Chapter 22 The Nine Mismatches of KTV
When Du Qifeng led a vigorous delegation of large port films to Cannes, media such as Hong Kong and the Mainland immediately started fighting, and their eyes and focus also followed.
"The Underworld" was finally released at the screening. Everyone was excited to wait for the good news. Even if there was no "the audience stood up and applauded for fifteen minutes", at least "everyone was moved to tears!
Unfortunately, it was this "March of Society", which produced a literary and artistic gangster film, that quickly revealed that the old lady vomited because she couldn't stand the bloody camera!
To be honest, Chu Yue didn't think this news was fake or exaggerated. At least for him, there were indeed quite cruel scenes in the plot of "The Underworld", but those are so few that they can be ignored, and are mostly concentrated in the next episode.
It seems that this news indicates the cold reception of "The Underworld" in Cannes. In Chu Yue's eyes, this drama, which can be regarded as a classic literary and artistic gangster, suffered a crushing defeat in Cannes. In the end, "The Underworld" won nothing, and the 10-day trip to Cannes ended up in a defeat. Instead, Wang Xiaoshuai's "Qinghong" won a special award from the jury.
What is even more frightening is that in almost half a year, there are only a handful of Hong Kong films with box office of over 10 million in half a year. For a time, all film critics and film practitioners in Hong Kong fell into an unprecedented low and pessimism. The claim that Hong Kong films are dead is no longer just the view of mainland movie fans, but have even been sadly recognized by Hong Kong filmmakers.
In this case, the only thing that can be expected is big productions such as "Initial D" and "The Underworld" to turn the tide. Chu Yue accidentally participated in the production of two dramas, and the production staff who participated in the production of big productions are always very popular. Don't you see that some dramas invite Hollywood technicians to participate in the production, and you always have to sell points like the producers who were once a certain film.
Hong Kong films are degenerate, and Chu Yue is also very depressed. He has always been a Hong Kong film fan. Now that he has become like this, he feels uncomfortable. However, another good news is that Gary finally started to make peace. He successfully passed an audition with his unique appearance and got a supporting role performance opportunity.
Even though it was so miserable, Chu Yue still had to live his life. On this day, he made an appointment with Lin Jiaxin to go to KTV to find happiness. He was not polite, so he pulled a few friends and went together!
After waiting in the KTV private room for a while, Lin Jiaxin came with a group of chattering women. To be precise, some of these women are really pretty, and they attracted a few friends brought by Chu Yue.
In the hip-hop atmosphere, even Long Jiahao couldn't help but sing a girl to sing a song together! Seeing that everyone had sang, only Chu Yue hadn't sang, the others immediately started to cheer: "A Yue, now you haven't sang, you have to perform whatever you say!"
"Singing is not a problem, but I'm afraid that you'll steal your limelight as soon as I open my mouth. Ah Hao and the others will beat me up at that time!" Chu Yue laughed, but he didn't really refuse. He came out to play, and the picture was just a happy thing. However, Long Jiahao was laughing secretly beside him. He had heard Chu Yue sang, so he could definitely suppress anyone!
Chu Yue smiled treacherously, and even Lin Jiaxin felt something was wrong. This guy called Beyond's song "Metal Madman", opened his mouth and screamed in a turbulent voice: "How many vicissitudes in my heart... I must break out of the shackles today..."
After singing this, Lin Jiaxin and others all turned gray. This is not a song, it is simply a magical sound! I think so, Chu Yue himself was deliberately screaming like this, and his voice was still very high, so the sound he screamed was really unacceptable.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, Lin Jiaxin's friend rushed forward, and Long Jiahao, who had his ears blocked, snatched the microphone away from his mouth: "Please don't sing, otherwise we won't be able to sleep this year!"
Chu Yue shrugged and let them take away the microphone. He laughed treacherously: "I have said before that if I ask me to sing, I will bear the consequences!" As he said that, he actually laughed wildly.
"Damn it, it's tolerant, who's unbearable! Today I'm going to report and expose you!" Amid Chu Yue's crazy laughter, Long Jiahao finally fell into the enemy's beauty trap under the soft words of the woman beside him, and rose up on the spot, proudly reveling: "A Yue did this on purpose. In fact, he sang very well. Don't fall into his trap!"
Chu Yue suddenly fell down and glared at Long Jiahao fiercely, and quickly decided! Before he could say anything, Lin Jiaxin rushed over and grabbed him and shouted: "You dare to play tricks on us, sisters, let him know what the consequences are now!"
Lin Jiaxin was happy, but the others were not happy! On the spot, a traitor who turned against Long Jiahao reported: "Jiaxin, if you sing a song with him, you will know his level immediately. Just use this as a punishment! Under normal circumstances, this guy is still unwilling to sing!"
Looking at Lin Jiaxin's big eyes turning around, Chu Yue touched his chin and said seriously: "That way... I will be as you wish! However, it takes a price to ask me to sing. For every song I sing, each of you will drink a can of beer!" Everyone naturally nodded happily and agreed!
Chu Yue smiled slightly, blinked his eyes, found the song "Your Most Rare", clicked it out, and handed a microphone to Lin Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, my voice is very high, you must not keep up after a while!" In fact, Lin Jiaxin has released a record. Although she is not a professional singer, her quality will not be bad.
In the United States, Chu Yue had formed a band with Gary. As the lead singer, his singing skills are certainly not too bad. The reason why he doesn't like singing in KTV is mainly because he always feels that singing in KTV has no atmosphere and no texture.
Clearing his throat, Chu Yue and Lin Jiaxin exchanged a voice and reached back to press it. Long Jiahao immediately told others knowingly: "Don't make any noises later, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!" He sang with Chu Yue on KTV for the first time, laughing and making trouble behind him. Chu Yue fell over his shoulder on the spot. He still remembers this.
"At this time next year, we will make an appointment at this place..." Chu Yue held the microphone in his left hand and unconsciously shot the rhythm on his thigh with his right hand. His voice was low and slow! Lin Jiaxin quickly followed: "Remember to bring a rose, tie and tie and think about it..."
Chu Yue's voice gives people a very light and floating feeling, but it is thick and steady, and it seems to be a layer of sadness floating with the singing, but it seems to be without it, giving people the feeling between reality and illusion.
When the chorus was sung, Chu Yue's voice rose rapidly, almost bringing Lin Jiaxin's voice a few KEYs higher. It was originally a very good cooperation, but now it sounds a bit weird, completely losing the feeling of a chorus, and it is more like Chu Yue's solo, and there are some strange sounds!
After the song was over, everyone started to make a fuss: "A Yue, you are too much. You know that Jiaxin's voice is not that high, so you have to take it with you. Wouldn't that embarrass Jiaxin?"
Chu Yue smiled awkwardly. It was not that he was deliberately embarrassed, but that he couldn't help but want to sing whenever he sang the high notes! For a while, he didn't expect that Lin Jiaxin's voice could not keep up! Lin Jiaxin laughed and blinked at Chu Yue, looking very cute: "I think you should sing more, and you can definitely have a future than acting or makeup!" But there was a ray of the same thought in her heart: Even singing is so inconsistent, maybe you really can't get together...
"I have formed a band with my friends before, but we are playing music, not music, and not money!" Chu Yue smiled and pulled Lin Jiaxin and sat down, but saw those guys playing heartlessly, and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
Lin Jiaxin seemed to have put down some burden in that moment, and her whole body felt much more relaxed, and her smile became much brighter. She looked at Chu Yue and agreed loudly: "It makes sense. Now it's just people playing with money or music!"
However, despite this, Lin Jiaxin still felt that Chu Yue should really sing, at least she thought Chu Yue had such excellent conditions. What she wanted most many years ago was to be a singer, but later she couldn't become an actor and became lucky to become an actor. Therefore, she still had some understanding of some of the conditions for being a singer.
After playing for a while, Chu Yue stood up and wanted to go to the bathroom. When he walked out of the private room, he saw that the door of the private room next door was wide open and a woman came out. Just this glance, Chu Yue was stunned. On the side he saw, this woman had beautiful body lines that made several women envy. Even if it was just the side, even if it was only half a face, it was enough to surprise Chu Yue, who had seen many beauties.
However, the woman's beauty surprised Chu Yue, but she was dressed quite ordinary. She had an ordinary T-shirt, jacket, jeans and a pair of casual sneakers, which looked even more beautiful, but she showed a kind of cool demeanor, which was impressive.
What surprised Chu Yue even more was that the woman was actually carrying a black garbage bag in her hand. This woman shouldn’t be the waiter here, right? This judgment almost made Chu Yue faint on the spot!
Go up and meet! This was Chu Yue's first thought. However, he quickly gave up this idea. He didn't want to live such a day of singing every night. He hoped that it could be simpler and more plainer, and he would be unnecessary to provoke other women!
Thinking of this, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, turned around and headed towards the bathroom! Suddenly, a drunken voice came into his ears: "Miss, you are so beautiful, why not...uh, come in and spend time with me!" The voice even hiccupped, which sounded disgusting.
Chu Yue turned around depressedly, and indeed saw that the woman was being entangled by a middle-aged man walking out of another private room. He couldn't help but sigh. Although he was a gangster in nature and had done a lot of gangster things, he always had a little bit of unfairness, especially such a beautiful woman!
When Chu Yue walked in front of the two, the middle-aged man squirted disgusting alcohol and couldn't help but pull the woman. The woman just smiled helplessly and shouted in a low voice: "Let go!" From Chu Yue's perspective, this woman was used to such entanglements when working in such an environment, so she seemed helpless.
However, the woman's clothes had been torn a lot, revealing her pink skin, which made people look more proud! Chu Yue didn't stop cursing the beast in his heart, but he didn't see a stern sound flashing in the woman's eyes. He took a deep breath, reached out and pressed the middle-aged man's wrist joint, and only gently pressed, lifted and twisted. The middle-aged man screamed repeatedly, and was thrown into the private room by Chu Yue!
"Let's go, all the celebrities here are here. This guy is definitely not simple. If you don't want to cause trouble, leave quickly!" Chu Yue glanced at the stunned woman and immediately pulled her to run towards the bathroom...
