Chapter Twenty-Nine: My Chinese Heart
After buying what he wanted, the purpose of Ang Lee's trip was completed, and there were many treasures and antiques auctioned later, and Ang Lee did not bid, because he knew that the Lin family would definitely raise the price, although he could also raise the price when the Lin family bought things, but Ang Lee felt that it was unnecessary, and the Lin family was not bad for tens of millions, it was too petty to do so, after all, Ang Lee was a person from a big place, is it okay to be a man?
After the final sale of antiques, Liu Ying said: "The auction has been successfully concluded, raising a total of 1.23 billion Hong Kong dollars, and I would like to thank you for your efforts on behalf of the poor children of Hong Kong. Thank you.
Finally, I would like to invite our Chief Executive of Hong Kong to issue a declaration of thanks.
Zeng Lao slowly walked out of the backstage, with a kind smile on his face and said: Thank you, first of all, thank you for coming, and thank you for your dedication to Xiangjiang. I watched a video at noon today, and at my age, I was very enthusiastic! And some of the words in it seem to me to be very insightful, tomorrow's evening news will be broadcast, and everyone is welcome to watch it then, and I want to introduce the person who said this to you, so he waved at Ang Lee's position and said: Come here, young man, I'll introduce you to a few friends to get to know each other!
Li An knew that this was the old man standing up for himself, and at the same time announced a signal, that is, what this guy said was very right, everyone should learn from him, set him as an example, and call on Xiangjiang people to learn from him, and subtly change the minds of Xiangjiang people.
Under the gaze of the audience, Ang Lee slowly walked to the podium, and after coming to the stage, Zeng Lao said: "Hou Shengzi, how do you feel here after coming to Xiangjiang."
Li An took the microphone and said against his will: Xiangjiang is a very beautiful place, the scenery is beautiful, the people are sincere, I feel the same as my own home.
Zeng Lao smiled and said: Then do you have any views on the relationship between Xiangjiang and the mainland?
Li An said: They are all Chinese, I feel that there is no need to distinguish between Xiangjiang people and mainlanders, are we all descendants of Yanhuang?
Obviously, Zeng Lao was very satisfied with Ang Lee's words, and the smile on his face deepened and said: Since you are a director, have you ever thought about making a movie about the motherland!
Ang Lee continued to talk nonsense: I have thought about it, this is also my original intention to be a director! But with my current level, it is difficult to compress the picture of the motherland Datong into a two-hour movie, and I will continue to work hard for this, although the movie cannot be made yet, but the music can, so I wrote a song for this! A song that can express the ardent expectations in my heart!
Zeng Lao looked at the confident Ang Lee, a director always focused on the songs he wrote, and he didn't know if he could hold it, but he still had to follow Ang Lee's words and say: You can still write songs!
Ang Lee said: The song is called "My Chinese Heart", and I can write the score on the spot and sing it to my compatriots who are doing it, but I need a band.
Zeng Lao listened to the title of the song that Li Ang said, and felt very reliable, and then thought about what Li Ang did today and said that it was not like a person who didn't know the importance of it, so he turned his head to look at Liu Ying and said: A-Ying, I have to trouble you to help find a band, okay?
Liu Ying immediately nodded yes, and then turned around and walked into the backstage.
And Ang Lee asked the staff for a piece of paper, and composed the music on the spot, and Ang Lee's song was composed in less than 10 minutes, and at this time, Liu Ying also led a band over.
Ang Lee gave them the song, and several people looked at it and said they had a problem. Li An nodded at Zeng Lao.
Zeng Lao said: Okay, let's listen to the voices of our compatriots from the mainland!
In a burst of applause, Ang Lee walked to the front of the stage, took the microphone and made an OK gesture to the band, and Ang Lee turned his head.
The opening is an impassioned prelude, and the listeners are inexplicably excited, followed by a burst of light music in Chinese style, which makes people relax. Ang Lee slowly sang along with the music.
Rivers and mountains only linger in my dreams.
The motherland has not been close for many years.
But no matter what, it can't be changed.
My Chinese heart.
Although the dress is worn.
My heart is still Chinese.
My ancestors have long since taken everything from me.
Branded with the Chinese seal.
The Great Wall of the Yangtze River.
Yellow Mountain, Yellow River.
It's a lot of money in my heart.
Anytime, anywhere.
The heart is as close as ever.
Blood left in the heart.
Surging with the voice of China.
Even if you're in a foreign country, you can't change it.
My Chinese heart.
The Great Wall of the Yangtze River.
Yellow Mountain, Yellow River.
It's a lot of money in my heart.
Anytime, anywhere.
The heart is as close as ever.
The blood that remains in the heart,
Surging with the voice of China.
Even if you're in a foreign country, you can't change it.
My Chinese heart.
Finally, with a burst of passionate music, Ang Lee ended the singing.
Ang Lee put down the microphone, and the scene was instantly clear, and it seemed that everyone was immersed in Ang Lee's singing.
With a round of applause, there was a thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.
Listening to Ang Lee's singing, An Mingxin felt that his heart was about to melt.
Liu Ying also looked at Li An with an excited face, and that expression had the meaning that as long as you say a word, I will accompany you to wander the world. Fortunately, although Ang Li likes beautiful women, there is still a bottom line, otherwise the hat of the Xiangjiang Ma family would have been set.
After a few minutes, the applause gradually faded, Zeng Lao took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and walked over slowly.
Walked up to Ang Lee and hugged Ang Lee, and said, young man, singing is so good.
Zeng Lao turned his head and picked up the microphone and sang to the crowd who were doing it: Although I wear a dress, my heart is still a Chinese heart, and my ancestors have already branded everything I have with a Chinese seal. There was a lot to say, but after hearing this song, I suddenly felt that I didn't need to say anything. Let's adjourn!
S Zeng Lao put down the microphone and said to Li An: Will there be anything later?
Li An hurriedly responded: Convenient, this is my honor.
After letting go, he followed Zeng Lao into his car, a Hongqi car, and Zeng Lao was humming the song Ang Lee sang just now!
About 20 minutes or so came to Zeng Lao's residence, a delicate small villa, Li An helped Zeng Lao get out of the car, followed Zeng Lao slowly walked in, and the family did not see Zeng Lao's relatives, all the way to Zeng Lao's study.
There are two rows of bookshelves in the study, which are full of books, and the rest of the walls are full of some brush words, and on a large desk in the middle are the four treasures of the study, as well as the paper used to write brush words.
After entering the house, Zeng Lao said: Just sit down, the house is a little messy.
Li An smiled and found a chair away from Zeng Lao and sat down, Zeng Lao said: You are the son of Li Jianye's kid!
Ang Lee said: Yes, my father is Li Jianye.
Zeng Lao said: I know your father, but there was no you at that time! I was the mayor of the magic capital, and your father would be one of the ten outstanding young people in the magic capital. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and your father is okay!
Li An said: My father is very good, and he also said that Zeng Lao is the person he admires the most, let me take him to say hello to you after I see you in the future!
Zeng Lao laughed when he heard Li An's words, pointed at Li An and said: You, you are really good at talking, your Li family is so blessed, with you, you can at least ensure the prosperity of the Li family for decades.
Then he said: Actually, I originally had a lot to say to you, but after listening to the song you sang, I felt that I didn't have to say anything, and I didn't know how to say it, so I should give you, the son of the old man, a reminiscence!
Li An said: If you have anything to say, just say to me, I have amnesia, and I usually forget what others have said for a while!
Zeng Lao smiled and said: Okay, you don't have to give me an official tone, I really treat you as a relative, I think you are very suitable for politics, how about it, do you want to be in politics, I will be your introduction to the party.
Li An said: Thank you for Elder Zeng's love, I can't be an official with this nature, but as a Chinese, I will also work hard for China's progress!
Zeng Lao said: Movies are a good thing, during the Liberation War, thanks to movies to boost morale, but it is difficult to be good in this industry.
Ang Lee said: People always have to do something, if they retreat because of difficulties, then how can they surpass foreign countries. The harder the stuff, the more challenging.
Zeng Lao said: Well said, what are you doing in Xiangjiang this time?
Ang Lee said: I have an elder birthday, and I heard that there is an auction in Xiangjiang, so I want to take something back as a birthday gift.
Zeng Lao nodded and said: So you bought this ivory golden cicada, you really have a heart. You come to me, I don't have anything to give you, come, I'll write you a birthday message!
