Chapter 113 Star-Making Plan (Part )
Last time we talked about Li Yi being reinstated and the Great Wei Folk Song Festival being able to continue, so let’s continue reading.
The final of the Da Wei Folk Song Festival, which was postponed for seven days, has regained its popularity due to Li Yi's high-profile comeback. After the previous turmoil, the competition was held normally, and it was stripped of the title of extravagance and debauchery and transformed into a pure music festival.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the finals officially began, and the number of women in the audience doubled, because the Wei officials awarded Li Yi the "Qinglian" certificate to clear his name. The ladies who had missed Li Yi's concert before but heard that the scene was very shocked did not want to miss this event this time.
Dugu Long came with his wife, and even Nangong Xue came to the scene. In the first row of the audience, Shiyu sat in the middle, with Xiaoye and Yuehua on both sides. Yu Qilong, Nangong Xue, Wang Zhong and Yuwen Yuan also sat in the first row. This lineup can be said to be Li Yi's strongest support group.
Because of the seven-day delay, Exiled Immortal Tower was extremely well prepared for the finals and even upgraded the stage venue. Although it can still accommodate a thousand people, the hardware facilities have been strengthened and supporting services have also been set up.
There were merchants selling souvenir pendants, wine, fruits, cakes and snacks, all of them had smart minds, but the best-selling one was the one Li Yi proposed using the Confucian and Taoist method of condensing qi into materials to make a bracelet that could glow for three hours. In fact, it was just a bracelet made of the cheapest jade, and then they would find a Confucian scholar of the seventh rank to inject his own talent into it to make it glow. It wouldn't take much talent to make it glow for only three hours, and a Confucian scholar of the seventh rank with abundant talent could do it.
But a bracelet that cost less than two taels of silver was sold for ten taels in the finals venue after being enlightened by talent. At first, Li Yi just said it casually, but Shi Yu and Manager Zhou made a big fuss about it. I don't know where Manager Zhou found a Confucian scholar to make two hundred strings, and then sold them here in limited quantities. As a result, they were quickly sold out.
Shiyu, Xiaoye and Yuehua were wearing bracelets on their left and right hands. The ones they wore were made by Li Yi. Yuwen Yuan found them interesting. Before she could say anything, Wang Zhong had already bought two bracelets for her and put them on. Yuwen Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, you have made progress, you can actually see what I am thinking." Wang Zhong chuckled and felt very proud.
Nangong Xue saw Yuwen Yuan's happy look and wanted to borrow it to have a look, but Yuwen Yuan refused. Nangong Xue said to her brother coldly: "Go, buy me two too!"
Nangong Qi went to buy them, but they were sold out. He came back empty-handed and was glared at by Nangong Xue. He immediately turned around and left. Finally, he spent a high price of thirty taels a string to buy two strings from someone else and handed them to Nangong Xue. Nangong Xue took them and looked at them, but found them meaningless, so she returned them, which made Nangong Qi so angry that his teeth ached.
In fact, the people who bought the bracelets didn't know what they were for. Only Shiyu knew. She was watching the fun from the side. She almost laughed out loud when she saw Nangong Qi being humiliated. Everyone had taken their seats. The originally brightly lit stage suddenly went dark. Everyone held their breath, knowing that the finals were about to begin.
A beam of light suddenly shone on the stage, followed by the sound of a piano. Master Xu sat on the elevator and slowly rose onto the stage. Another beam of light shone. It was Lord Sun Le playing the flute and leading the orchestra of the Ministry of Rites and Music. All the performances tonight would be performed by them. This was the benefit of official recognition.
As the thickest and brightest beam of light shone in the center of the stage, Li Yi took Bailing's hand and slowly ascended the stage until he stepped off the elevator. The prelude just ended:
Lark: The night is getting cooler
A peach blossom falls from the sky
You are looking from afar (peach blossoms scattered in the sky and turned into a rain of flowers)
Use up all the twilight (petals fall on the stage)
It is hard to forget each other without thinking about each other (the stage instantly condensed into white frost)
Li Yi: The Peach Blossoms Are Cool
How could you give up in your previous life (white frost turns into mist)
This sea is so vast (a sea of clouds forms above the stage)
Still pretending to be indifferent and not far-fetched (Storm is rising)
It's all an illusion
Bai Ling: The cool night makes me miss you like a river (clouds rise into the sky and turn into flowing water)
Turning into spring mud to protect me (the screen shows the poem "Protecting Flowers" given by Li Yi to Shiyu)
Li Yi: The fleeting years brush against the sleeves of the lover (Peach blossom petals fly out of Li Yi's hands and merge with the flowing water in the air and dance in the sky)
Pieces of fragrant flowers flow into the water
Bai Ling: The cool will of heaven is reflected in the color of flowers (petals and water fly towards Bai Ling, reflecting her dress into a peach color)
Falling into the mortal world hurts me
Li Yi: It is easy to overcome the disaster of life, but it is difficult to overcome the disaster of love
The depreciated heart still has some hatred from the previous life (Li Yi with a slightly crying tone)
A few more points
Chorus: Hatred of the previous life (the two people looked at each other and reached out their hands to each other)
Bai Ling: Bai Ling's hair turned white.
I once saw the light because of you (and then turned black again in an instant)
The years are long (black and white alternate and finally stop at black)
How can I waste my time?
Go wandering
Li Yi: Go Wandering
Bailing: Go in exchange for growth
Li Yi: The Cool Peach Blossoms (Li Yi stretched out his hand and a peach blossom flew out)
This life is getting hotter and hotter (peach blossoms fly towards larkspur in the firelight)
One is already in my heart (Bai Ling takes the peach blossom and holds it in her hand)
Enough for three lifetimes to have a pair of back figures (then put your hands on your chest)
Bai Ling: Back to back
Chorus: On the Waterside
Bai Ling: The cool night makes me miss you like a river (all the white mist on the stage rises into the sky)
Transformed into spring mud to protect me (Gathered into streams to linger around the lark)
Li Yi: The fleeting years brush against the sleeves of my lover (Peach blossom petals fly out of Li Yi's hands again)
Pieces of fragrant flowers fall into the water flow (flying into the water flow around the lark)
Bai Ling: The cool will of heaven is all colorful (Bai Ling opens her hands)
Falling into the mortal world hurts me (the water flow with flower petals explodes)
Li Yi: Life disasters are easy to overcome, but love disasters are difficult (the whole stage is painted pink)
The depreciation of the heart is still there
Chorus: Some hatred from previous life
Bai Ling: Liangliang Three Lives Three Worlds Seems Like a Dream (The peach-colored stage turns into white mist and rises into the sky)
The last days of the wind and dry tears
Li Yi: If memories can no longer be recognized (turned into stars in the sky)
Chorus: Let the love fall into the dust (shooting stars falling one after another)
Bai Ling: When will spring come again after such a cool ten-mile journey? (A huge peach tree is projected on the screen)
I saw a lamp under the tree again (wind blew the peach blossoms down)
Li Yi: The falling flowers have feelings but the flowing water is heartless (Two streams of water carry two peach blossoms)
Don't let love and hate (flow to Li Yi and Bai Ling respectively)
Chorus: The purity of the flower is chilled (the two catch the peach blossoms and hold them in their hands)
I wish to be with you for my whole life (looking at each other affectionately)
With such beautiful and stunning special effects, Li Yi and Bai Ling's affectionate performances directly conquered the audience. After singing, the two bowed and bowed, and the applause from the audience continued for a long time.
Dugu Long's wife asked her husband: "Husband, are they gods in heaven? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? This is too magical."
Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this is called a special effect. It is Xiu Yuan's unique method. He is the only one in our Wei who can use this method!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. That's amazing."
Dugu Long smiled and said, "If you like it, I will bring you to watch the singing party when Xiuyuan holds one in the future."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"That's great, are they really a couple?"
Dugu Yu answered quickly: "Of course it's true. Look, Xiuyuan's first wife is sitting here! The one on the stage is his second wife."
Dugu Yu pointed at Shiyu, but at this moment, Shiyu's eyes were full of little stars and hearts. She waved at Li Yi from the audience like a possessed person, screaming as she waved: "Ah! Husband! You are the best! Bailing is so beautiful! I love you guys!"
Dugu Long quickly explained: "Sister-in-law Shiyu is not usually like this. It may be because she hasn't seen Xiuyuan use special effects for a long time, so she is a little excited."
Mrs. Long smiled and said, "This is normal. If other unmarried women saw this scene, they would probably be even crazier than her!"
Sister Long saw two women waving at Shiyu and asked, "Are those two also his wives?"
Dugu Yu answered again: "No, no, they are Xiuyuan's two adopted sisters, living in his house."
Sister Long smiled and said, "It seems that Li Yi is quite popular with women."
Dugu Yu waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you are wrong again. It's not that he is popular with women. If he wants to be a playboy, I'm afraid there is no woman in the world that he can't win! He is just good at it! I really envy him. We are both men, but why is there such a big gap between us?"
Dugu Long gave his brother a headbutt and scolded him, "You know the gap is huge but you don't work hard! You just talk about it!"
Nangong Qi said, "Brother Long, what you said is meaningless, as if we can be like Xiuyuan if we work hard."
Dugu Yu rubbed his head and said, "That's right, cultivating fate is a gift from God, it can't be achieved through hard work!"
Dugu Long was about to teach his brother a lesson when his wife stopped him. Long's wife said, "Okay, if you want to teach your brother a lesson, wait until you get home. You finally brought me out to watch a concert, so just watch it."
Dugu Yu said playfully, "Sister-in-law is still the best! You should take better care of big brother in the future, and don't beat me like this in public! It's very embarrassing!"
Dugu Long scolded: "You still want to save face in front of me!"
Sister Long stretched out her hand to separate the two and said with a smile: "Alright, if you want to make trouble, go back home. Today, I have the final say. Be quiet and watch carefully!"
On the other side, Yuwen Yuan's heart was throbbing, and if Wang Zhong wasn't by her side, she would have shouted and screamed like Shiyu on the stage. She was envious of Shiyu waving her hands in excitement on the stage, and turned to look at Wang Zhong and said, "If we get married in the future, will you bring me to the concert?"
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Of course, Xiuyuan and I are brothers, so of course I have to show my support. Besides, you like to watch it, too."
Yuwen Yuan nodded and said, "It's more than just love to watch, Brother Chong, if I were as crazy as Shiyu, would you mind?"
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "I don't mind, I don't mind! I think it would be better if you could relax a little more. It seems like you feel restrained when you are with me."
Yu Wenyuan was delighted when she heard this and asked, "Really?"
Wang nodded. Yuwen Yuan smiled and put on the bracelet, straightened her dress and said, "Then I will let go a little tonight! If you feel uncomfortable, I won't do this again in the future."
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Just let it go. There's no need to feel uncomfortable."
Yuwen Yuan reached out her hand, shook Wang Zhong's hand, and then kissed him on the face. Wang Zhong was stunned, this was the first time they had had close contact, and then he was even more stunned, because Yuwen Yuan ran to Shi Yu and went crazy with the madman!
Nangong Xue saw this scene and shook her head and muttered, "They said I don't know etiquette, but they know etiquette like this?"
Nangong Qi said, "At least they wouldn't do this in front of the Queen Mother."
Nangong Xue glared at her brother fiercely, and the latter immediately shut up and shrank his neck, feeling a chill coming from behind. He instantly realized the feeling of the gradually getting cooler as night fell.
The applause and cheers gradually stopped. Li Yi, Bailing, Mr. Xu and Lord Sun on the stage had been standing for a long time.
Mr. Xu stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he said: "I have always been fond of ancient music before, and I feel that even if the younger generation is gifted, it will be difficult to surpass the magnificent music of the ancient sages. After performing on the same stage with Li Yuefu tonight, I can only sigh that I was short-sighted. I didn't know that there was such a natural genius like Li Yuefu in the world. Not only does he have good music and lyrics and can sing well, but he can also show the artistic conception of the song like a dream. I really admire him, and I admire him very much!" Then he saluted Li Yi.
