Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 286 A Stunning Performance at the Spring Festival Gala! Background Appears?
What do these two girls think of director Tang Wen?

Li Youbin, He Zhengjun, Zhang Guangbei, and other veteran actors exchanged glances, said nothing, and tacitly began to drink.

Zeng Li explained, "I met him once before, and he said he wanted to create a song that incorporated traditional opera elements. I told you that, but you didn't believe me."

Is that so?

Hu Jing frowned: It seems that's true.

That damn guy!

They don't even say a word to themselves!
Hu Jing felt a pang of sadness.

hum~
Mobile phone vibration.

She glanced down and saw it was a text message from Tang Wen. A smile immediately appeared on her lips as she complained, seemingly unintentionally, "This guy still has time to text backstage at the Spring Festival Gala."

[Tang Wen: There's another poem coming up later]

"What does 'the other one' mean?" Zeng Li leaned over to look at his text message, her mind filled with complicated feelings, and guessed, "Is there another song in the style of traditional opera?"

The two exchanged a glance, then looked away, their hearts filled with anticipation.

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala.

Tang Wen changed into jeans and a denim jacket.

To sing rock, you need to have a bit of a wild and unrestrained vibe.

"How many times have I fallen on the road?
How many times have I broken my wings
......"

"so hot!"

The girls watching TV expressed their feelings.

The charm of a 93-point appearance is truly unparalleled.

Only a few famous handsome men can reach this level during their peak.

For example, Jiao Enjun during the Erlang Shen era, and Louis Koo during the Condor Heroes era.

They rely on makeup and styling.

But Tang Wen was different.

Before going on stage today, besides the makeup artist giving my hair a couple of quick styling touches, I also applied some of Wang Zuxian's skincare products because I was worried about the dry weather.

Makeup is used to conceal blemishes and brighten the complexion.

Tang Wen has absolutely no need for it.

Just like Xie Tingfeng when he was eighteen or nineteen, all he needed to do before going on stage was wash his face with water.

The chorus of "Blooming Life" comes very quickly; the third line is:
I want a life in full bloom.

like flying in the vast sky

like walking in the endless wilderness
"Possessing the power to break free from everything..."

"This song is so powerful! How about making it our class song?"

The young students watched the Spring Festival Gala while chatting with their classmates in a QQ group.

Choosing a class song has only recently become popular on campuses.

I usually choose some positive and uplifting music.

Tang Wen's "Running" and "Blue Lotus" are often the students' first choice.

Rock music is relatively rare on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

After he finished singing, he returned backstage feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Because the previous performance of "Red-Clad Singer" was so stunning.

This resulted in the book, "Blooming Life," which was originally quite good, having a mediocre effect.

"Wen Di is awesome!"

"Singing so well!"

Wang Zuxian and Li Xiaoran provided plenty of emotional value backstage.

But they were blindly praising him. Tang Wen estimated that if he went on stage and did a "nothing special rap," they would still think it was good.

Not long after, Wang Zuxian went on stage to sing.

She was just recording, and she managed to get by by simply lip-syncing.

Back home, feeling relieved, I asked, "Will I be bothering you? Should I go home and wait for you?"

The feeling is completely different after singing versus before.

Most actors and singers only get to know each other before the Spring Festival Gala.

After finishing their performance, they either leave in a hurry or obediently return to their rooms to stay without disturbing the actors who are not performing.

Tang Wen didn't care at all; his mindset was as steady as an old dog.

But as the performance time approached, Li Xiaoran felt the pressure mounting. She had just suggested to Tang Wen that they should go to the dance studio for one last practice session.

"Alright, Xiaoran and I will go practice our positioning again."

"Xiaoran, don't be nervous. You've practiced for so long, you'll be fine," Wang Zuxian encouraged.

"I'm still afraid of forgetting the moves," Li Xiaoran said with a wry smile.

The three of them went out together. Tang Wen took Li Xiaoran to the practice room, while Wang Zuxian went home first.

When the two returned from the practice room, Zhao Benshan's "Heart Disease" was playing on TV.

Tang Wen had seen this skit many times and thought it was pretty good, but it was a level below Lao Zhao's other classics.

If it weren't for the profound skills of the three of them, such a good effect wouldn't have been achieved.

Li Xiaoran, on the other hand, laughed heartily while watching, which relieved her tension considerably.

For so many years, the audience has been waiting for Zhao Benshan to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

After his performance, as the Spring Festival Gala nears its end, viewership often begins to decline.

But this year seems different; many people, especially young people, are still sitting in front of the TV without changing the channel.

They are waiting for Tang Wen's song.

[...Next, please welcome Tang Wen back to the stage to sing a brand new song, "The New Drunken Concubine"]

Tang Wen, dressed in a black robe adorned with dragons and phoenixes, sat in an elevator and slowly rose from below the stage.

"I'm coming!"

Chen, Gao Yuanyuan, Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Tang Wei... those were names I had been looking forward to for a long time.

As the intro begins, white mist sprays from the stage.

As the white mist dissipated, Li Xiaoran, dressed in a Tang Dynasty imperial concubine attire, appeared on the stage.

After all, she's been an actress for several years.

After walking a few steps, she saw Tang Wen in front of her and felt a sense of security. She quickly adjusted her mood and began to perform in the style of a female role in traditional Chinese opera.

"Not professional at all," commented Zeng Li, a true leading actress from the far northwest.

Hmm, it tastes sour.

However, Hu Jing did not laugh at her. She looked at Li Xiaoran's chest and remained silent.

Although Zeng Li hadn't practiced martial arts for a long time, her eyesight remained sharp.

It's obvious at a glance that Li Xiaoran is all show and no substance, and a complete novice in traditional opera.

Hu Jing's eyes didn't leave the TV screen: "I'll help you talk to him later. He really has no taste, how could he not use our Pear, such a beautiful actress!"

"go with!"

The two women were exchanging barbs, and the prelude to "The New Drunken Concubine" had already set the tone for the song.

This is a Chinese-style song.

Thanks to the widespread popularity of Tang Wen's "Dong Feng Po" and "Jiang Nan", people have gained an understanding of traditional Chinese style songs.

Most people will find it pleasant to listen to and it aligns with the aesthetic preferences of most Chinese people.

That year, snowflakes fell and plum blossoms bloomed on the branches.

"Too much sorrow remained by Huaqing Pool that year."

As soon as the words were spoken, many people on and off stage nodded in approval.

Liu Huan, who had already returned home, exclaimed to his family, "Anything made by Tang Wen is bound to be a masterpiece!"

Backstage, Tian Zhen was full of praise: "Director Tang's creative level is unmatched by many in China."

Jay Chou, who doesn't usually watch the Spring Festival Gala, specially tuned in to listen to Tang Wen's song: "A Quite Different Feeling."

Half a minute passed.

The lyrics made it clear to everyone.

No wonder it's called "The New Drunken Concubine"—Tang Wen's lyrics are all written from the perspective of the concubine.

The strings became more compact.

Viewers noticed that Tang Wenqi was starting to show his style.

A grown man, actually raised his pinky finger in a delicate, feminine manner.

Li Xiaoran, who plays Yang Guifei, walks further and further away on the stage, eventually circling behind him.

Tang Wen turned his back to the audience, waited for the rhythm to begin, and then suddenly turned around:
Love and hate can be separated in an instant.
"Raising a cup to the moon, our feelings are as vast as the sky."

this--

Is it Tang Wen who sings it?
A clear, high-pitched yet poignant female voice resounded throughout the stage.

Love and hate are both lost.
When will you fall in love?

……

"Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty"

The powerful and explosive vocals immediately captivated everyone's ears.

"Old Tang has this trick up his sleeve?!" The princess pushed the mahjong tiles aside: "I'm done playing, I'm done playing, let's listen to some music first! Turn it up!"

The singers who followed the Spring Festival Gala were equally surprised, feeling as if a brand new door to pop music was slowly being pushed open before their eyes. This is not an exaggeration.

As opera singing gradually gained popularity in later generations, a number of excellent opera-style songs emerged.

The difficulty in creation lies not in following or imitating, but in innovation.

As for the audience, they felt the wait was worthwhile.

In short—stunning!
Just as stunning as "Red Dress"!
The combination of Chinese style and opera singing was presented to the world for the first time.

It left a deep impression on all the viewers tonight.

Some young people couldn't contain their excitement and logged onto Renren.com to Tang Wen's personal page, ready to leave a message.

I found quite a few new posts, all discussing the songs played tonight.

[The film "Red Dress" is fantastic; there must be a story behind it.]

Tang Wen's female opera-style vocals are even more stunning, right?

This year's Spring Festival Gala was of very high quality!

[After a year without releasing a song, his next release is a bombshell.]

[Upstairs, what you're saying makes it sound like he's been preparing for his new song for a year.]

Yes, and don't forget, he also made a billion this year.

[He said that the 1 billion figure was far from his actual income.]

【…】

After performing "The New Drunken Concubine," Tang Wen's Spring Festival Gala schedule for this year came to a complete end.

Before the subsequent chorus of "Unforgettable Tonight" could begin, he left the backstage area with Li Xiaoran.

Click!

Just as I was about to get into the car, a flash of light went off in the distance.

Tang Wen: "...That's dedicated enough, waiting for me here on New Year's Eve?"

"Director Tang, would you like to?"

"Forget it, let them be and let them have a good New Year."

Because of the distance and the fact that it was nighttime, Tang Wen and Li Xiaoran got on the bus normally without hugging or cuddling.

They can't fabricate any big news, and even if they do, it doesn't matter.

Tang Wen doesn't care about rumors, as long as it's not a woman he doesn't know trying to ride on his fame.

With the outside temperature nearing minus ten degrees Celsius, Li Xiaoran, dressed in a costume from a period drama, shivered as she boarded the carriage.

Tang Wen hugged the person tightly, feeling a pang of tenderness.

The driver turned on the heater in advance.

It wasn't cold inside the car.

"Are you following?"

"No."

"Know the rules." Tang Wen nodded and casually pressed the partition in the car to separate the front and back.

Li Xiaoran gently punched his chest: "I knew you didn't have good intentions when you made me wear the costume."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

"Pah!" Li Xiaoran glared at him, her eyes brimming with seductive charm: "If I were a concubine, I would let you come to the palace to serve me."

"How vicious! How will you serve me in the palace? Let me serve you now..." Tang Wen reclined the chair and grasped the tense Xuezi.

Li Xiaoran's first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala made her whole family very excited and proud. They were all waiting for her to return home, which prevented her from having a secret rendezvous with Tang Wen.

I can only satisfy my craving by turning into a cat in the car.

On New Year's Eve, the streets of Beijing were deserted, with hardly any cars.

After spending nearly an hour downstairs at Li Xiaoran's house, Tang Wen set off again and returned to Wang Zuxian's villa.

The huge LCD TV in the living room was playing a rebroadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.

Four side dishes were laid out on the table, and the water in the induction cooker was boiling.

Next to it are raw dumplings ready to be cooked.

The woman was asleep on the sofa, wearing pajamas and covered with a blanket.

"You're back? Are you hungry?"

Wang Zuxian, who was awakened, did not ask Tang Wen why he came back so late.

They just offered words of comfort and concern.

She patted his head affectionately, then washed her hands and started cooking dumplings.

"Happy New Year, Wendi."

"Happy New Year"

The two raised their glasses.

Whoosh—snap
In the villa area, someone secretly set off fireworks.

Reflected in Wang Zuxian's dark, bright eyes, it was exceptionally captivating.

The heartwarming scene lasted for no more than ten minutes.

Tang Wen moved to Wang Zuxian's sofa and hugged her.

How can you eat it like this?

"You feed me now."

The older sister sighed helplessly: "He's truly a jinx in my life."

Nothing happened the next day.

Tonight, of course, I'll listen to music.

In the bedroom, Wang Zuxian was so full that she begged to go to sleep.

Tang Wen wasn't going to let her off the hook: "Want to sleep? It's simple, Sister Xian. In the next five minutes, as long as you can sing a complete line of lyrics, I'll let you sleep."

Wang Zuxian froze for a moment, and the next second, she involuntarily raised her snow-white chin.

Sleeping is impossible...

A night of madness.

The following evening, when Tang Wen left the villa, Sister Xiaoqian was still fast asleep.

After a day of development, almost all major entertainment news outlets were reporting on the Spring Festival Gala.

At least half of the content inevitably involves the name "Tang Wen".

One gala, two hit songs: Tang Wen's stunning performance once again.

Tang Wen's performance at the first and final midnight countdown was just as impressive as Zhao Benshan's.

"..."

Renren.com is Tang Wen's home base, where fans and admirers gather and praise him to the skies.

The patriotism in "The Red-Haired Girl";

"Blooming Life" is a rock song, and in the current climate where rock music is declining, Tang Wen can be regarded as a standard-bearer of rock.

"The New Drunken Concubine" is a clever combination, promoting traditional Chinese culture while also featuring amazing singing!
The media knows what the audience wants to see and they also praise it.

For a time, Tang Wen was the most popular man in the world.

Wang Fei, Liu Huan, and other friends in the music industry also repeatedly praised the performance when interviewed by reporters.

Zhang Yadong: "That's right, they are all songs from Tang Wen's new album. The album will be officially released on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It's his previous style, and every song is a masterpiece! If there's anything wrong with it, don't hold back, just go online and criticize me."

As a producer, he has a lot of confidence.

Fans who have been waiting for a long time have heard the good news about the new album.

Why would you scold him?
He praised Zhang Yadong directly online, saying that he is definitely the number one producer in China.

He was the primary producer for Wang Fei's albums, Tang Wen's albums, and Wang Zuxian's albums!
The resume is simply outrageous.

Zhang Yadong didn't shy away from the fact that his work schedule is already booked for the next two years, and asked everyone not to contact him anymore.

He also casually recommended Teacher Sanbao and several producers he knew.

Li Xiaoran also benefited from this.

This year, the TV series "Pink Lady" was a hit, and she became a second-tier, almost first-tier, female star.

She was recognized for her dance performance at the Spring Festival Gala. The dance was decent, but her good figure and fair complexion made her stand out.

A high-resolution photo posted on Renren.com attracted a lot of fans to Li Dabai.

In the entertainment gossip section, an "insider" even revealed that she was Tang Wen's true love.

The whistleblower cited an example: the dance was not difficult, and Dong Xuan was a professional dancer, but Tang Wen did not bring her to the Spring Festival Gala, but instead brought Li Xiaoran.

Doesn't that explain the problem?
Entertainment news outlets have released photos.

After their performance at the Spring Festival Gala, Tang Wen and Li Xiaoran got into the same car and left together intimately!

You should know that Fan Bingbing and Wang Zuxian were on last night's Spring Festival Gala.

Tang Wen didn't leave with these two, isn't that solid proof?

The media and the public are discussing it enthusiastically.

Through the performance of "Red-Clad Ladies," many observant people, especially those with connections in the capital, noticed something else.

It seems that Director Tang is quite close to Jiangnan.

Is this considered a successful approach to the mountain?
They didn't even have time to ask around within the industry.

The second day of the new year.

Renren.com posted a message: "Tang Wen's investment project in Jiangnan Yuhang will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."
