Chapter 42 The Last Waltz
Even so, the audience still couldn't get enough of it.
Nowadays, all TV movies and TV series with good martial arts are very popular, let alone this kind of performance that is performed directly on the stage, directly bringing the martial arts scenes onto the stage, without any NG, without editing, and it is smooth in one take, which is the most pleasing to the eyes and the most satisfying to the heart.
When the light fell on the next beauty, there was a sense of loss.
A Zhan, the program director, watched for a while and became increasingly bored. He said to Anna, his subordinate, who was sitting next to him, "Why don't you put Hu Xiaoxiao at the end? Now the rest of the show is boring."
Anna said helplessly: "Boss, have you forgotten that every semicolon is decided by drawing lots?"
If it is not decided by drawing lots, things will be even worse.
People in Hong Kong are very superstitious. They dislike the number 4 or numbers ending in 4 the most. I'm sure no one wants to get this number.
8 and the last digit 8 mean wealth and fortune, which is the best omen.
There is also 6 and the last digit 6, which means everything will go smoothly, which is also a good omen.
When it comes to the semicolon, 8 and 6 will definitely fight each other.
In order to prevent trouble, the program department simply drew lots to decide the score.
Who knew that the two popular candidates were both drawn to the front, especially Hu Xiaoxiao. After her performance, the audience looked boring.
A Zhan also knew the reason, and just couldn't help but complain just now.
He looked at the audience at the scene. Many of them felt the same as him. He believed that the audience watching on TV also had the same idea.
He looked at some of the actors who came to the scene, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
A Zhan waved his hand, called a staff member over, and whispered a few words to him. After hearing this, the staff member quickly sent someone to get the props, and personally ran to whisper in Chen Jinchu's ear.
After the beauties finished their acrobatic performances, Chen Jinchu walked onto the stage clapping his hands.
Fang Shigao also went up with him.
"Excellent, absolutely wonderful." Chen Jinchu asked Fang Shigao, "What do you think of the talented people's performances? Are there any that left a particularly deep impression on you?"
Fang Shigao and Chen Jinchu have been partners for so many years that they've developed a tacit understanding. "Yes, of course. It's not just me, I'm sure everyone in the audience feels a pang of regret too, wishing they could call out contestant number 5 for another performance."
Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "It's impossible to watch it again. The contestants' performances are all done once. However, although it's impossible to ask the contestants to come up and perform again, there are two martial arts actors in the audience. How about asking them to perform for everyone?"
The audience responded with warm applause, clearly looking forward to it.
So, Chen Jinchu invited two famous martial arts actors from the TV station to come on stage, and asked the staff to bring the prop swords to the stage for them to perform on the spot.
In this way, we can continue to attract the audience's desire to watch and prevent the ratings from declining, and we can also buy time for the contestants to change clothes backstage and prepare for the next show.
To create an atmosphere, a theme song from a classic martial arts film was also played.
As the exciting music started, two martial arts actors, one holding a sword and the other holding a knife, fought fiercely.
The fighting was intense with swords flashing and sabers flying.
The two martial artists fought with all their might, their moves not far off from those performed on television. However, the audience, though a bit excited at the beginning, felt less and less satisfied as they watched.
Why don’t I have that same feeling of blood boiling and being unable to stop?
They are obviously very professional.
Not right.
It doesn't taste like this.
But what does it smell like?
Many people can’t explain it clearly. They just know that something is wrong, but they don’t know what is wrong.
Fortunately, the audience came from all walks of life, including many elites, and someone quickly gave an answer.
This person is Mr. Qin Huan, one of the judges of the competition. After the two martial arts actors finished their performance and left the stage, he took the microphone when the audience was confused.
He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. His voice was unique, with a sense of tranquility and a rhythmic cadence.
"It's the timing! The music's timing is wrong! Contestant No. 5's performance was very delicate. Although it was short, it was complete. Her fan dance was rendered in accordance with the strengths and weaknesses of the music, from slow to fast, from gentle to urgent, in a progressive manner.
The two martial arts actors may be professional in their combat, but they lack musical sensitivity, and their performances don't align with the music. They launch into a demanding performance right from the start, without transitions or layers. While visually captivating, the performance fails to resonate with the audience, creating a sense of dissonance.
Contestant No. 5's performance was in sync with the music, complementing each other. From the visual to the auditory senses, it was on the same level, which is why it was able to quickly elevate the audience's hearts to the rhythm and performance..."
After Mr. Qin Huan's explanation, the audience suddenly understood. Chen Jinchu nodded in understanding and said, "It really is like a world apart. Thank you Mr. Qin Huan for answering our questions, and thank you to the two martial arts actors for their wonderful performances."
Chen Jinchu took this opportunity to discuss with Fang Shigao the classic TV dramas from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years...
Backstage, the beauties all changed into dance dresses with wide and layered skirts.
Chen Tianwang also came backstage. He was wearing a black tuxedo, like a gentleman from an aristocracy. He took the headset handed to him by the staff, put it on, and tested the sound again.
The next performance was a ballroom dance by King Chen and the beauties.
The ballroom dance chosen is waltz, which is graceful and elegant, and is very suitable for reflecting the beauty's temperament and image.
This part tests your demeanor and temperament.
Hu Xiaoxiao was wearing a burgundy dance dress with a large hem that created ripples when she spun.
King Chen stood at the front and the song he was going to sing was "The Last Waltz", a very romantic song.
The stage lights dimmed, and King Chen walked up with his long legs. The beauties behind him followed him onto the stage and took their positions.
When the lights came on, the atmosphere was dominated by romantic orange colors, and only the light falling on Chen Tianwang was the brightest.
In the back, under the dim lights, the beauties danced gracefully.
The bright lights only follow Chen Tianwang, and the beauties' individual performances are the ones where they dance with Chen Tianwang.
As the music started, King Chen's magnetic and affectionate voice began to sing.
"IwonderedshouldIgoorshouldIstay,
Thebandhadonlyonemoresongtoplay,
AndthenIsawyououtthecornerofmyeyes,
Alittlegirlaloneandsohy. "
No. 1 Luo Xiangling was the first to dance with Chen Tianwang. Under the romantic lights, she looked at Chen Tianwang's handsome face and heard his gentle and affectionate singing in her ears. She couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment.
When she came back to her senses, she met Chen Tianwang's gaze again, and she subconsciously avoided it with shyness.
In front of such a brilliant superstar, and on such a romantic stage, Luo Xiangling suddenly lost the composure she usually had when practicing dancing.
