Chapter 9: Hold it high
Manager's Office. Feng Meimei is reporting to Ma Yujie.
"This Cao Rui, it's too unusual, yin and yang are weird all day long, yin and yang are violated, boss, if you say something, he will speak out against it first, it's just too much to take you seriously." Feng Meimei said angrily.
"Huh! Cao Rui has a lot of strange words, it's true, he suffers a loss, but what does this person say, he is still very responsible, and he is serious in his work, and he has not made any major mistakes in acting, which is enough, everyone will have problems, Cao Rui's problems are nothing, I can tolerate them. Ma Yujie said.
"Oh, but, Boss, a word to him can sometimes make you half angry." Feng Meimei saw that Ma Yujie was still so tolerant of Cao Rui, and she was also a little helpless.
She is a lover of personality, and she can't see a villain like Cao Rui jumping around, so she doesn't know how many small things she has said in front of Ma Yujie.
Helplessly, Ma Yujie has always been very serious about Cao Rui.
"Then it's better to talk to him less, by the way, Meimei, it's going to be the peak time for customers, right? I almost forgot to let people play the electronic screen trailer of 'Shocking newcomers, Andy imitates the big show', you go and do it. Ma Yujie patted her head and said.
"Oh? Do you still write a trailer for the newcomer? Feng Meimei was surprised.
"Hmmm! He deserves a special recommendation. Ma Yujie said.
"How do you write that?" Feng Meimei asked.
"Just write: The most shocking Andy Lau singing parody show, just like Andy's real appearance in the one-way street lounge, is definitely worth your expectations!" Ma Yujie said.
"Okay, it's just, boss, I don't think this is holding that Zheng Xiao too high?" Feng Meimei said.
"Do as I say." Ma Yujie said.
Feng Meimei went downstairs to the Art Propaganda Department and asked them to replace the content of the electronic screen on the exterior wall on the first floor.
After a while, the new electronic screen content was displayed.
Andy Lau's large-format poster photo, coupled with Ma Yujie's sentence: Zheng Xiao - the most shocking Andy Lau singing parody show, just like Andy's real appearance in the one-way street lounge, is definitely worth your expectations!
As soon as this teaser was announced, it immediately caused a small sensation.
At this time, it happened to be more than 8:30 o'clock in the evening, which was the peak period for customers, and many people saw the content on the electronic screen.
"Andy Lau is coming to the one-way lounge?"
"I saw it wrong, it's a parody show! A person named Zheng Xiao, who imitates Andy's singing, can imitate Cheng DΓΉ, who is real and fake, came to sing on the one-way street today. β
"Hah! That's something to look forward to! This Zheng Xiao really looks exactly the same as Andy Lau. The person who said this was taking Andy's poster as a photo of Zheng Xiao.
In short, the guests who came to play on the one-way street tonight were very interested.
And not only the electronic screen on the exterior wall, but also the inside of the one-way lounge, the storefront radio is also announcing the news:
"Dear guests, tonight you will have the honor to enjoy the most shocking Andy Lau imitation show, our newly discovered new performing artist Mr. Zheng Xiao will perform with love and present the living Andy Lau in front of you! The similarity between his singing voice and Andy's singing voice can reach 99.999% Cheng dΓΉ, which is like a mold coming out of the abnormality, and his typhoon and his every move also show Andy's true self! Tonight, you will definitely enjoy an unprecedented audio-visual feast! β
Zhao Chunfang was shuttling among the guests with her colleagues, lighting drinks for the guests, her little face was red with excitement, and she said to her colleagues from time to time: "Hear me?" That's talking about my friend, I introduced him to our store to sing, and he really sings very much like Andy Lau. β
Artist's Lounge.
Hearing this broadcast, Cao Rui's stomach was sour, and he was very jealous.
"Humph! If you hold it so high, aren't you afraid that it won't end? Cao Rui snorted angrily, he glanced at Zheng Xiao not far away, "It's crazy to promote a newcomer with such fanfare." β
"Brother Cao, this kid may have a leg with the boss, right? Otherwise, why would he praise him so much? An actress whispered.
"Humph! You forgot, right? Ma Yujie is a lala, she is not interested in men at all! Cao Rui said.
"Let's wait to see the joke for a while, this kid is on stage for the first time, facing so many people, it's no wonder if he doesn't panic! It's good to be able to sing it when the time comes, but it's okay to lose an adult! Another actor sneered.
"Don't talk about it, think about how to remedy that kid's stage fright for a while!" Cao Rui slapped the actor angrily and said.
Near the bar, Feng Meimei stood there, like a seductive poppy, with her arms folded, squeezing the towering and deep ravines on her chest into more seductive shapes, listening quietly to the announcement.
She was also deeply worried.
She always felt that Ma Yujie was too emotional this time, and for a newcomer, such a fanfare promotion would often have the opposite effect.
You must know that people are animals governed by affection, and if you praise him so high and expect so much from him, it will make his psychological burden even heavier, make him look forward and backward, and make him afraid that he will fail to act.
And the more panicked, the easier it is to get out of the basket.
Feng Meimei felt that even if Zheng Xiao could imitate Andy Lau in private, she would be deformed when she was on the big stage and faced with more than a thousand people.
Liu Ruyan and her two female companions sat in the box on the second floor facing the stage.
She is the owner of a real estate company in Xijing, which has developed seven or eight real estate projects in Xijing, and has several large supermarket properties under its name.
Such a big business is the result of her working hard with her husband.
Unfortunately, her husband was murdered three years ago.
She has to manage a huge company and take care of her children by herself, and she is very busy. It's nothing to be busy, and the most important thing is that many nights, she will be attacked by loneliness and emptiness.
That is, after her husband died, she became obsessed with listening to songs.
She especially likes to listen to Andy Lau's songs, and she is extremely obsessed with Andy.
Tonight, she and two girlfriends came to the one-way street to relax and relieve their boredom, but they happened to see the electronic screen trailer outside the bar, and there was Andy's imitation show.
Seeing this, she frowned and said to her best friend: "These people, if you want to sing, you can sing, but they still want to spoil Andy's image, what Andy's imitation show, I think it's embarrassing!" Our Andy is also a cat and a dog that can be imitated casually? Hum! It is enough to say that it can be fake! What a shame! β
Loyal fans, they are quite protective of their idols.
In recent years, Liu Ruyan has seen too many Andy imitation shows, and she frowned after watching most of the performances.
"Like smoke, then just say hello to the owner of this bar and ask them to take down this parody show." A girlfriend offered advice.
"Forget it, let him act, I'll ask someone to buy a bag of eggs, and if the performance is not good for a while, let's throw eggs on the stage together." Liu Ruyan said with a sneer.
"Good! Let's throw eggs together! Dare to tarnish Andy's image, I just don't want to mix it up! Another girlfriend said with stinky feet.
