Chapter 242: Zhang Kunyou's kindness

Wangge Restaurant.

It is a time-honored Cantonese restaurant with a history of more than 100 years.

After 100 years of operation, Wang Ge Restaurant is no longer just a small teahouse for drinking tea and eating dim sum, but has turned into one of the most famous Cantonese restaurants on Hong Kong Island, with branches all over Hong Kong Island, and this branch on the edge of Victoria Harbour is the location of their main store, starting from the first floor, opening a full three floors.

Blue bricks and red tiles, carved beams and cornices, antique.

The third floor is also the top floor.

Zhang Kunyou booked the top floor of this restaurant, and the restaurant was listed early on the third floor to be full, and the reminder board was not accepted.

The sea breeze is blowing, blowing the sweet smell of the sea.

This is Victoria Harbour.

Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island.

It's also his Victoria Harbour.

He is the son of a seaside fisherman, there are many brothers and sisters in the family since he was a child, the family is in dire straits, he dropped out of school after graduating from middle school and started working, he met a talent scout by chance, praised his singing skills, and then signed a contract to be an artist of a music agency, starting from a very small brother, after decades of hard work, he has now become the god of the music scene on Hong Kong Island, the light of Victoria Harbour!

Time flies, if he is not careful, he has begun to stain his sideburns with frost, his years have begun to grow old, and he has almost lived for singing in the first half of his life, but he still feels that he has not sung enough.

It's just that he has begun to feel more and more that his singing career has encountered a bottleneck in recent years, although the global concerts have been open year after year, and the box office has been strong, but only he knows that almost all the concerts in the past few years have been singing old songs.

In a blink of an eye, he has gone from being the most powerful newcomer in the Hong Kong Island music scene back then, and he is not as good as his career, and he has to walk the rivers and lakes by eating his old book.

This is the last thing he wants to see.

But at present, the creative strength of the Hong Kong Island music scene is declining, and there are not a few really high-quality works in a year, and even if they are a few good songs, he can't look down on them, compared to those works in his peak era, these so-called golden songs at the moment are not a distance of half a street.

He feels that the vitality of the Cantonese music scene is gradually declining, and it is an irreparable fate. He really didn't want to see such a situation happen in his lifetime, over the years, the people of Hong Kong Island have pinned the heavy responsibility of the Zhongxing Hong Kong Island music scene on him, but no matter how he drummed and cheered, the effect was always unsatisfactory.

Until the appearance of a person.

Maggie。

When he heard Maggie's single "Vulnerable Woman", he felt a strong sense of crisis.

Cry wolf!

This was his first reaction when he heard that song, whether it was the lyrics and composition, or the singer's singing and interpretation, he was deeply shocked, and when the entire Hong Kong Island music scene did not realize how this female singer who had quietly arrived in the mainland would influence and change the entire Hong Kong Island pop music scene, Zhang Kunyou keenly smelled the danger.

Then, the female singer released three singles in a row one after the other.

Almost the first one is moving.

Every time a new song is released, she quickly jumps to the top of the major charts, and then continues to dominate, knowing that the next time she releases another single, she will be defeated by herself.

It's chilling!

So, when he finished the last leg of his world tour abroad, he immediately rushed back to Hong Kong Island to attend the launch of Maggie's new album.

For a strong outsider like Maggie, it must be a move to kill with a stick, art has no borders, he has not been narrow-minded to that point, not to mention that they are originally the same ancestral bloodline.

He decided to take the initiative and seek cooperation.

Therefore, he took the initiative to show goodwill and gave Maggie and Tyumen Hao a huge sincerity.

Today's major media on Hong Kong Island, from print media to the Internet, about Maggie, about Qiu Minghao, and about Zhang Kunyou taking the initiative to stand for the platform The news has spread to every corner of Hong Kong Island.

The headlines in newspapers and websites on the Island music scene almost always convey the same meaning:

"The wolf is coming!"

Especially when the other seven songs in Maggie's album were released at the same time, both professional singers and melon-eating people were deeply shocked by the huge charm released by this album.

As their advertising slogan says:

"The first song is the title song!"

Everyone gasped.

Zhang Kunyou even felt the strong impact of this album.

"Sir, Miss Maggie and Mr. Tyumen Hao have gone downstairs!"

Zhang Kunyou's assistant walked over and whispered in his ear.

"Come with me, and welcome your guests!"

After Zhang Kunyou finished speaking, he took the first step and walked to the staircase on the third floor.

His agent didn't react for a while, and looked at Zhang Kunyou who was striding away in a daze, his eyes were confused, how could his husband care so much about a stranger?

But there is no time for him to continue in a daze.

Maggie and Tyumen Hao had already reached the top of the stairs.

"Hello, Miss Maggie, Mr. Qiu, we meet again!"

Zhang Kunyou's Chinese is not very bright, which is related to the fact that he rarely releases Chinese songs on weekdays, and rarely sets foot in mainland music performances, because he does not use them on weekdays.

"Thank you!"

Maggie and Zhang Kunyou first hugged each other, and after the two let go, Zhang Kunyou enthusiastically reached out and shook Qiu Minghao tightly.

"Come, come, let's sit down and talk, Ah Soft, go downstairs and tell Manager Zhang, it's time to start serving, the guests have arrived!"

After Zhang Kunyou finished speaking, he instructed his assistant Ah Soft.

Ah Soft has been following him for more than 20 years, but it is also the first time that Mr. Zhang has seen him attach so much importance to a guest.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so polite!"

Maggie saw the empty dining room on the top floor, a huge space large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and there were only three of them at the moment.

"I know that the two of you are from the mainland, so as a landlord, inviting the two of you to eat Cantonese food may be a little more comfortable after all, and the Cantonese food on Hong Kong Island is very delicious, you will definitely like it, in addition, I am worried that there are too many people, it will make us chat, so I chartered this field. ”

Zhang Kunyou smiled faintly, as if talking about a very ordinary thing.

"It's bothering you, Mr. Zhang. ”

Qiu Minghao looked at Zhang Kunyou and felt his strong hospitality.

"Alright, let's sit down and talk. ”

Zhang Kunyou motioned to everyone to stop standing and talking.

Dishes and drinks have been served in turn.

It is obvious that the restaurant also attaches great importance to this gathering between the two sides, and these dishes are obviously cooked in the shortest possible time.

Maggie and Tyumen Hao had been working all morning, and when they saw so many delicacies, they couldn't help but work up their appetites.

"Alright, let's talk while we eat. ”

Zhang also seems to see Maggie's possessive appetite for food.

"Good. ”

Maggie is not welcome, the food is current, everything is on the sidelines.

"Come, Miss Maggie, Mr. Qiu, a toast to our reunion, welcome to Hong Kong Island, congratulations on the success of your album!"

Zhang Kunyou picked up his wine glass and smiled sincerely.

"Thank you. ”

Maggie and Tyumen Hao thanked at the same time.

"I've been thinking about this day since the last time I heard Miss Maggie sing, and although it was a little late, I didn't miss it. ”

Zhang Kunyou personally sandwiched a piece of charcoal-grilled crispy pork neck for Maggie.

"Thank you, we have admired Mr. Zhang for a long time, but we can't see him, and it is also a blessing for Qiu to meet Mr. Zhang this time. ”

Qiu Minghao toasted to Zhang Kunyou.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu, let's just talk to each other, it would be hypocritical to say politely, in fact, I set up a banquet today to invite the two of you to enjoy the light, and as I said yesterday, I want to have a chance to cooperate with the two. ”

Zhang Kunyou directly explained his intentions.

Thanks to Mr. Zhang's refusal to give up, Qiu and Maggie are also happy to see it happen. ”

Qiu Minghao is also very grateful for Zhang Kunyou's sincere invitation.

"Okay, as for the details of the cooperation, we will discuss slowly in the future, and we will invite the two of you to have a special meal today, and after the meal, I will introduce you to some very enthusiastic friends in the Hong Kong Island music scene. ”

After Zhang Kunyou finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Minghao and Maggie.

"Maggie and I can't thank you enough if we can!"

Qiu Minghao didn't expect Mr. Zhang Kunyou to be sincere, they entered the Hong Kong Island music scene alone this time, in fact, they were not very sure in their hearts, Hong Kong Island is not familiar with him and Maggie, and continue to expand his contacts on Hong Kong Island, and the appearance of Zhang Kunyou undoubtedly opened a huge door to this dilemma.

There was light outside the door.

It was as if they had seen a new and bright hope.
