Chapter 54: People from the capital are in Hong Kong
Brother Zhang Guorong is an avid fan of the Chinese quintessence and loves to play mahjong. He once played mahjong with his friends for seven days and seven nights. He even held a "Guorong Cup" mahjong competition, inviting his friends to participate, and finally gave everyone a prize.
Trophies and bonuses.
In Leslie Cheung's movies, clips of him playing mahjong appeared many times. It is said that the clip of Zhang Guorong playing mahjong in "92 Happy Events" made the entire crew laugh.
Zhang Guorong is famous for his good popularity in the industry, and many people in the industry are his poker friends.
Unable to refuse the hospitality, Liu Hao was dragged to his apartment by Zhang Guorong, who was in high spirits, and called his friends to summon some card buddies.
In Zhang Guorong's apartment, Liu Hao and another man in the room nodded, and it didn't take long for several poker friends in the industry to come over.
"Did you know that I was on a date when you called me?"
"Then why don't you agree to come over? I don't need you as a poker friend..."
"Brother, it took a lot of effort for you to call me. In the excitement, my little sister will naturally risk her life to accompany the gentleman. We can go on a date any day."
"Then I'll pay you a date in the future!"
"Okay, this is what you said."
Watching Leslie Cheung and Mei Yanfang chatting enthusiastically, Liu Hao envied their innocent friendship that transcended love.
After greeting Mei Yanfang, Leslie Cheung greeted Carina Lau again.
"Weiwei, don't worry about your coming over so late to play cards."
Liu Jialing smiled and said: "He must be relieved by your call."
Leslie Cheung and Carina Lau have a very good relationship. After all, they are dubbed by the media as the man who slept with her husband. In the movie, Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung and Carina Lau both played lovers.
Zhang Guorong laughed and said: "Today I will drive you away and kill you!"
Liu Jialing didn't care and said with a smile: "I hope you can beat me once today."
Liu Jialing's card playing skills are very good, and Zhang Xueyou once complained that her card playing skills are as good as those of a thousand people.
Another one is a princess.
When he saw a shiny ring on the princess's hand, Zhang Guorong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Feifei brought a lot of capital here today. I want to make a profit. I will win you this ring today."
."
The princess showed the ring in her hand and said with a smile: "It's not that easy, it's very expensive!"
Zhang Guorong introduced Liu Hao to his poker friends. Liu Jialing greeted Liu Hao politely, but did not pay too much attention. Mei Yanfang thought for a while and became very enthusiastic after recognizing Liu Hao. The princess recognized her at the first sight.
Liu Hao's eyes were full of curiosity.
After all, Mei Yanfang and Wang Fei are both people in the music industry, and Liu Hao's identity as a songwriter and composer has a strong attraction for them.
Besides, Liu Hao is as handsome as a reader, and he is in a youthful and sunny age. He is a real young man just based on his appearance.
Mei Yanfang went to the mainland to perform very early, and also released a Mandarin album. She speaks Mandarin very well. Both Liu Jialing and the princess grew up in the mainland, and the princess is from the capital, so it is natural that Mandarin is not a problem.
The poker friends Zhang Guorong found also took care of Liu Hao's identity as a mainlander and wanted to help Liu Hao build connections.
I was nineteen years old at that time, standing like a slave.
After all, the people present are all seniors in the industry, and they are all friends of Zhang Guorong. They have enough card partners, so there is no need for Liu Hao to grab a card seat.
Besides, Liu Hao is not very familiar with the rules of Guangdong Mahjong, so he has to watch it for a few rounds to get familiar with it.
As soon as he arrived at the card table, Zhang Guorong lost his usual gentle and gentle demeanor. He opened his collar and rolled up his cuffs, looking like a prodigal son like Ah Fei.
After watching a few rounds, Liu Hao had a certain understanding of the poker skills of several people present.
Liu Jialing is the most skilled and a master, Mei Yanfang's card skills are average, Leslie Cheung is a rookie, and the princess is a rookie among rookies.
Both of them are also addicted to food.
No wonder Zhang Guorong likes to play cards with the princess. It is not easy to find someone who is better at playing cards than himself.
After being abused for a long time, it is really nice to be able to enjoy the feeling of being abused.
After a while of observation, Liu Hao discovered that the two of them had some characteristics when playing cards. His elder brother Zhang Guorong liked to light cigarettes after listening to the cards. His hands would shake when he was excited. The louder the cards were played, the more he would shake, and he would pretend to be calm.
.
As for the princess, she will play zither when she gets good cards. The better the cards, the better she will play zither. She can also whistle.
Even if she has good cards, she cannot afford to lose them. Sometimes, in order to coax the princess, Liu Jialing will deliberately light up the cannons for the princess.
There was really no interest in playing cards with these novices. After playing a few rounds, seeing that Liu Hao was already familiar with the rules, Liu Jialing took the initiative to give up her seat to Liu Hao.
When a master left and a newbie came, the princess thought he could make a comeback, but Liu Hao, who was still in the protection period of the novice, was surprisingly lucky. He even made several tricks, but it was still the unlucky princess who set off the cannon.
Liu Jialing on the side couldn't stand it any longer. She reminded the princess and said: "How can you play this card like this? You should play this card and play it faster..."
The princess turned her head and stared seriously, with a serious look on her face, and replied angrily, "I'm telling you, if you say I'm not good at singing, I'll admit it. If you say I'm not good at playing mahjong, I won't admit it even to death!"
"
Then Liu Hao fired the cannon again. The princess was so angry that she took off the ring in her hand and slapped it on the table. She shouted to Liu Hao: "If you catch me and fire the cannon next time, I will lose this ring to you."
Got it!"
"No, no, no," Liu Hao quickly gave up. He didn't dare to ask for the princess if she dared to lose. This ring is worth so much.
Liu Hao then said with a smile: "I said that if, in case you really lose to me, I don't want your ring, just give me a signed album of yours, and it would be best to write more blessing messages."
Zhang Guorong, who heard this from the side, pretended to be jealous and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you are my fan? Why did you ask her for a signed album? If you didn't ask for it from me, could it be that what you said before was to coax me..."
Liu Hao touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I thought you would give it to me, haha..." He turned to the princess and said, "I didn't ask for it for me. I have a friend. She is
Your senior hardcore fans really like your songs, and of course I also like your songs..."
"Some of you like it, so no one asks me for a signed album. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It seems that I am getting old..." Mei Yanfang teased with a smile.
"No way, I grew up listening to your songs, and I am also your fan. If you are willing to give it to me, that would be the best. Of course, the more the merrier..."
The princess answered: "The friend you are talking about is really not you?"
"of course not!"
"female?"
"Yeah!" Liu Hao nodded.
"Your girlfriend?" the princess asked again.
Liu Hao smiled and did not answer directly, but his meaning was already very clear.
The princess put the ring on her finger again, looked at it, and said: "That's no problem, but if you light up the cannon and make me fool, then you have to lose to me a song that you composed."
"No problem!" Liu Hao came prepared.
In the next round, Liu Hao deliberately messed it up and fired the cannon to mess with the princess.
After finally messing up, the princess was as happy as a child, asking Liu Hao for help: "My song, my song..."
Liu Hao pretended to be angry and helpless and wrote the lyrics and music of "If This Is Love" on paper.
Liu Hao thought that if the theme songs and interludes of Big Brother's movies were all songs sung by himself, it would be too monotonous. It would be better to have female songs to balance it out.
"If This Is Love" is originally a female song. It would be very good if the princess sang it. Moreover, the princess is famous and has many gimmicks, which is more conducive to the promotion of the movie.
Liu Hao was worried about the box office of Big Brother's movie.
The princess hummed a few words and felt that the quality of the song was good, but she said with some regret: "It would be better if it was rock music..."
But she was still satisfied, and the princess agreed that the female voice of her song could be used as the title song of the movie.
After a while, Liu Hao lost another song to Mei Yanfang.
Liu Hao thought about it in his mind and found that there was indeed a song that was quite suitable.
So I wrote the lyrics and music of another song on paper.
"Flammable and Explosive".
Mei Yanfang is a rare mezzo-soprano singer. Her timbre is not only more recognizable, but also more explosive and tense. Her voice is deep, round and rich in texture.
It really suits this song.
Moreover, Mei Yanfang is the "darling" of the gossip media and is often harassed endlessly.
The simple summary of this song means "Why do you have so many things to do? What else do you want from me?"
Just in time to fight back against those unscrupulous media.
Mei Yanfang really liked this song, and even the princess joked that she would trade the song Liu Hao gave her with Mei Yanfang.
The performance of two good songs in a row made Liu Hao's talented songwriter more "worthy of his reputation", and also made those present put aside their laziness and contempt, and looked at Liu Hao with growing respect.
"Both of us won a song, but what about my brother? You can't leave him alone, he is your idol!" the princess joked with a smile.
After hearing this, Liu Hao brainstormed and searched for suitable songs.
Seeing that Liu Hao was in "difficulty", his brother Leslie Cheung came to the rescue with a smile: "I like your song "Courage" very much. As long as you allow me to cover it and put it into my future album, I will be very satisfied..."
"Of course!" Liu Hao agreed immediately, looking at his brother in his prime, and then thinking about the regrettable ending of his brother in the future.
When the apocalypse arrived at the right time, Liu Hao raised his eyebrows and began to write furiously on the paper.
I wrote down the music first, glanced at my brother who looked curious, and without hesitation, finally wrote down the lyrics.
Liu Hao knew that his brother's illness was physiological and serious, but he still hoped that this song could still have some effect.
Of course, Liu Hao still owns the copyright of the songs he sent out and can sing and produce records himself.
…..
"My brother stayed up all night, he is suspected of being an empath!"
When Liu Hao left in the early morning, he was secretly photographed by the paparazzi, and then the unscrupulous Hong Kong media exaggerated to attract attention.
He also gave Liu Hao a low profile, which was a disguised form of publicity for Liu Hao.
After all, Liu Hao is discriminated against in Hong Kong because he is a mainlander. He is the kind of singer who is famous but not famous. He may have a lot of listeners but not many fans.
My brother also deliberately stayed in Hong Kong for an extra day, ignoring the rumors and helping Liu Hao to promote the platform for a whole day. Mei Yanfang and the princess also reciprocated the favor and helped Liu Hao promote his new album in front of the media and cameras many times. Mei Yanfang also found TVB
The relationship invited Liu Hao to appear on TVB's program.
In addition, Rolling Stone Records worked hard to help Liu Hao with publicity, and Liu Hao's reputation began to spread in Hong Kong.
The Mainland pop king is gradually beginning to live up to his reputation.
On February 22nd, after participating in his brother's tour concert in Zhongshan as a guest singer, Liu Hao went to Wanwan without stopping to promote his new album.
But within a few days of promoting in Wanwan, Liu Hao and his group rushed back to the capital by plane.
