Chapter 1177: A Good Opportunity to Show Your Face

After indulging for a night, Li Xiaomao consciously began to control her food intake again, and she just drooled at the fatty meat, firmly refusing to reach her chopsticks over there.

"Not bad, Xiao Mao, are you already so conscious now?" Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but praise. "In the past, you would have reached your chopsticks over to dip in some oil, but now you don't even touch it."

"Because I see the dawn of slimness." Li Xiaomao lifted the fat on her belly.

Although her belly still looked like a swimming ring, one had to know that a month ago, she was more exaggerated than a pregnant woman carrying triplets.

And this huge contrast is the reason why Li Xiaomao can be so firm.

What is sacrificing a little appetite? Eating coarse grains and vegetables isn't like not being full!

And the most critical point is that as her weight drops, her food intake per meal is also rapidly decreasing.

In the past, the rice she ate per meal was measured in pounds, but now it has slowly returned to the level of a normal girl.

Now Li Xiaomao is looking forward to every day, looking forward to what she will look like when she really reaches 120 pounds.

Therefore, she can certainly manage not to touch the fatty meat on the dining table that would ruin her cultivation.

After lunch, Miss Luo Quan originally wanted to live stream.

However, she received a message in her inbox, and the content was considered good news.

The Bay Area Gala invited her to perform—to be precise, to sing a song. At that time, stars from both sides of the strait and three places would participate. Although it couldn't compare to the Weibo Night in terms of traffic, the importance of the two was definitely not on the same level.

Those who can participate in the gala either have top-tier traffic or have a well-known reputation for strength.

Young stars rarely get such an extremely formal opportunity to show their faces. Throughout the year, basically only the Spring Festival Gala and the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala can be compared with it, and the gold content is incomparable to ordinary activities.

So, as soon as the list of stars selected for the Greater Bay Area Gala was announced today, the fans of those selected stars began to brag.

Old-school stars, of course, don't care about this; their seniority is there, and they will definitely be thought of when there are activities.

But for new-generation artists, these are all actual achievements, which can be made into tables and used as credit books for publicity.

So from noon, the trending searches were all related news.

However, Miss Luo Quan had been busy in the kitchen, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that she was free, she saw the invitation email.

Miss Luo Quan had been on too many such important galas, and generally, as long as she wasn't particularly busy, she was very willing to go up and perform.

This time was no exception, but before agreeing, she wanted to bargain with the program team.

"The theme of this program is nostalgia and welcoming the new, allowing young people from both sides of the strait and three places to see the new atmosphere of newcomers in the entertainment industry. Therefore, I think it is very necessary to let more newcomers go on stage. I have a program currently airing, B-station Song Friends Meeting, with a network-wide heat of over 10 billion, which can be said to be a matter of national attention. There are many powerful contestants in the program. Can you add three spots to let them also go on stage to perform?"

Miss Luo Quan sent this text over, and only three minutes later, a reply came:

"In principle, it is possible. The program team hopes that you, as the representative of mainland stars, will sing a Cantonese song. If you want to add more, it must be a Chinese song. In addition, it is best to sing with you. Also, three people are too many. It is better to add one, after all, there are not only you who have similar needs."

Huaxia is a society of human feelings. When you worship the dock at a big boss, this big boss will naturally think of you when encountering benefits.

The Greater Bay Area Gala is a good place to walk human feelings. Originally, many artists who were not qualified also got the opportunity to go on stage under the promotion of the big boss.

A lucky person in the B-station Song Friends Meeting is like this.

"The spots are limited." Miss Luo Quan sighed regretfully.

Originally, according to her idea, she wanted to let the three best performers go up, using this way to directly raise their status.

Unfortunately, this gala seems to be a sweet pastry, and many people are staring at it. Even with her status and status, she can only strive for one spot.

One is one, better than none.

Miss Luo Quan quickly agreed, but she couldn't provide the name of the artist who got the spot for the time being.

Three choose one, whether she chooses or randomly chooses, it is actually very unfair.

It's better to rely on ability. Whoever wins the championship in the end will go on the show, directly two big traffic gift packages, helping this champion soar into the sky.

Leaving aside things that cannot be determined, Miss Luo Quan's own spot has been decided.

This time she wants to sing a Cantonese song, and many classics of Beyond appeared in Miss Luo Quan's mind.

But she felt it was not very suitable for her, and finally chose a song that might not be particularly old for fans—"Thousand Thousand Songs."

Its Japanese version, "Sunset Song," was jokingly called a work of the last century by Japanese fans when it was released, filled with a strong nostalgic style.

And after being released in Cantonese, it was naturally called a Xiangjiang-style love song of the last century by domestic fans.

Actually, it is also normal. After all, a considerable part of the popular music in Xiangjiang in the last century was Sinicized, and many big hit songs also used Japanese music.

Therefore, Japanese-style love songs of the last century largely overlapped with Xiangjiang love songs, and there was no big difference.

Of course, after Miss Luo Quan released "Thousand Thousand Songs," relying on the extremely beautiful melody, it became the best Cantonese song of that year, and even set off a retro craze.

Although it was loud thunder and small rain, this song was still very popular in the Greater Bay Area. It could be heard in most car audio shops and car music, and the mass base was definitely no worse than those classic old songs.

Of course, the most popular Cantonese song in recent years is "Yuezhou Ten-Year Love Story."

Perhaps the melody and lyrics are not as gorgeous as "Thousand Thousand Songs," but the lyrics are grounded enough to make ordinary people feel resonance, appearing more real, so it is deeply loved by the public.

As for "Thousand Thousand Songs," if you are serious, it can only be said to be the love of the petty bourgeoisie.

How can ordinary people's love have so many life-and-death separations and love-hate entanglements?

The end of ordinary people's love is generally more realistic, such as not being able to afford a house, parents' pension problems, cheating, bride price, etc.

As for "A Thousand Songs," if one really wants to be pedantic, it can only be called the love of the petty bourgeoisie.

What is relatively regrettable is that this gala does not really need this kind of song that is too civilian.

Otherwise, Miss Luo Quan would definitely suggest bringing Gao Liang to the show. After all, now the two of them are already iron fans of the Huaxia middle-aged and elderly group in terms of music. If you want to let your son and grandson play some songs, it is Phoenix Legend.

This is the name Miss Luo Quan took for her and her younger brother's combination. Fans feel it is too earthy, but the older generation feels it is quite foreign.

Especially the two singers in this combination look more foreign, with high noses and white skin. Although their Mandarin is so good, why don't they look like Huaxia people?

Of course, the elderly generally don't worry too much. After all, their equipment basically can't see what the singer looks like.

Elderly phones and square dance speakers don't have the function of displaying pictures, but as long as they hear the song, they can immediately dance gracefully.

The good news is that because Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang are quite popular among young people.

So when their songs are sung, as long as the time period is not particularly outrageous, fans can still tolerate it.

In this way, the irreconcilable contradiction between square dance and young people seems to have been perfectly solved.

Unfortunately, no one at the gala wants square dance. That thing is more suitable for appearing on the Spring Festival Gala of family joy.

In short, the song to be sung has been decided, it is "Thousand Thousand Songs," and I believe it can be liked by fans on both sides.

As for the song of the champion of the Song Friends Meeting, it depends on who wins the championship. Anyway, the Greater Bay Area Gala is next Wednesday, and the last episode of the Song Friends Meeting is on the weekend, which is three days later. It is completely in time to report after the results come out.

In the evening, Miss Luo Quan told Gao Liang about the Greater Bay Area Gala.

When he heard this, he immediately flipped through his inbox, and then disappointedly found that he had not received an invitation.

Like the previous few times, probably this time it was also because of the same reason that he could not go on stage to perform.

Of course, Gao Liang is not unable to understand, and at the same time, he did not feel sorry for himself because of this setback.

Not being invited this time means his fame is not big enough.

If he could have the influence of his sister, such a stage would always find him.

Of course, his sister also has part of the responsibility.

Clearly knowing that he is likely not to get an invitation now, she still wants to fool him and give him hope, and then let him experience disappointment.

This feeling of ice and fire is really not a comfortable experience.

Gao Liang sighed helplessly and told his sister all the complaints in his heart.

"So that's how you understand it?" Miss Luo Quan laughed from ear to ear when she heard Gao Liang's thoughts. "But I clearly just notified you of the news. What if you got an invitation?"

"This kind of thing is impossible even if you just think about it." Gao Liang said with a face of regret. "Maybe it will be better after I stay for a few more years. I remember there was a foreigner named Dashan before. His Mandarin was not as good as mine, and he could still go on the Spring Festival Gala several times. After I stay for a few more years and become a Huaxia expert, I should be able to get such treatment by then. If it doesn't work, I will take some short videos on Douyin, such as 'Promise me, those who don't love the country, please swipe away.' If it can become popular, the effect should be quite good."

Gao Liang put forward the above methods, but Miss Luo Quan felt that none of them were very reliable.

Especially the second one, which was so abstract that people couldn't help but frown.

"These methods of yours seem to be too abstract. What's the use of taking such short videos that increase laughter?" Miss Luo Quan looked at her younger brother who was sick and went to the doctor and couldn't laugh or cry. "But I have a way, maybe it will work."

"What, say it quickly!" Gao Liang's tone became urgent.

"The Winter Olympics are coming soon, and it's only a few months away." Miss Luo Quan suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

"Winter Olympics? What does that have to do with me?" Gao Liang likes sports, but it doesn't mean he has sports talent, especially those snow sports that can only be carried out in winter, so he is even less good at it.

"Sister, you don't mean for me to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics to increase my popularity, and then go on the Spring Festival Gala in this way?" Gao Liang guessed Miss Luo Quan's intention and put forward a relatively reliable method.

"Of course not. Even if you participate, you represent the United States. If you really win a gold medal, won't you be scolded to death by netizens?" Miss Luo Quan shook her head and smiled, explaining: "My meaning is, the Winter Olympics is a very good opportunity. At that time, many foreigners will come to Huaxia. And such a grand event, the Spring Festival Gala behind the Winter Olympics will definitely have related program performances. I remember that after the last Beijing Olympics, the Spring Festival Gala that year let many foreigners go on the show, and this time I think there should be one too. And your Huaxia language is so good, you can completely volunteer to perform in these programs."

"That's what I said." Gao Liang lowered his head and thought for a while. "But how do I know when these programs start recruiting people?"

"Isn't there your sister?" Miss Luo Quan proudly pointed her thumb at herself. "The Spring Festival Gala needs rehearsals. Can I not receive an invitation? When I am invited, just ask the director directly, and then ask for a spot for you, right?"

"Damn, this is a good way!" Excitement appeared in Gao Liang's eyes.

"So you should prepare well. During this time, go on more shows and increase your exposure. The higher the national popularity, the more favorable it is to go on the show. Actually, I think your popularity on the internet is already very high. Who hasn't heard of the 'Dad's Diary' you took now? So I think when the Spring Festival Gala is about to rehearse, maybe you don't need me to mention it, and the director will take the initiative to invite you. After all, just talking about popularity, there are not many people on Douyin and Weibo who can surpass you now. And your Chinese is so good. If you don't invite it, it's too unreasonable."

"Hehe, I hope so. It's the best result if you don't have to rely on relationships to go through the back door." Gao Liang took a deep breath and felt that he might need to post more video content these days.

Dad's Diary is not enough. Should I make another interesting unit?

How about Gao Liang chatting with you about the United States?

Women on Douyin and Weibo seem to be quite interested in foreign countries, especially Europe and America.

If he chats with them about what life in the United States and the United Kingdom is like, and then compares it with Huaxia, will it be very interesting?

Gao Liang doesn't know about other platforms, but there are quite a few similar foreign up-hosts on B-station, basically all with millions of fans.

This number is tens of millions of fans on other platforms, which is a quite good scale.

Looking at it this way, this series might really have a prospect of doing it.

Thinking of this, Gao Liang gradually made up his mind and planned to add some segments of chatting about London anecdotes to the short video of Dad's Diary first, and see how the fans react before talking. ===== CHAPTER 1178 =====

"So you should prepare well, go on more shows during this time, and increase your exposure. The higher your national popularity, the more advantageous it is for getting on shows.

Actually, I think your online popularity is already very high. Who hasn't heard of that 'Dad's Diary' you filmed?

So I think when the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals are about to start, maybe you won't even need me to mention it; the directors will take the initiative to invite you themselves.

After all, just in terms of popularity, there aren't many who can surpass you on Douyin and Weibo right now.

And your Chinese is so good; if they don't invite you, it would be completely unjustifiable."

"Hehe, I hope so. It's the best result if I don't have to rely on connections to go through the back door." Gao Liang took a deep breath, feeling that he should perhaps post more video content these days.

'Dad's Diary' isn't enough; should I add another interesting segment?

How about 'Gao Liang Chats with You About America'?

The women on Douyin and Weibo seem quite interested in foreign countries, especially Europe and America.

If I chat with them about what life is like in the US and UK, and then compare it with China, wouldn't that be very watchable?

Gao Liang doesn't know about other platforms, but there are quite a few similar foreign content creators on Bilibili, basically all with millions of followers.

That number would be tens of millions of followers on other platforms, which is a quite impressive scale.

Looking at it this way, this series might really have the potential to be developed.

Thinking of this, Gao Liang gradually made up his mind, planning to first add some segments about London anecdotes into the short videos of 'Dad's Diary' to see how the fans react before deciding further.
