Finally, Li Xuan finished recording all the songs on the album, and Mike came to Li Xuan's side and gave him a big hug. The recording engineer said to Mike," Mike, I have to say that this student of yours has given me a huge surprise. Not only is he very talented, but I believe that this album will definitely sold well.”
"I think so too," said Mike with a smile.”
That night, at Dream Manor, in order to thank Mike, Wang An, and Dyze for their efforts, Li Xuan specially cooked and treated them to a meal. When Mike and Deus saw the chopsticks from China, Deus immediately said excitedly,"Is it Chinese cuisine today?" Wang An smiled and nodded. Mike was also very excited because he had only eaten Chinese cuisine a few times, and that was more than 20 years ago. He had eaten it when he went to Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, the most recent incident was in 1996.
After everyone was seated, Li Xuan began to serve the dishes one after another. Li Xuan made eight dishes. When Dyze saw the delicious food on the table, he immediately said,"Wow, it's really a work of art. I can't bear to eat it.”
Mike also nodded. He knew that Chinese cuisine was extensive and profound, but he didn't expect that just these few dishes would shock him. After that, the few of them began to eat. Mike picked up his chopsticks and moved them clumsily. He praised,"It's really too exquisite. I didn't expect two wooden chopsticks to require such profound skill.”On the other hand, Dyze was more skilled with chopsticks. It was obvious that he often went to Chinatown in the United States.
Then, the two of them began to eat. After eating a mouthful of Yuxiang Shredded Pork, Dyze unconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he said,"This is definitely much more delicious than the Chinese food in Chinatown.”
Mike took a bite and looked surprised. Then, he looked at Li Xuan. He did not know what his student could do. In Mike's heart, Li Xuan was a little omnipotent.
Just as Mike and Li Xuan were eating, China was in the midst of a discussion about Li Xuan. The top three headlines every day were Li Xuan.
When Mocheng Records announced Li Xuan's signing in China, it was like an atomic bomb had exploded. The entire China cheered and congratulated Li Xuan.
After all, Li Xuan was already at the height of his power in China. At present, the only person in China who could compare to him was Jay Chou. However, now that Li Xuan had debuted in the United States and had even become Michael Jackson's student, Li Xuan's fans in China immediately fell into cheers. Even the major media and television stations were preparing to head to the United States.
At the same time, Jay Chou also publicly wished Li Xuan well on social media, hoping that he could win in the United States and add color to China. Only then did people know that Li Xuan and Jay Chou had such a good relationship. Li Xuan did not even know that a topic had appeared because of this. There was no other way. Jay Chou could only stand up and say that his relationship with Li Xuan was very good. The two of them often contacted each other, and the two of them had known each other for several years, so he asked the fans of both sides not to guess.
This temporarily extinguished the fire of discussion, but Jay Chou also became popular because of Li Xuan. His song downloads and album sales also increased a lot during this period of time.
Then, Mocheng struck while the iron was hot and announced to the world that they would release an album for Li Xuan in the near future. Moreover, four of the songs in the album were composed by Li Xuan himself, and two of the songs were composed by Michael Jackson. It was enough to see the value of this album.
This news undeniably caused another big explosion, and it was global. China was pleasantly surprised by Mike's creation and Li Xuan's creation. After all, Li Xuan had a nickname in China, the Divine Tune Creator.
The foreigners paid more attention to Mike. After all, Mike had not composed a song for nearly eleven years. This time, he actually composed a song for his students! However, they did not know that the song Mike had written was meant for them. The reason why it was spread like this was completely because Mo City had created it so that Li Xuan could become famous first.
The truth was indeed as they had expected. Li Xuan was indeed popular, and he was popular all over the world. What Mocheng Records did not expect was that Li Xuan was actually so popular in China. They thought that Li Xuan was just an unknown youth, but they did not expect Li Xuan to be a celebrity. Moreover, he could be considered a top celebrity in China. It was just that Li Xuan never filmed advertisements or participated in programs. He only appeared online and broadcasted live, so there was no information about Li Xuan in China's market. Only some of his posters or the songs that Li Xuan sang during his live broadcast were made into records and released. Of course, they had given Li Xuan money. Otherwise, they would have been greeted by a lawsuit.
----------------------------
At this time in Beijing, Mike looked at the glorious Forbidden City in front of him and said in admiration,"It's really too shocking. It's too beautiful.”Beside him, Li Xuan smiled and said to him,"Yes, this is the symbol of China and the pride of China.”
After Mike heard Li Xuan's words, he said,"Sun, you're right. This is indeed the pride of China.”
It had been two months since Li Xuan had recorded the song. This time, they had come to China because Li Xuan wanted to record a music video for his English album. Because of Li Xuan's current popularity, especially in China, Mocheng Records had decided to produce two versions of the music video for Li Xuan's English album for the first time. One was an international version, and the other was a Chinese version. The Chinese version of the music video would also be released worldwide, but the focus would be on Asia.
At present, Li Xuan's international version of the MV had already been filmed and was in post-production. The Chinese version had also been nearly completed. Today, they had come to Beijing to film the MV for Li Xuan's songs, Immortals and The Phoenix. Therefore, in order to find a scene that matched the two songs, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall were essential.
At this moment, Mike and Li Xuan arrived at the police station. Looking at the huge police station square in front of them, they sighed and said,"It's too big! It was really a good place to hold a concert.”After Li Xuan heard this, he smiled bitterly. Mike still could not forget the regret of not having a concert in Beijing.
Li Xuan said to Mike,"It's very difficult to hold a concert here. This is not a cultural square, but a political square. You saw the flag raising this morning."”Before dawn, Li Xuan brought Mike to the police station to watch the national flag being raised. At the same time, there was a series of MV production teams. Their goal was to film the flag raising scene. It was used as a shot for the Phoenix MV.
Mike then looked at the military gate and the big portrait of Mao on the city wall. He said,"Mao is a great man. He can be compared to President Ross of the United States!”Li Xuan only smiled when he heard this. In Li Xuan's heart, Mao was much more powerful than Luo Si Fu. After all, he was the leader who led the people of China to stand up and was also the person who established the new China. His contribution to China was self-evident.
At this time, Mike saw the slogans on both sides of Mao Mao's portrait, so he asked Li Xuan,"Then what do the words on both sides of the portrait mean?”
Li Xuan explained to Mike in English,"The one on the left is Long live the People's Republic of China, and the one on the right is Long live the great unity of the people of the world.”
When Mike heard Li Xuan's translation, he was slightly moved. The slogan on the left was easy for Mike to understand. After all, this was China, and he should praise his own country. This was without a doubt, and the slogan on the right was the real reason why Mike was like this.
"Can you really do it?" Mike muttered.”"No matter if we can do it or not, at the very least, we're doing it now.”
Mike immediately smiled when he heard Li Xuan's words and said,"Yes, at least it's being done now. I didn't see wrongly. China isn't like what the American media reported.”In the United States, some media outlets would not report good things about China. They would always report reports that were not good for China or even framed them. The only thing that was true was when there was a typhoon in China, an earthquake in China, or the SARs a few years ago. These became hot topics in the United States.
However, Mike didn't believe that China was such a country. He thought that the reports in the United States were not true. He wanted to see what the real China looked like. Now, it seemed that Mike was right. China was indeed not as the United States reported.
After that, Li Xuan brought Mike to the Bird's Nest that was under construction, which was the future National Stadium. Although the Bird's Nest had not been completely built yet, the general outline was already there.
Mike looked at the Bird's Nest and the workers working hard on it. He said,"Next year, China will definitely become the focus of the world. At that time, I believe that the people of the world will look at China in a new light, just like me today.”
"That's right. Next year will be an opportunity for China to show off to the world. I believe that it will also be the beginning of China's rise.”
For the entire day, the MV production team was filming and did not film Li Xuan. Li Xuan also found it difficult to be idle. He became a tour guide and accompanied Mike to tour the entire Beijing, from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall, then to Shichahai for coffee. Then, he went to Wangfujing to ask Mike to buy gifts for his children. This was the first time Mike had such a feeling.
Back then, Mike had longed to be like an ordinary person, but he knew that it was impossible. Wherever Mike went, there would be a large crowd gathering, and in serious cases, there would be stampedes. So later, Mike's nanny and friends booked a supermarket and let Mike buy things there alone, just like an ordinary person. But now, Mike was more like an ordinary person in Beijing. The main reason was that there would not be a sudden large crowd gathering here, nor would there be traffic jams. Mike was like an ordinary person, buying this and that.
The reason was that although the society in China was very strange to foreigners, it was not strange in Beijing. Moreover, to the Chinese, all foreigners looked the same. It was just like how foreigners would be face-blind when they saw Asian people.
However, Mike's visit to China was still exposed by the media. The next day, it was published in the newspapers. There were photos of Li Xuan and Mike on it, and the report was about why Sun and Mike had come to Beijing.
It was a very bold title, letting people know that Mike had come to China. In fact, if Mike was alone, it would not have caused a very loud fishing boat. At most, people would think that he was Mike's imitator or someone who looked more like him. However, it was different with Li Xuan.
