I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 524 The Celestial Fairy's Wonderful Night
I couldn't refuse my brother's kind invitation!

But she still pulled Liu Jin into the square.

The atmosphere in the central square of Grução became exceptionally lively at this moment.

Many townspeople who had been staying at home also came out of their homes and came to the square.

Anita Mui's song "One Moment in Time" seems to have awakened everyone's dormant passion.

They gathered in small groups, drinking beer and chatting.

The night breeze was gentle, but it couldn't dispel the excitement in the square. When Leslie Cheung walked out with Lau Chun, the entire square erupted in cheers!
Who is Leslie Cheung?
The French were unaware of this.

But they knew Cheng Dieyi...

And Liu Jin, needless to say, is currently the most popular writer in France.

Countless of his works have been adapted into films, and apart from productions like "Pirates of the Caribbean," the one most beloved by the French is still "Amélie."

It may lack depth and dazzling special effects, but it is deeply loved by the French.

That's a French story!
It's a story from Paris...

Although Paris is far from Grussels, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the townspeople for the film.

It is said that Amélie is still being shown in arthouse cinemas to this day.

By the end of last year, "Amélie" had grossed over 60 million euros at the French box office...

All I can say is that Miramax is completely outmatched!

Besides "Amélie", the French also love "Before Sunrise".

The reason is simple: it was the first film starring Eva Green, whom they called the second-generation French Rose.

Especially the kissing scene between Liu Jin and Eva...

That scene was voted 'Best Kiss Scene' at the Venice Film Festival.

So much so that the romantic French almost swore off this movie!
Since last year, there have been calls for a sequel to be filmed as soon as possible, as people want to see Amos and Eva deliver an even more spectacular kissing scene.

Liu Jin has not responded to this.

It is for this reason that the Grysan people regard Liu Jin as one of their own.

A French son-in-law!
This guy is usually very low-key.

Although he lived in Gryzan, he rarely went out.

I occasionally run into him in the city, and he's always very enthusiastic.

However, such opportunities are too few and far between...

Leslie Cheung chose "Old Time Rock & Roll".

This is a rock song written and performed by Bob Seeger, a famous American singer, in the 1970s.

Primarily created to counter the prevailing trend of disco music at the time, it is a very traditional old-school rock song.

This song was once a hit in Europe and America.

Older people have all heard this song.

The atmosphere is created as soon as the music starts.

Leslie Cheung's voice was deep and somewhat similar to that of Michael Bolton in the 1970s and 80s.

The old folks who stayed in Gryzan were mostly people who had lived through that era, and they were very familiar with this song.

My brother is a seasoned veteran; he wasn't reserved at all.

The moment he opened his mouth, people felt the pure 1980s rock vibe.

The square immediately erupted in excitement!

……

The fairy helped Mei Gu back to her seat.

But his eyes were bright and sparkling as he stared at the square.

"Uncle Leslie's singing is amazing!"

Anita Mui smiled and said, "If you like it, go over and sing along."

"I don't want to, my singing is terrible... I don't want to sing at all now."

"Silly girl, singing is about happiness and freedom, what does it have to do with singing skills?"
You're not recording a record, you're not selling albums... Go, go sing with them, feel the joy."

The fairy is a little conflicted.

Although he said he didn't want to sing anymore, he was still a little excited inside.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the urge to 'join in the fun' and ran over.

Anita Mui couldn't help but laugh.

"Anita, are you alright?"

Maggie was a little worried.

"I just called her a silly girl, and now you've become a silly girl too?"
"I was just a little tired from singing, it's not like I'm about to die." "Pah! Don't say such unlucky things!"

Maggie sat down next to her and gently hugged Anita Mui.

Qianqian remained silent, recording the scene before her with her DV camera.

What are you doing here?

"I want you to take care of it!"

Tianxian sidled up to Liu Jin, looking at him with an expression that said, "You don't like me, but you can't do anything about it."

This brat deserves a beating!

Do you think she would cry if I actually punched her?
Liu Jin's fist hardened slightly.

"Today's music ain't got the same soul
Contemporary music lacks the same soul.
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
What I love is the rock music of yesteryear.
Don't try to take me to a disco
Don't try to take me to a disco.
You'll never even get me out on the floor
You can never let me out again.

In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
Even if I go, I'll be ten minutes late.

I like that old time rock'n' roll
What I love is the rock music of yesteryear.
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
I still love the old rock music…

Leslie Cheung enjoyed this feeling.

After singing a section, he suddenly handed the microphone to Tianxian.

Can you sing?

"Of course!"

"Let's sing together..."

The fairy-like figure relaxed at this moment and took the microphone.

“That kind of music just soothes the soul
That kind of music comforts my soul.

I reminisce about the days of old
I will reminisce about the past.
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Accompanied by the rock music of yesteryear…

Her voice still carried a hint of childlike sweetness, clear and melodious.

It is very different from the original singer's voice and Leslie Cheung's voice, but it has a unique flavor.

The people in the square immediately cheered.

Some people even started swaying their bodies to the music and singing along with the fairy's sweet, childlike voice.

The fairy was so excited that her face turned as red as a ripe apple.

But this feeling is so exciting!
Singing skills?

Who cares about singing skills!
As long as you're happy...

At a table on the edge of the square, seeing the celestial being's excited expression and her slightly trembling, childlike voice, Anita Mui smiled.

"I remember the first time I busked on the street, it was like this."

Excited, nervous, but...so happy!

Zhang Manyu put her arm around her, a smile appearing on her slightly aloof face.

“Anita, since you like her so much, why not just recognize her as your goddaughter?”

"Tch, her mother is still alive, why would I recognize her as a goddaughter?"

"Hehe, if you don't want to admit it, I will!"

"Get out of here, you're just a nobody, what business is it of yours?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Manyu couldn't help but laugh.

……

Leslie Cheung was really into it!

The townspeople of Grüssán were ecstatic!
This small town is usually lifeless; all the young people have gone out to work and make a living, and it's incredibly boring.

People were naturally delighted by this unexpected event.

There are no singers or writers, just people from Gryzan tonight, so let's all have fun!
Liu Jin was also infected.

So after Leslie Cheung sang "Let it Be" again, he took the microphone from his brother and sang "Comme Toi" by the famous French singer Jean-Jacques Goldman.

This song may not be well-known in the English-speaking world.

Moreover, 90% of Chinese people probably haven't even heard of it.

But it is very famous in the French-speaking world.

At least half of the Grysans present could sing this song.

Later, they simply joined Liu Jin in singing, and the entire central square became a sea of ​​chorus.

The celestial being was extremely happy at that moment!
