"Oh~~~"
"Go Wang Yueheng! I like you!"
"How lucky!"
"I've heard your latest song, it's amazing!!"
Upon hearing this, the local Hong Kong Island diners and the few blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign guests who were dining in the restaurant put down their cutlery and applauded and cheered.
Everyone's eyes, including the waiters at the door, were now fixed on Wang Yueheng's direction on one side of the hall.
"Huh? Isn't he that mainland celebrity who came to Hong Kong Island this morning and acted like a diva?"
"Why would Mr. Cha Yong invite him to dinner? Could he have been deceived by him too?"
"You can know a person's face but not their heart."
Aside from the enthusiastic cheers, there was also a discordant note from the crowd.
Several local Hong Kong diners, unaware of the facts, showed disdain when talking about the news that the mainland celebrity had acted arrogantly at the airport that morning and deliberately threw away fans' gifts.
Although there were some criticisms of the singer's actions.
But out of a sense of so-called good manners, these people had no choice but to keep their voices down and discuss it in private.
“This matter cannot be generalized. As a police officer, I fully support Mr. Wang Yueheng’s approach.”
"Celebrities, in particular, should stay away from items of unknown origin."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these negative comments appeared, a white guest sitting not far away turned around and took the initiative to speak to Wang Yueheng, explaining the situation.
"Thank you, I understand!"
Seeing this white police officer from Hong Kong Island suddenly defend Wang Yueheng.
Several Hong Kong guests who had initially expressed reservations about the mainland singer immediately fell silent and responded with polite smiles.
Deep down, they still held onto a certain prejudice and did not agree with the other party's statement.
But if Wang Yueheng were replaced by an American or Hong Kong singer, they might believe the white police officer's story...
...
"Waaaaah~~~"
Amidst the excited anticipation or skeptical and disdainful glances of the diners below the stage.
After a brief rehearsal, the live band officially began playing according to Wang Yueheng's score.
Standing next to Wang Yueheng, Mo Zixue was the first to raise her flute to her lips and play a melodious tune.
As the clear sound of the whistle rang out, the last remaining commotion in the hotel restaurant vanished instantly.
Like a thin mist quietly spreading through the trees, it instantly suppressed the clamor of the world.
The atmosphere of ancient martial arts is immediately immersing you in the story.
The moment the whistle sounded, at the hotel lobby manager's signal, the waiter immediately dimmed the lights in the room.
The once tranquil indoor restaurant was instantly transformed into a small performance venue.
All the diners subconsciously put down their cutlery and looked up at Mo Zixue, who was standing in the direction of the restaurant's orchestra, playing the flute.
Cha Yong, holding a notebook with lyrics written on it, looked at the young mainland singer with a smile.
"Jianghu Laughter"
"A feud is settled."
"A battle of wits"
"A smile can hide a knife..."
Wang Yueheng began to sing along with the band.
The hall, which was originally decorated in a classic style, was immediately filled with a retro martial arts atmosphere.
What surprised these Hong Kong Island or foreign diners even more was...
A floating projection appeared on the wall behind Wang Yueheng, displaying every lyric of the song he sang.
In addition, the scene of swords flashing and shadows lingered in the background as Wang Yueheng performed live.
Familiar figures flashed across the screen, much like the images on an early black-and-white television.
Curious diners looked up and searched, but couldn't find the source of the projected beam.
Even the hotel manager and waiters were stunned by this sudden, magical scene.
My hotel doesn't seem to have such advanced equipment. Is it alien technology?
Although Wang Yueheng did not sing a Cantonese song.
However, through the interpretation of the on-site subtitles and projected images, coupled with familiarity with Mr. Cha Yong's work "The Return of the Condor Heroes", it was possible to gain a deeper understanding of the story.
Every diner present understood the lyrics and emotions of the young man's song without any difficulty.
"Bright Moon Shines"
The road is long and arduous.
People get old.
"The heart never grows old..."
When singing this part...
A desolate scene of a full moon hanging high suddenly appeared on the snow-white wall.
One of the heroes, wielding a long sword and dressed in flowing robes, walked along the long road under the moonlight.
This scene instantly captivated the diners in the audience who had read Mr. Cha Yong's original novel, "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
It reminded me of the scene in this story where Yang Zhiguo, the Condor Hero, was searching for Xiaolongnu.
Because he misunderstood that his disciple had fallen in love with Xiaolongnu and left heartbroken, the chivalrous Yang Zhiguo went through countless twists and turns in the martial arts world in order to find her.
During this time, he encountered the Divine Condor and learned the astonishing Dugu Sword Technique, greatly improving his martial arts skills.
However, just as the two reunited at the Cliff of Heartbreak, Yang Zhiguo was poisoned and faced a life-or-death test.
In order to save Yang Zhiguo's life, Xiaolongnu secretly made a sixteen-year promise to him before jumping off a cliff to find the antidote.
Sixteen years have passed, and the renowned Condor Hero has grown old.
But his passionate love for Xiaolongnu never grew old...
