Chapter 473 Elvis and the Beatles

"Finally back to Hong Kong..."

On the night of New Year's Eve, the crew's cruise ship finally arrived at the pier. The filming in Africa came to an end for the time being. No matter who it was, everyone felt relaxed.

"Okay, let's move the equipment to the company first, and then we will go home to celebrate the New Year."

"Oh" was the cheers of everyone below.

Zou Wenhuai couldn't mess with everyone. Today was the New Year's Eve. It was better to wait until after the New Year to resolve the matter. However, Zou Wenhuai was still slightly relieved. At least the crew finally returned from Africa before the New Year.

Xue Ronghua also breathed a sigh of relief.

This filming in Africa can be said to be very leisurely, but Xue Ronghua was not so relaxed.

Last year, there was a domestic inspection team in Tanzania, Africa. Later, this team was saved by a mercenary. Xue Ronghua knew this very well. In fact, a famous member of the team at that time

The man named Xiao Bailang is Xue Ronghua's old acquaintance.

So after going to Africa, Xue Ronghua planned to see who this mercenary was, but now, he knew it clearly.

After getting off the cruise ship, Xue Ronghua's escort mission was almost over. He and his colleagues walked up to Zou Wenhuai: "Mr. Zou, the contract between us has ended."

"Ah, it's all thanks to you this time..." Zou Wenhuai smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that today is New Year's Eve, I would really treat you to a meal."

Without the arrangements of the Umbrella Company, it would have been difficult for the crew to travel in Africa, but because they had been contacted before, things would have been much easier to handle.

"I really hope that we can continue to discuss each other next time we have the opportunity." Over there, Bruce Lee also bowed his hand towards Xue Ronghua.

But seeing Bruce Lee's movements, Xue Ronghua's right wrist felt a little painful.

——While sparring in Africa, the wrist of Xue Ronghua's right hand used to block was hit by Bruce Lee's flying kicks three times in a row. If Xue Ronghua hadn't reacted quickly and quickly used the force to retreat and roll, his hand would have been broken.

, are all light.

Of course, Bruce Lee did not do it unintentionally.

"If we have the opportunity in the future, we can naturally compete together again."

Although he knew that the other party did not mean it, no matter what, he was almost crippled by the other party. Xue Ronghua naturally held back his anger, but he could not use his hands for a long time. Otherwise, Xue Ronghua would still

I really want to play a few more games with the opponent to regain some ground for myself.

After leaving, Xue Ronghua and his colleagues went back to the company to report. This is the first thing b needs to do after work is over.

After everything was over, Xue Ronghua did not return to his dormitory where there was only one person. Instead, he wandered around in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and then found a house and knocked on the door.

"Oh, Xiao Xue, you are back."

Now is the time for the Chinese New Year, and the festive atmosphere in Hong Kong is very strong. There are lights and colorful decorations everywhere, lion and dragon dances, etc. It’s so lively.

Although the Kowloon Walled City is almost a slum, every house here is decorated with red stickers for celebration.

"I thought you stayed in Africa." The other party enthusiastically pulled Xue Ronghua in.

Xue Ronghua has almost no relatives. In the first few years in Hong Kong, he spent the New Year here with Hong Kong people. Although he later became "developed" - in the eyes of these people in the Kowloon Walled City - Xue Ronghua still likes to come and spend time with this place.

Celebrate the New Year with the people nearby.

"I originally came back a few days ago, but we were delayed for a few days on the way..." he explained, "but we finally came back in time for the year."

"Come on, come on, don't say anything, just eat first."

Everyone is also extremely enthusiastic. Many people here are "black households". Some people don't want to leave Kowloon Walled City, but they have no choice but to stay here because of their status.

Sitting on a simple chair and eating a simple New Year's Eve dinner, Xue Ronghua felt that it would be great if the world were so simple...

…

This was the third time Elvis Prilles met the Beatles.

The place where they met was at the judges' table of "American Idol".

In 2001, the Beatles visited their teenage idol Elvis Prilles at Graceland in the United States.

Graceland is Prilles' house.

But at that time, Prilles expressed great disdain for these four brats from England. He kept lying on the beach and did not want to answer these heads. However, the Beatles at the time did not take it seriously and only thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime incident.

Strange meeting.

But in August 1965, the Beatles took the opportunity to visit Priles again. This time, Priles rebuked the four brats in person, criticizing the Beatles' music as noise that created social problems.

After that, there was no formal meeting between the two parties.

At the end of 1965, the Beatles performed at the Sheehee Arena in New York, and the audience reached a record-breaking 55,000 people. Now the Beatles' fame in the United States can even rival that of Elvis Presley.

…

But unlike the highly successful Beatles, Prilles had been in the low period of his career for a period of time. It was not until he was passed over by Angel Entertainment that he continued to be in the trough for a long time, and then

After another long period of rest, Prilles finally regained some form.

In fact, in the past two years, in addition to being a judge, he has been recuperating his body. Even the new records released are just some sorting and repairs from the past, and the real new songs are only one or two.

Although Elvis Presley was poached by Angel Entertainment, he was signed with DreamWorks, so he can be considered an artist under DreamWorks. Life here is much easier and more comfortable than before.

No one treats it as a money-making machine and continuously extracts labor force. To use a popular saying here, it is "You yourself are where the biggest capital and profits are."

But being comfortable doesn't mean it's easy.

What Priles hates the most is the housekeeper-like "health consultants" at DreamWorks. Priles was forced to change many of his habits, such as his previous Las Vegas-style lifestyle.

There is also a physical examination... This is simply the worst...

For the company, how much profit Prilles can bring is another matter, but as long as Elvis Prilles is still here, Elvis Presley's big sign will play an extremely huge role.

.

This is the celebrity effect.

But no matter what, Prilles felt that everything was getting better for him. Ever since he was discharged from the army in 1962, Elvis had been listening to low-key music. Although he had released various records and made some movies, he still had a lot of fun with him.

The life that was the same as before is no longer there.

But to be honest, the reason why the program team was able to invite the Beatles was because the Beatles' idol was still Elvis Presley.

Seeing them, Priles was a little embarrassed to be honest.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Prilles." John Lennon first greeted him.

"Oh...Hello..." Maybe it's because his heart is calmer and his anger is less. Although he has some opinions towards the other party, Priles is not able to express them yet, and the other party's achievements have already explained everything.

, I used to underestimate them.

"Oh, gentlemen, the game is about to start."

Before he could even say a few words, the anxious director hurried over, and Priles breathed a sigh of relief. Although these guys couldn't compare with him, they did have enough capital to compete with him.

To compete, no matter how much you disagree with the other party, the other party does already have that power.

People change. After joining DreamWorks, Prilles' personality has become much more easy-going. This may be because people always think about the meaning of life after they become clean.

This year's "American Idol" has a very large number of people, which is also because the Beatles and Priles are both judges.

In fact, many musicians seem to be quite concerned about "American Idol". Many people have tried to ask what qualifications are needed to become a judge here, and whether they can become a judge on "American Idol"

, seems to have become a symbol of whether a musician is experienced or not.

Originally Prilles and the Beatles were supposed to appear in the finals, but in order to increase expectations, the crew temporarily chose an "n-hero group" and asked them to come here to pick out the more outstanding newcomers.

them.

"Let's go." Prilles shook his head.

At this time, Elvis suddenly saw a black child who came to participate in the competition.

"Negro? Child?"

This seems a bit incredible.

Although the competition does not contain any content about racial discrimination, because most of the judges are white, black people actually have very few opportunities to participate in the competition.

The black kid in front of him could actually join the "N-British Group", which had to surprise Elvis.

Although the program team had given Priles the list of all the players before the game started, Priles never looked through the list with dozens of names.

"It seems familiar..." Priles always felt that he seemed to have seen this child somewhere, but he didn't seem to know exactly where he had seen him... Could it be on TV?

"Mr. Prilles?"

The director over there was urging him again, so Elvis could only turn around and walk towards the judges' table. But after all, the other party was also a contestant, so he would naturally perform on stage later...

…

I can't bear it anymore, there will be another update tomorrow.

By the way, please vote, it’s the end of the month...f
