A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 266 The Final Victory: Art Completed!

The drumbeats were as tight as rain.

The lion dance troupe danced freely on the plum blossom poles.

Everyone was performing according to the pre-designed route, creating a grand "lion fighting picture" from point to surface!
"Oh my God!"

"It's so lively!"

The audience was deeply moved.

Even if there's only one lion, such a lion dance performance will still attract a crowd of onlookers.

And now there is a group.

These lion dancers moved with abandon on the plum blossom poles.

They are agile and have a variety of expressions; they can express different postures by opening and closing their mouths and eyes.

It deserves applause and praise.

This is the second phase of the performance.

The atmosphere was building to a fever pitch.

People's attention was completely drawn to the performance, and their bodies were constantly releasing dopamine, a hormone associated with happiness.

Just then, the drumming suddenly stopped.

As soon as the drumming stopped, all the lion dances also stopped.

But before everyone could catch their breath, a stirring background music suddenly started playing.

At first, it was the sound of a drum kit and other instruments.

Many people felt it was familiar, but couldn't immediately identify the song.

Until the song begins to play.

"Arrogant laughter amidst a thousand waves"

"Hot-blooded passion surpasses even the red sun."

"Courage as strong as iron, bones as solid as refined steel"

A heart as vast as a hundred thousand feet high

"A long-term vision"

As the music started, the lion dancers began to move again.

At this point, the Northern style lion dance was the first to begin.

All I could see was the Northern-style lion dance troupe rushing from the ground toward the four-story wooden frame. Their movements were incredibly graceful and elegant, truly resembling those of a lion.

The lion dancers nimbly leaped onto the first wooden frame and began to fight.

While both performances involve fighting, the atmosphere of the Northern Lion Dance is noticeably more serious.

Other lion dancers were also moving, circling the wooden frame, some even putting their front legs on the frame as if trying to climb up.

Several lion dancers on the plum blossom poles also rushed towards the wooden frame.

Everyone could see that the lion dancers were competing and fighting.

"They want to take the embroidered ball from that shelf!"

"My God, isn't this a scene from a movie?"

"Which lion dance is the main character?!"

"Could Brother Qi be hiding inside?"

"Oh my god, this music, this scene, I'm getting goosebumps!"

The tourists at the scene were completely shocked.

Watching a group of lion dancers move their bodies and climb one after another towards the highest point of the wooden frame, everyone was really worried for the lion dancers.

In fact, these steps were all rehearsed.

The specific lion dances – which ones will be on the ground to create atmosphere, which ones will be on the first floor, which ones on the second floor, and which ones on the third floor – have all been planned out.

So it's very safe.

"Go forth and forge a new path for my ideals."

"Looking at the towering blue waves and the vast blue sky, one's spirit soars."

"Hold your heads high and stand tall, let's all be pillars of society and heroes!"

"Use my hundred points of heat to shine a thousand points of light"

The rousing singing continued.

The lion dance troupes' battles have become increasingly "intense".

Everyone enjoyed the performance.

The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded 50.
Viewers who saw the scene through the live stream were truly shocked.

Is this an event at Qingfeng Mountain? Are you sure it's not a movie shoot?

[It's spectacular!]

[The lion dance teams we hired are all professional, and they are all skilled artisans, which is why we achieved such a great effect!]

[Brother Qi, why did you suddenly do something so big? You seem a bit unfamiliar to me!]

This is absolutely amazing! Let's make a movie out of it!

The barrage of comments scrolled by incredibly fast, never stopping.

Today's performance is undoubtedly a shoo-in for trending topics; the only question is how big a sensation it will cause.

The lion dance continues.

The atmosphere was very intense.

Finally, several lion dancers arrived at the third level and all wanted to climb to the fourth level, but each time they were blocked by the other lion dancers.

A three-tiered shelf is already quite tall.

Performing a lion dance at such a high place is extremely difficult.

However, the lion dance troupes that can come here are all top-notch martial arts groups.

Northern Lion Dance inheritor, Olympic Lion Dance performance team, intangible cultural heritage inheritor...
They had already honed their skills on plum blossom stakes and wooden frames.

This stage was very meaningful to them.

The scene was packed with people, and the lion dance culture was able to be promoted and carried forward.

Therefore, they all tried their best to perform at their best.

Just then, the two lion dancers simultaneously jumped onto the fourth wooden frame.

This wooden shelf is not much bigger than the wooden table in a hotel private room.

It's just big enough to accommodate two lion dancers.

These two lion dancers, one is entirely red with white stripes, and the outline of its eyes is also white and fluffy, making it cute and endearing.

The other one is entirely yellow, with a more ferocious and majestic lion head. Its overall movements are more like those of a lion, and its dance exudes a sense of dominance.

One is a Southern lion, and the other is a Northern lion. One comes from the Olympic lion dance performance team, and the other comes from the Northern Lion Heritage Representative Art Troupe.

Two lions are dancing and fighting each other at the highest point.

At this moment, the intangible cultural heritage artisans in the very center of the venue, as well as the people from the Ministry of Culture, were all utterly shocked by what they saw.

"It's a Southern Lion and a Northern Lion! This scene is so beautiful!"

"Who would have thought that Southern Lions and Northern Lions would appear together on such a occasion!"

"This is real art!"

"This is absolutely the pinnacle of lion dance culture!"

Everyone was amazed.

This scene has a high artistic merit.

It's at least four layers high, made of wood.

The two lion dance cultures are vividly displayed.

The entire internet is applauding it.

Of course, there are also many netizens who enjoy themselves and don't care about art at all.

Some people will send comments to liven up the atmosphere:
Stop fighting! Please stop fighting!

Let's have a dance-off!

Two lion dancers on the scaffold began trying to snatch the embroidered ball.

However, they raised their front paws and tried several times, but their mouths couldn't reach the embroidered ball.

This is part of the performance.

Upon seeing this, the audience exclaimed in surprise:
"They won't be able to touch the embroidered ball!"

"Is the hydrangea hung too high?"

"What should we do? We've been fighting for ages and still can't win the embroidered ball!"

"I'm so nervous! Who can get it?"

The lion dance troupe is still dancing.

At this moment, all that could be seen were two lion dancers facing each other, blinking their eyes, as if they were communicating with each other.

Then, the Northern Lion suddenly took a step forward and lowered its body.

The southern lion seemed to realize something, blinked, took a step forward, then a step back, showing curiosity and disbelief.

Finally, the southern lion walked forward, stepped onto the northern lion's shoulders, and leaped up again!
Everyone's eyes were on him.

All we saw was the Southern Lion leap up and precisely bite the colorful embroidered ball.

At the same time, a burst of rousing suona music suddenly appeared from nowhere, loud and exceptionally inspiring.

At this moment, art has been created.

"It's got it!"

"Oh my god, it worked!"

"What a fantastic performance!"

"This is amazing! They must have put so much thought and effort into it!"

"Today was truly worthwhile!"

The audience cheered.

At this moment, viewers in the live stream noticed that the person playing the suona was in the lower left corner of the live stream screen.

Upon closer inspection, isn't that the streamer in the live broadcast room?
Is that Qi Ge playing the suona?

No, I knew where I was hiding it! Turns out it was right here!

Wow, I thought he was a lion dancer, turns out he joined a band!

Does anyone doubt that he can also play the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument)?

The way the big boss makes his entrance is truly unexpected!

The comments section immediately started scrolling.

Right now, on the performance stage.

The Southern Lion received the embroidered ball, but did not do anything immediately.

Instead, she shook her head a few times and then tossed the embroidered ball out.

All we saw was the embroidered ball arcing through the air before being caught precisely by the Northern Lion.

Since it's a performance, it must showcase the theme of a happy ending.

If this were a movie, the ending would probably be that the protagonist wins and the villain gets kicked off the scaffold.

Two lion dancers playing with an embroidered ball brought the performance to a perfect close.

Next comes the closing segment of the program.

The lion dancers then dispersed to greet the tourists.

The lion dancers on the wooden frame came down and began to dance.

After the initial chaos subsided, the lion dancers regrouped and lined up, striking poses in place.

With the final drumbeat, everyone did their best to showcase themselves.

Finally, when the drumbeats stopped, all the lion dancers froze in one pose.

The performance has now ended.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the surrounding crowd, who cheered loudly.

The applause was extremely loud.

Each tourist wore a look of lingering excitement.

This was a performance worthy of being recorded!
At this moment, Qi Yue, sitting in the band, breathed a sigh of relief.

To avoid social engagements, he said he was going to perform.

Playing the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) also counts as participating.

The event was a great success, even better than he had imagined.

There's another match tomorrow.

After a successful performance, the competition for the title of "Hundred Lions" came to a close.

All the hard work over this period of time has paid off, but Qi Yue doesn't know how much of a sensation the performance will cause.

But he knew it must be quite large.
