Chapter 74: Like Both (Seeking First Subscription)
Wu Yuchen naturally didn't stay at night. After chatting with Zeng Li for a while, he saw that the time was about right and came back.
To say he had no thoughts about Zeng Li would definitely be a lie, but she was sick, her body was so weak, so he wouldn't have any unnecessary thoughts at such a time.
Just as he arrived home, before he could put down the thermal bucket, his mobile phone rang. As soon as he picked it up, the sonorous and powerful voice of Tu Honggang came from the other side:
"Brother, is there a TV in front of you? Watch the variety channel quickly!"
Seeing that the TV was playing commercials, Wu Yuchen didn't hesitate, picked up the remote control, and switched to CCTV-3.
At this time, CCTV was not yet using the later double-C plus TV logo, but a butterfly-shaped station logo, containing the two letters "TV" in the middle.
At this time, the variety channel 3 was playing a program called *Chinese Music Television*.
"... Next, let's take everyone into the heroic world of chivalry with a magnificent song, *Chinese Zhonghua Wuhun* sung by Tu Honggang."
It started with the sound of horse hooves from far to near, and a scene of a chivalrous man riding a horse galloping appeared on the TV.
However, what attracted Wu Jianping and Zhou Shulan was the song information displayed on the TV.
"... Composer: Wu Yuchen, Lyricist: Wu Yuchen."
At the same time, the audience watching *Chinese Music Television* in front of the TV were also attracted by a burst of clashing metal sounds of Chinese classical instruments.
Of course, what attracted their attention even more was the MV in the TV. This picture clarity and shooting quality completely blew away other MVs seen before by several streets!
Those with rich viewing experience immediately distinguished that these were scenes from movies they had seen before, right?
Then Tu Honggang's heroic singing voice rang out:
"Light fur and long sword, wild horse and crazy song,
Loyal liver and righteous gall strengthen the mountains and rivers.
What a heroic guest coming and going in the wind and clouds,
Daring to sit on equal footing with the emperor.
..."
Watching the heroic and hot-blooded martial arts movie scenes in the TV, with Tu Honggang's high-pitched and domineering singing voice lingering in their ears, many people immediately got goosebumps, their blood surged, and a sense of heroism couldn't help but arise from their chests.
Especially those male audiences, who hadn't read martial arts novels? Hadn't watched martial arts movies? Hadn't had a dream of roaming the world?
Some slapped their thighs and stood up:
"Truly soul-stirring! Happy, happy!"
"This is martial arts, this is the world!"
Some directly picked up beer, took two gulps, and began to recite poetry:
"Full of hot blood to repay a confidant, a thousand cups of strong wine to sacrifice to the sky!"
After the song, many people were still very excited. Some called the program group, some told like-minded friends, and everyone remembered this song and Tu Honggang.
On the phone, Tu Honggang laughed loudly:
"Brother, how is it?"
"Especially great!"
"Let me tell you, the cassette I released in January, *Farewell My Concubine* and *Chinese Zhonghua Wuhun* are the most popular. This time, the program group came to me, so I hurriedly sent the *Chinese Zhonghua Wuhun* MV over.
Once I have enough money here, I will definitely make a decent MV for *Farewell My Concubine*!
If you have any songs suitable for me in the future, I will definitely buy them at a high price!"
Tu Honggang was clearly very happy at this time. His comeback this time, *Farewell My Concubine* was the most popular offline, and this similar *Chinese Zhonghua Wuhun* was not bad either. More importantly, the effect after matching with the MV was doubled compared to just listening to the song. CCTV-3 broadcast it like this, and his commercial performance price would at least double!
Wu Jianping was also stirred in his chest. Mainly, the effect of this MV matched with the song was too good, completely fascinating. Seeing his son finish the phone call, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this also written by you?"
Wu Yuchen explained: "Dad, didn't I help someone make a documentary last semester? That's when I came up with it."
Wu Jianping nodded. To be honest, he was a bit numb. Mainly because his son had changed too much in the past six months, even winning the Berlin Golden Bear for short film. What did writing a song count as?
However, he still praised him: "Your lyrics are really well written."
"Haha, it's still because you taught me well!"
Seeing this, Wu Jianping shook his head with a smile.
For the next two days, Wu Yuchen returned to school for classes normally, but he would still come to see Zeng Li once a day and bring her meals, mainly because her stomach was fragile now and he was afraid that things outside were not clean.
However, when he came over this day, he saw Zeng Li holding the *Bright Sword* novel, her eyes red.
"What's wrong?"
Zeng Li shook her head.
Seeing this, Wu Yuchen directly asked: "Where are you reading?"
"Xiuqin died."
Wu Yuchen suddenly realized. It turned out she had seen the plot where the protagonist's first wife sacrificed herself. Xiuqin's death and Li Yunlong's heartbreak and crying at the grave were a tragic plot point of the whole book. Many people in his previous life couldn't help but shed tears after reading it. No wonder Zeng Li would cry.
"Come, eat something before crying."
Wu Yuchen brought the food to her and then asked:
"What do you think of this novel? You count as the first batch of readers."
"Especially good-looking! I couldn't hold on until midnight last night, so I fell asleep.
It's just that you are too cruel. Sun Desheng died, and Xiuqin also died..."
Listening to Zeng Li's complaints, Wu Yuchen didn't care. As long as he could make the readers feel it was good-looking, it would be fine. This was just like when Jin Yong arranged the dragon knight plot back then, causing readers to tear up newspapers and curse.
"I'm also reluctant, but the plot went here, and the thoughts in my brain urged me to write it like this. And to be honest, the war years back then might have been even more cruel than what I wrote."
Zeng Li nodded. She actually understood that if it weren't written like this, the story would be much flatter. She just couldn't help but complain.
"I just think Li Yunlong is too pitiful. Watching him cry at the grave makes me feel terrible."
"It's okay, I'll make up a better one for him later." Wu Yuchen comforted her casually.
"Ah? Aren't you making Li Yunlong a heartless man!"
"Then do you want Li Yunlong to guard Xiuqin's grave for a lifetime?"
Zeng Li shook her head: "I just saw this, and I can't accept what you said. Don't spoil it for me; it's too annoying."
But after eating two mouthfuls, Zeng Li couldn't help but ask:
"Then will he forget Xiuqin? Which one does he like more?"
Wu Yuchen couldn't help but choke. He found that this woman's way of thinking was really different from a man's. Watching a war novel could also be entangled in love.
"Like both, like both. Our Old Li is not a heartless person!"
"That's about right~" In Zeng Li's mind, Xiuqin dying and being able to leave such a heavy position in Li Yunlong's heart was enough.
Wu Yuchen hurriedly changed the subject: "Are your results out?"
Zeng Li shook her head: "Not yet, but it should be in these two days."
"Alright, call me when the results are out, and I'll help you plan~"
Wu Yuchen definitely still wanted to urge Zeng Li to go to the Central Academy of Drama. If she came to the Beijing Film Academy, wouldn't she bump into Jiang Qinqin? ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
