Time was running out!
Every second counts!
"Who's going up?"
"There's only Teacher Zhang left."
"There's no time. Old Zhao is still waiting. Let's make a decision quickly. This is a foreign country. Every move we make is related to the overall image of our country. We can't embarrass ourselves."
"Didn't Teacher Zhang say that it was possible?"
"That's settled then."
"Teacher Zhang, you've worked hard."
Everyone came to an agreement.
Zhang Ye looked at them. "Then I'll be joining in?"
Amy sighed. "There's no one else."
Zhang Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Sure, but I don't have a band?"
Xu Meilan said, "A band?"
Big Qi said, "Yeah, how do we get a band?"
Suddenly, Zhang Ye asked, "Amy, I heard that you know how to play the drums?"
Amy was taken aback. "Ah? Ah, yes. "
Zhang Ye looked at Xiaodong. "Sister Dong, your bass skills haven't fallen behind, right?"
Xiaodong was dumbfounded. "Huh? It's alright. "
Zhang Ye glanced at Li Xiaoxian. "Classmate Xiaoxian, can you still play the guitar?"
Li Xiaoxian was stunned. "Uh, probably."
Zhang Ye snapped his fingers. "Alright, the band is ready!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The three people from Spring Garden also exclaimed, "No, we can't do it. This is a heavy metal performance. We haven't even played rock before, much less heavy metal. Teacher Zhang, don't drag us down with you. Find someone else. Didn't the organizers just borrow a band?"
Zhang Ye glanced at them and said, "Do you think that I'm interested in your standards? There's no one else left. The band that the organizers hired are all foreigners and I didn't get to know them beforehand. I can't communicate with them on the song either. There's not enough time either, so it's just the three of you!"
Big Qi said, "Yeah, only the few of you here are professional musicians."
Ning Lan smiled and said, "You can't possibly ask me and Old Jiang to do it, right?"
Xiaodong broke down. "Alright."
Amy was also close to tears. "I'll give it a try."
Xiaoxian, you cooperate with me. The melody should go like this — When I say the tone, you have to follow — Sister Dong, you should go like this — Amy, you don't have to do anything and just improvise — It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, just keep up with my rhythm. Don't mess it up and hold it down. Then, when it comes to the B-part, we'll continue this loop, alright? "
He talked and wrote.
The people from Spring Garden were stunned.
Amy said in surprise, "Which song is this?"
Xiaodong also asked, "I don't think I've heard this melody before. Is there such a song? "
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "Why do you care about the song? I'm the one singing it anyway."
Li Xiaoxian was the most obedient. "Alright, I understand, Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Ye looked at his watch. "Let's go!"
Xiaodong facepalmed and braced herself to follow behind Zhang Ye.
Amy also gritted her teeth and glared at them. She looked like she was facing death with equanimity.
Ning Lan watched them leave and was amused. "Why do these guys look like they're going to the execution ground?"
Big Qi asked worriedly, "Will, will this work?"
Xu Meilan laughed and said, "It's all up to him whether it works or not."
Big Qi said, "I'm just afraid that Teacher Zhang's English will be too poor. If he gets his English pronunciation wrong while singing a foreign song, that would be so embarrassing. There are so many foreigners in the audience."
Jiang Hanwei was also shaking his head vigorously. This impromptu band was too casual.
Backstage.
Zhao Wuliu was panicking.
Chen Guang was also around and was discussing countermeasures with him.
At this moment, Zhang Ye brought his team over. "When are we going onstage?"
Chen Guang was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"
Xiaodong gave a wry smile. "We're here to save the day."
Zhao Wuliu was pleasantly surprised. "That's great! At such a critical moment, it's still our bro! Teacher Zhang, you're the lead singer? Do you really know how to play heavy metal? "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I know a lot."
Chen Guang said, "You can sing in English?"
Zhang Ye smiled but did not say anything.
Zhao Wuliu said, "Whatever, I'll inform the organizers first and get them to substitute."
He brought the interpreter with him and went to look for someone. After communicating for a long time, it was finally settled.
During this time, Zhang Ye seized the time to discuss the song with the three members of Spring Garden. He discussed with them when to go for the tempo and when to increase the intensity. Fortunately, they were all old friends and had performed together on the same stage before, so there was still some chemistry between them.
At this moment, a Korean staff member came over and said something to them.
The interpreter immediately said, "It's your turn!"
Zhang Ye smiled. "Comrades, let's go!"
Xiaodong said, "Alright!"
Amy said, "Damn, let's go all out!"
Li Xiaoxian said, "I'm going all out too!"
Chen Guang called out to him. "Eh, why didn't you change your clothes? You're still wearing Chinese clothes! "
But Zhang Ye reached out and adjusted his collar that resembled a traditional Chinese suit. "There's no need to change!"
Chen Guang had a helpless look on his face. He really couldn't imagine what they could sing.
The four of them took a deep breath in the waiting area. Then Zhang Ye leaped up and led them onto the stage!
In such a large venue!
There were nearly 10,000 people in the audience!
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to them!
…
The American audience.
“WHAT？”
"Who's that?"
"I don't know."
"Why does his outfit look so strange?"
"Is he from China?"
…
The Korean audience.
"Ah, isn't this Spring Garden!"
"It's them! Xiaodong, Amy, and Li Xiaoxian!"
"Did they get the wrong place?"
"Yeah, this is a heavy metal music festival, not a pop music festival!"
"Who's that man over there?"
"I know him. He's Zhang Ye!"
"What? He's Zhang Ye? That Heavenly King from China? "
"Right!"
…
The Chinese students.
"Ahhh!"
"Zhang Ye!"
"It's Zhang Ye!"
"Damn, what's that fellow doing here?"
"And Spring Garden too?"
"What are they trying to do? Where's Teacher Zhao Wuliu? "
"Why did they switch out?"
"How could Zhang Ye know how to sing heavy metal!"
"That's right, this fellow's English is worse than a junior high student's!"
"Is that a traditional Chinese suit?"
"It's a modified version of a traditional Chinese suit, right? How can he sing heavy metal in that? Shouldn't he at least get a pair of leather pants? "
"Pfft, this fellow is too unprofessional!"
"They're trying to stir up trouble!"
…
The various heavy metal bands were also shaking their heads.
Especially the Japanese and Korean bands, they had a lot of opinions about this.
"What is this?"
"Are they going to sing heavy metal?"
"They don't look like it just from the way they're dressed."
"Where did they come from?"
"They're from China? Only China doesn't have any heavy metal music. "
"They must be covering someone else's song again. How boring."
"It's a good heavy metal music festival, so why did they invite the Chinese people? Are they trying to mess things up? "
"If they sing the songs they've prepared, they won't be able to sing anymore? Their standards are too low. "
"What do you mean?"
"A Korean band changed their song just now and it clashed with the song chosen by China."
"There's such a thing? So they can't sing anymore? They can only switch out? But that's true, China doesn't have their own heavy metal music. How many songs could they possibly sing? "
…
In the VIP seats.
Chen Guang and Zhao Wuliu also returned to their seats.
Ning Lan called out, "Hurry up and take a seat, it's starting soon."
Chen Guang was not looking forward to it at all.
Zhao Wuliu's heart was pounding as he silently cheered them on.
Xu Meilan's beautiful eyes were fixed on the stage.
Big Qi shouted, "Go! Go! "
…
Onstage.
Zhang Ye was standing there steadily.
Xiaodong and the other two sat down in front of their instruments.
Zhang Ye was very unhappy when he heard the audience's mutterings and the not-so-enthusiastic applause. The bands that had performed earlier did not receive such treatment like they did. Just because he was dressed in a traditional Chinese suit? Did they think that he didn't know heavy metal? Just because he was from China, they thought that he didn't know heavy metal?
Zhang Ye found it laughable and lamented at the same time.
Thinking back to the golden age of Tang Dynasty, how strong and prosperous was China?
At that time, we didn't have anything?
At that time, what couldn't we do?
At that time, who in the world would dare to go against us?
Change my clothes?
Change my clothes for a heavy metal band?
Bullsh * t!
I'll be wearing this outfit today!
I'll be wearing this traditional Chinese suit today!
I'll let you have a taste of China's heavy metal!
Zhang Ye's electric guitar suddenly started playing!
A deafening melody filled the entire venue. The heavy metal style of the melody surprised everyone who heard it. They looked up in shock and stared at Zhang Ye onstage!
The bass entered the stage!
The drums started playing!
The melody gradually rose!
Zhang Ye had a look of reminiscence on his face. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and his metallic voice resounded throughout the venue. When he opened his mouth, the entire audience exclaimed. The China international students were stunned. Chen Guang was stunned. Xu Meilan was stunned. Ning Lan was stunned. Even the three members of Spring Garden who were accompanying Zhang Ye were so shocked that they nearly dropped their instruments!
Zhang Ye sang.
"Chrysanthemum, ancient sword, and wine!
"Soaked in coffee, the hustle and bustle of the pavilions!
"The alien races worship the ancient moon at the Sun Altar!
"The golden age of the Kaiyuan era is fascinating!!!"
Everyone was petrified!
Chinese!
Heavens!
Why is he singing Chinese!
Chen Guang and Zhao Wuliu looked at each other in shock!
Ning Lan gasped!
Big Qi's eyes widened!
Xu Meilan immediately stood up!
Zhang Ye sang loudly.
"Wind! Can't blow away long regrets!
"Flowers! Can't be stained by nostalgia!
"Snow! Can't reflect the mountains and rivers!
"Moon! Can't fulfill an ancient dream! "
He suddenly raised his right hand and opened his palm, singing loudly.
"Along the lines of my palm, I brand my fate!
"Tonight, I sober up without dreams!
"Following fate, I walk into a myth!
"Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty!!!!"
In a dream?
Back to the Tang Dynasty?
It was as though a grand painting was unfolding before everyone's eyes!
In an instant, the Chinese international students roared and stood up!
The Western audience stood up in shock. How was this possible!
The Korean audience was dumbfounded and had looks of disbelief on their faces!
God!
This was China's own heavy metal?
This was China's own heavy metal music?!
That was impossible!
Didn't China not have any heavy metal music!
That was impossible!
How could this song be even better than our heavy metal music?
A lot of people were dumbfounded!
Zhang Ye sang loudly.
"Tonight, the bright moon is reflected in the cup!
"Men plough the fields while women weave silk!
"Tonight, the bright moon is reflected in the cup!
"Every treasure is reflected in the cup!
"Tonight, the bright moon is reflected in the cup!
"Fragrant paper, flying ink, and poems fill the river!
"Tonight, the bright moon is reflected in the cup!
"Heroes and heroism shine brightly!!!!"
Amy's blood was boiling as the drumsticks kept hitting the drums!
Xiaodong was playing the bass with an intoxicated look on her face!
Zhang Ye suddenly lowered his voice and shouted in a dramatic manner, "Let's go.
"Reminiscing on the heyday of Kaiyuan!
"All our friends in the world are glued to each other!
"Our horizons are boundless and the world is wide!
"For the safety of millions of buildings!!"
He suddenly raised his right hand!
Chen Guang raised his hand!
Zhao Wuliu raised his hand!
Big Qi raised his hand!
Even Ning Lan, who did not like heavy metal, impulsively raised her right hand!
The entire venue was in an uproar!
The entire venue responded!
One hand!
A hundred hands!
A thousand hands!
Zhang Ye took a deep breath and roared.
"Following the lines of my palm, I brand my destiny!
"Sobering up with no dreams tonight!
"Following the path of fate into a myth!
"It feels like I've returned to the Tang Dynasty of my dreams!!!!"
It was a magnificent sight!
That splendor!
That surge of emotions!
That sense of heroism!
It was crazy!
Everyone was going crazy!
At this moment, Chen Guang and Zhao Wuliu were all fired up!
At this moment, many of the China international students were in tears!
This was our own heavy metal music!
Today, China finally had its own true heavy metal music!
…
On this day.
On this day.
In Zhang Ye's previous world, China's pioneering heavy metal music, China's most classic heavy metal music, and China's most maddening heavy metal music — "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty" made its debut!
Dressed in a Tang suit.
"Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty."
Zhang Ye and Spring Garden shocked Asia!
