Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

The hooded man took off his hood, and the reporters immediately started talking.

"Jielun eh"

"Oh, what's he doing here?"

The end of 2003 marked the finale of Jay Chou's career, the first time he achieved a complete and phenomenal breakthrough.

Its popularity and buzz across the country, especially in Tai Wan, has reached the top.

"Ye Huimei" sold 300 million copies across Asia, breaking multiple records.

"In the Name of the Father" premiered and was broadcast simultaneously on 500 radio stations, "Sunny Day" was a huge hit, and "East Wind Breaks" brought a fresh and different style to Chinese-language music.

The 24-year-old also graced the cover of Time Asia.

At this moment, he has firmly secured his position as the number one new generation artist in the Chinese music scene.

·······

·······

There are many singers in Taiwan Fire, but it's hard to find an artist who can match his popularity.

The paparazzi were so excited when they saw him at the airport.

Jalun came to pick someone up at the airport, and the two seemed to know each other quite well, which seems to indicate a lot.

But I've never heard of the two of them ever interacting before.

Is Xie Jin planning to expand into the entertainment industry?

  

Is Jay Chou going to star in a movie directed by a mainland Chinese director?

Could the two be collaborating on a musical project?

No, we must find out!

...........

...........

Gu Renlong had asked Xie Jin about the security arrangements before, but Xie Jin refused to answer.

I didn't let him hire a bunch of bodyguards to parade around the airport.

I just feel like that's a bit...

In reality, aside from die-hard fans and hired fake fans, ordinary citizens simply glance at celebrities a few more times.

If it's convenient, let's take a photo together. If not, forget it. Everyone has important things to do, and nobody has time to hang around you.

No one would rush in like that; it's not like it's RMB...

Normal people only go this crazy when they see money and free eggs.

But this time they miscalculated in Tainan; the citizens were just curious and didn't actually gather around.

But these paparazzi are freaking scary...

.........

.........

The reporters glanced at Xie Jin, then at the Liu family mother and daughter in white dresses, and Zhou Jielun who had come to pick them up at the airport.

You can easily make something out by just taking a few pictures!

The paparazzi, like sharks that have smelled blood, slowly approached like zombies.

His eyes gleamed with a strange light.

The paparazzi seemed intent on continuing to surround them.

With a single glance from Jelun, his security team immediately stepped forward to separate the people.

"Mr. Xie, just give us your luggage and come with us."

The burly men swarmed forward and carried the luggage away.

He spread his arms wide, protecting the group as they went out.

·······

·······

This was the first time the two had met in person; their previous contact had mainly been online.

At the end of August, Jelun's desire to act in movies and become a director reached its peak.

It's mainly music that's getting him excited; it's hard for him to find anything else that excites him anymore.

In his view, Xie Jin has experience in transitioning from singer to actor to director.

In particular, "When a Man Falls in Love" sold very well in Tai Wan and also sold very well on Hong Kong Island.

This kept Jelun tossing and turning all night.

It gives me the feeling that I could do it too.

He got the phone number from someone and called it. Xie Jin initially thought it was a scam.

After all, who would politely say, "I am Jay Chou"?

Are you Jay Chou? Or am I Daniel Wu?

Later, to verify his identity, they forced Jellon to sing for ten minutes on the phone, which confirmed that he was not the resurrected Qin Shi Huang.

Hehe

Actually, Xie Gou already knew...

I just want to hear Jaylen's solo concert...

The two chatted for two hours, and then called each other every few days.

..........

Inside the car, Xie Jin wiped the sweat from her brow. "You reporters are terrifying, like you're going to eat me alive."

Jelun handed over a tissue, chuckling, "You think I brought so much security? It's because I'm afraid of this."

"Next time I come, I'll have to contact a team. After our last call, did you take on the role in the Universe production?"

Jelun nodded: "You said that play was good, so I tried to contact it. You were right, I really am suitable to play the male lead."

"Chen, who was originally supposed to play Takumi, was replaced by Ryosuke by Director Tsui. Oh, and Director Tsui also asked if you wanted to make a cameo appearance."

"Who do I play? The uncle who drives a Mercedes-Benz?"

Jelun realized that this guy was just as cheeky as he was on the phone.

"...Get lost, a Mercedes-Benz W14? You can't even drive a Mercedes-Benz G15."

"Takumi, what kind of attitude is this? Uncle doesn't even mind Natsuki having you, and you're picking on me?"

Jelun gave a wry smile: "You...ever since you talked to me about the character's psychological motivations last time, I can't look at Natsuki the same way anymore."

"That's not entirely true. If Takumi is only looking for a short-term relationship, then it's a wiser choice."

"Stop, stop, stop... This is too much!"

.........

Xie Jin continued, "When will it be turned on?"

"I plan to write a song for the movie at the end of March, after the Lunar New Year."

Watching Jielun excitedly share his recent events, Xie Jin revealed an evil smile.

In fact, it should have been before the Lunar New Year that Jay Chou first composed the melody for "All the Way North" and then gave it to Vincent Fang to write the lyrics.

"Do you have an idea now?"

Jelun shook his head: "I've been too busy playing video games and going to concerts lately. I'll probably write the lyrics after I finish composing the music for the melody."

"Oh? There's a song now?"

"Yeah, do you want to hear it? It's awesome!"

As he spoke, he took a Walkman out of the car and handed it to Xie Jin.

······

······

Xie Jin listened for a while. Although some of the melodies were still quite mixed, the core melody was the tune of heading north.

It's time for me to show off...

"The Pen Comes"

Jay Chou?

"You...you want to create now?"

Xie Jin decided that in order to get Jie Lun to write more and better music, she should borrow a few more of his songs.

This allowed him to generate new inspiration under pressure.

"Yeah, don't you usually just write whatever comes to mind?"

Jelun thought for a moment and said, "I write melodies when the feeling comes; if the feeling isn't there, I can't force it out."

"That's settled then, pen."

Jay Chou was a little confused. You really want to?

You were in my car, listening to my melody, and you told me right in front of me that you wanted to write lyrics?

Showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu?

NTR Lao Fang?

But since he asked for it, Jelun decided to give it to him.

He always has paper and pen in his car, or rather, he has paper and pen everywhere, so that he can jot down any feelings he has at any time.

Xie Jin hummed a melody, looked in the rearview mirror outside the car window, and began to answer the questions according to the standard answers.

This is even more exciting than an open-book exam... Indeed, people still have to show off; otherwise, they've lived in vain.

The world seen in the rearview mirror... a farewell that grows ever more distant.

In essence, his "creation" is no different from memorization.

Closing my eyes and humming a song is purely to recall the song, because I'm afraid I might have copied it incorrectly, which would be ridiculous.

But he didn't know that this scene was driving Zhou Jielun crazy.

He... he just closed his eyes, heard my melody for the first time, and then, while singing, he just wrote down the lyrics?

Is that all?

This! This! This must be entering a state of ethereal tranquility, a world of nothingness, nothingness, and only music.

Ugh! I'm so envious!!

Thank you, you dog! Damn it!!

The direction you stand in is separated from me by tears.

Σ(°ロ°)! ! !

The street scene keeps receding; your breakdown is fragmented outside the window.

This doesn't look like a beaver at all!

Am I not a genius?

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Am I not a master, a master, a master of masters?!

Damn! How can it sound so good?!

Xie Jin thought to herself, "How could it not sound good?"

If I were to copy freely, I could make Teacher Fang lose sleep at night!

In Jelun's mind, he had already begun to brainwash himself.

A perfect, self-consistent logic emerges.

No wonder he can direct films; it turns out he can enter a deep, ethereal state at any time. Music, drama, film, and dance are all interconnected at their core.

He really is a genius... Turns out I've always been the hard-working type.

I still haven't tried hard enough...

"Here, I've finished writing it, so I'm sending it to you."

Zhou Jielun glanced down at his watch; it was exactly seven minutes.

Haha, seven minutes... Haha, I must be going crazy.

If I told Lao Fang that someone filled in the lyrics for me in seven minutes, would he be devastated?

Holding the lyrics, Jay Chou began to try singing.

The more I sang, the more immersed I became, and the more enjoyable it felt.

The more enjoyable it is.

Yue was starting to think about kicking Xie Jin off the bus.

Jay Chou rubbed his nose: "You really want these lyrics for me?"

"Take it, it's yours. When you're done with your work, write me a song for me, and we'll be even."

Zhou Jielun nodded vigorously: "Okay! I'll think about it when I get back! Don't rush me, I need to think about it carefully."

"You really went out of your way to write a song for me?"

Xie Jin's ability to compose lyrics in seven minutes ignited Jie Lun's competitive spirit, and he nodded vigorously.

"I'm going to write an awesome song for you! Let's make friends through music!"

Xie Jin's mouth slowly stretched into a wide grin...

I could copy it by brute force, but I'd be even happier if you were willing to give it to me...

I'm so sleepy! Which song could it be: "Nocturne", "Hair Like Snow" or "Blue and White Porcelain"?

Hehe hehe

It's a happy kind of trouble.
