Chapter 424

~5 min read 864 words

The second year, they got absolutely nothing.

The contrast was too obvious!

Su Chen was only twenty-five or twenty-six, far too young.

Moreover, his tall, burly frame resembled a moving small mountain.

His looks were even ridiculously high.

Standing among a group of old men, he truly stood out like a crane among chickens.

Andy walked forward with bright spirits and embraced Su Chen.

"I like you so much; I've been following your work."

"I love listening to your songs and watching your movies."

"I've been your fan since I was a child," Andy teased.

Many Many Xiangjiang artists, in order to open up the mainland market.

would learn to speak Mandarin.

Some indeed learned well and spoke very fluently.

With hardly any accent detectable.

Andy's Mandarin didn't reach a standard level.

But it didn't sound awkward.

People like Louis Koo and Nick Cheung, who learned only the bare surface.

When they spoke Mandarin, it was too unbearable.

It made one's head feel like it would explode.

Facing Andy's teasing, Su Chen fired back a line.

"Brother Andy, don't flatter me to death; I remember listening to your 'Forgotten Love Water' when I was two or three."

Andy was completely stunned, turned to stone on the spot.

"Alright, I admit I lost; I am indeed old."

"Now it's your generation's era! Later, we will collaborate on 'Silence is Golden'."

"I hope that in the future, we will have even more works to collaborate on."

Because Many Xiangjiang films had declined so severely.

Therefore, in recent years, Andy had shifted most of his focus to the mainland market.

Not only did he open a Douyin account, frequently interacting with netizens.

He also collaborated with mainland directors on several films.

In the eyes of all investors, directors, and actors, Su Chen was a sweet, big cake.

Who wouldn't want a bite?

Following closely was Brother Wuying, Zhang Xue.

This was his first meeting with Su Chen.

But they could be considered indirect collaborators.

The theme song of 'Blossoms Shanghai', 'Stealing the Heart', was sung by Zhang Xue.

Among the songs Zhang Xue had sung.

it was considered to have extremely, extremely low popularity.

Pure scraps!

In his entire life, he had sung it only two or three times.

But one 'Blossoms Shanghai' made 'Stealing the Heart' explode across the nation overnight.

One could only say that artistic works are very mysterious.

Some works clearly have high artistic value, yet they simply don't become popular.

Some works are nothing but crap, like Kun Kun's 'Ji Ni Tai Mei'.

Yet their popularity is explosively high.

This 'Stealing the Heart' was clearly a lost gem.

Without doubt, Zhang Xue had the lowest looks and the lowest film achievements among the Four Heavenly Kings.

But in singing, he was purely in a league of his own!

The title of God of Songs, no one could match.

Many people believed that Zhou Dong ranked higher than Zhang Xue.

Mainly because Zhou Dong's songwriting ability was too terrifying.

Speaking purely of Vocal ability.

Even if Zhou Dong drove a Ferrari for ten years, he still couldn't catch up to Zhang Xue.

This was also the common ailment of many Many Xiangjiang music giants of that era.

Zhang Xue, Principal Tan, Leslie Cheung, and Li Keqin, and so on.

Their Vocal ability was one more fierce than the next.

But their songwriting ability was too low.

Half of their songs relied on others to write.

The other half relied on adaptation.

After dealing with these two big shots.

Following closely were Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai, Tony Leung, Nick Cheung, Louis Koo, and Daniel Wu.

The two behind.

Have already become synonymous with top-tier divine looks.

Just like Peng Yuyan.

Only, these two are indeed Shi Shi-level handsome men.

But how did Peng Yuyan climb to this height?

Su Chen truly couldn't figure it out.

Then came Cheng Long and Fat Hong, these two senior and junior brothers.

So many veteran superstars in Many Xiangjiang.

The most dazzling among them is Cheng Long.

Because he is not only a household name domestically.

But also fought his way into Hollywood.

In places all over the globe, including some primitive African tribes.

He possesses a vast number of loyal fans.

This is too terrifying!

Wah Lau, Zhang Xue, and Xing Ye—among the Chinese community, their fame is no less than Cheng Long's.

But looking across Asia, their influence is far weaker.

In Europe, America, or even Africa.

Their fame is as good as non-existent.

Not even on the same level as Cheng Long.

What is most commendable is.

Cheng Long reached this height yet still did not change his nationality.

Unlike other Many Xiangjiang stars.

Who, after earning a little money, ran off to Europe or America and forgot their ancestors.

The last one to come up and embrace Su Chen was Xing Ye.

People say the more comedic an actor is, the lonelier their heart.

They dedicate all their joy to the audience.

Leaving endless emptiness for themselves.

There is indeed truth to that.

Take Guo Dagang as an example.

Don't be fooled by his loud, boisterous demeanor and witty banter on the crosstalk stage.
