Chapter 40: Zhang Tianshuo

There is an endless stream of people who eat, drink, whore, gamble, and smoke in the entertainment industry; just talking about the black ones, this Zhang Tianshuo counts as one.

As early as 1995, Mei Yanfang held a concert in Beiping, and Zhang Tianshuo, who was a rock boss in the mainland at the time, was extremely unhappy.

Because this group of crossing-the-river dragons didn't know the rules; how could they come to Beiping for a concert without first worshiping the pier of Master Zhang?

How could the rock old gun be easy to deal with? He gathered his fangs and attacked, threatening to damage equipment and obstruct activities. Mei Yanfang had no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Later, Master Zhang went to Xiangjiang to participate in activities, and Chen Yaoxing, who had a deep friendship with Mei Yanfang, caught him and prepared to process him.

Zhang Tianshuo found a middleman with great energy to speak for him, and the matter ended with an apology and compensation.

Chen Yaoxing is the prototype of Chen Haonan.

However, holding a concert in Beiping meant that one must use Master Zhang's sound equipment, lighting, stage art, and security ticketing, which had become an invisible rule; there were far more than just Mei Yanfang who had suffered losses by clashing with this local snake.

Jackie Chan, Wong Ka Kui, Andy Lau, Liu Jialiang, etc...

It can be said that there was no one he dared not blackmail!

The Master Zhang of 2002 had basically withdrawn from the rock circle and went into business.

Fan Bingbing's face turned pale; she knew this person's composition, and neither wanted to befriend him nor offend him.

Seeing him insult Lu Kuan with foul language, she didn't know how to speak to mediate for a while.

How could Boss Lu endure this anger: "Zhang Tianshuo, is your home in Dunhuang?"

The latter looked at the smiling little white face and was stunned for a few seconds, not understanding his brain hole.

"Don't understand! Don't joke with me, Master."

"Too much bullshit!"

Fan Bingbing and Zhou Xun laughed out loud, and the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but laugh.

Gao Yuanyuan frowned and looked at Lu Kuan, who was speaking foul language; she didn't like this type very much; her favorite was the extreme literary youth style like Zhang Yadong.

Master Zhang's fat face, which looked like the surface of the moon, shook, and he picked up the wine bottle beside him and rushed over.

"Hey! Hey! Master Zhang, calm down, we are all our own people, don't move roughly!"

Zhang Yadong, no matter how wooden he was, knew to come out to turn things around at this time; he was familiar with Dou Wei, and Dou Wei and Zhang Tianshuo were iron buddies, so they had some friendship after coming and going.

Zhang Tianshuo looked at the more and more onlookers and bit his back teeth; with his current status in the rivers and lakes, doing it casually would lose his status.

"What's the matter, coming to the bar not to drink but to fight? Let me see who?"

A middle-aged man in a white suit with a refined and ruffian style walked over; this was Li Hengli, the boss of 88.

"Yo! Master Zhang, you've arrived!"

Zhang Tianshuo shook hands with him, his cold face relaxed a bit, looking generous: "Little white face, country bumpkin, I won't be the same as you."

"Don't come to the bar next time, and still talk big about writing songs; what do you know about rock and roll!"

Zhou Xun couldn't stand it anymore; Lu Kuan was called by her, and with her current status, she couldn't just let people slap her own people in the face.

"Master Zhang is going too far, why be so aggressive when we don't know each other?"

She was somewhat indignant at the other party's domineering; once upon a time, she, who sang in bars in the capital, had also had a tooth knocked out by a rude customer.

Fan Bingbing didn't know why she trusted the sense of security brought by Lu Kuan beside her, and also helped: "Thank you, Master Zhang, don't bother with the song."

This could be considered to have lit the fire; there was no woman Zhang Tianshuo had taken a fancy to that he hadn't succeeded in getting; the near ones like Sitar Tan, the far ones like the later Zhou Haimei were all his prey.

"Okay, kid, know that hiding behind a woman is safe, right?"

Zhang Tianshuo suddenly asked: "Boss Li, how many tickets were collected in the dance floor today?"

"More than four hundred."

He immediately turned to Lu Kuan: "Like this, aren't you good at writing songs? Then please show us your so-called original rock and roll?"

"88 has flower baskets; the VIPs on the second floor don't count, and there are only four hundred people in the lobby downstairs; if there can be 150 flower baskets on the scene today, I, Zhang Tianshuo, will be convinced."

"If not, I won't say I'm bullying people; you drink this bottle of whiskey yourself."

This was the practice of bars and dance halls in the early years.

100 yuan for a flower basket, the singer and the bar split it in half, just like the yachts and planes in the live broadcast room now.

Lu Kuan sneered: "Who the fuck are you? You say sing and I sing?"

Zhang Tianshuo didn't care whether he sang or not; the purpose of picking up women to seek attention and exposing the incompetence of the little white face had been achieved.

He had been listening in the booth next door for a while; this little white face stated that he was a Beijing Film Academy art examinee this year.

He was not from a music major, and he had to contact Zhang Yadong through Zhou Xun; obviously, he was not an insider.

Boss Lu was still poisonous, intentionally teasing him: "How about this, today is Boss Li's territory, let's have a civilized bet with songs."

"150 flower baskets, right? If I don't reach what you said, what if I reach it?"

Zhang Tianshuo didn't look at it at all, pretending to be generous: "Whatever you want."

Lu Kuan raised an eyebrow: "That's good! When the time comes, you take the microphone and shout yourself: I, Zhang Tianshuo, am a big ugly monster!"

The onlookers laughed again, not for anything else, but because there was a meme in it.

As early as 2001, NetEase held an activity to select the top ten ugly stars in the domestic entertainment industry, and this Master Zhang ranked third.

In a rage, Zhang Tianshuo had been sparing no effort to sue NetEase for infringing on his right to reputation and portrait rights, which had been fruitless so far.

"Go to your mother's, do you really think I dare not do it?"

The local snake, who was fierce in appearance but weak in reality, picked up the wine bottle again; of course, he dared to do it in a small alley, but he still had some sense in public.

Li Hengli was a man of the scene, hurriedly stopped him and gave him a step down.

"Since you have decided to make friends with songs, don't engage in fighting; how about this, I have a proposal!"

"First, please invite our Master Zhang, who hasn't been out of the mountains for a long time, to sing a classic *Friends* for everyone."

"Later, we invite this little brother to show his talent, how about it?"

The fun-seekers had no objections; they only felt that this meal of wine was not in vain, and the excitement was seen to the fullest.

Zhang Tianshuo went to the stage on the first floor under the flattery of a group of followers and began his performance; Lu Kuan lay on the sofa as if nothing had happened, drinking wine by himself.

"Little Lu, should we withdraw?"

Zhou Xun had mixed in the field in the early years and knew that these local snakes and ruffians loved to bully people, and they wouldn't let him go easily later.

She naturally wouldn't think that Lu Kuan could write a rock song in ten minutes.

Fan Bingbing also decisively picked up her coat: "This person doesn't walk the right path; even a son of a thousand gold doesn't sit in a dangerous hall; Boss Lu, don't bother with him."

The team was very well-stood today; Lu Kuan came for her business, and was far more reliable and decent than Zhang Tianshuo.

What's more, she had known Lu Kuan's relationship with Zhang Jizhong and Mei Yanfang early on, so she naturally had to support him unswervingly.

Adversity reveals true feelings; now is the time for her to show loyalty and invest in feelings; she could already vaguely see the spirit of Fan Ye in the future.

Zhang Yadong hung up the phone and came back from the stairs with Gao Yuanyuan, his brows locked.

"Just called Dou Wei and didn't answer; I'm thinking about who else I can find to mediate."

Lu Kuan toasted Zhou Xun generously and waved his hand: "No need, I eat everything, but I just won't suffer a loss; please ask Yadong to help me polish it later."

Gao Yuanyuan was a bit suspicious of the authenticity of this little god; if he could calculate this scene tonight in advance, why would he let himself fall into such an awkward situation.

But hearing him say this, could it be that he was already full of confidence?
