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

Chapter 80: Singing of National Prosperity and Peace (Second Update, 5200 words)
"Thank you, thank you Zhang Liangying, what a wonderful performance! Did you like it?"

"like!"

"Beautiful figure, beautiful voice, beautiful figure."

The camera gave the fans a full seven or eight seconds, and everyone in the frame was all smiles and cheering in unison.

The sheer fervor was palpable on the screen.

The fans watching on TV were extremely excited, and many regretted not being able to attend the match in person.

Even casual fans were caught up in the excitement, pulling out their phones to send text messages and cast their votes for their favorite contestants, or rather, for their favorite song, "Moonlight".

"After listening to music for 30 years, this is the first time I've heard this kind of singing style; it's so intricate and nuanced!"

"Now I understand why ancient literati and poets loved listening to music; anyone who hears such songs would be mesmerized!"

“Liang Ying must have been a female knight-errant and ridden a horse, otherwise she couldn’t sing with this kind of feeling.”

"I think it's because Shen Qing trained them well. He wrote all these songs, so he must know how to sing them in the most attractive way."

"You're right, but I'm a man, and I like beautiful women."

……

now.

On stage, a female fan ran onto the stage with a doll about half her height and gave it to Liangying.

Zhang Liangying's surprised expression showed that she was very happy.

These little surprises are what make people happy the most.

Zhang Liangying glanced at Shen Qing, winked, and thought, "He'll be happy if I give him the doll later!"

"Wow, what a thoughtful fan!" After the fan left, Li Xiang said with a smile, "Now, let's have a special segment planned. How about we invite one of Zhang Liangying's fans to come up and campaign for her?!"

The jelly noodles that appear on stage are not randomly selected...

It was planned well in advance.

The person who took the stage to campaign for Zhang Liangying was the president of Zhang Liangying's fan club in Changsha—a male fan who is a lecturer in the Computer Science Department of Hunan University.

Don't let his STEM background fool you; when he gets flamboyant, liberal arts students are no match for him. Only the art students can rival him.

President: "Liangying is a very warm and kind girl. I remember last week one of our fans from Heilongjiang came to Changsha. It was her birthday that day. We sent a text message to Liangying's friend Shen Qing. Shen Qing didn't reply to us at the time, but half an hour later, Liangying and Shen Qing showed up at the birthday party with flowers and a cake..."

President: "Here, we want to say to Liangying, Liangfen is happier with you."

Fans: "Ahhhhh... Liangying, keep it up!"

Liangying: "Thank you, thank you!"

Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
This president is really good at telling (making up) stories! That birthday party was clearly a pre-arranged gathering.
However, Liangying had rehearsals and meetings that day, and didn't go until very late.

I almost missed it.

But the fans were incredibly happy at the time.

In their eyes, they were satisfied as long as Liangying went.

Li Xiang: "I noticed something when he was speaking just now; his eyes were a little moist..."

President: "I want to say to the fans here, let's all shout together, 'Liangying, you are the treasure in our hearts!'"

Liangfen: "Liangying, you are the treasure in our hearts!"

Li Xiang: "Thank you. So you're here today to campaign for Liangying. How will you do it?"

Many people are looking forward to it!
Shen Qing knew the method, but she wouldn't say.

President: "I know many of you watching on TV have been quietly admiring Zhang Liangying without participating in the voting. I think now is the time for us to show our enthusiasm and vote for Liangying together! Let's sing 'Passionate Desert' together!"

……

In front of the TV~
"Haha, this male fan is so eloquent, I'm tempted to vote for him too."

"Indeed, very sincere."

"Have you noticed how different Liangying's fans are from the other people's fans? Our Liangying fans are definitely more outstanding!"

"I'm going to cast my first vote!"

At the same time, Zhang Liangying picked up the microphone and began to speak.

My passion is like a blazing fire.

Then, the drum kit started playing a lively rhythm, and the president sang along.

"It burned the entire desert."

Even the sun avoids me when it sees me.

Even it fears the fire of my love.

"..."

In less than 30 seconds, the atmosphere was reignited.

Even Ke Yimin got into the fun, raising her hands and swaying to the beat of the music from her seat.

After the campaign segment ended, Lee Sang announced the voting method again, reminding viewers not to forget to vote.

This concludes the interview with Liangying.

This time, Li Xiang did not end the interview hastily as she had in the previous round, because she was completely moved by Liang Ying's singing.

The song "Moonlight" she had just heard made her tremble all over.

As if there were real electric currents, my legs involuntarily came together.

……

Changsha Telecom.

Contract worker Xiao Wang watched TV while observing the backend data, and tens of thousands of text messages popped up every time he refreshed the page.

Especially after Zhang Liangying finished singing, the number of text messages surged, and Wang immediately told Li Lei the news.

Meanwhile, Li Lei was at home, strutting around with his hands on his hips next to the television, looking smugly at his sister and wife.
"Haha, this rendition of 'Moonlight' caught you all off guard, didn't it... Wait a minute, Xiao Wang's text message came in. My goodness, Zhang Liangying is far ahead..."

Just as the president said, many people admire silently but don't actually vote.

and so.

Even though "Super Girl" was incredibly popular in 2005, Li Yuchun only received a little over 300 million SMS votes, and that was under the condition that each person could cast 15 votes.

If you want to get tickets from the audience, you have to come up with songs that are moving enough, just like "Moonlight" has already gotten some people's tickets.

But Moonlight attracts more young people!
The middle-aged and elderly population may not be too interested in this song. To get their votes, we need a song that becomes extremely popular.

The scene of uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas voting while wearing reading glasses will surely be a spectacular sight.

……

The third round of matches will not continue for another half hour.

Li Xiang and Wang Han were hosting an emotional segment on stage, which almost brought tears to the eyes of Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, and Zhang Liangying's mother in the audience.

Station Director: This segment must be edited out and broadcast separately tomorrow so that the outside world can see how positive our "Super Girl" is!!!

But the audience doesn't seem to like it.

Many people went to the restroom, browsed forums, or called friends to chat about the game; not many people watched the entire match.

[Super Girl Baidu Tieba]

[Moonlight Shines! Best Mainland Chinese Single of 2005!]

[Jane Zhang has secured a spot at the 5th China Golden Record Awards]

[An unbeatable arrangement, an unbeatable original, and Liangying ends the competition early]

If the champion wasn't Liang Ying, Hunan TV could go bankrupt.

【…】

Time flew by, and more than half an hour had passed.

The third round of the competition arrived late.

now.

The audience was extremely tense, especially the die-hard fans of the three contestants, who were all holding their breath for their idols.

In the control room, Wang Peng looked at the text message vote count that had just been tallied and his face turned red with anger: "Outrageous! How is Zhang Liangying already leading by 65 votes? Are the fans just sitting around doing nothing?"

Even if the competition ends there, Wang Peng will still bite the bullet and tamper with the data.

It's just a difference of 65?

If you grit your teeth, you can manage to smooth things over.

However, if another round of singing continues, and Zhang Liangying's votes continue to grow, exceeding 150 million, then it will be difficult to manipulate the results behind the scenes.

Because the huge fluctuation in the number of text messages in Changsha within a single day could not have been caused by ordinary users; it must have been due to votes from fans.

Who could generate such a frenzy of voting from fans, with one day's votes equaling the amount of votes cast in the previous weeks?!
Li Yuchun?

Unlikely.

Her performance today was the same as usual, nothing noteworthy. How could she possibly have gained so many new followers?

That can only be a new fan of Jane Zhang.

Because the two songs that Liangying sang today were a complete breakthrough from her previous performances; both the style and the singing technique were stronger than before.

Only she could attract so many new fans to vote for her.

and.

The explanation becomes even clearer when the third poem, "Wanjiang," is released.

If Wang Peng continues to forcibly tamper with the data, then Liangfen (Liang Ying's fans) will not let it go when they see Liangying lagging behind Li Yuchun; they will definitely use all their resources to find out the original data from the operator.

Once the data is released to the public, everyone will discover that Hunan TV was manipulating things behind the scenes, and then "Super Girl" can be shut down.

……

On-site director: "Please welcome Zhou Bichang to perform 'Love Across Mountains and Rivers'!"

The second performer, Li Yuchun, presented "Hometown Clouds".

In this round, the three contestants seemed to be in sync, all choosing very popular songs to bring a perfect end to the 2005 "Super Girl" competition.

The older viewers in front of the screen definitely felt a stronger connection. Even the grandparents who had been forced to watch the game with their grandchildren before no longer objected at this moment.

After the two finished singing, the whole audience cheered.

In this round, Shen Qing no longer focused solely on Li Yuchun's singing skills.

Because Li Yuchun was in a very good mood and state at the moment, very focused and dedicated, Shen Qing wanted to give her a thumbs up.

Although her rendition of "Hometown Clouds" wasn't as good as Wen Zhang's or Fei Xiang's, it incorporated Li Yuchun's own emotions and thoughts, giving it a different flavor.

Actually, these kinds of songs are generally not too bad, as long as the singer's skills aren't too bad.

After Li Yuchun finished singing, Shen Qing led the applause.

……

The last contestant is Jane Zhang.

After she finished singing, all the competitions ended.

Not only the fans, but other viewers were also reluctant to see it end.

The two groups of fans, Corn and Biqin, stopped making sarcastic remarks and quietly watched the beautiful figure take the stage.

Which revolutionary song will Liangying sing?

"Maybe it's an original work?" "An original revolutionary song? That's too difficult. You can't just write a song like that."

"You're right. I guess Jane Zhang will sing 'My Motherland and I.' What do you guys think?"

"..."

Almost no one believed that Shen Qing could write a revolutionary song for Zhang Liangying. Among those present, only the band and a handful of staff had heard the simplified version of "Wanjiang".

Previously, Shen Qing had given the band a small red envelope, telling them to practice their music more when they got back.

During the rehearsal, Liangying and the band only worked together once.

and.

The version sung was not the complete one; the operatic parts were omitted.

As a result, the staff who heard it did not truly realize the appeal and power of "Wanjiang".

The purpose of doing this is very simple: to make a name for oneself.

soon.

Zhang Liangying changed into a white long dress on stage, adorned with gold and red peony patterns, exuding a strong Chinese style.

On the band's side, two women with an air of peace and prosperity stood in the harmony area, holding the hands of a cute little girl.

This change piqued the interest of Hei Nan and others.

He Jiong: "Wow, you're so well prepared! You even hired your own backing vocalist?"

Hei Nan: "Zhang Liangying isn't actually going to sing a revolutionary song, is she?"

Chang Kuan glanced at Shen Qing, who was sitting in the corner of the first row, and said, "It's probably not difficult for Shen Qing to write a revolutionary song, but the difficulty is whether it will be good. This is not ordinary pop music; the composition and arrangement are very particular."

Ke Yimin: "Judging from this lineup, it seems to be a genuine original. Let's look forward to it. Maybe Shen Qing can really write a song that is just as good as the two songs above? Even if it's only close, Zhang Liangying is the undisputed champion."

Hei Nan: "That's right, as long as he can get close to 'Hometown Clouds,' the championship is his for the taking."

Ke Yimin muttered to herself, "When the time comes, Zhang Liangying will sing a revolutionary song that the whole country loves. I don't believe that Wang would go against all odds and give the championship to Li Yuchun. The two are simply not on the same level..."

……

in front of the TV.

The audience was eagerly anticipating Zhang Liangying, the strongest performer, to deliver a patriotic song and bring the Super Girl competition to a perfect close.

Zhao Lei stared intently at the television.

Li Lei remained silent, gripping the phone tightly in his hand.

While watching the live broadcast, Xiao Wang, who was on duty, kept an eye on the number of text messages.

Old Wu put on his reading glasses...

Everyone is waiting.

stage.

The lights dimmed and then turned on again.

As the music started, a clear and melodious little girl's voice rang out, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

It's not Zhang Liangying's name that's mentioned?
Another new trick!
At the same time, subtitles appeared.

Song Title: Ten Thousand Frontiers

Lyrics by Shen Qing

Composer: Shen Qing

Arrangement: Shen Qing

Singer: Jane Zhang
……

The live stream camera cut to the face of the little girl singing.

This is an eight-year-old elementary school student with pigtails, red lips and white teeth, and a lively and spirited look in her eyes.

Very cute.

Under the spotlight, the little girl was not nervous at all and sang the first few lines of "Wanjiang" with a smile.

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

How fortunate I am to have been born into your arms!

"Inheriting the same bloodline"

"Sharing hardships and joys, they stood tall and resilient."

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

"A faith that has endured for a thousand years"

"..."

Both inside and outside the live stream, everyone was stunned by this scene...

what's going on?
Where did the little girl come from?!

Since the Super Girl competition started, there has never been a precedent of elementary school students singing as guest performers! Everyone is very curious.

First of all, her voice is clear and bright; this little girl has remarkable singing skills.

Secondly, she is very cute, just like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, full of vitality.

It couldn't be more fitting for a primary school student like this to appear in a revolutionary song.

"A stroke of genius!"

"This little girl's a cappella singing made me feel numb all over, and a certain emotion was growing within me."

"Shen Qing is really something else, how did he think of having elementary school students sing the opening song?"

"The camera is focused on Liangying; she's about to sing."

"Go, Liangying!"

……

At the same time, the judges below the stage were also very surprised, but more than that, they admired Shen Qingtian's imaginative ideas.

Hei Nan: "Wow, Shen Qing really does have ideas."

Ke Yimin: "Most people wouldn't think of such a combination. I feel this model might become a hit."

……

When the little girl finished singing, the camera focused on Jane Zhang, who raised the microphone.

"To write about the heavens, one only needs to depict a corner of the sun and moon's enduring beauty."

"When painting the earth, only depict a corner where the mountains and rivers remain unharmed."

"Looking back through the ages, spanning five thousand years, all of heaven and earth revere us."

"Only the Yan and Huang Emperors, with open hearts, can roam freely in all directions."

Zhang Liangying's voice evokes a sense of peace and prosperity, perfectly complementing the vibrant energy of the young woman.

This combination is refreshing and makes people even more eager for the chorus to follow.

The first few lines of the lyrics are great, but they haven't yet shown the ability to rival "Hometown Clouds".

But it already sounds quite comforting.

However, there are still many who are pessimistic.

"That's it?"

"What the heck? Is Zhang Liangying addicted to using parallel sentences today?"

"It felt just okay, not as amazing as the little girl's initial performance!"

Shen Qing knew some people would say that.
But it doesn't matter.

Later, Liangying will slap them in the face and show them what it means to sing revolutionary songs in a traditional opera style.

Moreover, the grand and majestic spirit displayed in the lyrics will move any Chinese person, and it's only natural to have tears welling up in one's eyes.

"Touching the flowing light, time has imbued the red walls with the essence of every brick and tile."

"Sighing at the cycle of life and death, every flower and tree experiences joy and sorrow through the vicissitudes of time."

"..."

"Only China, with its brilliance shining forth, is forging a path of flourishing."

As she spoke the last five words, Zhang Liangying's voice rose higher and higher, her emotions becoming even more uplifting and full.

The chorus is coming!

Two opera-style vocalists also moved closer to the microphone, ready to begin singing.

On the judges' panel, Ke Yimin, He Jiong, and Hei Nan all leaned forward involuntarily, wanting to listen carefully.

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

How fortunate I am to have been born into your arms!

"Inheriting the same bloodline"

"Sharing hardships and joys, they stood tall and resilient."

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

"A faith that has endured for a thousand years"

"..."

With the help of the harmony, Zhang Liangying performed some simple opera movements.

This passage from traditional Chinese opera seems to linger in everyone's mind and genes, instantly stirring up everyone's patriotic feelings.

The older audience members sitting in the studio clapped enthusiastically, even more so than the younger ones.

Hei Nan and Ke Yimin turned to look at each other at the same time, their eyes revealing surprise and amazement.

Hei Nan: "Is this still the Zhang Liangying I know?"

Ke Yimin: "Holy crap! That's incredible."

Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang were completely dumbfounded.

Zhang Liangying, how could you sing like that? Can't you give us some face?
This is making us very embarrassed. It's like college students and elementary school students taking the same elementary school test...

Crush!

at the same time.

The local Changsha singers who had just taken the stage clapped and said, "Good, good, good, you sang well, young lady!"

As for the older viewers in front of the TV, I wonder how many of them were captivated by Jane Zhang's songs!

Many uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers who had seen the 'sun' were moved to tears.

The veterans who had served in the military remained silent, only wanting to cast their votes for Zhang Liangying.

As for the young people and students, they all listened to the song solemnly.

A sense of pride arises spontaneously.

Shen Qing only wants to describe her current feelings in one sentence: After singing this part, Liangying will let everyone know what the "national peace and prosperity singing style" is!
From now on, who will dare to say that Zhang Liangying is just an ordinary talent show singer who only entertains the audience on the Super Girl stage?

Please call her: National Team Reserve!

P.S.: Before I knew it, I'd written over 5200 words! I originally planned to finish the final chapter in one go, but I felt one chapter was too long. I'm thinking of releasing the ending all at once tomorrow to connect the subsequent plot. (This author has been typing all day, but I'm really clumsy and typing too slowly. Please give me double monthly votes! Thank you all for your support!) [This paragraph is less than 200 words and is free.]
