Chapter 65: Vast Sky and Ocean!

  Jumping off the stage, Ai Weier smiled and said: "Hey, great director! If you want to move me to star in your movie, it depends on how well you perform now! Besides, Te Er is waiting for you, won't you swallow your anger?"

  Zhou Shaoming was taken aback and lost his smile: "Your sense of justice is really strong! What, are you not afraid that I won't be able to do it, and then let you go on stage to perform washing dishes?"

  "Hey, come on! I believe you can do it! But don't sing an English song, hmm, sing a Chinese one instead. That way they won't understand and might just let the parts that aren't sung well slide, haha!!"

  "So I sing and you'll agree to star in my movie?" Zhou Shaoming had long been extremely dissatisfied with Tel, but his face gradually regained its composure as he asked calmly.

  "I can say if you sing well, I'll consider it!" Aimee said with a mischievous grin.

  "Alright, I'll give it a try!" Zhou Shaoming took a big gulp of beer to moisten his throat and strode up onto the stage.

  "Hey buddy, what's the song?" DJ asked, shaking his head and swaying.

  "A Chinese song, I don't need accompaniment, let's sing it a cappella!" Zhou Shaoming responded loudly without showing any fear.

  All the music sounds disappeared, countless eyes focused on Zhou Shaoming's face on stage, and Zhou Shaoming just smiled slightly, facing the audience below, especially Ai Weier, saying: "I will now sing a Chinese rock song for everyone, called 'Boundless Oceans and Skies', this song is sung by China's famous rock band 'Beyond'. I take this opportunity to dedicate this song to each of you present here, to Ai Weier, hoping that in the future path of life, you will move forward for your dreams, boundless oceans and skies, may everything go smoothly!"

  The Canadians also loved to hear good things, seeing Zhou Shaoming's sincerity, they hurriedly applauded, and Ai Weier was even more excited, her small face flushed red as she frantically clapped.

  Only Te Er was pale, he didn't think Zhou Shao Ming would actually dare to go on stage and sing a rock song, and with just a few words, the people in the bar erupted into applause, and his heart involuntarily rose with some sense of crisis.

  "No big deal, that guy is just a dead duck quacking loudly, he can't possibly sing rock well!" Tell thought to himself as he stared fiercely at Zhou Shaoming on the stage.

  Lowering his head, brewing some emotions, Zhou Shaoming very much like a superstar placed the microphone to his mouth and softly sang out the first sentence.

  "Today I watch the snow fluttering in the cold night, with a chilled heart drifting to distant places!"

  This sentence was sung in Chinese, although everyone couldn't understand it, but many people were moved by Zhou Shaoming's still bright and beautiful voice, and they all showed a look of surprise, staring at Zhou Shaoming who was singing on the stage.

  Music has no borders, good music can move people's hearts wherever it goes. And the most representative Chinese rock band Beyond's most influential song shocked all the Canadians present in an instant.

  Ai Weier was stunned, originally she didn't have confidence in her heart, so she agreed with Te Er that if she lost, she would replace Zhou Shaoming on stage to perform washing dishes. But she really didn't expect him to sing so well, completely different from European and American rock, but also directly piercing the heart.

  She stared blankly at Zhou Shaoming's passionate performance on stage, lost in thought for a moment, before suddenly clenching her small fist in extreme excitement.

  But Zhou Shaoming wholeheartedly devoted himself to this song, in the past at KTV, although he treated this song as a reserved item, but always couldn't sing out that kind of unbridled style, full of pursuit for ideals, dreams, and die without regret feeling.

  But now it's different, this time is different!

  "How many times, facing cold eyes and ridicule, never giving up on the ideals in my heart!"

  Zhou Shaoming went through countless difficulties to bring "Saw" to the big screen. His pursuit of ideals and dreams is no longer a compulsory task for directors, but a truly voluntary and deeply ingrained passion that permeates every cell with the blood of film.

  So, Zhou Shaoming, who was deeply moved, performed the a cappella song with more feeling than ever before, and the rich infectiousness in the song made even the Canadians who didn't understand the lyrics reveal expressions of being deeply moved.

  "Still be myself, forever sing my song, travel thousands of miles."

  The singing voice changed from gentle and firm to high-pitched and stirring, as if it ignited everyone's passion in an instant. Although there was no accompaniment, no crazy cheers or screams, this song still burst out with incredible power, which was deeply hidden, yet bursting forth with a strong cry from the depths of the soul, just like the characteristic of us Chinese people, not inferior to any loud and boisterous European and American music, equally moving and touching!

  "Abandon ideals, anyone can do it, who would be afraid that one day only you and I will be left!"

  The loud cry of the soul turned into a firm affirmation, and that lingering tail sound revolved around the beam for three days, with no end to the residual sound.

  Zhou Shaoming ended his singing, stretched out his hands, and slightly raised his head. The thunderous applause and enthusiastic whistling from the audience below were deafening.

  "What a week! Smith Week! You sang so great! Cool!" Amy exclaimed, clapping her hands excitedly and shouting loudly.

  But Tel, who didn't have a thick enough face, had already slipped away quietly while everyone was screaming and applauding, without even taking out his bet.

  "That's great, today is so exciting! Na Tel got what he deserved, I'm dead! This should cure his condescending attitude! Looks like my sixth sense was right on the money, you really can sing. Elated, Aimeier chirped like a little bird as she pulled Zhou Shaoming along, a smug smile spreading across her face: 'Next time, sing a few more songs for me, okay?'"

  "As long as you agree to star in my movie, singing a few songs is no problem!" Zhou Shaoming also smiled, his heart full of hope that Ai Weier would immediately agree to star in "The Spring of the Cowherd Class".

  "Honestly, I consider you a friend! But my goal now is only one thing! That is to become the most popular female singer, at least, at least win a Grammy Award! If you can help me achieve that, then I'll agree to it!" Aimeier's delicate eyes showed some expectation, but soon she sighed and said: "Maybe my request is too high, forget it, let's wait until I think of acting in movies someday."

  "The Grammy Awards are not cabbage in the market! You can buy them if you want!" Zhou Shaoming touched his head, but asked the director system in his mind.

  "Ding, host, what would you like to exchange?"

  "How many points are needed to redeem a song that can definitely win a Grammy Award?"

  "Requires 1000 points, you currently have 915 points, Master."

  "Still, it's not enough?" Zhou Shaoming was at a loss. He had completed the chainsaw task and done several side tasks to barely get this many points, but now he still lacked 85 points. How could he exchange them?

  "After completing the side quest of inviting Aimee to star in a movie, you have just enough points to buy a song that can win a Grammy."

  No way, I can't use up all my photons!

  After the last painful lesson, Zhou Shaoming had already decided not to use his last resort of points at any unnecessary critical moment, and he must keep a lifesaving trump card for himself.

  Ever since then, Zhou Shaoming had inquired about the use of points in detail. Points not only brought him countless high-grossing movies but also exchanged for various abilities. Moreover, as long as Zhou Shaoming was willing, he could exchange points for abilities and attach them to any ordinary person.

  The only drawback is that the ability obtained through exchange has a time limit and will increase the points consumed with the number of uses.

  "It's snowing! Wow!" Snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, fluttering and swirling, while Ai Weier ignored Zhou Shaoming who was staring blankly, stretched out her hand to welcome it, and happily danced in the snow.
