Chapter 49 Spring Festival Gala Invitation
Chapter 49 Spring Festival Gala Invitation
Director Zhang Ran approached Ling Xia mysteriously and, under the watchful eyes of many staff members, led her to a secluded spot.
"Guess what kind of shocking news I have for you."
Ling Xia looked at the mysterious director, completely baffled. Hadn't she already sent him the complete version of Lone Warrior a few days ago?
Shocking news?
Is filming almost finished?
No, we've only filmed half of it!
Could it be that she said something like that yesterday, telling the director to buy a lottery ticket, and the director won the lottery?
Ling Xia: Shocked.
"Director Zhang, you've won the lottery."
Buying lottery tickets... what?!
Seeing Ling Xia's shocked expression, Zhang Ran was expecting her to reveal some shocking news.
Well, that's all she could think of.
"The ending theme song you sent me was so powerful and moving."
"The perfect lyrics combined with the dynamic music make 'The Lone Warrior' a sure hit song that will become a phenomenon."
"How did you grow such a clever little head?"
"In order not to let your talent be tarnished, I specially recommended you to a friend of mine. My friend loved the song 'The Lone Warrior' as soon as he heard it."
In fact, ever since he heard the full version of "The Lone Warrior," he has been captivated by it. Yesterday, on a whim, he sent the audio to a WeChat group, which alarmed a group of old men in the group.
The group chat remained quiet until midnight yesterday.
It was past 2 a.m. when Zhang Ran had just lain down to rest for a while.
One of the people in the group, who should have been the busiest at the moment, called him and chased away his drowsiness.
The person emphasized that the song must be performed on a bigger stage, and he refused on the spot, because it was the theme song for a TV series.
At that person's repeated insistence, we reasoned with them and appealed to their emotions.
He ultimately agreed, prioritizing the greater good over his own family.
He sincerely invites you to a large party.
"A party? We're filming a drama, how can we have time to attend? Wouldn't that affect the filming schedule?" Ling Xia replied with a look that said, "Director, are you kidding me?"
"My friend is Zhang Yimou."
The national advisor Zhang Yimou, wasn't that the Spring Festival Gala, which has the largest audience in China?
Ling Xia: !!
What should I do? My heart is pounding, and I can hardly breathe.
A huge pie fell from the sky; it was made of gold.
The Spring Festival Gala is a stage that countless stars dream of. Standing on it means you will be watched by Chinese people all over the world.
Unexpectedly, this unintentional act led to a remarkable success, as the song "The Lone Warrior" propelled him onto China's biggest stage.
"Director, are you serious?" Ling Xia reached out and shook the director's arm.
Seeing Ling Xia's excited expression, Zhang Ran felt as gratified as if his own child had achieved success. "Your agent should have received the news by now. I have inside information, so get ready!"
"Um"
……
That same day, Lingxia received a call from Sister Zhao, who sounded extremely excited.
"Lingxia, your song 'The Lone Warrior' has been selected for the Spring Festival Gala, and you're the singer again."
"The official notification came directly to the company, and I found out from the company as well. As soon as I heard about it, I came over to tell you. By the way, Chairman Lin Tingshen praised you. Are there really nothing between you two? You've really caught the board's eye now."
Upon hearing this confirmed news, Ling Xia ignored Sister Zhao's question about her relationship with Lin Tingshen and calmly replied, "I understand, Sister Zhao."
Sister Zhao, who hadn't heard Ling Xia cheering on the other end of the phone, asked in surprise, though I didn't ask, "Why aren't you excited?"
“I already had inside information before you made the call.”
"Act well, okay? I'll pick you up in a few days, and we'll go backstage for the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals."
"Okay, Director Zhang specially granted me leave and gave me a task: to make the theme song a hit first, and then make the TV series a huge success," Ling Xia said helplessly.
With the Spring Festival Gala approaching.
A lot of speculation about the Spring Festival Gala program and performers has started to appear online.
Most of the regulars on the Spring Festival Gala and the popular artists this year were within their guesses.
Ling Xia is not included in these lists.
……
Time flies by quickly.
Finally, with only one week left until the Spring Festival Gala, Ling Xia had her first rehearsal.
Ling Xia appeared at the headquarters of the official television station wearing a mask.
Not long after, a call came to Ling Xia's cell phone. When she picked it up, she saw that it was from the assistant director's assistant.
"Ms. Ling, have you arrived yet?"
"We've arrived. Have I already entered the TV station?"
"That's right. According to the Spring Festival Gala program list, your song 'The Lone Warrior' is scheduled to be the 15th performance. Rehearsals have already begun. Please come to the studio as soon as possible."
"Understood, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Xia jogged into the studio.
When Ling Xia arrived at the studio, they were rehearsing the fifth program, a skit.
The performers are two people, both comedians.
Ling Xia watched with great interest. As expected of a comedian, she brought the two characters to life with her vivid performance.
Many of the late-arriving performers, like Ling Xia, watched the two comedians perform from the audience.
As the actors rehearsed one by one took to the stage, Ling Xia also got her chance to perform.
It just started to catch my ear.
It's the dynamic sound of a guitar.
The melody is perfect.
"All……"
One word.
pause.
Just one word can gently tug at a person's heartstrings.
The audience waiting for rehearsals held their breath.
"They are brave."
The prelude gently tells its story.
"The wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made."
It persuades people to drop their perfect facade and reveal their true selves.
Why is loneliness not glorious?
"It is only human imperfections that are worthy of praise."
"Who says someone covered in mud isn't a hero..."
The chorus is coming!
In the blink of an eye, the key rises, surging towards the climax!
"I love you, even if I walk alone through dark alleys."
"I love the way you refuse to kneel."
"Loving you has confronted despair."
"He refused to cry."
Loud shouts echoed in the studio.
The battle song began, and the drums thundered.
"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!"
The performers in the audience were moved by the intense emotions they felt.
The song "Walking Alone" dominated major music websites as soon as it appeared on Earth.
It has become a must-sing song for elementary school students and has become popular beyond its original circle.
During the second chorus, Ling Xia raised her pitch again.
It tells the legend of the hero with firmness and strength.
Until Ling Xia stepped down from the stage.
The audience was still in a daze.
Still immersed in this beautiful song.
Then came thunderous applause.
Ling Xia also finished her first rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.
