Chapter 42, Better to Die for Your Fellow Daoist Than for Yourself

Experts need to maintain a certain level of sophistication!

Or perhaps it's the prestige that makes someone a master!

Take Li Zongsheng, for example. He is known as a musical genius not only because his musical works are classics, but also because of the fascinating stories surrounding him…

Even decades later, it is still talked about by fans.

During a flight, I had a chance encounter with a flight attendant who had an outstanding presence.

Bored during the journey, Li Zongsheng began to have romantic fantasies: what would it be like to start a relationship with her?

As their flight neared its final destination, the two were about to part ways, and thus, the timeless classic "Bewitched" was born.

Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian developed feelings for each other while working together on "When Love Has Become the Past".

At that time, Li already had a wife, Zhu Weiyin, and this scandal spread like wildfire in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, putting him under immense public pressure.

Unable to bear the rumors, Lin Yilian sold her Hong Kong property and went to Vancouver, Canada, to escape the world.

Li chased her to Vancouver and arrived at her apartment building late at night, but Lin Yilian refused to see him, keeping the door closed.

On a bitterly cold Canadian winter night, Li Zongsheng waited all night in the cold wind downstairs, his heart torn between grievances and obsessions. This experience gave birth to the melody and lyrics.

Upon returning to his residence, Li Zongsheng wrote the classic song "For You I Endured the Cold Wind";

and so…

Jiangnan believes that if you want to elevate your status, you must create memorable moments. Even if you're just acting, you must put on a series of legendary stories that will be talked about by people both inside and outside the industry.

That's why we had that scene earlier where Wang Zuxian was talking about her feelings in the noodle shop, and Jiangnan was sitting across from her, writing down a very fitting song called "Can't Say Goodbye"!

How fitting is the song "Can't Say Goodbye"?

  

Please look at these two lines of lyrics: "I can't bear to see you turn your back to me. If you have to leave, please don't be too attached. Like the ebb and flow of the tide, how can there be no longing? We are so heartbroken that we can't say goodbye."

This is practically a real-life recreation of the scene when Wang Zuxian and Qi Qin broke up!

Even so, Jiangnan had no intention of giving the song to Wang Zuxian to sing.

That's right!

This beautiful woman did release a Japanese single earlier this year, and it seems to have sold quite well.

However, as a seasoned professional in the industry, Jiang Nan knew exactly how bad Wang Zuxian's singing was.

Struggling with high notes, having weak breath control, lacking singing skills, unable to control the stage, perform vocal transitions, or handle vibrato and dynamics properly, especially when singing songs with large melodic fluctuations... it's a complete disaster.

"Quickly, Jiangnan, answer me!"

"Did you write this song based on my emotional experiences?" Wang Zuxian asked, blinking her eyes.

"yes!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Your creative talent is truly amazing. I was just talking about my relationship experiences, and you directly used mine to write this song.

"Hmm... Tomorrow morning, we'll go back to Hong Kong Island and find a recording studio to record this song." When Jiang Nan wrote this song, he used a noodle shop's menu. At this moment, Wang Zuxian was holding onto the menu tightly and wouldn't let go.

I'm afraid that if I let go, this song will be gone.

"that…"

Jiangnan hesitated for a moment, wanting to tell her directly that her voice would ruin a classic, but he couldn't bear to hurt the beauty's feelings. So, he came up with a dirty trick: "better to sacrifice a friend than myself."

"Sister Zuxian, were you very close to Leslie Cheung?"

"yes!"

"Then I think you should show this song to him and let Leslie Cheung analyze it from a professional perspective, and tell you how you should interpret it?"

Jiangnan's idol is Leslie Cheung. He studied him extensively in his past life. He has a gentle personality, likes to mentor younger generations and help others, but he is also straightforward with his friends, basically saying whatever comes to mind.

He relentlessly criticized Wang Fei's gambling habits, Wang Zuxian's height, and Chow Yun-fat's quirks.

When Wang Zuxian took "Can't Say Goodbye" to Leslie Cheung, she probably would have been "criticized" and frustrated on the spot.

Wang Zuxian was naturally unaware of Jiangnan's ulterior motives. Overjoyed, she not only agreed to go see Leslie Cheung the next day to have him teach her to sing, but also dragged Jiangnan back to the noodle shop.

"Jiangnan, Aunt Sun's crabs are so delicious. I had them once at the family banquet after my brother's engagement, and I still remember them fondly."

"besides…

You wrote such a great song for me, I absolutely have to peel some crabs for you.

Let me tell you, I can peel crabs really fast; I can take two big crabs off the clam completely in a minute and a half.

Hahaha…

Jiangnan wanted to laugh when he heard the beautiful woman showing off!

"That's because I was kind enough not to take advantage of your skills today; otherwise, you'd have to practice for another three years."

※※※※※※※※※※※

Jiangnan

He is from Huainan, Anhui Province, and is 19 years old this year.

He is currently studying acting at the Central Academy of Drama, but he has loved music since childhood and has considerable skill in instruments such as the erhu, guitar, and suona.

On September 14th of this year, she officially signed with Red Star Production, a music company founded by Chen Jiantian in mainland China, becoming the company's second singer.

His original music works include "Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road," "The First Tear," and "Single Love Song," which topped the charts nationwide, as well as the English rock song "New Divide," which became a hit in Japan…

If you want to investigate someone carefully, it couldn't be simpler.

Just two nights later, Shi Nansheng obtained all the information about the boy staying in room 606 of the Junyi Hotel.

At first, she was a little skeptical.

Is the guy practicing Tai Chi at the elevator entrance trying to get my attention?

Those in the industry know that Tsui Hark's film studio has long-term private rooms at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and he also likes to exercise by walking up stairs... Knowing these two points, it's not difficult to create a chance encounter.

Putting aside other things, this is how Chow Yun-fat was discovered by the higher-ups at TVB. They would see a tall, thin, and handsome guy every time they rode the elevator.

However, when Shi Nansheng investigated Jiangnan's background through his connections in the industry, he realized that he had been overthinking things.

This boy was brought from the mainland by Chen Jiantian to film a music video in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

With good looks, kung fu skills, original music talent, and excellent acting skills, Xu Ke listened to several songs sung by Jiang Nan on the radio yesterday.

Listening to his enunciation and pronunciation, and his control over his breath, one can see that Jiang Nan has an exceptionally high level of vocal skill. Take "Single Love Song" for example: with its continuous high notes and dense enunciation, Jiang Nan's lyrics still manage to evoke a very strong sense of imagery for the listener.

Of course, the fact that it was recorded in a recording studio also played a role, but it is undeniable that his skill level is several levels higher than Zhao Wenzhuo's.

Sitting in his office, Shi Nansheng was lost in thought when suddenly the internal phone on his desk rang.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Hello!"

"Ms. Shi, this is the front desk. The guest in room 606, whom you asked me to keep a close eye on, has returned and just stepped into the elevator."

He came back on his own.

"Okay, I understand."

Shi Nansheng agreed, hung up the phone, and went to the inner room of the office, where he found Xu Ke, who was holding a meeting with the filming team.

"Director Xu, Jiangnan is back."

Jiangnan…

Upon hearing this name, Xu Laoguai was taken aback for a moment, then put down his ballpoint pen and said to everyone:

"You guys need to think about the script for 'Once Upon a Time in China: The Dragon City Annihilation.' I have something to take care of, I'll be right back."

After saying that, without even looking at everyone's reaction, he hurriedly followed Shi Nansheng out of the studio.
