Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 81: Appointing Prime Minister Li as the First Disciple of the Beautiful Shadow

"Our nation, with its vast territory, is governed by benevolence and love."

"A faith that has endured for a thousand years"

"The red sun rises in the east, its great road bathed in rosy light."

The song ends!

Zhang Liangying opened her arms and bowed solemnly.

After finishing the song, she felt the pressure on her body suddenly disappear, as if everything had vanished, leaving her feeling incredibly relaxed.

She looked in Shen Qing's direction and saw Shen Qing give her a thumbs up; Zhang Liangying's smile instantly blossomed.

The live broadcast captured this moment: after Zhang Liangying finished singing "Wanjiang," her smile inexplicably exuded elegance and poise.

Perhaps it's due to Liangying's mindset, but it's also undoubtedly due to the fans' favoritism.

Beside the stage.

Li Xiang and Wang Han stood next to Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang, stunned for several seconds before refusing to go on stage to host.

There was a gap in the live stream.

Zhang Liangying stood quietly in the center of the stage.

This is a live broadcast mishap!
The on-site director kept reminding them before Li Xiang and Wang Han realized what was happening and hurriedly walked onto the stage.

After the two finished hosting the event, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They were indeed shocked by Zhang Liangying just now, because the music coming from the overhead speaker was as powerful and awe-inspiring as a resounding bell.

Li Xiang: "Allow me to say that Zhang Liangying sang wonderfully! Her rendition of 'Wanjiang' made me forget all about hosting the show."

Wang Han: "Witnessing a magnificent patriotic song being sung on our 'Super Girl' stage was the happiest day of my life as a host."

Lee Sang: "That's absolutely right! Do you guys like this song?"

In the audience, both fans and judges shouted, "We love it! We love it so much!"

The stronger the feedback from the people at the scene, the more heartbroken Li Yuchun and Wang Peng became.

If they saw the reactions of the viewers in front of the TV, they would probably be even more heartbroken—many fans and supporters have switched sides at the last minute.

now.

With less than 15 minutes left in the live broadcast, the result of the match is basically locked in, and there's not much room for change, right?

Wang Peng immediately instructed his staff to contact telecommunications operators to obtain firsthand information.

Wang Peng was in agony while waiting for the data.

He didn't even need to see the results to guess who got the most votes from the text messages, but he was unwilling to accept the outcome.

"The gap should not be too large."

"Don't make it too big!"

"Don't exceed 50..."

……

stage.

Wang Han: "Look at the songs they sing, like 'Love Across Mountains and Rivers,' 'Hometown Clouds,' and 'Ten Thousand Borders,' every song touches our hearts."

Li Xiang: "Yes! Especially those of us who are watching our live broadcast will definitely feel it deeply."

Wang Han has a high regard for Shen Qing, and when he hosts programs, he subconsciously leans towards Shen Qing's side.

The same is true now.
He smiled and said, "Hey, Li Xiang, the competition is about to end. Which song did the contestants sing tonight that you liked the most? I'll go first. I like 'Wanjiang'—Long live the motherland!"

Ah this~
Wang Han, you son of a bitch!!

Since you've said that, what else can I say?
Do we even have a choice?

The only option left is to wish him a long life.

But Li Xiang also had a need to show off, and she didn't want Wang Han to be the only one doing it.

Then she smiled and looked at the camera, and with an extremely solemn expression and broadcasting tone, said, "I like 'Wanjiang' just like you, because on the 60th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, I wish our great motherland prosperity and longevity!"

hum...

Everyone's heads were buzzing...

Holy crap, you can elevate the theme like this?
Wang Han stared blankly at Li Xiang, feeling incredibly regretful. "Damn it, why didn't I think of that? She beat me to it!"

He Jiong, who was also a host, was the first to react and shouted, "Me too! I wish our great motherland a long life!"

The fans cheered in unison, "We're all the same!"

The other judges might be more reserved.
But everyone applauded and cheered.

The photographer's lens swept across the people in the first row, and everyone's face showed a genuine smile.

However, Wang Peng in the control room clenched his fists: "You guys had your fun showing off, but what about me? Answer me!!!"

Shen Qing laughed heartily: "You, Prime Minister Li... What a stroke of genius! I never expected this scene to appear, it's truly a masterpiece..."

Now, Li Xiang's heartfelt words have directly linked "Wanjiang" with the 60th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.

Viewers in front of your TVs, do you know who to vote for?

It's safe to say that Liangying has her lucky charm in hand!
Who dares to speak disrespectfully to him again!

Without any official intervention, a single spittle from each fan is enough to scare the insolent person half to death.

But~
Shen Qing didn't relax, but her breathing became even more rapid. "In a few days it will be the 60th anniversary gala. There will be a grand celebration in Beijing, and other provinces and cities will also have celebrations. Will anyone invite Zhang Liangying?"

Of course, this possibility is very small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.

After all, "Super Girl" is incredibly popular right now.

Moreover, Zhang Liangying has also appeared on CCTV News because of songs such as "Farewell" and "Father's Prose Poems", which has a very positive image.

It's not entirely impossible to receive an invitation.

After all, the organizers of these galas also want to further expand their influence—inviting the most popular and hottest singers is the most appropriate thing to do.

See? Isn't the Spring Festival Gala always the same?

The singers who took to the stage were among the most popular people of the year. Even Yang Chenggang, who sang "Mice Love Rice" at the 2005 Spring Festival Gala, was on stage!

Why can't Liangying perform at these large-scale galas?
……

"My God, this is amazing, truly amazing."

"This song can be interpreted in this way?"

"I would gladly acknowledge Li Xiang as Liang Ying's number one disciple; he's so good at elevating the theme."

"Suddenly, I feel like 'Super Girl' isn't so bad after all. What do you guys think? Tonight's battle will crush any future Super Girl competition."

The audience was abuzz with discussion; no one had expected this turn of events. Li Xiang's single sentence had completely ignited their emotions. Zhang Liangying's expression at that moment could only be described as shock and delight. She stared blankly at Li Xiang, suddenly realizing how incredibly impressive he was tonight!
Shen Qing had never told her about these things, yet Li Xiang suddenly had a brilliant idea and elevated "Ten Thousand Frontiers" to such a high level.

Sister Xiang, you're amazing!
Cool!
The beautiful woman could hardly contain her smile.

But she still can't laugh.

Because the current situation is under Li Xiang's control, we must proceed according to Li Xiang's rhythm; laughing would be inappropriate.

As the person involved, Li Xiang was also a little confused.

At that moment, she looked at the cheering fans below the stage and witnessed the most enthusiastic applause of the night...

Only at this moment did Li Xiang realize the weight of his words just now, and that his chance to become a household name was right in front of him...

She reacted incredibly quickly, immediately saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's all applaud for our motherland, and also applaud Zhang Liangying for singing 'Wanjiang,' okay?"

The applause lasted for a full 20 seconds!

Everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing that Li Xiang had completely outmaneuvered him, Wang Han felt extremely uncomfortable and quickly chimed in (to claim credit): "Thank you, thank you Liangying, I wish our great motherland prosperity and longevity!"

The atmosphere in the entire venue was completely ignited.

The emotions of the viewers in front of their televisions were equally fervent.

An emotion called "tears welling up in one's eyes" spread through everyone's heart.

At this moment, Shen Qing was also caught up in the atmosphere and was starting to lose control. He laughed and said, "Damn, I've moved myself."

Wang Han: "Only now do I understand the saying in the Book of Rites: 'Music is something that cannot be faked!'"

In front of the television, Mr. Wu Zhuqiang, the former president of the Central Conservatory of Music, had tears welling up in his eyes. He murmured:
"Music is beyond fakery! Only music can't be false! The two young people who wrote and sang this song have limitless potential in their future musical careers!"

……

Control room.

Wang Peng no longer wanted to listen to the noise in the studio. He looked at the data he had just obtained and shook his head helplessly.

"Zhang Liangying is leading by nearly 250 million!"

"She now has 542 million votes, an increase of more than 300 million in just one week. It's unbelievable... This data can't be fake, right?"

"Quickly, continue verifying; there's definitely something wrong with this data!!"

Just then~
The woman in charge of handling SMS data swallowed hard as she looked at the text message sent by the mobile operator: "Mr. Wang, the people on the mobile network say that SMS data is surging..."

Wang Peng stepped forward: "Who has seen a surge?"

The woman replied, "They didn't say who it was..."

A name popped into Wang Peng's mind: Zhang Liangying, because the scene in the studio already spoke volumes.

Who among the viewers in front of their televisions could resist voting?

In the final ten minutes, the operator still did not provide accurate data, because Zhang Liangying's votes were increasing rapidly every moment.

Wang Peng was helpless.
now.

Faced with an enthusiastic audience, Wang Peng was also scared!

The red glow hanging high above his head made him afraid to do anything that crossed the line; even the thought of it made him tremble with fear.

……

To allow the matter to escalate further, Li Xiang gave the interview opportunity to Hei Nan, knowing that Hei Nan would never speak carelessly.

Hei Nan picked up the microphone and first praised Zhang Liangying's "Wanjiang" highly, before offering his professional commentary:
Why does "Wanjiang" sound so grand and solemn? Why does it resonate so strongly with Chinese aesthetics?

"Because it uses a pentatonic scale arrangement—Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu, which are the five notes '12356', without the '4 and 7' semitones."

"Plus its magnificent and grand lyrics..."

After hearing Hei Nan's explanation, many ordinary viewers finally understood the song, and their appreciation for "Wanjiang" rose to a new level.

"Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu, the five-tone scale—this is the elegant music passed down from our ancestors!"

"Mango TV, a place of refined elegance!"

"How could a song like this appear on the 'Super Girl' stage? Did I go to the wrong TV station? I thought this was CCTV3!"

"The lyrics, composition, and arrangement are all incredibly impressive."

"The championship is a foregone conclusion!"

"I originally thought Zhang Liangying would kill the competition with a rearranged version of 'Crazy for Love,' but I didn't expect her to sing an awesome 'Moonlight.' Just when I thought... she sang 'Ten Thousand Frontiers'... Liangying, where is your limit?!"

"I want to know how many votes Liangying got, has it exceeded 500 million?"

"..."

Li Xiang glanced at the time and realized that five minutes had passed. He quickly stopped the momentum and began the final round of the lottery.

the other side.

Wang Peng glanced at the SMS voting results as of 22:40 PM and sighed deeply.

No chance.

He couldn't even muster the thought of tampering with the data.

Disheartened.

He stopped at the door, turned around and said, "Take the data provided by the operator as soon as possible."

……

Backstage, prop room.

Several staff members received the vote count via text message and began making props according to the numbers.

They used something similar to a basketball scoreboard, with 10 flip-up positions, but only used 7 digits.

"Did I read the code correctly?"

"Zhang Liangying just had over 500 million votes? How did it gain another 80 votes in just a few minutes? My God, the total has exceeded 600 million votes..."

"It must be thanks to 'Wanjiang'. I was really moved by what Sister Xiang said just now."

"Me too! Zhang Liangying is just too good."

"If she wins the championship, what will happen to Li Yuchun?"

"Are you stupid? Who would dare to change the data at this time? Do you dare? I certainly don't. Hurry up and do it. It has to be up and running within two minutes."

"..."

　Thank you to Le Shi for the 1500-point reward, and thank you to Yu Meng Chi Ge and Ru Ruo Chu Jian for the 100-point rewards.
