Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. ∝

The annual Lantern Festival, although not as lively as the Spring Festival, also has a unique flavor. Especially this year's Lantern Festival Gala has attracted special attention because of the particularity of the Spring Festival Gala.

Originally, if it weren't for Chu Yang's joining, this Spring Festival Gala might have become a session with a lot of slots and more scolding than praise, like many previous Spring Festival Galas. Since entering the Internet era, the Spring Festival Gala seems to have been fixed into such a routine.

However, because of Chu Yang's strong participation, whether it is Xiaoyan's dance "Allure", or the ensemble "Blue Water Divine Heart", or the refreshing and even redefined the bamboo flute performance of "New Herdsmen New Song", it has become a lingering classic in the hearts of this Spring Festival Gala!

Not to mention Chu Yang's "My Motherland", which hangs on CCTV's website, and a long row of netizens leave messages below, which can be called one of the hottest programs of the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, the discussion about this show has already been out of the show itself, so although this show is popular, it has also become the most controversial program.

The controversy itself is not Chu Yang's playing technique. From the technical level alone, this "My Motherland" Chu Yang can be said to have completely conquered those piano fans, the kind of flowing performance, which is simply pleasing to the eye, is a double enjoyment of sight and hearing!

Many netizens even ridiculed that they finally didn't have to watch a certain Lang's "big wave of emojis". Although Chu Yang's performance is also full of emotion, his expression is not exaggerated, but he just follows the emotion of the music, and the moderate expression comes out. This makes most people very comfortable to watch, and they can't find the slightest fault.

In contrast, when Chen Lang collaborated with two other artists on "Slow Voice". The classic emoji pack has still become an important slot for the audience to complain. But whether it is scolding or boasting, this has become Chen Lang's classic style, and he naturally will not change anything because of this.

The focus of discussion among netizens came from a reply from an old man who claimed to be "Tian Sheweng".

That's what he said.

"Good, very good! This piece made me feel the prosperity and beauty of my great motherland. It sounds like drinking a good wine, you can't stop it, give a hundred likes! ”

As a result, below this post, Xun was replied with a "Wumao Party upstairs, the identification is completed".

Then this netizen named "Tian Sheweng" felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and immediately replied: "First solemnly declare, I am not a Wumao Party, and secondly." I am a veteran party member with 58 years of party experience, good is good, I just said what was in my heart! ”

However, this reply attracted more cynicism from netizens.

"Yo, I'm still an old party member, no wonder I like it so happily, haha."

"That is, to hear the phrase 'the prosperity and beauty of the great motherland'. I was on the verge of throwing up. ”

"On the first floor, I move bricks at the construction site every day. I drove more than 1,000 yuan a month, worked 14 hours a day, and was so tired that I was to death. At the end of the year, the boss hasn't paid me yet, so why can't I realize where the prosperity and beauty you said is? ”

"Hey, buddy upstairs, you still have more than a thousand dollars to take. I'm miserable, set up a small stall to sell some fruits, and I am checked by the city management every day, alas, life is not easy. ”

"Don't cry poor. I have been working for 27 years now, still a small clerk, receiving a salary of less than 2,000 a month, an eighty-year-old mother to take care of, and two children to support, who am I crying with? ”

"Upstairs, don't follow the blind mix here, who doesn't know that you are so idle every day, a newspaper and a cup of tea, the computer is turned on and off, and the day has passed, huh? I'm going to have this job, give me a thousand, and I'll do it!" ”

"That's right, Comrade Ape, you actually have two children, is this a violation of the national family planning policy? Hehe, beware of checking the water meter at night! ”

……

A simple piano piece has led to a big discussion among netizens, and the reason is just a message reply. As a result, this song has also become the most controversial work of the Spring Festival Gala.

But no matter what, Chu Yang is on fire, whether it is because of his own position or because of the controversy caused by this song, he has become the most controversial actor in this Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, he still went on stage twice alone, which can be said to be extremely rare on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, accompanied by a burst of festive opening music, the CCTV No. 1 studio hall was decorated with joy, and the Lantern Festival party officially started!

First, a group of star artists sang on stage, and a classic song was skewered, which warmed up the venue first.

Then, several hosts with Lao Bi as the leader appeared in full costume and officially opened the curtain of the Lantern Festival party.

The Lantern Festival Gala was once ridiculed as the "resurrection match of the Spring Festival Gala", which is also appropriate. Because of the capacity of the Spring Festival Gala, in more than four hours, there will definitely be no way to bring up all the good programs, so what about some excellent programs that have not been selected? This needs to be made up for with the Lantern Festival party. So when everyone used to watch the Lantern Festival Gala, the host often said: "This show is also very good-looking, but due to xx reasons, it is a pity that I did not appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but it doesn't matter, let's go through the stage of the Lantern Festival Gala today and enjoy this show together." ”

The Lantern Festival Gala also has a task, that is, the Spring Festival Gala "My Favorite Program" selection and awards party. For artists, although this honor does not seem so professional, it represents the recognition of the audience, and it is also quite weighty.

The four hosts appeared on the stage, and after talking about the topic of Lantern Festival and Tangyuan, and said some auspicious words, they collectively withdrew, leaving Lao Bi alone to start reporting the curtain.

A sketch, a song and dance, after two programs, the Spring Festival Gala started the first round of "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Program" awards party, and the first announcement was the list of winners of the third prize. It should be noted that CCTV's selection is divided into three categories, namely "singing and dancing", "language" and "opera acrobatics". Because the audience is different, if the three types of programs are mixed together, it is obviously unfair to select. Singing, dancing and language have the broadest mass base. In contrast, opera acrobatics and the like are weaker, and if they are lined up together, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with opera.

There are many programs that have won the third prize, a song in the song and dance category, a duet of a popular idol group, and an anti-string category, all of which have won awards, and there are even more in the language category. This year's Spring Festival Gala. The language program is the largest one, so there are more selections. In the end, six programs, including the cross talk "Speaking of New Year's Customs" and the sketch "New Year", were shortlisted for this award.

The award-winning representatives came to the stage to accept the award, and it can be seen that their expressions are quite happy. Although the third prize is not very good, being able to perform on this stage is a success in itself, and it can be regarded as a joy to have a prize!

After a few more shows. The second round of awards has also begun. This time, both the actors and the audience seemed to be much more focused.

Because the second prize is not as wide as the previous third prize, generally only two or three of a type can be selected, the key is to be able to break through to this step, are those who have the confidence to compete for the first prize, so these people's mood at the moment can be said to be very complicated. I hope that I can hear my name from the host's mouth, and I hope that the host will not pronounce me. Because then it means that it is possible to enter the final first prize!

Chen Lang sat on the sand at home, watching the Lantern Festival party with his family, waiting for the award results. For a period of time after the year, he did not have a performance task, so he simply returned to his hometown in Shenbei and spent a year happily with his family.

Chen Lang went home. It can be said that it alarmed the entire Shenbei City, this Spring Festival, he didn't stop much, and he participated in several evening parties in his hometown alone, after all, they are all from his hometown. He was too embarrassed to refuse. Fortunately, for him, it doesn't take much to act in a show, just play a short section on stage. Now he is in the ring, as long as he appears, it means ratings, and no matter what he plays, he will get warm applause, after all, his fame is there.

"Son, I heard that at this party, there was a director who also played the piano? The Internet says that he is challenging you, is there such a thing? Chen Lang's father looked at the TV and suddenly asked.

Chen Lang's father is an old teacher who has been teaching music in his hometown, and he plays the erhu very well. But in order to provide Chen Lang with the piano, he quit his job without hesitation, accompanied him to Yanjing to go to school, and later went to the United States to study.

"Dad, don't listen to their nonsense, what challenges are not challenged, this is the Spring Festival Gala, and it is not a professional piano competition, so those people are coaxing blindly." Chen Lang listened to his father's words and said with some amusement.

But in his heart, he didn't think so.

Chu Yang's "My Motherland", how much gold there is, others don't know in their hearts, but he is not ambiguous at all. If you don't talk about others, you talk about him. He has been learning the piano all the way, and the hard work he has paid during this period is unimaginable to outsiders. Not to mention how painful he was when he didn't get the teacher's understanding and recognition at the beginning of those years in Yanjing, he was almost forced to jump off the building. Later, he studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in the United States, and in the past four years, he has hardly visited the streets of the United States once, soaking in the piano room day and night, even so, in the end, it was because of the dramatic "replacement" that he became famous in one fell swoop.

It was at the Ravenia Festival in Chicago that the star concert was played in Chen Lang's dramatic emergency to replace the unwell Andrew? Oise performed Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by renowned maestro Eschenbach. Before the opening, the famous artist Stern introduced Chen Lang to the audience: "You will hear the most beautiful voice in the world from this young Chinese boy". Sure enough, when the last note was played, the audience stood up and cheered, and the thunderous applause lasted for a long time. This successful temporary substitute performance was greatly praised by the Chicago Tribune, one of the three major newspapers in the United States, praising "Chen Lang as the greatest and most exciting piano genius in the world".

Until now, recalling this experience, Chen Lang is still excited.

However, after watching Chu Yang's "My Motherland", he was a little silent.

How old is Chu Yang this year? Just turned 20 years old.

What was he doing when he was twenty? Chen Lang remembers that he was in the piano room of the Central Conservatory of Music, competing with Bach's creative music.

After watching Chu Yang's performance. Chen Lang asked himself, when he was so old in Chu Yang, he couldn't be as good as him!

But after all, this is just an ordinary piano piece adapted from a song, and if Chen Lang is allowed to play it at this moment, it may not be impossible to play it with such an effect.

In his heart, he was actually unconvinced. I also have the heart to compete after seeing the master.

Therefore, he called out to Chu Yang through the guò network and invited him to participate in the "Chopin Cup" International Piano Competition held in Poland in June this year. This competition is known as the "Olympiad" of the piano world, and is on a par with the "Liszt" Cup. Chen Lang thought that there was the real battlefield between himself and Chu Yang. It's just up to him to see if he dares to go or not!

On TV, the special guests were announcing the results, and the second prize in the song and dance category was the dance "Allure"!

Hearing this show, Chen Lang nodded sincerely. He also watched this show. It's really amazing, it's very exciting. In particular, there were a few dance moves in it, and it even caused a debate, Chen Lang remembered that under the effect of the smoke on the stage, the dancers had a volley sliding movement, at that time, many people said that Weiya was hanged, but some people said that there was no hanging, and then another group of people immediately said that it was impossible. It is impossible to stay in the air for so long with human strength, because of this thing. Also led a group of technomanacs there for various analyses.

But in any case, this dance won second place, and it was well deserved. Even Chen Lang felt that the second place was given too low, and in his opinion, there was no problem at all in winning the first place in this show.

Immediately after that, the host announced the second award-winning program. This time, it was Chu Yang and Brigitte who performed "Blue Water Zen Heart". Seeing that this show won the second place, Chen Lang couldn't help but feel a sense of relaxation in his heart. Because in his opinion, this is the one that is most likely to compete with himself for the first place. At that time, when he heard this "Blue Water Zen Sound" on the spot, he still remembers the shocking feeling. That's a baptism of the soul!

If this song won the first place, Chen Lang would be convinced. Because from a purely artistic point of view, this "Blue Water Zen Heart" has reached an impeccable perfection in terms of concept, arrangement, and performance by two performers!

In contrast, although "Once Upon a Time" is also a very intentional work, and it hits some current social problems, it can be said to be quite good, but compared with "Blue Water Zen Heart", it is still so much worse.

To put it bluntly, "Slow Voice" can be called a masterpiece at best, but "Blue Water Zen Heart" can be called a "masterpiece"!

The moment Brigitte dressed in green took the stage to accept the award, there was a burst of warm applause under the stage. Chen Lang couldn't help but sigh that the power of beauties was too great.

Even his father couldn't help but sigh when he saw this girl: "This actor is so beautiful!" By the way, son, does she have a partner? ”

Hearing his father's words, Chen Lang suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Dad, I don't know her well, how do I know if she has a partner?" ”

"If you don't know each other, you can slowly understand, you are both engaged in art, and you have a common language. You're not too young, it's time to think about starting a family, hey, if I have such a daughter-in-law, I'll wake up laughing in my dreams. ”

Seeing that his father's words were becoming more and more unreliable, Chen Lang simply ignored him and concentrated on watching TV.

Finally, in his anticipation, the host read out the list of winners of the third second prize in the song and dance category.

The song "Once Upon a Time"!

There was warm applause under the stage, but at the same time, Chen Lang's eyes were also dark.

Is this still the case at last? Chen Lang sighed and thought with some loss.

Although he had long thought that this might be the result, he still felt a little lost when he actually appeared in front of him.

It is better to say that it is lost, but it is not reconciled, because in Chen Lang's opinion, the show is not as good as Chu Yang, not because of his level, but because this song did not give him a chance to swing at all.

He believes that if he comes to the stage of the real piano competition, he will definitely let Chu Yang see his true strength!

It was Chen Huan who came to the stage to accept the award, he smiled happily, and Chen Lang really admired his ease. As a big brother who has been in the Chinese music scene for decades, his show deserves to be the first, and no one will say anything. But right now, it's only second.

At this point, there is no suspense, Chen Lang doesn't have to guess to know that the first program must be Chu Yang's piano solo "My Motherland", because first, there are few excellent programs left, and second, he has already had a hunch that this show looks like the first place!

Why? Selection!

Speaking of this, he was also a little helpless. The Spring Festival Gala is actually not so political, but the problem is that Chu Yang's show is too successful both in terms of concept and adaptation. At this time, the selection of materials will give him extra points, carry forward the main theme, stimulate positive energy, if such a show has a good appearance, it is really difficult to think of a champion!

Sure enough, Chen Lang watched it for a while, and at the moment when the first prize was finally awarded, the piano solo "My Motherland" took the lead! (To be continued!)
