Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 355 New Year's Eve Big Explosion
"And I will love the world you love."

May you have the smile you desire.

I'm holding your hand, albeit unsteadily.

Please take me to tomorrow.

This summer's sound pierced the clouds, and the stage lights blazed on instantly.

"Crash."

Exclamations and applause erupted uncontrollably from the audience—it's so beautiful, the lyrics of this song…awesome!
This is the shared thought of everyone who heard Jin Xia finish singing the first verse.

Before the audience could catch their breath, another warm golden spotlight shone on the other side of the stage.

Ikeno was dressed in a dark suit, his posture upright like a pine tree, his gaze firm yet gentle, like a beacon guarding the light.

His voice was mellow, warm, and powerful, firmly supporting the fleeting memories of this summer's emotions.

The first meeting of male and female voices was like a mountain spring flowing into a deep pool, the clear and warm blending together to create a wonderful harmony and tension.
If you've ever tasted bitterness, then my sweetness has been more precious.

I wish to live out your wish.

"May our efforts not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely!"

"This prosperous era, every single day"

"..."

The second verse of the verse is performed by Chiye solo:

You are the river of time.

"A Sky Ignited by Sparks"

"I am someone who looks up to you, so I will sing your praises."

The camera panned to the audience, where several elderly people with gray hair but robust physiques stood. At the round table closest to the center, a middle-aged man wearing glasses exclaimed in amazement, "The best Spring Festival Gala program of the year has been revealed!"

"..."

You are where I came from.

"This is also where my heart belongs."

"You will meet me on every path in this world."

"And I will love the world you love."

May you have the smile you desire.

I'm holding your hand, albeit unsteadily.

Please take me to tomorrow.

"Hurrah!"

"Holy crap, how did he write such words?!"

The audience members finally realized what was happening, but they were completely dumbfounded.

"As You Wish" is a love song, but it is not a love song.

This is what Jinzhao said to the old man before. At that time, he himself did not quite understand the meaning of these words, but now, he suddenly understands.

This is indeed a love song, but it is a "love song" dedicated to the motherland and to everyone.

The entire Jin family had fallen silent. Due to family circumstances, like Jin Xia, when they heard this song, everyone had a chilling, goosebump-ridden feeling.

Maybe it's not an illusion.

The old man's originally cloudy eyes brightened; he was listening to music, but not entirely.

As I wish... As I wish...

If you've ever tasted bitterness, then my sweetness has been more precious.

I wish to live out your wish.

"May our efforts not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely!"

"This prosperous era, every single day"

On stage, Chi Ye and Jin Xia began a harmonious duet, their voices blending perfectly. The woman's clear and melodious voice pierced the sky, while the man's deep and resonant voice moved people's hearts.

On the giant screen, a magnificent scroll of modern China unfolds.

High-speed trains traverse mountains and valleys, satellites soar through the sky, golden wheat fields ripple, and bustling cities are ablaze with lights like a galaxy. Countless ordinary people's smiling faces and moments of struggle flash and converge on the screen like stars.

"The mountains and rivers are safe and sound, and the smoke of daily life remains as normal as ever."

"But you got to gaze upon it as you wished."

"Sleep peacefully, children."

"Like you loved so deeply"

The scene, and the whole country, were in an uproar!

"Holy crap, Chino, yyds!"

Liu Xiaoxiao's younger brother jumped up, never before had he felt that a "red song" could be so beautiful, and that a "love song" could make him feel so passionate and instantly empathetic.

Liu Xiaoxiao, her boyfriend, and her parents listened in silence.

They are older and don't express their emotions as openly as Liu Xiaoxiao's younger brother, but even so, combined with the various scenes on the stage, they still have a sense of melancholy, regret, and pride about "a prosperous and fulfilling life".

"The prosperous era is as you wished"—and the wish has finally come true.

Ikeno and Jin Xia's voices separated again. Jin Xia's voice carried a gentle sense of relief, while Ikeno's voice was full of comforting power.

Chino:

"And I will dream the reunion you dream of."

May your wishes come true forever.

"Walk the long road you have walked."

"Loving you like this..."

This summer:

I will also see a world you have never seen.

"Write the poems you haven't written yet."

"The moon in the sky, the thoughts in my heart"

You will always be by my side.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles, a shared belief in protecting each other, and boundless anticipation for the future.

As the music fades, a magnificent and vibrant panorama of landscapes unfolds across the screen, accompanied by powerful and heartfelt vocals, as the final line is sung together:
"I promise to be with you for a lifetime of purity."

"Like your young face"

"..."

The curtain fell, the stage lights went out, and the room fell silent.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds later—

"Clap clap clap."

"Crash."

As is well known, the audience seating area is also the performance area for the Spring Festival Gala.

Therefore, many audience members were unable to make any vigorous movements, but the prolonged applause proved everything—everyone in the audience was excited, and even those who disagreed with something in their hearts could not remain unmoved in the face of this song.

Because this is the past, and even more so, the future.

This is a love letter, but more importantly, it is a belief.

"...Who said he couldn't write a second 'Blue and White Porcelain'?...Ikeno, you're really amazing."

In another corner, Zhu Yaolin looked lost and dejected. He and Chi Ye were rivals, and their teams were even at loggerheads because of the movie.

But no matter who it is, even Yue Na, at this moment, no one can deny Ikeno's talent and genius.

too strong.

No one has ever been able to do this before.

What level of songs are "Blue and White Porcelain" and "As You Wish"?
The former, "Great Harmony," directly launched a "cultural invasion" campaign, spreading ancient Chinese culture to every corner of the world and making blue and white porcelain the most profound impression of Chinese artists abroad.

From this perspective, "As You Wish" is far less "uniform" than "Blue and White Porcelain".

However, in terms of its theme, "As You Wish" can be said to have reached the pinnacle.

Unlike traditional "red songs," which, while inspiring, inevitably give some people a sense of "coercion," "As You Wish" tells a story that is history, something that actually happened, unrelated to any so-called political factors, but rather a expression of national sentiment.

A nation is its culture, and culture transcends everything, transcends nations, and transcends those petty and despicable things.

To put it bluntly, even the most indifferent person will feel something.

"...Being able to write songs is remarkable."

In the front row, in the seat of "Spring Festival Gala Queen" Sister Shi, Shi Jinwei withdrew her gaze. She did not want to admit that Jin Xia was better than her. In fact, even though Jin Xia had performed exceptionally well tonight, she had "skills" but more importantly, she had emotions.

However, even professionals like Sister Pliers still see many shortcomings.

Compared to actual singing ability, it's not even in the same league.

But... but she really sang very well.

Putting aside her "prejudice" against this summer, Shi Jinwei felt that this song was indeed a bit unbeatable. Chi Ye... Chi Ye is almost flawed all over, but he is really good at writing songs.

Ok…

Why doesn't he contact me?!
After a three-second silence, Pliers finally entered the part she least wanted to do: the moment of breaking down her defenses and feeling jealous.

First came Stevie Starr's "Stay With Me," and now this summer's "As You Wish."

Between these two songs, Ikeno was actually consciously playing the role of a "supporting role," but why... if Stevie can have it, why can't I?

Shi Jinwei felt confused. She felt that after this song, she might not be able to let go of the matter for a year.

……

"Huhuhu..."

Backstage, Jin Xia clutched her chest, but couldn't hide her wildly increasing heart rate.

"Teacher Chi...this is so exciting."

Chi Ye's performance was more than twice as good as this summer's, and he didn't even show any emotion. After all, he has performed on stage many times, and he even has experience performing "Blue and White Porcelain" on the Spring Festival Gala.

The Empress Dowager was indeed like a blank sheet of paper in this regard; even after the performance, she still felt an extreme sense of tension.

"You sang very well."

Ikeno affirmed, "He's ten times worse than me."

This summer: "Teacher Chi, did you think Grandpa was watching just now?"

Ikeno nodded: "Of course."

"...He should be very happy."

This summer, she lowered her head, feeling inexplicably lost: "Next year... I might not be able to join a production team so soon."

Chi Ye was startled.

But then he understood, and instead of joking with the Empress Dowager, he nodded and said, "Spend quality time with the old lady...until she passes away."

"...Teacher Chi, you won't blame me, will you?"

Chino said in surprise, "Why would I blame you for what you're saying?"

"...After all, you've been preparing projects for me and constantly being criticized online..."

This summer, she clutched the hem of her clothes, looking rather coy.

Ikeno glanced at her sideways, but didn't say anything.

"Humph."

Seeing that Chi Ye remained silent for a while, the old lady felt that she had not found out anything, so she raised her head and hummed twice: "Good performance, keep up the good work."

Ikeno: "Ima, it wouldn't be good if you kept testing me like this."

“You’re not happy if you actually find out something.”

"...Ugh, this is annoying. I'm going to call home. Do you want to come with me?"

Chino paused for a moment, then said frankly, "I'll go with you... We need to hurry, we have an interview with Channel 2 later."

"it is good."

……

at the same time.

At the Spring Festival Gala, the program was still going on, but after the bombshell performance of "As You Wish," the remaining programs seemed almost dispensable to the national audience.

Even those in the industry felt it was dispensable, and the four characters even felt uneasy about it – the same goes for Mahua Films and Yuena.

They seemed to have a premonition of something.

"As You Wish" appeared during the prime time of the Spring Festival Gala, even overshadowing the Shen-Ma duo.

What was the public opinion like before "As You Wish" was released?
In short, it's impossible for them to be too friendly to Chi Ye and Jin Xia. In many people's eyes, Jin Xia is like a "burden" to Chi Ye, because Chi Ye has given up too much because of this woman.

In the eyes of those in the industry, Jin Xia is Chi Ye's "God of War". With her around, anyone who tries to cross the line against Chi Ye will be ruthlessly suppressed.

Regardless, public opinion is terrible. This is a couple that has never been free of controversy or criticism, whether in the past or present.

They had been pushing and fanning the flames behind the scenes in order to seize this opportunity.

But now... will it still be effective?
No, whether it works or not is no longer important. What's important is... how much of a boost will "As You Wish" bring to Ikeno's next film?

Although this song has absolutely nothing to do with "The Martian,"... well, they're both works by Ikeno!
Moreover, it was the most explosive performance of this year's Spring Festival Gala—there's no doubt about it. Even though the Gala isn't over yet, everyone knows that no program this year can surpass "As You Wish".

Years later, "As You Wish" even made it into the list of best songs of all the Spring Festival Galas.

That's 100%, absolutely.

"This is bad."

On stage, the songs were bland and uninteresting; off stage, the Beijing elites were increasingly frustrated.

"Can I peek at my phone?"

Someone lowered their voice.

Director Feng frowned: "This table is so close to the front, don't talk like that!"

Everyone: "..."

"Hopefully it will be a little different from what we expected."

He spoke.

……

There is no discrepancy.

As midnight approaches, New Year's Eve is about to end and the new year is just around the corner.

On Weibo's trending topics, various trending topics about the Spring Festival Gala, various programs, and the heavyweight work "First Encounter with the Photo Studio" are still "dominating the scene".

The trending topic #AsYouWish Ikeno Jinxia# is like an unchanging "Emperor", dominating the entire hot search, the whole internet, and the whole country as soon as it appears.

The most commented and most popular comment is the Live 4K version of "As You Wish" just released by CCTV's official media.

The fans and passersby below went crazy.

"Ikeno, God!!!"

"I never imagined that a work of this caliber could appear on the Spring Festival Gala."

"Blue and White Porcelain is very good, but I absolutely love As I Wish."

"I was watching the Spring Festival Gala with my family. I was already hooked on 'First Encounter with the Photo Studio.' If my dad hadn't insisted on having it as background noise, I would have turned off the TV long ago. But I never expected to hear the song live. Suddenly, I felt the significance of the Spring Festival Gala."

"I got goosebumps the moment this song came out. Can anyone tell me who's trying to smear Jin Xia?"

"As expected of a five-time Golden Melody Award winner, Ikeno's songwriting, composition, and singing abilities are absolutely unparalleled. The lyrics for this song are something that his peers could never write in their next life."

"Suddenly I understand Chi Pan Xia Yu's point; who knows the true value of these two standing together?"

"If it's a love song like this, give me a dozen!"

"Ikeno is truly a synonym for all kinds of gaps in the Chinese entertainment industry. After becoming a fan of Ikeno, I realized that following celebrities can be so meaningful."

"..."

The release of "Stay With Me" has made the autistic Shih Daifu a top-tier female singer in Asia. In the current Chinese music scene, the top male singer is Chi Ye and the top female singer is Shih Daifu.

The appearance of "As You Wish" allowed the little drama queen to instantly shed all the old impressions and labels.

The filter for Cheon Song-yi is much higher than that for Shi Daifu before. This summer, she may not even realize that she has been passively "broke out of her comfort zone" by Ikeno, sweeping away the negative public opinion environment from before.

With the huge success of "As You Wish", her situation is slowly improving.

Yes, after New Year's Eve, "As You Wish" became a huge hit.
