Chapter 1371: The encore finale: ‘Ashamed’!

Translator: Legge  Editor: Legge

The performance ended.

The audience was screaming!

“That was awesome!”

“Oh my God!”

“This is what heavy fucking metal should sound like!”

“I feel all of the blood in my body pumping!”

“This is our very own style of heavy metal!”

“What a great Teacher Zhang!”

“What a great ‘Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty’!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

Many of the Chinese international students were chanting Zhang Ye’s name!

Many of the foreigners also started chanting. Things were going out of control in the arena!

Many of the participating bands were also dumbfounded from listening. Several white band members looked at one another in shock. The song that was just performed had opened their eyes. This heavy metal was clearly quite different from their styles, with many of its own elements added in. In fact, these elements were what amazed them; it was detailed and added in a cultural style. After they finished listening to the performance, it felt like they had benefited from the experience as well. This was very novel and quite high level. They did not know if it was a false impression, but they actually felt that this Chinese guy’s heavy metal music had “surpassed” theirs by a great deal! It was astonishing! This song did not even seem like it belonged to this era of heavy metal!

Several of the Korean bands looked disgusted. How could this be?! They were just mocking the fact that China did not have its own brand of heavy metal, but their faces were smacked swollen by Zhang Ye? Zhang Ye? So this was the Chinese Heavenly King who had beaten up one of their Korean stars, Lee Anson? Where on earth did this guy pop out of!

…

Zhang Ye leaped off the stage.

The Spring Garden members followed close behind.

The following performers, a Japanese band, went onstage next.

The music festival continued.

…

When they got backstage, the members of Spring Garden burst into excitement!

Xiaodong exclaimed, “That was so kickass! It was so fun!”

Li Xiaoxian said excitedly, “This, this song is awesome!”

Amy grabbed Zhang Ye by the shoulder. “Teacher Zhang! My brother! My dear brother! That was so impressive of you! This song is godly! It’s so fucking godly!”

Xiaodong said, “I think I’ve fallen in love with heavy metal!”

Amy let out a guffaw. “We’ve really made an impression this time! We’ve earned glory for the Chinese rock ‘n’ roll scene! This is the first time that the Chinese rock ‘n’ roll scene has shouted its own voice on an international heavy metal music stage! It’s so awesome! Teacher Zhang, are we going to be popular?”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, “Who knows? As long as we enjoyed ourselves, that’s enough.”

Li Xiaoxian said, “We’ll definitely be popular. Just look at the audience’s response. All of them went crazy!”

Xiaodong marveled, “Yeah, there were several thousand people who raised their right hands. That sight was so stunning! Even the foreigners are shocked by our performance!”

Currently, several other bands were also backstage with them.

A Finnish band member looked at them and politely smiled.

A Dutch band member gave them a thumbs up.

Zhang Ye and the others smiled back at them.

Taking a bottle of water and drinking, Zhang Ye then said, “Get some rest. That was really tiring.”

Amy said excitedly, “What was so tiring about that? I had such a great time.”

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. “You might not be tired, but I am. I’m hoarse!”

He did not have a voice trained for heavy metal and had to force it for today’s performance. The difficulty of this song was extremely high and not just anyone could sing it. Zhang Ye had to expend a lot of energy just to be able to perform it.

One song.

Two songs.

Three songs.

The final performance ended.

The setlist for the International Heavy Metal Music Festival was completed!

Zhang Ye smiled. “Let’s go!”

The members of Spring Garden were also getting ready to leave.

However, the organizers came over and informed everyone that in accordance to the past music festivals, when all of the bands finished performing, there would be an encore finale. The band with the most cheers would get the opportunity to perform the final song of the night, just as how it had been done every year.

Zhang Ye shrugged it off since he didn’t feel like they would be the ones to get the chance.

But when they heard the shouting coming from inside the arena, he and the Spring Garden members were stunned!

The screams were deafening!

The crowd was shouting their names one by one!

“Storm!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“WI99!”

“SS Band!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

At the beginning, they were shouting for all the different bands. The cheers for the more popular bands were also very loud. But towards the end, the minority group of just over a hundred Chinese international students were shouting so loudly that they covered up the screams of everyone else. Their shouting became louder and louder, more and more in unison. In the end, even a lot of the foreigners shouted along with them!

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

Cheers rang out all over the arena!

Zhang Ye pointed at himself. “Are they shouting for us?”

Amy said, “Yes, it’s us! It’s us!”

Xiaodong said, “My God, they’re really calling for us?”

Li Xiaoxian said anxiously, “So are we going on or what?”

Zhang Ye laughed. “Since everyone is showing so much support for us, let’s do one more song!”

Xiaodong said, “You have another Chinese metal song?”

Amy could not believe it either. “There’s another?”

Zhang Ye smiled but did not say anything.

Another?

Get rid of the question mark and you have your answer!

In the VIP seating.

Chen Guang was stunned!

Zhao Wuliu was so excited that he nearly cried!

Big Qi said startled, “The foreigners are shouting for Zhang Ye?”

Xu Meilan gasped and said, “They’re calling for him to return onstage for the encore. Teacher Zhang’s song won over the audience!”

Chen Guang said in a surprised and nervous manner, “B-But does he know any other songs?”

Zhao Wuliu shook off his surprise. “Uh, yeah, where’s he gonna find another song?”

Jiang Hanwei looked at the empty stage. “They still haven’t come back onto the stage?”

Xu Meilan said worriedly, “Do they really have no more songs to perform?”

“Zhang Ye!”

“Zhang Ye!”

They still weren’t coming out?

As a result, the audience in the arena roared even louder!

In Seoul, in the arena of an international music festival, over 10,000 people were shouting a Chinese person’s name in unison. What kind of a visual was this? What kind of an honor was this?

Many of the foreign bands were dumbfounded!

The faces of the Korean band members looked even darker!

They were playing in their own country tonight!

This was their home turf!

But everyone was actually cheering for a Chinese band to play the encore?

How could something like this even happen!

Suddenly, the screams exploded!

“Ah!”

“They’re here!”

“Zhang Ye!”

“It’s Zhang Ye!”

“Spring Garden!”

“One more song!”

“One more song!”

“One more song!”

Onstage.

Zhang Ye led the group out and leaped onto the stage with a flourish!

One more?

Alright then!

I can even sing ten more songs if you want!

Then the guitar, bass, and drums played together!

When Zhang Ye opened his mouth, his voice 1 explosively filled the entire venue again!

“Yo ohhhh, ohhhhhhh!

“Yo ohhhh, ohhhhhhh!”

It was crazy in the audience!

Everyone was rocking out!

Zhang Ye sang loudly.

“In the middle of the crowd, there stands you and me!

“Meeting and getting to know each other!

“In the middle of the crowd, there stands you and me!

“Pretending to wear honest smiles!

“There’s no need to speak, you know exactly!

“What it is that you and me both want to do!

“There’s no need to care so much or feel sorry!

“Someday, I’m sure you will understand me!”

Chen Guang no longer knew what to say!

Zhao Wuliu got so excited that he couldn’t control himself!

Ning Lan cheered!

Big Qi howled!

There was another!

There really was another song!

Well done!

Teacher Zhang, well done!

Zhang Ye sang loudly, “Not gonna believe!”

Xiaodong got into the flow of the song. “Believe whatever the reasons are!”

Zhang Ye and Amy shouted together, “People have become so indiffere-e-e-e-ent!”

Zhang Ye sang, “Not gonna remember!”

Li Xiaoxian sang spiritedly, “Remember the past!”

Zhang Ye, Xiaodong, Li Xiaoxian, and Amy sang, “I’m no longer the person I wa-a-a-a-as!”

The crowd sang so hard they went hoarse. They were waving their arms like crazy!

Some people even started crying listening to the song!

All of a sudden.

The guitar played quieter.

The drumbeat disappeared.

The sound of the bass also died out.

One second.

Two seconds.

Zhang Ye clutched the chest of his Chinese jacket and closed his eyes.

“I’ve felt lonely before.

“And I’ve been shunned too.”

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and sang out loudly with a determined but uncaring look, “But I’ve never felt ashamed to show my fa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ace!”

The arena blew up!

Nobody could control their emotions anymore!

Screams!

Howls!

Craziness!

No one was spared!

This final verse speared the hearts of each and every member of the Chinese celebrity team!

They had been lonely.

They had been snubbed.

But they had never been ashamed!

Zhang Ye!

Just what kind of a person was he?
