Time flies, and it is already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.︽∝

Although the annual Lantern Festival is not as lively as the Spring Festival, it also has a unique flavor. Especially this year's Lantern Festival Gala, it attracts special attention because of the particularity of the Spring Festival Gala.

Originally, if Chu Yang hadn't joined, this Spring Festival Gala might have become a session with many complaints and more criticisms than praise, just like many previous Spring Festival Galas. Since entering the Internet age, the Spring Festival Gala seems to have become such a routine.

However, due to Chu Yang's strong addition, whether it is Xiaoyan's dance "The Scenery of the City", or the ensemble "The Heart of the Bright Water", or the refreshing, or even the "New Herdsman's New Song" played by bamboo flute, it has become an indelible classic in this Spring Festival Gala!

Not to mention Chu Yang's song "My Motherland", which is hung on CCTV's website. The long row of netizens' messages below can be regarded as one of the hottest programs on the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, the discussion about this program has long exceeded the program itself, so although this program is popular, it has also become the most controversial program.

The controversy itself is not the technique of Chu Yang's performance. From the technical perspective alone, Chu Yang can be said to have completely conquered those piano fans. The flowing performance makes people enjoy the eyes and enjoy both vision and hearing!

Many netizens even joked that they didn't have to watch "a big wave of emoticons" by Klang. Although Chu Yang's performance was full of emotion, his expression was not exaggerated. He just showed it in moderation with the emotions of the music. This made most people feel very comfortable to watch and could not find any problems.

In contrast, when Chen Lang collaborated with two other artists on "Sheng Sheng Slow", the classic emoticon packages still became an important complaint for the audience. However, whether it is scolding or praising, this has become Chen Lang's classic style, so he naturally won't change anything because of this.

The focus of discussion among netizens comes from a reply from an old man who claimed to be a "fielder".

That's what he said.

"Okay, very good! This song made me feel the prosperity and beauty of the great motherland. It sounds like drinking fine wine, I can't stop, so I'll give you a hundred praises!"

As a result, the following post was quickly returned to the "500 Cent Party upstairs, the appraisal was completed."

Then the netizen named "Fansheweng" felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and immediately replied: "First solemnly declare that I am not a 50 cent party, and secondly. I am an old party member with 58 years of party membership. Good is good. I just said what I think!"

However, this reply attracted more sarcasm from netizens.

"Oh, I'm still an old party member. No wonder I like it so happily, haha."

"That's right, I heard the saying "The prosperity and beauty of the great motherland". I was almost vomiting."

"On the first floor, I move bricks on the construction site every day. I buy more than 1,000 yuan a month, and work for fourteen hours a day, and I am so tired. By the end of the year, the boss has not paid me a salary. Why can't I understand where the prosperity and beauty you mentioned?"

"Hehe, buddy upstairs, you still have more than a thousand yuan to get. I'm in trouble. I set up a small stall to sell some fruits and get checked by the urban management every day. Oh, life is not easy."

"Don't cry, you all have a poor baby. I have been working in the township office for 27 years. I am still a clerk. I have a salary of less than 2,000 yuan a month. I have eighty mothers to take care of and two children to support me. Who am I going to cry with?"

"The business apes upstairs should not be involved here. Who doesn't know that you are so idle every day, a newspaper and a cup of tea, a computer is on and off, and the day has passed, haha? I want to give me a thousand jobs and do it!"

"Yes, Comrade Guanfu Yuan, you actually have two children. Is this considered a violation of the national family planning policy? Hehe, be careful that there are water checkers at night!"

...

A simple piano piece has triggered a big discussion among netizens, and the cause is just a message reply. As a result, this piece has become the most controversial work of the Spring Festival Gala.

But no matter what, Chu Yang became popular. Whether it was because of his position or the controversy caused by this song, he became the most controversial actor in this Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, he was on stage twice alone, which is extremely rare on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala!

At 8 p.m., accompanied by a festive opening music, the Lantern Festival Gala, which was decorated with joy, officially kicked off!

First, a group of celebrity artists sang on the stage, and a classic song was skewed, which made the venue warm up first.

Then, several hosts led by Lao Bi appeared in costumes and officially opened the curtain of the Lantern Festival Gala.

The Lantern Festival Gala was once teased as the "Resurrection Competition of the Spring Festival Gala", which is quite appropriate. Because of the capacity of the Spring Festival Gala, it is definitely impossible to bring all the good programs in more than four hours. What should I do if I didn't choose some excellent programs? This requires the Lantern Festival Gala to make up for it. So when I was watching the Lantern Festival Gala in the past, I often found that the host said: "This program is also very good, but due to xx reasons, I regret not being on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. But it doesn't matter. Today, let us enjoy this program through the Lantern Festival Gala stage."

The Lantern Festival Gala also has one task, that is, the Spring Festival Gala "My Favorite Program" selection and award ceremony. For artists, although this honor is not so professional, it represents the recognition of the audience and is also quite important.

The four hosts appeared. After talking nonsense about the topic of Lantern Festival and Tangyuan and saying some auspicious words, they collectively left the stage, leaving only Lao Bi to start the report.

A sketch, a piece of singing and dancing, and two programs, the Spring Festival Gala began the first round of the "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Program" award ceremony. The first announcement was the list of winners who won the third prize. It should be noted that CCTV's selection was divided into three categories, namely "singing and dancing", "language" and "audio acrobatics". Because the audience is different, if the three types of programs are mixed together, it is obviously unfair to select. The mass base of singing and dancing and language categories is the broadest. In contrast, opera acrobatics and other things are weaker. If they are placed together, there is probably nothing to do with opera.

There are many programs that have won the third prize, including a song singing and a duet of a popular idol group, and a cross-dressing group, all won the awards, and there are more programs in the language category. This year's Spring Festival Gala. Language programs are the most, so more selected ones. In the end, six programs including the crosstalk "Talking about the New Year" and the sketch "New Year" were shortlisted for this award.

The winners went on stage to receive the award, and it was obvious that they looked quite happy. Although the third prize was not very good, being able to perform on this stage was a success, and having a prize to win, which was considered a joyful and happy!

After a few more shows, the second round of awards also began. This time, both the actors and the audience seemed to be much more focused.

Because the second prize is not as wide as the previous third prize, generally one type can only be selected for two or three. The key is that those who can get to this point are those who are confident in competing for the first prize, so the mood of these people can be said to be very complicated at the moment. They hope to hear their names from the host, and they also hope that the host will not read them. Because that means that it is possible to enter the last first prize!

Chen Lang sat on the sofa at home, watching the Lantern Festival Gala with his family, waiting for the award results. After the New Year, he had no performance tasks, so he simply returned to his hometown in Chenbei and spent the New Year happily with his family.

Chen Lang went home. It can be said that it alarmed the entire Shenbei City. During this Spring Festival, he did not have much peace. He participated in several evening parties in his hometown. After all, he was from his hometown. He was embarrassed to refuse. Fortunately, for him, acting in a program would not cost anything, just playing a short period on stage. Now, as long as he appears, it means ratings, and no matter what he plays, he will receive warm applause. After all, his fame is there.

"Son, I heard that at this evening party, some director also played a piano? It is said online that he is challenging you. Is there anything wrong with this?" Chen Lang's father suddenly asked, looking at the TV.

Chen Lang's father is an old teacher. He has been teaching music in his hometown. He plays the erhu well. But in order to help Chen Lang learn the piano, he quit his job without hesitation and accompanied him to Yanjing to study. Later, he went to the United States to study. After this round, he almost spent all his savings at home. Fortunately, now, he finally has the hard work and the joys of his life have come. Chen Lang can achieve what he has done today, and everything he has done before has been rewarded.

"Dad, don't listen to them talking nonsense. What challenges are not? This is the Spring Festival Gala, not a professional piano competition. Those people are following them to make fun of each other." Chen Lang said with some amusement after hearing his father's words.

But in his heart, he didn't think so.

Others don’t know how valuable Chu Yang’s song “My Motherland” is, but he is not vague at all. If you don’t talk about others, just talk about him. His hard work has been hard for outsiders to imagine. Not to mention the teacher’s understanding and recognition in the first few years in Yanjing, how painful he was, he was almost forced to jump off the building. Later, when he studied at the Curtis Conservatory of Music in the United States, he had almost never visited the streets of the United States for four years, and spent day and night in the piano room. Even so, he became famous in one fell swoop because of the dramatic "replacement".

It was at the star concert of the Lavenja Music Festival in Chicago. Chen Lang dramatically replaced Andrew Watz, who was unwell, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who performed Tchaikovsky's "The First Piano Concerto", conducted by the famous conductor Esenbach. Before the opening, the famous art master Stern introduced Chen Lang to the audience: "You will hear the most wonderful sounds in the world from this young Chinese boy." Sure enough, when the last note was finished, the audience stood up and cheered, and the applause was endless. This successful temporary replacement performance was highly praised by the Chicago Tribune, one of the three major American newspapers, and praised "Chen Lang is the greatest and most exciting piano genius in the world."

Until now, when recalling this experience, Chen Lang is still very excited.

However, after watching Chu Yang's "My Motherland", he became a little silent.

How old is Chu Yang this year? He just turned 20 years old.

What was he doing when he was twenty years old? Chen Lang remembered that he was in the piano room of the Central Conservatory of Music at that time, competing with Bach's creative songs.

After watching Chu Yang's performance, Chen Lang asked himself that when Chu Yang was so old, he was not as good as him!

But this is just an ordinary piano piece adapted from a song. If Chen Lang is asked to play it at this moment, it may not be possible to play it like this.

In fact, he was not convinced. He also felt that he wanted to compete after seeing the master.

That's why he called Chu Yang from the air through the Internet and invited him to participate in the "Chopin Cup" International Piano Competition held in Poland in June this year. This competition is known as the "Olympic" in the piano industry and is as famous as the "Liszt" Cup. Chen Lang believes that it is the real battlefield for him and Chu Yang. It just depends on whether he dares to go!

On TV, the special guest was reading the results. The dance "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" won the second prize in the singing and dancing category!

Hearing this show, Chen Lang nodded sincerely. He also watched the show. It was indeed very stunning and wonderful. Especially with several dance moves inside, it even caused a lot of controversy. Chen Lang remembered that under the effect of the smoke on the stage, the dancers had a sliding movement in the air. Many people said they had been hanging on the wire at that time, but some people said that they didn't. Then another group of people immediately said that it was impossible. With the power of humans, it was impossible to stay in the air for so long, because of this incident, a group of technical freaks were analyzing there.

But no matter what, this dance deserves the second place. Chen Lang even felt that the second place was low. In his opinion, there was no problem with winning the first place in this show.

Immediately afterwards, the host announced the second award-winning program. This time it was "Bi Shui Zen Heart" played by Chu Yang and Grace. Seeing that this program got second place, Chen Lang couldn't help but feel relaxed. Because in his opinion, this was the most likely program to compete with him for the first place. When he heard this song "Bi Shui Zen Sound" on the spot, he still remembered the shocking feeling. That was completely a measure of the baptism of the soul!

If this song won the first place, Chen Lang was convinced. Because from an artistic point of view, this song "Bi Shui Zen Heart" has reached an impeccable perfection in terms of intention, arrangement or the performance of the two performers!

In contrast, although "Once Upon a Time" is also a very artistic work and it hits some current social problems. It can be said that it is quite outstanding, but it is still a little worse than "Bi Shui Zen Heart".

To put it bluntly, "Shengsheng Slow" can be regarded as a masterpiece at most, but "Bi Shui Zen Heart" can be regarded as a "magical work"!

The moment when Brigitte, wearing green clothes, came on stage to receive the award, there was a burst of warm applause from the stage. Chen Lang couldn't help but sigh that the power of the beauty was too great.

Even his father couldn't help but sigh when he saw this girl, "This actor is so beautiful! By the way, son, does she have a partner?"

Hearing his father's words, Chen Lang immediately laughed and shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm not familiar with her, how do you know if she has a partner?"

"You can understand slowly if you are not familiar with it. You are all art-related and have a common language. You are not young anymore, so it's time to consider getting married. Oh, if I have such a daughter-in-law, I'll wake up in my dreams."

Seeing that his father was becoming more and more unreliable, Chen Lang simply ignored him and focused on watching TV.

Finally, in his expectation, the host read out the list of winners of the third second prize in the singing and dancing category.

The song "Once Upon a Time"!

There was warm applause from the stage, but at the same time, Chen Lang's eyes also darkened.

Is it still the same? Chen Lang sighed and thought with some loss.

Although he had long thought of the possible result, he still felt a little disappointed when he actually appeared in front of him.

It is better to say that it is disappointment, because in Chen Lang's opinion, the show has never compared Chu Yang, not because of his level, but because of this song, it is that there is no chance to play at all.

He believed that if he reached the stage of a real piano competition, he would definitely let Chu Yang see his true strength!

Chen Huan came on stage to receive the award. He smiled happily. Chen Lang really admired his freedom and freedom. As a big brother-in-law who has been in the Chinese music scene for decades, he deserves the first place in his program and no one will say anything. But now, he has only won the second place.

When he arrived here, there was no suspense. Chen Lang didn’t have to guess that the first program must be Chu Yang’s piano solo “My Motherland”, because there were not many excellent programs left, and secondly, he had a premonition that this program looked like the first place!

Why? Select materials!

Speaking of this, he was a little helpless. The Spring Festival Gala is actually not so political, but the problem is that Chu Yang's program is too successful in terms of intention and adaptation. At this time, the selection of materials will give him points, promote the main theme and stimulate positive energy. If such a program has a good appearance, it is really hard to win the championship!
Chapter completed!
