510: Chapter 510 Guangdong Province Opening Ceremony
Helpless, Lin Chuyan had to explain to his father that he actually had many expenses and that the money he earned was all being invested into his career. Only then was he barely able to soothe his father's worries.
In fact, Lin Chuyan wasn't lying. His biggest "pit" right now was the "mythology universe" mega-project that was currently in its startup phase. This project was a bottomless pit; no matter how much money he threw into it, there wasn't even a sound in return. Every capitalist shook their head and took their leave after hearing him explain it.
However, for Lin Chuyan at this stage, money was just a number. Of course, he wanted to enjoy life, but his material desires were low. In his view, knowing how to spend money meaningfully and valuably was the true skill.
The "mythology universe" project was very meaningful—perhaps it was just a romantic fantasy, but someone had to be the first to try, right? As for value, there was something in this world called long-term value. He was still young, and since he had the chance to reach for it in this lifetime, it was worth a try.
Director Yang Xiaozhou completely agreed with Lin Chuyan's ideas.
He himself was the type of person who could calm his heart and polish his work; for example, his debut film that won an award abroad was something he had spent three years completing on his own.
Director Yang Xiaozhou and Lin Chuyan reached a consensus on this aspect: the capitalists in the Chinese Entertainment Industry who occupied positions without doing any work, especially people like Director Deng Yu, should be avoided whenever possible. In the eyes of Lin and Yang, even though these people had already achieved financial freedom, they would not let go of any opportunity to make money and would insist on scraping up every last cent before they were willing to stop. If you told them, "Let's work together to help Chinese cinema and Chinese culture stand at the pinnacle of the world..." they would just think you were crazy and that you'd be better off researching how to practice usury instead of having such thoughts.
Furthermore, Director Yang Xiaozhou would occasionally participate in the "mythology universe" planning meetings, which confirmed one thing for him again: apart from idealists like him and Lin Chuyan, truly no one else would do such a foolish thing.
... The chosen one in Director Yang Xiaozhou's eyes, the one who "really knew the industry, was truly wealthy, and was truly daring enough to spend," was still holding his concert.
In Yangcheng, Lin Chuyan's fans loved him more intimately and crazily than people elsewhere. The reason was simple: Lin Chuyan was one of their own, born and raised right here. If they didn't spoil their own people, then who would they spoil?
Fortunately, love was mutual, and Lin Chuyan also doted on his fans.
In addition to the two Cantonese songs already released, "in the storm" and "who understands the wanderers heart," he also brought out "First Love" and "Need You Every Minute," which he had been hiding for a long time, to sing.
These two songs had actually been prepared for a long time and were just being saved to fill out a Cantonese album. Since there was a perfect opportunity this time, he generously presented them to the Yangcheng audience.
Regarding this fan-doting behavior from Lin Chuyan, the fans had only one thought: Please, by all means, increase the intensity!
Brother's song reserve... it really made people love him and hate him at the same time.
Besides these Cantonese songs, there were of course the new songs from the new album "a thousand words." The feedback from the live audience for "sunny day," "tear bridge," and "the art of war" was all very good.
However, none of these could compare to "boundless oceans, vast skies."
Without being there in person, it might be hard to imagine what kind of soul-stirring scene it was to have tens of thousands of people singing "boundless oceans, vast skies" in unison in the home base of Guangdong Province.
"Are you ready?" As Lin Chuyan's voice fell, the stage lights lit up, and a beam of light shone upon him.
When Lin Chuyan appeared on stage bare-chested, the venue instantly erupted with thunderous cheers—it was happening!
"Today, I watched the snow drift by on a cold night." As the first line of lyrics rang out, the entire venue was instantly ignited.
The voices of tens of thousands of people converged, like a surging tide, with waves of sound coming one after another.
Not to mention the audience, it was the kind of scene where even the security guards couldn't help but join in.
Lin Chuyan stood on the stage, infected by this powerful emotion, singing with more and more immersion, more and more passion.
His voice echoed throughout the stadium, intertwining with the chorus of the audience below. The charm of music was pushed to the extreme at this moment; the emotions of everyone on and off stage connected into one, and the song "boundless oceans, vast skies" seemed to have been imbued with magic.
Some people were moved to tears, some felt incredibly uplifted, and some sang until their throats were hoarse yet were still unwilling to stop... The singing resonated, the emotions resonated, and countless heartbeats pulsed at the same frequency, converging into an indescribable power.
On this land of Blue Star, it seemed that no Cantonese song had ever been able to resonate so deeply with so many people in Guangdong Province like "boundless oceans, vast skies."
It crossed the boundaries of age and gender, becoming an emotional bond that tightly connected everyone.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, it was no longer just a song, but a shared emotional sustenance for the people of Guangdong Province, a longing for freedom, for dreams, and for the future.
The chorus began. The climax of the song finally arrived.
"Forgive me for being unbridled and indulgent in my love for freedom in this life!"
"And also for fearing that one day I might fall!"
Lin Chuyan's voice became increasingly passionate, and the audience responded loudly. At this moment, all fatigue, confusion, and anxiety were cast to the back of their minds, leaving only a love for music and a fearlessness toward life.
Still have homework unfinished today? Have to wake up early tomorrow to squeeze onto the subway for work? Just quit your job to start your own business?
Who in this world hasn't encountered difficulties, but at the very least, right now, we can still "boundless oceans, vast skies" together!
The melody of "boundless oceans, vast skies" echoed in the night sky for a long time, as if it were telling the story of the people of Guangdong Province: no matter how difficult the future might be, as long as there is a dream in one's heart, nothing can stop their steps in chasing freedom.
When the last line of lyrics fell, and the sound of the electric Guitar rang out, "boundless oceans, vast skies" finally drew a perfect period inside the stadium.
Lin Chuyan stood in the center of the stage, hands raised high, sweat sliding down his cheeks, yet it could not cover the light in his eyes; instead, it added a unique kind of masculine charm to him.
"boundless oceans, vast skies, thank you everyone!"
... It was after this show that the two words "Provincial Anthem" began to be mentioned by the people of Guangdong Province.
There was no help for it; they truly loved Lin Chuyan, and they also loved this song.
The proposer argued convincingly: [First, it is a Cantonese song. Secondly, it symbolizes the pursuit of freedom and ideals, which highly aligns with the spirit of our Guangdong Province people who are brave in striving and pursuing dreams. Furthermore, I can actually belt this song out, which is very important, okay! Then, this song is popular enough, and it can avoid being just a self-indulgent act. Finally, this song is sung by Lin Chuyan; this person has no scandals, his reputation is incredibly good, and it is highly likely he won't have his reputation collapse. In summary, "boundless oceans, vast skies" is simply too perfect to be the Provincial Anthem!]
With reason and evidence, it was convincing. Although it was only a few people mentioning it for now, once this trend started, it couldn't be suppressed anymore.
