With such a responsible chief planner, it would be hard for the Dimensional Festival not to be a hit.
As night fell and it gradually came to six o'clock in the evening, audience members entered the Bird's Nest with their tickets, found their seats, and quietly waited for the Dimensional Festival to begin.
It has to be said that DiliDili is indeed very confident. For its first New Year's Eve gala, it dared to hold the event at the Bird's Nest, which generated a lot of buzz online. However, if the gala is not successful, it will probably become a stain on its reputation for life and it will be ridiculed for a long time.
As time ticked by, more and more spectators entered the venue, with many loyal fans holding all sorts of light sticks, which would surely become a unique sight soon.
Many more D-Station fans who didn't have the chance to come to the Bird's Nest went to the official D-Station live stream room to watch online. Although they didn't have the lively atmosphere of the venue, they were able to chat and send bullet comments with countless netizens, which was a unique experience.
It was just past 7:30, and many netizens who love excitement were already waiting in the live stream room. Countless comments flooded the screen, creating an unprecedentedly lively atmosphere.
As a unique New Year's Eve gala, the Dimensional Gala is eagerly awaited by many media outlets to report on whether it lives up to its reputation.
Even before the gala officially started, its immense popularity had already secured the top spot on Weibo's trending topics, with various platforms discussing what unique programs and performances D-Station's New Year's Eve gala would bring.
By this time, the Bird's Nest was already packed with people, with spectators waving their light sticks. The stadium was so crowded that not a single seat was available.
As the time drew nearer, the lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, followed by a deep, resonant drumbeat, reminiscent of the drums used in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics.
Then the large screen on the stage displayed "10, 9, 8..." The fans in the audience counted down together in excitement. Accompanied by the sound of drums, the synchronized countdown swept through the entire venue like a tsunami.
As the countdown ended and the lights dimmed again, everyone eagerly awaited the various opening ceremonies of the Dimensional Festival. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the pitch-black environment—
Hey! Monster, where do you think you're going? Take this from my old Sun Wukong's staff!
In an instant, familiar memories ignited the entire audience. This was their childhood idol, the Monkey King!
Immediately, cheers rose in waves. This company truly lived up to its name, Qitian, as its opening was unlike any other TV station's New Year's Eve celebration.
As the Great Sage finished speaking, the stage lights finally came on.
The birth of the stone monkey, Flower Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, havoc in Heaven... Scenes from the animation flashed across the screen, and the dazzling lights created an outstanding visual effect on the stage. The countless audience members were overwhelmed with excitement.
Just when everyone thought this was the beginning, another voice came from the speakers: "Here comes Old Sun!"
The large door in the center of the stage, resembling a Bagua furnace, slowly opened. He was dressed in golden chainmail, wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang (golden cudgel), truly resembling a Monkey King!
Upon seeing this, the entire audience erupted in cheers once again, with shouts of "Great Sage Equal to Heaven!" echoing like a tsunami.
Meanwhile, in the D-site live stream room, everyone was frantically spamming the chat with comments, typing "tears in my eyes" into the public chat.
Accompanied by rousing music, the celestial mist that filled the center of the stage slowly dissipated, and dozens of heavenly soldiers and generals clad in silver armor appeared, engaging in battle with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
Jiang Xia watched the performance with a faint smile. The first act of the Dimensional Grand Ceremony was "Havoc in Heaven", and they even specially invited Teacher Liu, the professional actor who plays the Great Sage, to perform it. The atmosphere of the venue was pushed to a climax right from the start.
It can only be said that D-site understands today's young people too well. The Monkey King represents the youth and childhood of this generation. Seeing this monkey can bring back the emotions of childhood and touch the deepest parts of their hearts.
Unsurprisingly, shortly after "Havoc in Heaven" took the stage, the topic immediately became a trending topic on Weibo. Its unique performance style and gorgeous stage effects far surpassed those of other TV stations' New Year's Eve galas.
Now, netizens finally understand why D-Station calls its New Year's Eve gala a "Dimensional Extravaganza." Despite the lack of celebrity participation in singing, dancing, and rapping, the content and creativity were taken to the extreme, making it a true feast for young people.
In the past, anime, games, and movies had a weak presence on traditional New Year's Eve shows, serving only as scattered embellishments, and their existence was often unnoticed. However, on the D-Station New Year's Eve stage, they were the protagonists and soul of the show, and a pure land in the hearts of countless viewers.
As a result, the event sparked a huge online discussion, with screenshots of the Dimensional Gala spreading across various forums, online communities, and QQ groups. Many viewers who were originally watching other New Year's Eve galas, or users who were not interested in the event, were suddenly moved.
After all, traditional galas happen every year, but if you miss the Dimensional Gala, you might really miss it forever.
In an instant, countless netizens flooded into the D-site live stream room, with the number of online viewers exceeding three million for the first time ever.
The live broadcast camera frequently switched to shots of the 100-person symphony orchestra, striving to showcase the charm of the music and provide the audience with the ultimate audio-visual experience.
It's clear how much effort D-Station put into tonight's grand gala.
After the havoc in Heaven, came Contra, which accompanied a generation.
When the familiar background music started playing, the stage switched to the game screen, and both boys and girls cheered. Countless people seemed to have returned to that summer after school, sitting in front of the Little Tyrant learning machine, picking up the controller and trying to beat the game with only one life.
After that, Legend of Sword and Fairy and Bright Sword appeared one after another.
As the login animation for Full-Time Warriors slowly unfolded, the line "Hello, my name is Celia" once again brought the atmosphere to a climax.
