After hearing the host's announcement, Yuan Yi walked from backstage onto the stage.
Wearing a Zhongshan suit, Yuan Yi looked like a young man who had stepped out of the Republic of China era.
This was accompanied by precious historical documents and photographs displayed on a large screen behind them.
As Yuan Yi stood in the center of the stage, the accompaniment began at the opportune moment.
The version Yuan Yi sang this time was originally sung by Li Guyi, not the version later adapted by Wang Tianhou.
Therefore, the singing style he used this time was not the popular pop singing style.
Right from the start, the resounding bugle call echoed throughout the entire No. 1 studio of CCTV.
The addition of various instruments immediately made the intro of this song grand and majestic.
After the intro, Yuan Yi stood up in the center of the stage and looked at the crowd below, then spoke!
"My country and I are inseparable!!"
"Wherever I go, a hymn of praise flows forth!!"
"I sing of every mountain, I sing of every river!"
Yuan Yi's unique singing style resounded across the stage!
Even the many singers who had heard Yuan Yi rehearse before were still deeply moved.
At this moment, the many leaders below the stage listened to Yuan Yi's high-pitched singing, which was filled with special emotion.
They couldn't help but nod and praise!
Among the many bigwigs, a man around fifty years old from the State Administration of Radio and Television frowned.
"Who let him go on stage?"
At that moment, a surge of anger welled up in the man's heart.
How could he not recognize the man who was taking the stage? This was someone his sister had personally instructed him to take on.
As the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in Beijing, he was responsible for approving all TV dramas, movies, and music activities.
For an artist, he is like a provider who holds the power of life and death over them.
Artists who dared to disobey the orders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television have all disappeared into the annals of history.
Although the man was furious, he was surrounded by powerful figures.
Anyone could crush his existence, so he was furious that this person, who had been blacklisted by him, could still appear on CCTV's stage.
Therefore, we can only call to inquire after the party ends.
Yuan Yi's song "Me and My Motherland" is three minutes and thirty seconds long.
After he finished singing, he bowed, took his bow, and turned to walk backstage.
At this moment, enthusiastic applause erupted from below the stage.
Especially the group of men sitting in the first row right in the center of the stage, their faces revealed a satisfied expression.
At that moment, in the main monitoring room backstage, Lin Weiqi saw the smiles on the faces of many big shots in the front row through the cameras.
The tension in my heart lessened a bit at this moment, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Pay attention to the timing, the host is coming on stage!"
Just after Yuan Yi stepped off the stage, a male and a female host also stepped onto the stage with big smiles on their faces.
"Liu Yang, what did you think of Yuan Yi's rendition of 'Me and My Motherland' just now?"
At this moment, the female host, Tang Ke, smiled and asked the male host, Liu Yang.
Upon hearing Tang Ke's question, Liu Yang immediately gave her a thumbs up.
"To put it in my less-than-professional understanding, this song transcends spatial and geographical limitations, reaching an unsurpassable height in terms of aesthetics and sentiment, and is filled with a sincere love for the motherland!"
"It has to be said that since Yuan Yi's sudden resurgence, every piece of his work has been closely related to our motherland."
The two hosts were incredibly generous with their praise of Yuan Yi, using no two words of compliment to the same person.
"Alright, stop praising him! If you keep praising him, Yuan Yi will be too embarrassed to come out and sing!"
"Alright, next please welcome our singers Zhang Hongqing and Ye Liying to perform 'Red Memories'!!!"
After they finished speaking, they bowed again and left the stage.
The two people they just mentioned, one of whom is a veteran artist from the General Political Department's Art Troupe, who used to frequently perform for troops.
Now he is over sixty years old and rarely appears on stage anymore.
Lin Weiqi personally went to great lengths to invite him out for this centennial celebration.
This song, "Red Memories," is considered one of the old man's representative works.
It tells the story of the development of the revolutionary base areas and the hardships of the War of Resistance Against Japan!
The entire gala lasted four hours, so it couldn't have been all singing.
There are also stage plays, dances, and other performances featuring red elements.
Overall, the entire gala had a red theme.
Naturally, holding this gala on the eve of National Day is also a way of sending blessings for the National Day tomorrow.
Many netizens are on holiday today, and there's also the live broadcast from CCTV.
The number of viewers in the live stream tonight is comparable to, or even greater than, the number of viewers during the Spring Festival Gala.
People may not be very interested in the Spring Festival Gala, but it is very popular among modern young people.
This kind of red-themed gala is more likely to attract their attention than the Spring Festival Gala!
At this moment, in various live stream rooms, netizens are posting their comments in the chat!
[Am I seeing things? Yuan Yi is the first performer, right? Wasn't he blacklisted?]
[Exactly! I'm wondering the same thing! Logically speaking, who would dare to hire him after he's been blacklisted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television?]
Even CCTV wouldn't dare! They're also working under the guidance of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television!
[You guys are really ignorant! This gala was organized under the guidance of the Central Propaganda Department, which supervises the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, let alone the Beijing branch of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television!!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Yuan Yi was able to get out!]
[Don't you guys even consider that after Yuan Yi's comeback, first he sang revolutionary songs for the Japanese, then he came back and wrote songs for the space agency, and then he joined the Three Kingdoms Music Exchange Conference, which was even organized by the cultural department!]
[Every single thing he does is linked to the authorities, and the songs he writes are all incredibly popular! I really can't understand why the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in Beijing would ban him!!]
[Yeah! This is a slap in the face! They were banned a couple of days ago, and then they were on CCTV-1's live gala!]
[I really don't know what this deputy director of the Beijing Guangfen branch was thinking! He slandered people out of thin air! Now he's been proven wrong!]
[I heard Yuan Yi isn't just performing this one song today! There are two more coming up!]
Yes, yes, I heard that too, each song is more popular than the last!
[According to the rules, Yuan Yi should be banned, but he appeared singing "Principles"! They couldn't do anything about it!!]
[This is absolutely hilarious, such an unexpected turn of events!!!]
