I really didn't intend to make a living based on my looks.

"I don't know what I've done to deserve this, but I know I can't let you down."

"Baili Tusu is the first male lead I've ever played, and it's my good fortune that you all like him. But the show isn't finished airing yet, and I'm not good enough; I still need to work harder."

"So," he looked at the audience, his gaze sweeping over every face, "thank you. Thank you for your support, thank you for the torrential rain, thank you for your passion!"

The entire room fell silent for a few seconds.

The Singaporean girl in the first row shouted, "Chenchen! We will always support you!"

It was like lighting a fuse.

"Chenchen! We will always support you!"

"Oranges will always be with you!"

"Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen!"

The sound waves surged one after another, drowning out the torrential rain outside the window.

"I'm not good at saying mushy things," Jiang Chen continued, "but I think I'll remember this rain and these people for a long time."

"From now on, I'll remember on rainy days, oh, one summer, a bunch of idiots braved the typhoon-like rain to come see me, their shoes were wet, their coats were wet, and they were still shouting while holding up signs that had no electricity."

"While I was waiting backstage, I saw the heavy rain outside the window and all of you who came to sing for me. I suddenly wanted to write something and sing it to you. Of course, it's not a complete song, just a fragment."

The entire audience was stunned for a moment.

"Ahhhh???"

"What???"

"Chenchen creating art on the spot???"

"Really???"

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but walked to the center of the stage, held the microphone, and closed his eyes.

The entire room fell silent.

Twelve hundred people held their breath, waiting for him to speak.

He opened his eyes, "passing through the hustle and bustle of the crowds and through the city's prosperity."

Singing a cappella.

There was no accompaniment, only his voice, like raindrops falling on the windowsill.

Someone in the audience paused for a moment, then covered their mouth.

"I rushed to this encounter, my heart filled with longing."

The Singaporean girl in the first row gripped her light stick tightly, and the person next to her had tears in their eyes.

"The moment the light board was lit," Jiang Chen's voice grew stronger, like the rain intensifying, "I'm no longer afraid of the wind and rain."

He raised his head, looked down at the audience, and his gaze swept over every face.

"Because you are here, the road ahead is no longer complicated."

The entire place was silent for a moment, then it exploded.

"Chenchen!!!"

"Oranges will always be with you!!!"

"We will always support you!!!"

Jiang Chen smiled and waited for the noise to subside before continuing to sing.

"Let all this rain fall," he said, his voice rising like a torrential downpour, "I'm not afraid of getting my shoulders wet."

In the audience, the Singaporean girl's tears mingled with the rain, streaming down her face.

She didn't wipe it; she just held up the light sign without moving.

"You held umbrellas for me from below the stage," Jiang Chen sang, then suddenly looked up, his gaze falling on her, "and it was the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen."

The Singaporean girl froze, then burst into tears.

The person next to her helped her up, and their own eyes also reddened.

"Let all this rain fall," Jiang Chen continued, his voice rising to a climax, "soaking my clothes is a reward."

"Your act of lighting a lamp for me in the rain is the loudest response I have ever heard."

Many girls covered their faces with their hands, crying so hard they couldn't speak.

"Let all this rain fall," Jiang Chen sang, then suddenly stopped, like the silence after the rain, "washing away all my weariness and struggle."

He paused, and the entire audience held their breath.

"You cheered for me from below the stage," he said softly, as if sighing, "it was the most beautiful summer I've ever experienced."

The entire room fell silent for a moment, and then, like a volcanic eruption!

"Aaaaaaah!"

"Chenchen!"

"I'm dead!"

What's the name of this song?

"Requesting the full version!"

"Chenchen, release a single for me!"

"I'll buy tickets! I'll buy ten!"

"I'll buy a hundred!"

"I'll wait for you no matter how heavy the rain!"

Jiang Chen smiled as he held the microphone: "I haven't finished writing it yet. Once I'm done, I'll let you hear it first."

"good!"

"We're waiting for you!"

The host walked onto the stage. "Um... Jiang Chen, does your song have a name?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it 'Let the rain fall all down'."

Why?

Jiang Chen looked at the sea of ​​lights shimmering below the stage, his voice sincere and gentle.

"Today's heavy rain is the best gift you've given me, coming across mountains and seas to see me. And this song is my way of returning the favor."

The rain will stop, the storm will pass, but our passion will never fade. Year after year, I will sing, and you will listen. I hope we will always be together!

On August 2nd, Jiang Chen held a personal micro-interview.

Sina Weibo's micro-interview was the most popular celebrity interaction section on Sina Weibo in 2012. Prior to that, top Korean star Jang Geun-suk set a record of 312,578 questions in June.

In July, the price was broken again by the "Xuan-Yuan Sword" production team, which sold for 350,000!

At 2 PM, as Jiang Chen sat in front of his computer refreshing the page, the host next to him gasped in surprise.

The server had just started up when the number of questions exceeded 20,000 within 60 seconds.

"Is this a lot?" Jiang Chen leaned closer to the screen to take a look.

"Calculate."

The host showed him the real-time data page, saying, "Jang Keun Suk only made 23,000 in the first half hour of his show in June, but you made 20,000 in just one minute."

The micro-interview accumulated over 40 comments that day, breaking the record for mainland Chinese artists' micro-interviews set in 2012.

The viewership rating for "Swords of Legends" was 2.35%, and its daily viewership on Tencent Video exceeded 80 million.

November 3, Nanjing.

The arrival of Jiang Chen and Yang Mi paralyzed the Xinjiekou business district by 10 a.m.

The outdoor meet-and-greet venue at the entrance of Deji Plaza was originally only able to accommodate 3,000 people, but as early as 6 a.m., people laid out raincoats on the plaza to reserve their spots. Before the event started, security estimated that at least 8,000 people were crammed into the venue.

Traffic jams on several main roads in the surrounding area started at 9:30 a.m. and traffic police temporarily dispatched three squads to maintain order. At one point, half of Zhongshan South Road was closed.

The show received a 2.41% rating that night.

On August 4, Shandong TV and Tencent Video both released extended trailers for the finale.

In the three-minute trailer, the scenes of Penglai collapsing, Tusu's soul dissipating, and Qingxue leaving with her sword are edited into an extremely restrained montage. The background music uses only the pure piano version of "Kenshin". The last shot is of Baili Tusu in the wind and snow of Buzhou Mountain Dragon Tomb, his black robes fluttering. He looks at Qingxue and whispers, "I will not forget." Then his figure gradually disappears, the picture freezes, and the subtitles appear.

"The heart of a musician and the spirit of a sword are separated by a single thought."

A single trailer on Tencent Video garnered over 1500 million views within 24 hours.

The discussion thread on the Baidu Tieba forum "Gu Jian" grew from 8,000 to 62,000 posts, and the prediction threads for the ending on Tianya and Mop were featured on the homepage for two whole days.

The hashtag #GuJianFinale# on Weibo surged to the top of the trending topics list within four hours of the trailer's release.
