Looking at Su Zhengnan, who was glancing around suspiciously...
Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Su, who are you looking for?"
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "Looking for Chairman Zhou? Didn't you say Chairman Zhou was here?"
"Oh, you're looking for Jay Chou?"
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at him and explained, "He...he should be backstage right now. It's not his turn to go on stage yet, how could he possibly see us?"
"Uh, you're right!"
Su Zhengnan then realized what was happening and smiled to cover up his embarrassment.
It was at this moment.
The background music on stage had already started playing.
Standing on the stage, Cai Yilin turned around, took the microphone in her hand, and began to sing:
"In my dream, the air started to smoke."
"A perfect face slowly emerges from the haze."
Goodbye, Ugly Duckling. I'm going to turn over a new leaf.
"Human determination can overcome nature; dreams are within reach."
As the familiar melody began to play, Su Zhengnan's thoughts were immediately pulled back, as if he were suddenly reminded of his youth in his previous life.
The songs of this period were truly phenomenal, far surpassing the popularity of online songs in later generations.
On stage, Cai Yilin continued singing:
"Today, fresh, change, goodbye!"
"Beauty has no limits; the love of beauty has no end."
"Pursuing perfection is the ultimate goal; if people don't love beauty, they'll be struck down by heaven and earth."
Don't be discouraged, throw away your old ideas.
"Start making changes now, and even sparrows can fly to the sky."
"It doesn't matter, who cares about defects or not."
"Raise your nose a little higher, then the air will be fresher."
"........"
Sitting to the side, Liu Yifei hummed along softly to Cai Yilin's singing, but her voice was completely drowned out by the music.
Actually, it wasn't just her; all the girls in the audience were humming along.
As Su Zhengnan listened to this song, he reminisced about his past life and couldn't help but sigh softly, as if recalling the past or lamenting what had happened.
On stage, Cai Yilin danced and sang, but she still looked a bit immature and couldn't compare to her future self.
This reminded Su Zhengnan of the joke about someone in the audience shouting "Ah ah" when Cai Yilin sang "Agent J".
However, the song "Agent J" was released in 2007.
I guess it hasn't been written yet, right?
Why don't you write the song yourself and sell it to them?
Su Zhengnan thought about it for a moment and quickly gave up the idea, because he didn't understand composing or arranging music at all, and even if he remembered the lyrics, he might not be able to write them down.
The idea that one can write a melody just by remembering the lyrics is a false notion.
Can you sing the tune just because you wrote the lyrics?
That's not necessarily true!
If you were to learn composition or arrangement, it would take a considerable amount of time.
Therefore, Su Zhengnan gave up after only thinking about it for a moment. He didn't have time to deal with these things, but he would be fine with writing lyrics for them.
Suddenly, Liu Yifei, who was beside him, gently nudged him and asked with a smile:
"Brother Su, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Su Zhengnan snapped out of his reverie, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past."
Liu Yifei smiled slightly and asked, "By the way, Brother Su, didn't you say you know Jay Chou? Could you take me to meet him later?"
"What do you want to see him for? Are you a fan?"
Su Zhengnan found it a bit strange, "You're not a Jay Chou fan, are you?"
Liu Yifei said with a grin, "I'm not a fan of Jay Chou, but I am a fan of Sister Cai Yilin. I heard that Jay Chou and she have a good relationship, and now they are both here to attend our school anniversary celebration. If you take me to see Jay Chou, then I can see Cai Yilin later, right?"
"Okay, so this is your roundabout way of being a fan?"
Su Zhengnan shrugged helplessly and said, "Alright, let's go backstage later and see if we can see Jie Lun."
Snap snap snap...
By this time, Cai Yilin on stage had finished singing the entire song.
A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience, with countless students from the Beijing Film Academy shouting their approval.
"Cai Yilin, Cai Yilin, Cai Yilin....."
"Cai Yilin, I love you!"
"One more song! One more song!"
"Cai Yilin, one more song..."
It turns out that even actors and celebrities are fans, let alone these students!
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Cai Yilin smiled sweetly and waved to everyone, saying:
"Thank you all for your support, but today is your school anniversary, and we need to leave time for your classmates to perform, so I won't continue singing. Bye-bye! Thank you everyone!"
With that, Cai Yilin turned and walked off the stage.
Immediately afterwards, the intro to "In the Name of the Father" began to play on stage, and Jay Chou walked onto the stage wearing a bright red jacket.
“Ave maria grazia ricevuta per la mia famiglia.”
"Con risentito con un'amorevole divino amen."
“Grazie chiedo a te o signore divino.”
An Italian voice was spoken at the beginning.
Those who don't understand Italian won't be able to understand its meaning and can only look up the lyrics online or just listen to the melody.
Then, a sharp "Ah... Ah... Ah..." rang out.
Jay Chou picked up the microphone, waved one hand, and began to sing:
"The cool morning dew dampened his black tuxedo, and the stone path was shrouded in mist as his father whispered."
"A helpless realization can only make things more cruel; everything is for the sake of the path to the sanctuary."
"The fog that cannot be blown away has lost its purpose; who gently paces and stops?"
"Before I could even cry, the bullet that passed through me took away my warmth."
"We are all sinners, each committing different sins."
"I can decide who is right and who should sleep."
To be honest, many people don't appreciate this song, nor do they understand the meaning of its lyrics.
This song wasn't considered one of his biggest hits in China.
However, abroad, the song premiered simultaneously on more than 50 radio stations across Asia, reaching 800 million listeners at the same time.
At the same time, this song will also win the Best Arrangement Award for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese at the 4th Pepsi Music Awards next year.
In fact, "In the Name of the Father" is the first of Jay Chou's dark trilogy and a universally recognized masterpiece in the Chinese music scene, but it is difficult for ordinary people to appreciate it.
However, none of this mattered to Su Zhengnan, and he couldn't understand the song either.
A group of male students in the audience listened with great excitement, waving their hands and shouting, "Jerlen, Jeren, I love you!"
Jay Chou stood on the stage, singing and walking around. He soon noticed Su Zhengnan sitting in the audience and waved to him with a smile.
The students sitting in Su Zhengnan's direction thought Jay Chou was waving at them, so they shouted even more enthusiastically.
Su Zhengnan simply smiled and nodded, responding to Zhou Jielun's gaze.
A song lasts only a few minutes and ends quickly.
After Jay Chou came off the stage.
Su Zhengnan stood up and said to Liu Yifei, "Let's go see Chairman Zhou."
"Okay!"
Liu Yifei smiled and got up to follow him out of his seat. They then went to the temporary dressing room set up behind the stage, where they met Jay Chou and Cai Yilin.
This is, after all, the anniversary celebration of the Beijing Film Academy, not a concert.
Therefore, entry backstage wasn't that strict, especially since their performance had already ended.
"Jerlen, long time no see!"
Su Zhengnan greeted Zhou Jielun with a smile.
"Oh, Dr. Su, what brings you here? And who is this...?"
When Jay Chou saw Liu Yifei, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Although Liu Yifei had acted in several TV series before, Jay Chou rarely paid attention to these domestic TV series; he was more focused on movies and music.
In addition, "Chinese Paladin 1" is still being filmed and has not yet been broadcast.
Naturally, Jay Chou wouldn't recognize Liu Yifei.
Su Zhengnan introduced with a smile: "She is my friend, Liu Yifei, who is also a student at the Beijing Film Academy. She especially likes you and Cai Yilin, so she wanted to come and see you."
"I see. It's nice to meet you, Yifei."
Jay Chou smiled and nodded.
Liu Yifei nodded in response, but her gaze remained fixed on Cai Yilin beside her.
Cai Yilin felt her gaze and smiled slightly. She stepped forward and asked Zhou Jielun, "Jielun, are these two your friends?"
Zhou Jielun nodded and pointed to Su Zhengnan, introducing him: "This is Dr. Su Zhengnan. He saved my life last time. Moreover, Dr. Su has a lot of experience in health preservation, and I am currently learning how to preserve my health from him!"
"Oh, really?"
Cai Yilin smiled and reached out to shake hands with Su Zhengnan, saying, "Hello, I'm Cai Yilin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, I am Su Zhengnan."
Su Zhengnan reached out his hand, smiled slightly, and nodded.
Then, Cai Yilin shook hands with Liu Yifei, and excitedly exclaimed:
"Sister Yilin, can I take a picture with you? I really love the way you sing!"
"Okay!"
Cai Yilin turned to look at Zhou Jielun, smiled, and agreed to Liu Yifei's request.
"Wow, thank you, Sister Yilin."
Liu Yifei took out her phone and stood next to Cai Yilin, then took a photo together.
In terms of looks, Liu Yifei is definitely prettier than Cai Yilin.
So Cai Yilin was also attracted by her looks. After taking the photos, he said with a smile, "Yifei, you look like a fairy. You're so cute. How about we exchange contact information?"
"Okay, okay!"
Liu Yifei nodded excitedly and exchanged contact information with the other party.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan chatted with Zhou Jielun for a few minutes, and after learning that he had something to do and had to leave, he did not disturb him any further.
In fact, Jay Chou and Cai Yilin were invited to attend the Beijing Film Academy's anniversary celebration at the last minute, as they had to rush to the next location to record a program.
Therefore, after removing their makeup, the two of them hurriedly left the Beijing Film Academy without even having lunch.
This is probably the helplessness of being an artist!
Don't be fooled by their glamorous appearances in front of the audience; everyone has to work hard to make a living.
Of course, Jay Chou is no longer included in this list.
He was simply busy promoting his songs.
