Knock, knock.
Xu Lin went over to knock on the door.
"Pei, I'm here."
Soon after, he heard footsteps in slippers approaching.
With a creak, the door opened.
He saw Pei Danqing's hand reach out from inside, holding a charger, but he didn't see her face.
"Thanks."
Xu Lin took the charger.
He left his charger at the hotel, so during the day he had to use soone else's charger.
"Yeah."
Pei Danqing responded.
Behind the door, her cheeks were slightly red because Xu Lin's hand had brushed against hers when he took the charger.
She didn't know if he did it on purpose.
But Pei Danqing thought it over and felt it was probably nothing, just an unintentional touch while taking sothing.
And that was indeed the case.
If Xu Lin intended to take advantage of this to touch her hand, he would really be just a passerby on the street, it's not like he hadn't seen a woman before.
Just a simple touch of the hand, Xu Lin wouldn't feel anything; those girls familiar with him know, when Xu Lin kisses, unless they're outside, with other people around, otherwise, at ho, while kissing, you'll find that both of his hands won't stay still.
In other words, he's not interested in making those small moves.
After taking the charger, Xu Lin went back to his room.
Nothing more happened that night.
Soon it was the next day.
The 11th.
Mid-May was approaching.
Today, fortunately, Xu Lin wasn't wearing a suit, just cargo pants and a short sleeve shirt, a very casual look.
Director Pei was dressed similarly today, quite casual too.
Walking behind Xu Lin, Director Pei felt that without the suit, Xu Lin lacked that unique aura but gained a youthful vibe.
This youthful vibe was quite special, like a rising morning sun, full of energy.
That's when Director Pei rembered, Xu Lin seed to be only eighteen years old.
"Xu Lin, are you eighteen?"
Pei Danqing asked.
"Nineteen next month," Xu Lin replied.
"Oh, that's really young then!"
Pei Danqing envied this age because, at her age back then, she was carefree.
But as she grew older, she had to face many more things, no longer able to be carefree.
At this mont, Pei Danqing felt quite nostalgic, realizing that those were ordinary tis.
Soon, they arrived at the CCTV Building.
Just like yesterday.
Today they arrived early; Bastard Wu Zongting wasn't there yet.
It was only half an hour later that Wu Zongting ca limping in with a cane.
Today, there was also a piece of music for the ending credits.
As the saying goes, a strong start needs a strong finish, and clearly, Xu Lin wouldn't allow otherwise; a fierce start requires an equally fierce finish, everything should have a beginning and an end.
So, how should he handle the ending music?
Xu Lin started flipping through poetry, trying to find inspiration.
From Tang poems to Song lyrics.
Tang poems? The opening the used it, so for the ending, it's unnecessary.
Li Bai's line "Immortals, like hemp" already symbolizes a corner of Tang poetry.
During that era, the country was very strong, with the Han and Tang Dynasties being acknowledged as the most powerful in Huaxia history.
Li Bai was an important representative of the Golden Tang.
"The Emperor called but I didn't board the boat, I call myself the Immortal of Wine."
Such grace is only possible in a grand era, and in soone naturally noble and unrestrained.
Using Li Bai's poetry for the opening is more than appropriate, symbolizing a brilliant and powerful nation.
Overall, although Huaxia had fallen many tis, it was terrifyingly strong on the whole.
Thus, the opening music is grand and majestic.
Song lyrics?
Song lyrics generally have a small-minded feel, with very few being grand and majestic, especially from the late Northern Song Dynasty onward.
There were not many grand lyricists in the Song Dynasty, with people like Xin Qiji and Lu You being quite rare.
Plus, neither the Northern nor Southern Song Dynasties could be grand, being an aggrieved era. How could it be grand? Especially in the later period, like an old man with his spine removed, if Lu Xiufu hadn't sacrificed himself with the young Emperor, the Song Dynasty could have fallen further in class.
Such a wealthy dynasty, yet so aggrieved, was rare throughout history.
In the feudal era, imperial power was everything, and a lousy Emperor was a disaster for a country.
Otherwise, why would Yue Fei utter: "The sha of Jingkang, still not avenged?"
That kind of grievance is hard to express.
The Song Dynasty was the second most aggrieved era after the Qing Dynasty, with the two dynasties remarkably alike, stinking alike even.
So, later Song lyrics generally had a small-minded feel, unable to match the transcendent grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Golden Tang, nations from all over ca to pay tribute; it was more extravagant than pilgrimages to Jerusalem. After all, does Jerusalem have Jesus or Allah? No one knows, but in the Golden Tang's Chang'an, there really is the God of Mankind! At this ti, not just the elite, even the ordinary people were very proud; they had no fawning over foreign countries, or desire to admire foreign things. Foreigners ca, regardless of black skin or white skin, and had to address us as Tang citizens. This pride was unparalleled.
For the ending the, Xu Lin ruled out Song lyrics, unable to stand to look at this dynasty, finding it aggrieved, with many things that puzzled him.
A phrase like "The northern scenery, a thousand miles frozen, ten thousand miles in snow" could stir things up in the Song Dynasty because those who had seen such scenes might have only been the last two emperors of the Northern Song.
"The northern scenery, a thousand miles frozen, ten thousand miles in snow..."
Xu Lin murmured to himself.
