Chapter 271: Blue and White Porcelain

~12 min read 2,304 words

This year's Spring Festival Gala, like in previous years, adopted a dual mode of simultaneous live broadcast on television stations and online platforms.

The difference between the two actually manifests mainly in the bullet comments.

Many middle-aged and elderly people do not like bullet comments, but some young people like to watch with them; after all, there will be roasting points and funny moments in the bullet comments, and it is more interesting for everyone to interact.

The hosts of the Spring Festival Gala are still that group of familiar old faces.

A batch of them actually should have retired, but unfortunately, there are no suitable Newcomers to take over for the time being, so it is estimated they will continue hosting for a few more years.

As soon as the Live Broadcast started, a group of viewers was already interacting in the bullet comments.

"Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

During the New Year, everyone is harmonious and friendly.

Many people are telling themselves in their hearts: "Even if the upcoming programs are very ugly, I must roast them tactfully, try my best not to use profanity, and be a Huaxia person with quality."

Anyway, these days, everyone is a master of sarcasm, and using profanity is already a very low-class thing.

The General Director of the Spring Festival Gala, Qian Qingyun, is running around busily backstage, and many performers appearing on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time are also incomparably nervous backstage.

Of course, there are also many ambitious people.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala also has viewership data, and on the Blue Star, this data will be made public tomorrow.

Categories like 【Song Category】, 【Dance Category】, and 【Skits Category】 will have their top ten works announced by category.

Just appearing on the Spring Festival Gala is already a supreme honor, and if one's own program can also make it into the top ten, then on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it can be said that one can show off across the entire internet!

This year's Spring Festival Gala can be said to be gathering a galaxy of stars.

Qian Qingyun has Connections and ability, making this year's lineup even more luxurious than in previous years.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the song programs.

This year, a top-tier lineup of four Heavenly Kings and three Heavenly Queens has been assembled.

Three Heavenly Kings, three Heavenly Queens, plus Luo Mo, this 【King of Love Songs】.

Including Luo Mo and calling them the four Heavenly Kings and three Heavenly Queens, apart from Xu Chujing's fans, the fans of the other Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens are somewhat unhappy.

Your own Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens have been famous for many years; no matter how popular you, Luo Mo, are, your Seniority is too shallow, so why should you be placed together as equals?

Moreover, this 【King of Love Songs】 title of yours is a title from a variety show, and there is still a huge gap in gold content compared to a 【Heavenly King】.

This group of people doesn't care whether this title was won from the Heavenly King Zhao Xueqin; anyway, variety show titles are just not presentable!

Luo Mo doesn't really care about this; after all, this title wasn't something he shouted out himself, it was completely made up by the media.

He himself never thought about being placed on par with a group of people; if he really had to be paired, he would only want to be paired with Xu Chujing alone.

In reality, the pressure has instead come to these Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens.

"Stop scolding, stop scolding Luo Mo!"

"The more you scold him and say he is unworthy of his position, the more pressure we have!"

The status of the Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens is set here, and the programs they are responsible for must have viewership data that can hold up.

Like a girl group such as Aurora Girls appearing on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, even if the ratings flop, no one will say anything.

But they are different; they must aim to make the list, or even aim for first place in the 【Song Category】!

Luo Mo is killing it this year and is unstoppable; who knows what kind of work this founder of Chinese Style will bring to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

If he performs normally, getting into the top ten won't be too easy; if he performs seriously, he will definitely aim for the top three.

In case he is in excellent condition recently and his inspiration is overflowing... everyone is afraid of being rubbed against the floor by him!

On the contrary, the Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen from Pineapple don't have this trouble.

Because neither Zhao Xueqin nor Chun Xiao were invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year.

One program after another began to take the stage to perform, and many viewers expressed one after another that this year's Spring Festival Gala was indeed done better than the previous two years.

There were no frequent appearances of those outdated old tropes, nor were there too many tear-jerkers or sudden attempts to elevate the value.

More of it was the shock in terms of audiovisuals!

"Although Director Qian's movies in recent years haven't been great, in terms of lens aesthetics, he is truly invincible domestically!"

"This stage art, who dares to challenge it?"

"Director Qian, why don't you stop making movies in the future and just contract all the galas in the country!"

"Yes, yes, yes, not just galas, but also various opening ceremonies!"

"That waist drum dance just now made my scalp tingle; it was absolutely amazing!"

By the ninth program, Aurora Girls made a shining appearance.

As soon as the six girls, each with their own unique characteristics, appeared on the screen, the bullet comments went crazy.

"I'm going to call my mom to watch this together."

"Relatives asked me what kind of wife I'm looking for, and I couldn't help but point to the screen, tears of frustration flowing from the corners of my mouth."

"So beautiful! Xiao Shen's figure is amazing!"

"Leg Fairy! A Leg Fairy has appeared!"

Once "Chinese Language" came out, the atmosphere at the scene could be described as extremely good.

This program itself was on the Spring Festival Gala on Earth, and it was many years ago at that.

At that time, everyone's national self-confidence was not as strong as it is now, and being able to sing such proud lyrics was actually quite cool.

For this Spring Festival Gala version of "Chinese Language," Luo Mo made a small amount of adaptation in the Arranger to match the stage art of the entire stage.

To use the award acceptance speech where Zhou Dong was making small talk while receiving an award: "Composing is like me giving birth to a child, and arranging is like dressing this child in various clothes."

Changing the arrangement is actually just changing the child's Hang Tou.

Six pairs of long legs were Singing and Dancing on the stage, and when singing the chorus "The whole world is learning Chinese Language," the atmosphere was incomparably enthusiastic.

Some audience members familiar with this song could not help but hum along in low voices.

As for some elders with a sense of mischief, they had the children in their homes start reciting the tongue twisters in the song.

Watching the children's comical expressions one by one, they laughed exceptionally brightly.

Inside the television and outside the television, they actually interacted in such a bizarre way!

Not to mention, this song is actually quite popular with children to a certain extent.

The song "Chinese Language" soon came to an end.

The six young girls stood together and sang that most inspiring closing line:

"【The whole world is speaking Chinese Language,

The language we speak makes the world listen carefully.】"

As soon as this line was delivered, the barrage comments surged again.

"Ahhh! Hearing this line at the Spring Festival Gala, my heart is touched even more intensely!"

"My sense of pride is about to overflow!"

"I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of our Huaxia diplomatic team."

"Dominating! This is the kind of dominance we want!"

"Luo Mo writes lyrics, the scope is truly grand!"

With this "old song" "Chinese Language" as a prelude, everyone instantly began to look forward to Luo Mo's new song even more.

That is a song where, just by looking at the title, no one knows at all what the content will be.

Time passed minute by minute, and because the quality of the program was good, everyone did not find it agonizing to watch; on the contrary, they were having a great time.

Qian Qingyun took a look at the real-time viewership data backstage and completely set his mind at ease.

Judging from the current situation, it will be better than last year.

Over these years, the various data for the Spring Festival Gala have been falling year by year; being able to do better than last year is already very impressive, and it can be bragged about extensively tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Qian Qingyun did not arrange Luo Mo's new song and "Chinese Language" too closely together.

After the cooperation at the National Day Gala, he attached immense importance to Luo Mo and felt that it was worth building up the anticipation a bit more.

Therefore, a program by an Ordinary Heavenly King and an Ordinary Heavenly Queen was scheduled before Luo Mo.

After their performance ended, there would be other types of programs interspersed, and only then would it be Luo Mo's solo performance.

Furthermore, in terms of stage art and other aspects, Qian Qingyun spent a huge sum of money on Luo Mo's stage.

The stage budget for this song of his is shockingly high.

But regarding the overall effect, Qian Qingyun is incomparably confident.

"Presumably in a few years, this stage will also be brought out by people and revered as a classic," he said in his heart.

Time flowed by, and Luo Mo was finally about to take the stage.

The Spring Festival Gala hosts were carrying out the transition work, and the audience could hardly wait any longer.

Once the screen switched, many people's eyes lit up.

"Whoa! What a grand formation!"

Although it was Luo Mo's solo stage, there was not only him on the entire stage, but also several musicians.

"That young lady holding the flute and wearing a cyan cheongsam is so beautiful!"

"Great legs, and an even better temperament!"

"Am I the only one who likes the one holding the guqin?"

"Watching this makes me want to sign my daughter up for a Yueqi class; each one of them has such a great temperament!"

"Let me give everyone a bit of popular science: that elderly person holding a pipa and wearing a black Tang suit is the country's top pipa master, named Liu Songtao."

"Yes, yes, yes! His works have brought great trauma to my pipa career."

"It's all National Team members; Luo Mo's prestige is really something!"

As for Luo Mo himself, he sat leisurely in front of a guzheng.

The song he was about to bring was hailed by many as the pinnacle of "Chinese Style".

Although to each their own, and everyone has a different pinnacle in their hearts, this song indeed holds a pivotal position in the field of Chinese Style.

The creators of this song were still those "Three Musketeers": Fang Wenshan, Zhou Jielun, and Zhong Xingmin.

Luo Mo had watched a video breaking down the stems of this song, which is to take apart every Yueqi in the accompaniment and let you listen to them one by one.

The entire video lasted fifteen minutes, and after listening to it, he found it astonishing.

It was also at that time that he understood why many people used a very strange word to describe the music of Naicha Lun:

——Extravagant!

Yes, it is extravagant.

It is just that the extravagance here naturally does not refer to squandering money.

Rather, it is the endless squandering of talent!

Extravagant intro, extravagant melody, extravagant harmony, extravagant Arranger...

After a few simple Yueqi sounds, Luo Mo's hands were already placed on the guzheng.

The camera first gave a close-up to see how he played the guzheng.

The sound spread out, the melody was melodious, and it was full of charm.

"Pre-chorus Kill! A Pre-chorus Kill appears again!"

Every time a Pre-chorus Kill appeared, the listeners knew that Luo Mo was about to unleash a big move again.

Not to mention, the way Luo Mo played the guzheng made countless audience members feel it was a bit too handsome.

This kind of oriental charm was completely different from the feeling given before.

His entire temperament settled down within the stage atmosphere, giving people a sense of gentleness and refinement.

You must know that on Earth, many people have brought a guzheng and performed the accompaniment to this song on streets abroad, and each time there were hundreds of people watching, sparking waves of exclamation.

When the camera cut to a long shot, one could see that the ink wash had already spread across the entire stage.

The stage special effects were created with great artistic conception, incorporating a large amount of ink wash elements, beautiful and magnificent.

The sound of the guzheng and the special effects blended extremely well.

The song title appeared at this moment.

——《Blue and White Porcelain》!
