Chapter 1131 A Duet with the Tyrant on Set, Recreating a Classic Song Listening to the shouts of the theater audience, Wang Yueheng glanced at Director Zhou An beside him, and a thought struck him.
He then picked up the microphone and said, "Thank you all for liking 'A Lifetime of Love' so much. This song's creation is inseparable from the soul that Director Zhou's film gave it. So, I would like to invite Director Zhou to sing this song with me. What do you all say?"
"Whoosh—!"
The suggestion caused an uproar!
This was immediately followed by even more enthusiastic applause and cheers!
The other main creators on stage, such as Zhu Ying, the Bull Demon King, and Pigsy, were laughing so hard they were doubled over and clapping enthusiastically!
I've been subjected to the strict demands of Director Zhou, this "tyrant," on set every day, and today I finally had the chance to see the director "make a fool of himself"!
They knew all too well Director Zhou's "earth-shattering and ghost-weeping" singing voice.
Director Zhou An was clearly taken aback by Wang Yueheng's move. He paused for a moment, then pointed at Wang Yueheng and laughed, "You were waiting for me here!"
But he was a man who had seen it all. Looking at the expectant eyes of the audience and the gloating actors around him, he waved his hand with a flourish: "I'll sing! But I warn you, don't regret it later!"
The staff quickly brought over two standing microphones and the sheet music for "A Lifetime of Love".
Wang Yueheng and Zhou An briefly divided the song into sections, with Zhou An singing the first half of the verses and Wang Yueheng taking over the second half and the chorus.
The melodious yet poignant prelude filled the venue, instantly silencing the previously noisy theater.
Director Zhou An took a deep breath, leaned closer to the microphone, and sang the first line:
"The past is gone and will never return."
To everyone's surprise!
Although Director Zhou's voice wasn't exactly professional, and was even a bit dry and off-key, it was exceptionally earnest.
It carries a profound emotion that is completely different from his usual "tyrant" image and belongs to the creator himself.
It was as if he wasn't singing, but slowly telling a story he had created himself.
"Red fallen leaves buried deep in the dust"
"The beginning and the end are always the same."
"You drift beyond the white clouds in the sky..."
He sang with some difficulty, but his sincerity unexpectedly touched many people.
The cast and crew members in the audience stopped laughing and joking, and listened quietly, their eyes revealing complex emotions towards the director.
However, when Wang Yueheng raised the microphone and sang the next line, the atmosphere of the entire scene suddenly changed!
"A sea of suffering, churning with love and hate—"
Just six words!
That clear, ethereal voice, seemingly piercing through time and space, carrying endless regret and compassion, came out.
It was as if everyone's soul had been gripped!
In stark contrast to director Zhou An's awkwardness, Wang Yueheng's singing was a true fusion of the singer and the song!
He perfectly portrayed the unforgettable yet unattainable love of Supreme Treasure, and the helplessness and sorrow of fate's cruel tricks!
"In this world, no one can escape fate—"
"A blind date, and they just couldn't get close to each other."
"Or perhaps I should believe it's fate..."
The singing echoed in the theater, and at the right moment, classic clips from "A Chinese Odyssey" began to play on the big screen.
Supreme Treasure dons the golden headband, Fairy Zixia floats towards the sun, and that regretful kiss on the city wall...
Beside her, the female lead, Zhu Ying, unknowingly had tears welling up in her eyes.
She listened to the song and watched the video.
It felt like I was back on the set of the drama where I played Zixia, and I felt the pain of unwavering devotion yet unrequited love.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, and as she was immersed in the scene of Zixia Fairy again, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
