Godfather of the Entertainment Industry

Entertainment Industry Godfather

A keyboardist who had spent half his life in ruin swallowed his last breath on a hospital bed. From accompanying performances in dance halls at sixteen to drifting around Sanlitun at thirty-two, he had tasted every bitterness and warmth of the human world.

Opening his eyes, he had returned to Northeast China in 2002. In a young body beat a heart that had weathered countless hardships, along with those classic melodies that should have belonged to the future.

With no system cheat and no special advantage, only half a lifetime of musical talent and life experience.

In this life, he would turn every regret into legend:

His debut song, 《Blue Lotus》, shot straight to the top of the major music charts;

"Black Fox Band" sparked a new wave of Chinese rock;

He wrote, directed, and starred in 《Farewell My Concubine》, sweeping countless awards;

《Bressanone》 and 《500 Miles》 conquered the Western market;

He founded a foundation to support countless students from poor families;

He accurately sniped Wall Street during the 2008 financial crisis and amassed immense wealth;

He wrote 《Crossing the Ocean to See You》 for love and it became a century love song. In this life, his eight red-haired women, gentle and intellectual or passionate and fiery, all wrote the most moving chords for him.

From a shabby piano shop in a small Northeast city to the red carpet of the Grammy Awards;

From a down-and-out keyboardist singing in nightclubs to a gold-medal producer who brought forth countless superstars.

"In this life, I want the world to remember my name."
