The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

121. Seeing All Beings (Part 3)

Li Ke's voice wasn't actually suitable for "Human Fireworks," but with Li Zichun's harmonies, his voice gained a touch of tenderness, as if the talented scholar from Jiangnan, who had frequented countless beauties and had confidantes, had finally understood what it meant to be a heartbroken woman and decided to spend his life alone in the mountains.

Netizens were also amazed by this amazing sound experience; they were amazed that such a great teammate could be paired up like this.

Just as the screen was filled with Liu Liu Guai and Aa Jing, it was Zhao Qianfan's turn to sing. He stood in front of the camera and said with a smile, "With 'Human Fireworks' existing, how can there be no 'Human Fireworks'? Here's a song 'Human Fireworks' for everyone."

This is a traditional Chinese style song. Zhao Qianfan made a starting gesture and began singing "Fireworks in the Human World" to the music:

The cup was not yet full, yet the brilliance of the Milky Way was already visible.

In a fleeting moment, I became obsessed with traveling through mountains and rivers.

My will remains unbroken; I pray for compassion and mercy towards all beings.

With a swift and decisive action, he urged his horse onward, whipping it into action.

The intense cold was extraordinary; he couldn't sleep all night, displaying a stubborn and audacious determination.

A chilling cold, a sigh of regret; the biting cold of the high tower is hard to describe; how can one emerge from the mud unsullied?

I am accompanied by the sound of cicadas, with a lamp lit, oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the world.

Swallowing down fleeting moments of joy and sorrow, each word a sigh of melancholy.

Wine soaks my clothes, I'm all alone, but I need not make the rest of my life difficult.

I am willing to accommodate the separation and become a long talk among all living beings.

Migration years, worldly wisdom awakens like a dream

Human attachments, destiny, high mountains and long roads

Grudges and resentments arise from the union of people and also from their absence.

Difficult to determine the cause.

......

I no longer concern myself with worldly games and arguments; I have seen through all of you.

It was nothing more than a feast of words and laughter, where everyone was jumping for joy and going mad.

I would rather become a fleeting glimpse of smoke in this mortal world, unafraid of the judgment of the masses, and remain safe and sound despite the changing stars and moon.

This was a popular ancient-style song that was quite popular online back then, but when Zhao Qianfan sang it, it felt like he had advanced to a higher level. His transition between his true and falsetto voices was smooth and seamless, and even Li Zichun thought it was amazing.

Next up was Qin Junzhi. Li Zichun felt his voice was bold, unrestrained, and free-spirited. Even after Zhao Qianfan and Li Ke took the title of "King of Singers," Qin Junzhi wasn't angry; he only showed his love for music and gratitude for life. This was one of the reasons he decided to collaborate with him. Therefore, this time he gave him a classic song, "Wanderer's Love Song":

I will stop thinking about you, I will stop loving you.

Let time slip away quietly, erasing our memories.

Your name will never be mentioned again.

I will no longer let sadness occupy my heart.

Let it go with the wind, let it leave no trace.

Cast aside all joy and sorrow, all the past.

The one I think of, long for, hope for, and yearn for will no longer be you.

I don't want to suffer anymore, I want to forget you.

I will wipe away the tears that I accidentally shed.

And will pretend that nothing matters.

Shatter our love.

Then drive it all out of my wounded heart.

Let it go with the wind...

I don't want to suffer anymore, I've forgotten you.

You will see. Forget about you...

"Wanderer's Love Song" was originally intended for Gao Mingjun to sing, but it was rejected. Wu Bai then took it back and sang it himself, and unexpectedly it became another classic masterpiece of his.

After six songs in the second round, it was time for the routine Q&A session. The entire venue and the internet erupted in excitement, with many directors, celebrities, and screenwriters raising their hands, and the live chat criticizing them for stealing their thunder.

Director Zhang Xiaochuan glanced at Li Zichun and said with a hint of interest, "How about we add three more questions on set?"

Li Zichun pressed down on Qi Tong's two little paws and said, "Since you, the great director, have spoken, how could I dare to refuse? Come on."

With the involvement of director Zhang Xiaochuan, it eventually turned into six questions and answers.

The first thing to do was take screenshots of questions from viewers in the live chat. After Li Zichun stopped counting "three, two, one," three questions appeared:

"What kind of girls do you three like? You're not going to keep them all to yourselves, are you? You can contact me if you're looking for a relationship, I'm super sweet."

Zhao Qianfan frowned and said with a smirk, "I won't answer questions about private matters. No matter how sweet you are, we won't make a move. Celebrities need to be self-aware of maintaining their figure and can't eat too many sweets."

"Qin Junzhi, how did you manage to join this three-person team? Do you have any secrets to share?"

Qin Junzhi shrugged, indicating he didn't know either. Li Ke, standing nearby, laughed and said, "It's because this kid is handsome! If you haters were also good-looking and could sing like him, you could DM us and join us, right, Zichun?"

Li Zichun nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, Junzhi is quite good, and it's comfortable to be around him. I'll continue to look for new talent in the future, and if I think a song sounds good, I might write one for you guys."

"Could you ask if the Moon Emperor still sings songs about the moon? Are there any new songs you'd like to hear?"

Li Zichun stroked Qitong's head, rubbing its fur with his fingertips, and said, "Yes, the closing song of tomorrow night's awards ceremony will be a song about the moon. Please look forward to it."

That concluded the online Q&A session; now it was time for a Q&A with the live audience. Looking at the numerous hands raised across the venue, Li Zichun smiled and casually pointed to a middle-aged man who seemed agreeable, saying, "Hello, I'm Ning Feng, the film director. I'd like to ask you three 'Heroes of the Wind and Dust' to sing a theme song for our movie. How can I contact you?"

Li Zichun said with a smile, "Please send your film script outline and requirements to our company's two email addresses, and we will select the best one. Other directors can also contact us."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to Yan Xiaoli, who also raised her hand and said, "We have already established a studio in Beijing and sincerely look forward to cooperating with all of you big shots."

While Yan Xiaoli was accompanying Li Ke to the competition in Beijing, she was already busy setting up Li Ke's personal studio as Li Zichun's instructions, serving as a base for Li Ke's development there, while she herself returned to Kowloon Port.

Then he randomly picked a young girl, who smiled and said, "Ah~~~ Is it me? Oh~~ I don't have anything to ask, I'm just joining in the fun. By the way, I wanted to say that I love Zhao Qianfan, muah muah muah, I like all his songs, keep it up."

Director Zhang Xiaochuan whispered some information about her in his ear. It turned out she was a minor actress in a romantic drama. No wonder she loves handsome men so much.

Li Zichun said with a smile, "Thank you for your liking. Okay, who should we choose last? The little brat standing on the stool in the corner, that's you, the one licking his fingers."

The crowd burst into laughter. The camera focused on the little boy who was licking his fingers while eating the dessert buffet. He smacked his lips, looked at everyone, and then, as if he understood, said in a childish voice, "I have no problem, I just want to take a picture with the handsome guys, is that okay?"

Li Zichun nodded and said, "Sure, come here, I'll hold you."

So, Li Zichun held the little baby in his arms, Qi Tong stepped on his shoulders, and Li Ke, Zhao Qianfan, and Qin Junzhi stood on either side, taking this rare and heartwarming photo.

The questions on stage have finally been answered, and it's time for the singers to continue performing.
