Chapter 816 As Wish

On New Year’s Eve, people across the country and even Chinese people all over the world are paying attention to the annual Spring Festival Gala.

Since CCTV held the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, it seems to have become a tradition for Chinese people to watch the Spring Festival Gala with the whole family on the night of March 30th.

In recent years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala seem to be declining year by year, and its reputation is not satisfactory, but on a global scale, the influence of the Spring Festival Gala is growing.

This influence has little to do with the quality of the program, but is entirely due to the country itself becoming increasingly powerful.

As the saying goes, a poor person in a busy city is ignored, but a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.

The same applies to countries.

As China's international status grows, the traditional Chinese festival Spring Festival and even the nationally-anticipated Spring Festival Gala are attracting more and more attention from people in more countries.

Mountain City TL District.

After dinner, Tian Xiwei watched the Spring Festival Gala with her parents in the living room.

Oda is a native of the mountain city. Both his parents are office workers and his family conditions are above average.

She was able to study acting at the Shanghai Theatre Academy entirely because of her good innate qualities and her desire to become a star.

"I feel this year's Spring Festival Gala programs are pretty good, better than the previous two years."

Oda's mother was holding a handful of melon seeds and cracking them while watching TV.

As a skit ended, she nodded slightly and commented.

"There are a lot of stars this year, and the comedy shows are also pretty good," said Oda's father.

Tian Xiwei, wearing a cute light yellow pajamas and sitting cross-legged on the sofa, was a little surprised.

"Dad, do you know any celebrities here?"

“How could I not recognize him, your father is not old yet.

I know Liu Dehua, Wu Jing, Zhen Zidan, and those people who just sang. The guy standing in the middle is Li Xian from your company, right? "

Tian Xiwei blinked her big eyes and nodded.

"Yes, that's right. The one who was singing just now was indeed our company's brother. Do you know the two female celebrities next to him?"

"Um, those two girls look very familiar. The one on the left in the red skirt seems to be the heroine in that TV series you starred in a few years ago. Her name was something like Ba, right?"

“My name is Dilraba Dilmurat, and I’m from the frontier.

I played her assistant in You Are My Glory, and that was my first time acting in a TV series.”

"Yes, yes, it seems her name is Dilireba."

Xiaotian's mother laughed and said, "When has your father ever cared about who these celebrities are? The celebrities he knows are either from the same company as you, or have filmed with you.

Your father has watched all the dramas you have filmed and introduced them to relatives and colleagues around him.

Every time he talks about you to others, your father is so proud, saying that his daughter is very outstanding and is a big star."

After listening to her mother, Tian Xiwei turned around and looked at her father in surprise.

In her impression, her father was always very serious and stern, but she didn't expect that her father would have this side when she was not at home.

"Ahem~"

Oda's father was a little embarrassed.

“It’s not as exaggerated as your mother said.

In fact, I was not very optimistic about your choice of acting as a career, but since you like it and insist on it, I cannot stop you from pursuing your dream.

Dad didn't expect that your career would develop so well right after graduating from college.

There’s not much we can do to help you at home, and you’re usually busy with work so we can’t disturb you. Your mom and I can only pay more attention to your work.”

Tian Xiwei was a little moved after hearing what her father said.

"How can it not help? You two gave birth to me, so beautiful and so cute, which is the biggest help to me!

In the entertainment industry, appearance is justice."

Her words made both her parents laugh.

"My Weiwei is the prettiest. My mom says she's also the prettiest among all the female celebrities!"

Tian Xiwei's mother looked at her daughter and praised her.

In the eyes of parents, their own children are definitely the most beautiful.

Although Tian Xiwei had just praised herself, her mother's words still made her feel a little embarrassed.

She scratched her head and said, "Uh~ It's not that exaggerated. Although I have confidence in myself, there are too many beauties in the entertainment industry.

The Reba sister just now is much prettier than me, otherwise she wouldn’t have played the leading actress and I wouldn’t have played her assistant.”

"You and she are not of the same type, my daughter is no worse than anyone else.

Your performance as Fan Ruoruo in last year's Joy of Life was particularly beautiful. The female colleagues in my unit praised you whenever they met, saying that you played Wei Wei so well, and that you were both beautiful and likable."

After hearing what her mother said, Tian Xiwei smiled and said, "It's okay. It's mainly because the character's personality is good. It's all arranged by the company."

2020 is definitely a year of harvest for Tian Xiwei.

【Joy of Life】was a huge hit, and her role as "Fan Ruoruo" became popular and loved by many audiences.

The TV series "So Cute We Are" starring her last year was also broadcast online.

Although the performance was average, it was her first leading role after all, and it received a lot of praise within a small circle.

With two dramas and the operation of the company, she has become almost as famous as a second- or third-tier actress in the circle despite having just graduated.

“You were really lucky to sign with Weiming Tianxia, ​​and the past two years have been very smooth.

I heard that in the entertainment industry, it is difficult to get good acting opportunities without a strong company.

Even if you get a role because of your ability, there is still a possibility that someone with connections will replace you."

Tian Xiwei nodded.

"Now that I think about it, I was really lucky. When the crew of You Are My Glory came to our school to select actors, they chose me right away.

This led to the subsequent signing.

If I hadn't seized this opportunity, I might be running around looking for small supporting roles in some unknown crews.

Many of my classmates are like this.

Some who insist on pursuing a career in acting are looking for opportunities to play minor roles, while others simply give up their acting careers and switch to other fields.

I have my boss to thank for this. If he hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have been able to join the company.

The fact that I have such great resources now is all thanks to my boss, for example, the role of "Fan Ruoruo" in Joy of Life was a role he arranged for me."

At first, Xiaotian simply admired Gu Wei because he was her favorite idol star.

Later we had the opportunity to work together, and the imaginary idol and the real person overlapped, but the charm was not diminished at all.

After signing the contract with the other company, she felt very grateful to Gu Wei for all the years they had gone together.

Her family conditions are average and cannot provide her with any support. When she sees the development of her classmates and compares it with her own current situation, her gratitude becomes even stronger.

Oda's father nodded and said, "Since the company and the boss value you, you should work harder. This is both a responsibility to yourself and a reward for the company."

"I know," Tian Xiwei nodded in agreement.

"I remember your boss also has a performance on the Spring Festival Gala. When will he be on stage?" asked Xiaotian's mother.

"The boss's show is one of the last. Given his fame and status, he's definitely going to be the finale. It should be before midnight."

On TV, the Spring Festival Gala programs followed one after another. Soon more than two hours passed. The time was getting closer to 12 o'clock, and the three members of the Xiaotian family in the living room were feeling a little sleepy.

After Li Yundi's piano solo ended, the host came on stage and said some connecting words. Tian Xiwei immediately became energetic.

Because the next program is the boss’s solo song [As Wish].

The stage of the Spring Festival Gala was completely dark, and the melodious sound of the piano slowly floated out. When it came back on, Gu Wei, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, was already standing in the center of the stage.

His solo did not have any dancers, but the entire stage and the big screen behind began to show various edited images to match his song.

"You are the long road

Lights in the mountain fog

I am a child

Walking in your eyes"

Different from Gu Wei's previous songs, the beginning of "As Wish" is a bit plain and the melody is not surprising, but it sounds very comfortable, like the gurgling water, and the emotions slowly penetrate into the hearts of every listener.

As the song played, clips from historical movies and TV series appeared on the big screen behind him.

From the May Fourth Movement to the formal founding of our Party, in that turbulent era, countless passionate young people and people of lofty ideals stepped forward, all hoping to save the country and the nation in their own ways.

".And I will love the world you love

May the smile you wish for

I'm stumbling around holding your hand

Please take me to tomorrow"

After the previous two sections of preparation, the song smoothly enters its climax. Gu Wei’s singing of [As Wish] is a bit like Li Jian’s version. His magnetic voice makes the song extremely emotional.

On the big screen behind him, the young chairman was standing in front of a group of armed peasants and speaking to them passionately. It was the scene of the Autumn Harvest Uprising.

Then came the fierce war scene, with countless figures in military uniforms fearlessly charging on the battlefield, not retreating even if their heads were broken and bleeding.

"If you were ever bitterer than my sweetness

I want to live your wish

I hope it will not be in vain and I hope to move forward courageously

This prosperous era is every day.”

Accompanied by the singing, the audience seemed to be back in that war-torn era, where the ancestors sacrificed their lives and shed their blood just so that their descendants could have a peaceful and stable life.

They did it, shedding their blood to lay the foundation for the current peaceful and prosperous era for future generations.

As the song continued, various important historical scenes appeared on the big screen along with Gu Wei's singing.

The Long March of the Red Army, the Zunyi Conference, the July 7 Incident, and all the way to the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China.

"The mountains and rivers are safe and sound, and fireworks are common

But you look as you wish

Sleep well, children.

As you love deeply."

The song reaches its final climax, and the video gradually moves to modern times.

Various skyscrapers rise from the ground in the city, high-speed trains are speeding, and rockets are taking off.

".I will also see the world you have never seen

Write the poem you haven't written yet

The moon in the sky and the thoughts in my heart

You are always by my side

Make an appointment with you for a clear life

Like your young face!"

Finally, the five-star red flag in Tiananmen Square was slowly raised. An old soldier with white hair and wrinkles on his face looked at the national flag and slowly raised his hand to salute. The camera turned and the old soldier turned into his younger appearance, wearing a worn Eighth Route Army uniform, saluting and smiling happily.

As the song ended, thunderous applause broke out at the Spring Festival Gala.

In the millions of families watching TV, countless people shed tears.

"Your boss sings really well. I still remember his songs in the Spring Festival Gala a few years ago. Every one of them is a classic.

But this song [As Wish] is particularly good! "

Gu Wei had already left the TV, and Tian Xiwei's father sighed with red eyes.

Men are more rational than women, but they tend to be more immersed in emotions related to the country and nation.

“Indeed, it was sung very well.

Unfortunately, his boss doesn't take singing seriously, so it's easy for him to achieve success in the music field with his abilities.

Although he hasn’t released many songs since his debut, every one of them is a masterpiece.”

Finally, when the boss's show was over, Tian Xiwei stretched and yawned.

She was really sleepy, but there was one thing she couldn't forget before going to bed.

I no longer paid attention to what was going on in the Spring Festival Gala. Instead, I took out my phone, opened WeChat, and wrote a New Year's greeting message to my boss.

CCTV backstage.

After Gu Wei's performance ended, the chief director Chen Linchun in the control room also breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the backstage data, the ratings for the entire evening show remained generally stable, and there was a significant increase when Gu Wei came on stage.

Overall, the results are better than last year.

"What are the reviews of the party online?"

After looking at the data, he asked the young-looking staff member standing beside him.

"Director Chen, I checked various platforms and the overall reviews of this year's gala are quite good, especially Gu Wei's performance [As Wish Comes True], which was praised by everyone online!

Gu Wei’s return to the Spring Festival Gala stage this year was a surprise to everyone.

Everyone is very satisfied with his performance.”

Director Chen nodded, stood up straight and watched the Spring Festival Gala still going on on the monitor.

"It's worth it that I asked someone to invite Gu Wei to perform. All those favors were finally not in vain."

Chen Linchun is an old employee of CCTV and he is very familiar with the situations of previous Spring Festival Galas.

In recent years, not only have the ratings been declining, but the reviews have also been getting worse year by year, and the audience's evaluation of the Spring Festival Gala has been getting lower and lower.

Now the position of chief director of CCTV Spring Festival Gala is no longer a sought-after position, but rather a bit useless.

Many senior directors with experience and status in CCTV are unwilling to take on this thankless job.

He was appointed as the chief director this year by his superiors, so there was no way he could refuse.

In order to make this year's Spring Festival Gala a success, Chen Linchun thought of many ways, and inviting Gu Wei, who had left the Spring Festival Gala stage for several years, to return was one of them.

It now seems that the effect is surprisingly good.

On the Internet, Gu Wei's "Wish Come True" ended, and various comments flooded in.

#Gu Wei sings [As Wish] at the Spring Festival Gala# quickly rose to the second place on the hot search list.

The first is #2021Year of the Ox Spring Festival Gala#

[Another song dedicated to the nation. As expected, whenever Gu Wei performs on the Spring Festival Gala, he's a huge hit. The melody is beautiful, and the lyrics are even more touching. Honestly, I couldn't help but shed tears when I listened to it.]

[A perfect song, an even more perfect interpretation. The biggest feature of Gu Wei's songs is that they are full of emotions and can always make you deeply involved in them.

Finally, let me say that the years are peaceful and the mountains and rivers are safe. Thank you to our ancestors for their efforts!

I originally thought it was a slow-paced ballad, but I ended up crying after listening to it.

Good songs can always touch people's hearts. "As Wish" is definitely the best song in this year's Spring Festival Gala!

[“I will also see worlds you have not seen, and write poems you have not written” The lyrics are so well written, and the climax is on a magical loop in my mind.

We are grateful for the contributions of our ancestors. We will inherit their legacy and forge ahead!

[I would like to call it the best song of 2021. It turns out that if the Chinese entertainment industry wants to stand up, it has to rely on Gu Wei, an actor who is just playing around.]
