“Actually, today, my son jesse is also in the audience.”

Within three seconds after Henry Carter said this, the fans at the scene responded enthusiastically. She smiled and said, “Thank you. I believe many people already know that jesse has another name, which is Samuel Parker.”

At this moment, the director also turned the camera to Samuel Parker. His upper body appeared on the big screen, and he happened to glance up. When he tilted his face, his thick eyelashes cast down, making it look as if his eyes were half-closed, casually stunning the audience.

The fans screamed, half because he was the goddess’s son, and half because Samuel Parker’s face just made people want to scream. He was dressed in everyday clothes, with no embellishments, but his features were already pleasing enough to the eye.

Henry Carter beamed and said, “The next song is an old one, which happened to be released the year jesse was born, so I’d like to invite him up to perform with me. I hope everyone can give him applause, just as you support me.”

This was entirely a spontaneous idea from Henry Carter. The conversation with Samuel Parker in the lounge had made her so happy she felt like floating—her son was finally no longer resisting her help.

She really couldn’t hold back and wanted to recommend her son to everyone right away.

Henry Carter looked at her son expectantly.

It wasn’t that he had suddenly changed his mind and didn’t want to accept Henry Carter’s help anymore, but… how could he possibly sing Henry Carter’s songs!

However, the applause had already started, and a staff member brought over another microphone. William Thompson also patted Samuel Parker on the shoulder beside him.

No one had thought about this issue—how could Samuel Parker not know how to sing his mother’s classic songs?

Samuel Parker had encountered many accidents in his career, but this was truly a first. He slowly calmed down, walking toward the stage while thinking about how to break this awkward situation.

His gaze swept around and landed on the live band. Tonight, there were not only Western instruments but also traditional ones, such as the pipa, sanxian, erhu, and so on.

Samuel Parker could play the sanxian. Henry Carter had only said “perform together” just now, not necessarily a duet. He wondered if he could handle it by playing a piece on the sanxian.

So he needed to cut off Henry Carter’s lead and take control of the pace on stage. This was also Samuel Parker’s specialty. He hadn’t even reached the stage yet, but he had already raised the microphone, about to speak—

The teleprompter displayed the title and first few lines of the next song: “Why the West Chamber.”

At the same time, Henry Carter said, “Are there any young people here who can sing this song? It’s an old song with a traditional Chinese theme.”

In that instant, Samuel Parker changed his mind!

From the title and lyrics, it was clear that this was adapted from an ancient Chinese novel of the same name. “Why the West Chamber,” also known as “Plum Blossom Dream,” was originally a tanci novel, and later appeared in various forms of folk art. Now, it had been adapted into a pop song. 【http://www.repanso.com】Cloud drive Baidu Cloud resource search, great for finding novels and movies.

Samuel Parker couldn’t sing Henry Carter’s version of “Why the West Chamber,” but a crosstalk performer’s mind is like a general store—he has to learn and know a bit of everything.

Let’s put it this way: the tanci, drum song, Beijing opera, Bian opera… he could imitate and sing every version of “Why the West Chamber”!

……

While thinking, Samuel Parker had already reached Henry Carter. Henry Carter took his hand and smiled at him.

Samuel Parker also smiled. On the surface, no one could tell that he actually didn’t know how to sing the song they were about to perform.

As for the sea of audience members below, he didn’t care at all, not the least bit nervous. Whether it was a few people or several thousand, he had seen all kinds of crowds.

When the prelude started, Samuel Parker immediately recognized it. There was a hint of drum song in it, which made him even more confident.

Drum song is a general term for this kind of folk art, with many genres, including Jingyun drum, Plum Blossom drum, Lantern drum, Henan Zhuizi, Shandong Qinshu, and so on.

Henry Carter had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was very relaxed on stage. She said, “Stand a little closer, don’t hide. Now everyone knows we’re mother and son.”

A crosstalk performer would never let a line fall flat, especially on stage. Samuel Parker reacted quickly, replying almost without thinking, “If we stand too close, I’m afraid we’ll both shatter (cei).”

It took the audience two seconds to react, then laughter erupted. Samuel Parker’s words were clearly a reference to the media jokingly calling them a pair of “vases”—if two vases are too close, you have to be careful not to break them.

Even Henry Carter hadn’t expected Samuel Parker to pick up the line and even make a joke, but there was no time to think more—she had to start singing: “Through lifetimes I’ve cultivated the plum blossom form, toasting the breeze with ten thousand cups. Life and death I take lightly, but wine I take deeply, as we journey through the world together…”

As soon as she started singing, it was all in the style of pop music, with only the accompaniment and lyrics drawing from folk art. That wasn’t surprising.

The fans in the audience actually didn’t care what others said about Samuel Parker. They were Henry Carter’s fans. Even if Samuel Parker didn’t sing well, it didn’t matter—this song was about Henry Carter and jesse singing together.
