

Warner is the agent of Xu Chen's album "Wang Shi". The mainland market has "Modern Sky". The markets in Hong Kong and Formosa are too small, so they are counting on the Southeast Asian market to recover.

As a result, the Southeast Asian incident affected Xu Chen, and he was blacklisted in the Southeast Asian music scene. It is impossible for his album to be released in the short term. If Warner wants to avoid losses, it can only rely on the Japanese and Korean markets.

Can Xu Chen's new album sell well in the Japanese and Korean markets?

Zhou Jianbin had a big question in his heart. He had no confidence at all. The fierceness of the Japanese and Korean markets and the Chinese-speaking markets was one in the sky and one in the ground.

Can Xu Chen do it?

"Old Zhou, let's meet and talk about this matter. It's hard to explain it over the phone." Xu Chen frowned. He failed in the Southeast Asian music scene and his situation was too passive.

Compared with the precarious situation, Xu Chen was angry and aggrieved about the unfortunate experience of his fan Yenaya. He was holding back a fire in his chest, but he couldn't vent it out.

What can he do? What can he do?
