Chapter 357 Taiwan Celebration Night

November 19th of every year is TBB's annual Taiwan Anniversary. Therefore, during this period, various large-scale comprehensive programs will be held to celebrate the Taiwan Anniversary.

The theme of tonight's National Taiwan Anniversary is called "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Good Luck to the National Taiwan Anniversary." As the name suggests, all the male and female artists in Taiwan will be divided into the Dragon Group composed of all male artists and the Phoenix Group composed of all female artists. The leading big brother/sister-level artists of each group will be the team leader and arrange the team members to arrange the programs.

In such a competitive moment, singing and dancing are just appetizers. Various high-difficulty acrobatics and creative special performances are endless...

The group that is most popular and gets the most points will be the final winner of tonight's Taiwan Anniversary program.

Such large-scale programs usually have a final heavyweight performance to close out the show, so the last show this time is the joint song and dance performance "Drunk Tonight" by six singers: Luo Yun, Wang Ningquan, Mei Yanshuang, Chen Jie Ning, Zhang Querong, and Chen Baiyang. Together with the countless first-, second-, and third-tier artists who performed before, the stage tonight is truly star-studded.

Most importantly, tonight is the last time that "Ah Jie" Wang Ningquan said she would publicly perform modern songs and dances: because she has been openly and covertly targeted by Taiwan, she has stepped from being an amateur to a career in singing Cantonese opera since last year, and has been a great success, breaking the box office record of the Cantonese opera stage in Hong Kong, so she has gradually developed the mentality of fading out of the modern singing circle.

Although Wang Ningquan returned to singing modern songs after the problems in Taiwan were resolved, the period of absence from the stage was not due to interest but political influence, which made Su Yun feel depressed and annoyed.

Wang Ningquan was not only born in the mainland with a good family background, but she was also a long-term representative of the Hong Kong and Macao region in the National People's Congress. She is truly loyal to the motherland. At the same time, it is also because of this issue that she is always targeted by Taiwan. It is also because of this strength that she has the confidence to fight and has persisted for so many years.

As someone who has also been targeted by Taiwan, Su Yun not only empathizes with the situation, but also shares the same hatred for the enemy.

"Don't you know that my movies have never performed very well at the box office? And there's also the influence of Taiwan..." In the dressing room, Wang Ningquan was a little surprised when she heard Su Yun say that she wanted to invite her to make a movie.

It’s not that she hasn’t tried to move from the small screen to the big screen. On the contrary, like many other artists, she also has the determination and dream to enter the big screen. Unfortunately, I don’t know why, she was very successful on the small screen, and her performance after going to the big screen was not bad, but it was not as smooth as when she acted in TV dramas on the small screen.

After a series of unsatisfactory box office performances, Wang Ningquan had no choice but to give up his dream of entering the big screen and concentrate on his television drama and singing careers.

In the Hong Kong music scene, she is the first female artist to rise to prominence by singing TV drama songs, and is also one of the pioneers of the Cantonese song movement following Xu Gujie.

"That's why I have to invite you to participate in my movie." Su Yun said very seriously, "No matter your ability or your qualifications, you should go further than you are now - it's just because of those undue political influences that have hindered your development."

Su Yunxiao spoke with emotion and reason, and mentioned that the male lead co-starring with her was Zhang Querong, who was her dance partner tonight, and that this "Ladder of Love", adapted from a true story, was intended to win an award. After that, Wang Ningquan's expression was obviously somewhat relaxed...

"Besides, I've always remembered your help back then." Su Yun said this with a naughty wink, "But don't think I'm doing this to repay you. I just think you're particularly suitable for this role."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it..." In fact, if Su Yun hadn't had new tricks and news about her all the time, she would have probably forgotten about this easy favor very quickly. It was only when Su Yun's status and value skyrocketed that she would remember how difficult and desperate the journey was for the little girl who had to make a living alone when she saw news about Su Yun from time to time.

I just didn't expect that a person like Su Yun would still remember the ancient saying of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of water...

"I'll think about it. Let's make an appointment to discuss it in detail after the performance tonight." Wang Ningquan finally nodded.

With hope for the heroine, Su Yun's worries were relieved. After saying goodbye to Wang Ningquan and leaving her single dressing room, Su Yun planned to go to the double dressing room: she would have to show her face on the stage to liven up the atmosphere, and she had to put on a heavier makeup to adapt to the stage photography at night.

"Hey, Lesley, aren't you going on stage soon? What are you still doing here?" Su Yun asked curiously when she saw Zhang Querong leaning against a room with his head tilted.

"Hey, I saw a paparazzi who was with Taiwan tonight came here and made a phone call. He said he wanted to report on Danny's concert later..." Zhang Querong sighed and pulled her to his side, explaining in a low voice, "It seems that they got some inside information about Danny's clothes from somewhere, so they plan to use it to make a fuss to attract attention..."

"These paparazzi are just so gossipy. But it's nothing if one or two stage looks are leaked. He has prepared many stage looks to match the stage effects. Just think of it as free publicity." Su Yun is used to the so-called "exclusive insider information" leaked by these paparazzi, so she doesn't care much about this.

"You're right. Even if a few of his looks are leaked in advance, it's hard for others to copy him. After all, the effect he shows is not something that anyone can pull off." Zhang Querong nodded thoughtfully, "But I still have to find a chance to mention it to him."

"Then you have to be careful. He has high expectations for the next concert and doesn't like to hear other people raise opposing opinions." Su Yun had said a little sarcastically before, and Chen Boyan and Zhang Querong said that she was a bit conservative.

"I'll pay attention." Zhang Querong held up his coat and said, "I'm going out first. Danny's team just finished their song and dance performance. My team will be next."

For seemingly short-lived song and dance performances like this, where one person sings a few lines, it still depends on their status: he and Chen Baiyang are both young rising stars who have become famous recently, so they will have about ten seconds of solo performance footage; if it were an artist lower than them, they would just have to show their faces among a group of people.

However, correspondingly, they cannot take advantage of this kind of performance and have to follow the team and stand in the front position of this group.

"Go ahead. I'll be going up soon after your performance." Su Yun waved her hand. "See you on the stage later."

I have to say being a senior executive does have its advantages. Apart from the final heavyweight show when you have to go on stage to show your face, you can sit in the front row below the stage to watch the show, eat and drink while watching the artists on the stage perform hard.

There were really many varieties of programs tonight, including a hilarious stage play with a bizarre plot, a large-scale visual effects magic show performed outdoors, and wonderful acrobatics performed by beautiful girls and handsome boys, etc. Su Yun was very excited to watch it.

Of course, the time spent happily watching a show in the audience always passed by especially quickly. After one show after another passed, it was finally the turn of "I'm Drunk Tonight" sung by a group of stars.

After the chorus finished singing the particularly cheerful song selection at the beginning, the first person to come out to perform solo was Mei Yanshuang. The white suit she wore after her skillful hands was even more eye-catching than the other two handsome guys who were also wearing white suits...

Su Yun stood in the middle of the left side of the stage. A little to the right was Chen Baiyang, who was standing on the far left of the line of six. From Chen Baiyang onwards were Chen Jie Ning, Luo Yun, Wang Ningquan, Zhang Que Rong and Mei Yan Shuang.

Because Chen Jie Ning was also wearing a white top and dark pants, at first glance, Wang Ningquan in a golden dress and Luo Yun in a blue suit stood out more.

In order to match the theme, Mei Yanshuang's first song to perform was "Keep You Tonight", one of her recent popular songs.

This is a very passionate and dynamic fast song, coupled with her casual and unrestrained dance steps, it won a lot of applause at the beginning.

At the end of the large-scale comprehensive shows these days, most people on the stage are having a great time. If Su Yun hadn't been scanned by cameras from time to time, she would have wanted to join the long queue of people behind her who were having a lot of fun...

Compared to the salty fish who was standing in a good position but felt that it was better to retreat and fish, Zhang Querong, who performed after Mei Yanshuang, was very able to let go and restrain himself. Except for jumping around for a while and having fun with the dancers, and then singing the song "Monica" by the dearest sister out of turn...

"Are you still blaming him for singing the wrong lyrics of your song 'I Just Like You'?" Su Yun leaned over and whispered to Chen Boyang.

Chen Boyang looked speechlessly at Zhang Querong, who was humming vaguely after forgetting the words, and sighed. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes and gestures were very obvious - it seemed that he had given up on treating his old friend who had severe amnesia...

Compared to Chen Boyang's giving up treatment, Zhang Querong, after the performance, quietly glanced at his old friend who was separated from him by several people when he returned to the team, with a worried look on his face.

Fortunately, after Kit Chan and Po-Yang Chen performed without any problems, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: the solo performance segment was over, and it seemed that the paparazzi would not cause trouble tonight.

Not knowing that his good brothers were worried about him and had stopped joining in the fun with the crowd, after performing his song and dance "A Pink Life", Chen Boyang turned around and held Wang Ningquan's hand in a particularly interesting way, indicating that Wang Ningquan would be the next performer.

Zhang Querong also quickly prepared himself and, as his male companion, escorted Wang Ningquan to the center of the stage.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Querong circled around and got back to the line, his long-time nemesis Zhou Yuanfa, who was having a great time in the crowd behind him, suddenly came out from the side and grabbed him with his height and size advantage. He raised his hand and forced him to follow up with a female step...
