The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

Chapter 115 The Unfinished Song (1)

Zhao Qianfan's voice, naturally honed through extensive training by Li Zichun, is deep, resonant, and full of warmth, delivering a captivating performance. Regarding versions of this song, besides Tsai Chin, he also appreciates the versions by Coco Lee, Zhou Shen, and Su Shiding, each bringing their own unique flavor to the song.

Every word in the lyrics reflects the joys and sorrows and life experiences of a generation of filmmakers, which is truly moving.

Aren't the characters in every movie just alter egos of the screenwriter's story, or the directors' dreams within dreams?

After Zhao Qianfan finished singing, she could leave immediately because she had another show to attend.

After becoming the King of Singers, he completely took control of the body. The original owner's wish had been fulfilled. When Li Zichun returned, he avoided contact with him and was unable to properly make that request to him.

However, he also knew that it wasn't that Li Zichun didn't want to talk to him; she was just too busy. This damn favor, he'd just have to bear with it for a few more days.

When Zhao Qianfan arrived at the venue, Li Ke and Li Zichun were already live streaming. Everyone was excited to see him arrive, and it seemed that they could start the live stream.

Li Zichun's promise to Xiong Wei regarding traffic generation involved three concerts. The venue and personnel for the live stream were arranged by director Zhang Xiaochuan, choosing a large lawn about a mile outside the main venue. The people coming and going were mostly television actors and singers attending the ceremony. It was a small gathering where everyone enjoyed delicious food, drinks, and the evening breeze from the river – a very pleasant experience.

The second and third sessions were also held here, which not only allowed these people to pass the time but also enabled them to familiarize themselves with the venue in time to attend the awards ceremony.

Li Zichun didn't need to prepare any host; he just started the live broadcast.

"Unfinished Songs" refers to the songs he didn't sing during the singing competition. He couldn't even finish singing one ten-thousandth of the songs in his mind during the ten episodes.

Li Zichun and his two companions briefly greeted everyone who entered the live stream: "Hello everyone, welcome to the live stream of the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust. We will be doing a three-day live stream. What do you mean by 'unfinished songs'? They are songs that we thought of during the theme competition but didn't have the chance to sing. Actually, we can't possibly sing them all in three days of live streams, so please bear with us and remember to give us three likes!"

Today is the first day of "Unfinished Songs." Since there are still songs left on each theme, based on the online poll initiated by Kei-yin, the theme everyone wants to hear today is "animals," and it's still the classic ten-song medley. Okay, enough chit-chat, the first song is "Sparrow" by Li Ke, which I'm sharing with you all. I hope you enjoy it.

Li Ke stood in front of the camera and sang along to the rhythm of Li Ronghao's "Sparrow":

Mountains are always next to mountains, but they all have a companion.

I believe that even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, I still need to be a fool.

Flying too slowly will leave you alone; flying too fast will get you hurt. That's just how life is.

The sky will clear and then darken; I'm used to it.

To avoid being destitute during the day, one should eat three meals a day.

I broke my wings to keep you warm.

I encountered those difficulties, but you didn't care.

I soar through the dark clouds, and you watch me unmoved.

How many times have the waves surged in my heart?

You flew to the summit of the snow-capped mountain, while I remain in your memories.

"If you become an immortal, I'll stay in the mortal realm to protect you. Even sparrows have a tomorrow..."

"Sparrow" is the first single from Li Ronghao's sixth album, and also the title track of the album of the same name. He single-handedly handled twelve aspects of the work, including songwriting, arrangement, production, guitar, bass, and backing vocals.

People often say, "Though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs." This is a song written for everyone. The simple lyrics express the hopes and dreams in the hearts of "ordinary people," showing hope even amidst self-deprecation.

Li Zichun considered this song for the "Seeing All Beings" segment, but ultimately chose "The World," which has a blessing theme and is more suitable for the competition.

Many listeners at the scene were also lost in memories. How many people supported you as you climbed to the top of the art world? Do you still remember those people who remain in your memories?

Before anyone could continue thinking, the next song started, Zhao Qianfan's "Ants Ants":

Ants ants ants ants locusts' thighs

Ants ants ants ants dragonfly eyes

Ants ants ants ants butterfly wings

Ants ants ants ants ants no problem

Two and a half acres of land in the world, no more, no less.

If you don't plant in winter, nothing will grow in summer.

I have neither rainbows nor cows nor plows

I only had an axe clutched in my hand.

On a cloudy day, you see the sun and you also see yourself.

I am grateful when it rains and the sun shines.

When a friend comes to visit, I offer him a piece of watermelon rind.

If your enemy comes, sneeze at him.

A year has 365 days divided into four seasons

The five grains are peanuts, red dates, millet, and jujubes.

Think about the neighbor's daughter listening to the radio.

Look, my ideals are still buried in the ground.

.......

Watermelons and beans were planted in winter.

Summer brings only empty joy.

The sun at eight or nine o'clock shines on this land

Having ten beads of sweat on your forehead means you have no temper.

I have no worries, the past is just an ant.

Her arms and legs were the same size when she was born.

Regardless of what other people are wearing

Our brothers' skin will always be dark.

......

Ants ants ants ants ants no problem no problem..."

This song is one of Zhang Chu's representative works that ushered in the golden age of Chinese rock. Some people say that he is the loneliest singer in China, who is self-aware of loneliness and finds joy in humility, like an ant wandering around. This can be seen from his first album, "A Heart That Refuses to Be Vulgar".

Li Zichun used to listen to songs like this with respect. He originally wanted Li Ke to sing this song, but Li Ke was too disappointing and kept getting the number of ants wrong. In the end, Li Zichun got angry and simply let Zhao Qianfan sing it.
