Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
On that night.
The event ca to a successful end.
The International Heavy tal Music Festival concluded with Zhang Ye’s singing.
However, the nearly 10,000-strong audience in the arena were reluctant to leave. They were still in a state of elevated emotions as they continued shouting a na crazily—it was the na of a Chinese person!
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
With “Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty”!
And with “Ashad”!
It gave the attendees of the event goosebumps!
It was great!
It was aweso!
…
On the returning bus.
Zhang Ye had a lingering look on his face.
Tang Dynasty’s song.
Black Panther’s song.
He had brought them out today and it felt great! It was so fun!
Zhang Ye might not be a professional rock ‘n’ roll musician, but he did have a rock ‘n’ roll heart!
On the bus.
Zhang Ye and the Spring Garden mbers got “surrounded” by everyone!
Big Qi gave them a thumbs up and said excitedly, “There’s nothing I can say except that it was aweso! It was so impressive! Did you all see the atmosphere in the arena? Nearly 10,000 people were chanting your na! Nearly 10,000 people were screaming and shouting! This sort of atmosphere isn’t sothing that we usually experience in a normal concert back at ho. Such a level of craziness can only be felt in a heavy tal performance like this! I got so pumped up listening from the audience. Old Chen, Old Zhao, and I scread until we were hoarse!”
Zhang Ye laughed. “Haha.”
Amy exclaid, “I had such a good ti too!”
Xiaodong said happily, “Today was such a nice outlet!”
“Yeah!” Li Xiaoxian said, “Who says that China doesn’t have its own form of heavy tal!”
Xu ilan then laughed. “Today, I finally understood where the nickna of ‘Face-smacking Zhang’ ca from. In the past, I didn’t really pay much attention to it and kept wondering why people were always calling him that.”
Amy said, “Haha, you’re only learning this now, Sister Lan? Teacher Zhang has been walking the path of smacking faces for so many years! He’s even expanding it outside of China!”
Ning Lan laughed and said, “I never used to listen to heavy tal music. Listening to the others perform today only sounded like I was listening to noise. It really pained my ears to hear them sing. But when Teacher Zhang sang his song, I didn’t find it annoying at all. I even found it rather entertaining, so what was with that? That is what our Teacher Little Zhang is capable of! Haha!”
Zhang Ye pretentiously waved it off. “Sister Ning, let’s be more modest, more modest!”
Zhao Wuliu gasped and said, “Director Zhang, I really have to take my hat off to you today. I’m entirely convinced! Just what do you not know? You can even co up with a Chinese style heavy tal song? And it was even created on the spot? Do you know how many bands in China could not make it in the scene even after many years? If we had known, we would have co to you for guidance long ago! Then China’s rock ‘n’ roll scene would’ve been able to proudly say its na on the international stage several years earlier!”
Zhang Ye said, “I was just helping you out back there. I’m not a professional at this.”
Chen Guang belly laughed. “How was that just helping out? You absolutely killed it, you know? With today’s performance, it’s opened a new chapter for China’s heavy tal! Those two songs of yours are the stepping stones to the empire of China’s tal scene! It’s an extrely valuable contribution! It has also set a direction for the Chinese heavy tal bands who are still struggling to find their way in the international tal scene. This is as good as being the founding father of the industry. When future generations play tal, who can avoid being linked to you? In the future, when people ntion the developnt of tal music in China, the first na they will bring up is yours! They would all talk about the 5th International Heavy tal Music Festival! This will benefit all future generations!”
Zhang Ye exclaid, “It’s not that great, it’s not that great.”
When Xiaodong heard this, she rolled her eyes playfully. “Hey, hey, what about us? Why isn’t anyone ntioning us?”
Amy also said unhappily, “Right, right, what about our contributions?”
Everyone hastily started to flatter them as well.
“You guys were great too.”
“Right, your nas have already gone down in history!”
“Haha, Sister Dong’s bass playing was great!”
“Amy’s drumming was also very on point.”
“That’s right, it’s very difficult to imagine that you guys had only refined the details just before getting onstage.”
“The singing was very good too!”
“That ending shout that the three of you did, that was so heavy tal!”
With this, the three ladies of Spring Garden got extrely spoiled by the complints.
Amy puffed out her chest. “From now on, the three of us have also beco rock singers!”
Xiaodong also joked, “That’s right, we’ve switched genres and won’t be carrying on as an idol group!”
Zhang Ye and Li Xiaoxian were speechless.
Everyone was amused.
But today really was an exhilarating day for all of them!
The four of them had really done China proud!
…
Elsewhere.
Sowhere in Seoul.
At Lee Anson’s office studio.
“Oppa! Oppa!”
“What’s the matter?”
“That Zhang Ye is in Seoul!”
“What? What is he doing here?”
“I think it’s for tomorrow’s charity banquet. But just a while ago, he and the Chinese celebrity team mbers attended the International Heavy tal Music Festival. He even went onstage and outdid our famous Korean Storm band, as well as the other foreign bands! The venue’s atmosphere was totally crazy! It was simply unbelievable!”
“How is that possible!”
“It’s true! One of our staff mbers was present at the venue!”
“How would a Chinese guy know how to sing heavy tal!”
