Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 32 Borrowing Five More Years from Heaven

This Saturday afternoon, the two families shared joy: the joy of moving to a new home, the joy of the little girl's birthday, and perhaps the joy of making new friends.

At first, the adults chatted and the young people sang, but later everyone joined in—the villa was filled with karaoke.

"I feel everything I sing."

"So it turns out you're my theme song"

"..."

The girls sang this song, and when it was Xu Jinyan's turn, he couldn't help but bring out "Huo Yuanjia." He truly felt that no matter how well he did outside, no one treated him like a star at home, and he had to do whatever he was supposed to do.

Only the old lady and Qin Shuyin provided enough emotional value. Xu Qian was probably jealous of his good opera singing, while Xu Yunge felt a bit embarrassed after seeing himself in the MV.

Then the young people went to the recording studio to listen to their own voices. Old Xu also gave them some pronunciation guidance.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Mr. and Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief. How long had it been since their child had been this happy since his grandmother passed away!

They ended up having dinner together that evening, and the Qin family praised the old lady's cooking skills highly.

Around eight o'clock during dinner, Li Ruyue asked, "Jinyan's new song is about to be released, right? I remember you announced on Weibo that it would be at eight o'clock."

Xu Jinyan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Aunt Li, it's a theme song for a web series, but I didn't sing it."

Qin's father laughed and said, "It's almost eight o'clock, and it's getting late. Let's enjoy Jin Yan's new song together and then head home. Although it's just outside the door, it's not good to bother you any longer. I'm really happy today, hahaha."

Everyone moved to the sofa in the living room, waiting for the show to begin.

Qin Shuyin then asked, "Brother Jinyan, why didn't you sing one yourself? If you sang another song, you'd be a top-tier singer!"

Xu Jinyan: This kid speaks so nicely, as if winning the weekly championship is a piece of cake for him, although it really isn't that difficult.

He shook his head helplessly: "I can't sing this song."

Xu Wenqing cast a questioning look at him: You were taught by me step by step, and you're still not good enough?

Xu Jinyan returned an affirmative look: Yes, you're not a good teacher!

Old Xu turned his gaze back to the television; he wanted to hear if it was really that difficult.

After a brief "GG" (GG) period, "Zheng Chenggong, the Hero of the Last Road" was released.

The song begins with a somber voice: "As a subject, I can only sacrifice myself for my country. Even if I die, I will never shave my head and surrender to the Qing, leaving behind an eternal infamy."

This was followed by a powerful piece of music, creating a profound sense of epic grandeur that invigorated them. Then, a crisp percussion sound began, introducing the verse:

"Following the undulating landscape, its gentle curves unfold."

"Love in the Central Plains, love in the North and the South."

"Faced with the icy blades and snowy winds, the rain offers tender companionship."

Cherish the golden years that Heaven has bestowed upon me.

As Teacher Li Tian's voice rang out, everyone seemed to truly feel a lonely general dissecting his own heart. He deeply loved the land that had given him birth and nurtured him. He was grateful that he was in the prime of his life, which allowed him to do everything in his power to protect this land, even if he encountered ice blades and snow swords, he would not be deterred by wind and snow.

"Be a person of integrity and courage, and you will have nothing to fear in the face of hardship."

"Our passion remains unchanged year after year."

Life has its ups and downs; good and evil are two sides of the same coin.

"All for the tomorrow in my dreams"

Next, it was Teacher Li's changing voice and emotions that influenced everyone. The land was shattered, blood was everywhere, and resentment filled the world. Everyone watched Zheng Chenggong on TV, riding alone on horseback, looking at the dawn sky. Their eyes were filled with complex emotions, including a resolute fighting spirit that was ready to die for his country, as well as the cold cruelty of reality. In the end, it all turned into the most beautiful thing - hope.

Then, Teacher Li used his unique timbre to perfectly blend emotion and technique in his performance:

"Behold the clanging of iron hooves, traversing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

"I stand at the forefront of the storm, holding fast to the revolving sun and moon."

"Blood floods the world, but peace and happiness prevail."

"I really want to live another five hundred years."

"I really want to live another five hundred years."

Finally, Li Tian's roar merged with Zheng Chenggong's bloodshot-eyed howl to the sky in the scene, as if it were truly the general's last words of unwillingness: "My lofty ambitions were not fulfilled before I died, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow."

As the opening theme ended, everyone was momentarily dazed, as the tragic atmosphere created by Li Tian's singing combined with the television visuals was simply too intense.

Xu Jinyan looked at his father first and gave him a look: If you're so capable, why don't you do it?

Xu Wenqing couldn't be bothered with this unfilial son and didn't even glance at him.

Qin's father was the first to stand up, and looked at Xu Jinyan with some emotion, saying, "What a wonderful song! Teacher Xu is truly talented."

Xu Jinyan also stood up and said, "Uncle Qin, you're too kind. It's mainly because Teacher Li Tian sang so well." You've finally called me "teacher," Old Qin.

Li Ruyue smiled and said, "Jinyan, your songs are really good. From now on, our whole family will be your fans. It's good that we met today, so it will be easier to follow your idol in the future."

"Aunt Li, from now on you'll have to pay to download all my songs." You won't even call me "teacher," and you call yourself a fan?

After a few more words, Qin's parents left. Yes, just the two of them. Qin Shuyin stayed at Xu Jinyan's house.

She decided to sleep here with Xu Yunge that night. The others also wanted to see what the TV series was like, so they decided to stay the night as well, since there were plenty of rooms available and disposable toiletries were provided.

Xu Jinyan sat on the sofa next to her and started playing on her phone.

In the short time that followed, he had already received thanks from Zhang Kai and Li Tian, ​​as well as praise from Yu Shan, Mao Xiaotong, and others.

Zhao Liying: "Jinyan, I've made up my mind. I absolutely have to ask you to write the theme song for my next drama. You have to promise me!" The two became friends after singing karaoke together.

Xu Jinyan: "Sister Liying, it's very expensive for me to write songs, and the production team might not agree."

"It's okay, I'm a producer now, so I decide who writes the songs. You're agreeing, right? No going back on your word."

"I'll charge you the full price then; your song will definitely be worth more than its price."

"Let me tell you, I was so moved by your opening theme song that my eyes welled up with tears. Teacher Li Tian sang it very well, but the main credit goes to you. You are truly talented."

Xu Jinyan: "Stop praising me! Stop praising me! If you keep praising me, the price will go up again!"

"Hahaha, I can afford it!"

Zhao Liying is not wrong; she has now entered the realm of capital.

Xu Jinyan, however, didn't seem to care. Big businesses can bully their customers, and similarly, big customers can bully their businesses. Talent is the most important thing. While Canglan Entertainment, with its complete industry chain, certainly can't become a "Xu Jinyan concept stock," Xu Jinyan will definitely play a crucial role in stabilizing the industry in the future.

His phone received another WeChat notification from Lin Gengxin. He wondered what new tricks this guy would come up with to praise him. He opened it and saw:

"Be careful what you say, get on the phone!"

Nima!

Didn't we agree to contribute to each other's viewership ratings? At that time, Sister Zhao hadn't arrived yet, but she watched it while you didn't?

He felt he had been too kind to Lin Gengxin, so he decided to change his nickname to "Lin Dog" first.

As for logging in?

So what if you log in? Do you really think you're some kind of invincible Silver rank? Don't you even know what it means to play dumb to fool others?

……

……

at the same time.

The crew of "Three Lives, Three Ashes" in Hengdian.

After congratulating Xu Jinyan, Mao Xiaotong started watching the show.

A little while later, Yang Mi and Dilraba arrived and casually asked, "What drama is this? Is it good?"

Yang Mi is the lead actress and main investor in the production team, Dilraba Dilmurat plays the second female lead, and Mao Xiaotong plays the third female lead.

"Honey, this is a web series that just went live today, called 'Zheng Chenggong, the Hero of the Last Road.' I've just started watching it, so I don't know what to think yet."

Yang Mi asked with a smile, "Does your boyfriend have a role in it?"

She knew that Mao Xiaotong's boyfriend had debuted as a singer and was now also working as an actor.

Mao Xiaotong shook her head and said, "No, the theme song for this drama was written by a friend of mine. It's quite nice, so I just wanted to check out the plot."

Dilraba asked curiously, "What song is it?"

Mao Xiaotong said, "It's called 'Borrowing Five Hundred Years from Heaven,' written by Xu Jinyan and sung by Teacher Li Tian." As she spoke, she turned the video back to the beginning so that the two of them could listen to it again.

Dilraba's eyes lit up slightly when she heard Xu Jinyan's name. She looked closely at the screen; she quite liked his songs.

After listening, Yang Mi nodded and said, "It's really a good song. I even want to watch the show now."

Dilraba nodded in agreement, "I'd like to too." Then, she asked curiously, "Why doesn't he sing such a good song himself?"

Mao Xiaotong glanced at her in surprise: "He said it's mainly a matter of timbre; some songs only have the right feel when sung with that timbre. He also said that Teacher Li Tian has the voice of an emperor, and this song was specially written for Teacher Li to sing."

Yang Mi stood to the side, deep in thought. She had some ideas. This drama was of utmost importance. It would be wonderful if there was a theme song that would make people want to watch the drama just by hearing it.

Moreover, she can sing herself, after all, her voice is quite unique.
