“congratulations on getting rich on Teacher Su Yu's blockbuster movie! It's truly hilarious; I've secretly gone to the cinema to watch it twice already!”
Liu Furong must not have seen Huang Da'an there, otherwise he wouldn't have congratulated him so openly.
“Oh, it's nothing, just good luck. I haven't even thanked Andy Lau for his righteous help in promoting it. Without Andy Lau's help, the movie's box office wouldn't have achieved its current success.”
Su Yu replied politely.
“That's also because the movie is excellent enough! All right, Teacher Su Yu, let's stop flattering each other. I came here this time because I wanted to ask how far along you are with my album?”
Andy Lau waved his hand, quickly stopping the compliments, then smiled and explained his purpose.
He came specifically for the new album. So much time had passed, yet Su Yu had been silent on his end, which made it hard for Andy Lau not to be anxious.
He was no longer young. If Su Yu didn't leave him enough time, he wouldn't be able to guarantee the album's release during the Spring Festival.
This would affect many of his plans and arrangements.
“It's all ready. Even if Andy Lau hadn't come to visit these past few days, I was planning to contact you anyway. Let's go talk in the car.”
Su Yu smiled and invited Andy Lau into his nanny van.
Qin Gang, the driver and bodyguard, dutifully stood outside the car, preventing others from gathering to watch.
Inside the car, Su Yu gave Andy Lau the ten songs he had prepared overnight over the past few days.
Andy Lau didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began listening to them one by one in the car.
About half an hour later, Andy Lau looked up at Su Yu with a surprised expression.
“Teacher Su Yu's songwriting and composing skills truly impress me more and more! Every song in here feels like it was tailor-made for me. It's really amazing! And I'm so grateful!”
Liu Furong spoke excitedly, his voice even a little hoarse.
With his discerning eye and experience, after a simple listen, he knew the caliber of these songs.
He even felt that the quality of his own album was in no way inferior to Su Yu's own.
Andy Lau felt that Su Yu was truly honest; all ten songs were gems among gems!
If it were anyone else, they would probably be at their limit if they could produce 3 high-quality songs.
After all, Su Yu's share of the profits wouldn't be too high when collaborating with him.
It would be better to save the good, excellent songs for Tianxing Entertainment's singers.
Failing that, Su Yu could also sing them himself.
At least Andy Lau believed that Su Yu's singing skills far surpassed his own. Would Su Yu feel pressured by songs that he himself could sing?
Moreover, Su Yu's own album sales were already splendid and terrifying, selling over 19 million copies in just over 20 days since its release!
Total sales had already surpassed Ye Mei's new album from last month.
Many in the industry believed that by the end of this month, Su Yu's new album could even break through 20 million copies!
This was the rhythm of directly achieving god-like status with just one album.
Even Andy Lau wasn't confident that his new album could break this terrifying record.
“It's nothing, as long as Andy Lau is satisfied! And I will seriously fulfill what I promised Andy Lau. If Andy Lau feels there are no issues, then go to Tianxing Entertainment to sign the contract. I'll call Li Dayue; he will also be the album's producer this time. Is that okay?”
This outcome was within Su Yu's expectations, after all, he gave Andy Lau classic songs from Earth's "Andy Lau"!
Many of the hit songs from various albums were included in this one album by Su Yu.
If the quality wasn't good, that would be strange.
However, Su Yu's dedication to this matter was obviously false; how could he have the time to fully dedicate himself to creating an album for Andy Lau?
“No problem! These were all agreed upon before, so I naturally won't go back on my word! Oh, and Teacher Su Yu, is this song "congratulations on getting rich" something you prepared for my Spring Festival Gala performance? This is truly perfect!”
What could Andy Lau say? It was something they had already discussed.
Moreover, among the ten songs, he accurately found one that could be performed at the Spring Festival Gala.
There really was no song more suitable for the Spring Festival Gala than "congratulations on getting rich."
“That's right! Although the melody and lyrics of this song are simple, once it's sung at the Spring Festival Gala, I believe that for many years to come, this song will absolutely not be absent during the Spring Festival period!”
Su Yu nodded.
What he didn't say was that this song would also dominate most shopping malls at that time, becoming a catchy street song that people couldn't escape.
“Hahahahaha, I think so too! Teacher Su Yu, if there's nothing else, I'll head to Tianxing Entertainment. I need to focus on producing this album now. See you at the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal!”
Andy Lau laughed loudly as he got out of the car and left; he was truly eager to go back and produce this album.
And when he said "see you at the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal," he felt that with Su Yu's heaven-defying performance and popularity in the latter half of the year, the Spring Festival Gala production team would definitely invite Su Yu to appear.
The song category programs for the Blue Star Spring Festival Gala usually only begin about a month before the Gala, because song programs are simple and easy.
Unlike song-and-dance or language programs, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
“Spring Festival Gala?” Su Yu watched Andy Lau leave, muttering to himself.
In his previous life, he only got to watch the Spring Festival Gala at home. In this life, he actually had the qualifications to appear on the Spring Festival Gala?
This made Su Yu feel a little dazed.
Just as Andy Lau said, his performance in the latter half of this year, 2012, was indeed quite outstanding and eye-catching.
Furthermore, since he had no negative points or scandals, being selected by the Spring Festival Gala production team was only natural.
However, with his current popularity and standing in the music industry, whether he participated in the Spring Festival Gala or had this exposure opportunity actually didn't matter much.
What Su Yu was thinking about now was how many singers from Tianxing Entertainment would be selected for the Spring Festival Gala.
Because they were the ones who needed exposure the most.
In the early morning of the 26th, "lost in thailand"'s third-day box office was hotly released at 69.37 million, bringing its total box office to 210 million after three days of release!
And this was despite its screening rate being less than 10%.
Starting from the 26th, major cinema chains tacitly re-adjusted the screening schedules of more than a dozen movies.
The three-day novice protection period was over, and what followed was the most brutal hunting season.
Su Yu learned from Han Jiangxue that on the 26th, "lost in thailand"'s screening rate had already reached 35%.
Tianxing Entertainment's Film and Television Department analyzed that the single-day box office on the 26th was very likely to buck the trend and directly break 100 million!
Meanwhile, Huang Da'an's "Sirius" had been steadily declining in performance these past few days, having already dropped below ten million on the 25th.
This time, its screening rate would undoubtedly be cut, truly adding insult to injury...
When the 26th ended, the news that "lost in thailand"'s single-day box office reached 107 million directly exploded online.
Everyone knew that this time, whether it was Su Yu, Tianxing Entertainment, or the film's main creators, they all made a fortune!
