“Our deal is over, what else is there to talk about?” Chen Tiansheng said in a low voice.
"Would it be alright if I invited you for tea?" Xiao Yun smiled and walked over.
A gentle breeze stirs, her dress clings to her body, and the scenery is instantly revealed, utterly alluring.
"Please have some tea with me!" Chen Tiansheng touched his nose and followed.
The stadium and the auditorium.
In the observation seats, Li Shi sat with Xiao Yun, holding the program list and explaining it to her from time to time.
This grand event has attracted the attention of not only people across the country, but also people all over the world.
We must make this a success, no matter what.
At the same time, this is also a great opportunity to promote Zhonghai City to the world.
The performances must have cultural significance, allowing media from all over the world to spread the traditional culture of China through their cameras.
Therefore, Li Shi decided that the opening ceremony would begin in a traditional Chinese style.
It showcases the cultural essence of this great nation to the world and allows Chinese people to appreciate the profoundness of their motherland's culture.
The program will begin with a grand and impressive dance using movable type.
Afterwards, ancient sages will appear and recite poems to wish for the success of this grand event.
The third segment featured the singers taking the stage and performing songs.
The song to be performed will be determined at this rehearsal.
As for which singer it is, it's Li Yaoji, a singer from Kyushu Entertainment...
Xiao Yun nodded, "Let's do as the committee member arranges!"
"I will not interfere in any of your affairs!"
"But there is one condition: it must be done well."
"Seize this opportunity to fully showcase the best aspects of China Overseas."
"And through the lens of various media, we will promote our history and culture to the world."
"OK."
"We will certainly live up to Mayor Xiao's expectations and will definitely make this grand event a success," Li Shi nodded repeatedly and said.
"Mm." Xiao Yun nodded.
“Let’s begin,” she said.
"Begin." Li Shi waved to a staff member beside him.
The staff member immediately took out a walkie-talkie and said a few words.
Then, the lights above the seats immediately went out.
On the stage, spotlights immediately shone.
As a soothing melody played, a group of performers walked onto the stage and began their performance.
They first displayed a line of text that read, "Grand Universiade, let's celebrate this prosperous era together."
"Boom!" The music suddenly changed from soothing to intense, and they started dancing along.
The dance was grand and magnificent, truly breathtaking.
"Excellent, excellent." Applause immediately erupted from the viewing platform after the performance.
“Okay.” Chen Tiansheng, who was sitting in another corner, also nodded and clapped.
"They've brought our country's engraving techniques to life with such vividness; it seems they've put a lot of thought into it," said Shi Jing, who was sitting on the side.
"This must be the work of a great director; otherwise, some of the minute details would be impossible for an average director to capture," Chen Tiansheng said.
"Hmm." Shi Jing nodded.
"The Dragon Kingdom has a history spanning millennia; today, its national fortunes are prosperous, and everyone enjoys peace."
"As someone who has traveled from a thousand years ago, I am also incredibly proud of the achievements our country has made today."
"I have composed a poem as a congratulatory gift!" The movable type disappeared into the artificial smoke, and a huge screen displayed a pattern from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, with the various schools of thought vying for attention.
The camera moves through the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, finally settling on present-day China.
Confucius descended from the clouds, and looking at the rows of tall buildings, military equipment, and the smiles of the people, he was greatly satisfied. He opened the bamboo slips and recited a poem aloud.
"The second program introduced the history of the Dragon Kingdom over thousands of years in a time-travel style, which was very unique and excellent," Xiao Yun praised.
"We put a lot of thought into this program."
"After all, it is quite difficult to fully present the history of the Dragon Kingdom within a limited time."
"I thought about this for a long time before I came up with this plan," Li Shi said excitedly after receiving Xiao Yun's praise.
On the stage, several more sages appeared, offering their blessings for the grand event through sword dances and poetry recitations.
The last to appear was the strategist Sun Tzu, who lightly tapped his sword and said, "May the Dragon Kingdom be forever at peace, and may the world never see war again."
Finally, it disappeared into the clouds.
"Great, that's wonderful."
"Clap clap clap..." The applause from the viewing platform grew even more enthusiastic and continued unabated.
But Chen Tiansheng did not applaud.
"Why isn't Mr. Chen clapping? Isn't it a good look?" Shi Jing asked.
"Of course it looks good."
"But the last actor's actions were not in line with the style of military strategists."
"Military strategy is all about killing and conquest, about stopping war."
"Wherever there is unrest, we will be there!"
Is this world at peace?
"Look at the faces of the Western wolves, I'm not so sure," Chen Tiansheng shook his head.
"I hope that when the country hosts a grand event, it will not forget to be ready for battle at any time!" he added.
“That’s true.” Shi Jing nodded.
"This is a mysterious country."
"It is also an ancient country!"
"Drunk beneath the Stone of Three Lives".
"Dancing in the clouds of the nine heavens".
"A million miles of rivers and mountains, so enchanting!"
"The red leaves of Fragrant Hills are as red as fire."
"The camel bells from beyond the Great Wall seem to echo in my ears."
"The snow-capped mountains stretch endlessly, their snowflakes like brocade."
"Outside Yanmen Pass, the setting sun over the long river..." As the sound of a zither rang out, a beautiful figure dressed in ancient costume appeared on the stage. Her face was veiled by a light gauze, and she played the pipa in her hands. Together with the music, she immediately transported everyone into a scene of magnificent landscape.
The singing was melodious and captivating, leaving the listener mesmerized....
When the music ended, everyone was still immersed in it, unable to pull themselves away.
A minute later, someone finally woke up.
"It's so beautiful, so melodious."
"I have listened to songs by countless musicians."
"But this song is the most beautiful, the most moving, and the most captivating song I have ever heard."
"Great, that's wonderful."
"Clap clap clap..." Thunderous applause rang out.
"Indeed impressive." Xiao Yun looked at the figure on the stage. "I never expected that Kyushu Entertainment would have such a talented singer."
"Clap clap clap..." She clapped her hands.
"Not bad, not bad."
"We almost missed it," Li Shi said with emotion.
"That was great! Could you sing it again?" Several committee members shouted, not satisfied with the performance.
Judging from this, the rhythm of the arrangement is going to be disrupted!
"Old Zhang, Old Niu, what are you shouting about!"
"Don't you know they're rehearsing?" Li Shi glared at them and said.
“Committee member, this woman’s singing voice surpasses that of the other singers.”
"It would be better to give her all the opportunities and let her continue singing."
"Maybe it will elevate the opening ceremony to a whole new level," Committee Member Zhang said with a chuckle.
"Yes, I've heard all those singers' songs, they're nothing special."
"We might as well give the opportunity to this singer!" Committee Member Niu also said.
