Chapter 28 Who is the best?
The show on the stage is about to end, and the first group of beauties are ready to go on stage at any time.
There are 5 contestants in the first group, namely No. 1 Shu Wen, No. 6 Zhang Jiati, No. 11 Xie Mingfen, No. 16 Zhao Yanhong, and No. 23 Ye Qiaomei.
Zhao Yanhong performed the Cantonese opera "The Flower of the Imperial Concubine" with Ye Qiaomei.
"The Flower of the Imperial Concubine" is a Cantonese opera that many residents of Baogang often hear. It's so familiar that almost everyone can hum a few lines. Zhao Yanhong grew up in Baogang and has been singing along since she was a child.
In order to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, Zhao Yanhong made a special trip to learn from a master for a period of time a year ago. It can be said that this Cantonese opera is her best talent.
"The Flower of the Imperial Daughter" tells the tragic love story of Princess Changping and her husband Zhou Shixian in the late Ming Dynasty. The selected part is the scene where Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian both committed suicide by taking poison for their country.
Ye Qiaomei has a beautiful singing voice and likes to listen to Cantonese opera. She sings with great charm. She plays Princess Changping.
"The fallen flowers filled the sky and blocked out the moonlight,
I'd like to borrow a cup to offer to the Phoenix Terrace.
The Emperor's daughter offered incense with tears in her eyes,
I would like to sacrifice my life to thank my parents.
I secretly watch, secretly look,
He was filled with tears and was secretly sad.
I was half frightened,
I am afraid that the prince consort will cherish their love.
Unwilling to die for love, I will accompany you to the earth."
With a voice full of sadness, Ye Qiaomei portrayed Princess Changping's inner sadness and panic vividly.
The camera turned to Zhao Yanhong.
Zhao Yanhong played the role of the son-in-law Zhou Shixian. As soon as she opened her mouth, her female singing style of male voice amazed the audience.
"My heart longs to be buried together,
The mandarin ducks snuggle together.
A new house was built on the terrace.
Look for Pingyangmen Lane in the underworld again."
In the camera, Zhao Yanhong's tearful affection fully expresses Zhou Shixian's determination to sacrifice himself for love and country.
Ye Qiaomei came up with tears in her eyes, looked at Zhao Yanhong affectionately, and sang:
"Alas, those who cherish flowers are willing to be buried with them,
It is hard to make a prince consort drink arsenic on a wedding night."
Zhao Yanhong covered her face with a heavy look and sang:
"The land is in mourning,
I am grateful for the kindness of the late emperor.
My wife and I both ask about the emperor's health——"
At this time, the camera began to turn to No. 1 Shu Wen and No. 6 Zhang Jiati, who performed a sword dance.
"The Flower of the Imperial Concubine" was still being sung, becoming the background music for their sword dancing.
Shu Wen, holding a long sword, performed a sword flower, her dance moving slowly and quickly to the beat of "The Flower of the Imperial Concubine", a very graceful movement. Each move was as graceful as poetry.
The camera turned to Zhang Jiati, who performed a sword dance that was a bit tough and her moves were neat, like a swordsman wandering the world alone.
If Shu Wen's sword is soft, light and harmonious, then Zhang Jiati's sword is hard, brave and resolute.
Nowadays people love martial arts dramas and are fascinated by the sword dance of the two women on stage.
After each of them had their turn, the two women began to work together, one soft and one hard, fighting each other, back and forth, very lively. Accompanied by music, the viewing experience was even more exciting.
The last shot was given to No. 11 Xie Mingfen, who was not good at singing or dancing, but brought her newly learned magic to the stage.
A pair of beautiful hands were like flowers blooming, with petals constantly flying out, turning the stage into a spring garden.
Such a novel magic show made the audience watch with gusto.
Zhao Yanhong sang: "The Flower of the Imperial Daughter."
Ye Qiaomei sang: "Always be with my beloved."
The two sang together: "Husband and wife died in the same way as trees—"
As Zhao Yanhong and Ye Qiaomei's Cantonese opera came to an end, this round of performances also came to an end.
The five beauties walked to the front together, bowed to the audience, and then stepped back.
The audience applauded for a long time, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with the performances of the five beauties.
Chen Jinchu walked onto the stage and clapped his hands a few times, praising, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I was watching from the audience and almost forgot to get on stage. I wish I could ask them to come back and perform again. I wonder what the audience thinks after watching this?"
The host, Fang Shigao, was already sitting next to the audience. He took the microphone and asked the audience, "Who do you think performed the best among the five contestants?"
This audience member is also a TV artist named Liu Yi Yang. He is quite well-known and has acted in several movies. Almost all the audiences in front of the TV know him.
Liu Yiyang said with a smile: "I like them all, they are all equally good."
Fang Shigao was dissatisfied with this answer and teased Liu Yiyang, "You're trying to smooth things over again! Even if you can't agree on anything, you still have to give an answer to everyone in the audience. Of the five contestants, you must say which one you think is the best. No one else, only one. You can't refuse to answer."
Under Fang Shigao's aggressive pressure, Liu Yiyang crossed his arms and thought for a moment, looking very unsure about the choice. Then he said, "Let's go with number 16. I think her performance is a little better."
"What's good about it?" Fang Shigao continued to ask.
Liu Yiyang said: "Fortunately, it's a woman singing a male voice, which is rare. I can't do it anyway. I can't sing a female voice. Also, she sings well and acts well. All in all, she's better."
Fang Shigao said to Liu Yiyang cunningly, "You said No. 16 is good in this and that. Is it because she is the most beautiful of the five that you think she is good in everything? I know you have always been a lustful person."
"Who said that? I have always been a very serious person. A gentleman is a term used to describe a person with my character and temperament." Liu Yiyang answered seriously.
On the stage, Chen Jinchu laughed and took over the topic, saying, "Thank you, thank you Shigao and Yiyang. Your performances are much more exciting than the contestants on stage. Okay, everyone, turn your attention back. If you want to continue watching Yiyang, please support his movies. Next, let's continue to enjoy the performances of the contestants below."
The performers in the second group are No. 3 Zhang Ying, No. 9 Lin Qianyou, No. 10 Lin Yina, and No. 17 Zhu Wanwen.
In this group, there are only four beauties performing on the same stage.
A white piano has been placed on the stage.
Contestant No. 17, Zhu Wanwen, was wearing a black floor-length dress and sitting in front of the piano.
After everything was ready, all the lights on the stage suddenly went out.
Then, a cylindrical light hit Zhu Wanwen.
Zhu Wanwen closed her eyes slightly, her thoughts seemed no longer on the stage, but immersed in another world.
Her slender fingers fell on the piano keys, and a very difficult piece of "Memories of Don Juan" flowed from her fingers.
The playing began.
Zhu Wanwen demonstrated her superb skills, performing various movements of extreme difficulty, with her hands almost spanning the entire piano keyboard.
The various showmanships were so dazzling that people who understood music got goosebumps.
Even if you don't understand music, you can't help but get immersed in it.
Just as the audience was immersed in Zhu Wanwen's piano music and skills, a circular beam of light suddenly fell on the stage.
This beam of light hit Lin Qianyou Athena.
Lin Qianyou, wearing a white ballet costume, stood by the lake like a noble swan.
