Chapter 1078: Chapter 974 Celestial Dragon_2

Chapter 1078 -974 Celestial Dragon_2

Imagine the spectacle if everyone in the Yu Dynasty became a King or Queen of Singing?

The beneficiary would still be the whole of the Yu Dynasty.

Moreover…

Do you mean to say you’ve only prepared this one song?

No one believed that—everyone said they had prepared “some” performances.

“Me, me, what about me?”

Jiang Kui was already impatient.

Lin Yuan took out a piece of music right away.

The crowd looked at the sheet, and the first thing that caught their eye were three words:

Sweet Honey!

That’s right, Teresa Teng’s “Sweet Honey.”

The Spring Festival Gala was a stage that appealed to both the refined and the vulgar, and the audience spanned all age groups.

New-age pop songs might not be the preference of the older generation; Lin Yuan targeted the song at those who were older and fond of such classic hits.

“Sweet Honey…”

Jiang Kui tried singing a few lines and immediately felt like she’d struck gold, “This song is mine!”

If it were a competition, it’d be hard to predict how a song like “Sweet Honey” would perform, but placed in the Spring Festival Gala, it would undoubtedly stand out!

Unfortunately…

Teresa Teng had never appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

Then, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Sun Yaohuo and Wei Haoyun; he had also prepared pieces for these two. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

For Sun Yaohuo, the song prepared was “Congratulations on Getting Rich!”

For Madam Haoyun, the song was “An Unforgettable Night!”

After each received their songs and tried singing them, like Jiang Kui had done, they couldn’t help but smile:

Great song!

Singing these kinds of songs during the festive season, their appeal was completely predictable—even if they might not fare particularly well on the charts during the rest of the year.

“I don’t have a song?”

Xia Fan looked wronged and coquettishly complained, “I’m a singer too…”

She had been focusing more on acting lately.

Especially after the success of “Resident Evil,” her acting offers had surged, and she was doing much better in the acting world than in the music industry. However, she still occasionally released songs to maintain her singer identity.

Lin Yuan said, “It’s time to go home.”

Xia Fan was stunned, “You guys will be performing on stage, and I should go home?”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and took out the song “It’s Time to Go Home,” and Xia Fan then understood what he meant.

Before Xia Fan could assess the quality of the song, Lin Yuan already spoke up, “Then there’s also a big chorus by the Yu Dynasty.”

“What song are we singing for the chorus?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

Lin Yuan was still considering which song to use for the chorus.

There were indeed many songs suitable for the Yu Dynasty to sing together at the Spring Festival Gala, with plenty of choices to pick from; however, given the limited time and number of performances, the selection had to be made carefully.

There was limited time for a limited number of acts.

Surely the Yu Dynasty couldn’t monopolize the Spring Festival Gala, right?

Lin Yuan hadn’t even prepared a solo for himself, taking these factors into account.

At that moment…

Chen Zhiyu said, “If we’re going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala and coordinate rehearsals and the like, it’s easy for there to be scheduling conflicts. We might not have time to shoot variety shows then.”

They still had to record “Fish Walking with You.”

If that clashed with the Spring Festival Gala, things would be a bit troublesome.

However, Lin Yuan had already planned for this contingency, “It’s all the same if we record the variety show later on; after all, this show is just for fun.”

Everyone laughed at this.

This variety show really was just for fun, with an erratic update schedule unlike other more regular shows.

“Just let the director know.”

Sun Yaohuo opened the group chat for “Fish Walking with You,” tagged Tong Shuwen, and mentioned how the Spring Festival Gala might delay the variety show’s filming.

They thought Tong Shuwen would be anxious.

Unexpectedly, Tong Shuwen sent a gritted teeth smiley face: “I was actually worried about how to discuss this with you guys. Now it turns out to be perfect timing. You guys will be recording for the Spring Festival Gala, and I also need to take care of the recording for the Qin Continent event, since I am the chief director for this edition of the Qin Continent event. Since everyone is busy, let’s just put the variety show recording on hold for a while.”

“That’s fine, Director Tong!”

Everyone was surprised, not expecting Tong Shuwen to have become the chief director of the Qin Continent event, which was a significant official recognition!

Yes.

Blue Star has a Spring Festival Gala.

At the same time, each continent on Blue Star also has its own local Spring Festival programs!

The broadcast times for the local Spring Festival Galas and Blue Star’s Spring Festival Gala are staggered.

Local Spring Festival Galas are broadcasted on the 29th of the New Year,

while Blue Star’s Spring Festival Gala is broadcasted on New Year’s Eve.

This is similar to the difference between the regional Spring Festival Galas of Celestial Dynasty’s local stations and the central station’s gala.

Of course.

In terms of attracting audiences and the quality of the galas themselves, the quality of the continent festivals can’t compare with Blue Star’s Spring Festival Gala.

However…

On the 29th of the New Year, the people of each continent are also very interested in their own local Spring Festival Galas. After all, countless stars are invited to each continent’s gala!

Furthermore.

Since the merger of Blue Star, the cultural walls between continents have been broken down, and the importance placed on each continent’s local Spring Festival Gala is increasingly high!

This is because they can compete not only for the viewership of their own continent but also aim to attract viewers from other continents!

Inside the group chat.

Tong Shuwen suddenly expressed some regret: “Since you guys are participating in Blue Star’s Spring Festival Gala, you won’t be able to take part in the local ones, otherwise I’d like to invite you to join our Qin Continent’s gala.”

“You can participate.”

Xia Fan naively said: “Aren’t the times for the two galas staggered?”

Sun Yaohuo smiled and said, “This year, Blue Star’s Spring Festival Gala is hosted by Zhong Continent, and Zhong Continent has a rule: those who participate in Blue Star’s Spring Festival Gala are not allowed to participate in local ones at the same time. First, they are afraid that audiences might get confused watching; second, Zhong believes this will dissipate focus.”

Zhao Ying Ge pouted: “That’s really domineering.”

The Spring Festival Gala requires months of preparation, so there is more than enough time and energy to prepare multiple performances.

Jiang Kui shrugged: “Zhong’s dominance is not a new thing.”

“You guys think the same, right?”

Xia Fan criticized: “I’ve been to Zhong to shoot a movie before, and the people there are very exclusive. When mentioning other continents, they show a sense of superiority, calling everyone from outside their continent ‘foreigners’ or ‘outsiders,’ which is quite uncomfortable. It’s as if they’re the center of Blue Star.”

“In terms of geographical location, they’re not the center, but politically, Zhong indeed is the center.”

Chen Zhiyu sighed: “Haven’t you heard the joke? A dog from Zhong is valued higher than dogs from the other seven continents.”

Indeed, this is a joke on Blue Star.

Due to an early news story, a pet store was overcharging, selling a Husky at a price far higher than the market rate.

The buyer, initially unaware of the market price, went to claim their rights after finding out. The pet store owner’s justification was:

“This dog is from Zhong.”

Could a Zhong Husky transform into a werewolf on the night of a full moon?

This absurd news actually happened, leading to the joke becoming widely popular, with countless netizens making fun of it with various memes.

This is also related to the inherent impression Zhong gives to other continents.

Because people from Zhong really have an inherent gene for looking down on the other seven continents, with extreme xenophobia.

And yet, countless people from the other seven continents are desperate to become Zhong residents, trying to get a Zhong hukou!

Many wealthy people also like to buy homes in Zhong, biting the bullet to do so, despite the sky-high real estate prices!

This only further inflates Zhong people’s arrogance.

“Zhong Continental Nation.”

This is how some people describe Zhong.

Although Blue Star has no concept of separate nations, there came the term “Zhong Continental Nation.”

And when Shadow’s “One Piece” mentioned the world nobles of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, many fans felt that the so-called Celestial Dragons were a reflection of Zhong!

Only Lin Yuan knew:

This was definitely a coincidence!

Even he felt that this coincidence intriguingly mirrored reality. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have criticized in front of the chairman that some people in Zhong were just like Celestial Dragons.

Same arrogance.

Same disdain for everything.

Same world nobility.

At that moment in the group chat, Tong Shuwen said, “I wish everyone a successful performance at the Blue Star gala. I have to get busy with Qin’s gala preparations, the chief director’s job is not easy.”

“Good luck!”

Everyone cheered him on.

Yu Dynasty already had a close relationship with Tong Shuwen.

No longer chatting in the group, everyone began to eat while eagerly taking out the sheet music, humming the performance pieces Lin Yuan had prepared for them…
