"A very good evaluation, and I think so too," Zhang Li nodded with a smile.
Then he looked at Zhang Yang. Although this was his first collaboration with Zhang Yang on "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," they were all from the Jiangnan troupe and had some contact in normal times.
"Zhang Yang, why don't you say something?" Zhang Li said.
"Hmm..." Zhang Yang pondered. He actually wanted to put on a big show and directly say, "Jiangnan, just a writer."
But he also knew the occasion. At this time, he definitely couldn't say that, otherwise, observant viewers would immediately guess it was Su Yu, as many people knew his relationship with Su Yu.
"How to put it... he's just very special, rarely seen..." Zhang Yang rattled off a string of adjectives, but none of them hit the mark.
"Damn it, said it but didn't say it all!"
"Said it for nothing!"
"As expected of you, I understood it all, and yet I understood none of it..."
"Next!!"
The audience couldn't take it anymore. This person was like chanting scriptures, saying a lot of useless nonsense.
They all shouted for the next person.
"Teacher Wu Xingyang, would you like to say a few words?" Zhang Li stifled his laughter.
"I have always been very respectful of Teacher Jiangnan. If I were to describe him, I am a coarse person, so I will use a martial arts character to describe him. Teacher Jiangnan is like an omnipotent reclusive senior, a grandmaster. Just his appearance makes people feel extremely at ease!"
Wu Xingyang's description broadened the audience's range of speculation.
No matter how you looked at it, it sounded like a description of an old man.
Could it be that Jiangnan was an elderly person?
"Zhang Qingyun, would you like to say a few words?" Zhang Li looked at Zhang Qingyun again.
"Okay!" Zhang Qingyun couldn't wait any longer. This was a legitimate opportunity to flatter Jiangnan, so he naturally wouldn't give it up.
He cleared his throat.
Zhang Qingyun showed a look of deep respect.
"In my heart, Teacher Jiangnan is like the most dazzling sun. He seems to possess infinite energy, giving people infinite pressure, as if looking at him any longer would cause an explosion, and getting any closer would cause one to melt..."
Zhang Qingyun's words became increasingly fantastical, immediately causing dissatisfaction among many viewers.
However, as the camera panned across the actors, their expressions were surprisingly in agreement!
This was because.
There was nothing wrong with what he said.
Because in everyone's heart, Jiangnan was indeed this kind of image.
"Are you kidding me? Jiangnan is now the sun?"
"Looking at him longer causes an explosion, getting closer causes you to melt, are you f\*\*king thinking this is cultivation?"
"Outrageous, not a single word of truth from these people, it's impossible to guess who Jiangnan is."
"Let's just wait for the International Film Festival, and let Old Thief reveal himself!"
"Is this Xinghui's corporate culture? One is better at flattering than the other..."
The audience complained furiously.
Zhang Li and the other actors were also stifling their laughter.
The host, Lin Han, seeing that time was running out, moved on to the next segment.
"Thank you to the teachers for your descriptions. After listening, I'm even more questioning my existence."
Lin Han's complaint was recognized by many viewers.
"So, I believe everyone is very much looking forward to Ting Yu's new song, right?"
After Lin Han finished speaking.
The bullet comments, filled with fans of Ting Yu who had been waiting for a long time, began to scroll wildly!
"Damn it, it's finally time for the theme song segment!"
"Ting Yu is really a good guy. Jiangnan Old Thief's music for every work is handled entirely by him!"
"Actually, Jiangnan's identity is easy to guess. Someone who can make Ting Yu work so hard must have a very deep relationship with him, and this scope is very small. First of all, it can't be Lin Yanyu or Gong Juren, because their ages are different from the situation described just now. And with such a young prodigy, it's already heaven-defying for the entertainment industry to have one Ting Yu. So I infer that Jiangnan is likely Lin Chaoyang!"
"I agree with this inference, because in the entire entertainment industry, only Lin Chaoyang can make Ting Yu work so hard and earn the respect of so many top stars. After all, he is Ting Yu's father-in-law, and the biggest capitalist in the entertainment industry!"
"The case is solved, Jiangnan Old Thief is definitely Lin Chaoyang!"
It had to be Ting Yu's fans.
Soon, they figured out the whole story.
The rumor that Lin Chaoyang was Ting Yu had been around for a long time. Because there weren't many people with a good relationship with Ting Yu, only a few. Today, the descriptions of Jiangnan by everyone made many viewers lock onto Jiangnan's age.
Lin Chaoyang fit perfectly!
On stage, Zhang Li and others looked at the bullet comments on the big screen, their expressions becoming even more peculiar.
"Let us invite the King of Singers, Zhang Wei, to bring us the latest theme song of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'!"
Lin Han saw that the audience was still guessing Jiangnan's identity, and it seemed that not only Jiangnan's fans were curious about his identity, but Ting Yu's fans were also very curious.
However, as a host, he had to have the ability to drive the narrative. He immediately moved on from this topic, leaving it for everyone to discuss on Weibo. After the theme song segment, it would be time for the premiere, and there wasn't much time left for the audience to discuss.
Live broadcasts were like this; every segment had very strict time regulations.
After Lin Han finished speaking, Zhang Wei, who had been sitting aside for a long time, finally stood up.
He took the microphone handed to him by a staff member and walked to the center of the stage.
"Zhang Wei! King of Singers!!"
"Is this Zhang Wei's first performance after being nominated for King of Singers?"
"Looking forward to Zhang Wei's performance. I boldly guess this song should be in Cantonese!"
"Can Cantonese also write songs in a martial arts style?"
"Who the hell said that the theme song of a martial arts drama must be in a martial arts style?"
"Are there still people questioning Ting Yu's songwriting ability? Do you know what Zhang Wei plus Ting Yu represents?"
"Haha, it represents that this song will be the nightmare of all cover versions!"
The song "Rao Nian De Jing" (The Difficult Sutra) had been covered by many singers.
However, no one could sing it with Zhang Wei's soul. Some powerful singers had even become the subject of massive fails when singing this song.
Therefore, a saying circulated online: Zhang Wei plus Ting Yu equals the nightmare of cover versions!
"Let's begin!"
Zhang Wei didn't say much nonsense and nodded to the staff.
Then, the lights on the stage dimmed.
Because it wasn't a professional large-scale stage, there wasn't much in terms of stage presentation.
On the big screen, the song information appeared.
"Nan Nian De Jing" (The Difficult Sutra)
Singer: Zhang Wei
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
In Su Yu's previous life, this song "Nan Nian De Jing" was the most classic theme song of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," so he naturally chose this song.
In terms of difficulty, this song also had a high threshold for cover versions. Su Yu found Zhang Wei to audition, and then guided him on some important parts of the song and some vocal techniques. Now, Zhang Wei could perfectly perform this song.
In Su Yu's opinion, this song was a good choice to help Zhang Wei solidify his position as the King of Singers.
Moreover, in this drama, Su Yu also retained the "Qiao Feng's BGM" meme. When the great hero Qiao appeared, he would have "Nan Nian De Jing" as his background music, making the drama more topical.
Therefore, choosing "Nan Nian De Jing" as the theme song for this drama was the best choice.
