When the song and dance troupe first received Su Yu's song, everyone was dumbfounded.
They are professionals who specialize in this area, and their work has an official nature to it.
So, how could they not cherish such a perfectly suitable song for them?
Therefore, when Director Huang heard Su Yu's request, he agreed without a second thought.
They were already worrying about what kind of stage performance to put on for this year's Spring Festival Gala, and now Su Yu had delivered it directly to their doorstep, so what was there to hesitate about?
As for Su Yu's high presence in this year's Spring Festival Gala? They didn't think it was a bad thing!
At this moment, the people from the song and dance troupe looked at Kong Jing, who was bringing them glory on stage, and their hearts swelled with pride and honor.
Some of the first-tier actors in the song and dance troupe became even more determined to collaborate with Su Yu.
After all, they couldn't just let Kong Jing hog all the glory, could they? The other members of their song and dance troupe were not bad either, okay?
However, this would require Director Huang to do a lot of work in between; their urgency was of no use.
And the surprise clearly wouldn't end so early.
"【Deep affection regrets sincerity, looking back all are illusions.】"
Kong Jing's Kunqu opera narration came again from the stage.
Then came a high-pitched chant from Kong Jing that made people's scalps tingle!
This chant, which reached deep into the hearts of countless people, directly rendered countless musicians speechless.
Because they couldn't for the life of them come up with such a design.
And even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find such a suitable singer to perform it!
The best weapon, coupled with the most powerful ammunition, naturally delivers the highest damage!
At this moment, Kong Jing on stage gave people a sense of being unmatched.
At this point, Kong Jing truly became the Great Demon King of vocal performance in the music industry.
"Holy cow!" "Scalp tingling!" "Goosebumps everywhere" and other not-at-all-exaggerated bullet comments filled the live broadcast screen.
This showed the state of mind of the audience and netizens at this very moment.
And the next moment, the B section of the song arrived.
"【A scene of opera, sleeves rise and fall,
Singing joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, none of which concern me.
Fan opens and closes, gongs and drums sound then fall silent,
Outside the mirror lake, a cup of tea is still warm.】"
Kong Jing was singing loudly on the stage, and the story on the big screen continued.
Just now, due to Kong Jing's shocking performance, many people had somewhat overlooked the plot.
But fortunately, the "actor" in the big screen had also been singing on the stage before, feigning compliance with those hateful invaders.
"【Used to hide all joys, sorrows, and emotions in the makeup,
What if old lines are sung through, bones and ashes are all me.
A floating life in troubled times, unable to bear watching war engulf mountains and rivers,
Though humble, dare not forget to worry for the country, even if no one knows me.】"
Kong Jing's singing continued, but as she sang this section, the plot on the big screen underwent a drastic change.
Because the opera stage and theater, originally surrounded by invaders, suddenly burst into raging flames!
At this moment, the screen was filled with fire, and even through the screen, many people could feel the heat rushing towards them.
It turned out that while the "actor" in the story was singing to attract the invaders' attention, he had someone seal off the theater, and after his performance ended, he set the stage on fire!
He intended to perish with these shameless invaders!
Although he was of humble status and had no way to rush to the front lines, he chose a tragic way to express his love for this country and his love for the people who nourished him during peacetime.
To die to prove his resolve, without losing his integrity.
Are all actors heartless? Perhaps some are not...
Against the backdrop of the raging inferno, Kong Jing's operatic singing resumed, piercing deep into the heart of every audience member.
"【People off stage pass by, the old colors are gone,
People on stage sing, a heartbroken farewell song.
Emotions are hard to ink, he sings with blood,
Curtain rises, curtain falls, who is the guest.】"
At this moment, the desolation and tragedy went straight to people's hearts, and the impact of the operatic singing and the visuals brought tears to the eyes of countless viewers and netizens.
Countless people truly broke down at this moment.
Looking at the rapidly scrolling bullet comments like "Made me cry," "Broke me," "So touching," Zhang Guoshi felt a bit relieved at this moment.
It was important to know that the fire on this stage was deliberately created by a special effects team he hired.
The opera house in the picture was also temporarily built by people he found, and it was actually burned!
Otherwise, where would such realism come from?
"These 4.75 million were truly worth it! Old Zhang, we succeeded!" Gao Feng said with a smile, his eyes still wet with tears.
Although he had seen the complete version of this stage twice, every time he saw it, it always stirred his emotions and tears.
And 4.75 million was the cost of this stage, second only to the 5.66 million of the mountains and rivers stage!
That's right, although the mountains and rivers stage was just scenery, its production cost was higher!
After all, shooting across the entire country of Huaxia from north to south in a short period of time, the manpower and equipment deployed were truly unimaginable.
This was also done by CCTV; if a private company wanted to do it, tripling the cost would be an understatement.
"Spending every penny where it counts, wasn't that what we agreed on from the beginning? It's not unexpected to have the current presentation, not unexpected..."
Zhang Guoshi's voice was also a bit hoarse as he replied.
And just as the two were speaking, the narration on the stage sounded again.
"【Deep affection regrets sincerity, looking back all are illusions.】"
The next moment, Kong Jing, dressed in crimson, flew through the "sea of fire," as if her entire being had plunged into the flames.
"【Once asked right from wrong, once bravely sang of rise and fall.
Say ruthless, say emotional, how to ponder.
Say ruthless, say emotional, how to ponder.】"
The operatic singing sounded again, and Kong Jing's final "how to ponder" directly soared to a new height in high notes.
And with this high note, the great fire on the stage extinguished, and the song title the red actress reappeared on the big screen.
the red actress, it turned out to be red...
It was only at this moment that some people belatedly realized.
Then came the thunderous applause from the live audience.
And Kong Jing, in her red dress, bowed deeply to take her curtain call, quietly exiting the stage after the host ascended.
"the red actress is definitely a divine stage! The best of this year's Spring Festival Gala!"
"It's really awesome, but isn't it too early to say it's the best stage? Su Shen hasn't even performed yet!"
"Why are you arguing? Isn't the red actress Su Shen's song?"
"Yes, yes, yes, just watch the show honestly. I feel like this year's Spring Festival Gala is really good!"
"......"
the red actress stage boosted CCTV-1's real-time viewership to 16.51%! The overall viewership even reached 33.33%!
The viewership peak recently set by hidden wings was once again surpassed.
And the current time is 10:10 PM.
However, in the subsequent time, maintaining this viewership rate would suffice.
Because as it gets later, the main demographic watching TV, which is the middle-aged and elderly, will go to sleep.
Young people now mostly watch live streams on their phones or computers, and it's rare for them to stay in front of the TV.
However, what was originally a routine occurrence did not happen at this year's Spring Festival Gala!
At 10:30 PM, when the newly crowned Heavenly King Chen Yixun took the stage, the real-time viewership began to steadily rise again.
