The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

Lin Fengmian's voice is one that Li Zichun really likes. It is clean, delicate, gentle and lovely, with the unique enthusiasm and naivety of a young man. Moreover, this slightly magnetic and refreshing voice, which is somewhere between a boy and a man, makes his overall image very distinctive.

Li Zichun smiled and nodded. He was indeed a promising talent, but unfortunately, he wasn't on his side. He had neither the time nor the interest to poach someone from the top eight entertainment companies.

After Lin Fengmian finished singing, it was time for the last song of the first half of the performance, and Feng Zhennian took the stage.

Feng Zhennian previously collaborated with Li Zichun on three songs: "Look, Look at the Moon's Face," "The Moon Fills the West Tower," and "The Myth of Stars and Moon." Li Zichun could only describe her voice as having an antique quality. The unique temperament cultivated by the Linglong Culture makes her singing sound melodious and graceful, like a lady emerging from a painting, pleasing to the eye and ear.

Li Zichun once asked her what kind of songs she wanted to sing. She thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Something a little unconventional. I don't want to be a lady anymore."

Her agent understood her desire to change her image and knew that to stand out among the company's many handsome men and beautiful women, she had to change her existing path and become an exception, so she didn't try to stop her.

Li Zichun also found their agents strange. Weren't they all from GTV Entertainment? Why were they so enthusiastic about this collaboration? They didn't seem to be trying to stop it at all, which made him very uneasy.

Li Zichun gleaned bits and pieces of information from them that the Eight Entertainments seemed to be under investigation by higher authorities, causing widespread anxiety. Many people said that after the King of Singers competition, the entertainment industry would likely undergo a major reshuffle.

Li Zichun simply smiled and remained silent. These people were certainly not at the level to access the true core of business, but they revealed a crucial truth: the clash between the state and capital had already begun.

Li Zichun didn't know the extent of the nation's "Operation Cleaner." If it could truly eliminate the eight major entertainment groups in one fell swoop, he wouldn't mind returning to develop his business there. Dealing with behemoths like the eight major entertainment groups, aside from national institutions, truly no one in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom could intervene. The fear was that political and business collusion would prevent the national operation from being fully implemented, ultimately resulting in a half-hearted effort with only a hollow reputation.

Getting back to the point, on stage, Feng Zhennian, wearing a blue strapless short dress, stood among a group of dancers and sang Jolin Tsai's "36 Strategies of Love" to the upbeat music:

Who said pretty girls are brainless?

All he knows is to love beauty and giggle foolishly.

Look how proud you are when you speak.

Aren't you afraid I'll say sorry and get out?

It doesn't matter who makes the first move.

Being able to respond to any situation is important; if you dare to love, don't run away.

The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love are like a game

I want to control the remote myself.

The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love: Always Maintain Your Beauty

Only by scoring can one avoid being eliminated.

There is no need to declare his relationship.

There's no need to be deliberately mysterious or pretentious.

Love is a wonderful thing.

It can cause someone to suddenly not be able to breathe.

I need to be alone.

What exactly should be given up?

......

Perhaps this is the most beautiful relationship in love.

It's a little ambiguous yet there's a little distance between us.

......

The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love are like a game / I need to control the remote myself / To succeed in the Thirty-Six Strategies of Love, you must always maintain a beautiful image / in order to score points and avoid being eliminated / perhaps this is the most beautiful relationship in love / without needing to declare your relationship with him/

There is no need to declare his relationship.

Feng Zhennian has completely changed her previous sweet and gentle demeanor. Forget all that nonsense about being dignified and elegant and not being able to show any body parts. I'll just break all of that in one go. You can ban me if you want, I'll just quit the entertainment industry.

The straightforward lyrics, upbeat melody, and Feng Zhennian's hot and dynamic dance created a highly infectious atmosphere, even making Li Zichun want to dance along.

After the entire song and dance were finished, the first half of the performance came to a complete end.

While the host was on stage saying a series of perfunctory words such as thanking the sponsors of the performance, Dai Rong and his team took advantage of the break to prepare for their own performance.

The entire performance of "The Imperial Concubine Yang" is nearly three hours long, and given the limited time, it's impossible to show the whole thing. Li Zichun told them to just pick a few highlights and start singing right away; if that didn't work, he would step in.

With Li Zichun providing support and guidance, they were able to unleash their full potential in their performances.

Because they only had ten minutes, Dai Rong had them perform two excerpts directly. The first excerpt was "The Drunken Beauty": "[Siping Tune]"

The ice wheel on the island begins to turn, and the Jade Rabbit appears, and the Jade Rabbit rises early in the east.

As the icy moon departed from the island, the world shone exceptionally bright.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, just like Chang'e leaving the moon palace.

"I resemble Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace..."

The second section is naturally "Ode to the Pear Blossom," which Li Zichun performed at the International Flower Festival and is already well-known to many: "Pear blossoms bloom, spring brings rain / Pear blossoms fall, spring sinks into the mud / This life is only for one person / They say the king's love is also infatuated, so infatuated / Naturally beautiful, hard to abandon, naturally beautiful, hard to abandon / A song of eternal regret, a mystery for a thousand years / A song of eternal regret, a longing for a thousand years..."

On stage, Li Longji and Yang Guifei, along with a group of palace maids, stood in a palace adorned with flowers. As for their singing, it was undoubtedly impeccable. However, the costume design was something that seemed to have been found out of nowhere, and the scenery—a palace and a pond—was a complete mess.

If it weren't for the fact that the makeup and singing style were indeed consistent, he wouldn't have been able to watch it.

Alas, they are indeed from different worlds. Although they are roughly similar, their aesthetics are quite different.

Li Zichun hesitated whether he should tell the correction and the others, but then he considered that he had only seen a few fragments and could not generalize. Besides, "The Imperial Concubine of Tang" was a newly created and adapted play that was constantly being revised. He had not seen the final version. So, in the end, his evaluation of Dai Rong was "acceptable, but needs improvement." He pointed out some areas where there was room for improvement, but the specific decision was up to the people performing at their theater. He was just giving some immature suggestions.

After Dai Rong's performance ended, the second half of the show began.

First to take the stage was Li Ke, and Li Zichun, his prized protégé, sang him Tao Zhe's "Love Is Simple": "I forgot how it started, maybe it was just a feeling I had for you."

Suddenly I realized I've fallen deeply in love with you. It's really that simple.

Love, whether in darkness or light, no longer matters.

Unable to decide right from wrong

No regrets, I followed love day and night.

That crazy person is me

I love you, I can't help but love you. Baby says you love me too.

I love you, I never want to lose you, baby.

It's impossible to be happier. As long as we're together, we'll do anything.

Although the world keeps changing, with the most sincere heart

Make love simple

......

I love you, I've always been here. Baby, I'll always love you.

I love you. Oh yes, I do.

Never give up on this right to love you

If you still have some questions, Oh no

Please listen closely to my heart, and hear me say I love you.

Yes, I do.

Come on now, one more time.

I love you. Oh yes, I do.

Always here, baby oh yeah, always loving you.

I love you and will never give up this right to love you.

"Love Is Simple" was actually written in 1993, but it wasn't until his first album was released in 1997 that people heard it. This undeniably representative work of David Tao, with its straightforward lyrics, has been widely regarded as one of the "ten most suitable songs for confession." Many singers, including Jacky Cheung and Fish Leong, have covered it.

When Li Zichun was choosing a song for Li Ke, he thought about it for a long time. There were actually many options, such as "Just Love You", "Simple Love", "The One I Love", "Love You Ten Thousand Years", "I Really Really Love You", etc. In the end, he chose "Love, It's Simple".

He probably just doesn't want to think too much. Keep it simple, yeah, love is simple.

After Li Ke left the stage, Cheng Xinghe, dressed casually with his baseball cap pulled back, went on stage. Li Zichun had suggested this look to him, saying it would make him more memorable.

Cheng Xinghe obediently did as he was told. When he was finished dressing up, Li Zichun nodded in satisfaction. He was indeed the opposite of Lin Fengmian. He exuded a kind of roguish charm and unyielding spirit, with the restlessness unique to youth and the naive curiosity of someone just beginning to explore the world. He was a true hot-blooded young man.

Cheng Xinghe stood on the stage and sang "First Experience of Love" to the energetic rhythm of rock music:

If you want to leave me, please tell me honestly.

Don't sneak away like last time. Wait six months.

If you really want to leave, give me back my photos.

It's useless to you either. I can give it back to my mother.

Forever and ever is just empty talk.

You can't even say what you love about me.

You met a handsome guy and then ignored me.

The hot summer weather makes my heart feel like a cold winter night.

I want to buy some alcohol to drown my sorrows, but I'm too lazy to go out.

I wanted a pack of Longevity cigarettes, but then I realized I'm under 18.

......

Is it true that my eighteenth year is destined to be filled with tears for love?

The accompaniment in the middle of the song, with its alternating vocals, was pre-recorded by Li Zichun, so it sounds more like a repetition of his own voice, making it extremely catchy and addictive.

After Cheng Xinghe finished singing, it was Zhong Lingling's turn, who was also the most anticipated singer. Everyone was curious to see how far she could go under Li Zichun's tutelage.

Zhong Lingling stood on the stage, took a deep breath, and began to sing Yang Mi's hit song "The Power of Love," which had swept across major music charts and dominated the song search rankings for half a year:

Holding you in my hands, I devoutly burn incense.

Cut a piece of candlelight to light the scripture.

I don't seek epic romances, I only seek to love once.

In the end, I was hurt by love and cried so desperately.

I will dedicate my entire life to serving you.

I just hope you will stop your wandering eyes

Please give me the power to love and be loved infinitely

It allows me to peacefully meditate under the Bodhi tree.

I put you in my heart and clasped my hands together.

I silently prayed to God to guide me.

I don't ask for forever, I only ask for you to be by my side.

Tired, I drift into a gentle embrace, softly chanting Buddhist hymns.

......

I will dedicate my entire life to serving you.

There are too many troubles in this world to forget.

Your old image floats in the sea of ​​suffering.

Looking back, I realized I had already stepped out of the vast mortal world.

Li Zichun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her finish singing. Her delicate and ethereal voice was surprisingly gentle and sweet, which was indeed a breakthrough in her growth.

The most difficult hurdle has been overcome, and now it's time for the last two songs. Actually, there are more than two songs; as a final farewell, Li Zichun has also prepared a large-scale chorus for everyone at the end, which is also the promotional song for this recording.

Zhong Lingling did not disappoint Li Zichun's teachings, and even exceeded expectations. Her unique singing style and vocal techniques impressed everyone present. After Zhong Lingling finished singing, the audience was stunned. It turned out that it was indeed possible to train tone-deaf people to a level that was pleasing to the ear.

How to describe this song "The Power of Love"? You can't quite put your finger on what's so good about it, but it's certainly not bad. Paired with Zhong Lingling's voice, it's even quite pleasant to listen to. After listening to it, you'll find yourself repeatedly replaying what you just heard.

Other singers also sang along during the chorus, but none of them could capture the unique charm of Chung Ling-ling. Zhao Qianfan even whispered in his ear, "How did you teach her? This way of singing in one key is so novel!"

Li Zichun said to him irritably, "You shouldn't meddle in things you shouldn't be learning. Just focus on improving your singing technique. Your voice really can't achieve the same effect as hers."

The others around him nodded in agreement; this effect was something most people couldn't achieve! Even Fei Yu-ching forgot the lyrics while singing it!
