Chapter 55: Saving the Falling Idol(1/2)
In early December, Winger's offline promotion had already begun, while Penguin's plagiarism was still in progress and had not yet been launched online. Cao Mang went to Hong Kong Island to attend to an important matter.
Three days ago, under Xu Huashan's busy schedule, Kirin Entertainment also signed a buyout agreement for online broadcast rights with Hong Kong companies such as Universal Emperor.
With this cooperative relationship, it was much easier to meet that person. After being contacted by Xu Huashan, Cao Mang came to Hong Kong Island alone.
In a private room at the Peninsula Hotel.
"Leslie, let me introduce you. This is Cao Mang, Mr. Cao. He is the boss of Qilin Entertainment in the Mainland." Chen Shufen introduced.
She had only received the notice the day before that there was a big financial backer in the Mainland who wanted to meet Leslie. She didn't know the reason, but this financial backer was beyond her expectation. Not only was he wealthy, but he was also young and handsome.
"Hello, Mr. Cao." Leslie smiled slightly and the two shook hands.
"Hello Leslie, I grew up listening to your advice." Cao Mang was a little excited to see his idol face to face for the first time.
He had never seen Andy Lau, Jay Chou, or Cao Mang in his previous life, but he had no chance to see this idol.
"I wonder what Boss Cao wants to see me for this time?" Leslie asked in confusion.
He felt that Cao Mang's visit this time was not as simple as a fan meeting an idol.
"Sister Fen, can you let me talk to Leslie alone?" Cao Mang asked.
Cao Mang's request to talk to Leslie alone was somewhat beyond her expectations.
Chen Shufen looked at Leslie at this time, Leslie nodded, and she walked out of the private room alone.
"Sister Fen has also left. Boss Cao, if you have anything to say," Leslie said with a smile on her face.
"I have a very good friend who is gay. He suffered from depression because of the public opinion. I was afraid that he would not be able to think about jumping off the roof one day, so I gave him a song in the hope that he would come out and that he would not be worried about the outside world.
No matter how you look at him, people only need to live to love themselves and the people they love. It doesn't matter what other people think.
My friend is also your fan, so I want to invite Leslie to sing this song." After Cao Mang finished speaking, he took out a sheet of music from his bag and pushed it in front of Leslie.
Leslie was in a very complicated mood at this time. There were people like her in the world.
Leslie looked at Cao Mang and thought to herself, he must be that person's other half, otherwise how could he find her in person? He is really kind to his other half.
It's a pity that Cao Mang couldn't hear his inner thoughts, otherwise he would have sprayed him to death with a mouthful of salt water.
If it weren't for the fact that he was his idol and it was such a pity that he died, he wouldn't have come to Hong Kong Island to see if he could be saved.
Leslie was moved by Cao Mang's lies through brainstorming, and his friend's experience was very similar to his, so he decided to help Cao Mang fulfill his wish.
"The rushing waves lap at your feet with the waves
Minute by minute
No more than knee deep
Until the hair is soaked
The tide hides the face
But the sea is rejecting
Returned to the beach
It's hard to move forward in the depths of the sea
There is no way to settle on the bottom of the sea
What are your remaining wishes?
Still to be presented in person
Too many wishes in life and nowhere to be found
But there is no dead end for survival
Don’t let yourself go through those experiences day and night
Don't feel ashamed that you are useless in this life
A little depression does no harm
There is really no need to commit suicide
There is only a trace of laughter and scolding in this cold world
Why blame heaven and earth for all sentient beings are like this?
Ignore the gossip
Just put it aside
The rushing waves lap at your feet with the waves
Minute by minute
Up to shoulders
But the sea is rejecting
Returned to the beach
What are your remaining wishes?
Still to be presented in person
Too many wishes in life and nowhere to be found
But there is no dead end for survival
Don’t let yourself go through those experiences day and night
Don't feel ashamed that you are useless in this life
commit suicide in endless places
How much it hurts, I think you will know
There is only a trace of laughter and scolding in this cold world
Why blame heaven and earth for all sentient beings are like this?
Ignore the gossip
Just put it aside
There is a day to live and a time to die
Don't say goodbye too early
There is always a time when trees are full of flowers
Don’t break branches without flowers
The weather has cleared after the storm
Diving with you in the sea
tie life tight
Accompany you to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the sea”
[Cantonese version of Under the Sea]
Leslie picked up the sheet music and cried while reading it, and started crying at the end.
Cao Mang knew that the emotions he had suppressed for a long time finally burst out, so he quietly walked out of the box.
"Mr. Cao, have you finished talking to Leslie?" Chen Shufen asked after seeing Cao Mang walking out alone.
"That's right." Cao Mang said with a smile, half of his purpose of coming here has been accomplished.
"What are Mr. Cao's plans next?" Chen Shufen asked.
"I will return to the mainland tomorrow. I still have important things to do, so I don't have any arrangements." Cao Mang replied.
"Then Leslie and I will treat you to dinner later," Chen Shufen replied.
After Chen Shufen finished speaking, she planned to call Leslie, who was still in the box, to come out. When she pushed open the box door, she vaguely heard a man crying. At this time, Cao Mang pulled the door back and came down.
"Let him be alone for a while." Cao Mang said with a slight smile.
Does this Mr. Cao from the Mainland also know about Leslie?
As Leslie's manager, Chen Shufen naturally knew about his affairs. At this time, she was very curious about what the two talked about in the box.
When Chen Shufen was about to ask what Cao Mang said to Leslie, the box door opened: "I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, I just lost my temper."
Chen Shufen found that Leslie's whole spirit changed after she cried.
"It's okay, people always have emotions and desires. It's also because I wrote the lyrics so well." Cao Mang said with a playful smile.
Chen Shufen’s head is full at this time???
What is going on?
Could it be that Leslie cried because Mr. Cao's lyrics were so well written?
Did this Mr. Cao come to Leslie to sing with him?
