Chapter 707: Xu Chujing's
Today, Ding Xiaoyu is wearing a small black dress.
The skirt reaches her knees, revealing her fair, shapely calves.
The camera first gives her a wide shot from the side.
Whether a person's profile looks good has a lot to do with their bone structure.
Ding Xiaoyu's profile is very superior, and coupled with her swan-like neck, she looks exceptionally beautiful on stage.
For the entire piano solo stage, at the beginning, only one spotlight shines on her and the piano.
The piece is called "All I Think of is the Galaxy," so when she plays the first note, a star lights up in the dim part of the stage.
This piece has many similarities to the previous "Canon."
That is, it also has a great deal of 【repetition】.
A few notes are played over and over again, yet there are subtle changes, and the emotions are also shifting.
A young girl playing the piano quietly, paired with the gentle and peaceful piano sound, can make one's inner heart feel incomparably calm and comfortable.
For some reason, everyone feels that there is a strong sense of healing in this piece.
When the song title appears, the small text below tells all the audience that the composition is from the hand of Luo Mo.
If you were to say how high-level or profound this piece is, that would not be the case.
Its advantage lies in the listener's feelings.
Especially when listening to this piece after the song "Listen to Mom," it feels like returning to childhood, returning to a mother's embrace, sitting at the doorstep to enjoy the cool air, and then looking up at the twinkling stars.
Luo Mo personally feels that this piece is quite stress-relieving.
He first heard this piece himself on a short video platform.
It was an animation called "You Look Delicious," and the editor used "All I Think of is the Galaxy" as the background music.
Well, the name of this animation sounds a bit dirty, but it actually tells the story of a dinosaur.
Adding the two together, the sense of healing is very strong.
Several videos have over a million likes.
Later on, because this instrumental music became more and more popular, some people even wrote lyrics for it, and then it was sung by 【The Cat of the Landlord】, releasing a song with the same name.
At this moment, on stage, as Ding Xiaoyu plays, more and more light spots are lit up.
Slowly, they converge into a starry sky.
Once the starry sky appears, the spotlight shining on Ding Xiaoyu and the piano suddenly goes out.
Her slender fingers dance on the keys, and the moment the spotlight dissipates, those motionless light spots on the stage suddenly begin to move, as if the galaxy is "flowing" on the stage!
They circle and echo around the girl and the piano; everything is too beautiful and resplendent.
"Wow! These stage effects are so beautiful!"
"It makes Yu look even more ethereal!"
"My god, isn't this too good-looking?"
"I feel like I've been healed."
"Her skin is so fair, it feels like her whole person is glowing!"
"I'm going to download it later; it feels suitable for listening to before bed!"
The girl is eye-catching, and the starry sky is also eye-catching; they actually have a sense of reflecting each other.
I have to say, this stage that Luo Mo designed for Ding Xiaoyu is very effective at gaining fans.
By the time the song ends, countless audience members are deeply attracted by her.
And now, the night is getting deeper and deeper.
……..
……..
Generally speaking, for an average gala, as time gets later and the night gets deeper, the golden time of the gala is declared over.
But don't forget, this is a New Year's Eve Gala.
The New Year's Eve countdown hasn't even started yet.
What's more, for many young people today, eleven or twelve o'clock is considered early.
After Ding Xiaoyu's piano solo ends, what everyone is looking forward to most is Xu Chujing's solo stage.
Everyone waits and waits, and then they realize something is a bit off.
Now, the moment of the so-called 【New Year's Eve】 is getting closer and closer.
There aren't many minutes left!
The host only just starts to come on stage to transition between programs.
From their conversation, one can hear that the program before the 【New Year's Eve】 countdown is Xu Chujing's solo.
"There are only 3 minutes left."
"Jing's song isn't very long!"
"A bit strange."
After all, it's impossible to give her all these remaining three-plus minutes to sing.
After she finishes singing, the host still needs to say some auspicious words or some content to stir up the atmosphere before starting the countdown for the whole venue to celebrate the New Year.
In other words, judging from the time, Xu Chujing's solo stage is very likely to be compressed to only two-plus minutes, or even just two minutes!
This really shouldn't be the case.
A dignified top Singer Queen, at a satellite TV station, is this all the status she gets?
And Luo Mo is the Chief Planner!
Could it be that this song itself is very short?
By the time the two hosts finished all their transition dialogue and the camera turned to Xu Chujing, there were only exactly three minutes left until the New Year's Eve countdown.
This left those die-hard fans of Xu Chujing with a small sense of disappointment.
To them, this meant that Jing's solo stage would likely only be about two minutes long.
Ah, how could that ever be enough to listen to!
Luo Mo, you aren't being very decent this time!
What's the matter, did you find it impossible to cut anything else when you were trimming the program time with Ning Dao, so you could only cut your own girlfriend's time?
But in reality, is that truly the case?
——Naturally not!
He had his own special arrangements.
This is a song with a special theme and a very special creative format.
Therefore, Luo Mo still put his heart into making some different arrangements.
Although Octopus TV is just a satellite channel, Luo Mo still wanted to make the scale grand!
Since he wanted to battle CCTV in terms of online Live Broadcast data, he had to win thoroughly.
Otherwise, there would definitely be people saying: "Octopus TV won because it's more entertaining; ha, what an age of entertainment to death."
Luo Mo: "Watch me max out the scale!"
With exactly 3 minutes left until the New Year's countdown, the title of the song of praise that Xu Chujing was about to perform began to appear.
——"As You Wish"!
……..
……..
"As You Wish" was sung by Wang Fei on Earth.
The Lyricist is Tang Tian, the cancer-fighting girl who wrote "Lone Warrior".
This song was released as the promotional song for the mainstream film "My Country, My Parents".
It praises the sacrifices of our predecessors.
The structure of the entire song can actually be subdivided into three parts.
The first part is 【Gratitude】, the second is 【Inheritance】, and the third is 【Pioneering】.
Luo Mo made new arrangements for the stage based on the song's special structure.
Seeing Xu Chujing standing alone on the stage at this moment, she was completely capable of commanding the scene.
No stage effects were needed; she alone was enough.
Countless viewers were full of anticipation.
"A new song! Luo Mo wrote a new song for Jing!"
"Ah! Satisfied!"
"Comforting, so comforting!"
"Mo Xu CP, go!"
The prelude of the song began to play, and Xu Chujing held the microphone and began Singing.
"【You are the distant road,
The lamp in the mountain mist,
I am but a child,
Walking in your gaze.】"
After these lines were sung, scenes from "That Year Those Rabbits" actually appeared on the big screen.
Some people still had a deep impression of this episode; it was called "Stepping onto an Unknown Journey".
That was when the main force had to relocate, and some people had to stay behind to fight a blocking action to ensure the main force could retreat.
"Those who have joined the Party, raise your hands!" The subtitles appeared, and everyone seemed to hear the voices.
Many people still remembered that in this episode, a little Rabbit with a milky voice also wanted to stay behind to fight the blocking action, but was refused.
"Dear, when it comes to sacrificing for the revolution, we have priority."
After saying this, that Rabbit looked at the little Rabbit and gave him a star.
The main force began to retreat, and that Rabbit watched from afar as the little Rabbit left.
This scene corresponded perfectly to the lyrics: 【I am but a child, walking in your gaze】.
Listening to Xu Chujing continue to sing:
"【You are the bright moon and clear breeze,
I am the dream you watch over,
Whether we meet or not, I embrace you for a lifetime.】"
On the big screen, the scene changed again, arriving at the episode 【Wanderer Returns】 from the first season of "That Rabbit".
The new Zhonghuajia has been established; dears, come back, let's build the new Zhonghuajia together!
When Xu Chujing sang 【I am the dream you watch over】, she happened to see many Rabbits being locked up together by Eagle Sauce, not allowed to go home.
They said: Every Rabbit has a dream of a great nation!
Then, many wanderers returned to the embrace of Zhonghuajia; they came to the Great Gobi, hid their names, and worked together to create their own Mushroom Bomb!
Their families didn't know what they were doing; they seemed to have disappeared.
Using abacuses, they worked out the theoretical design for the Mushroom Bomb within two years!
Some people died there.
During their lifetimes, their families didn't even know what a great thing they were doing!
Their descendants might only understand later that the peace and stability of the present were given by them; we grew up under their embrace and wings.
It corresponds perfectly to the lyrics—【Whether seen or unseen, I embrace you for a lifetime】.
One only heard Xu Chujing singing to the chorus part of section A.
"【And I will Love You the world you love,
Wishing for the smiling face you wish for,
Your hand, I stumble to hold,
Please take me to tomorrow.】"
When this part was sung, an elderly Rabbit appeared on the screen; he could no longer walk steadily.
Finally, lying on the hospital bed, he said: "My time is running out, help me up."
"Alright, bring the computer over."
He was so old and weak: "C drive, the C drive has been organized, alright, alright..."
"Dear, my dream of a great nation is handed over to you all."
After this content appeared, the bullet comments never stopped.
"Actually paired with 'Year Hare Affair'!"
"Can't reminisce, I want to cry as soon as I reminisce!"
"The compatibility is so high!"
Some people were also posting the subtitles that appear at the end of every episode of the first season of 'Year Hare Affair'—【Happy and Grateful】.
Xu Chujing continued to sing the chorus on the screen.
"【If you have suffered through my sweetness,
I wish to live as your wish.
May it not be in vain, may we go forward bravely,
Every day of this Prosperous Age.】"
The content paired with this part of the song is 【The Charge Bugle in the Cold Wind】 from the third episode of the first season.
Beside Changjin Lake, the Eagle Sauces complained that the canned luncheon meat was truly too disgusting to eat, while the Rabbits were lurking in the ice and snow, the cold wind biting their bones, hungry and famished.
Saliva would freeze, and tears would also freeze.
What kind of suffering is this!
The time arrived, and the lurking Rabbit drilled out from the snow.
"Dear?" he asked.
The snow pile beside him remained motionless.
Minus forty-something degrees, a full four hours of lurking.
This Rabbit wiped his tears while choking with sobs: "Tears, tears will also freeze."
The charge bugle sounded at this moment; they were righteous and unhesitating, moving forward bravely!
One Rabbit after another emerged from the snow piles and charged forward.
Strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming!
We fight this battle so that the younger generations don't have to!
Doesn't the lyric sing 【You have suffered through my sweetness】?
Two lines of subtitles emerged.
"【What is suffering first and sweetness later?】"
"【Let our predecessors suffer, let us descendants be sweet.】"
The visuals of 'Year Hare Affair' are themselves a wave of nostalgia.
Paired with these two lines of text, plus Xu Chujing's singing voice, it made countless viewers burst into tears instantly.
The A section of the song ended, and the first part of the three-part structure, 【Gratitude】, was thus finished.
In this section, the singing was on the soft and whispering side, and in the entire background music, the sound was not very loud, leaning towards soothing.
Since there is a three-part structure, then, there must certainly be three different singing styles to interpret it.
After the interlude ended, as soon as Xu Chujing opened her voice, everyone felt that her singing style had changed significantly.
Her awesome singing technique was perfectly embodied at this moment.
"【You are the long river of time,
The sky where sparks are ignited,
I am the one looking up, singing you into a song.】"
In the snow, during the march.
An elderly Rabbit gave his cotton-padded coat to a young Rabbit.
"Come, put on the cotton coat; you little sparks are precious."
"What about you?" the little Rabbit asked.
"Me? I am a flame!" The old Rabbit took out his pipe and said: "Look, this is the thing I use to survive on the mountain, go."
The scene shifted; in this ice and snow, how could the old Rabbit hold on?
He rested under a withered tree, but the pipe he called 【the thing to survive on the mountain】 could not be lit no matter what.
"Can't it be lit?" He smiled with relief.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." He slowly closed his eyes.
"The spark that starts a prairie fire, I have left it behind."
More and more viewers, listening to the song while watching the silent screen, were sobbing uncontrollably.
Xu Chujing continued to use a singing style clearly different from the A-section, singing:
"【You are where I come from,
And also where my heart returns,
All the roads in the world will eventually meet you.】"
Dear ones, in the cities where you live, are there any roads named after... some people?
In the past, did you feel nothing in your hearts when looking at these road names?
But what if you tried to understand the stories behind these names?
Dear ones on Earth, when you were in school, you all learned a sentence: There were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walked them, they became roads.
In the past, did you not understand the deep meaning within it?
Now, when you look at it paired with the lyrics, seeing this line 【All the roads in the world will eventually meet you】, will you have a different feeling?
When Xu Chujing sang the chorus for the second time, using a different singing style to sing the line 【And I will Love You the people you loved in this world】, that thick sense of Inheritance could be said to be rushing toward the face.
Many audience members, when hearing this and seeing this, had already completely forgotten to pay attention to the time.
There were only a dozen seconds left until the 【New Year's Eve】 moment.
By the time Xu Chujing finished singing the entire B-section chorus, singing to the line 【Every day of this Prosperous Age】, it was exactly about 3 minutes.
That is to say, it was exactly midnight!
Yes, Luo Mo did not intend to do any New Year's Eve countdown.
He was prepared to take a new path.
Completing the New Year's Eve transition within the singing.
Why did he make such a choice?
Because so-called New Year's Eve is actually the replacement of the new with the old.
And it just so happens that the second section of this song's structure is about 【Inheritance】, while the third section is about 【Pioneering】!
Pioneering—a new era!
One could hear Xu Chujing raise her pitch.
The entire singing style also began to trend toward being impassioned.
"【The mountains and rivers are safe and sound, the fireworks are ordinary!】"
When this line was sung, it hit exactly midnight!
As soon as the two words "fireworks" came out, just like New Year's Eves of previous years, these semi-open, semi-outdoor stages began to set off grand fireworks!
The brilliant fireworks exploded high above the stage, so dazzling and bright!
The camera gave a close-up of the fireworks, which were beautiful to the extreme in the night sky.
They shot up so high, as if reporting to the stars in the sky.
Xu Chujing's singing voice echoed within this close-up shot: "【But you are looking out as you wished】?"
Many people, watching the fireworks explode just like that and listening to these few lines of singing, had goosebumps rising wildly, and even couldn't help but have their eyes turn red.
It was too shocking; this unique New Year's Eve stage was truly too shocking!
The entire stage design could also be said to perfectly fit the lyrics.
Since New Year's Eve is the replacement of the new with the old, and since the remaining third section structure is about Pioneering, then, in the new year, let us sing out loud with passion!
The image cut back from the full long shot to a close-up on the stage.
Xu Chujing's singing style had changed once again.
There was harmony appearing here, pushing the entire atmosphere upward.
"【And I will dream the reunion you dreamed of,
Wish for the eternity you wished for.
Walk the long road you walked,
Loving you like this!】"
On the big screen, the Animation ended and began to change into scenes of the real world.
During holidays, we can eat our reunion dinners in peace.
Many martyrs' cemeteries were also filled with fresh flowers.
Children stood there, listening to the adults tell the stories of their predecessors.
We are, in a different way, just like these predecessors, struggling for the development of the motherland.
——Different paths, same destination!
In another way, 【Walk the long road you walked】.
Some chose to join the army, some chose scientific research, some practiced medicine to save people, some threw themselves into firefighting...
We only want to tell you in heaven: "This is no longer a single spark, but 1.4 billion flames that can start a prairie fire!!!"
On stage, Xu Chujing held the microphone in her right hand, opened her left arm, sang out loud, and raised her pitch again!
"【I will also see the world you haven't seen,
Write the poems you haven't written.】"
In the past, you stood on tiptoe to visit foreign military equipment. You had no ships, so you borrowed them from fishermen; the fishermen asked, "You are a Navy Commander, yet you still borrow ships from me."
Today, the images on the big screen are of fighter jets taking off, tanks driving, and aircraft carriers launching!
In the past, someone went to the Olympics all alone. Yes, the first time Huaxia participated in the Olympics, there was only one person, traveling far to a foreign land, running on the track and field as best as he could.
Today, on the big screen, it is athletes winning glory for the country, with the red flag rising slowly!
In the past, someone hoped that the people of the whole country would no longer worry about having enough to eat.
Today, on the big screen, the wind blows across the Rice Field, and the scene is so beautiful.
Once, someone went into the mountains to teach and never left; she only wanted to let more children walk out of the mountains.
Today, on the big screen, her students are stepping into one university after another, learning new knowledge they once dared not even imagine but deeply longed for!
Once, someone defended the home and the country, not hesitating to sacrifice their life.
Today, on the big screen, border defense soldiers are facing the red flag, taking an oath in unison: "I swear to defend the motherland with my life!"
Once...
Today...
They are all watching from the sky.
A new year has arrived, continue to work hard.
Let them take a good look at this brand-new world!
May this Prosperous Age be as you wished.
The song "As You Wished", ends!
