I'm Really a Superstar Chapter 1165: An Olympic Theme Song That Astounds The World!

At Zhang Ye's maternal grandma's house.

His relatives nearly collapsed from laughter.

His first uncle said, "Look!"

His second aunt said, "Big Sis is on TV!"

His third uncle said, "It's Central TV's live coverage of the opening ceremony!"

The interview segment was recorded and went viral on social media. Many of the common folk were amused every time they watched the gif due to the reply, "Because I'm his mother." This caused Zhang Ye's mother to become a meme just an hour before the Olympic opening ceremony was to commence. She enraptured everyone and nearly dampened the serious atmosphere surrounding the Olympics!

They were indeed mother and son!

Each was funnier than the other!

The netizens were laughing so much they couldn't close their mouths. They were loving this!

But this minor episode was not enough to distract from the main event.

An hour later, the Olympic opening ceremony finally began!

The entire world was watching it unfold on the live broadcast!

The entire audience stood up!

Everyone had their hands in the air!

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

As the entire audience counted down with the sunset to welcome the arrival of the night sky, it was lit up by countless fireworks launched into the sky! This was not the Beijing Olympics that Zhang Ye was so familiar with back in his previous world and was an entirely new opening ceremony over here. There were no fireworks that formed the footsteps "walking" in from a distance 1 , but a new ch.o.r.eography that consisted of golden stars exploding open in the night sky before extinguis.h.i.+ng and then reigniting!

The golden stars rose higher and higher!

Every ignited firework exploded with a circ.u.mference larger than the one before it!

The 3D effect was incredible and the visuals were stunning. Just this fireworks show at the start of the opening ceremony amazed the entire world's audience!

The audience at the stadium had an even more intense experience. Just looking up into the sky, they could see dazzling, huge, golden stars exploding one after another over their heads!

Now the music played!

The Olympic theme song's melody floated through the stadium!

A light flickered to life in the middle of the stadium that had just turned dark. The spectators were stunned to discover that there was a large model of the globe that wasn't there before. There were a myriad of colors on it, depicting the oceans, continents, and countries of the world. It looked exceptionally beautiful under the lighting and was even spinning slowly without pause. There were two shadowy figures standing on a stage atop the globe. When the light worked its way over to them, their faces were illuminated for everyone at the stadium, as well as all over the world, to see.

Zhang Ye was standing on the left!

Lillian was on the right!

Piercing screams echoed throughout the stadium!

In the audience, Zhang Ye's parents were staring fixedly at the stage!

Zhang Ye's three sisters jumped up from their seats to wave and cheer!

The hosts on Central TV's live broadcast stopped talking!

All over the world, people who were watching TV also went silent!

At center stage!

Zhang Ye and Lillian stood atop the globe and looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Ye's hand was trembling a little, not because he was nervous, but because he was excited. He had never before been on such a big stage with so many people listening to him sing. All he could see around him were lights, cameras, and tens of thousands of shadowy figures. He could not see their faces, but he knew that the entire world was watching him at this moment. He also knew that many of them were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. However, the more it was this way, the better his state of mind became and the more fighting spirit he had.

He lightly raised his microphone and shook everyone with his Mandarin singing!

"You and me, from one world.

"We are family.

"Travel, dream, a thousand miles.

"Meeting in Beijing."

He was singing in the tenor register!

His range went very high!

The live audience was startled!

The home viewers were also dumbfounded!

They had never heard Zhang Ye sing like this before, they really had not!

Even Li Ke and his program team who were in the wings were stunned by the singing. Even during the rehearsals, they did not hear Zhang Ye sing it so well!

Zhang Ye smiled as he raised his other hand in a welcoming gesture.

"Come together.

"Put your hand in mine.

"You and me, from one world.

"We are family."

The stadium exploded!

Shouts!

Applause!

Screams!

All kinds of sounds were mixed together!

Then, Lillian raised her microphone. When she sang in English, she pushed the atmosphere to its peak again. It gave countless people watching TV gooseb.u.mps!

"You and me, from one world.

"We are family.

"Travel, dream, a thousand miles.

"Meeting in Beijing.

"Come together.

"Put your hand in mine.

"You and me, from one world.

"We are family."

The two of them looked at each other.

Then Lillian sang again.

Simultaneously, Zhang Ye raised his microphone.

"You and me, from one world.

"We are family."

They harmonized!

Lillian had switched to singing in Mandarin!

The foreign audience was stunned!

The stadium audience went crazy!

The two of them smiled as they sang.

"Travel, dream, a thousand miles.

"Meeting in Beijing."

Lillian sang in English, "Come together."

Zhang Ye sang in Mandarin, "Put your hand in mine."

They sang together in English.

"You and me.

"From one world.

"We are family!"

The atmosphere hit a fever pitch!

"Ahhh!"

"This is so awesome!"

"Lillian sang in Mandarin!"

"Zhang Ye actually sang in Englis.h.!.+"

"It's so good I'm crying!"

"They sang so well!"

With this song, they had astounded the entire world!

The British netizens.

"How moving!"

"That Chinese singer is really good!"

"Was the song written by him?"

"What's his name?"

The j.a.panese netizens.

"The lyrics were really well written!"

"It's no wonder Lillian would accept the invitation to take part in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics!"

"This song is absolutely world-cla.s.s!"

"Zhang Ye? Isn't that the Go player?"

The Thai netizens.

"How nice!"

"I never expected there to be such a nice opening theme song!"

"It's really quite nice!"

On Central TV's live broadcast.

The famous commentator, Zhao Zihao, said, "How wonderful. Teacher Zhang Ye and Teacher Lillian's duet has officially commenced the start of the Beijing Olympics. This is the first time on the international Olympic stage that China has been heard. This is the Beijing Olympics. We have arrived!"

Yu Yingyi also exclaimed, "This is so amazing!"

There were only cheers from the Chinese netizens!

Many of the overseas audiences and media were also full of praise!

The song?

The performance?

Their singing skill?

The lyrics?

It was all impeccable!

With this, the athletes and coaches from the sports world who had a feud with Zhang Ye and were grumbling about him singing the Olympic theme song no longer uttered a word! It was at this moment that many people realized why the Organizing Committee had chosen Zhang Ye for the performance. They finally understood why the organizing committee had chosen to use Zhang Ye's song, "You and Me," despite the opposition of those in the sports world!

That was because the opening theme song could only be this!

No other song could top this!

Both Zhang Ye and Lillian had performed the opening theme song brilliantly!
