Chapter 75 I Like Them All (Seeking First Subscription)
Wu Yuchen didn't stay that night. He chatted with Zeng Li for a while and then came back when it was almost time.

It would be a lie to say he had no feelings for Zeng Li, but she was sick and weak, so he wouldn't have any other thoughts at a time like this.

He had just arrived home, and before he could even put down the thermos, his phone rang. As soon as he answered, Tu Honggang's strong, resonant voice came through the other end:
"Little brother, is there a TV in front of us? Quickly, turn on the variety channel!"

Seeing that the TV was showing commercials, Wu Yuchen didn't hesitate and picked up the remote to switch to CCTV-3.

The logo that CCTV uses now is not the later double C plus TV logo, but a butterfly-shaped logo with the two letters "TV" in the middle.

At that moment, Channel 3's variety channel was broadcasting a program called "China Music Television".

"...Now, let's take you into the world of chivalry with a magnificent song, 'The Spirit of Chinese Martial Arts' sung by Tu Honggang."

The first sound was the approaching hoofbeats, and a scene of a knight-errant riding a horse appeared on the television screen.

However, what attracted Wu Jianping and Zhou Shulan was the song information displayed on the television.

"...Composer: Wu Yuchen, Lyricist: Wu Yuchen."

Meanwhile, viewers watching "Huaxia Music Television" on television were also drawn in by the metallic clanging of classical Chinese musical instruments.

Of course, what attracted their attention even more was the music video on TV. The clarity and shooting quality of the video completely outshone all the other music videos before!

Those with extensive film experience can immediately recognize this as a scene from a movie they've seen before.

Then Tu Honggang's heroic singing voice rang out:

"Light fur coat, long sword, spirited horse, wild song"
Their loyalty and courage are as strong as mountains and rivers.

What a free spirit who comes and goes in the world of martial arts!
Daring to sit on equal footing with emperors.

......"

Watching the heroic and passionate martial arts movie scenes on TV, with Tu Honggang's powerful and domineering singing voice lingering in their ears, many people immediately got goosebumps, their blood boiled, and a sense of heroism arose spontaneously in their chests.

Especially for male viewers, who hasn't read martial arts novels? Who hasn't seen martial arts movies? Who hasn't dreamed of roaming the martial arts world?

Some slapped their thighs and jumped to their feet:

"Truly breathtaking! How exhilarating!"

"This is what martial arts is all about, this is what the world of Jianghu is all about!"

Some people picked up their beers, took a couple of gulps, and started reciting poetry:
"With heartfelt passion, I repay my friend; with a thousand cups of strong liquor, I offer a sacrifice to the heavens!"

After the song ended, many people were still very excited. Some called the program team, while others told their like-minded friends. Everyone remembered the song and Tu Honggang.

On the phone, Tu Honggang laughed heartily:
"Little brother, how are you?"

"Absolutely fantastic!"

"Let me tell you, of the tapes I released in January, 'Farewell My Concubine' and 'The Spirit of Chinese Martial Arts' were the most popular. When the program team contacted me, I quickly sent them the 'The Spirit of Chinese Martial Arts' music video."

Once I have enough money, I'll definitely make a decent music video for "Farewell My Concubine"!

If you find any more songs that suit me in the future, I'll definitely buy them at a high price!

Tu Honggang was clearly very happy at this moment. His comeback was most popular offline with "Farewell My Concubine". This song of the same type, "Chinese Martial Spirit", was not bad either. More importantly, the effect of listening to the song alone was doubled when the music video was played. With CCTV-3 broadcasting it, his commercial performance and tour fees will at least double!
Wu Jianping was also deeply moved, mainly because the music video and the song were so well-matched and captivating. After his son finished his call, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you write this too?"

Wu Yuchen explained, "Dad, last semester I helped someone make a documentary, that's when it came about."

Wu Jianping nodded. To be honest, he was a little numb. Mainly because his son had changed so much in the past six months—he even won the Golden Bear for his short film at the Berlin International Film Festival. What was writing a song compared to that?
However, he still complimented her, saying, "You wrote really good lyrics."

"Haha, you're the best teacher!" Wu Jianping laughed and shook his head upon seeing this.

……

For the next two days, Wu Yuchen went back to school as usual, but he would still come to see Zeng Li every day to bring her a meal, mainly because her stomach was currently fragile and he was worried that food outside might not be clean.

However, when he came over that day, he saw Zeng Li holding the novel "Bright Sword" with red eyes.

"what happened?"

Zeng Li shook her head.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen asked directly, "Where are you looking?"

"Xiuqin is dead."

Wu Yuchen suddenly realized that he had seen the scene where the protagonist's first wife sacrificed herself. Xiuqin's death, Li Yunlong's heartbreak and crying at her grave is a tragic emotional point in the whole book. Many people couldn't help but shed tears when they read it in their previous lives. No wonder Zeng Li broke down in tears.

"Come on, eat something before you cry."

Wu Yuchen brought out the food for her, and then asked:

"What do you think of this novel? You're one of the first readers."

"It's so good! I stayed up until midnight last night watching it before I could finally go to sleep."

"You're too cruel. Sun Desheng is dead, and Xiuqin is dead too..."

Listening to Zeng Li's complaints, Wu Yuchen didn't take it to heart. As long as the readers found it enjoyable, that was fine. It was just like when Jin Yong arranged the dragon knight plot, which caused readers to tear up newspapers and curse.

"I was reluctant to do it, but the plot had progressed to this point, and the thought in my mind was urging me to write it this way. And to be honest, the war years back then were probably much more brutal than what I'm writing."

Zeng Li nodded. She actually understood that the story would be much more bland if it wasn't written this way, but she couldn't help but complain.

"I just feel so sorry for Li Yunlong. Seeing him crying at his grave made me so sad."

"It's alright, I'll get him a better one later," Wu Yuchen casually reassured him.

"Huh? Aren't you making Li Yunlong a heartless man?!"

"Do you want Li Yunlong to spend his whole life guarding Xiuqin's grave?"

Zeng Li shook her head: "I just saw this, and I can't accept you saying that. Don't spoil it for me, it's too annoying."

But after taking a couple of bites, Zeng Li couldn't help but ask:
"Will he forget Xiuqin? Who does he like more?"

Wu Yuchen choked for a moment. He realized that this woman's way of thinking was really different from that of men. She could even get caught up in love while reading a war novel.

"I like them all, I like them all. Old Li is not a heartless person!"

"That's more like it~" Zeng Li thought that it was enough that Xiuqin's death could leave such a heavy place in Li Yunlong's heart.

Wu Yuchen quickly changed the subject: "Have you gotten your results yet?"

Zeng Li shook her head: "Not yet, but it should be in the next day or two."

"Okay, give me a call when the results are out, and I'll give you some advice."

Wu Yuchen definitely still wants to persuade Zeng Li to go to the Central Academy of Drama. If she comes to Beijing Film Academy, won't she run into Jiang Qinqin?
