"Hey, Teacher Li, I remember you were also an opera actor before, right?" asked the host Sister Wang with a smile.
The other host next to him nodded vigorously, with an expression of nostalgia.
"Yeah, that was more than ten years ago."
"Then I want to ask you, is there a saying in your industry that goes, 'One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage'?"
"Of course," the male host smiled faintly. "It's not just us. The same was true for those outstanding acrobats in our last show. I believe that outstanding talents from all walks of life have put in countless efforts and sweat backstage."
Sister Wang smiled and nodded, "Indeed, and tonight we have two young friends who will share their stories of hard work and struggle. Please enjoy the skit 'Ten Years of Hard Work Behind the Scenes' performed by Luo Chen and Ling Hu."
Many young people in front of the TV, especially female friends, suddenly raised their heads.
Judging from their excited expressions, they must be looking forward to the next show for a long time.
"Mom, this is Ling Hu, my favorite actor!" The little girl said proudly at home. Her cousin's favorite actor Gao Yanyan has been completely left behind.
"Oh, I know. Haven't we seen his dramas?" Mother smiled. "I remember Luo Chen too. I watch all of his dramas, including the four girls from Moonlight Girl. After all, it's rare for a drama to be bad."
"But skits are different from TV dramas," the man at home shook his head. "It's not easy for a young person to take on the leading role alone."
At this time, the stage set was ready, with the words "Star Show Competition" written on the back.
Ling Hu took a deep breath. Not only did he change into a simple jacket, but even his temperament changed.
He stood awkwardly in front of the microphone, looking like an amateur who was performing on stage for the first time.
"Xiao Hu, right? Start your talent show!"
No one expected that the young boy would start singing in a standard opera tune as soon as he opened his mouth.
At this moment, the middle-aged and elderly audiences who like to listen to opera have not changed the channel yet. After hearing Ling Hu's voice, they all looked up in surprise.
"This young man can really sing opera?"
"It must be a temporary practice, and the energy is still a little weak. But to be able to reach this level is quite impressive."
"This child is quite handsome, and he has the potential to be a martial artist!"
Fans who like Ling Hu all opened their mouths wide, looking stunned.
What? Ling Hu is singing? Is this really the Ling Hu they like?
They were filled with surprise, but they couldn't say it out loud, so they just held their breath and continued reading.
At some point, the host, Sister Wang, took her seat at the front of the stage. She crossed her legs, a sunflower on her head, and shook her head pretentiously, "Stop, stop, stop! This is a star show, not a musical performance! Our audience is all around twenty years old! Can you sing a song or dance?"
"Singing is fine." Ling Hu smiled flatteringly, then immediately took a deep breath and sang a passage from Moonlight Girl's "Where Has the Time Gone" loudly.
However, he sang it in an operatic voice, which had a very unique flavor and immediately made many in the audience laugh out loud.
"Get off! Next one! How did you get through this audition?!"
"Teacher, I can also play the role of Lao Sheng and Dan Guo!" Ling Hu used three kinds of timbre in just one sentence, but still failed to attract the favor of the teacher.
When he stepped down, he unexpectedly stepped on empty air...
The sound of an ambulance echoed from the speakers, and when the curtain opened again, the scene had changed.
It was a simple and plain little house. The most conspicuous thing on the ground was a somewhat old training mat, and hanging on the walls were portraits of famous opera masters.
Ling Hu walked out of a door with a sign saying "Outing General".
He glanced around the room, and his expression changed instantly:
"Isn't this my home from ten years ago? These are my toys! This is my training mat! This is a photo of me on stage!"
He smiled slightly and said to the audience, "I get it, this is a reality show! This is so realistic!"
It wasn't until he saw a piece of clothing hanging in the corner and was about to lift it that he realized it was a person.
"This is... me?"
"Thief!"
Ling Hu and Luo Chen spoke at the same time. The handsome Luo Chen looked even more handsome and dashing after putting on the costume, which made many female audiences scream excitedly.
Ye Kongqing's eyes lit up when he saw this: "Time travel? Is this the first time this kind of theme has been used in the Spring Festival Gala?"
"It's about keeping up with the times," Zhou Yiyang said calmly. "I also want to thank the Spring Festival Gala's management for giving me the greatest creative freedom."
Ye Kongqing understood what he meant.
However, this was the first time that time travel was featured as a skit on the Spring Festival Gala, sparking interest among many young people. Even middle-aged and elderly audiences were not averse to the theme due to the popularity of time travel dramas.
Ling Hu was stunned. This was him ten years ago!
He took a deep breath, finally stepped on the bench, and raised his hand to the poster hanging on the wall.
With a gentle touch, he pulled out a photo: "Tangtang's photo!"
Tang Yue, who was suddenly cueed, burst into laughter backstage and blew a kiss to them.
Luo Chen stared at Ling Hu with a subtle expression: "You broke into a private house, you are a robber! Give the photos back to me!"
"This is actually my home..." Ling Hu said helplessly.
"Do you still want to say that you traveled through time?" Luo Chen said disdainfully, "Do you still want to say that you are me ten years later?"
"That's right!" Ling Hu slapped his thigh fiercely, "I was really smart when I was a kid! If it weren't for this, you'd probably find it hard to believe..."
"I believe it!" Luo Chen spun around and placed the red tasseled spear on the ground, looking majestic and confident. "I'm the only one who knows where Tangtang's photo is hidden! Finally, this kind of time travel thing has finally happened to me!"
He chuckled and said, "Are you me in twenty years?"
Ling Hu's face immediately fell: "There's such a youngest? Ten years later!"
"Oh, did I get into college later?" Luo Chen rubbed his hands with a very lifelike expression.
"I got in," Ling Hu said proudly, "Huaxia Opera Academy!"
"I really passed the exam! That's great! Then, Tangtang and I, the two of us..."
Without waiting for Luo Chen to continue to hesitate, Ling Hu waved his hand and said, "I caught up with Tangtang, but we broke up again."
Luo Chen smiled at first, then scratched his head shyly: "It's okay, it's good enough as long as I have had it."
Many male audience members smiled bitterly.
Luo Chen finally mustered up the courage to ask the most important question: "Did I become a star later on?"
"No..." Ling Hu blurted out, and noticing Luo Chen's expression was off, he immediately replied with a line from a song: "Nothing can stop me from yearning for freedom!"
They sang the lyrics in a theatrical voice in perfect harmony, which triggered another round of laughter.
Su Yin breathed a sigh of relief. This beginning should be safe. At least she wouldn't be scolded by the audience.
