After the 10-second countdown ended, almost all the audience sitting in front of the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala stopped what they were doing and looked at the TV screen.
Familiar hosts of China TV appeared one after another, which was very familiar to viewers who were used to watching China TV.
"Which program are they on?" Zhang Yiling asked anxiously.
Zhou Yiyang knew who she was referring to. After glancing at Zhang Yiling, he said seriously, "In the middle, we'll probably have to wait for more than an hour! After all, this is the Spring Festival Gala, not our own gala. We can't possibly put them at the opening or midnight."
"I know." Zhang Yiling snorted unconvincedly, "I watched the Spring Festival Gala with my mom."
Zhang Yingyuan, who had been sitting silently on the side, suddenly spoke, which immediately reminded Zhou Yiyang of his teacher:
"When your mother was little, her biggest dislike was the Spring Festival Gala. Every time she watched it with me, she felt like it was a waste of her life. If she had been allowed to choose, I think she would have wanted to go out and have fun."
"Is that so exaggerated?" Zhang Yiling smiled. "She even took me to watch it. It seemed like you had to pay a special fee to watch domestic satellite TV. I thought at the time that she must really want to return to China."
Zhou Yiyang listened to their conversation and interrupted after a while, "Many people miss their homeland more and more after going abroad. I think when you return, you can actually nudge your mother to come back to live in China. Wouldn't that be a good idea? China is much more developed now than Australia."
"I guess she doesn't want to," Zhang Yiling sighed. "I feel like she's still holding on to something. But it doesn't matter to me anymore. I actually like China very much. If I have the chance, I'd also like to come and live in China and develop my career here."
"I've been waiting for you to come here to film a movie," Zhou Yiyang said with a smile, "By then, using the teacher's gimmick, I think we can trick a lot of people into going to the cinema."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yiling immediately snorted and said unconvincedly, "What do you mean by lying?! You're making it sound like they'll regret watching my movie! I'm not such a lowly director! I've already made up my mind. My first movie is going to win the award from all the new directors in the world!"
"Nonsense," Zhang Yingyuan chuckled. "You think this award is so easy? Look at Zhou Yiyang. He's such a talented director, but he didn't win all the newcomer awards. It's good to have confidence, but you must not be blindly arrogant. In our industry, the most feared thing is blind arrogance. That's the end of the story."
Fortunately, they didn't really quarrel, but were attracted by the performance on the stage.
Zhou Yiyang also looked up, and it happened to be the performance of the folk music band led by Ye Kongqing.
Different from their performance at the New Year's Eve Gala, the piece of music performed this time was from an ancient song, which had a higher level and viewing threshold.
However, when it is performed on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, there is no need to worry about the problem of the music being too highbrow for the general public.
In addition to pure folk music performances, a dance performance was also added.
The people dancing at this time were a group of classical dance students. Their graceful dance moves matched the ups and downs of folk music, which made many viewers in front of the TV applaud.
Su Yin was sitting backstage watching the scene with a sense of pride. She excitedly explained to He Jing's assistant, who was also He Jing's niece, "Well, the most beautiful one is my mother."
He Jing looked at Su Yin with a smile, and nodded after hearing her words: "Xiao Su, you don't know, Xiao Li and I have been to your mother's concerts several times, how could she not know Teacher Ye."
"Ah!" Su Yin blushed and stuck out her tongue awkwardly: "I didn't even know about this."
Tang Yue, who was not far away, immediately added: "Hey, Teacher He, you don't know, our little Su likes to brag about how amazing her mother is to everyone she meets. Of course, we all know that Teacher Ye is really amazing!"
At this time, the next show had arrived, which was an acrobatic performance.
Wang Xingrui was watching with great interest. When she saw some dangerous moves, she even subconsciously moved closer to Lin Xuaner.
Lin Xuan'er didn't dislike Wang Xingrui. Instead, she said seriously, "Don't worry. Since they're performing on the Spring Festival Gala, I don't know how many years they've practiced and put in so much effort and sweat just to get these few minutes today. There won't be any problems."
Although Wang Xingrui knew that Lin Xuan'er was telling the truth, she couldn't help but sigh in regret after hearing her say this: "It's really hard work for them in this industry! And honestly, I doubt the audience will remember their names after the show airs."
"That's true," He Jing's expression became serious. "So the fact that they can still persist in performing like this is actually very touching. If it were anyone else, I don't think many people would be able to stick with it. But after performing at the Spring Festival Gala, they should be able to become mainstays in local performances, and their lives will definitely improve."
The four of them listened thoughtfully, and felt more and more that they were really lucky to have achieved what they had today.
The performance time of the Spring Festival Gala goes by very quickly for many people, especially the language programs. After everyone laughed for a few times, they realized that the show had been broadcast for almost an hour.
At this time, Moonlight Girl and He Jing had already walked out of their makeup room and came to the backstage.
The hosts from China TV were very gentle. After seeing the four young girls, they even gave them some encouragement:
"It's your turn to perform soon. Are you nervous?"
The four of them shook their heads but said nothing. This reaction made it hard to believe that they weren't nervous.
Lin Xuan'er took several deep breaths and finally calmed herself down.
She was nervous, of course she was.
But now she is still very calm because she sees Teacher He Jing's fearless expression.
She suddenly understood Tang Yue and Su Yin. Knowing that there was someone in front of them, they would naturally not be so easily afraid.
Wang Xingrui cleared her throat vigorously, then smiled. Her voice was in great shape tonight, and she was sure she would give a performance that would amaze everyone.
Tang Yue and Su Yin were no longer the carefree and carefree people they used to be. They had made all the necessary preparations. Hadn't all these days of hard work been just for this song tonight?
The four of them are here for the Spring Festival Gala!
