Chapter 50: Appearance at the Spring Festival Gala
Finally, after the fourth rehearsal.
The Spring Festival Gala is also approaching.
The Spring Festival Gala program list has also appeared in the public eye.
When Xia's parents learned that their daughter would be making her debut on the Spring Festival Gala stage, they felt a surge of pride.
She made several phone calls to inform her relatives and friends that Ling Xia would be performing on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
They didn't disturb Ling Xia's performance because they knew how much pressure it would be to stand on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Ling Xia's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala program list has been met with both joy and disapproval.
Professional trolls have emerged online.
"How can someone with no original works appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage? This makes one want to think carefully."
"I wonder how much money she spent to get on the Spring Festival Gala stage. What does it mean to be a lone hero?"
"Ling Xia, we're waiting for you to slip up on the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast tonight."
The Spring Festival Gala stage is always subject to a lot of criticism. Even before the performance starts, many netizens will still complain because their idols are not on the Gala.
Xia's sudden rise to fame this year may have made some people jealous. They may be friendly to you on the surface, but behind your back they may be plotting something.
……
The Spring Festival Gala is fast approaching.
Lingxia hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. After all, the pressure is quite high. She can't relax until the very last moment before going on stage, because who knows if the show will cancel her performance due to unforeseen circumstances? Such situations do happen.
After changing her makeup and hair, Ling Xia was already waiting backstage at the official Chinese television station.
Many artists who performed at the Spring Festival Gala were also waiting backstage. Seeing so many big names, Xia didn't feel like taking a group photo.
We can only wait until after the performance.
And so, a group of people waited quietly backstage, waiting for the host to call their names.
Of course, they can see the situation at the main venue on the back-end display screen.
Soon, it was eight o'clock in the evening.
If you have a TV at home, turn it on.
If you don't have a TV, use your computer or mobile phone to watch the Spring Festival Gala live.
A group of lively netizens couldn't contain their excitement any longer, and the screen was filled with a dense barrage of comments. If you turned on the comments, you could only see the comments.
"Checking in, I'm the first one, I'm the first one."
"I wonder which performance from this year's Spring Festival Gala will become a hit. I'm most looking forward to watching the skits."
"Here it comes, let me see."
"Happy New Year to everyone! I wonder if I can receive any red envelopes?"
"My family has already finished making dumplings and is just waiting to cook them. We're afraid of interfering with watching the Spring Festival Gala, so we always finish making them in advance every year."
"My family's dumpling filling is celery, pork, and a coin. *smiling emoji*"
Amidst laughter and chatter.
As the countdown to 3.2.1 ended, the stage lights came on.
A group of enthusiastic young men and women danced the opening dance with great joy.
After the opening dance, the two pairs of male and female hosts, dressed in festive attire, walked onto the center of the stage.
The first to speak was the male host standing in the center, his deep, resonant voice ringing out.
"This is the live broadcast site of the 317 Spring Festival Gala of China Media Group."
"We made a pact with all the Chinese people on the planet Earth to stay up all night for the New Year."
He is one of China's top male hosts, appearing in many of China's major cultural and artistic galas. He is Kang Yijun.
As Kang Yijun finished speaking, a dignified and beautiful female voice rang out.
"This is a joyous and laughter-filled night of reunion. No matter where we are in the world, whether on or off screen, the Spring Festival Gala makes us one family."
Dong Qingqing, dressed in a red cheongsam, elegantly conveyed New Year's blessings.
The four of them took turns talking to each other.
"Welcoming spring, the garden is full of flowers, let's celebrate the New Year together!"
"Family members sit together, the lamplight warm and inviting. At the beginning of the New Year, everything is renewed."
……
"On this joyous occasion, I invite all Chinese people to celebrate the New Year together."
In just a few minutes, the four people's passionate opening remarks came to an end.
then.
The Spring Festival Gala program has officially begun.
Kang Yijun and Dong Qingqing began announcing the first program of the Spring Festival Gala.
Kang Yijun: "Enthusiastic dances always delight us. The next program is a dance performance, 'Flowers Bloom and the Moon is Full,' presented by the Huahao Yueyuan Dance Troupe. Please enjoy."
The host stepped off the stage.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed.
Within ten seconds, a group of girls wearing moon-shaped headdresses appeared on the stage.
They lay on their sides on the stage.
As the music began, the beautiful cello music echoed in my ears, followed by a rapid drumbeat.
"Thump~ thump~ thump"
A dozen or so girls moved in rhythm with the drumbeats, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
……
"Next up is a song, dedicated to the brave souls who make selfless contributions in life."
"They may be soldiers stationed far away on the frontier, anti-drug police officers working silently in the shadows, or people working in ordinary positions. We are sincerely grateful to them."
"Next, please enjoy Ling Xia's original song, 'The Lone Warrior'."
Finally, Ling Xia is going to step onto the Spring Festival Gala stage.
She took a deep breath and strode forward.
We sing for Chinese people all over the world.
She wore a long red dress, and her long, slightly curled hair fell down her back.
With snow-white skin and captivating eyes, she smiled at the audience.
The netizens who had been waiting for a long time, whether they were haters, fans or passersby, all rushed to send comments as soon as Ling Xia appeared.
"You've finally come out. Let's see what you're made of."
"Ahhhh, my baby has finally appeared! I took a deep breath in front of the screen. An original song! Baby, you are so amazing! You have blinded the haters with your talent."
"A bunch of fans who only care about looks. They haven't even sung the song yet, and they're already praising it. I'm waiting for Ling Xia to prove them wrong."
……
Ling Xia was standing on the stage unaware that a battle had already broken out in the comments section.
She calmed herself down.
The stage lights came on, and upbeat music started playing.
"The intro to this music is so catchy, it makes me want to move."
Ling Xia picked up the microphone and began to speak:
"They are all... brave."
Speak slowly.
As Ling Xia sang with deep emotion, the audience both at the venue and behind the screen were drawn into the scene Ling Xia depicted.
A person silently licks their wounds, ignoring the strange looks from others, and walks against the tide into the darkness, becoming a hero who is not understood by the masses.
The music gradually picked up speed, and Xia's voice rose in pitch as photos appeared on the screen on stage.
They are border guards, public security police officers, anti-drug police officers without photos, firefighters, and so on.
"Go? Do you deserve it? This tattered cloak."
"War, then, with the humblest of dreams."
"To the sobs and roars of the night!"
"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes!"
As the audience listened to the passionate lyrics, some sang along quietly during Ling Xia's second chorus, wiping away tears as they sang.
Yes, who says only those standing in the light are heroes?
We, the ordinary people, are always the ones standing in the light.
The online trolls have stopped attacking, after all, they are also Chinese, and even if they took money from others, they still have a bottom line when it comes to matters of principle.
