Chapter 441: Evening Wind Blows in My Heart

Shenzhen, BinHai DaDao, Jiang Heng drives a red Ferrari at high speed, a Cantonese song playing inside the car.

At this moment, Jiang Heng doesn't look like an internationally acclaimed director who has achieved fame and success; instead, he looks like a top-tier rich second-generation who is indulged in a decadent, luxurious life.

After all, judging by his age, he's only in his early thirties; combined with wealth nurturing his appearance, if he dresses a bit more trendy, he really is both young and handsome.

"May the evening wind blow in my heart"

"Blow away my tears"

"Like a kite chasing you, I wish to wait for you a lifetime and keep your true feelings."

"In the dream, that lamp of returning home"

During this time in Xianggang, Jiang Heng wasn't just busy with TV station work; he also found time to look for a record company to record a single for himself, which is the 《Evening Wind Blows in My Heart》 he just sang.

Speaking of this song, it's truly too classic; as soon as it starts, it feels like returning to the classic era of Cantonese songs, with deep lyrics and a beautiful melody.

Perhaps it's because he had been away from Xianggang for too long and suddenly returned, or perhaps it's from wandering around and being moved by the scenery; the melody of 《Evening Wind Blows in My Heart》 suddenly popped into his mind and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Anyway, he had the conditions, so Jiang Heng went to Baoli Jin and asked them to record a single for him.

Baoli Jin's executives initially thought Jiang Heng was joking; they knew he was an internationally acclaimed director, knew he was good at martial arts, but singing… well, Jiang Heng had appeared on the Chunwan before, so he had sung before.

However, when Jiang Heng first appeared on the Chunwan, he mainly performed martial arts, and the song he sang was just a "mouth-water song" (a simple tune), showing no real vocal skill.

Moreover, the Xianggang music scene has been somewhat declining this year.

You, a big director, crossing over to just record a single as a hobby… but when Jiang Heng took out the lyrics and music, and after singing with the accompaniment, everyone in the recording studio was dumbfounded.

Afterwards, the executives discussed with Jiang Heng, asking if they could give him an album, with the lyrics and music not needing his worry, as professionals would naturally handle it.

Jiang Heng didn't have the leisure to work on an album; he took the finished single and left.

After that, for a period of time, he often drove around listening to songs.

This time, too, after hearing that the 《Battle Through the Heavens》 crew was coming to Shenzhen for promotion, thinking they had been working hard on recent events, he prepared to go over and reward them.

Passing by ShenZhen Wan GongYuan, Jiang Heng felt it was a bit early, so he prepared to stop the car and go into the park to have a look.

Suddenly hearing a phone notification, after stopping the car he glanced and saw it was a message from Guli Nazha, asking if he would come over tonight.

"This message was sent!"

Jiang Heng chuckled, obviously his mind wandered elsewhere for a moment.

He casually replied, "Mm, I'll come over later to treat you; if there's anything you want to eat, you can order it!"

"Wow, that's great, but I've never been to Shenzhen before, I don't know what's good to eat here; Teacher, do you have any good recommendations?"

"Mm, then let's take you to try some Cantonese cuisine!"

"Great, great, happy! Is there anything fun to play around here in Shenzhen? After getting off the plane I rushed to the cinema, I haven't properly seen the scenery here!"

Jiang Heng laughed, thought for a moment, and replied: "Then, after your event ends, come to ShenZhen Wan GongYuan; I'll take you around!"

"Great, great!"

Inside the cinema, Guli Nazha saw Jiang Heng's reply to her message, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

After waiting a while with no further message, she then put her phone away.

Then she couldn't help wondering why Director Jiang didn't want to come pick her up; must be because he's afraid of reporters, right! Throughout the promotional event, Guli Nazha had a dazed, thoughtful expression.

The host, smiling, asked, "Xiao'er, are you thinking about Xiao Yan?"

This made Zhang Wei beside her look awkward, while Guli Nazha openly said she was shaken by the enthusiasm of the local fans and audience.

After the event ended, Guli Nazha said goodbye to the deputy head of her team, then left the cinema under the escort of her assistant and driver. Given her current popularity, it would be somewhat difficult for her to sneak away unnoticed.

But after leaving the cinema, once she put on a baseball cap, sunglasses, and mask, the problem wasn't big.

Not long after arriving at ShenZhen Wan GongYuan, Guli Nazha got out of the car, told her assistant and driver to go back first, then called Jiang Heng.

"Teacher, where are you? I've come in!"

"Stand there and wait for me!"

After hanging up, less than two minutes later a red Ferrari pulled up nearby, the window rolled down, revealing a young and handsome face, "Get in!"

Guli Nazha was dumbfounded; for a moment she didn't react, thinking it was some wealthy scion from a rich family, only after a few seconds did she recognize it was Jiang Heng.

Guli Nazha went around the front of the car to the passenger seat; Jiang Heng saw her walking with a swaying grace and inexplicably recalled the popular "getting in the car" meme from Douyin.

"Teacher, your outfit is completely different from usual!" After Guli Nazha got into the car, she still had a look of not having reacted.

Jiang Heng laughed and said, "This year is a year of rest and recuperation, so naturally I come however I'm comfortable!"

"Rest and recuperation?" Guli Nazha tilted her head slightly, looking thoughtful.

Jiang Heng gave an embarrassed smile, "Not important, let's first take you for a drive!" Saying that, he drove straight toward DaXiao MeiSha, also turning on the car's sound system.

The beautiful melody of 《Evening Wind Blows in My Heart》 played inside the car; Guli Nazha had a moment of blankness, she felt the song was too good to listen to. Only she was curious—such a classic Cantonese song, she had actually never heard it before!

"Teacher, whose song is this?"

"Oh, mine!"

"Ah!"

Guli Nazha opened her mouth into an O shape, wearing an expression of disbelief.

Even if one were to say that 《Battle Through the Heavens》 won the global box office championship, she wouldn't be this surprised.

After all, Director Jiang's effects-heavy blockbusters are universally praised.

Not only do audiences in the mainland, Hong Kong/Taiwan, Japan/Korea, Beimei, Southeast Asia, and Europe love to watch them, but even the guys in Africa and South America love them too!

But to say that Jiang Heng can sing, and sing this well, truly shocked her.

"This is too good to listen to, Teacher, are you going to release an album?"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Where would I get the leisure for that? It's just that during this time returning to Xianggang, this melody inexplicably popped into my mind; idly, I filled in some lyrics and recorded a single just to listen to myself."

"Ah!" Guli Nazha listened, and she admired Jiang Heng's talent even more.

Even if the movies are well made, that's fine; but a single made just as a hobby is also so good it's unbelievable!

"Such a good song, not releasing it is truly a pity!"

Jiang Heng said: "That's right, when we go back let's have someone post it online for free!"

"The teacher is so generous!" Guli Nazha couldn't help but give a thumbs-up in praise; she also knew that given Jiang Heng's wealth, he didn't care about those things at all.

Then he leaned honestly in the passenger seat, humming softly along. Sometimes he gazed at the beautiful scenery outside, sometimes he looked at the car's interior decorations, his face full of envy.

"Don't rush, it won't be long before you can afford it too!"

"I still have to thank the teacher for nurturing me; if it weren't for you choosing me to play the lead role of Xiao Xuner, even if I had gotten into Beijing Film Academy now, I'd just be a freshman happy to land a bit part!"

Jiang Heng laughed and said: "You're being modest with that comment— the most beautiful arts exam candidate still worries about lacking roles to play?" (End of chapter)
