While Li Tian was holding a celebratory banquet, the impact of CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was only just beginning.
Professor Ai Hua of the Faculty of Arts at Imperial University received a message from an old friend.
I opened the message from my old friend, and there was a poem with varying lengths.
As a professor in the Faculty of Letters at Imperial Capital University, he often exchanges poems with his old friends.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and Professor Ai thought it was the same as in previous years, a poem given to him by an old friend.
Then Professor Ai began to read it carefully, but after reading only the first half of the poem, he was shocked.
The last two lines of the second half of the poem read, "May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, though separated by a thousand miles."
This immediately excited Professor Ai; these were poems that could be passed down through the ages!
Is this really a gift from an old friend?
wrong!
Professor Ai then denied this possibility, saying he knew very well what level his old friend was at.
If he could write this poem, that wouldn't be considered an extraordinary performance, that would be called cheating in a game!
He then picked up his phone and called his old friend, saying, "Hey! Old Wei! Where did you copy this poem from?"
"Copied? Why don't you just say I wrote it?"
"You wrote this? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think I don't know your own limitations? Tell me! Tell the truth!"
"I didn't expect you to look down on me so much, but you guessed right! Hehe! Didn't you watch CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala this year?"
"I really haven't watched that. The CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala gets worse every year, what's there to watch? You know, I haven't watched CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala for a long time, why are you asking about this!"
"Hehe, I saw it today. The lyrics I gave you are actually the lyrics to a song. How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"
"Huh? Lyrics? You're saying these are lyrics?"
Professor Ai could hardly believe that these timeless poems were actually the lyrics to a song.
"That's right, you're right. These really are lyrics from a song. If you don't believe me, go watch the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival rebroadcast. Let me tell you, this year's CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is absolutely the best ever!"
"Really? Then I'd like to see!"
After saying goodbye to his old friend, Professor Ai began watching a rebroadcast of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
The first few songs were all pretty standard and nothing special, except for "As You Wish," which Professor Ai thought was quite good.
When the night wind sang "Blue and White Porcelain," Professor Ai's eyes lit up.
This song is well-written, much better than that one by Li Tian.
Although Li Tian's two songs were also good, they really couldn't compare to this stubborn Niu Yi.
The two are simply not on the same level; the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent when compared side by side.
However, Professor Ai soon discovered several flaws in the lyrics of the song "Blue and White Porcelain".
However, Professor Ai later realized that these were lyrics, not academic papers, and there was no need to make such a big deal out of it.
When Ye Feng finished singing and Gao Yang took the stage.
The scene behind Gao Yang changed to the style of a landscape painting, and the words "May we all live long and prosper" appeared on the screen.
When Professor Ai saw that Li Tian was the lyricist and composer, he was completely stunned.
He had previously said that Li Tian was not as stubborn as that ox, but now the appearance of this poem is like slapping himself hard in the face.
He never dreamed that this poem was actually written by Li Tian.
At the same time, Gao Yang's singing began, but Professor Ai was unmoved by it.
However, I was quite shocked by the lyrics of this song; these lyrics will definitely be remembered for eternity.
Thinking of this, Professor Ai immediately made a phone call to his old friend.
My old friend across the street wasn't asleep either; he was probably waiting for a call from another old friend.
"Hey, how was it? I'm just asking you, what did you think of CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala this year?"
"Great, really great, so much better than a few years ago!"
"You want to ask about Li Tian's poem, right?"
"Indeed, I never expected that the person who wrote such a timeless masterpiece was actually a singer. Where does this leave us self-proclaimed literary figures?"
"Sigh! Stop talking. Now that you've said that, I feel like I have to give up my title as a poet. Compared to this poem, everything I write is garbage!"
"Who can argue with that? Seeing this poem, I felt utterly ashamed, unworthy of my title as a professor in the Faculty of Arts!"
………
As time goes by, more and more people are starting to discuss this year's CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
Li Tian's name was mentioned the most, which made him trend on social media again.
The next day, the topic of CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was still trending at number one on social media.
And the topic's popularity has not diminished; on the contrary, it has become increasingly popular.
This successfully brought CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala back into the public eye.
The audio recordings of these songs performed at the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala have been downloaded by countless people.
Just as Ye Lan returned to her residence, she received a call from the old man.
"Hey! Dad! You wanted to see me?"
"Yes! I watched the Mid-Autumn Festival gala yesterday. It was great, really great, even better than the previous years!"
"Then look at me, don't you even know whose daughter I am?"
"Hahaha, good, good, good! By the way, that Li Tian is that Li Tian, right!"
Ye Lan naturally knew what the old man wanted to say, and this matter could not be hidden.
"Yes, Dad! It's that bastard!"
"Hmph! He got off too easy. It's too good that we didn't chop him up and feed him to the dogs back then!"
"Dad! So many years have passed, let's just let it go! Besides, Xiaofeng has grown up. Even if you don't care about him, you should at least think about Xiaofeng's feelings!"
