Chapter 467 The Song of Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace

The National Day Special Gala will be held at 8 PM on September 30th.

This was an exceptionally high-profile gala; those invited to attend were either royalty, pillars of the nation, or industry representatives.

Therefore, the program for this gala is quite different from those Ye Xian has participated in before, and the program requirements are more positive.

Many fans who flocked to the live stream felt sleepy while watching the performance.

Although I love the TV series "The Legend of Tang Dynasty," I really don't enjoy this kind of show. If it weren't for Brother Xian's appearance, I definitely wouldn't have wasted my time.

[I strongly suggest that Brother Xian be the chief director. Check out his "Amazing Journey" series—it doesn't cost much, but the effects are phenomenal, and the background music is a viral sensation online.]

[Sigh, after all these years, why is it still the same? Can't they come up with something new? The skits plagiarize jokes that are six months or a year old, and the hosts use broadcasting voices to deliver nonsensical puns. I was so embarrassed I could dig a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of my toes.]

[What number is Xian Ge's show? What will he sing tonight? Does anyone know? Will it be an old song?]

……

At this party, Ye Xian was not qualified to sit next to the Sixth Princess and was arranged to sit in the last two rows.

Ye Xian had no objection to this arrangement, because the first few rows were occupied by veterans and industry representatives, and even royalty had to sit behind them. As a minor celebrity, it didn't matter where he sat.

Some people want to sit in this hall but can't.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all the more than a thousand seats at the event are free. Getting a free ticket in Beijing is definitely not as easy as you might imagine.

However, Ye Xian was getting a little sleepy watching the show, but he had to force himself to stay awake.

The director seemed to know that everyone was getting a little sleepy, so he would occasionally switch the camera to Ye Xian, which kept the fans in the live stream on the edge of their seats.

The director really went all out for ratings.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, a group of men and women dressed in formal attire walked onto the stage one after another in the live broadcast. Everyone immediately understood that a symphony was about to be played.

Seeing this, many young fans wanted to swipe away from the live stream and wait until Ye Xian came out to watch, but the host's announcement made everyone pause for a moment.

"Next, please enjoy 'The Song of Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace,' adapted from 'Above the Moon.'"

The audience at the scene didn't react much, but the young fans in the live stream went wild.

Did I hear that right? What song was it adapted from?

[Is this an adaptation of the popular square dance anthem "Above the Moon"? What's the meaning of this? When did the national team become so down-to-earth?]

[Haha, the director has focused the camera on Brother Xian again, and the subtitles are showing it. Sure enough, this altered music was also composed by Brother Xian. Has Brother Xian turned square dancing into a symphony?]

Wow, that opening was really powerful! Is that really "Above the Moon"? It doesn't sound quite right to me.

……

Ye Xian, sitting in the audience, had a happy smile on his face.

He had previously responded to the criticism of square dance songs like "Above the Moon" and "Free Flying" at his concert, but those alone were not enough, so he brought out "Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace".

Didn't you guys say I was unfashionable and outdated?

Then let me show you how a folk song can be performed by a national team to the level of a grand symphony.

……

At the same time, dozens of instruments, including the guzheng, erhu, drum, xiao, pipa, violin, cello, tuba, and trumpet, and played by nearly a hundred musicians under the direction of the band conductor, performed "The Song of Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace".

Magnificent and imposing!

High morale, inspiring!

The symphony "Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace," adapted from "Above the Moon," resounded in the golden hall of the Imperial Grand Theatre in Beijing, and also echoed in the ears of tens of millions of fans watching the live stream.

On the big screen, footage of Datang's space program, various spacecraft taking off, and landing on the moon were played one by one.

[Don't laugh, everyone, why do I feel my eyes getting a little wet? How can a popular square dance song be performed by the national team into such a captivating symphony?]

[Holy crap, this is driving me wild! It's got my hair standing on end! Is this really the same square dance anthem I hear every day after get off work? Unbelievable!]

[Guess what's the most amazing thing? I actually sang "Above the Moon" while listening to a symphony orchestra! Anyone know what that means? This square dance anthem that I used to look down on, I can now sing better than anyone else!]

How dare some people call someone "rustic"? They follow the folk song route, but their music is just awesome. At its peak, it can soar from the streets to outer space, giving me a feeling of conquering the universe!

……

Also seated in the Golden Hall was Li Ming. As a veteran singer, he was qualified to attend this gala, but his seat was further back than Ye Xian's.

Listening to the powerful symphony on stage, Li Ming's face was ashen. He never expected that Ye Xian would play such a trick. With such a piece, Ye Xian had essentially opened the door to traditional music and art troupes.

"This kid is getting harder and harder to control."

Li Ming harbored resentment.

Originally thought to be just a junior who could be manipulated at will, but unexpectedly he directly sent Liu Bohan and Liu Fengying to work as sewing machines, then used a song "Rakshasa Mirage" to criticize himself and get on the trending topics, used a song "Tante" to crush his proud singing skills, and used a song "May We All Be Blessed with Longevity" to completely break his literary fame.

Now, his adaptation of the down-to-earth song "Above the Moon," which he had always criticized, into such a grand and magnificent symphony is sure to make it a part of the trending topics tomorrow!

Fortunately, tomorrow is the National Day holiday, so such trending topics usually don't get very popular.

Once the National Day holiday is over, it's time to prepare for the awards season.

Kid, I'll see if you dare to reject the academic school again, just like you did with the Sea Lion Music Awards.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you continue to be so headstrong!

I bet you won't come begging to me then!

……

Ye Xian was unaware of Li Ming's thoughts at that moment, nor did he care to know.

In his mind, the so-called veterans and big brothers in the music industry have nothing to do with him. As long as they can't control everything, he can see whether they are more powerful or he is more powerful.

The person I am now is not the same person Liu Fengying and Liu Bohan could manipulate at will back then.

After the performance of "The Song of Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace" ended, Ye Xian bent over and walked out of his seat to the backstage area.

The sixth princess had been waiting there for a long time.
