I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 492 The Celestial Beauty in the Center Position

2021 years?
Probably!

I don't remember it very clearly.

There was once a song that was quite popular.

Sung by Zhang Qi and Zeng Li.

That song was written, composed, and sung by Longmeng Temple Kuankuan; Zeng Li and Zhang Qi were cover artists.

Yes, it's that song, Wujiapo...

In addition, Rain God and Zhang Qi also collaborated on this song.

However, Liu Jin felt that Zhang Qi and Zeng Li's version was better.

Hmm, perhaps it's because Zeng Li comes from a background in Qingyi (a type of female role in Peking Opera), which adds to her charm...

2004 was the Sino-French Year of Exchange.

Since we're going to sing Chinese songs, it would be best if they had Chinese characteristics.

Liu Jin then thought of this poem, Wujiapo.

Firstly, the opera elements in it are very Chinese; secondly, it's because Leslie Cheung had studied Peking Opera.

Cheng Dieyi was once a sensation in France.

He also wanted Leslie Cheung to amaze Paris once again in this way.

……

After reading the lyrics and sheet music several times, my brother roughly mastered the song.

It's a pity I don't have any tools...

With their existing instruments, it would not only be difficult to meet the requirements, but it would also have an impact.

So the two decided to sing a cappella!

Liu Jin walked to the center of the stage, gave a brief introduction to the song, and explained why it was sung a cappella.

The audience inside the venue showed great enthusiasm.

This was created on the spot!

Liu Jin's songs are very popular in Europe and America.

But this is the first time a song in Chinese has been sung.

Below the stage, Mr. An and the others also showed expressions of curiosity.

"Three sisters!"

Liu Jin's loud recitation rang out.

Mr. An narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Jin with some surprise.

Well, Liu Jin clearly hasn't received professional training, and he's a bit unprofessional.

But it did have that flavor!
"All the mistakes are my fault alone."

You you you you you you
Please forgive them!

Ah~ my wife

Wang's precious bracelet..."

In 2004, the concept of "Guofeng" (traditional Chinese style) had not yet truly taken shape.

But similar songs have actually already appeared.

As for Peking Opera singing... there were songs like "Singing Peking Opera Masks" as early as the 1990s.

Therefore, Mr. An was somewhat surprised by Liu Jin's use of opera singing style that incorporated elements of popular songs, but not too surprised.

But the audience in the stadium was hearing it for the first time.

That distinctively Chinese singing style attracted the vast majority of people.

Many people even recalled Leslie Cheung's performance in "Farewell My Concubine" and perked up.

As Liu Jin finished singing the lyrics, Leslie Cheung tiptoed and walked in an S-shape on the stage with a staggered gait before standing still in front of the microphone.

"Cheng Dieyi!"

Leonardo DiCaprio had seen "Farewell My Concubine" and couldn't help but cheer loudly.

That footwork alone is enough to impress.

Although Leslie Cheung wasn't dressed up, his every gesture and movement perfectly showcased the essence of femininity.

"Recalling those days, my tears never dry"
Auspicious marriage with embroidered balls and colorful decorations

Pinggui tamed the red-maned horse

The Tang Emperor appointed you as the Governor-General.

The Western Liang Kingdom rebelled.

My father went to the palace and presented this document.
Forcing you to don your armor and go to the front lines

"Torn apart like mandarin ducks, separated by the ends of the earth..."

Perhaps in the eyes of professionals, my brother is at most just an amateur.

Even so, it was enough to amaze the audience.

Every glance, every smile, every gesture.

Combined with his profound singing skills, he instantly ignited the atmosphere in the venue.

In this song, Liu Jin doesn't have many opportunities to perform; the focus is mainly on his brother.

He only needs to stand aside, concentrate on singing, and let all eyes be on his brother.

His brother did not disappoint him.

Even after more than a decade, he still demonstrated profound skill.

Stumbling steps, shuffling steps, quick steps, backward steps...

In a confined space, the performers showcased their basic skills as Qingyi and Huadan actresses to the fullest, drawing waves of applause.

After the song "Wujiapo" was finished, thunderous applause erupted in the venue.

"Thank you Melissa for giving me the opportunity to create this song with the style of Chinese opera, and thank you M6 for giving us such a stage to showcase Chinese culture. Thank you Leon and Matt for your support, and thank you even more to a Chinese child for their support."

I am Amos Liu Jin, the guitarist of the band Renatere!

May the friendship between China and France last forever in 2005!

Goodnight, Paris!

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he took Alizee's hand with one hand and Leslie Cheung's hand with the other.

Leslie Cheung then pulled Anita Mui along, and Anita Mui pulled Maggie along.

The five people bowed in gratitude in the center of the stage and then left.

However, before leaving, Liu Jin suddenly walked up to Melissa and gave her a tight hug.

He glared at Melissa with a smile.

Melissa looked at him with a guilty gaze and hugged him back tightly.

Just now, because of her willfulness, Liu Jin almost got into trouble!
Fortunately, Liu Jin handled it well, otherwise she would have felt terribly guilty...

Regardless, Renatere's debut was a great success.

After they left the stage, Liu Jin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Don't take me with you next time, I really can't handle it."

The older brother laughed and hugged Liu Jin.

Mei Gu and Maggie also praised him, saying that Liu Jin had performed exceptionally well.

Elena Holly also came over and praised, "Amos, was that Chinese song you just sang an opera?"

"Yes!"

"A very interesting singing style, especially Leslie. You made me feel like I was seeing Cheng Dieyi from back then."

The older brother smiled modestly and expressed his gratitude.

By this time, the party was coming to an end.

Xiao Li and the others arrived backstage through a special passage. As soon as they saw Liu Jin, he excitedly ran over and kept praising him.

"You were having fun cheering just now, weren't you?"

"I didn't... but you sang really well."

"You liar, you even said you're tone-deaf?"

"Haha, that depends on who you're comparing yourself to!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Jin greeted Matt Damon as well.

He also thanked him for taking care of Eva in America.

"Then write me a novel, so that Leon won't keep showing off 'Inception' to me all the time."

"Haha, I tried my best!"

Afterwards, Liu Jin expressed his gratitude to the two Kates and Jude Law.

"Mr. An!"

"Amos, congratulations."

Mr. An and his family of three also came backstage to congratulate Liu Jin.

"Amos, may I take a picture with you?"

The fairy who had been hiding behind Mr. An suddenly ran forward, looking at Liu Jin with a hopeful expression.

Liu Jin was stunned.

Wow, she's truly an angel!

He smiled and said, "Of course!"

Then he casually placed a hand on her shoulder and bent over.

Aunt Liu quickly took out her camera and started snapping away.

"Leon, Matt!"

Liu Jin suddenly called Leon and Matt Damon over, and the three of them surrounded the little fairy and took a group photo.

Then they called over the other members of the band to take a group photo with Xiao Tianxian.

The fairy was overjoyed, her smile revealing her gums.

Aunt Liu was even happier, because these photos would definitely greatly enhance the status of the "celestial beauty".

After all, judging solely from the photos, one would definitely think that the celestial being has a very close relationship with these people...

Wait, why are they being so nice to the celestial being?
Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat. Her gaze swept over Liu Jin and Xiao Lizi, finally settling on Liu Jin.

Leonardo DiCaprio's taste is known worldwide.

18-25, long-legged model...

The fairy is indeed beautiful, but she doesn't fit Leonardo DiCaprio's aesthetic.

Then, Liu Jin?

Liu Jin suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring intently at him. He glanced at Aunt Liu, then smiled and nodded at her.

"Old An, we're going out for drinks later, are you coming?"

Mr. An was somewhat tempted, but thinking of his ex-wife and daughter, he could only shake his head and refuse, saying, "It's getting late, I have to take them home."

Xiaoli and Xiaofeng came straight here after getting off the plane; they must be exhausted.

I'm not tired!

The celestial being roared inwardly.

She wants to go out and play...

But she also knew that her mother would never agree.

After all, she was only seventeen years old.

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief, took Tianxian's hand, and said goodbye to Liu Jin and the others.

The family of three left the backstage area, exited the stadium through a special passage, and headed straight for the parking lot.

Once in the car, Mr. An suddenly said, "Xiaoli, you were very impolite just now."

"what?"

"It is very impolite of you to look at Amos with that wary gaze."

I know you're doing this for Xiaofeng's own good.

but……

Xiao Liu isn't what you think. He's my brother, and he would never do anything out of line.

Yes, he's a bit of a womanizer.

But look at Alizee, or Eva Green, they've never said a bad word about him, which shows he's not as terrible as the newspapers and media portray him. The way you were acting like you were guarding against a thief... I'm not saying he's bad, but it depends on the person."

Liu Xiaoli's eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth to retort.

But the words stuck in his throat.

She did seem to have been a bit rude just now!
But I've gotten used to it!
When a man appears near her daughter, she becomes involuntarily wary.

There are a lot of perverts in America.

Upon returning to China, she discovered that the entertainment industry today seems quite complicated as well.

If it weren't for that godfather's protection, the celestial beauty might have been taken advantage of long ago, let alone have the resources she has now.

This made her even more cautious.

The main issue is Liu Jin's reputation...

But she could tell that Liu Jin didn't actually have any bad intentions towards Tianxian.

They even took photos with her, Leonardo DiCaprio, and her brother, which was actually a form of protection for the celestial being.

"I'm sorry, I..."

I will be more careful in the future.

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

The celestial being seemed a little confused and asked in bewilderment.

Mr. An sighed.

He also knew that his ex-wife was only doing this because she cared about their daughter.

"I'll treat Amos to a meal later; he won't mind."

After saying that, she turned to look at Tianxian and asked, "Xixi, are you tired?"

"Hmm, a little!"

I was actually quite sleepy a long time ago.

If it weren't for waiting for Liu Jin and the others to perform, I probably would have fallen asleep.

At this point, the excitement wore off, and weariness set in.

Tianxian nodded. "Dad, let's go back."

"it is good!"

Mr. An started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

"When are you going back? Why don't you stay here a few more days? I can take Xixi around too."

"The plane is the day after tomorrow."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Sisi took leave from the film crew to come here. It's not good to delay too long!"

Mr. An glanced at Aunt Liu, then at Tianxian sitting in the back, sighed softly, and stopped trying to persuade her.

Liu Xiaoli's idea is too righteous.

He didn't want to argue with her again in front of the fairy.

……

Melissa sent an apology text message.

Liu Jin replied to her and offered some words of comfort.

He and Leonardo DiCaprio and others found a bar and partied until almost dawn.

Then, after taking them to the hotel, he and Alizee returned to their residence in the Mahai district.

My brother and the others left ahead of time!

It's not that I'm not used to it, I'm just sleepy.

After all, they are not young anymore, and Anita Mui is not in good health, so she pays extra attention to her daily routine.

Maggie didn't care.

But considering Anita Mui, she didn't stay.

While Liu Jin and the others were resting, news articles about the Renate band appeared in major newspapers.

There were both positive and negative reviews, but overall the evaluation was good.

The comments on the band's performance and Leslie Cheung and Alizee's new song were mostly positive.

There is much debate about Liu Jin's composition of "Wujiapo" in ten minutes on the spot.

Some people believe it's a script.

Some people were amazed by Liu Jin's talent.

But regardless of praise or criticism, on New Year's Day 2005, the band Renatere entered the sight of countless French people in an incredible way, causing quite a stir.

Meanwhile, photos of Tianxian (Fairy Sister) at a New Year's Eve gala appeared on the Tianxian Bar forum, which was established in 2003.

"This is Beckinsale? Do the angels know Beckinsale?"

"And Matt Damon!"

"Look, isn't that Little Li in front of the celestial being?"

"Where is this party from?"

"..."

Liu Yifei, who rose to prominence with "The Story of a Noble Family", already has a considerable number of fans.

As a result, the Tianxian Bar was born, becoming a place where Tianxian fans gather and discuss daily.

"This must be from yesterday's M6 New Year's Eve party."

Someone answered.
"What M6?"

"A French television station specializing in entertainment held a New Year's Eve gala yesterday."

I went to see it too, and I was surprised to find that even the celestial being was there.

She should be sitting in the inner area; Leonardo DiCaprio and the others seem to be over there... probably there to support Amos.

"Amos? Which Amos!"

"There is only one Amos in France today, the one who wrote 'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'."

Um, last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean" was adapted from his novel of the same name. He's a really awesome Chinese guy.

"Is he/she Chinese?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I've read 'The Old Man and the Sea'!"

"Brothers in France, tell me the details."

"It seems that he formed a band with Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and French pop star Alizee."

Renatre, the band reborn, made their stage debut last night.

Leonardo DiCaprio and his friends are very close to him… By the way, there was a movie two years ago, *The Hangover*, which he wrote the screenplay for, and it grossed over a billion dollars.

"Now that you mention it, I remember."

By the way, didn't this guy also play the missing Chinese groom in it? I think Kate Winslet was the bride.

In addition, he also starred in a movie called "Before Sunrise," and the female lead was absolutely gorgeous!

"Yes, yes, I remember now, Eva Green!"

"..."

The forum is getting more and more lively.

Not long after, an ID called "Celestial Guardian" posted a few more photos.

In the photo, Liu Jin, Leonardo DiCaprio, and others are standing together.

The little girl's smile was incredibly radiant!

Most importantly, she remained in the center position, which once again ignited the online forum.

"Wow, is a celestial being really that amazing?"

She was standing in the center of a photo with Leonardo DiCaprio and the others?!

"Holy crap, brother, Anita Mui, and Maggie Cheung, this must be the Rebirth Band."

Is the Chinese man on the far right Amos?
What's his relationship with that foreign woman next to him? It seems like something's going on!

That's Alizee, the French pop star.

Several of her songs were written and composed by Amos… Oh, and last night, Amos and his brother sang a cappella a version of "Wujiapo," which had a bit of a Peking Opera feel, but wasn't quite Peking Opera. It was incredibly cool; it completely stunned those foreigners!

Where can I see it?

"I'll search on eMule..."

In the evening, Tangren Media's official website released a news article.

Explore the secrets of the martial arts world, and let the celestial being guide you through the grand story of the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

A touch of melancholy, a hint of emotion—celestial beings lend their voices to the Legend of Sword and Fairy, painting a beautiful picture of the world of immortals and heroes for you.

On the promotional poster, a fairy in ancient costume, holding orange flowers, looking up at a 45-degree angle with an innocent and charming smile, is particularly eye-catching.
