Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 481 Wedding Arrangements.

Lying in bed, Zhao Ze tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Li Can's move was indeed completely unexpected.

As expected, but without any warning.

The image of someone who fears his brother's hardship, yet also fears his brother driving a Land Rover, is vividly embodied in Zhao Ze.

"No way! How did they get married?! And the timing was all set so precisely?!"

Zhao Ze suddenly sprang up from the bed.

"No way! How the hell did I not know anything about this?!"

Take out your phone.

I discovered that QQ has crashed.

Chen Gang sent countless messages.

You don't know either?!

Holy crap, damn it.

【No, are they really going to get married right away?】

[No, I can understand Li Can, but what's wrong with Lin Feng?]

【Zezi, are you alright?】

I've thought about it for a long time but still can't figure it out!

[Damn it, these bastards are playing dead and not replying!]

You're not replying anymore!

Zhao Ze couldn't hold back any longer.

It's clear that Chen Gang has gone mad.

Zhao Ze's reply was concise and to the point, as he tapped away on the keyboard.

I fucking don't understand either!

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Li Can was very happy at that moment.

In the hotel suite, Li Can scrolled through his phone, laughing and joking with Winnie.

"Look, screenshots from fans."

"and this!"

Winnie held up her phone, her mischievous grin mirroring Li Can's.

The phone displayed the artistic emojis of Chen Gang and Zhao Ze after announcing their marriage.

When will the organizers send us the original recording files?

Winnie stood up, then sat down again, shifted her legs, and leaned back against the sofa.

Winnie initially refused, feeling that Li Can was like a child and that his actions were childish.

But after actually playing it, I discovered...
It was actually quite enjoyable.

Especially when repeatedly admiring Chen Gang and Zhao Ze's meme-worthy expressions, their artistic level of facial expression management is enough to make people laugh out loud.

"It's here! It's here! Hurry!"

Li Can clicked to receive the file.

The laptop almost exploded.

The video source files for such a large-scale performance are enormous; the source files for 4K multi-angle, multi-camera performances are measured in terabytes (TB).

"oops!"

Winnie patted her head regretfully.

It seems I'll have to go back to work and study the source files then.

"Check out what netizens are saying, I have a feeling this might become a trending topic tomorrow."

Winnie urged Li Can on.

Li Can opened the webpage.

He glanced at it and then chuckled.

"No need for tomorrow, it's already on."

"Wow, that's a lot of likes."

After casually browsing the comments, Li Can and Winnie moved on to their creator backend accounts on the music platform.

There is a difference between the live version and the recorded version. Although only one new song was performed in this show, it was still recorded in real time and the live version was released as quickly as possible.

The live versions are compiled into a separate free album, making it easier to view some digital content.

The account has started refreshing its data.

The studio and live versions of "Wonderful Tonight" are far ahead in terms of data.

Everyone is familiar with old songs, so people are naturally curious about new songs. What's more, this new song is truly amazing.

Open the comments section.

The artwork featured is exclusively designed for DP band fans.

Don't let Chan-ge's abstract personality fool you; he truly understands romance.

Because I see the inextinguishable love burning in your eyes.

Wow, is this rock music? Can rock music really be this gentle?

Li Can has once again proven that there are no niche music styles, only niche musical works.

[I was already drunk within the first three seconds.]

[That guitar playing was divine, absolutely brilliant!]

Damn, Winnie is so handsome, and Chan is so handsome too. They're such a perfect match.

[I burst out laughing after reading the lyrics, "Her beautiful blonde hair was styled in a bun"—isn't that a blatant attempt to promote herself? Just thinking about Lin Feng and Han Jiayin singing for Li Can and Winnie makes me want to scream.]

[Hahahaha, holy crap, it really is! I don't need to say who the blonde is, right?]

[I really couldn't hold back during this performance. Chen Gang and Zhao Ze are part of the other four's act, but aren't Lin Feng and Han Jiayin also part of Li Can and Winnie's act?]

Scrolling through layers upon layers of comments.

Li Can and Winnie exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha."

The phone rang suddenly.

I originally thought Gangzi was about to lose control.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the people in question were acquaintances.

First it was Zheng Jie, then Chen Meijing, followed by Henry, Cassius, and Okali.

Professor Xu Qing even made three phone calls, which were busy, before sending a QQ message with the window shaking.

[Answer the phone!!]

"Master, hehe."

"You little rascal, if I hadn't seen your concert, I wouldn't have known you were getting married!"

Professor Xu Qing's tone was clearly somewhat warm and stern.

Such a big thing happened so suddenly.

There was absolutely no news.

"How much do you plan to ask your master to give you as a gift?"

"A thousand or eight hundred is fine, Master, I'm not greedy."

"I won't be greedy for you, cough cough cough!!"

"Master, don't worry, you are one of the key people giving the blessing!"

The phone kept ringing off the hook.

The sudden bursts of blessings often carried a hint of personal grudges.

This wave of events not only affected Chen Gang and Zhao Ze, but also their parents, friends, and elders.

Seeing Li Can covered in sweat and smiling apologetically.

Winnie smiled happily and walked towards the wine cabinet.

No vodka today, but I have port.

Tawny port is sweet with a caramelized nutty aroma, and its 19% alcohol content can make you feel slightly tipsy.

After Li Can finally finished the call, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Winnie poured Li Can a glass and sat down next to him.

For a moment, it was surprisingly quiet.

Li Can suddenly smiled.

"Da Nizi".

"Ok?"

"I want to hear you play the guitar."

"Okay, then I'll play it for you."

It was still an electric guitar, but the volume wasn't very loud.

The song is still "Wonderful Tonight".

"I plan to have Gangzi and the others be flower girls at the wedding."

"Hehe, sure."

If it's a Western-style wedding, what style of wedding dress would you like?

"Rococo skirt, crown!"

"Then I'll pair it with riding boots, a cane, a jabot at the neckline of the vest, and a fitted coat that can show off the beautiful gilded vest. Forget the wig, but a top hat is fine. Tsk, anyone who doesn't know better would think it's a medieval queen's wedding."

During a break in the music.

The two chatted in hushed tones.

The basic framework of the wedding has been set; all that's missing are the details.

The invited guests have also been confirmed.

In fact, the invitations are already being made; only the dates have been left out. Once the dates are confirmed, the hand-stamped gold lettering will be added. There aren't many guests, so each one will have their own unique design.

What about a traditional Chinese wedding?

"Of course it's a phoenix robe! Wow, so cool! Give me a crown! Two crowns!"

Winnie excitedly gestured with her hands above her head.

There are many things to consider when getting married. Besides choosing a church, a Western-style wedding also requires hiring a priest—specifically, a priest who isn't interested in little boys.

This has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not; it's mainly about whether it exists or not.

For a first wedding, the sense of ceremony should definitely be maximized.

Just like the etiquette arrangements in a traditional Chinese wedding, it even requires training in deportment with a teacher, such as paying respects to heaven and earth and bowing to one's parents.

Even the design of the pastries was handled by professionals.

For example, an eight-tiered snow cake for a Western-style wedding, or a fondant figurine, an intangible cultural heritage item, for a Chinese-style wedding.

There are many details.

Before we knew it, it was already late at night.

Although it was late at night, the two were still discussing the wedding design with great enthusiasm, showing no signs of fatigue.

After resting, it was already 3 p.m. the next day when I got up again.

Li Can and Winnie will no longer need to worry about the work ahead; Xingmei, Tencent, and other parties will handle everything.

After we've eaten.

It's getting late.

The two then got carried away and went to the desert night market together.

The venue has been cleaned up very thoroughly, and the original inner area has been re-filled with night market stalls.

The main stage wasn't demolished, and it was still packed with people tonight.

There is no other reason.

Of the more than four thousand musicians, at least a thousand were reluctant to leave. Led by two third wheels, they came to the performance venue and started a roadside band performance.

You can see a wave of them after taking just a few steps.

The main stage was naturally reserved for the most established and popular bands to perform in turn.

This was a spontaneous, purely recreational performance, but inexplicably, Li Can's DP band's large-scale concert, fueled by this, seems to have begun to form a unique music festival culture.

Li Can and Winnie were unaware that Dunhuang had already begun urgently supplementing the detailed plan for the "Desert Music Festival".

This wave has been so successful that it would be a waste not to take this opportunity to establish a unique music festival culture.

"I'm telling you, Li Can! He's not human!!"

"I threw a punch, and his martial arts spirit was shattered!"

"I had a brain fart and just let myself go. I was so disgusted I wanted to vomit. They were showing off their love, and I looked like a complete clown!!"

A familiar voice was shouting explosively.

Yes, he drank too much with his mother.

Li Can took a closer look.

On the stage, the drummer of Metal Storm and the guitarist of Thrash Band were playing together, Zhao Ze was playing bass, and Chen Gang was singing haphazardly on keyboard.

"Why don't I know? Why don't I know anything!"

"We can't find them!"

"Holy shit!!"

Yes, it was an impromptu solo, with no skillful displays, and the rhythm was even a bit off, with the singer singing slightly off-key.

But instead of expressing dissatisfaction, the audience burst into laughter.

Li Can chuckled, nudged Winnie, and whispered.

"Let's go."

"Let's go, let's go. I feel like you'll get beaten up if you show up."

The young couple made up their minds and immediately slipped away, pretending they had never been there.

As I left, I could still hear the loud laughter and Chen Gang's wailing.

"Li Can! I'll fuck you! You idiot! You bastard!"

This kind of spontaneous music festival-style entertainment really allowed Chen Gang to let loose and express himself.

Li Can decided to return to Beijing with Winnie first.

Wedding preparations.

They left without warning, leaving behind invisible exhaust fumes for Chen Gang and Zhao Ze.

Six days had passed by the time Chen Gang and Zhao Ze returned to Xingmei Studio.

Upon entering, Chen Gang saw Li Can and Winnie sitting together, fiddling with stacks of documents on the table. Having just vented his anger, Chen Gang's defenses crumbled once again.

A furious roar announced the king's return, filled with rage and ferocity.

"Li Can!"

"You mean this? I'd completely forgotten about it."

Li Can looked up, grinning.

"Come on, Gangzi, what would you like to eat? We'll make you a lot for the wedding."

"Spicy braised pork. No, damn it, Li Can, you've already forgotten what I asked for?!"

Chen Gang couldn't hold back any longer.

But Li Can simply raised his hand.

Chen Gang endured it for the sake of the braised pork.

What else? Shall we fight?

"."

Chen Gang curiously peeked over.

as predicted.

The files on the desktop are all wedding program designs.

Chen Gang felt a sudden pang of sadness for no apparent reason. He silently walked back to the table, turned on his computer, and went straight to the female anchor's live stream.

Your favorite streamer hasn't started streaming yet!

"Me, oh you?"

Chen Gang silently shut down his computer, examined his luck with women, and began to doubt his life, feeling that he might have become a fake celebrity.

Li Can and Winnie were laughing, but Chen Gang only thought they were being noisy.

Time passed little by little.

The internet is very popular.

The phenomenon it sparked was so popular that it was even reported by CCTV News.

The successful concert established the "Desert Music Festival" brand, and through local operations, desert night markets, the unique environment, and the flame ignited by the DP band, it seems to have become one of the holy sites for star concerts.

In the past, tourism consumption was simply boosted by concerts.

Now it has evolved to the point of establishing cultural symbols, which can even help build an entire system.

There are no DPs in the martial arts world, but it seems like DPs are everywhere.

But most of the DP bands went unnoticed.

By the end of October.

Almost 95% of everything related to the wedding has been finalized.

Waiting for the custom-made clothing and other items to be completed.

at this time.

Dai Ying, far across the ocean.

An assistant knocked on an office at the Royal Academy of Music.

"Bang bang."

"Enter!"

The assistant opened the door and handed a sealed letter to the elderly man wearing round-framed glasses in the office.

"Dean Henry, this is a letter from Xia Guo, delivered through the London branch of Global Music."

"Xia Kingdom?"

Old Henry pushed up his glasses, and his heart suddenly started racing.

Put down what you're doing and take the document.

Upon opening the lacquered seal, three photos, a letter, and a thin bag came into view.

The assistant sensibly left the office and closed the door.

Sir Henry was somewhat stunned.

Upon opening the envelope, an invitation in both Chinese and English popped out.

Sir Henry:

I am deeply grateful for your kindness and care; your kindness is as vast as the sea.

Your protégé, Li Can, will be marrying Winnie Regina in Moscow on January 6th, and we cordially invite you to attend.

I would rather receive your blessing than the Lord.
-
Li Can.

Henry's hand trembled, and his nose stung with tears.

The overwhelming emotion almost brought tears to old Henry's eyes.

But the image of Li Can's smirking face, as if he were laughing at himself, immediately dispelled any feelings of being moved.

The three photos are very simple.

A photo of the two of them when they first met Li Can, a photo of them when they were awarded degrees after completing their exchange, and a photo of Li Can and Winnie.

Open the thin bag.

Shu brocade double-sided embroidery.

The front side was his own face, while the back side was Li Can's face.

It actually has the artistic style of European oil painting portraits.

Old Henry suddenly stood up, carefully took the double-sided embroidery and invitation, walked out of the room, and went straight to the offices of his colleagues and several senior school officials.

The old gentleman's loud shouts echoed in the corridor, completely devoid of the dignified bearing of the old London Union Jack.

"Look! This is a gift my apprentice from the Xia Kingdom sent me!"

"Haha! Never seen this before, have you?!"

"How did you know my apprentice was getting married and wanted to invite me? And you even gave me this amazing little gift from Xia Kingdom?!"

"Where can I buy it? I don't know. My disciple gave it to me. Maybe I can ask for you when I get there."

"I need to review the January courses. Why, you ask? Well, it's because my Xia Kingdom disciple, Li Can, invited me to his wedding! Ah, what a grateful child he is, such excellent Xia Kingdom spirit!"
